runs a pizza-making school.“I was born in a pizzeria,” Albachiara said in

We’ve had a pretty eventfulweek here in Naples. Thanks toArmed Forces Entertainmentand Naples MWR for bringing inMark Wills and his band for anamazing concert Tuesday night.Thanks to all of our family pro-gram directors and local Om-budsmen for hosting the CNO’stwo Ombudsmen at Large, whotoured our facilities this week fora face-to-face view of NSANaples and our quality of lifeprograms. The Ombudsman atLarge program is critical to pro-vide a communication channel directly from our Ombudsmen,Sailors and their families straight to the CNO. They are our fam-ilies’ advocates, and their visit demonstrates the commitment oursenior leadership has to our Sailors and families.

Tonight is Spooktacular and I know a lot of parents and kids areeager to get those costumes on. With on-base trick or treating andSpooktacular happening the same night, there should be no lackfor candy. Child and Youth Programs, with the support of manyother organizations, have done an incredible job putting this eventtogether. In addition, I wish to express my deep thanks to thecountless volunteers who work together to make this a fun night.Whether it’s story tellers on the hayride, those working in thetrick or treating booths, or the many, many food vendors; theyhave earned our appreciation. Finally, I want to give a big shoutout to the Seabees who created a certifiably spooky haunted housefor all to enjoy. They’ve been operating the house of scream sinceWednesday and have some special scares saved up for the finaletonight. If you have small children, let the Seabee at the entranceknow and they will tone down the actors so everyone can enjoythe night.

The event starts tonight at 6 p.m. Trick or treating within Hous-ing will end at 9 p.m., and residents should be set up outside theapartments for the safety of our kids and to be courteous to ourneighbors. Spooktacular will go until 10 p.m. to include the games,music, movies, maze, and contests. There’s something for everyone.

In anticipation of the holidays, we are wrapping up the Fall/Win-ter Safety Stand Down cycle for our service members, civilians,and Italian employees. After looking over the training and intro-ducing our dedicated Safety team, I want to stress the importanceof everything they are sharing as the weather begins to changeand we enter the travel and holiday season. Traffic safety appliesto all vehicles, but there are extra considerations on motorcycles,scooters, bicycles and skateboards. Along with an increase inDUI’s, motorcycle safety had a negative impact on our communitylast year. In general, if you’re driving a vehicle, follow the speedlimits, don’t drink, put the cellphone down, and pay attention tosigns of fatigue. Recreational activities took some of our Sailorsaway from the workforce as well, so take a moment to think aboutsafety with each and every activity. Stretch out a bit before play-ing sports or working out and always wear the appropriate pro-tective equipment.

The fall weather means football season is about to get interest-ing. Get out and enjoy all that Italy and Europe have to offer, butbe safe.

world and it means everythingto us: happiness, joy and com-munity,” said Minieri. “We havethis festival because we want toshare our culture with theAmericans on this base.”

The WRA said this year’sPizza Fest was a success. Theybrought a little piece of Italy toSupport Site so service mem-bers and their families whomight not be able to make it todowntown Naples can stillenjoy the sensation of authenticItalian pizza and experience thetraditional Neapolitan pizzafest in their own backyard.

The biggest disaster threat tofamilies across our nationevery day isn’t floods or hurri-canes; it’s fire. Last year, theNaples American Red CrossDisaster Action Team re-sponded to 0 fires in the NaplesAmerican military community.Nationally, the Red Cross re-sponds to thousands of localfires, on average, each year.

History has taught us thatthe incidence of home fires gen-erally increase during the fall and winter months, and most com-monly occur on Saturdays and Sundays in the early evening.

During Fire Prevention Month, the American Red Cross is urgingresidents of the Naples American military community to take somesimple steps to help minimize the risk for this type of devastatingdisaster:• Install smoke alarms on every level of their home, inside bed-

rooms and outside of sleeping areas; check them monthly bypressing the test button.

• Create a fire escape plan identifying two escape routes fromevery room of your home and designate a meeting place a shortdistance from the home where family members can meet shouldthey be separated during a fire.

• Practice your escape plan at least twice a year, paying particu-lar attention to children or older adults who may require extratime and care.

For more information on how to minimize the risk of home fires,I encourage people to visit www.redcross.org/homefires.

About the American Red Cross:The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional

support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the na-tion's blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides internationalhumanitarian aid; and supports military members and their fam-ilies.

Annual Zombie Fun 5KRun Held at Carney ParkStory and photos by MC2 Jared King

Participating runners attempt to dodge a “zombie” vol-unteer while keeping their remaining flags.

Participants ran around Carney Park to try to earn the “Survivor” medals.

Naval Support Activity (NSA) Naples hosted a five kilo-meter (5K) Zombie Fun Run at Carney Park Oct. 25.

Thirty four volunteer “zombies” stalked the course,while many more contributed their skills as make-upartists for the zombie costumes.

The runners dodged zombies and overcame obstacleswhile guarding three lifelines (flags) attached to a flagbelt around their waists.

“The event was a lot of fun and everybody had a goodtime,” said Andrew Turner, a zombie volunteer. “The bestpart about volunteering is giving back to the community.Working together with the other volunteers is just a greatoverall way to spend my Saturday.”

The run participants received a Zombie Run T-shirt anda “Survivor” or “Infected” participation medal. A runnerhad to finish the run with at least one lifeline to receivethe “Survivor” participation medal, but it proved a diffi-cult task for many of the runners.

“My favorite part of the race was near the end when Iwas stuck at the entrance to the playground and I didn’tknow what to do when several zombies blocked my path,”said Keylee Soto, an “Infected” runner. “I had the misfor-tune of having my last flag pulled off at the playground,but it was hilarious watching everyone go crazy while at-tempting to run away from all of the zombies.”

Mercedes Umphress, MWR’s sports and fitness coordi-nator, organized this year’s event, which provided therunners with a spread out obstacle course increasing theamount of cardio.

“This isn’t just fitness with the children or families,” said

Umphress. “This fitness event is for any member of theNaples community, whether you’re a single Sailor or amember of the community period, this event is for you.”

There were zombie free zones for safety that allowedrunners to cool down during the run and also zombieswere instructed not to chase the runners past certainpoints due to debris or uneven grounds.

“Safety is our number one factor and I really hopeeveryone had a great time,” said Umphress. “I just feelgreat that this event was a success and we continuallymake this event better every year because my goal is tomake sure that our participation keeps growing andmore people want to come out.”

Just remember, for those participants who finished thesecond annual Zombie Fun Run “infected” there is al-ways next year.

According the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 U.S. womenwill develop invasive breast cancer over the course of herlifetime. A woman’s risk doubles if she has a first-degree rel-ative (mother, sister, or daughter) who has been diagnosedwith breast cancer and 15 percent of women who get breastcancer have a family history of the disease.

As important as family history is, the statistics imply that85 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer will haveno family history of the disease.

What can women do to fight these odds? Be proactive!First, start with regular breast self-exams. It is important

to become familiar with the way your breasts normally lookand feel. Knowing what is normal for you may help to iden-tify even small changes in your breasts. Second, in additionto self-exams, have your primary care provider perform anannual clinical breast exam. And finally, get a screeningmammogram. Routine screening mammography recommen-dations vary between professional organizations.

The American College of Radiology, American College ofObstetricians and Gynecologists and the American CancerSociety recommend screening mammography and clinicalbreast exams every year starting at the age of 40. Alterna-tively, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and Ameri-can Academy of Family Physicians recommend biennial(once every two years) screening mammography betweenthe ages of 50 and 74. Both organizations also recommendthat the decision to conduct screening mammography beforeage 50 should be individualized.

At U.S. Naval Hospital Naples, our guidelines for schedul-ing a mammography appointment have recently changed.Previously, patients always needed to schedule an appoint-ment with their Primary Care Manager (PCM) every yearand have an order placed for a mammogram. Now, as longas you have previously had a mammogram, you are eligiblefor self-referral and can call the Radiology Department toschedule your mammogram directly. If you have any breastconcerns, such as pain or feeling a lump, you must be seenby your PCM before the mammogram and cannot self-refer.

Screening mammography is the key to early detection andis effective in finding cancers that cannot yet be detected byphysical exams. Despite advancements in technology, mam-mography can miss some types of breast cancer, especiallythose in a very early stage. Early breast cancers can only beseen when the radiologist compares the current mammogramto previous exams. That’s why it is important for patients tohand-carry their mammograms and the reason the mammog-raphy technologist will always ask for previous films.

Many first-time mammogram patients ask, “Is it going tohurt?”

The truth is that there is no definitive answer, as everywoman is different, and each patient has certain fears anddoubts about the procedure. The exam may be slightly un-comfortable, but it should not be painful. As you are havingyour exam, remember that the mammography technologistis there to comfort you and answer any questions you mayhave.

Although breast cancer rates in men are significantly lowerthan in women, male breast cancer does exist. According tothe American Cancer Society, about 2,360 cases of invasivebreast cancer will be diagnosed this year in males and about430 men will die as a result. Since male breast cancer is rel-atively uncommon, most men ignore the signs, which are sim-ilar to those of breast cancer in women. The lack of awarenesscommonly leads men to ignore breast lumps and attributethem to an infection or some other cause. While most malebreast lumps are diagnosed as gynecomastia, a benign en-largement of breast tissue, males with any breast changesshould make an appointment with their PCM. Just as withwomen, early detection improves the chances that the breastcancer can be treated successfully.

Most facilities, including the Mammography Unit at USNHNaples, are digital. What does that mean for the patient?

1) Lower doses of radiation exposure; 2) Ease of transfer of mammogram images onto a disc for

patients to take to referral appointments or the next dutystation;

3) Better overall pictures for the radiologists to read. The hospital’s mammography program has met stringent

quality guidelines and has been certified by both the Amer-ican College of Radiology and the FDA.

Take an active role in your health and schedule an appoint-ment directly with the Radiology Department by callingDSN 629-6168, or commercially at 081-811-6168, or sched-ule an appointment with your primary care provider in theMedical Home Port Clinic at DSN 629-6000, or commer-cially at 081-811-6000. You can also send a secure messageusing Relay Health.

ANTONIO MOSCAYou may have noticedat the Commissary anemployee named Anto-nio Mosca. If you don'tknow him yet, you’vecertainly admired hiswork in the decorativespecial offers drawn ondry boards displayedthroughout the store.Behind all that, it is apassion for art thatMosca developed longago in elementaryschool. Ever since hehas sketched anddrawn everythingfalling into his handsor fantasy.

Mosca has worked in Naples since the age of seven trying to dothe best by balancing, his education which was interrupted at theage of 16 when his family moved to England. He returned to Italyto serve in the national service in the air force. His dream wasquickly curtailed by the requirement of having a high school de-gree which he did not have. Rather than feeling down and accept-ing his bad luck, Mosca chose to finish his studies during eveningclasses along with others who had the same dream postponed dueto World War II and its after-math.He is the only artist in his family but lately it appears his younggrandson picked up the talent and will bring some competitioninto the game.Mosca's skills are greatly appreciated by keen customers whosecomments and admiration are the most rewarding part of hiswork. He never put a price on his art but instead gladly respondsto special requests because he believes that money transformsboth the expectations of the customer and his own joy of express-ing a free style that is not necessarily perfect, but personal.

Engineers at Naval Ship SystemsEngineering Station (NAVSSES),Naval Surface Warfare CenterCarderock Division are harvestingweapon system components fromdecommissioned U.S. Navy frigates(FFGs) for re-use on Coast Guardcutters.

The harvesting of componentsfrom four decommissioned frigateswill result in more than $24 millionin cost avoidance, with more ex-pected from a fifth ship. The Navy'sleveraging of decommissionedships' assets shows a judicious useof resources and collaboration be-tween services.

"The Navy's FFGs will all be de-commissioned by the end of fiscalyear 2015, but the Coast Guardcutters have the same gunweapons systems," said AbeBoughner, with Auxiliary Ships/Ac-quisition Support Branch atNAVSSES.

The equipment includes MK 75,76mm/62 caliber gun mounts, aswell as gun control panels, barrels,launchers, junction boxes andother components. The CoastGuard can use all of this equip-ment on cutters during the courseof the ships' expected service life,which spans into the 2030s.

The harvesting effort began inDec. 2012 when Roger Raber ofNaval Sea System Command'sSurface Warfare Readiness Direc-torate proposed a plan to harvestequipment from five decommis-sioned FFGs docked at the Navy'sinactive ship maintenance facilityin Philadelphia. Raber coordinatedwith NAVSSES engineers E. AlanKarpovitch, the Navy's propulsion

program manager, and Ashley Fer-guson, mechanical engineer, tooversee the daily operations of re-moving items from the frigates. TheCoast Guard also provided a teamto assist with removal of compo-nents from the FFGs.

"If I get a request for a part andit's feasible for me to pull it off aship, I will," said Karpovitch."Many of the pieces of hardware onthese ships are still serviceable andcan be recycled."

Timothy Wallace, equipment spe-cialist with the Coast Guard Sur-face Forces Logistics Center(SFLC), provided a logistics assetrequest for the gun mounts in earlyfiscal year 2013. The gun mountswere deemed serviceable and aplan was enacted to remove themfrom the frigates. The SFLCworked in conjunction withStephen Remsey, the Navy's MK 75In-Service Engineering Agent, tocoordinate the transportation of thegun mounts to U.S. Coast Guard'sCurtis Bay Yard in Baltimore,Maryland.

"From the Coast Guard's stand-point the FFG harvesting has beena complete success," said Wallace."The final cost avoidance figure willnot be known until harvesting ofthe fifth FFG is complete."

Some of the MK 75 mounts will beplaced into the overhaul cycle at theCoast Guard Yard Ordnance Shopand returned to service onboard Fa-mous Class cutters. One mount isslated to support the Coast Guard'ssustainment program for parts nolonger manufactured or in shortsupply. Other components will alsobe placed in the overhaul cycle forlater return to service.

"This is the right thing to do," saidRaber. "I sleep well knowing that

we are outfitting the cutters withreliable equipment that is vital totheir mission."

The Surface Warfare Directoratemaintains more than 50 inactiveships for future disposal, donation,or transfer. It also provides follow-on technical support to more than150 active ships in more than 50partner navies and the U.S. CoastGuard.

The Ship Systems EngineeringStation, Philadelphia is a majorcomponent of Naval Surface War-fare Center Carderock Division. Itis the Navy's principal test andevaluation station and in-serviceengineering agent for all hull, me-chanical and electrical ship sys-tems and equipment and has thecapability to test and engineer thefull range of shipboard systems andequipment from full-scale propul-sion systems to digital controls andelectric power systems.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, and this year’s CNICtheme is Relationships should be Respectful, Safe and Positive. In 2013,9,000 of the 18,000 incidents reported to Family Advocacy Programs metDoD criteria for domestic abuse or intimate partner violence. Domestic vio-lence is essentially the imbalance of power and control in a relationship, inwhich one intimate partner purposefully threatens, intimidates, physically orsexually assaults another and can lead to long-term effects of low self-es-teem, trauma, physical injury and even death. In an eight-year review of homi-cides in the Navy, 54% were related to domestic violence. This year’s themeasks active duty, civilians and their families to think about how they keep theirrelationships violence-free by showing respect, safety and overall positiveattitude in their relationships and families.

There are several resources on our base to help keep Naples DoD familieshealthy and strong. We are offering a Couples Communication 101 class tosupport couples that want to improve their communication skills, build con-nection and learn how to handle conflict in a respectful and loving way. Also,Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) offers financial counseling and mar-ital counseling for couples that may need a specific type of support to helpkeep their relationships healthy. This year on AFN radio we announced achallenge, with the support of NSA leadership, for commands to tell us howthey keep their relationships respectful, safe and positive. Thank you to allwho participated and supported the effort to keep our community violencefree. We called it the Domestic Violence Awareness Purple Ribbon Challengeand here is what commands across our Naples installation had to say:

“I have found that no cou-ple no matter how good

the relationship orhow long theyhave been mar-ried is immuneto relationship

stress and diffi-culty. I like to think of my re-

lationship like an emotionalbank account. If my relationship hasmore withdrawals than deposits I knowI’m in danger of relationship bankruptcy.My wife and I work to be consistent anddeliberate about making time for datesand activities so that we can make thoseregular deposits to maintain relationshiphealth. Like anything a healthy relation-ship comes with time and effort.

1. Never let the sun set on anger or anargument. Ie; deal with the issue athand directly, and move forward fromthere together.

2. Never allow arguments to get "per-sonal", no insults or bringing up thingsthat hurt instead of solve.

3. ALWAYS remember that your relation-ship is a living, breathing thing. It re-quires love, patience, time and care inorder to survive and thrive.

4. And lastly, before things ever get tooheated, count to 10 and compose your-self. If needed, take a step back (figu-ratively or even literally).

Safe: We create emotional safetythrough building and maintaining trustin each other by letting each other knowwhere we're going and how long we'll begone, we don't dismiss or belittle eachother's feelings.Positive: We make each other's interests

a priority and encourage each other togrow as individuals, we give each otherthe benefit of the doubt, always try to re-member we are on the same team andthat's more important than being "right"on any given issue.

We also make "gratitude lists", espe-cially when we're feeling sorry for our-selves. We make a point to hold ontopositive feelings and experiences and wegently question each other's negativethinking. Healthy: We eat healthy, exercise, get

plenty of sleep, and we take responsibil-ity for our own physical and emotionaland spiritual health. We also set asidetime each day for non-doing; just being.

We try to not take things for grantedamong us and find ways to show eachother our gratitude and how much wecare. It can be small daily gestures sucha post it note, a hug or making breakfast.We pay attention to each other’s cues andknow when it's time to be patient, to havesome humor or to just be there.”

with compassion and honesty. It’s impor-tant not to speak to your spouse like youspeak to your child. Trying to keep the ro-mance alive by surprising one another andkeeping the relationship fun and sponta-neous helps keep it positive and healthy.Also, it’s important as a military spouse togive our support and for our spouses to re-ciprocate the respect and support for whatwe do; every decision is a team decisionand that’s even more important when youare a military family. Lastly, to keep therelationship safe, counting to ten when youare angry, or supporting your partnerwhen he/she is trying to de-stress preventsarguments from escalating.”

The Naples High School Italian Club’s purpose is to pro-mote Italian culture throughout the high school. The mostexciting and culturally invigorating activities hosted by theItalian club and supervisor Roberta Pennasilico are, by far,the cultural exchanges, or scambi culturali in Italian, be-tween our high school and Italian high schools in and aroundNaples.

Students from regular Italian language classes and fromthe Italian Club are paired together with Italian guests fora school day. The Italians follow their sponsor throughoutthe lessons in order to learn more about the American or Ital-ian school system and to be immersed in the language theyare studying.

The most recent cultural exchange was one of a kind. Twoclasses of about 20 students from the State Institute forHigher Education in Pomigliano d’Arco paid a special visitto our school for a few sessions of complete English immer-sion. Five of those students made a video about the implica-tions of the Italian Mafia in the Italian economy and two ofthe most famous magistrates who fought against organizedcrime and the Mafia in the late 20th century, Giovanni Fal-cone and Paolo Borsellino.

Falcone and Borsellino were both murdered by the Mafiain 1992, only a couple of months apart, after their historicfight against organized crime in Italy. They are consideredheroes by many people for their bravery and commitment tojustice and for fighting against the Mafia without fear of theconsequences.

The video was shown in Palermo, the death places of thetwo magistrates, and the FBI saw it. The FBI enjoyed theirvideo so much that the students were invited to tour thetraining academy in Quantico, Virginia. In preparation fortheir monumental visit to the United States, the studentsand their classmates participated in a series of after-schoolEnglish immersion sessions Oct. 20 - 23 at our school withthe Italian Club and some students from the Italian classes.

During their daily visits, Pennasilico created language ac-tivities that facilitated the dialogue with our guests. Also, wereceived guidelines to talk about the importance of teachingobedience of law in the schools, of respecting the rules andpaying the taxes for the wealth of our community.

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, otherthan an active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Per-mit within eight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which ismerely an approval for entry into the country.

All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's sig-nature is required at the time of application.

NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COM-ING TO ITALY DO NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA OR SOJOURNER PERMIT.

As part of the Area Orientation process, the U.S. Region Legal Service Office(RLSO EURAFSWA) assists in the preparation and oversees the acquisitionof the Sojourner Permit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands inthe Naples area. Army and Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must applythrough the Carabiniere at the JFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.

Naples Students Attend Junior Leadership Seminar in GermanyBy Dallas Mahal, Naples Middle School 7th Grade

I first heard about the DoDDS Europe Language Institute (DELI) overthe Intercom in the morning announcements. I was immediately intriguedby the fact that I could spend a week in Germany learning languages thatI haven’t been introduced to. I decided to apply along with a friend ofmine, not knowing that we would both eventually be the representativesfrom Naples Middle/High School. Before I knew it, we were at the airportwith Nurse Hall and Mr. Noonan on our way to Wiesbaden, Germany fora week that we will never forget.

Our first night in Wiesbaden, there was an opening ceremony, which in-troduced the keynote speakers and had a brief overview of what we wouldbe doing over the course of one week. Throughout the next few days, wespent three hours each studying the following six languages: Kiswahili,Arabic, French, Italian, Chinese, and Russian. My favorite language wasKiswahili, due to the fact that I was so uncertain of what it sounded like.I was blown away by how many people actually speak Kiswahili, and Iwould love to study it more whenever possible. On our last night of DELI,there was "Speed Dating with Languages" which included 10 minute ses-sions of over twelve languages that included but wasn't limited to: ASL,Pashtu, Romanian, Korean, Somali, Portuguese, and Igbo. I was particu-larly impressed with the fact that these people dedicated the time to learn-ing these languages and incorporated them somehow into their professionsand careers. I met so many people, and DELI has made me want to furtherinclude foreign studies into my future possible career as a doctor. Overall,DELI was an amazing week that I will never forget.

more. JLS was a great place tomeet new, life-long friends. Allthe activities JLS provided werefocused on team building strate-gies as well as learning how tolead leaders. I personallylearned there are other peopleout there just like me and mostimportantly, I met plenty of newfriends!

I also learned how to debate,fundraise, manage my time ef-fectively, and other life skills.We learned about consensus andthe parliamentary procedurewhich was very interesting tome. One day we even went on afield trip and walked down tothe river town of Oberwesel.While in this small town, we did

some geocaching and went on ascavenger hunt. That was a veryfun day.

I look at leadership in a com-pletely different way now thatI've attended JLS. I would easilyconsider it a life changing expe-rience. I highly recommend thisopportunity to anyone thinkingof applying next year. It was oneof the best weeks of my life. Ilearned a lot of important lead-ership strategies and made lotsof connections with people myown age. I especially bondedwith the five other 7th gradersfrom Naples Middle/High Schoolwho attended with me. JLS 2014will always be a part of who I am.
