The Navy joins the nation incelebrating Women's HistoryMonth during the month ofMarch. Commands are strongly encour-

aged to increase their knowledgeand awareness of the contribu-tions of women to our Navy andnation by celebrating the nation-al Women's History Monththeme, "Women Inspiring In -novation through Imagination:Celebrating Women in Science,Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM)" throughprograms, exhibits, publications,and participation in military andcommunity events. One Navy STEM pioneer

includes Grace Murray Hopper,who wanted to put her Ph.D. inMathematics to use for hernation in the midst of World WarII. In 1943, she joined the NavalReserves and was commissionedas a lieutenant in 1944. DuringWorld War II she worked at theBureau of Ordnance Compu -tation Project at HarvardUniversity and at the end of thewar joined the Harvard faculty.Retiring as a rear admiral,Hopper was recognized as a pio-neer computer programmer, theco-inventor of Common BusinessOriented Language (COBOL),and for coining the term "bug" forcomputer malfunctions. Hopperwas buried at Arlington NationalCemetery in 1992. USS Hopper(DDG 70) was commissioned asher namesake in 1997; this wasonly the second Navy warship tobe named after a woman. Also during World War II, the

Navy launched the WomenAccepted for Volunteer Emer -gency Service (WAVES) program.Along with Hopper, more than85,000 WAVES worked in STEMfields as air traffic controllers,cryptologists, draftsmen, meteo-rologists, and translators duringWorld War II. In December 2012, history was

made in the Navy's nuclear com-munity when Lt. j.g. MarquetteLeveque, assigned to the goldcrew of USS Wyoming (SSBN742), and Lt. j.g. Amber Cowanand Lt. j.g. Jennifer Noonan ofUSS Maine (SSBN 741) bluecrew became the first femaleunrestricted line officers to quali-fy in submarines and receivetheir Submarine Warfare Insi -gnia, also known as "dolphins."Today in the Navy, female offi-

cers fill 10 percent of STEM posi-tions, including engineering dutyofficers and information warfareprofessionals. Female enlistedSailors make up 22 percent of thecryptology and intelligence com-munity and 21 percent of opera-tional ratings, including aviationwarfare systems operators andsonar technicians.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning,Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Austin Collie,Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver VincentJackson, former Boston Red Sox pitcher CurtSchilling, former American Idol contestants AceYoung and Diana Degarmo, and two DallasCowboys cheerleaders.“I just want to say thank you for having us here,”

said Manning. “It’s a real honor and pleasure forme to be here and for all of us to be here. I justcan’t thank all of you enough from the bottom ofmy heart for protecting our country. We trulyappreciate all the sacrifices you make.” The visitors, who had already visited Rota, Spain

and Sigonella, Italy earlier in the day, sat on theedge of the stage for an informal question-and-answer session in the packed theater.

“I think it’s pretty awesome to know that peopleappreciate what we do and that we have fans aswell,” said Chief Operations Specialist DwightChesterman, assigned to U.S. Naval ForcesEurope-Africa/ U.S. 6th Fleet. “It’s almost a once in a lifetime opportunity, so why

not try,” said Chesterman about bringing a footballfor Manning’s signature. “I’m a big Denver fan.”Schilling and Jackson received cheers from the

crowd for growing up in military families. Cheerleader Cassie Trammell told the crowd this

was her fifth USO tour and the 76th for the DallasCowboys cheerleaders. She said her mom also vis-ited service members with the USO in the 1980s asa Cowboys cheerleader. Following the question-and-answer session, the

touring celebrities posed for group photos withattendees, who were handed autographed cardsbefore leaving.“She’s been a Peyton Manning fan since he played

for Tennessee,” said Staff Sgt. Jose Rivera, fromAllied Joint Force Command Naples, about hiswife who came with him. “I enjoy watching him asa NFL player. He’s a great guy, I’m glad he cameout here, but I really brought her to see him.”

Base Notes•• ••

From Panorama staff reports

Greetings, Naples mili-tary community! Or maybe I should say

“hello again” because Ipreviously taught herefrom 1999 through 2006. Iab solutely love Italy, so Iactually never left aftermy teaching stint inNaples. I simply movednorth and served threeyears as the assistantprincipal for Vicenza’smiddle/ high school andthen served as the elemen-tary school principal forfour years. I came back about a month ago, to serve as yournew elementary school principal, because I couldn’t miss anopportunity to lead the school that gave me a chance as aneducator. I had a blast teaching Italian Immersion and sixth-grade Social Studies when I was last here. I had an immedi-ate impact on how my students saw the world. Although I’m now an administrator and my level of influence

has changed, I’m just as excited to be here. I am passionateabout what education should and can be. I know that leadingthe largest elementary school in the Department of DefenseDependents Schools Mediterranean District is not a one-manenterprise. So, I look forward to teaming up with the Navy,parents, school staff and other members of this energetic com-munity to give our students the resources and capacity to suc-ceed. In the 16 years I’ve served as an educator, I have always

understood that our children learn from the environmentaround them – and what an incredible learning environmentthey have here in Naples. Students aren’t confined to readingabout world history in a textbook. They can experience it inPompeii or the amphitheater in Pozzuoli. They can even see itby simply strolling through the aisles at the commissary andNavy Exchange. There is so much to expose our students to,and I hope you join me in this effort.My aim is to involve area commands that offer real-world

reading and problem solving applications that can open ourstudents’ eyes. I want our parents, service members, commu-nity and school staff working together to empower them. Toeveryone who made this week’s “Read Across America” efforta true success, thank you! Reading to our kids is importantevery week because it directly correlates to student achieve-ment. I encourage everyone to remain active in your child’s educa-

tion. Believe me, I understand how busy we as parents can be.One of the most important ways to stay engaged is to keep thecommunication lines open with your child’s teacher. You canalso stay informed of school developments and events fromour weekly newsletters and emails. Better yet, take advan-tage of the incredible volunteer opportunities offered throughour Parent Teacher Association. My door is always open to anyparent that has a question or concern. Please don’t hesitate toshoot me an email ([email protected]) or contact thefront office to schedule an appointment.

Have a safe weekend and see you around!

Italian General Elections Give No ClearWinnerThe Italian general elections produced a stalemate

with Pier Luigi Bersani's center-left alliance admit-ting he had come first but not won. His coalition wonthe lower house (House), but no party had taken theupper house (Senate). The Five Star Movement(M5S) led by comedian Beppe Grillo became thebiggest single party in parliament, not countingcoalitions. A coalition led by Silvio Berlusconi camesecond in the vote for the lower house, winning29.18 percent to Bersani's 29.54 percent. Berlusconipromised to refund an unpopular property tax and ifnecessary, out of his own pocket. But the populistmovement M5S harvested a resounding protest votefrom an electorate fed up with austerity policies anda grinding recession, scoring 25.5 percent in thelower house.A majority in both chambers of parliament is

required to form a government, leaving Italy in astate of limbo with a hung parliament -- unprece-dented in its post-war history. Under the constitu-tion, parliament has to meet within 20 days of anelection, after which formal negotiations begin withItalian President Giorgio Napolitano on forming anew government. Napolitano has called for the firstmeetings of the House on March 15, and by March16 the House formation is expected while the Senateis expected to form by March 20. PresidentNapolitano’s term expires May 15 and one of thefirst tasks of the House and Senate joint assembly isto elect the new president of the Italian republic onApril 15.

Italian Astronaut to Walk in SpaceThe Italian Space Agency announced the first

Italian astronaut to walk in space. LucaParmitano will go up to the International Space

Station in May for six months and will make atleast two space walks. Parmitano is an Air Forcecaptain and has been training in Russia. His mis-sion will involve many scientific experiments. Hewill also offer good Italian food to others on boardthe Space Station, especially after Italian chefsprepared and dehydrated every food from lasagnato tiramisu’ or from eggplant parmigiana to mush-room risotto. The Italian food will be sealed in alu-minum bags and reach the space station before theItalian astronaut.

Soccer Player Returns from ExileSoccer player Diego Armando Maradona

returned to Italy Monday after 8 years of tax exileto clear his name. His debts to the Italian taxauthorities are more than $50 million from allegedunpaid taxes during the time he played for Napolifrom 1984-1991, during which time the club wonits two Series A titles. Maradona went to Napleswhere about 300 fans gathered at his hotel. WhenMaradona came onto the balcony to wave to them,the crowd started singing “who doesn’t jump is aJuventus fan”, the famous player started jumping.

Italian Auto Insurance Highest inComparisonAuto insurance in Italian is very expensive, as

are many other things. The auto-insurance premi-ums have the highest cost compared to premiumsfound in other European countries. For instance, itis twice that of France and Portugal, and 80 per-cent more than Germany and 70 p0ercent morethan Holland. Auto insurance’s price from 2006-2010 was twice that of the entire euro zone. Thecost and frequency of accidents in Italy is alsoamong the highest for the main European countries.

New Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel promised Wednesday toalways be frank with the men and women of the department andsaid he expects all to be direct in return.Hagel spoke to the Pentagon workforce and a worldwide audi-

ence on the Pentagon Channel just after taking the oath as thenation's 24th defense secretary."I'll never ask anyone to do anything I wouldn't do," the secre-

tary said. "I'll never ask anybody to do more than I would do.That's the story of your lives. I wouldn't be worthy if that was notthe case."Army Sgt. 1st Class John Werth, a native Nebraskan and com-

bat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, introduced the new secre-tary. He said Hagel already had held the most important job inthe department: that of a combat infantryman. Hagel served inVietnam as a young enlisted soldier and was wounded twice.This is a defining time for the world, Hagel said."It's a difficult time. It's a time of tremendous challenge, but

there are opportunities," he added. "I think it's important that weall stay focused, obviously, on our jobs, on our responsibilities,which are immense, but not lose sight of the possibilities for a bet-ter world."Service members should not forget that America is a force for

good in the world, he said."We've made mistakes. We'll continue to make mistakes. But we

are a force for good," he said. "And we should always keep thatout in front as much as any one thing that drives us every day."The military needs to deal with the budget realities, the geopo-

litical challenges, cyber issues and the threats of terrorism, Hagelnoted."We've got ahead of us a lot of challenges," he said. "They are

going to define much of who we are -- not this institution only, butour country, what kind of a world our children are going to inher-it. That's the bigger picture of the objective for all of us."Facing these challenges is difficult, the secretary said."But it's also pretty special," he added. "When you think about

... how many generations have had an opportunity to be part ofsomething great, as difficult as this is ... we can really do some-thing pretty special for our country."The secretary promised service members he will do everything

he can "to ensure the safety, the well-being, the future of you andyour families.""Now, I've got to go to work," he said.

The NATO Campaign medal was presented tomembers of the Joint Force Command (JFC)Naples civilian workforce Feb. 21 in recognitionof the exceptional dedication, professionalismand accomplishment demonstrated duringOperation Unified Protector. Adm. Bruce W. Clingan, commander of Allied

Joint Force Command Naples, presentedmedals and certificates to all who contributedto Unified Protector’s success. AccompanyingClingan in recognizing the medal recipientswas Lt. Gen. Marquis Hainse, JFC's deputycommander and Maj. Gen. Gary Dean, JFC'sacting chief of staff."This is a great day to celebrate the contribu-

tions of our civilian staff members to a very spe-cific operation which was important in the his-tory of our region and the history of NATO,”said Clingan. "So let me echo my own personalthanks for your contribution and to emphasizethe confidence that I too share that we areready, as a staff in its entirety and the civilianelement of that staff, for what may come.”

JFC Naples is responsible for the rapidly-deployable NATO Response Force during 2013and continues its process of transitioning to awarfighting headquarters after the historicalmove to Lago Patria in late 2012. This transi-tion and new headquarters furthers the com-mand's capacity to respond to crises across thefull spectrum of military operations. “The recipients of today’s medals well represent

the whole family of civilians who made it possiblefor our headquarters to conduct OperationUnified Protector in such a successful manner,”explained Dr. Anthony M. Quattrone, head ofJFC Naples Civilian Human Resources. In closing, Clingan told the awardees that it

was "a pleasure to work side-by-side with thefinest civilian workforce in the world.”Unified Protector was the NATO operation

enforcing United Nations Security Council res-olutions 1970 and 1973 concerning the Libyanconflict. These resolutions authorized NATO toimplement an arms embargo, a no-fly zone andto use all means necessary to protect Libyancivilians and civilian populated areas. Theoperation commenced on March 23 and wassuccessfully concluded on Oct. 31, 2011.

engaged in practical application scenarios to coversituations that may occur while performing boardingoperations, including medical emergencies.“It is important to know how to react in any type of

situation,” said Cameroonian Lt. j.g. Bindang NgemaAurelien. “You need to have a plan, or things can gofrom bad to worse very quickly.”During the exercise, the Cameroonian sailors

showed how to give proper medical treatment towounded sailors in both a secure environment andwhile under duress.“The instructors from the different countries can

help each other by sharing how they react in certainsituations,” said Aurelein. “This helps us learn newtactics that we can apply to our own training whenwe all get back to our countries.”The exercise also stressed safety, as injuries can

jeopardize mission accomplishment. Training formedical emergencies is only part of the wider-rang-ing objectives of OE-13.“The goal of Exercise Obangame Express is to

increase Gulf of Guinea African nations’ maritimesafety and security,” said Capt. Dave Rollo, exercisedirector. “Strengt hening our ability to cooperate atsea supports a secure maritime environment for all

nations. We are all affected by piracy, illegal fishing,oil bunkering, and trafficking of persons, drugs andother goods illegally.”OE-13 provides African, European and Atlantic

partner maritime services the opportunity to worktogether, share information and refine methods inorder to help Gulf of Guinea maritime nations to bet-ter monitor and enforce their territorial waters andexclusive economic zones. “In the face of an alarming rise in maritime insecu-

rity, our forces need to enhance our strategic and tac-tical capabilities,” said Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo’o,Cameroonian Minister Delegate of the President incharge of Defense. “Exercise Obangame Express2013 helps ensure the effectiveness of our navalforces in maintaining maritime security.”Additional training for the participating forces

includes at-sea ship boarding and queries, air opera-tions, communication drills and regional informationsharing.“We’ve been preparing for this exercise for the past

year and now it’s time to execute,” said Rollo. “Ourships are ready, our operations centers are ready andmost importantly our people are ready.”OE-13 is a multinational at-sea naval exercise

designed to increase counter-piracy capabilities ofpartner nations and deter other maritime crime inthe Gulf of Guinea. The 16 countries participating inthis year’s exercise are Belgium, Benin, Brazil,Cameroon, Cote d’Ivorie, Equatorial Guinea, France,Gabon, Netherlands, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, SaoTome and Principe, Spain, Togo and the UnitedStates.

This photo illustrates some things to keep an eyeon as you transition from winter to spring.• Keep your thermostats at the recommended

industry standard of 70*F (21*C). If you stillfeel your home is too warm, use fans or a coolbreeze to compensate. Also, try running you're A/C units mostlyin the evenings. Then keep tight A/C boundary controls duringthe day.

• Use natural light to your benefit. Instead of turning on lights,open curtains or blinds instead.

• Turn off all of your electronic devices at once with a power strip.• Use appliances like washers and dryers at night for the best

rates.• Try to limit showers to five minutes. This will save you time,

money, and energy.

During President's Day weekend, Iwent with my family to a town calledAnagni, also known as Cittá dei Papi, orCity of Popes. Pope Boniface VIII wasborn here on the 13th of December, 1294.Pope Celestine V abdicated by his owndesign after talking with experts. Thiswas the last time a pope abdicated orresigned until now. Benedetto Caetaniwas then elected pope in Anagni, takingthe name Bonifacio VIII. Bonafacio wasfamous for establishing the RomanJubilee in 1300 A.D. and he founded theUniversity of Rome, "La Sapienza” in1303 A.D. He is also famous for re-estab-lishing the papal court from Naples backto Rome. We also went to see Bonifacio's palace.

My favorite place in the palace was achess room which featured a wall paint-ed with chess board designs and it isfamous because the pope received asmack (slap) on his face, known as loschiaffo di Anagni, received from thehand of Sciarra Colonna, a member ofthe powerful Colonna family. Colonnawent to Anagni to assist in the arrest ofBonafacio. There is also an amazingchurch in the center of the town,Cathedral of Anagni, dedicated to SaintMary, with a complex tile floor designand a crypt underground with frescoeson the walls.

Communication is powerful and directly affects our quali-ty of life and relationships. Our ability to express what wethink and feel without clouding our ability to listen andrespect how others think and feel is the greatest factor ofsuccess in our work and home life. Yet, communication is aneveryday activity that is easily taken for granted. Peopleuse the power of communication to strengthen relationshipsat work and at home by practicing skills that build effectivetwo-way communication.Unmanaged conflict has caused many hardships in the

workplace and at home. It can cause people to suffer, mis-sions to fail and families to separate. Yet, conflict isinevitable. People manage conflict by examining their atti-tudes and behaviors when faced with conflicting situations;practicing skills that prevent conflict from escalating; andworking with others to solve problems, allowing people togrow, missions to succeed and families to strengthen.

Answer to last week’s puzzle

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 Connie Henderson, RLSO EURAFSWA liaison advisor, at 081-568-4639 for
