More than 6,000 Americans andItalians gathered at Naval SupportActivity (NSA) Naples’ CarneyPark, July 5, for the annual FestaAmericana celebration.Morale Welfare and Recreation

(MWR) hosted the public eventfrom 1 p.m. to midnight to cele-brate the U.S. Independence Day

with the Naples community. Theevent featured music, food, localvendors, rides and games of skill,friendly competitions, specialguest performances, and a fire-works display.“I think that this is the greatest

time to come out and celebrate theU.S.A.” said Staci Deitrich, FestaAmericana entertainment manag-er. “We are here in Italy and wedon’t get a lot of the comforts thatwe usually have back at home.

Things are more difficult here butit is great to come out because ofthe camaraderie betweenAmericans and Italians.”The event was kicked off with a

welcoming speech by NSA NaplesCommanding Officer Capt. ScottGray and the playing of the U.S.and Italian national anthems bythe U.S. Naval Forces EuropeBand. Afterwards the U.S. NavalForces Europe rock bandFlagship rocked the crowd with

the popular rock and alternativetunes of yesterday. Hundreds of volunteers set-up

and manned 14 food and drinkstands offering a variety ofAmerican food. Friendly competi-tions were held between the vari-ous food stands, and one in par-ticular went as far as using amega-phone to rally support andcustomers from the crowd.

we would live here in a heartbeat. Montalcinoand its tourist-loving residents have thatimmediate effect on you.

Is Brunello di Montalcino Part of Your Wine Collection?

Nearly every visitor’s main purpose for avisit to Montalcino in the Tuscany region isn’tthe food; it’s the wine, specifically Brunello diMontalcino. Each year in February the Consorzio del

Vino Brunello di Montalcino organizes“Benvenuto Brunello” to unveil the newestvintage. This year’s was their 2009. Charming is too cliché to describe

Montalcino, a walled town - deep insideTuscany - where you feel secure, but nevertrapped. It’s also a place where you can’t go 10feet without a “buongiorno!” thrown your way. From the Tuscan Valley, the township of

Montalcino beckons you at 1,800 feet.Montalcino is located about 25 miles from theocean and is geographically positionedbetween three rivers and a 5,700-foot moun-tain, which helps protect the area fromweather hazards. Due to this strategic loca-tion and Mediterranean climate, wine hasflourished here for more than two thousandyears. After navigating the tiny, yet thankfully

one-way streets, we arrived at Il Gigliorestaurant and hotel. In addition to a robustwine shop in the fortress, a rewarding Tuscanview lies at the top of the watchtowers. After See BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO Page 5

Last week, our communitycelebrated the 4th of Julytogether in Carney Park atFesta Americana. It was afantastic opportunity to com-memorate our independencewith family and friends, goodfood, music, fun, and one ofthe best fireworks displays inrecent memory, which waskicked off by Alyson Lindvold,daughter of AT1 ChrisLindvold and April Lindvold.Festa is one of the highlightsof the year, and I would like to extend a special thank you toMichael Yates, Staci Dietrich and Chris Kasparek for all of theirhard work, ensuring the personnel and families of the Naplescommunity were able to have such a great time celebrating ourIndependence Day.Now that summer is in full swing, temperatures are up, and

folks are enjoying leave and liberty, I'd like to continue to beat thedrum on safety--specifically heat safety. Ensure you're stayinghydrated as the mercury climbs. Take breaks when working orexercising outdoors. Use extra caution with children and pets incars; never leave them unattended, even if the window is"cracked." Temperatures can climb very quickly in a car on a hotday, reaching dangerous levels in minutes. Take any and all pre-cautions needed to prevent any unsafe or dangerous and poten-tially tragic situation.Keep energy awareness and efficiency a priority in the heat, too-

-keep your windows and doors closed in housing or at work to pre-vent air conditioning from escaping. Remember to turn off lightsand unplug chargers when not in use. This month, installationsthroughout the Region are competing for the "Biggest Loser" inenergy consumption reduction. The prize for winning this compe-tition is $50K to be spent on base beautification projects. If every-one pitches together to reduce their energy footprint, this moneycan be ours. Results are back from the first week, and our con-sumption was down 12 percent. Check out the NSA NaplesFacebook page throughout the month for energy-saving tips.In addition to the "Biggest Loser," we have a busy month here in

Naples. Next week, the Chief of Naval Personnel, Vice Adm. BillMoran, will be in town, with opportunities to hear directly fromour community in all-hands calls and town hall meetings. The fol-lowing week, the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. JonathanGreenert, will also visit us. My relief, Capt. Doug Carpenter, hasarrived for our Change of Command ceremony on July 24.Please greet him as you see him throughout the base, and not

only our new CO and his family, but the many families who willPCS to the area this summer. Executing orders OCONUS can bea shock at first, so welcoming neighbors and building new friend-ships are a priceless part of easing the transition and helps toachieve a positive overseas experience.Whether you're just starting your tour, in the middle, or ready

to PCS, remember to take time to enjoy the moment and beingstationed in Italy. Before you know it, you'll be packing up andheading out to new places. Get out, have fun this weekend, andmake memories that will last!

Scott Gray, com-manding officer of NSANaples, conducted the meet-ings to address questionsand concerns dealing withthe closing of theCapodichino bachelor enlist-ed quarters. Gray began the meeting bydiscussing the plan to houseall single Sailors on SupportSite. He stated the plan is tomove three Sailors into atwo-bedroom apartmentwith an E-4 in the smallerroom and the master bed-room split between two E-3s.“You’ll have a living room,a balcony, kitchen and beable to walk to the commis-sary, the NEX, Bambusa andthe skate park,” said Gray.“We’re doing this to improveyour quality of life.”Many of the single Sailorshad questions about theupcoming move includingtransportation, bus schedul-ing and when the move willtake place.“We don’t know when actu-al moving will start,” saidGray. “When the time comesto move we will work onsomething to help get every-one over there and it willhappen in phases. As for thebuses and bus schedule weare working on getting$300,000 in funding forbuses and we still need totalk to all the base commandmaster chiefs and command-ers to understand watches,so we can make sure no mat-ter the time, there will be away to get there.”After answering the

The new program, whichbegan July 7, allows the gymto stay open after hours forsingle and unaccompaniedSailors while no gym atten-dants are there. Sailors can sign-up to usethe gym during off hours bygoing to the front desk andfilling out a form. Once theform has been filled out, thenames will be put into adatabase. A Common AccessCard reader will be put on

the doors and the Sailorscan swipe their card to gainaccess and use the gymequipment.“Most things will be open,but the basketball court, thepool and free weights aregoing to be closed,” saidGray. “You need to beresponsible.

Even though our family crashed the SanGiorgio restaurant staff ’s family-style dinner,we were not allowed to leave and they took turnsamusing our son throughout a wonderful meal.Having a toddler in Europe can be challengingfor American parents. Either we are the first toopen a restaurant because ‘who in their rightmind wants to eat dinner at 6 p.m.?’ - or we endup taking turns for dinner. Luckily for most us,Italians love children. When our son turns 16and is looking for a job, he’ll now have a goodbackground in pizza making. During the “Benvenuto Brunello,” I was able to

wine to be granted Denomination of Controlledand Guaranteed Origin (DOCG) in 1980 and bylaw is required to use 100 percent Sangiovesegrapes. Most people are familiar with ChiantiClassico wine, also by law, required to have aminimum of 80 percent Sangiovese grapes.

Characteristics of Brunellos range from anintense ruby red to a bright garnet color whileexhibiting a full-bodied, deep, elegant taste.When opening a Brunello, especially a reallyexpensive one, it was recommended to me by theowners of Cerbaiona, one of the most respectedwineries in Montalcino, to open it about fourhours prior to consumption to let the wine“breathe.”Brunellos are known for their ability to age and

improve over time, usually 10 to 30 years. Sonow, while living abroad, is the perfect time toresearch and buy some for your potential wineshipment back home. This doesn’t mean youcannot consume Brunello in the mean time, butanyone who has seen a Brunello price tag knowsit is an expensive decision.If you don’t want to spend a lot and still want

to drink a great wine from the area, a good com-promise is Rosso di Montalcino, a younger“Brunello,” recognized as a D.O.C. It is stillmade of 100 percent Sangiovese grapes, but notsubject to the long ageing process of Brunello.Wineries ship out an annual average of 4.5 mil-lion bottles of Rosso compared to the 9 millionbottles of Brunellos. While not as robust as theRosso is vibrant in taste and smell. If interested in Brunello, I encourage travelers

to read Kerin O'Keefe's book "Brunello inMontalcino," research a couple wineries, anddon’t be afraid to stick your nose in.

Naples CommunityHealth AwarenessThe Naples Public Health Evaluation

(PHE) was an extensive effort to learnmore about the potential environmentalhealth risks present in the Campaniaregion of Italy. The Navy establishedhealth protective policies based on thestudy’s findings to protect the health ofU.S. personnel and their families, whichincludes bottled water advisories andhealth protective lease clauses.The PHE found the potential health

risks for living off-base can be mitigatedby following established risk-managementactions. The enduring health protection policies are as follows:

• Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. personnel liv-ing off base.

• Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas, based onU.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data. In these zones,U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to sign new rental home leas-es.

• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE website andthe U.S. Navy Regional Water Quality Board.

• Maintain the health-protective U.S. Navy lease clauses for private off-base rental homes: – Landlords must provide containerized water service from a Navy-approved vendor.

– Leased homes must be supplied by city water or permitted wells.Landlords must disconnect all non-permitted wells and provideproof of connection to the city water system or that the well is per-mitted.

– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holding tanksevery six months.

• The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designated Italianpublic health officials.

Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy establishedhealth protective policies and took immediate action, when necessary, toprotect the health of U.S. personnel and their families. The risk man-agement analysis determined that many of the health protective policiesestablished during Phase I and Phase II will continue, as well as newpolicies implemented to ensure continued health protection. The Phase I and II reports, along with fact sheets addressing com-

monly asked questions and a detailed timeline of study components, areavailable through a link on the Naval Support Activity Naples website:www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have a concern about your specifichealth risk and how the study relates to you, please contact the U.S.Naval Hospital Naples at DSN: 629-6299 or commercial: 081-811-6299.

“The Cape Ray is taskedwith neutralization of spe-cific chemical material fromSyria,” Warren said, notingthat the teams are followingUnited Nations andOrganization for theProhibition of ChemicalWeapons guidelines. If all goes well, he said,neutralization will takeabout 60 days. Weathercould affect the process, headded. The U.S. ship has twofield-deployable hydrolysissystems in its holds. The

systems mix the chemicalsin a titanium reactor to ren-der them inert. “When neutralization iscomplete, Cape Ray willdeliver the result effluentby-products to Finland andGermany for destructionashore,” Warren said.

"He has refined thecurriculum and moved it in a direction that isrefocused towards the fleet."During the ceremony, Greenert noted Carter'saccomplishments in completing the initialphases of the Naval Leadership Continuum,establishing the Navy Leadership and EthicsCenter, and examining the future naval war atsea."Carter was the right leader at the right placeat the right time," said Greenert. "Thank youfor setting the stage for future analysis, forfuture planning, and for future development.We'll deep dive into the war at sea, Gardnerwill take it from here."Carter departs the NWC following hisappointment to vice admiral and assignmentas superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academyin Annapolis, Maryland."Today I relinquish the most significantassignment of my career," said Carter. "Thispast weekend I came back here to the hallwaysof the NWC. There was nobody here and I justwanted to walk through and soak in the flavorof the NWC."I reflected on the naval giants who havecome before me. Their portraits are hanging all

over the campus here - such history, such pas-sion, and such success in shaping the Navy'sfuture."Carter, a Rhode Island native, took commandof NWC as the 54th president and first navalflight officer in history to hold the position.While appointed as president, he refined thecollege's educational and research programsand worked to reconnect NWC with the fleet."For the first time in the 130 year history ofthe NWC, this institution will be led by a mem-ber of the naval special warfare community,better known as the SEALs.

Outdoor cats have existed alongside humans for thousands of years; theyare not a new phenomenon. Stray and feral cats live and thrive in everylandscape, from the inner city to rural farmlands, and they thrive here atNaval Support Activity Naples.Stray and feral cats look cute and cuddly to many people, but even

though they may appreciate a can of cat food, they may not want to snug-gle with you on your couch. In recent weeks, U.S. Naval Hospital Napleshas seen an increase in cat bites and scratches to personnel on board theSupport Site. If you are bitten or scratched by a stray or feral cat on or off base, your

doctor and the Public Health team at the hospital will likely recommendyou be treated and receive post-exposure prophylaxis. This treatmentinvolves multiple vaccinations given over a two-week period to protectyour health and wellbeing.Stray and feral cats are often plagued with a variety of diseases, some of

which pose a direct threat to humans in the event of a bite or a scratch.Bartonellosis - also known as cat scratch fever or cat scratch disease - mayresult in cold or mild flu-like symptoms, including fatigue, fever, headache,swollen lymph nodes and the development of pimple-like bumps at thescratch site. Ringworm is a fungal infection that can be transmitted from cat to cat,

as well as from an infected cat to dogs and humans. Symptoms of ring-worm include a rash that might be peeling, cracking, scaling, itching andred. Sometimes the rash forms blisters and may include circular spots ofpatchy hair loss. Toxoplasmosis is contagious to humans and is of particular concern for

pregnant women and those with a compromised immune system.Toxoplasmosis is an infection from a parasite found in cat feces. Up to onethird of the world’s population is estimated to be a carrier of Toxoplasmainfection. Infection will typically cause a mild, flu-like illness, or no illnessat all - one of the reasons why so many people are carriers of the disease.Rabies is also a concern with stray animals and has nearly a 100 percentfatality rate. Rabies is spread to humans through the bite or scratch of aninfected animal. Preventing the spread of these infections is easy. Start by avoiding stray

and feral cats. They should not be given food, touched or played with.These felines may look adorable, but the health and vaccination historiesof these animals are not known. Community members should notapproach or attempt to play with any stray animal, especially if it appearshostile, disoriented or is otherwise acting strange. It is important to know the vaccine history of your own pets as well. If

your cat is healthy and up-to-date on all their vaccinations and you arescratched or bitten, depending on the severity of the injury, a phone con-sult and discussion with your doctor may be all that is required. For petsthat do not appear healthy and/or their vaccination history is unknown, avisit with your doctor is recommended as soon as possible after the injury.For further questions or to obtain additional information, please contact

the U.S. Naval Hospital’s Preventive Medicine department at DSN 629-6457 or 081-811-6457.

“We had the walking tacos and they were pretty good,” said Lauren Stone,a dependent. “I like how they were going around competing against eachother. They were trying to get people to come to their tent and got on mega-phones. They yelled, fighting against the hotdog and hamburger people, “itstaco day, yesterday was for hotdogs and hamburgers the American way!”Throughout the afternoon visitors saw a variety of games and competitions

such as a potato sack race, balloon toss, pie and hotdog eating contest, ‘Let’smake a deal,’ and the World Cup Quarter Final games. For a few servicemembers new to the Naples’ area the celebration helped welcome them in afamiliar way.“It was just a way to get a little taste of home,” said Stone. “We are kind of

missing it right now, so it was nice being able to get some country music andAmerican food and make us a little less homesick.”“The Festa Americana means to me another way for everybody to appreci-

ate where the country is now, how far we’ve gone and enjoy a good time withour allies,” said Operations Specialist 2nd Class Petty Officer LouisdesAmbroise.As the evening set in, the festival concluded with a fireworks display and a

performance by American Idol winner David Cook.“I love the fireworks here at Carney Park, it is amazing,” said Dietrich. “Just

come out and have a good time and enjoy each other and be around the dif-ferent cultures and different food and fun and music because it is amazing.”

Italian law requires all foreign personnel working or living within Italy, other thanan active-duty member under military orders, to obtain a Sojourner Permit withineight days of arrival in Italy. This is different from a visa, which is merely an approvalfor entry into the country. All applicants over 14 years of age must apply in person, as each person's signature

is required at the time of application. NATIONALS OF ANY STATE OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMING 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 acquisition of the SojournerPermit for all personnel attached to U.S. Navy commands in the Naples area. Armyand Air Force personnel stationed at JFC must apply through the Carabiniere at theJFC Provost Marshall's Office, Building L.Contact Tiziana Petrarca, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-568-4639 for

Thomas Edison’s Role in Birth of Navy’sDepartment of Invention and Development

It was 99 years ago whenSecretary of the Navy JosephusDaniels sat down to type a four-page letter to Thomas A. Edison,asking him to chair a consultingboard for Navy inventions.Daniels had just read an inter-view in the New York Timeswhere Edison had proposed “Thegovernment should maintain agreat research laboratory…. Inthis could be developed … all thetechnique of military and navalprogression without any vastexpense.”Known for his progressive ten-

dencies to embrace new technolo-gy, Daniels had noticed inventionsand new devices were alreadyplaying a large part in the warraging in Europe, such as tanks,tracer bullets, flame throwers andpilotless drones, hydrophones anddepth charges.Enterprising civilians and com-

mercial entities were alreadyreaching out to the Navy withideas, but with no single depart-ment earmarked to handle them,they were parceled out to individ-ual Navy bureaus that werealready overworked fulfillingtheir own routine duties.Daniels wanted to fix that with

a “department of invention anddevelopment to which all ideas

and suggestions, either from theservice or from civilian inventors,can be referred for determinationas to whether they contain practi-cal suggestions for us to take upand perfect,” Daniels wroteEdison.Edison was intrigued, and on

July 13, he confirmed his accept-ance of chairing such a board. Itwas determined the Secretary ofthe Navy would appoint two peo-ple to the board, and from there,Daniels requested the presidentsof the 11 largest engineering andtechnology societies to providetwo people of their choosing.With the creation of the Naval

Consulting Board of the UnitedStates, it was the Navy takingthe first step to prepare the country for war. After the boardwas formed, a request for sugges-tions on how to improve Navyships drew more than 110,000responses.Eight years later, on July 2,

1923, the Naval ResearchLaboratory began operating, acontinued partnership betweendedicated naval researchers withmilitary, defense and private-sec-tor companies.Most recently, the Washington-

based Naval Research Laboratoryreleased information about inven-tions with a global reach, includ-ing clothes that self-decontami-nate and a global ocean forecastsystem.

In the SpotlightLCDR. BILL ANDERSONLt. Cmdr. Bill Anderson, from N.J., graduatedfrom the Rutgers University School of DentalMedicine in 2004. During his 10 years of service, he has served as a general dentistonboard the USS Frank Cable and at the U.S. Naval Academy.Prior to his arrival in Naples, Anderson completed his residency training inOrthodontics at the Tri-Service OrthodonticsResidency program in San Antonio. In the summer of 2013, he reported to U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Dental Clinic andtook command of the Orthodontics clinicAnderson is married to his dental schoolsweetheart, Peychi. They have two children,Reed, age three, and Jolie, age one. In his free time, Anderson enjoys running after his kids, hiking and biking.“The traveling opportunities are tremendoushere but on most weekends you can find us atone of the base playgrounds.”

HN AUSTIN HARRISHospitalman Austin Harris was born andraised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduatedfrom Lakeland High School in 2009 and wentto work for technical support at Verizon Tele-communications for two years. Wantingto do more for him and his country, Harris enlisted in the Navy alongside his brother,Anthony, in December 2011 and became a Hospitalman specializing in surgical technology. Harris arrived aboard U.S. NavalHospital Naples in February 2013 and is cur-rently working as the service senior surgical technologist in the obstetrician/gynecologydepartment. Outside of work, Harris devoteshis time with the Coalition of Sailors againstDestructive Decisions (CSADD). As a proactive member of CSADD, he led theorganization in the planning of three eventsthat helped boost command morale and effec-

tively brought attention to pressing problems within the Navy. Harris also volunteers with the USOwhere he continues to serve his community during his off-duty hours. Harris aspires to become a naval officer in the future and plans to continue his naval career untilretirement.When Harris is not volunteering, he is spending his time traveling throughout Europe, working out atthe gym, and drawing. Being a man of few words, when asked about his stay in Italy and his job atthe hospital, his simply replied, “I love it, I really do!”
