Wayne Terry, of Cartersville, Ga., adjusts the solar panels on the solar powered water filtration system during a demonstration event on the capabilities of the machine, Sept. 5, at FOB Hamme.r Terry is a combat medic assigned to THE 82nd BSB, 3rd BCT, 82nd Airborne Division. By Pvt. Jared Gehmann 3rd BCT PAO BAGHDAD U.S. Paratroopers put their time and energy into learning how to set up and operate a solar-powered water filtration system at Forward Operating Base Hammer, Iraq, Sept 5. In an effort to provide a better quality of life for the citizens of Iraq s Ma dain region, Paratroopers assigned to 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Multi-National Division- Baghdad implemented a self-powered, energy efficient water filtration system to provide the area s residents clean, adequate drinking water. However, for this system to be effective, regional leaders need to be shown how it works. That is where Phoenix native, Spc. Rachael Potts, a water treatment specialist assigned to Company A, 82nd Brigade Support Battalion, came in and put her knowledge to work to show some of the region s engineers how to put the system to use. I got involved with this filtration system a few days ago while working on a reverse osmosis system, said Potts. But once I heard about this system, I wanted to see what it could do in order to help our Iraqi partners, said Potts. The solar-powered system uses a series of hoses and filters to purify brackish or dirty water in areas where clean water is limited. The Ma dain region, located on the outskirts of eastern Baghdad, is a vast, mostly desolate area were most water sources consist of dirty, mineral-filled wells. The system can treat about 6,000 gallons of water a day. Despite its size, the system is also transportable in order to provide clean drinking water to even the most remote villages in the region. So far we have 25 of these systems to place all over the Ma dain region in areas such as the towns of Narwan and Salman Pak, she said. During a demonstration of the solar-powered filtration systems capabilities to local Iraqi engineers, Potts partnered with Mr. Abbas Hassan, the chief engineer of al-nahywan Water Treatment Spc. Rachael Potts (center), of Phoenix, and Iraqi engineers discuss the process of the solar-powered water filtration system during a demonstration event on the capabilities of the machine to several Ma dain region engineers, Sept. 5, at Forward Operating Base Hammer, Iraq, located outside eastern Baghdad. Potts serves as a water treatment specialist assigned to Company A, 82nd Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Multi-National Division Baghdad. facility, to demonstrate to Hassan s fellow engineers how the system functions. The water filtration system is impressive because it solves both of the main problems we have right now, which is having access to clean water while also having a reliable power source to make the machine work and clean the water, said Hassan. Along with Potts, several combat medics assigned to the battalion s Company C, came out for the demonstration in order to receive hands-on experience with the system and witness the results of the water-cleaning process. To ensure the water was to the drinkable standard, the medics performed a series of quality assurance tests. It was amazing how much Photo by Pvt. Jared Gehmann, 3rd BCT PAO cleaner this water was after it ran through the machine, said Spc. Wayne Terry, of Cartersville, Ga. Clean water is a necessity for good health; bad water can be a leading cause of many health problems. U.S. and Iraqi leaders discussed their hopes of putting this system to use in the much-needed areas across in region in the near future. The system is also seen as a step in the right direction for the nation. We appreciate all the help the U.S. Army has given us in making our country a better place, said Hassan. As long as we keep pushing technology such as this solar- powered filtration system, I believe we will continue to accomplish our goals in rebuilding Iraq.
2 PAGE 2 September 8, 2009 Tour raises awareness of mental illness By Sgt. Joshua Risner BAGHDAD Ambassadors from the land of Hollywood visited Multinational Division Baghdad Soldiers, here, Sept. 4. The visit wasn t the typical, run of the mill, morale visit from actors and actresses. This time, the actors and actresses had an important message to bring. Their message was to raise awareness of mental illness in a tour called Stomp the Stigma. Designed as an effort to strip away the shame and other bad connotations associated with having a disease of the mind or psyche, No Kidding, Me Too!, a nonprofit organization, presented the program to help people better understand mental illnesses. No Kidding, Me Too! is an advocacy organization of celebrities to educate and to advocate the purpose of removing the stigma attached to mental illness and breaking down societal barriers, said Joe Pantoliano, actor and founder of the organization during his recent visit to Victory Base Complex. We seek to empower those with mental illness, to admit their illness and to embrace their openness to seek treatment. Pantoliano, along with fellow thespian Lisa Jay and psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Irvin, talked to Soldiers about mental illness and related their own experiences. Soldiers were invited to provide feedback on their experiences which may have contributed to a state of mental unease for them. According to Irvin, gathering feedback is an effort to better understand and treat disorders such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. The things that you experience, they are not military problems, they are human problems that happen to occur in the military, said Irvin Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Joel Quebec, Actor Joe Pantoliano talks about mental illness to Soldiers during the Stomp the Stigma tour at Division Chapel, here, Sept. 4. Pantoliano, of such fame as the Sopranos, the Matrix and others. Photo by Sgt. Joshua Risner, Pantoliano uses his own history of mental illness to relay the message of awareness and treatment.. to the assembled Soldiers. When you come home, educate us. We need to hear your stories. It will help us help you and it will also help us help other people to alleviate human suffering on all planes. Pantoliano, affectionately referred to as Joey Pants, refers to his work as a labor of love, extending from his own battle with mental illness. I m sharing my experience, my mental illness I m mentally ill, he said. Doing this, I m letting go of a little of it and it helps me to regulate my day today, dealing with my personal disease. For Jay, being able to come out and relay their message is a special treat. Right now, this is coming in a really timely fashion because it s been in the press so much lately at home and I think everybody at home wants to help this cause, she said. I know the military is especially concerned; they ve been willing to be very proactive and they obviously really care about their men and women, so it s an honor for us to be a part of this. Soldiers walked away from the presentation with a little more knowledge than they had when they came in. Having stars of stage and screen come out and relay their own battles with mental illness helped convey the message that it can happen to anybody. The ambassadors closed with a strong statement to Soldiers: don t be afraid to seek treatment because you are not alone.

4 PAGE 4 September 8, 2009 On This Day In Military History Deadly hurricane batters Texas One of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history hits Galveston, Texas, on this day in 1900, killing more than 6,000 people. The storm caused so much destruction on the Texas coast that reliable estimates of the number of victims are difficult to make. Some believe that as many as 12,000 people perished, which would make it the most deadly day in American history. Galveston Island lies just off the Texas coast. It is long and narrow, about 28 miles long by 2 miles wide, and is barely above sea level. The harbor on the bay side of Galveston was a prime port with numerous rail connections. As a major hub for trade, thousands of people settled on the island at the end of the 19th century. It was a Friday afternoon when the residents of Galveston first got an indication that a storm was imminent. For a few days the storm had been bearing down on the Texas coast, coming across the Gulf of Mexico from the Florida Keys. At the time, there was no reliable warning system in place for hurricanes; it was not until 1908 that ships began radioing the mainland about approaching storms. MND-B Pic of the day! Photo by Pvt.

Benjamin Franklin- Inventor Iraq 3-Day Weather Report Today 105 F 78 F Tomorrow 107 F 80 F Thurssday 107 F 78 F Cav Round-Up radio newscast available BAGHDAD The Cav Round- Up is a three-minute radio newscast from Baghdad covering military units and events across Multi-National Division Baghdad. Today s Cav Round-Up # 149 was produced by Sgt Erik Fardette, MND-B Public Affairs Office. The September 7 newscast includes the following two stories: TRIVIA TIME!! Before the introduction of the hair dryer in 1920, what common household appliance was promoted for its hair-drying ability? Last Issue s Answer: Stone cutting 1. Artillerymen with the big guns. Many Artillery have not touched their since they have been in Iraq. Many of the cannon crew members have been walking the streets of Baghdad.

The primary job of QA/QC is ensure the Iraqi contractors thar are hired, complete projects according to U.S. standards. NIPR LINK: Cav Round-Up SIPR LINK: Cav Round-Up Check out more news at the 1st Cavalry Division s homepage: Trigger s Teasers The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow: Every row of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order. Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order. Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9. Every Sudoku game begins with a number of squares already filled in, and the difficulty of each game is largely a function of how many squares are filled in. The more squares that are known, the easier it is to figure out which numbers go in the open squares. As you fill in squares correctly, options for the remaining squares are narrowed and it becomes easier to fill them in.
