WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Eight Depar-tment of the Navy (DoN) commands

were recognized for exemplary achievements atthe annual Secretary of the Navy Energy andWater Management Awards ceremony Oct. 3,held at the U.S. Navy Memorial and Naval He-ritage Center.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recogni-zed select commands for leading the DoN in re-ducing energy and water consumption,increasing use of renewable energy sources andconstructing sustainable facilities, all whilemaintaining mission readiness.

"These awards demonstrate the progress thatwe have made in the last three and a half years tochange the way we think about and the way weproduce and use energy," said Mabus. "We areworking towards these energy goals to help usbecome a more effective military force to help usaccomplish the mission that the nation gives us."

The DoN is cultivating a culture of energyefficiency on shore and at sea resulting in enhan-ced energy readiness and innovation. DoN is awidely recognized leader in renewable energyproduction. Equivalent of 19 percent of DoNshore electricity consumption comes from alter-native sources.

Eight Navy and Marine Corps commandswere recognized for exemplary energy and watersavings which resulted in combined energy sa-vings in 2011 of more than 418,500 million Bri-tish thermal units (Btu), enough energy formore than 4,144 homes for an entire year. Thecommands brought new renewable energy sy-stems on line that produce 48,700 million Btuper year, equal to the energy requirements of482 homes per year. Water savings were morethan 37.5 million gallons, equivalent to 57Olympic-size swimming pools. Cost avoidancein 2011 topped more than $16.7 million.

This year's Navy and Marine Corps energyand water management award winners are:

* Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii:Navy Large Shore Category * Naval Air Sta-tion Sigonella, Italy: Navy Small Shore Ca-tegory * Marine Corps Base CampPendleton, Calif.: Marine Corps LargeShore Category * Marine Corps LogisticsBase Albany, Ga.: Marine Corps SmallShore Category* Naval Undersea Warfare Center DivisionKeyport, Wash.: Other Shore Category *USS Makin Island (LHD 8): Large Ship Ca-tegory * USS Philippine Sea (CG 58): Me-

tion of their overall energy and water manage-ment performance and are ranked according toa system of SECNAV award winners, then pla-tinum, gold or blue level of achievement. Tenplatinum, 51 gold and 36 blue commands werealso recognized during the ceremony.

Mabus emphasized DoN's aggressive energyand water consumption goals laid out threeyears ago. These five goals strengthen the strate-gic, tactical and operational capabilities of theNavy and Marine Corps while enhancing envi-ronmental stewardship:

The DoN's five energy goals are:* Increase Alternative Energy Use DoN-

Wide: By 2020, 50 percent of total DoN energyconsumption will come from alternative sources;

* Sail the "Great Green Fleet": DoN demon-

strated a Green Strike Group in local operationsin 2012 and will sail it by 2016;

* Reduce Non-Tactical Petroleum Use: By2015; DoN will reduce petroleum use in thecommercial vehicle fleet by 50 percent;

* Energy Ashore: By 2020, DoN will pro-duce at least 50 percent of shore-based energyrequirements from alternative sources; 50 per-cent of DoN installations will be net-zero; and

* Energy Efficient Acquisition: Evaluationof energy factors will be mandatory when awar-ding contracts for systems and buildings.

"We have energy goals that we want toachieve and because of the courage, bold actionsand innovations of our winners today, we willachieve these goals," said Mabus. "We are on thepath to create a new energy future that will in-crease the security of this country because thatis what the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corpshave always done."

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoya-ble Columbus Day weekend. Not only wasit a holiday weekend, but also a huge wee-kend for Sigonella youth sports. Just as im-portantly, I want to thank the communityfor coming out to support our studentathletes. It may have been the extra supportthat put volleyball, football, and cross coun-try squads over the top: all of them cameaway with victories. The Sigonella Swor-dfish also hosted the “Double Dip” swimmeet, with many of our swimmers turningin personal records for the events. It is al-ways fun to show off our state-of-the-art fa-cilities to other families across Europe. Ifyou did not make it out to any of the games,there will be more opportunities. I encou-rage everyone to come out and supportyour teams! Congratulations and well doneto all those who competed!

Our United States Navy dates back tothe Continental Navy, which the Continen-tal Congress established on 13 October1775, by authorizing the procurement, fit-ting out, manning, and dispatch of twoarmed vessels to cruise in search of muni-tions ships supplying the British Army inAmerica. In 1972, Chief of Naval Opera-tions (CNO) Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt

authorized recognition of 13 October asthe Navy’s birthday. Since 1972, each CNOhas encouraged a Navy-wide celebration ofthis occasion "to enhance a greater appre-ciation of our Navy heritage, and to providea positive influence toward pride and pro-fessionalism in the naval service."

Tomorrow, we will celebrate the 237thbirthday of our great Navy with a Ball at theCatania Sheraton. I am pleased and hono-red to welcome Vice Admiral French, Com-mander Navy Installations Command asour guest speaker this year. There has neverbeen a better time to have the Navy leaderresponsible for every Navy installation inthe world visit our base and become a partof our Community!

many accomplishments we have made to-gether as a Navy. Happy 237th Birthday,Shipmates!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!There is NO EXCUSE for DOMESTIC ABUSE!The National Domestic Violence Awareness

Month is an opportunity to raise awareness of dome-stic violence, educate about the signs of abuse and em-phasize the negative impact it has on family readiness.In support of the national observance, the Fleet andFamily Support Center will focus on awareness andprevention through the Domestic Abuse Preven-tion/Awareness campaign. The focus of this campaignis to: educate bystanders and prompt them to actionin preventing domestic abuse, inform victims of do-mestic abuse that help is available and that offenderswill be held accountable.

Symbolism of the Purple RibbonWhat began close to two decades ago in scattered

communities as a visible gesture of support for survi-vors and victims of domestic violence, today has be-come one of the most widely-recognized symbols ofthe battered women's movement-the purple ribbon.

The exact history of the purple ribbon is some-what difficult to pinpoint. Over the years, a numberof sources have been credited with originating the useof the purple ribbon as a unifying symbol of courage,survival, honor and dedication to ending domesticviolence.

Across the country, families and friends of victimshave adopted the purple ribbon to remember andhonor their loved ones who have lost their lives at thehands of a person they once loved and trusted. Shel-ters and local battered women's programs use the pur-

ple ribbon to raise awareness about the crime of do-mestic violence in their communities.

The purple ribbon also has been recognized by StateLegislatures in proclamations commemorating Octoberas National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

How Is Your Relationship?DOES YOUR PARTNER….■ Verbally insult, demean or threaten you?■ Isolate you from friends, family or other people?■ Organize schedules to follow or harass you?■ Limit your mobility or access to money?■ Explode into rage and assault you physically or

sexually?■ Negate your words, abilities, ideas and actions?■ Choke, punch, slap, kick or otherwise hurt you?■ Excuse each attack and promise to stop?If this sounds familiar, you could be the victim of

an abusive relationship. However, you are not alone.Whether you need information, support, or a safeplace to stay, there are people who can help.

Domestic abuse has negative effects on family rea-diness and undermines quality of life. The choices aremany. We all must acknowledge that interpersonalviolence is wrong, reach out to support victims, holdoffenders accountable and create a climate of safetyand respect.

Naples (AKI)Police recently arrested the 16-year-old

son of a Naples mafia clan boss after he alle-gedly pulled out a pistol and opened fire on aclassmate and love rival, wounding him in theleg. Police said the Naples mafia scion suspec-ted the other youth of having a relationshipwith the object of his own affection: a 13-year-old girl whose cousin was killed in a Na-ples mafia shootout in 2004.

The victim was admited to a local hospitalin the Naples district of Forcella where doc-tors said he would take 30 days to recover.After he was shot, the youth crashed theHonda scooter he was riding at the time, in-juring his passenger as well, Naples daily IlMattino reported.

(Reuters)Rome - Basta with the pasta, and all other

snacks on the street. That's what officials inRome are saying to visitors to the ancient cityabout eating at main tourists sites.

A new ordinance imposes fines of up to$645 for hungry tourists caught grabbing abite to eat in the street while visiting Rome’shistoric monuments, such as the Colosseum,Italian media reported.

La Repubblica newspaper says that thelaw, which came into effect Tuesday, is inten-ded to "guarantee the protection of areas ofmerit in the historic centre."

“It is forbidden to encamp or erect make-shift shelters and stop to eat or drink in zoneswhich have a particular historic or architectu-ral value,” reads the ordinance adopted byRome city council.

"This is a way to re-educate people abouthow to behave in this city. We've let standardsfall," Viviana Di Capua, member of an asso-ciation of historic district residents, told thepaper.

AFP reports that similar bans have alreadybeen adopted in several other Italian cities,such as Florence and Venice. Visitors stayingovernight Florence must pay a tax to improvethe tourists services and public transporta-tion, while tourists to Venice must pay a hoteltax to save the city from sinking.

(ANSA) - Rome - Italian President Giorgio Napoli-

tano last Friday spoke out against a Germancourt's decision not to prosecute survivingNazi military officers suspected of a WorldWar II massacre in Tuscany. "We note withprofound regret the disturbing reasons forclosing a case into those suspected of directlyparticipating in those heinous Nazi crimes,"said Napolitano in an anniversary messagemarking a separate case, in which 43 civilianswere killed in a Nazi massacre in Bellona, sou-thern Italy, in 1943. Following a 10-year inve-stigation, German magistrates on Mondaysaid a lack of evidence made them drop thecase against eight surviving Nazi soldiers forthe murder of 560 civilians, including 116

children, in the Tuscan village of Sant'Anna diStazzema, near Lucca, in 1944. The decisionsparked anger and disbelief among the localcommunity and Italian politicians, withmayor Michele Silicani describing it as "ab-surd and unjust".

In its own investigation and trial, the Ita-lian military court condemned 10 of the ex-Nazi officers to life in prison in absentia,including the eight who remain alive.

Germany refused to grant Italy's requestfor the men's arrest.

Mayor Siliciani on Tuesday said he alsoplanned to meet with Justice Minister PaolaSeverino to ask for her intervention.

Only three former Nazis have ever beenjailed in Italy for war crimes.

Erich Priebke, 99, was extradited from Ar-gentina in 1995 and sentenced to life for hispart in a 1944 reprisal outside Rome that kil-led 335 men and boys including many Jews;his ex-commander Karl Hass, arrested aftercoming from Switzerland to Priebke's trialwith witness immunity, died in prison aged92 in 2004; and 'Butcher of Bolzano' MichaelSeifert, found guilty of 18 murders, was extra-dited from Canada to serve life in 2008 anddied in jail aged 86 in 2010.

Priebke is now under house arrest inRome. He had a work permit revoked in 2007after an outcry from the city's Jewish commu-nity. Italian prosecutors have issued Europeanarrest warrants for 15 other German formersoldiers without success.

Under the terms of a postwar settlement,Germany is not required to extradite allegedwar criminals to Italy.

The two countries agreed in 2008 to re-view outstanding wartime issues includingthe compensation for victims.

Tourists snacking in Rome could befined hundreds of dollars, Touristand other visitors can now face finesfor snacking at the city's historic sites.

From artisans and craftsmen, fresh foodand produce, wine, nuts, and honey, there isjust about something for everyone. The manyvendors are more than happy to give you a sam-pling of what they have to offer. There is alsoplenty to choose from at the abundant food bo-oths available. Try a panini with horse meat, orgrab an ear of roasted corn. I personally had the

Panino Mongibello, or a pork sausage san-dwich with a pistachio sauce. There are also theever present pastries and cannolis. If you leaveOttobràta hungry, you’ve done somethingwrong!

Not to be confused with the annual Okto-berfest in Germany, which focuses more onbeer, the Ottobràta festival celebrates the many

agricultural products that are grown in the Etnaregion. One of my favorites is honey. There areseveral different varieties to choose from, inclu-ding peach, pistachio, almond, hazelnut, or amixture of everything!

There are three Sundays left, October 14,21, & 28. So get up, skip breakfast, and headout to Zafferana to join the celebration.

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Ma-ster Chief Petty Officer of the Navy(MCPON)(AW/NAC) Mike D. Ste-vens sends his 237th Navy BirthdayMessage to the fleet Oct. 9.

"Shipmates and Navy families,As we honor the 237th birthday

of the United States Navy, I wouldlike to express my deepest gratitudeto all Sailors, civilians and familymembers for your service and dedi-cation to our great Navy.

One of the primary reasons I be-lieve our Navy is so great is becauseof the way we treat each other withdecency and respect and how we con-

duct ourselves professionally. This issomething that we should all activelystrive to do every day. It adds value,influences those around us in a posi-tive way, and is truly important to ourprimary mission of warfighting.

I personally look to our history asa roadmap and a guide to help us staythe course and aid us in navigatingthrough the challenges we face today.It is these challenges that create theopportunities that allow us to grow asSailors, citizens and leaders. The Na-vy's birthday gives us a chance tothink about the things that we aredoing today and how we are creating

history from which future genera-tions can draw courage. In everythingthat we do, we need to provide futuregenerations something to be proud ofand celebrate. This is our time and weare part of a new history. We mustseize the day, because if we don't,who will?

To all of our Sailors and Navy fa-milies, I would like to wish you a veryhappy birthday as we celebrate 237years of excellence and service to ourgreat Navy.

All the Best!Very Respectfully,MCPON"

Members of a Navy honor guard from the guided-missile destroyer USS Cole(DDG 67) practice rendering colors before a memorial service at the USS ColeMemorial at Naval Station Norfolk. The Norfolk-based ship was damaged by a sui-cide bombing while refueling in the Port of Aden in Yemen, killing 17 and woun-ding 39 Sailors. Cole returned to the fleet in 2002 and has deployed four timessince the attack. (U.S. Navy photo by MC1 Julie Matyascik/Released)

Seventeen Sailors were killed abo-ard guided-missile destroyer USS Cole(DDG 67) when it was attacked by ter-rorists in the Yemeni port of Aden 12years ago, on October 12, 2000.

A Cole Memorial site consisting of17 low-level markers which stand forthe youthfulness of the Sailors whoselives were cut short and three tall, gra-nite monoliths, each bearing brass pla-ques, stand for the three colors of theAmerican flag. A set of brown markersencircles the memorial symbolize thedarkness and despair that overcamethe ship. Additionally, 28 black pinetrees represent the 17 Sailors and the11 children they left behind.

Onboard the ship itself, the pas-sageway for the mess line, known asthe "Hall of Heroes," stands as a la-sting memorial to those lives lost.There are 17 brass stars placed in thedeck to represent the 17 sailors killedthat morning. On the mess decks,there are various reminders of thelong road back to sea for the Cole.Among them are three U.S. flags. Thefirst is the flag that was flying the daythe bombing took place. Second is theflag that was used during the burial ofthe lost sailors. Lastly, the flag thatwas flown when the Cole got back un-derway for its first deployment afterthe bombing.
