A new center designed to enhance cooperation among organizations held a September 5, 2017, ceremony at Allied Joint Force Command Naples to mark the NATO Strategic

Direction South Hub’s opening.

“Fifty years after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization opened the doors on the Brussels headquarters, the Alliance today faces a dynamic security environment,” U.S. Navy Adm. Michelle Howard, com-

mander of JFC Naples, said to the ceremony crowd. “The change has led us to the Hub, a new facility to enhance our understanding of the Middle East and North Africa.”

A Royal Taste of Scotland at Edinburgh Tattoo

By Lou Freed

Given my limited travel time, there was a compelling reason to justify my return summer visit to Edinburgh, beautiful capital of Scotland. Two years ago, I was massively impressed by the magical sight and sound of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, prompting me to once again see the show

held each August as part of the Edinburgh Festival.

The word “Tattoo” may bring to mind artistic designs on bodies. However, Edinburgh’s event originates from the Flemish word, “doe den tap toe” (turn off the taps), the innkeepers’ closing call when, in the olden days, SCOTTISH TATTOO

Mattis, Dunford Brief President on Military Options to Deal With North Korea

By Cheryl Pellerin DoD News

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, standing in front of the White House on September 3 after the latest and largest nuclear test carried out by North Korea, said the United States has many military options for dealing with Kim Jong Un’s provocations and that President Donald J. Trump wanted to be briefed on each one.

Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, joined Mattis for his announcement.

At about 11:30 p.m. EDT Saturday night, the U.S. Geological Survey‘s Earthquake Hazards Program detected a magnitude 6.3 explosion, about 13 miles east-northeast of Sungjibaegam, North Korea, located near the site where North Korea has detonated nuclear explosions in the past, according to a USGS statement.

Other institutions and organizations specializing in seismic detection also reported the explosion and resulting seismic signature.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Todd Abrahamson NSA Naples Commanding Officer

I hope everyone had a fantastic Labor Day weekend, it was much deserved! Last week’s Command Assessment for Readiness Training (CART) inspection went great and I’m very proud of all involved. NSA Naples scored eight points higher than the fleet-wide average overall, and individual watch standers scored in the upper nineties across the board on post checks, level of knowledge exams, and other tests. This is exceptional, especially considering how rigorous and challenging this inspection is. Our security, emergency management, and fire department watch standers deserve a hearty Bravo Zulu!

Thanks also to all of our tenant commands for your support and cooperation during the drills. Our community’s ability to prioritize security as an all hands effort is why we are able to uphold such high standards.

This week you may have seen a display in the piazza on Capodichino for Suicide Prevention/Awareness month. In addition to displays like this, September includes the “30 Days of Small Acts” campaign. This campaign is focused on encouraging daily healthy habits to fight stress and be there for your shipmates. We’ve shared this on the NSA Naples Facebook page and I encourage everyone to take a look. As always, if you ever need to talk to someone, our chaplains and Fleet and Family Support staff are standing by at DSN 629-4600 and 629-6372 respectively. The suicide hotline can also be reached internationally at +99 001 800 2738255.

Coming up next week is our last Town Hall of fiscal year 2017, and my first as CO. My team and I are very excited at this opportunity to address the community about important issues. We will have representatives from several departments present, including Security, Housing, Public Works, the Veterinary Clinic, and the Naval Hospital. Each department will present information on new projects and updates that are important for everyone’s awareness. The event will take place on Tuesday, September 12th, and will begin at 6 p.m. in the movie theater on Support Site. I highly encourage you to stop by, listen to what our team has to put out, and ask questions that are on your minds. We will also be broadcasting live on AFN for those who cannot be present.

As always, thanks for reading the Panorama, the #1 newspaper in the Navy according to the Navy’s 2016 Russell Egnor Media Awards! For more information about NSA Naples, please follow us on Twitter and Facebook @NSA_Naples and facebook.com/NSANaples/ Buon fine settimana – and remain vigilant.

HISTORY: STAR SPANGLED BANNER From the National Park Service

On September 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key, wrote the words of a short poem that eventually become the lyrics to our nation’s national anthem.

Key wrote his poem in 1814, in the last year of the War of 1812.

The United States had declared war on Great Britain in June 1812. At first, the British were too busy fighting the French to devote much energy to the pesky Americans. Once Napoleon abdicated in April 1814, the British set out to teach their former colonies a lesson.

In August 1814, 50 British warships sailed up the Chesapeake Bay. After occupying Washington, D.C., on August 24, the British burned the Capitol, the White House, and other public buildings. Then they turned their attention northward toward Baltimore.

Fort McHenry, the starshaped fortress which guards the entrance to Baltimore Harbor, was all that stood between the mighty British navy and the city of Baltimore.

Key, a successful lawyer and amateur poet, from Georgetown, in Washington, D.C., was on board the 80-gun British warship HMS Tonnant to help negotiate the release of American prisoners near the end of the War of 1812.

Unknown to Key and his comrades, the

British were about to attack Fort McHenry.

The Americans were detained onboard the Tonnant, because the British feared if they were released, they would be able to report back to the American forces about their strength, position and intent to attack the fort.

Unable to leave the British warship, Key – who had been opposed to the war – stood by helplessly as the British rained shot and shell on the fort. He found he cared very much about the outcome. The bombardment had lasted for more than 24 hours. At dawn, Key strained to see through the morning mist. What he saw was a huge American flag flying over the fort. Joyfully, Key reported to the prisoners below deck that Fort McHenry had survived the attack.

Overcome by “joyful triumph” Key began to jot words down on a piece of paper: “O say can you see . . . .”

With Fort McHenry standing strong, the British Navy sailed away, to the cheers of the defenders. For many Americans, the War of 1812 had become a “Second War of Independence.”

More than a century after its first publication, the song was adopted as the American national anthem, first by an executive order from President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and then by a Congressional resolution in 1931, signed by President Herbert Hoover.

O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, “ What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming; And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

”

SPOTLIGHT: LT MICHAEL DEFAZIO Lt. Michael DeFazio reported to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples as a general dentist in September 2016. He grew up in Sacramento, California, and graduated cum laude from University of California, Davis with a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and a minor in Italian.

While studying at UC Davis he completed a semester abroad in Italian language immersion in Siena, Tuscany. He received his D.D.S. from University of Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry on a U.S. Navy Health Professions Scholarship Program (HPSP), graduating magna cum laude and receiving the Dean’s Award for high scholarship.

After dental school, he spent one year at Federal Healthcare Center Great Lakes and completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. DeFazio was then stationed onboard the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) where he completed a nineand-a-half month Western Pacific (WESTPAC) deployment.

DeFazio lives in Vomero with his wife, Jessie, a Red Cross Volunteer Pediatric Dentist. Both avid runners, DeFazio and Jessie are training for the Rome Marathon, and hope to eventually compete in the original Athens Marathon.

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.

5 FLEET AND FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER EVENTS THIS WEEK September 8, 2017

JFC RIBBON CUTTING FOR HUB

From page 1

The NSD-S Hub, under the roof and lead of JFC Naples, is designed to focus on a variety of current and potential issues to include destabilization, potential terrorism, radicalization, migration and environmental concerns. A role of the new center is also to coordinate and work alongside agencies outside of the NATO and national military structures as they concentrate on southern regions to include the Middle East, North Africa and Sahel, sub-Saharan Africa and adjacent areas, waters and airspace.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced the decision to create the Hub in mid-February of this year.

Hub officials say the center’s opening provides the crucial beginning step for its staff, which is developing relationships with potential partners to ensure the eventual production of useful product and analysis.

Howard echoed the importance of starting off with interested and invested stakeholders.

“The first order of business is seeking out people and organizations that live or operate in the south,” Howard said.

Some of the partners the NSD-S Hub hopes to connect with include actors such as regional development and crisis handling experts, academics and non-governmental organizations.

Alejandro Alvargonzalez, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, highlighted the regular political dialogue and practical cooperation over the past years NATO has held with Mediterranean Dialogue countries and Arab Gulf states in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative.

At the ceremony, Alvargonzalez also highlighted NATO’s ability to successfully build a new culture of cooperation in the security field with 12 regional partner countries.

“These partners are adopting NATO standards and promoting interoperability with the Alliance, while modernizing their defense and security sectors,” Alvargonzalez said. “They all

are asking NATO for more cooperation and more assistance in the defence and security fields.”

It’s the strengthened cooperation and twoway dialogue that Alvargonzalez said will benefit the Hub’s experts and stakeholders from NATO and non-NATO partners. He said these groups will include international organizations that NATO is already working together with, such as the United Nations, European Union, the Arab League and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Howard pointed out that although the more recognized articles of the 1949 Washington Treaty speak to the idea of collective self-defense in NATO, it’s Article 2 that sets the existence for a Hub. “The parties will contribute toward the further development of peaceful and friendly international relations by strengthening their free institutions, by bringing about a better understanding of the principles upon which these institutions are founded, and by promoting conditions of stability and wellbeing,” states the first sentence of the treaty’s Article 2.

NATO’s experience with partnering is something Howard thinks will assist the Hub with its efforts. ”As we are an alliance, it is abundantly clear that we know the value of teaming, and the Hub must work in concert with friends and partners,” Howard said. “We have the chance to form a community to share expertise and experience, exchange information and take the path to a better future.”

The NSD-S Hub is slated to reach full capability by the end of this year, and French Air Force Colonel Eric Asselin, deputy director and acting director of the Hub, said the ribbon cutting was the first step following months of preparation to establish the center.

“Now we have to get to work,” Asselin said.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Energy Tips for the Changing Seasons From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

As the fall and winter seasons approach the temperature outside will begin to drop and we can use this to our advantage and use our AC less by opening the windows at night and letting the cool air cool our homes for us. Heating and cooling systems make up approximately 48 percent of the average household’s utility bill.

Here are some easy tips to consider when striving to save energy and lower your utility bills: ● Set your programmable thermostat as low as is comfortable in the winter and lower the set point when you’re sleeping or away from home. ● Clean or replace filters on furnaces once a month or as recommended. ● Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they’re not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or drapes. ● Place heat-resistant radiator reflectors between exterior walls and the radiators. ● Turn off kitchen, bath, and other exhaust fans within 20 minutes after you are done cooking or bathing; when replacing exhaust fans, consider installing highefficiency, low-noise models. ● During winter, keep the draperies and shades on your south-facing windows open during the day to allow the sunlight to enter your home and closed at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.

But wait what about our offices? Easy, if your air conditioning in your office or work space is too cold or too hot, please contact your buildings Maintenance Service Representative and or your Building Energy Monitor and ask to call PWD trouble desk or Energy Office at DSN 626-4027 to change the settings. By doing this we can prevent over cooling and over usage of the energy we have.

SOUND OFF: WHERE WERE YOU ON 9/11?

Lt. Justine Casciani “I was in my 10th grade Spanish class. We turned on the T.V. after an announcement and watched one of the towers collapse.”

NORTH KOREAN MISSILE TEST

FC1 Avery Wilson “I was in 9th grade health class in Portsmouth, Virginia, at I. C. Norcom High School. When the teacher turned on the T.V. it shocked us all.”

From page 1

The Korean Central News Agency announced that North Korean scientists had carried out a test in the country’s northern nuclear test ground of a hydrogen bomb built to sit on top of an intercontinental ballistic missile, describing the device as a two-stage thermonuclear weapon.

Media reports say that the test was the most powerful of the six, but there is no official measurement yet of the force of the hydrogen weapon.

Ironclad Commitment In his remarks, Mattis said they had made clear to the president that the United States has the ability to defend itself and its allies – South Korea and Japan – from any attack.

“Our commitments among the allies are ironclad,” the secretary added. “Any threat to the United States or its territories, including [the U.S. territory of] Guam or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming.”

This nuclear test was North Korea’s sixth since 2006.

The weapon tested last night was a fusion bomb, also called a hydrogen bomb or thermonuclear weapon. Fission weapons, such as those that fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II, are sometimes called atomic bombs.

In a hydrogen bomb, according to a 2012 paper

by Martin E. Hellman, a Stanford University professor, a primary element is an implosion fission weapon that is used to ignite the secondary fusion reaction.

eral organization whose mission is to detect and report technical data from foreign nuclear explosions. The center operates and maintains a 3,600sensor global network of nuclear event detection equipment called the U.S. Atomic Energy Detection Systems, the largest sensor network in the Air Force.

Once a disturbance is detected underground, underwater, in the atmosphere or in space, the event is analyzed for nuclear identification, and the findings are reported to national command authorities.

Unified Voice This afternoon, Mattis said that Kim Jong Un should take heed of the United Nations Security Council‘s unified voice.

“All members unanimously agreed on the threat North Korea poses, and they remain unanimous in their commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,” he said.

“We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea. But as I said, we have many options to do so,” Mattis added.

The U.N. Security Council announced that it will have a meeting about the nuclear test tomorrow morning.

SCOTTISH TATTOO

From page 1

the local regiment’s fifes and drums marched through the streets signaling the soldiers to return to barracks.

Since its inception in1950, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo has annually brought thousands of spectators to experience thunderous marching band music, colorful military regalia, seamless teamwork, precision display, delightful dancers, spectacular pomp and ceremony on the esplanade of the imposing 12th century Edinburgh Castle, which is perched on an extinct volcano. Organizers describe the event as the “best show on earth” or close to it.

“A Splash of Tartan” was the 2017 theme featuring the world renowned Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines, the Queen’s Color Squadron and the Band of the Royal Air Force Regiment.

And, in keeping with the show’s international gusto, there were foreign military musical groups such as the U.S. Naval Forces Europe Band; the Indian Naval Band celebrating India’s 70th year of independence; the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force Band; the Fanfare Band of the 9th French Marine Infantry Brigade as well as the Shetland Fiddlers.

The Tattoo Highland Dancers provided grace and rhythm in their massed dancing, displaying versatility as they supported the international groups. Flawlessly, the dancers switched from Traditional High-

land to Sailor’s Hornpipe then from Ballet to Bollywood routines.

As tradition goes, capping off the event were the Massed Pipers and Drummers, the audience singing “Auld Lang Syne,” booming fireworks, and the Lone Piper on the Edinburgh Castle battlements.

This event should definitely be in anyone’s “bucket list.” Should you plan you to experience this sell-out event, see details at https://www.edintattoo.co.uk/ As a European destination, Edinburgh is worth exploring. It is known for William Wallace (“Brave Heart” hero), Robert Burns, the Palace of the Holyroodhouse and the Queen’s official residence in Scotland, among others. Savoring haggis, the national dish made with lamb meat and entrails, is a treat along with the whisky distillery tours. Expect rain anytime in Scotland even in the middle of summer, so pack a raincoat.

I chose a day trip to the Scottish Highlands (which I missed last time) to wrap up my second visit to the country. Beloved by hikers, cyclists and nature lovers, the region sports verdant glens or valleys, breathtaking lochs and majestic mountains. Irresistible was the one-hour boat ride on the expansive Loch Ness, where tourists hope to glimpse the legendary monster on site. There was no trace of it this time round, but then again, this could be my next reason for another return visit to Scotland.

Dunford Attends Scottish Tattoo, Discusses Defense Topics With U.K. Leaders

By Jim Garamone DoD News

Marine Corps Gen. Joe Dunford used his invite to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Scotland to visit British bases in the area and speak with senior United Kingdom defense leaders on a wide range of defense topics last week.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was invited months ago by his U.K. counterpart, British Chief of Defense Staff Air Chief Marshal Stuart Peach, to visit the tattoo and take the salute from the British units participating in the event.

“I didn’t realize how big the tattoo was when I accepted,” Dunford said during an interview on a flight back to Washington. “I learned.”

The tattoo ceremony is held at the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle the month of August, and more than 210,000 attend the event with about 100 million viewing the event on TV,

according to news reports.

Earlier in the day, Dunford met with British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon and Peach to discuss a full range of issues from the South Asia strategy to the situation in East Asia – specifically North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.

“Both from my trip and the [positive] rhetoric that is coming out of Beijing is that the economic and political pressure is having an effect,” Dunford said. “It remains to be seen if the campaign will be successful, but there are indications that things are heading in the right direction.”

Chinese officials told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that if he launched a missile toward Guam, he was on his own. China surprised the world by voting for sanctions against North Korea in the U.N. Security Council and now appears to be enforcing those sanctions, Dunford said.

Still, it is “much too early,” he said. “You can’t measure en-

forcement sanctions in weeks, but again the rhetoric has been positive from Beijing.”

Dunford also discussed opportunities for continued militaryto-military engagement between the United States and the U.K. “We obviously have a very strong relationship with the U.K., and they are with us in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Dunford said.

The chairman received positive feedback from the British leaders on the new strategy for South Asia announced earlier this week.

“It is fair to say that all of the nations that are currently contributing to the Resolute Support Mission, and certainly all of the nations who have been there since the very beginning like the U.K., … have received the strategy well,” Dunford said.

Coalition allies tell Dunford they believe the conditionsbased approach is the right approach, “and that it will allow us all to have a longer-term horizon to assure our Afghan

partners of our continuing support,” he said.

The strategy helps Afghan President Ashraf Ghani with his four-year plan to deal with corruption issues and economic development. “Instead of a oneyear-at-a-time campaign, we can start to take a longer term approach and have confidence that the resources necessary to implement this longer term approach will be there,” the chairman said.

In addition to the British allies, Dunford spoke with other

NATO allies, the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Czech Gen. Petr Pavel and other close partners. He noted that Army Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, Eucom's commander and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, has also spoken to allies, as has Army Gen. Joe Votel, the U.S. Central Command chief.

“We’ve touched a lot of people this week and there has been universal support for the approach we are taking,” the chairman said.

CNIC Encourages Sailors, Families to Prepare for Emergencies From Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

September is National Emergency Preparedness Month. Commander, Navy Installations Command’s (CNIC) Ready Navy Program educates Sailors and their families on how to be prepared when an emergency occurs. This year’s overall theme is “Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can.” Each week in September will have a focused theme: Make a Plan for Yourself, Family and Friends; Plan to Help Your Neighbor and Community; Practice and Build Out Your Plans; and Get Involved! Be a Part of Something Larger.

“National Preparedness Month educates us all to be informed, make a plan, build a kit, and stay informed, not just for a month, but every day,” Jeff Sanford, CNIC emergency management specialist, said. “Ready Navy provides a road map and creates a state of mind for Navy personnel and families to be and stay prepared for any potential hazard throughout the year something leadership takes very seriously.”

Ready Navy is a proactive Navy-wide emergency preparedness, public awareness program. It is designed for the Navy community, to increase the ability of every person and family on or near Navy installations to meet today’s challenges head on and plan and prepare for all types of hazards, ranging from hurricanes and earthquakes to terrorist at-

tacks. By exploring the links on the Ready Navy site, you will: ● Be informed of potential hazards and what to do before, during, and after an emergency, ● Understand the steps to make an emergency plan that includes what to do, where to go, and what to take with you, ● Learn to build a kit to support basic needs for a minimum of three days, and ● Access tools and resources to help you and your family prepare for emergency situations that could arise at any time with no warning.

Navy Personnel and families are strongly encouraged to strengthen emergency planning at home, as well as at work, by reading and following the tips and information found at www.Ready.Navy.mil.

Where Do Fall Leaf Colors Come From?

From the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources

Leaf color comes from pigments. Pigments are natural substances produced by leaf cells. The three pigments that color leaves are: ● Chlorophyll (green) ● Carotenoid (yellow, orange and brown) ● Anthocyanin (red) Chlorophyll is the most important of the three. Without the chlorophyll in leaves, trees wouldn’t be able to use sunlight to produce food.

Carotenoids create bright yellows and oranges in familiar fruits and vegetables. Corn, carrots, and bananas are just a few of the many plants colored by carotenoid.

Anthocyanins add the color red to plants, including cranberries, red apples, cherries, strawberries and others.

Chlorophyll and carotenoid are in leaf cells all the time during the growing season. But the chlorophyll covers the carotenoid – that’s why summer leaves are green, not yellow or orange. Most anthocyanins are produced only in autumn, and only under certain conditions. Not all trees can make anthocyanin.

How do leaves change color?

As the Earth makes its 365-day journey around the sun, some parts of the planet will get fewer hours of sunlight at certain times of the year. In those regions, the days become shorter and the nights get longer. The temperature slowly drops.

Autumn comes, and then winter.

Trees respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight by producing less and less chlorophyll. Eventually, a tree stops producing chlorophyll. When that happens, the carotenoid already in the leaves can finally show through. The leaves become a bright rainbow of glowing yellows, sparkling oranges, warm browns and, in some trees, brilliant reds.

Why do leaves fall?

A tree’s roots, branches and twigs can endure freezing temperatures, but most leaves are not so tough. On a broadleaf tree – say a maple or a birch – the tender thin leaves, made up of cells filled with water sap, will freeze in winter.

Any plant tissue unable to live through the winter must be sealed off and shed to ensure the tree’s survival.

As sunlight decreases in autumn, the veins that carry sap into and out of a leaf gradually close. A layer of cells, called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem. When this layer is complete, the leaf is separated from the tissue that connected it to the branch, and it falls.

Oak leaves are the exception. The separation layer never fully detaches the dead oak leaves, and they remain on the tree through winter.

On the ground, fallen leaves are broken down by bacteria, fungi, earthworms and other organisms. The decomposed leaves restock the soil with nutrients, and become part of the spongy humus layer on the forest floor that absorbs and holds rainfall. In nature, nothing goes to waste.
