On Wednesday we honoredall those who serve andhave served in the U.S.Armed Forces with Veter-ans Day. The federal holi-day is celebrated annuallyon November 11 and coin-cides with Armistice Dayand Remembrance daysaround the world, whichcommemorate the end ofWorld War I. Many of ourcommunity members re-ceived thanks, support, and well wishes in-print, online,and in-person. Those “thank-you: wishes are well-de-served! Joining the Military is not just another jobchoice, it is the voluntary agreement to sacrifice yourtime, freedom, and more in service to our Nation. November11 also brings a proliferation of imagery con-

taining a red poppy. The significance of the red poppydates back all the way to World War I, when Col. JohnMcCrae, a surgeon with Canada’s First Brigade Ar-tillery, wrote a poem called “In Flanders Fields” express-ing his grief over the rows and rows of poppies amongthe graves of soldiers who had died on Flanders’ battle-fields. Two women, Anna E. Guerin and Moina Michaelwere so touched by his poem that they started afundraiser selling artificial poppies to help orphans andothers affected by the war. In 1920, with the help of theAmerican Legion, Ms. Guerin brought the sale of artifi-cial poppies to the U.S. Ms. Michael joined forces withMs. Guerin and the Veterans of Foreign Wars to furtherpromote this symbol. It became so popular that a poppyshortage in France prompted the construction of apoppy-making factory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.which provided a reliable source of poppies and a meansof assistance to veterans. Today, veterans at Veterans Af-fairs facilities continue to help assemble the red poppies,which are distributed by veteran’s organizations aroundthe country. In our location here in Naples, Italy surrounded by Ital-

ian culture, and seemingly endless travel possibilities, itcan be difficult to square duty here with our brothers andsisters down-range. I will make no attempt to claim thatthe hardships we face are anywhere near those sleepingunder the watchful eyes of our enemies, however it doesnot mean our mission has less meaning. The work we dohere on Naval Support Activity Naples provides the lead-ership and infrastructure necessary for others to under-stand and complete their missions. I ask that you acceptthe thanks of your countrymen and women knowing thatyour actions contribute directly to the successful over-seas presence of the United States Navy.This November we also celebrate military family

month, recognizing not only our service members as in-dividuals, but their families as a whole for their braveryand support of those who keep our nation safe. It is notevery job that asks families to selflessly trade their timetogether for the security of others. The members of theNSA Naples community are intimately aware of thehardships faced and the obstacles that must be over-come. This month, please join me in celebrating the mili-tary family and remember that the strength of ourpersonnel is fortified and re-doubled with the support ofour families around them. Enjoy your weekend and start planning for those

thanksgiving dinners!

SPOTLIGHT: LT KIRSTEN CRUZ

A California na-tive, Lt. KirstenCruz, enlisted inthe Navy in 1997as a HospitalCorpsman andlater became aNavy PhysicalTherapy Techni-cian. Ten years andfive duty stationslater, she was se-lected for the Med-ical EnlistedCommissioningProgram for Nurs-ing. Cruz obtained her bachelor’s degree in nursingfrom Jacksonville University in 2010. Her first dutyas a nurse was at U.S. Naval Hospital (USNH) Jack-sonville, Florida, where she honed her skills in ma-ternal-child nursing.Cruz arrived at USNH Naples, Italy, in August

2013. She is currently assigned to the Multi-ServiceWard where she shines as one of the most experi-enced labor and delivery nurses at the command.With a passion for maternal-child nursing, she’s fos-tering the implementation of a new program calledKangaroo or “skin to skin care.” This new methodprovides mothers who have unscheduled, non-emer-gent, cesarean section deliveries the opportunity tohold their baby, while in the operating room, imme-diately after birth. It ensures a comforting and posi-tive experience for the mother and her child. Cruzhas also facilitated cross-training opportunities,which enhances nursing readiness during emergentdelivery situations.

Road races and work as achauffeur took him to SanFrancisco where he workedfor several months as anauto salesman. After mar-rying a local girl namedMabel Hall, he moved toOregon. Early in 1910, a Portland,

Oregon, auto dealer, E.Harry Wemme, purchaseda Curtiss biplane and be-came an agent for Curtissproducts in the Northwest.Despite his enthusiasm forairplanes, Wemme wasafraid to fly, so Ely – whohad no experience in acockpit – offered to fly the

Curtiss, and promptly cra-shed the new biplane. Embarrassed by this

unexpected turn of events,Ely bought the wreck fromWemme, and within seve-ral months had repairedthe plane, and taught him-self to fly.Following numerous

flights in the Portlandarea, Ely set out for Ca-nada to do exhibition workon his own in the summerof 1910. After successfulappearances in Winnipeg,Canada, he moved backsouth to Minneapolis for aflying meet. While there,

he met Glenn Curtiss, thedesigner and builder of hisbiplane.Curtiss was impressed

with the eager young pilotand invited him join hisflying exhibition team thattoured around the county.In the fall of 1910, Navy

Capt. Washington I.Chambers was tasked to“to observe everything thatwill be of use in the studyof aviation and its in-fluence upon the problemsof naval warfare.” Realizing that if an air-

plane could be of any useto the Navy, it would haveto have the ability to takeoff and land on a ship atsea.In October 1910 Cham-

bers met Curtiss and Elyat a flying exhibition atBelmont Park, New York.Sensing these two mencould prove if flying andlanding an airplanes off aship was possible. Hemade them an irresistibleoffer: If he supplied theship, would they try aship-based takeoff? Elyquickly agreed to take onthe new venture.On November 14, 1910,

the Birmingham had beenprepared with an 80-footwooden platform on thebow. Ely’s 50 horsepower

Curtiss Pusher plane,which had been modifiedwith floats under thewings, was hoisted ontothe deck, and by noon, theship then moved a shortdistance offshore into theChesapeake Bay. Rain and fog threatened

to delay the flight, but Elypressed on.At 3 p.m. the young pilot

took off from the deck ofthe Birmingham. Witnes-ses saw the daring aviatorcoast down the “flightdeck,” drop to the bay, hitthe water with a splash,rise again, and regain alti-tude, where he flew to asafe landing two-and-a-half miles away at Willou-ghby Spit, just a few mileseast of Norfolk Naval Sta-tion.A year later, Ely’s bril-

liant career was cut shortby a tragic crash during anair demonstration at theGeorgia State Fair inMacon on October 19,1911.Although Ely was a civi-

lian, President HerbertHoover recognized the si-gnificance of Ely’s contri-bution to naval aviation byposthumously awardinghim the DistinguishedFlying Cross on February16, 1933.

Navy volunteers ap-pointed by the com-manding officer of theircommand to serve as aninformation link be-tween the commandleadership and com-mand families. Ombuds-men receive extensiveinitial training and com-mit to many hours of con-tinuing educationthroughout their tenure as acommand ombudsman. NSA Commanding Officer Capt. Douglas

Carpenter spoke about the unique historyof the Ombudsman program and its estab-lishment September 14, 1970, by then-Chiefof Naval Operations Adm. Elmo R. ZumwaltJr. Carpenter also highlighted how ombuds-men are instrumental in resolving familyissues before they require extensive com-mand attention through resource referralsand information dissemination.The theme of this year’s ombudsman event

was Mediterranean Red Coral and “A Sup-port System for Navy Life” which recog-nized the invaluable and sustaining

qualities of the program. The U.S. NavalForces Europe Band’s Woodwind Quintetperformed beautifully during the dinnerand contributed to the special atmosphereof the evening. During the awards ceremony, command

leadership presented each Ombudsmanwith a Letter of Appreciation, Cer-

tificate of Recognition, and agift to commemorate the

ENERGY CONSERVATION

Turkey day grows near.Thanksgiving is celebratedwith the gathering of our dearfriends and family to expresshow thankful we are. A com-mon tradition is the prepara-tion of a grand feast.

You can keep your walletthankful if you keep in mind theseenergy saving tips while cooking your meal:● Don’t peek! Every time the oven door is opened, the tempera-

ture inside is reduced by as much as 25 degrees, forcing it to workeven harder (and use more energy) to get back to the proper cookingtemperature. If you need to check on a dish, use the oven window in-stead.● Turn it down or turn it off. For recipes that need to bake for

longer than an hour, pre-heating the oven isn’t always necessary.And if your stovetop or oven is electric, you can usually turn it off 5-10 minutes before the dish should be done and the residual heat willfinish the job. Alternately, if you’re baking in a ceramic or glass dish,you can set your oven for 25 degrees less than the recipe calls for.Ceramic and glass pans hold heat better than metal pans.● Give your burners a break. For your stovetop to function ef-

fectively, it’s important that those reflectors stay free of dirt andgrime. If your reflectors are of the less expensive variety, next timethey need cleaning you may consider replacing them. But don’tskimp—the better reflectors on the market can not only decreasestovetop cooking times, but also save energy in the process.● Don’t neglect your small kitchen appliances. Putting them

to work more often instead of the oven or stovetop can mean signifi-cant energy savings. For example, the average toaster oven can ● Give your furnace the day off. If your next party involves a

According to the National RetailFederation and the University ofFlorida’s National Retail Secu-rity Survey, stealing by shopperscontinues to cost merchants astaggering $14.6 billion per year,and represents the secondlargest source of inventoryshrinkage. The Navy Exchange (NEX) is no

different. During 2014, NEXLoss Prevention/Safety associ-ates investigated and resolved1,192 shoplifting cases. Of thosecases, 26 percent were juvenilesand 17 percent were active dutymilitary. The merchandise de-partments that saw the mostshoplifting investigations werecomputer hardware, computerperipherals, spirits, video gamesand video electronics.“The NEX Loss

Prevention/Safety teams located

within our stores worldwide arevery good at protecting our mer-chandise fromshoplifters,” NavyExchange Serv-ice Command(NEXCOM) Cor-porate Loss Pre-vention/SafetyManager TomRuane, said. “NEXLossPrevention/Safety as-sociates use manytools in an effort toapprehendshoplifters or pre-vent theft before ithappens.”NEXs worldwide

use electronic arti-cle surveillancesystems for electronic and highvalue merchandise, as well as ex-tensive closed circuit surveil-lance systems (CCTV). TheCCTV systems, coupled with dig-

ital video recorders and remoteviewing technology, gives the

NEX the ability to seeeverything within the

store and identify inci-dents of theft.

“CCTV continues to bean extremely effective tool

in theft detection,”Ruane said. “In2014, 76 percentof our apprehen-sions werethrough theCCTV systems.However, we stillneed our cus-tomers and asso-

ciates to be alert topossible theft, andreport any suspi-cious activity to

the NEX management or theLoss Prevention/Safety man-ager.”If shoplifting is suspected, NEX

Loss Prevention/Safety associ-

ates turn all incidents over tobase police and/or local law en-forcement. In addition to possibledisciplinary action and criminalprosecution, the Federal ClaimsCollection Act allows NEX toenact a flat administrative costor civil recovery of $200 for eachincident of theft. “People involved in shoplifting

get caught, prosecuted and possi-bly banned from the NEX and, insome cases, the base itself, orend a military career,” Ruanesaid.The mission of the NEX is to

provide quality goods and serv-ices at a savings and to supportNavy quality of life programs.Seventy percent of NEX profitsgo to support Navy quality of lifeprograms, while the remaining30 percent is used to build orrenovate existing stores. InFY14, NEXCOM gave over $46million to Morale, Welfare andRecreation.

We have made it easier forveterans to convert their mili-tary skills to the civilian work-force, enabled more veteransand their family members toattain federal education bene-fits, and expanded access totimely, quality health care forall veterans. Just as every vet-eran deserves the support andbenefits they have earned,those who have given every-thing to defend our homelanddeserve a place of their own tocall home. To uphold this ideal,First Lady Michelle Obamaand Dr. Jill Biden's JoiningForces initiative has forgedpartnerships with local leaders

across America to uphold thedignity of every veteran andwork to end veterans' home-lessness. No one who fights forour country should have tofight for the care they deserve.Earlier this year, I was proudto sign the Clay Hunt SuicidePrevention for American Veter-ans Act, which fills criticalgaps in mental health care byraising awareness and takingsteps to improve access to carefor those suffering from the in-visible wounds of war.

Our veterans left everythingthey knew and loved andserved with exemplary dedica-tion and courage so we couldall know a safer America and amore just world. They have

been tested in ways the rest ofus may never fully under-stand, and it is our duty to ful-fill our sacred obligation to ourveterans and their families. OnVeterans Day, and every day,let us show them the extraor-dinary gratitude they sorightly deserve, and let usrecommit to pledging our fullsupport for them in all they do.

With respect for, and in recog-nition of, the contributions ourservice members have made tothe cause of peace and freedomaround the world, the Con-gress has provided (5 U.S.C.6103(a)) that November 11 ofeach year shall be set aside asa legal public holiday to honorour Nation's veterans.

Thursday, Nov. 19, is the American CancerSociety’s Great American Smokeout. “Our goal is to reduce tobacco use and im-

prove the health and wellness ofour nation’s military membersand their families,” CharleneRees, a registered nurse andsmoking cessation coordinator forNaval Hospital Jacksonville’sWellness Center, said.Tobacco smoke contains a deadly

mix of more than 7,000 chemicals,70 of which are known to causecancer.Tobacco use – both smoking and

smokeless – can lead to depend-ence and serious health problems.Smoking causes cancer, heart disease,stroke, lung diseases, diabetes and chronicobstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),which includes emphysema and chronic bron-chitis. Smokeless tobacco is associated withcancer of the mouth, esophagus and pan-creas, as well as heart disease and stroke.The potential long-term effects with e-ciga-

rette use are not currently known. HoweverU.S. health organizations recommend thatthey be strongly regulated or banned.Equally as bad are the effects of secondhand

smoke, which contains the same chemicalsthat a smoker inhales. Secondhand smoke

harms both adults and children; evenbrief exposure can be harmful to health.Quitting, on the other hand, provides

both short and long-term health benefits.Within 20 minutes of quitting, heart rate

and blood pressure drop. Within 12hours, carbon monoxide in the blooddrops to normal. And after one year,the excess risk of coronary heartdisease is half that of a smoker.NH Jacksonville’s Wellness Center

uses a variety of ways to help pa-tients curb tobacco use such as medica-

tion, gum, classes and counseling. Onaverage, the program sees more than 2,200patients a year across its six facilities inFlorida and Georgia, with a highly-successful30 percent quit rate at three months.For additional information visit the

Department of Defense’s www.ucanquit2.orgwebsite.

Cotton candy, clowns, trapeze artists.What’s not to love about the circus? Accord-ing to approximately 90 percent of the gen-eral public, there is one thing. Circuses have been around since ancient

Rome, when gladiators would prove theirmight in trials for the entertainment of alive audience. These trials included chariotraces, gladiatorial combat, and fights withtrained animals. In 1768 an English cavalry officer named

Philip Astley brought a show together usingacrobats, clowns and doing trained horseacts. This was the first modern circus, andsince then circuses have been traveling theworld, putting on shows, and finding newexciting things to entertain the crowds. Soon circuses began bringing in lion

tamers to awe the crowd with large cats,and elephants who were trained to performtricks. These animals were trained withnegative reinforcement, and some began tofight back, causing loss of life, injury, andoften escaping their captors. Due to influencing factors like escape inci-

dents and groups like the People for theEthical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, aninvestigation was conducted. In 2008 it wasfound that more than 70 percent of circus

animals had medical problems, and lessthan half of all big cats had access to anoutdoor enclosure. Since then, things have been changing. All

over the world countries are taking a standagainst circus animals. Many countries arenow imposing a ban on the use of wild ani-mals, and several more going as far as toban the use of all animals in circuses.The circus has been a popular, kid-friendly

attraction for decades, now many are tak-ing a step to be animal friendly too. Several circuses including Cirque Du Soleiland CirqueEloize nowtour withmind-bogglinghuman acts, de-fying the laws of physics and entertaining audiencesacross theglobe. Onething is forsure, the art ofthe circus may be changing, butit’s not disappearinganytime soon.
