Small Acts Can Save Lives: Navy Observes Suicide Prevention Month From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

While September is Suicide Prevention Month, subject matter experts from the 21st Century Sailor Office’s Suicide Prevention Office, OPNAV N171, say their goal isn’t to prevent suicide on just a single day or month, but every day of the year.

“Every life is precious, and the fight is year-round,” Capt. Mike Fisher, OPNAV N171 director, said. “We want people engaged with their shipmates every day of the year. We’re talking about being there for every Sailor, every day.”

This year, Suicide Prevention Month will focus on a new message with its Every

Sailor, Every Day campaign, “1 Small ACT.” The message promotes simple, everyday actions that can ultimately save lives, using Navy’s “ACT” (Ask Care Treat) bystander intervention model.

Last week, the Navy Suicide Prevention office released a toolkit to help Navy commands and Sailors engage in the fight to prevent suicide. This toolkit features educational resources, high-resolution graphics, and ideas for actions to take during September and year-round.

Also in the toolkit are engagement ideas to promote peer support, personal wellness and bystander intervention all year long. One way to get involved as an

individual or organization is to participate in the “1 Small ACT” Photo Gallery.

Participants can print the “1 Small ACT” sign directly from the toolkit or online, personalize it with their example of a small act that they can perform in a shipmate’s life, and then send a photo with the sign to suicideprevention@navy.mil.

What can EFMP do for me?

For families to accompany their active duty service member overseas each family member fills out a comprehensive overseas medical screening.

This screening was developed to assure family members with special needs would have access to the medical and educational care they need.

Living overseas far from family and familiar resources can be stressful. Overseas in the EURAFSWA region Military families have access to non-medical case management to assist in goal setting, needs assessments, coordinating providers and assisting with access to care.

Who needs to enroll?

Military dependents (enrolled in DEERS) who have chronic medical, dental, mental health, developmental and/ or educational conditions requiring special care services (excluding geographic bachelors and family members living in a residential care facility).

When a child is on an Individual Education Plan, Individual Family Service Plan or a Section 504 plan then the service member is required to complete the enrollment paperwork. If your family member has recently been diagnosed with an acute or chronic medical or mental health condition that is expected to last six months or longer then you are required to enroll in the EFMP program.

Submissions will also be accepted through the Real Warriors mobile app, which can be downloaded on the Apple App Store or Google Play.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

School is back in session, summer is coming to a close, and I’m looking forward to having fall weather for a change! In addition to having our kids resume their formal education and hit the books, the start of the new school year marks the beginning of many activities such as the fall High School sports season – Go Wildcats! – and other family events such as Spooktacular. The importance of education cannot be overstated; it enriches our cultural experience and improves our ability to achieve meaningful goals. Not just for our youth, but also for adults. I admire those who are taking advantage of the many undergraduate and graduate programs offered at NSA Naples and I applaud the time and effort you put into these classes – it is time well spent. Be sure to make the most of your educational opportunities, and if you have questions visit the Navy College Campus.

Now that the peak of PCS season is also drawing to a close, I would like to remind everyone, especially new community members, about our emergency management notification system - AtHoc. AtHoc is a software suite designed to ensure critical information is available to our community. Most recently, it was used to alert our community of the train attack outside of Paris. The system can send messages to cell phones, email addresses, and ONE-NET desktops. Active Duty and Civilian sponsors are required to sign up for the service, and I urge everyone else to sign up as well. You can register by contacting the emergency management officer at sean.quinn@eu.navy.mil.

From time to time, I get questions about the water quality on our installations. The water provided on Capodichino, Support Site, and Carney Park is safe to drink and tested regularly by my staff and professionals from the Naples USNH. More detailed information regarding the water quality on our installations is available in the drinking water consumer confidence report published July 7, 2015 at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnreurafswa/installations/nsa_naple s/om/environmental_support/drinking_water_consumer_confidence_re port.html. For water quality off base, the Naples Public Health Evaluation and health evaluation fact sheets have very good information and can be found at https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnreurafswa/installations/nsanaples/about/health_awareness.html.

Finally, just a little on social media. The use of social media throughout modern society has increased communication, enabled a greater sense of community, and revolutionized the accessibility of information. Unfortunately, social media is often used without much consideration for potential effects on personal image, careers, and security. A truism in many professional communities is “if you don’t want it to be on the front page, then do not put it online.” This is especially relevant to our community at NSA Naples. Please ensure you understand the privacy settings set on your devices or webpages, and think about what information you choose to share. Could a bad actor take advantage of that information? Play it safe and please report suspicious or malicious behavior.

Enjoy the long weekend, drive safe, and please take some time during the Labor Day holiday to think about the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

BASE NOTES Post Offices Require Electronic Customs Forms Starting Oct. 1 All mail entering and transiting the United States and European Union will require completed electronic customs forms for predeparture alerts beginning Oct. 1. The requirement that will impact all packages mailed at Navy Fleet Post Offices (FPO) located Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The new program will require customs form information for packages mailed from FPOs to be entered into the U.S. Customs and Border Protection database. Customers will benefit as tracking capabilities will be increased at each handoff and their mail can be tracked from origin to destination with additional updates in-between.

Filling out the customs forms online and bringing them to the post office saves time in line because it only requires the scanning of a barcode on the customs form. Customers without an electronic printed custom form can expect a lengthy wait (as can other customers in line) while their data is manually input into the point-of-sale retail terminal in the post office. Fleet post offices will provide head of the line privileges during lunch hours and high peak holiday mailing seasons to continue speedy service in the lobbies. Postal customers can complete their customs forms online at www.usps.com under the “E-Customs” when they click the link titled “Complete Customs Forms.” Online customs forms are also available under the Click-N-Ship option.

ITALIAN NEWS BRIEFS COMPILED BY TERESA MEROLA NSA NAPLES PUBLIC AFFAIRS

14th Pizzaiuolo World Championship Runs Through Sunday The 14th edition of the Pizzaiuolo World Championship which started September 1, at the Lungomare Caracciolo in Naples, will close at midnight on September 6.

The promenade has been transformed into the greatest pizzeria in the world. Fifty of Naples’ most renowned and historic pizzerias presented their spectacular pizza performances, workshops, music and shows.

The event runs from 6 p.m. to midnight, through Sunday.

Number of Abandoned Dogs Down from Last Year The number of dogs reported to authorities this summer has dropped by 33 percent compared with last year, said the Italian Association for the Defense of Animals and the Environment (Aidaa). According to reports from kennels monitored by the group, in the first 10 days of August, when many Italians go on vacation and when domestic pets are at risk of being abandoned, there was a total of 604 reports compared to 902 from last year.

The Puglia, Sicily regions reported the largest numbers of abandoned and stray dogs. Rome and Palermo were the worst with 54 and 48 respectively, while the cities with the fewest reports were Milan and Bologna, with 11 and 14.

Top Museums Hire New Directors Last year the Culture Minister Dario Franceschini called, for the first time in Italy, for an international recruitment drive to find managers with experience to lead some of the most prestigious museums. In August, the government announced that the top 20 museums had appointed new directors. The group is composed of 10 men and 10 women, in-

cluding three Germans, two Austrians, one Briton, one Frenchman and four Italians (who had returned from working abroad). In a move that wrests power away from the ministry of culture, the new directors will be given greater control of museum budgets.

Ancient Roman Games to be Played Again in Pompeii On September 19 and 20, the main roads of Pompeii will be the stage for gladiator “fights,” performances, music and banquets. The “Ludi,” was a weeks-long celebration of the games that were held annually in September starting around 366 B.C. Today, the “Ludi Pompeiani” will reenact not only gladiators, but also legionnaires, emperors, maids and senators in downtown Pompeii between Via Roma, Via Lepanto and Via Sacra.

Vacationing Andrea Bocelli Crashes Wedding Party An Italian businessman and his wife received a big surprise during their church wedding service. The world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli was passing the church while he was on holiday in the Ligurian village of Porto Venere, near the Cinque Terre. He found out about the wedding and sent his wife to speak to the guardian of the church to ask for permission to sing for the couple. Not knowing the wife, the church guardian, asked why her husband wanted to sing at a service that he had not been invited to. She said her husband was Andrea Bocelli and he wanted to sing as a gift to the newlyweds.

The surprised and delighted guardian said “yes.” At the end of the service, the newlyweds and their guests listened in stunned silence as Bocelli, who had been seated at the church’s organ, played and sang Schubert’s “Ave Maria.” When he was done, Bocelli left the church and resumed his holiday.

NAVY HISTORY: FIRST COMPUTER BUG IDENTIFIED

Lt. Grace Murray Hopper, Ph.D. in Mathematics from Yale and professor at Vassar College. She joined the Navy in 1943, and was assigned to the computation project as third in command becoming one of the first computer programmers. U.S. Navy photo From USS Grace Hopper (DDG 70)

On September 9, 1945, the first “computer bug” is first identified and named by Lt. Grace Murray Hopper while she was on Navy active duty in 1945. It was found in the Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator at Harvard University.

The operators affixed the moth to the computer log, where it still resides, with the entry: “First actual case of bug being found.” They “debugged” the computer, first introducing the term.

Hopper was born Grace Brewster Murray in 1906 in New York City. She was admitted to Vassar College at age 17, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa 1928 with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and physics.

In 1930 she received her master’s degree from Yale University, and also married New York University Professor Vincent Foster Hopper. A year later she began teaching mathematics at Vassar. In 1934, she earned a Ph.D. in mathematics from Yale, and in 1941 was promoted to associate professor.

In 1943, Hopper obtained a leave of absence from Vassar and was sworn in to the United States Navy Reserve to serve in the WAVES. She graduated first in her class in 1944, and was assigned to the Bureau of Ships Computation Project at Harvard University

as a lieutenant, junior grade, where she was assigned to the Bureau of Ordinance Computation Project. She became the third programmer of the world’s first large-scale computer called the Mark I. While trying to repair the Mark I she discovered a moth caught in a relay, which had shorted out a relay. When she removed the moth, she indicated in the logbook that she had “debugged” the computer, the first known reference to the now-familiar term.

Hopper retired from the Naval Reserve with the rank of commander at the end of 1966. She was recalled to active duty in August 1967 for a six-month period that turned into an indefinite assignment.

From 1967 to 1977, Hopper served as the director of the Navy Programming Languages Group in the Navy’s Office of Information Systems Planning and was promoted to the rank of captain in 1973. She developed validation software for COBOL and its compiler as part of a COBOL standardization program for the Navy. Hopper was promoted to commodore by special Presidential appointment in 1983. In 1985, the rank of commodore was renamed rear admiral, lower half. She retired (involuntarily) from the Navy on August 14, 1986. She was laid to rest with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetery in January

1992. Owing to the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, she is sometimes referred to as “Amazing Grace.”

In 1966, Hopper retired from the Naval Reserves, but was called back to active duty one year later. The navy wanted her to oversee a program to standardize its computer programs and their languages.

One of the programs she helped to develop was COBOL, an English-based programming language that was a huge leap forward in technology.

Hopper considered her greatest accomplishment to be all the young people she trained.

She spent a lot of time lecturing and writing. Many of her analogies and examples have become legendary. Hopper is responsible for “debugging” the computer. She coined the phrase after finding a moth inside a computer. She carried a one-foot piece of wire with her to represent a nanosecond, based on the fact that one foot is the distance that light can travel in one nanosecond. She used this as a way to explain why programmers should not waste time, not even a microsecond.

In honor of her accomplishments, the Navy decided to name a ship after her, the USS Hopper (DDG 70), an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. The ship was launched on Jan. 6, 1996, and was sponsored by Hopper’s sister Mary Murray Westcote.

She was commissioned on Sept. 1997, in San Francisco to be near Silicon Valley, in honor of the ship’s namesake.

Hopper is only the second ship to be named for a woman from the Navy’s own ranks.

The other was the World War II destroyer USS Higbee named for the Superintendent of the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps during World War I, Lenah Higbee.

SPOTLIGHT: HM3 DENZEL HARDISON-WRIGHT

HM3 Denzel Hardison-Wright is here to prove the biggest Dallas Cowboys fans don’t necessarily have to come from Texas. Born and raised in Camden, New Jersey, Hardison-Wright enlisted in the Navy two years after graduating high school in 2010.

One of the only two Respiratory Therapists at U.S Naval Hospital (USNH) Naples, he is assigned to the Anesthesia Department where he is responsible for assisting the Anesthesia providers during surgical cases and ensuring that all the Anesthesia equipment and supply are ready and properly stocked for each case.

He also conducts weekly pulmonary function tests for the Medical Home Port clinic, and is on a weeklong 24hour continuous on-call duty every other week to respond to any respiratory emergencies.

He is also a Basic Life Support instructor, a Departmental Training Representative, a member of the USNH Naples Healthcare to Health initiative to raise awareness on health and well-being, and is the Events Coordinator for the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decision that promotes a culture of “shipmates helping shipmates.”

A model of health and fitness, passionate about sports, his abilities can be observed on the field where he schools others in ultimate Frisbee. A mentor of the National Youth Coach Association, he is a baseball, football and dodgeball coach and for Department of Defense (DOD) students.

Hardison-Wright is a Board-Certified Respiratory Therapists and holds an associate’s degree in applied sciences. He intends to continue to take advantage of all the Navy educational opportunities in pursuit of a master’s degree in sports medicine with an ultimate goal of becoming a physical therapist for an NFL Team, even if it is not for the Dallas Cowboys.

ENERGY CONSERVATION A fast way to save Energy From the NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Do you want to know the fastest way to conserve energy, besides not using it at all? It is a simple change. Use LED lights. LEDs are six times more effective than the traditional incandescent light bulbs. Their effectiveness reduces energy consumption by 80 percent.

Although LEDs may cost slightly more than incandescent light bulbs, they have proven to last about 25 times longer and could save you more money over time.

The Solid State Lighting Program from the Department energy is continuously researching improvements to the LED manufacturing process to make purchasing LEDs more affordable for consumers.

The DOE’s goal is to have the entire country switched to LED lights by 2030. If successful this could save the United States $250 billion in energy cost each year.

BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY From NSA Public Affairs

Except for those living at the Support Site and Capodichino, bottled water is recommended.

Treated water is provided free of charge at a dispenser located outside the Capodichino east parking garage.

All economy leases negotiated through the Housing office have a bottle water clause, which requires the landlord to provide bottled water.

Work with landlords to have any water holding tanks disinfected twice a year, and ensure your tap water is disconnected from non-permitted wells and connected only to the city water system.

Worn-Out Warriors? ONR Looks at Importance of Sleep to Warfighters

By Warren Duffie Office of Naval Research Public Affairs

To discuss the impact of sleep deprivation on warfighters, and share ideas on how to make sleep more revitalizing, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the Department of Defense’s Human Performance Optimization Advisory Committee on Aug. 4 held a workshop titled the “Restorative Effects of Sleep.”

Americans are famously hard chargers who usually don’t get enough shut-eye.

That’s particularly true in military ranks, where operational tempo is fast paced and mission completion paramount. Sleep can become a casualty, and fatigue too often a reality.

“In the military, the mission comes first,” said Lt. Cmdr.

Chris Steele, ONR’s Circadian, Sleep and Fatigue program manager. Steele’s team supports research on the effects of sleep loss on warfighters-and ways to in-

crease physical and mental resiliency. “You aren’t always able to get as much sleep as you should. Our goal is to find ways to improve warfighter endurance and make the sleep they get as restful as possible. After all, sleep has a direct impact on performance and mission readiness.”

Workshop speakers included Dr. Charles Czeisler, professor of sleep medicine at Harvard Medical School, and Dr. David Dinges, chief of the Division of Sleep and Chronobiology at the University of Pennsylvania. Both are responsible for groundbreaking research in human circadian (24 hour) rhythms and the physiological and behavioral effects of sleep deprivation.

“You have military people who are working 18-hour shifts or participating in night operations and training exercises lasting for hours,” said Czeisler. “Such a lack of sleep is harmful. We must emphasize how crucial sleep is to

health and performance.”

Workshop discussions covered topics such as the value of power naps, whether to split up warfighters’ sleep time over the course of a day, and if daytime sleep is as beneficial as nighttime sleep.

Presenters also highlighted current sleep research endeavors, many of which are sponsored by ONR. These included the value of establishing fixed work-rest schedules, monitoring alertness with and without proper rest and the effects of caffeine during sleep loss.

“There’s also research sponsored by ONR targeting the newly discovered glymphatic system of the brain,” said Steele, who holds a doctorate in zoology. “That’s an internal plumbing system that may open during sleep, letting fluid flow through the brain, enabling it to flush out toxins that build up during waking hours. Essentially, sufficient sleep could literally clear your head.”

Besides its military focus,

Steele said he believes the conversations emerging from the workshop will benefit the greater public: “People are more aware of the importance of sleep than ever before. We’re all busier, more stressed and have a hard time disconnecting from our smart devices at night. All of that impacts the quantity

and quality of our sleep.”

Steele’s work aligns with the Naval S&T Strategy, which emphasizes health and resilience as key components of warfighter performance.

Last year, ONR hosted a focus area forum to discuss how science and technology can improve warfighter performance and resilience.

Service members and their families run through the mud during Naval Support Activity Naples Annual Mud Run, August 29 at Carney Park. The event was sponsored by NSA Naples Morale, Welfare, and Recreation.

2015 MWR Mud Run Story / Photos by MC2 Justin Stumburg

More than 575 participants signed-up and ran the Annual Mud Run hosted by Naval Support Activity Naples Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) at Carney Park, Aug. 29.

Service members and their families braved mud pits, wire crawls, tubes, slides and inflatable wall obstacles to complete the 5K course.

This year’s Annual Mud Run began with Zumba to help energize the runners and get their blood flowing. After a couple of songs, the countdown began and the participants tore their way through the course.

For runners like Intelligence Specialist 1st Class Kevin Pulley, assigned to Commander 6th Fleet, the MWR Mud Run was an opportunity to get out and have some fun with his family.

“I saw the Mud Run as a chance to bond with my wife and kids,” Pulley

said. “We thought it would be fun and new.”

Throughout his 14 years in the Navy, Pulley has run multiple 5K and 10K MWR races while deployed to various places like Djibouti, Africa and Manama, Bahrain. Although this was his first Mud Run, Pulley said the obstacles were well balanced for all ages and skill levels.

“Overall, I think the Mud Run was excellent,” Pulley said. “It’s good to see so many different groups coming out to build service brotherhood and camaraderie.”

Pulley said that it was a great way release stress and he plans on running it next year.

“It’s a great adventure that you’ve got to do anytime you can,” Pulley said.

MWR has more races planned including the “Color it Up” fun run and POW/MIA two-mile formation run. For more information on MWR programs in Naples, visit www.facebook.com/mwrnaples

Top September Events in Naples

By Lou Freed

The moment has arrived to look towards annual September happenings that pave the way for the fall season. And, to enhance this transition period, Naples’ event planners have blended new initiatives with traditions on this month’s calendar. Incidentally, don’t let the end of summer stop you from thinking about fall cruising.

This transition period is absolutely perfect with beautiful weather, no crowds and reduced sailing rates.

Each September in Naples, San Gennaro or St. Januarius, the city’s protector secures the spotlight for the miraculous liquefaction of the martyr’s blood September 19 or thereabouts. In anticipation of the event, the phenomenon, said to stave off disaster and protect the city, annually begets an array of activities including a makeshift Naples Pizza Village along the city’s waterfront. There, an army of chefs paint the town red with the city’s culinary symbol.

Also, Pozzuoli (where the saint was martyred) along with its Phlegrean Fields neighbors gets fired up to host myriad archeoenogastronomical events under the “Malazè” program.

New features on Naples’ calendar include the “Oriental Festival” at Mostra d’Oltremare or Naples’ Overseas Exhibition Center September 11-13 and September 18-20. Additionally, the NapolartExpo for local arts and crafts is scheduled September 5-27 along with the agri-ali-

mentation exhibition, MAGNA, through December 31.

Also take advantage of the free entry to state museums and archaeological sites September 6 following the July 2014 decree of Italian Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini. The directive provides free entry to these museums the first Sunday of each month. Visit http://www. beniculturali. it/domenicalmuseo to learn more.

For classical music fans, the San Carlo Theater will inaugurate its Symphonic Season September 12 with India native, Zubin Mehta rendering Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 Op. 36 and Symphony No. 6 Op. 74 “Patetica.” Visit http:// www.teatrosancarlo.it for details.

Beyond Naples, the annual Grape Fest with a float parade in Solopaca returns September 13. Although the town’s event coincides with Naples’ pre-San Gennaro Feast Day celebrations, there’s no relationship between the two sites’ initiatives.

Something the town has in common with San Gennaro though, is that the saint was born in Benevento, Solopaca’s province. Each year, floats are constructed using thousands (millions?) of grapes to celebrate the month of the grape harvest. View the event poster at https://www.facebook.com/ prolocosolopaca San Gennaro Fest To commemorate Naples’ beloved patron saint, a morning Mass is scheduled at Naples

Cathedral as well as at the saint’s cozy namesake church in Pozzuoli September 19. Town residents believe the hill topped by a cross above San Gennaro Church was the site where Romans decapitated the good bishop of Benevento. Others speculate the martyrdom took place right where the church now stands.

Customarily, brightly colored light arches adorn the Pozzuoli church a few days leading up to the celebrations. Festivities usually feature a musical show, fireworks plus a procession of the saint’s bust with Franciscan priests and a band. For queries, call the church at 081-526-1114.

Naples Pizza Village Set against the Bay of Naples, the village and its 50 pizzaioli are on a mission to satiate appetites for the unique pie with thick sides and a soft center, a hard-to-find type stateside.

Savor a Pizza Margherita or Marinara in the “world’s largest and most spectacular pizzeria,” where chefs also love to entertain visitors with their stretched dough throwing skill.

Parking at the venue is challenging, so consider public transport as an alternative.

Open through September 6, 6 p.m. to midnight. Visit http://www.pizzavillage.it/ for more details Phlegrean Fields’ Malazè For the zone’s enchanting bay views, intriguing volcanic craters, archaeological sites and myths as well as relaxing ther-

mal springs and scrumptious seafood and wines, wealthy Romans built villas in the area.

Remains of these luxurious villas can still be seen around, especially in the Baths of Baia.

Eighteenth century “Grand Tour” royals, celebrities and artists followed in the wake of the ancients to experience the area’s reputation for pleasurable sights, sounds and flavors.

With such a rich heritage around, event organizers invite all to soak in the great attractions of Pozzuoli (a fishing town and home to the Solfatara volcano), Bacoli, Baia, Monte di Procida, Fusaro and Quarto.

The program, coined from a local term meaning “fisherman’s warehouse,” annually assembles local tourism officials, dozens of associations, businesses, restaurateurs and wine producers to create a 10-day program packed with a variety of archaeological and enogastronomical events at different locales posted at http:// www.malaze.it/ (then link to the calendar’s English version).

Mark the events but hurry since it ends September 15.

Oriental Festival This event will premiere in Naples with a number of weekend activities September 11-13 and September 18-20. Visitors will be immersed in the cultures and traditions of India, China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea and more. Themed areas for the countries will blend photography exhibitions, bazaars, typical gastronomy, folklore shows and natural medicines besides others.

Highlighting the event will be India’s ancient “Holi Festival” dedicated to color, fun and love slated September 12 and 19.

Mostra d’Oltremare is near the Campi Flegrei station and the Naples soccer stadium. Paid parking is available. Visit http://festivaldelloriente.net/ for more details.

NapolartExpo Picturesque Neapolitan squares and streets will serve as venues for this art exhibition of Neapolitan arts and crafts.

Some 15 artists will display various kinds of painting, oils, watercolors, spatula, mixed media, painting on fabric, basrelief sculptures of historic

buildings and balconies, glimpses of Neapolitan streets, miniature cribs and figures, inlaid wood creations, ceramic work and photographs of Neapolitan cityscape.

Exhibition dates and locations are as follows: Tomorrow and Sunday, via Luca Giordano (Vomero); September 12-13 Largo Enrico Berlinguer; September 19-20 via Cesario Console and ultimately, September 26-27 Piazza San Domenico Maggiore. Exhibition hours are 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Visit http://www.napolarte.it for more details.

MAGNA Exhibition Mostra Agroalimentare Napoletana, a collective effort among Campanian universities and research laboratories, is an interactive exhibition on how humans have changed the nature of food through cultivation, preservation and cooking.

Three rooms house leitmotif documents on the history of the world’s largest kitchen, current Neapolitan cuisine and Neapolitan cuisine’s aroma.

The display assembles infographic multimedia, photographs, ancient texts, videos and curiosities to recount Neapolitan cuisine. Also on view are holograms and virtual actors leading visitors to discover and learn.

Exhibition is in the San Domenico Maggiore Convent in Naples’ historic district through December 31. Visit http://www.comune. napoli.it/ , link to “Napoli per Expo” then to MAGNA for more information.

DAILY TOURS

History of Labor Day From the U.S. Department of Labor

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation.

The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states – Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York – created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit.

By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in Septem-

ber of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

Who First Proposed Labor Day? More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those “Who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

But Peter McGuire’s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged.

Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic

Emergency Preparedness Vital to Defense Readiness

By Terri Moon Cronk DoD News

September is National Preparedness Month, and while preparedness calls for year-round attention, it is a good opportunity to remind Defense Department personnel and their families to be prepared at all times to respond quickly to disasters and emergencies. This year’s national preparation theme is, “Don’t Wait. Communicate.

Make Your Emergency Plan Today.”

Mission Readiness is Key “Preparedness is the shared responsibility of our entire nation,” Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work noted in an Aug. 21 DoD-wide memorandum. “Preparing individuals, families, components and installations for disasters and emergencies – from flooding to an active shooter – ensures the strength of our workforce and our ability to continue to safeguard U.S. security.”

What DoD Personnel Can Do DoD’s preparedness campaign encourages personnel and families to participate this month in three key ways: -- Take action: Know your hazards, create an emergency communications plan and build an emergency kit; -- Be counted: Have your organization complete the DoD survey at defense.gov/prepare, and register your action at ready.gov/prepare; and -- Spread the word: Tell others about your actions and encourage them to take part.

Staying Prepared at Work At work environment, employees must be aware of evacuation routes, shelters, and have a ready-to-go kit.

Staying Prepared at Home Families should prepare by keeping a kit with 72 hours’ worth of food, water, medications and up-to-date essentials, such as flashlight batteries. Your home kit should also be kept in an easy-to-access place.

Supplies and necessities should be ready to go in a moment’s notice for each family member and every pet at home.

Other often overlooked details to consider are having a full tank of gas for your car, and making advance plans for pet care is part of family preparedness, to keep them safe and secure, with plenty of food, water and medications as needed.

Finally, family preparedness planning should also include communicating with relatives, friends and the service member’s chain of command.
