Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples Religious Ministries Team hosted a National Prayer Breakfast on board NSA Naples Capodichino, Feb. 19. The event’s guest speaker was Capt. James Aiken, commander, Task Force 65. Aiken spoke to the attendees about the value of character, illustrating his point with examples from the life of Jesus, personal stories and a touch of humor.

“I am sure many of us have heard the expression character counts. It certainly does, but in my journey over the last number of months I have come to view that phrase a bit differently especially in light of character development,” Aiken said at the podium. “There are no shortcuts in character development. Relating leads to relationships that allow our example to be observed;, what are we exemplifying? Coaching serves to prepare and execute; character is not

a destination but a journey make character count. ” Logistics Specialist 1st Class Germaine Sokpoh, one of the 30 attendees said the commodore’s message was “right on point.” “Character builds personality and character builds on endurance. Without character you cannot pursue your goals, if you’re not determined to go after what you’re looking for, you won’t be able to achieve it,” he said. “For me and from what the Commodore said,

character is the baseline for every achievement we have in life.” After Aiken spoke, Lt. Cmdr. Leroy Young, a Navy chaplain, led the attendees in a prayer for the nation, its leaders, families and military commands. The National Prayer Breakfast has been in annual event held on the first Thursday of February since 1953. Since its inception, every sitting American president has attended the event.

Tooth Fairy, not the only winner when it comes to children’s oral health By Cmdr. Sabina Yun, U.S. Naval Hospital Naples

They are questions as old as dentistry; are baby teeth really that important? Won’t they just fall out anyway? Do I really need to take care of them? The answers are just as old. Yes they are important. Yes they will fall out anyway. Yes it is important to take proper care of them from the very beginning.

Baby teeth are as important to children as permanent teeth are to adults. Adults and children alike need teeth for proper chewing and nutrition intake, speech development and to establish self assurance and confidence every time we smile. In addition to those basic functions, baby teeth serve as space savers for permanent teeth and help guide them into their proper alignment. A baby tooth normally re-

mains in a child’s mouth until a growing permanent tooth is ready to erupt through the gums. If a child loses a tooth prematurely due to an accident or extraction of a diseased tooth, it will lead to the loss of space and has the potential to cause the new permanent tooth to erupt out of alignment or fail to erupt completely.

Military service members’ February leave and earning statement (LES) will carry a reminder that as of Oct. 1, any accrued leave more than 60 days will be lost. Since 2008 Sailors have been allowed to carryover up to 75 days of leave each fiscal year as authorized by Congress. That authorization will end at the end of fiscal year 2015 after which leave carryover will revert to 60 days. In general, any leave balance in excess of 60 days on Sept. 30, 2015 will be lost. Service members’ LES may have an incorrect use/lose leave balance. Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) is reprogramming pay systems to account for the return to the 60 day leave carryover by the June 2015 LES. Sailors should check their LES and talk with their Command Pass Coordinator (CPC) for help understanding their correct use/lose balance. There are some specific exceptions. Sailors with more leave days than the authorized carryover limit, who are also assigned to hostile fire or imminent danger pay areas or deployed on a ship or mobile unit for at least 60 continuous days, may apply for special leave accrual (SLA) to retain any excess leave days. This request is typically done at the command level. Instructions on how to apply for and administer SLA are outlined in MILPERSMAN 1050-070. Sailors are encouraged to work with their commands to manage their leave balances throughout FY15. Commands with questions on leave policies should contact their local Personnel Support Detachment (PSD) or call the NPC Customer Service Center at 1-866-UASK-NPC (1-866-827-5672).

Personal Vehicle Security Italian authorities recently arrested thieves operating at the Capodichino airport who were using keyless vehicle jammers to keep car doors from locking and then gaining entry after the victims walked away. Keep this in mind as you leave your car anywhere. Personnel can verify their vehicle locks depending on the model by the beeping sound or flashing light, physically checking afterward or using the key. It’s still advised to not leave valuables in your car while it is parked on the street or in open parking lots, especially with visible items like iPods, GPS devices, etc.

Flag Etiquette Reminder During the playing of the national anthem, all persons present in uniform render the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All others should face the flag and stand at attention with the right hand over the heart. Men should remove their hats. When the flag is not displayed, face toward the music and act in the same manner. Service members are to show the same respect during foreign national anthems. Civilians and those not in uniform should stand at attention during foreign national anthems. Uniformed personnel should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. This etiquette and additional information can be found in the U.S. Code (Federal Flag Code) and in military regulations. It is applicable for morning and evening colors, sporting events, ceremonies and other instances where the national anthem is played.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS A priest living in a northern town in Italy told his parishioners at mass he was fined more than 1,300 euro for the noisy ringing of his church bells. The regional environmental protection agency registered an intolerable level of noise pollution ringing out from his church, after a complaint by a local resident. The priest has limited the duration of the ringing at 60 seconds since then, while the centuries-old tradition sound lasted a few minutes. He believes the ringing is within the authorized limits of noise pollution, and he has received support from his parishioners to appeal the fine.

HOMELESS MAN TO BE BURIED AT VATICAN A homeless man, 80, was found dead in the Vatican between December and January. He was known to many in the Vatican where he used to beg near St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica. The homeless man will be the first homeless person who will have the honor of being buried in the Teutonic cemetery after Pope Francis gave his permission. The Teutonic cemetery is the oldest German establishment in Rome, located between St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basilica and the Audience hall of

Paul VI. It was the site of the martyrdom of many Christians in Rome. Many charity initiatives were introduced by the Vatican for helping the homeless who are now able to get a free shave and haircut. Lately, showers and toilets were installed following an episode of a homeless man who turned down a dinner invitation from the Vatican, because he smelled bad.

NAVY HISTORY: FIRST FEMALE CAPTAIN

On Feb. 26, 1944, Sue Sophia Dauser, Superintendent of the Navy’s Nurse Corps became the first woman in the Navy to receive the rank of Captain. She was born Sept. 20, 1888, in Anaheim, Calif. Dauser earned her nursing degree from California Hospital School of Nursing in 1914, and she remained there serving as a surgical supervisor until 1917. When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, Dauser joined the naval reserve. By October 1917, Dauser was on active duty, train-

ing at the Naval Hospital in San Diego. Shortly after that, she was promoted to chief nurse. In August 1918, Dauser and the nurses in her charge left for Liverpool,

England. From there, she went on to Edinburgh, Scotland, where her nurses cared for both British and American

Registration for Naples Elementary School From Naples Elementary School

Naples Elementary School will conduct registration for next school year in the Atrium from March 23 to April 3, for new, returning and Kindergarten students. No child will be allowed to attend school next year until this process is completed, so please be sure to enter the dates and times below in your planning calendar. School Year 2015-2016 registration will be “All Call” for two weeks: WEEK 1 – March 23 to 27, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. WEEK 2 – March 30 to April 3 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration is a very important process for the school. Yearly registration of students is required as a means to establish eligibility for tuition-free or tuition enrollment. However, more importantly, we need to be sure that we can establish grade level class enrollments as close as possible to pupil-teacher ratio benchmarks. Therefore, we need exact counts of students returning to our school next year, in order to plan future classes. Student registration after April 6 will be by appointment only.

forces. From the end of the war in 1918 until 1939, Dauser’s assignments took her to every naval station on the West Coast, as well as Guam and the Philippines. In addition to serving at shore hospitals, she served on several ships, and was at the bedside of President Warren G. Harding when he died in San Francisco in 1923. In 1939, Dauser was appointed superintendent of the Navy Nurse Corps. Her main charge was to prepare and expand the Navy’s Nurse Corps, for what the War Department anticipated would be another major war looming on the horizon. She also had another more personal mission: to obtain equal rank and privileges for Navy nurses, who, although being treated as officers, received neither the same pay nor benefits, as male officers. At the start of World War II, the Navy had only about 600 nurses, but by the end of the war in 1945, the Nurse Corps was 11,000 strong. And in 1942, Congress authorized full officer’s commissions and equal pay for Navy nurses. Both achievements were a result of Dauser’s untiring and selfless work. On Feb. 26, 1944, Dauser was promoted to captain. In 1945, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal presented Dauser with the Distinguished Service Medal, the first Navy nurse to earn that honor: Another first for this remarkable woman. A veteran of two wars, three ships, and 28 years of active duty, Dauser retired in November 1945. She lived the remainder of her life in La Mesa, Calif., until her death on March 11, 1972.

With the 2014 mid-term election in their wake, Sailors might be tempted to forget about absentee voting and politics in general until 2016. “Not so fast,” said Lt. Whit Abraham, the Navy Voting Action Officer. Odd-numbered years are historically considered “off-years” for voting, and draw fewer voters to the polls. So why should Sailors think about voting now? Although they often take a back seat to national races, local elections are just as important. Sailors stationed far from home have family members in their hometowns, and may even intend to reside there permanently at some point. Odd-year elections drive important community issues – issues with direct consequences for voters. “2015 marks many statewide races, mayoral and town elections, and even some special elections for Congress,” said Abraham, who manages the Navy’s Voting Assistance Program from Washington, D.C.. “The local officials up for election in 2015 are the ones who set property tax rates for municipalities and school districts, they’re the folks who administer police departments and maintain millions of miles of local roads and bridges, and in many states the judges – from state Supreme Courts down to local district judges – are on the ballot this year as well. So you can argue that many of these local officeholders have more to do with the daily lives of American citizens day in and day out than any other elected officials.” As defenders of the right to vote, Sailors are

encouraged to participate. “Absentee voting is easy, but the key is giving the process time,” said Abraham. A major first step in the process is visiting the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) website at http//www.fvap.gov. Here, Sailors can click on their state or territory to get detailed information about registration guidelines and local elections. Sailors wishing to vote absentee should complete an electronic Federal Post Card Applications (FPCA) early in 2015. The FPCA is a registration form, a request for a ballot, and the preferred way to update your address. Filling out and returning the FPCA updates local election officials on a member’s absentee status, and it is especially important if Sailors and spouses have changed duty stations. “An updated FPCA puts you on the radar screen,” said Abraham. “When the time comes to mail ballots later this year, election officials will know how to reach you.” Across the Navy, voting assistance is administered at the unit level. Voting assistance officers are appointed by their commanding officer and are trained by the Federal Voting Assistance Program. Besides accessing the FVAP website, voters can speak directly to these individuals who stand ready to assist Sailors and family members. “Democracy is a year-round business, and so is the Navy Voting Assistance Program. Elections are always happening, and we encourage people to ask questions and take a proactive stance” said Abraham. “We’re here to ensure your voice is heard - not just in Washington, but in your local community as well. That’s what this year is all about.”

ENERGY CONSERVATION Saving Energy At Home From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Energy conservation is not a difficult concept to practice. Sometimes, if you really want to increases savings, you have to take it one step further than “turning off the lights.” The experts from the Building Technologies Office are thinking outside the box for you. This team developed as list of the top eight ways to conserve energy and save money: 1. Install a programmable thermostat. You could save an estimated 10 percent per year on heating and cooling costs by adjusting the temperature while your home is unoccupied or during sleep hours. 2. Use natural sunlight. The sun’s rays can provide heat which can be beneficial in the winter months. It can also illuminate any room, regardless the time of the year. 3. Invest in ENERGY STAR appliances. Your home’s appliances and electronics account for close to 20 percent of your energy bills. Energy star products use 10-15 percent less energy than the leading brand of appliances. 4. Choose energy-saving lighting. Replace all incandescent bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs to reduce consumption. 5. Power strip for your electronic equipment. Electronic devices typically have a tiny circuit that is always drawing power even when the device is “off.” By plugging electronic devices into a power strip you can cut power to all the devices all at once with the flip of a switch. 6. Reduce energy for water heating. Lower the temperature of your water heater to 120 degrees and you can also wrap insulating material around the water heater to prevent loss of heat from the water tank. 7. Replace filters. You should clean the air filters in your heating and cooling system once a month, and replace them regularly. 8. Conduct an Energy Audit. Measure your home’s energy efficiency by having professionals perform an energy audit and make recommendations for systems and components that could be removed, installed or upgraded to increase energy efficiency.

teeth may require expensive and time-consuming orthodontic treatment in the future. For those reasons, it is very important that baby teeth are kept healthy and in place until they are lost naturally. Keeping baby teeth healthy starts just days after birth and will initiate a lifetime of healthy oral care. The first care you provide is actually for the babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gums. Start cleaning your babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gums using water and a soft towel or cloth. As the teeth begin to erupt, start brushing with an age appropriate toothbrush twice a day (after breakfast and before bedtime) using a fluoridated toothpaste that has been approved by the American Dental Association. Look for the ADA seal of approval on the box or tube of the toothpaste. For children less than 3 years old, use a small â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rice-sizeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; amount of toothpaste. For the 3-5 year old, use no more than a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pea-sizeâ&#x20AC;? amount. Brush twice a day and rinsing after brushing should be kept to a minimum or eliminated completely. Remember to assist your child because their manual dexterity and cognitive understanding are not mature enough to effectively clean their teeth. Good gage to go by is their ability to tie their shoelaces. Help with their brushing until the can confidently tie shoelaces on their own. Another way to promote healthy teeth is to

simply drink fluoridated water. Consuming fluoridated water and using small amounts of fluoride topically on a routine basis can help prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth structure and reducing bacterial activity that causes cavities. Research shows that community water fluoridation has lowered decay rates by more than 50 percent which translates to fewer cavities. Every time your child drinks fluoridated water, baby teeth get topical exposure and permanent teeth get fluoride incorporated into the structure during development. However unlike many communities in the United States, Italy does not have fluoridated tap water. If you are purchasing bottle water, chose the one with fluoride. If not ask your dentist or medical provider if fluoride supplements is recommended. While beneficial, it is important to note that too much fluoride can lead to fluorosis which can cause staining or pitting of the

teeth. To avoid this, limit fluoride intake to drinking fluoridated water and brushing twice a day with an age appropriate amount of fluoridated toothpaste unless otherwise directed by your dentist. The last key to proper baby teeth care is to watch what you children eat and drink. Dietary choices play an important role in oral health. One common cavity causing mistake is to allow children to fall asleep with a bottle or nurse a sippy cup filled with milk or juice. It is important to limit prolonged and frequent exposure to simple carbohydrates, foods that break down into sugars in the mouth. These include the obvious sugary foods, such as cookies, cakes, soft drinks, juice and candy. Both they also include but not limited to crackers, milk and cereals. Offer healthy snack like yogurt, cheese and fruits, and if a bottle or sippy cup is necessary to help soothe a child or help them sleep, the healthy option is water or other sugar-free drinks.

Naples Celebrates Black History Month By MC2 Darby C. Ortega American Forces Network – Europe. Naples

Sailors attended a celebration for African American / Black History month at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples’ Capodichino base theater, Feb. 24. The annual celebration, hosted by the Combined MultiCultural Heritage Committee (MCHC), was to educate Sailors on the many significant achievements and contributions of African-Americans through the history of the United States. This year’s celebration focused on “A Century of Black Life, History, and Culture,” featuring guest speakers, a video timeline presentation, poem reading and ending with a potluck of traditional African-American foods. Cmdr. Karen Alexander, guest speaker, spoke on how the theme of this year’s celebration has be seen in Black artistry. “Our music, movies, poems and art convey colorful and vibrant images of a people dealing with the joys and pains of life, with a distinct undertone that permeates throughout it all.” IT2 Sakita Trammell performed “What if I’m a Black Woman,” an anonymous poem about the struggles and strengths of being an African American woman. YN2 Aaron Novitsky, audience member, spoke on the impact of the poem. “I thought it was powerful and moving,” Novitsky said. “She had a lot of passion, I liked her outfit, it was colorful and put the whole performance together.” Today was the finale of the Black History Month celebration events scheduled at NSA Naples. For more information on MCHC events or to join, call IS2 Jarett Andrews-Schiro at DSN 626-3055.

Allied Joint Force Command Naples Commander Speaks to Italian Air Force Academy Cadets From Allied Joint Force Command Public Affairs

U.S. Navy Adm. Mark Ferguson, Commander Allied Joint Force Command Naples (JFCN) and Commander U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa gave a lecture on leadership in the conference room of the Italian Air Force Academy Feb. 23rd. Monday’s visit was the Admiral’s second (and much appreciated) time at the Pozzuoli Academy following the visit he made only a few months ago, soon after his assignment to the prestiguous NATO position. Upon his arrival, Adm. Ferguson was welcomed by Lt. Gen. Fernando Giancotti. While introducing his guest to the Academy students, Lt. Gen. Giancotti stressed the importance of the integrated training approach now in use at the Academy where theory merges with hands-on experience so as to provide the cadets with the tools they will need in their highly committing jobs. In his remarks, Adm. Ferguson explained what leadership means in complex environments marked by rapid technological changes and a growing number of areas of instability and crisis.

Tips to Prevent Heater-Related Fires By Don Warnick NSA Fire Inspector

The Naples area has experienced some unseasonably cold weather this year, and many residents are undoubtedly using additional methods to stay warm, such as the use of space heaters and fireplaces. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) notes that heating equipment is a leading cause of home fire deaths, and that half of home heating equipment fires are reported during the months of December, January, and February. Per the NFPA, here are some simple steps to help prevent most heating-related fires from happening. • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove, or portable space heater. • Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters. • Never use your oven to heat your home. • Have a qualified professional install stationary space heating equipment, water heaters or central heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions. • Have heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected every year by a qualified professional. • Remember to turn portable heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed. • Always use the right kind of fuel, specified by the manufacturer, for fuel burning space heaters. • Make sure the fireplace has a sturdy screen to stop sparks from flying into the room. Ashes should be cool before putting them in a metal container. Keep the container a safe distance away from your home. • Test smoke alarms monthly. Should you have any questions about home heating safety, or other fire safety questions, please contact your local Fire Prevention office; Support Site at 629-4488/4999, or Capodichino at 626-6626.

Hailing from Houston, Texas, he has served in the U.S. Navy for four years and devotes his limited spare time to the USO and the C6F Color Guard.
