Social media has taken ourmodern culture by stormand has become one of themost prominent sources ofinformation and communi-cation in our daily lives.Many businesses and mediaorganizations use socialmedia – in a wide variety offorms – to promote theirproducts, crowd source newinitiatives, and obtain newclients. We as individualsuse social media to communicate with each other andgain a broader awareness of our digital world. Socialmedia is a successful communication method because itis so easy and useful, but it is also easy to forget thatthis is an enduring form of communication and it’s beingrecorded on multiple devices and systems. This means itis very difficult to control who sees the messages andphotos you are sending. Whether photos, texts, or re-posting another’s message; a great piece of advice to re-member is – unless you are prepared to see it on thefront page of every newspaper in the world, do not put itonline and permanently attach your name to it.Of course this leads to an inherent dilemma. Participa-

tion in the online community is expected if you aim to bepart of modern society, and choosing to insulate or iso-late yourself risks missing out on the tremendous bene-fits and information available online – especially whilewe are living and working overseas away from familyand friends. One way to navigate this dilemma is by es-tablishing your own internal filter to work hand in handwith common sense digital filters and profile restraints.Please take a little time to think about what you arewriting before you post. Could your conversation easilybe taken out of context? If someone else were to readwhat you have posted how would they interpret the mes-sage? Could it appear threatening? The internet pro-vides little recourse if your message is misunderstood;and it is very easy to be misunderstood considering bodylanguage and intonation are so important in interper-sonal communications. So take a step back and readyour message or post again before hitting “submit.” Youmay save a lot of frustration in the long run.Speaking of internal filters, please do not filter out or

become complacent with trash and recycling. Each yearour organic and recyclable disposed items are weighedagainst the overall weight of trash collected. Based onthe ratio of these weights, the more recyclable and prop-erly sorted disposables the better, we are awarded prizemoney as an incentive to encourage environmentalfriendliness of installations. I urge our community mem-bers to consider your disposal and sorting methods notonly due to the potential award to improve our commu-nity, but also with pride for the installation we callhome. Our installation appearance is improving and Isure would like to keep it that way. If you need more in-formation on trash disposal and requirements pleasecontact our housing office.Finally, I am hosting a quarterly town hall meeting on

March 8th at the Support Site movie theater at 6 p.m.Please take some time to come to the meeting, your par-ticipation, questions, and ideas make a big impact onour community. Best of luck to the athletes travelingthis weekend who are participating in finals and cham-pionships around Europe. Have a great weekend!

Italian Students Raise Funds, Hope toBuy Private IslandItalian schoolchildren from the middle schoolin Mosso, a small town in the Alpine provinceof Biella started a crowdfunding campaing tobuy the uninhabited island of Budelli, part ofLa Maddalena archipelago that lies betweenSardinia and Corsica. The island is famous forits pink sandy beach and it is considered themost beautiful island in the Mediterranean.Itwas almost bought by a rich banker from NewZeland who paid 2.94 million euro when it wasput up for auction in 2013. He said he hadbeen in love with the archipelago for yearsand had drawn up conservation plans to en-sure its ecosystem was protected. His offerdrew protest by local politicians who appealedto the government to bring the paradise backunder state control. The banker, after a suc-cessful appeal renounced the idea of buyingthe island due to the uncertainty surroundingthe island’s classification as a reserve.

assignments took her toevery naval station on theWest Coast, as well asGuam and the Philippines.In addition to serving atshore hospitals, she servedon several ships, and wasat the bedside of PresidentWarren G. Harding whenhe died in San Franciscoin 1923.In 1939, Dauser was ap-

pointed superintendent ofthe Navy Nurse Corps.Her main charge was toprepare and expand theNavy’s Nurse Corps, forwhat the War Departmentanticipated would be ano-ther major war looming onthe horizon. She also hadanother more personalmission: to obtain equalrank and privileges forNavy nurses, who, al-though being treated as of-ficers, received neither thesame pay nor benefits, asmale officers.At the start of World War

II, the Navy had onlyabout 600 nurses, but bythe end of the war in 1945,the Nurse Corps was11,000 strong. And in1942, Congress authorizedfull officer’s commissionsand equal pay for Navynurses. Both achievementswere a result of Dauser’suntiring and selfless work.On Feb. 26, 1944, Dauser

was promoted to captain.In 1945, Secretary of theNavy James Forrestal pre-sented Dauser with the Di-stinguished Service Medal,the first Navy nurse toearn that honor: Anotherfirst for this remarkablewoman.A veteran of two wars,

three ships, and 28 yearsof active duty, Dauser reti-red in November 1945.She lived the remainder ofher life in La Mesa, Calif.,until her death on March11, 1972.

When people use electricity in theirhomes, the electrical power was proba-bly generated by burning coal, by a nu-clear reaction, or by a hydroelectricplant on a river, to name just a fewsources. Therefore, coal, nuclear, andhydro are called energy sources. Whenpeople fill up a gas tank, the sourcemight be petroleum refined from crudeoil or ethanol made by growing andprocessing corn. Energy sources are divided into two

groups: Renewable (an energy sourcethat can be easily replenished) andnonrenewable (an energy source thatcannot be easily recreated). Both re-newable and nonrenewable energysources can be used to produce second-ary energy sources like electricity.

Renewable energyThere are five main renewable energy

sources:� Solar energy from the sun, which

can be turned into electricity and heat� Wind energy� Geothermal energy from heat inside

the earth� Biomass from plants, which includes

firewood from trees, ethanol from corn,and biodiesel from vegetable oil� Hydropower from hydroelectric tur-

bines

Nonrenewable energyPeople get most of their energy from

nonrenewable energy sources, which

include fossil fuels (oil, natural gasand coal). These energy sources arecalled fossil fuels because they wereformed over millions of years by the ac-tion of heat from the earth’s core andpressure from rock and soil on the re-mains (or fossils) of dead plants andcreatures like microscopic diatoms. An-other nonrenewable energy source isuranium, whose atoms can be split(through a process called nuclear fis-sion) to create heat and eventuallyelectricity.People use renewable and nonrenew-

able energy sources to generate theelectricity needed for homes, busi-nesses, schools, and factories. Electric-ity powers computers, lights,refrigerators, washing machines, andheating and cooling systems.Most of the gasoline used in cars and

motorcycles, and the diesel fuel used intrucks, tractors, and buses are bothmade from crude oil and other hydro-carbon liquids that are nonrenewableresources. Natural gas, used to heathomes, dry clothes, and cook food, isalso a nonrenewable resource.The chart shows what energy sources

the United States used in 2014. Nonre-newable energy sources accounted for90 percent of all energy used in the na-tion. Biomass, which includes wood,biofuels, and biomass waste, is thelargest renewable energy source ac-counting for about half of all renewableenergy and five percent of total energyconsumption.

Naples Community Health Awareness

The Naples Public Health Evaluation (PHE) was an extensiveeffort to learn more about the potential environmental healthrisks present in the Campania region of Italy. The Navy estab-lished health protective policies based on the study’s findings toprotect the health of U.S. personnel and their families, whichincludes bottled water advisories and health protective leaseclauses. The PHE found the potential health risks for living off-base can be mitigated by following established risk-manage-ment actions.

The enduring health protection policies are as follows:• Maintain the July 2008 bottled water advisory for U.S. per-

sonnel living off base.• Maintain the New Lease Suspension Zone (NLSZ) areas,

based on U.S. Navy and Italian environmental sampling data.In these zones, U.S. Navy personnel are not permitted to signnew rental home leases.• Maintain the U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples PHE web-

site and the 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 andprovide proof of connection to the city water system or that thewell is permitted.– Landlords must clean and disinfect domestic water holding

tanks every six months.• The U.S. Navy will continue to share data with designated

Italian public health officials.

Throughout the Public Health Evaluation, the U.S. Navy es-tablished health protective policies and took immediate action,when necessary, to protect the health of U.S. personnel andtheir families. The risk management analysis determined thatmany of the health protective policies established during PhaseI and Phase II will continue, as well as new policies imple-mented to ensure continued health protection. The Phase I andII reports, along with fact sheets addressing commonly askedquestions and a detailed timeline of study components, areavailable through a link on the Naval Support Activity Napleswebsite: www.cnic.navy.mil/Naples. If you have a concern aboutyour specific health 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.

ENERGY CONSERVATIONEnergy sources can be categorized as renewable or nonrenewable

Several tax law changes could signifi-cantly affect how service members andtheir families file their 2015 income taxreturns.“It’s probably the biggest set of changes

in many years” Army Lt. Col. Samuel W.Kan, executive director of the DefenseDepartment’s Armed Forces Tax Council,which oversees the military’s VolunteerIncome Tax Assistance program, said.For example, this is the first year serv-

ice members received an IRS Form 1095-C, which documents their 2015minimum essential health care coverageand shows their compliance with the Af-fordable Care Act.

IRS Form 1095-C“People haven’t seen these forms be-

fore,” Kan said, adding that servicemembers must keep the 1095-C withtheir tax records, and bring it withthem if they use a tax preparer. Servicemembers who entered or left the mili-tary in 2015 or had other life-changingcircumstances that created a healthcare coverage lapse have an issue thatmust be addressed with a tax preparer,he added. Those members might havemultiple 1095s, depending on their indi-

vidual circumstances. Taxpayers without minimum essential

health care can incur IRS penalties,Kan said. In addition, taxpayerswho enrolled in the Health In-surance Marketplace andhad advance payments ofthe Premium Tax Creditpaid directly to insurancecompanies on their behalf,such as members whoworked in the civilian sectorand then joined the militaryin the middle of the year,will need to file their tax re-turn to reconcile thoseadvance payments.

Some ‘Extenders’ PermanentService members should be aware that

certain “tax extenders” – once temporarymeasures to stimulate the economy –have become permanent, Kan said. Someof those important permanent changesinclude the state and local general salestax deduction, especially for those mem-bers from states without a state incometax, the educator expense deduction formembers who teach and incur expenses,and the American Opportunity TaxCredit, for members with college ex-penses, he said.

Lots of Resources for HelpMany resources exist for service mem-

bers to file their 2015 tax returns,whether they are stateside or deployed,Kan said.

The online IRS Publication 3,the Armed Forces Tax Guide, ad-dresses a wide range of issuesthat might affect members of themilitary, Kan said. In addition,state tax guides will soon be avail-able through Military OneSource,installation tax centers and legalassistance offices.

Visit a tax center and learnwhat documents to bring toa tax preparer before sched-uling an appointment, Kan

advised, adding that it’s essential tobring last year’s income tax return to en-sure that members get all the tax bene-fits to which they may be entitled.

File for FreeFree tax-filing and preparation assis-

tance for service members is available ina variety of ways, he said. First, “brick-and-mortar” tax centers on installationseducate military members, while VITAcertified tax preparers accurately pre-pare and file the member’s income taxreturns while they wait. Legal assistanceoffices also can give advice on other tax

services provided at nearby installations,even though they may be operated byother armed services, Kan said.Second, Military OneSource tax kiosks

are available at some installation taxcenters and offer self-service computersso service members can prepare and filetheir own tax returns, assisted by VITAcertified tax preparers who are onsite tohelp.Third, members can use Military One-

Source from home, assuming they are fil-ing very simple tax returns without suchdeductions such as passive loss carry-overs on rental property, he noted. Serv-ice members who want to use MilitaryOneSource from home should be sure toread the instructions before starting areturn to make sure they don’t wastetheir time by starting a return and thenrealizing that the return cannot be prop-erly prepared, Kan noted.Although service members can prepare

their own tax returns and do the neces-sary research by using search enginesand the IRS web site, Kan said, due tothe many changes in this year’s tax code,self-filers should show their returns toan tax preparation expert at an installa-tion tax center to make sure they haven’tmissed any benefit to which they are en-titled. Few things are worse than leavingyour own money on the table, he added.

From eighth century B.C. whenHomer wrote about Ulysses’ crewstealing cheese from the Cyclops’cave in the faraway land of Sicily totoday, cheese has been a vital part ofthe Italian history and diet.Nearly three thousand years later,

in 1889 during a visit to Naples byQueen Margherita and King UmbertoI, discovered Neapolitan pizza. The queen, growing wearing of the

bland French cuisine that was com-monly eaten at the royal table, wentin search of local fare. Naples’ most famous pizza maker,

Chef Raffaele Esposito of PizzeriaBrandi (which is still operating indowntown Naples), created severalpizzas for the queen. The queendidn’t like the garlic pizza (pizzamarinara) or the anchovy pizza (pizzaNapoli). But she loved a pizza thatrepresented the colors of the newItalian flag; red (tomato), white (moz-zarella) and green (basil). She liked the pizza so much that Es-

posito named the new creation the“Margherita,” in her honor, and withqueen’s “stamp of approval” the newpizza was embraced by Italianseverywhere; and mozzarella, whichwas already famous and beloved inItaly, soon became a household namearound the world.Among mozzarella cheese, the one

most revered for its flavor and tex-ture is mozzarella di bufala, which ismade from the milk of water buffalo.Whole buffalo milk is richer in pro-

tein and fat than that of dairy cows.As a result, Buffalo mozzarellacheese has a richer flavor.Aversa, a city about 15 minutes

from Support Site, is recognized asthe origin of buffalo mozzarellacheese. The highest quality buffalomozzarella bears the “Mozzarella diBufala Campana” trademark. In1993, Mozzarella di Bufala Campanawas granted “Denominazione di Orig-ine Controllata” (DOC) status, whichis an Italian quality assurance labelfor food products. To obtain DOC status, the food prod-

uct must be produced within specifiedregions, using defined methods, andmust satisfy a defined quality stan-dard. Three years later, the EuropeanUnion granted Mozzarella di BufalaCampana “Protected Designation ofOrigin” or Denominazione di OrigineProtetta (DOP), which is a geographi-cal indication within European Unionlaw to protect the names of regionalfoods. This law ensures that onlyproducts genuinely originating inthat region are allowed in commerceas such. Today, nine provinces in Italy can

produce buffalo mozzarella trade-marked as “Mozzarella di BufalaCampana.” Italy produces about33,000 tons of buffalo mozzarella an-

School Field Trip to BuffaloMozzarella Factory, Pizzeria

My favorite foods in Italy are cheesepizza and mozzarella balls. When I heardMrs. Muzyka say that we would begoing on a field trip to find out how tomake pizza and mozzarella balls I got soexcited. My whole second grade classwent on the trip to the buffalo farm, amozzarella factory and a pizzeria.

The first stop was to a buffalo farm.We saw buffaloes that were big, smalland medium sized, and there were evensome baby buffaloes. We found out thefarmers would feed the buffaloes diffe-rent types of meals to produce moremilk.

The farmers woke up really early to getmilk from the buffaloes. They used aspecial milking machine to collect milkfrom the females. The farmers can getsix liters of milk from each buffalo. Thenthe milk would be put on a truck, and itwould be taken to the mozzarella factoryjust in time for lunch or a snack.

We said grazie to the farmers and goton the bus for the mozzarella factorywhere they make a lot of cheese. Theymade different size balls and they alsomade ricotta cheese from the buffalomilk.

They got the buffalo milk from thetruck and put it into big containers tostart the process. First they would makericotta cheese from the milk that went tothe top of the container. Then theywould put the rest of the milk into a spe-cial cutting machine to make it ready tobe made into balls and other shapes.They even made a big mozzarella braid!

This part of the tour was already betterthan the farm because we got to tastemozzarella balls before we went into thefactory. It was really cool to see howthey made the milk from the buffaloeswe visited at the farm into tasty cheese.

The last part of the field trip was to apizzeria where they will use the freshmozzarella and make yummy pizza. Mrs.Muzyka told us to go watch them makea pizza from scratch. The pizzeria wasreally cool and the pizza tasted totallyawesome and was nice and hot.

Our trip back to school made mesleepy. The trip was nice because we le-arned how mozzarella and pizza wasmade and where it came from. We allhad fun at the trip.

History, Background of Buffalo Mozzarellanually, and, about 80 percent of thisis produced in the Campania region.Mozzarella is sold in a variety of

shapes, small balls called bocconcini(little bites), plump spheres andbraids. These various shapes typi-cally weigh anywhere from one to 20ounces.And, like a fine wine that should be

consumed soon after opening, moz-zarella should be eaten within a fewdays – some people swear it shouldbe hours – of its production. For thatreason, to truly enjoy mozzarella, youshould find a reliable mozzarella ven-dor in your area.

Traditional, handmade buffalo mozzarella traces itsroots to the 12th century, resulting in cheese that iscreamy, tangy, soft and chewy. Photo by AthenaPlichta

2016 is a leap year – so what doesthat mean, exactly?Each month in the calendar has ei-

ther 30 or 31 days, except forFebruary, which usuallyhas 28 days. Every fouryears, however, anextra day gets addedto February, and weend up having anextra day in the year.When this happens,that year is referred toas a leap year.Here’s how that hap-

pened.At the conclusion of the

Roman civil war (49-45 B.C.), theRoman dictator Julius Caesar set outto replace the many imprecise calen-dars that were in common use at thetime, with an official – and accurate –calendar.Acting on advice by the Alexandrian

astronomer Sosigenes – Caesar cre-

ated a calendar system that added anextra day to the calendar every fouryears.The idea of a leap year calendar was-

n’t new; it had been tried in Egypttwo-hundred years earlier by

Ptolemy III, but his subjectsrefused to follow it.The reason behind theleap year concept is sim-ple: To keep the monthsand seasons where theybelong. An earth year isreally about 365.25 dayslong. If we didn’t have thisleap year every four yearsto keep the calendar on

schedule, these extra quar-ter days would eventually add

up and shift the calendar to thepoint where Christmas could becomethe hottest time of year.By adopting a leap year with an

extra day every four years, the calen-dar year would stay on track and theseasons will be right where they aresupposed to be.
