shared his love of language
and encouraged struggling
students to find ways to express
themselves with words during
a three-day visit to Hainerberg
Elementary School April 25-27.
The popular children’s author of such books as “Hairy,
Scary, Ordinary: What is an
Adjective?” and “Slide and
Slurp, Scratch and Burp: More
About Verbs” worked with
students, teachers and parents
at the invitation of the school’s
Parent Teacher Organization.
“We had talked about this
last year,” said PTO Vice President Christine Mullin, explain-
ing that after arranging for the
author’s visit this April, Cleary
provided 45-minute workshops
for every grade and a special
session for parents and teachers
after school April 26.
“His books are well received
— he got great reviews,” Mullin said, adding that students
and teachers were “really
motivated” after hearing his
presentations.
“I’ve visited about 440
schools over the years,” said
Cleary. “This is what I ended
up with after 400 and some
odd visits.”

‘Lest we forget’
Community members help remember Holocaust victims
By Anemone Rueger
Nearly 50 volunteers from
Wiesbaden-based military
units have become part of a
unique German community
program to maintain a number
of “Stumbling Stones” commemorating Jewish lives in
Wiesbaden extinguished by
the Holocaust.
“It was the idea of our special
emphasis coordinator, Shaunna
Fuller. She put the word out in
our organization after she got
in touch with the volunteer
organization maintaining the
memorial stones,” said Col.

Members of the U.S. Army in Europe gathered at the Patrick Henry Village Theater to
listen to “Can I Kiss You,” April 26, a show
about innocent bystanders and the importance
of communication in a relationship.
The show is part of the Date Safe Project, a
program aimed at preventing sexual assault by
teaching audiences about consent, bystander
intervention and supporting the victims of
sexual assault.
“The Date Safe Project is all about helping
people have healthier, safer, smarter intimacy,”

Question about selling items
Amanda F. asked: Are there rules against selling used goods
to Germans? It seems like I read somewhere that it is unlawful
to sell items purchased in the States to the locals here. Is this
the case or am I completely mistaken?
Response: Good question Amanda. U.S. ID cardholders are
not allowed to sell used goods to Germans without a permit
to transfer, according to Anthony Holmes, customs inspector in Wiesbaden. This also applies to yard sales in military
housing areas. The Customs Office staff encourages anyone
with questions to call the office at mil 337-5188/6071 or civ
(0611) 705-5188/6071. You can also call that number for
information about obtaining a permit to transfer.
Praise for Tax Center
Jackie F., Whitney S. and Merrill P. passed on praise
for the Wiesbaden Tax Center: The staff is polite, courteous
and exceedingly accommodating. They were exceptionally
patient and understanding. Sgt. H. works extremely hard. His
customer service is outstanding and should be recognized. If
we had more people like him in the military, the world would
be a better place. This is the best tax assistance I’ve had from
various tax offices I’ve visited in Europe. … very knowledgeable and customer service friendly.
Motorcycle safety training
Andrew J. asked: Who or where can I go to to find out
details about the motorcycle safety course? When is the next
one? What equipment must I bring? And so on …
Response: Andrew, it’s great that you’re thinking about
staying safe on the German roads. Please check out the last
issue of the Herald Union (April 26, 2012) or the online
story at www.wiesbaden.army.mil/hunion/Archive/April2612/
MotorcycleSeason.htm for details on the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation courses. Thanks also to fellow Facebook contributor David B. for providing the online link to the safety
course schedules at www.imcom-europe.army.mil/webs/sites/
staff_org/safety/atstp/index.html. Don’t hesitate to call the
garrison’s Safety Office at mil 337-1670 or civ (0611) 7051670 for additional information and assistance. (Listen to
AFN-Wiesbaden, FM 98.7, for another opportunity to interact

May 18 is the annual “bike
to work” day. The League of
American Bicyclists started
National Bike to Work Day,
and the organization also
promotes Bike Week and
Bike Month during the month
of May.
For a few people who work
on Wiesbaden Army Airfield,
the day is nothing special to
them as they already ride their
bikes to work every day. I’m
on the middle road. On average, I ride a minimum of three
days per week.
If you are reading this and
have thought to yourself, “I’d
sure like to ride my bike to
work,” then come on out on
the 18th of May and give it a
try. If you are really serious
about it make an achievable
goal of riding to work a certain
number of times per week.
Why, you ask?
Riding a bike to work has a
number of benefits. The first is
that it helps you stay fit. Many
of us here need to stay fit as a
condition of our job. Bicycling
to work allows you the opportunity to include a workout
in your daily schedule while
doing something you already
have to do anyway ― get to
work.
Also, riding a bike is far
less stressful than sitting in a
car stuck in traffic. Additionally, it fights pollution. Burning fossil fuels creates carbon
dioxide, which contributes to
global warming. Automobiles
also create noise pollution.
Another reason to bike
to work is to save money.
Maintenance costs for your
automobile will decrease, as
will your gas bill.
You will also enjoy your
commute and arrive at work
refreshed.
On the
way home,
you’ll burn
off endof-the-day
stress.
Commuting under
your own
p o w e r
gives you
a sense
of accomplishment. Take
the longer
way home
and enjoy
the scenery or ignore the scenery and get a harder workout.
Now that I’ve mentioned
some of the benefits, let’s look
at some of the top reasons
people use for not riding a
bike to work.
One I hear a lot is that there
is nowhere to shower. Admittedly, that can be problem, but
you can go to the gym and
shower. I also recommend that
you ride to work at a moderate
pace to stay dry and cool.
Another concern is clothing. Whether you have to wear
a uniform or a suit, you could
keep multiple uniforms or
business attire at work. You
could also use the dry cleaner
on base or carry a change of
clothes in a backpack.
As for the excuse of no bike
parking being available, look
around for a storage closet in
your office space that is not
used and try to get the key for
it. Approach your command
about the possibility of getting
a bike rack. If you are lucky
enough to have an office to
yourself, store the bike there.
It makes for an interesting
conversation piece.

bike to get to work, think
about the risks that are associated with cycling. To reduce
some of these risks you should
plan a route that takes you on
less traveled roads to work.
Choose clothing that makes
you visible to motorists. Use
lights both front and back
during hours of low or limited
visibility. Check to ensure
your bike is mechanically
sound. The most important
tip I can impart is to wear a
helmet.
I hope that some of you
who have thought about the
possibility of riding to work
will take the opportunity to
do so. Who knows, maybe
you will be inclined to make
it a regular practice. For others
who cannot ride to work due
to distance, health considerations or simple lack of desire
I hope that after you have read
this you get a new appreciation
for cyclists with whom you
share the road.
Think of it this way. For
every WAAF employee who
rides a bike to work you have
more spaces available to park
and less people in front of you
in the entrance lines.

Corporation talked about different ways to encourage students to develop their creative writing skills.
Using ideas such as verb trains (verbs ending with
the same letter as the start of the next), flowers (a
noun surrounded by adjective petals), acrostics, personification, sensory poems, alliteration, word wells,
palindromes and anagrams, Scary shared stories of
how he developed his own craft and examples of
student creativity during his workshops.
“One thing I found with kids — it forces them to
see how words are constructed,” he said, sharing a
couple of lengthy personal favorite palindromes —
“Go hang a salami; I’m a lasagna hog” and “A man,
a plan, a canal, Panama.”
“When I was about 10 I knew that I would be
an author when I grew up. I also had the instinct to
know I’d have to find ways to combat writer’s block,”
Cleary said.
The Lakewood, Ohio, native told his listeners that
most people resist the urge to write poetry because
they approach it from too broad a point of view.
“One of the things people don’t like about poetry
is they don’t know how to get started,” he said.
Using rules, items, objects and traditions for
example to describe where a person is from or personification to develop metaphors are ways to get the
creative juices flowing, Cleary said.
“Poetry is about your experience and your truth,”
he added.
During a question-and-answer session following
the presentation, Cleary described his efforts in first
getting a book published. “My story is unusually lucky.
It was only my 12th attempt,” he said, explaining that
he was successful the 12th time out after being advised
“to start with the places that paid more money.”
His first book was sold in 1993 and published in
1996.
“The day I got that box of books was very exciting.
“You can be brilliant and talented and still remain
unpublished,” Cleary said, explaining that selling one’s
work is work in itself. “You have to be a real hustler.
You have to be willing to do very difficult things.”
Having shared his creative approach with hundreds
of schools across the United States, this was Cleary’s
first time teaching in an overseas school, he said.

a stand-up comedy into his routine.
“I loved his show,” Sgt. 1st Class Maria Mizcles, senior human resource sergeant for NATO in Heidelberg.
“This shows people how to have the courage to step
forward and take control of a situation before a sexual
assault happens.”
While in college, Dormitrz received a phone call
from his mother; she told him his sister had been sexually assaulted. The event made Domitrz compelled to
spend a majority of his time and effort on educating
the public on sexual assault awareness.
“After my sister was raped I wanted to change
the discussion on how people were discussing rape,”
Domitrz said. “We wanted to make it pertinent to
people’s everday lives and how they have their relationships.”
After the sexual assault against his sister, Domitrz
decided to not only speak up about sexual assault;
he decided to motivate others to make a change.
Ever since, Domitrz has been traveling the country
conducting one-hour programs
teaching safe-dating habits with an
emphasis on communication and
mutual respect. He has been speaking about the subject for more than
20 years and touring for the past
10 years.
“Sexual assault is a society-wide
issue,” Domitrz said. “Whether I
am speaking at a college campus, at
a middle school, high school or the
U.S. military, all ages, we need to
discuss verbal respect for partners,
decision making and boundaries.”

Project and presenter for “Can I Kiss You.” “We work
to reduce sexual assault and we also provide support
for survivors.”
Domitrz is the author of a book called “May I Kiss
You,” a how-to book on relationships, and is the editor
of “The Voices of Survivors,” a compilation of stories
written by survivors of sexual assault. His show, while
on an installation, is geared toward making people
aware of how it can affect service members and units
when someone is a victim of a sexual assault.
“We have three main missions when we are on an
installation; we teach how we can verbally communicate for consent, how to intervene when somebody is
using alcohol to facilitate a sexual assault, and how
to support survivors,” Domitrz said. “What is unique
about our program is that it is fully integrated for
single and married people.”
Even though Domitrz’s show has a serious message
to convey to his audience, he does so by mixing a bit

of the Defense Contract Management Agency.
Together with volunteers of DCMA; 5th Signal
Command; Corps of Engineers, Europe District; and
other units, he got on his knees to scrub the bronzecovered cobblestones inserted on the walkways of
houses where Jewish citizens of Wiesbaden lived
until they were deported to concentration camps during World War II. The stones carry the name of the
former resident with birth and deportation dates and
the name of the camp.
“I do this out of a fascination with
history, out of a sorrow for this part
of history and out of a feeling that we
should do more to preserve the memory
of those lives that were destroyed,” said
Tarcza. “I also think it’s important for
the American community to partner
with the German community, and this
is a meaningful way to do that.”
Members of his unit plan to adopt several stones
located in side streets in the vicinity of their offices
at the Amelia Earhart building for quarterly upkeep.
“I thought this is a great opportunity and fits right
in with the Days of Remembrance observed in April,”
said Sgt. 1st Class James Bonner of 5th Signal Com-
mand, who organized the unit’s participation.
Maj. Felicia R. Moore, the command’s inspector
general, said she felt it was important to help. “This
was a demographic of people who didn’t have a voice.”
Many of the volunteers also gathered for the laying
of a new stone for Dr. Albert Stein at Alexandra Str.
8, not far from the Amelia Earhart building. Stein was
deported to Auschwitz on June 10, 1943, where he died.
Gudrun Schirmer, who lived in the same house
as a little girl, placed a white rose on the stone she
adopted in a small ceremony held May 2. Research
on Stein’s fate and those of 16 other
Jewish Wiesbaden citizens, for whom
memorial stones were placed the same
day, was conducted by volunteers of
the Aktives Museum Spiegelgasse,
located at Spiegelgasse 11 in Wiesbaden. More information is available
on the museum’s website at www.amspiegelgasse.de.
The “Stumbling Stones” or “Stolpersteine” as
they are called in German, were initiated by Artist
Gunter Demnig in the early 1990s, 50 years after
the Nazi regime’s decision to deport Jews, Sintis,
Romas and other citizens to the death chambers of
the concentration camps.

Engineers minimize impact of new housing area
By Chrystal Smith
When engineers learned of
the plan to build Wiesbaden
Army Airfield’s new housing
area, they knew something
would have to be built to handle
the impact the neighborhood
would have on the environment
downstream.
The construction of Kaesbach Creek and Rain Water
Retention Basin was the environmental compensation
measure made to control erosion
and prevent overflowing of the
Main River bed.
When natural land is covered
by concrete and construction,
more runoff water is generated
because it’s no longer being
naturally absorbed into the
earth, said Gordon Adam, envi-
ronmental technician with U.S.
Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s
Environmental Division, while
hosting a field trip for Wiesbaden Elementary fifth-graders
at the creek and water retention
basin April 26.
“The existing line system
was already calculated for a
specific amount of water, so an
additional retention area was
needed to handle the expected
increase that would come,” said
Dieter Fries, USAG Wiesbaden
Sanitation Branch chief.
The rainwater retention
basin, located in the south of
the housing area, was designed
to retain approximately 3.5-4
million gallons or 12,000 cubic
meters of water to compensate
for rainfall activity over five
years.
“Its hydraulic capacity takes
into consideration approximately how much water could
arrive in a five-year period with
a significant rainfall event,” said
Alex Sabais, an environmental
consultant to the garrison’s
Environmental Division.
The retention basin also
features in its design a sludge
facility that captures sediments
such as sand and dirt and allows
only the water to flow out to the
creek. Its basin is lined with special plant life that can withstand
and thrive in waterlogged areas.
It is also devised so that on a
normal day of rain no more than
300 liters of water per second
are allowed to flow out.
Additionally, the reed bed at
the creek’s edge was re-naturalized to cause water to flow
gently down the stream. The
land is strategically sculpted

effectiveness will be proven

“We haven’t yet had a situation at the moment that has
determined that it’s got to be
more or less,” said Adam.

dumps into the Main River near

specialists boast of its overall
design, it is yet a little while

hands visible.
Hide out: P Hide in an area out of the active shooter’s view;
P Lock doors and block entry to your hiding place.
Take action: P As a last resort; P Only when your life is in
imminent danger; P Attempt to incapacitate the active shooter.
When the police arrive: P Try to remain calm; P Obey all
police instructions; P Put down any items in your hands such
as backpacks, phones, jackets; P Raise your hands, spread your
fingers and keep hands visible to police at all times; P Avoid quick
or sudden movements (avoid pointing, screaming or yelling); P
Do not stop to ask officers for help or directions while evacuating.

Girl, Cub Scouts clean up Wetzel
By Ignacio “Iggy” Rubalcava
U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder
It was dirty work but Baumholder’s
Girl and Cub Scouts stepped up to the
challenge and got the job done. As
part of Earth Day activities, the scouts
worked together with the Directorate of
Public Works Environmental Division
to clean up the wetland area near the
lower Wetzel gate and portions of lower
Wetzel Housing.
“It was a great initiative that helped
to raise the environmental awareness at
the garrison and we agreed that garbage
collection was relevant and important to
protecting the environment,” said Timo
Klipstein, environmental engineer.
The older scouts collected everything
from discarded tires and bicycles to a
rusty old bed in the wetland area while
the younger ones policed lower Wetzel
Housing.
“Garbage is both an aesthetic and
ecological problem. First, we do not
want to share our living environment
with waste thrown away by people.
Second, most of the garbage is petroleum based and cannot decompose. It
cannot be included in the ecological
nutrient cycle and can be harmful to the
ecosystem,” said Klipstein.
“The event was a great success and
I am proud of the boys and girls. They
were very engaged in removing garbage
from the swards and wetland areas. They
managed to collect about five cubic
meters of garbage in only one hour. I
heard some of them even continued the
next day,” said Klipstein.
Taking care of the environment is not
just for the professionals like Klipstein or
other DPW employees. It is everyone’s
responsibility to properly dispose of
their refuse, officials said.
The U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder
has placed much emphasis in protecting the environment. The garrison’s
Go Green program is a prime example.
Separate containers for glass, metal,
paper and regular garbage have been
placed throughout the community’s
housing areas, the cantonment area and
in office spaces.
Recycling containers also show up
at community events such as the recent
170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team
welcome home celebration.
“The scouts were well organized.
They tackled the task and achieved good
results. Most of them had lots of fun and
did not mind pulling garbage out of the
mud,” said Klipstein.
If you want to help save the planet,
start in your home and where you work.
Follow the garrison’s recycling plan
and separate your glass, metal, paper
and regular trash and place them in the
appropriate containers. Don’t leave it up
to the Girl and Cub Scouts to do your
dirty work.

Garrison recognizes its top volunteers
By Karl Weisel
The Wiesbaden military
community took time out to pay
tribute to its volunteers with a
luncheon and Volunteer of the
Year Ceremony at the Little
Italy Restaurant and Catering
Center April 26.
“What an honor it is to be a
member of such a supportive,
caring and cohesive community,” said Candice Lane, family
readiness support assistant for
V Corps’ Headquarters and
Headquarters Battalion. “The
community thrives because of
you — our volunteers.”
Quoting President Barack
Obama, Lane read, “Our nation
has been profoundly shaped by
ordinary Americans who have
volunteered their time and energy to overcome extraordinary
challenges. Our nation has
always been at its best when
individuals have come together
to realize a common vision.
“During National Volunteer
Week we pay tribute to all those
who give of themselves to
keep America strong, and we
renew the spirit of service that
has enriched our country for
generations. That spirit lives on
today in countless acts of service
around our country.
“I encourage every American to stand up and play their
part — to put their shoulders
up against the wheel and help
change history’s course.”
“From April 1, 2011, through
March 31, 2012, the volunteers
in the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden volunteered 68,747.90
hours,” said Jan Meert, Army
Community Service director.
“The extent of the dedication,
commitment and talents of each
volunteer is truly immeasurable.”
Citing some of the other statistics compiled by Wiesbaden
volunteer managers — that 8
percent of the total garrison
population volunteers, that
some $1.4 million in services
were contributed thanks to
their efforts, that more than
1,400 people regularly dedicate
their time and talents — Dr.
Robert Kandler, deputy to
the commander, said the real
contributions of volunteers are
immeasurable.
“You’re changing lives every day,” Kandler said. “You’re
affecting people’s lives, and by
God, we are grateful that you
are here. Volunteers make Wiesbaden and the world a better
place in which to live.”
As Dr. Robert Schloesser
read off the names of the nominees in each category, the men,
women and children recognized

efforts were invited up to the

“Winning was very unexpected,” said Cousens. “I just thought it

The self-taught drummer, pianist and guitar player said he was
looking forward to the trip to San

he said, adding that the Boy and

“I’m also really thankful for

Cousens said.
Lynch said in addition to playing their cover of “Nothing Else

asked to learn “The Star Spangled
Banner” and might perform other
songs. She added that she was really looking forward to training
with professionals in the business.

That’s what members of the U.S.
Forces Europe communities were
treated to April 21 in Heidelberg’s
Village Pavilion during the 2012
Tournament of Plays Awards Show.
After an evening that showcased
the best on Broadway and local
military community stages, Wiesbaden’s Amelia Earhart Playhouse
and Baumholder’s Hilltop Theater
were recognized with a total of 19
of the coveted Topper statuettes
honoring outstanding work both on
and off stage.
“We knew we did our best and had

“We were hoping we would do
well,” said Rebekah Ankrom-Baker,
Hilltop Theater’s music director. “We
had a great set.”
Ankrom-Baker lauded the outstanding performances by Navo and
Magnum and the award-winning
backstage efforts by Baumholder’s
theater volunteers. “My theater would
never run without volunteers,” she
said, adding that people of all ages
contribute to the theater’s success
— the youngest being a 3-year-old in
“Seussical” and the oldest an actor in
“his early 70s” in “The Music Man.”
She also praised the annual
Tournament of Plays, hosted by the
Installation Management CommandEurope.
“I think it’s a great program. It’s
great to see all of these performers
who love music and theater coming
together,” Ankrom-Baker said. “I
hope it continues in the future.”
Baumholder’s Hilltop Theater
features its production of “Alice in
Wonderland” May 10-13 and 17-20.
“It’s an all children’s show — all 66
of them,” the music director said,
adding, “Our community has so
many Families, it’s nice to see them
involved.”
The Hilltop is also holding auditions for its upcoming production of
“Boardwalk Murder Mystery” May
14-15 at 7 p.m.
“Come out and volunteer. Be brave
and audition or volunteer to work
behind the scenes,” Ankrom-Baker
said. “We always welcome people.”
Wiesbaden’s Amelia Earhart Playhouse is rehearsing for its upcoming
production of the “tender-hearted
comedy” — “The Boys Next Door.”
“It will open the first weekend in
June and run for three weekends – Friday, Saturday and Sunday,” said Carr,
explaining that performances are at
7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays,
and at noon on Sundays.

upcoming productions or to get

Staying in shape
How parents can exercise while spouses are away
By Wendy Brown
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public
Affairs Office
Finding time to get exercise can be a
challenge under normal circumstances,
but if you have children and your spouse
is deployed, it can be even tougher.
That’s all it is though ― a challenge ― and it is one parents can easily
overcome.
Here are five ways parents can get
exercise while their spouse is deployed:
P The Wiesbaden Fitness Center has
a parent and child workout room where
children can play and watch television
while a parent works out. The room has
four treadmills, five elliptical machines,
free weights, a mat area and more, said
Dave Sturman, fitness coordinator at the
center. “This room is way needed,” he
said. “If we could expand it, it would
be better.”
Not only is the room popular with
mothers, but with fathers as well, Sturman said. Men who might be reluctant
to try it out for fear of being the only guy
there should not be concerned.
The room is located on the second
floor on the left hand side next to the
running track. It is important to note that
parents are not allowed to work out with
children strapped into strollers next to
them, Sturman said.
The fitness center is open Monday
through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10
p.m., and on Saturday, Sunday, U.S.
holidays and U.S. Army Europe training
days from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
P If your child won’t cooperate at
the parent and child workout room or
you’d prefer to work out without having to keep one eye on a child, there are
other options. While babysitters can get
expensive, starting a babysitting swap
with friends is a possibility. If you live
in Army housing, the close proximity
of neighbors can make it easy. There
are also several websites that can offer
advice on how to run a babysitting swap.
P Parents with a deployed spouse
can qualify for up to 16 hours of free
hourly care a month per child, said
Farideh Kastens, director of outreach
services for Child, Youth and School
Services.
After a parent has used the 16 hours
for a month, every hour after costs only
$2, Kastens said. That is $2 less an hour
than the usual rate.
Free hourly care is available for children who are as young as six weeks old or
Sports shorts
Volleyball Championships
Sports hosts the Garrison Volleyball
Championships May 13-16 at the
Wiesbaden Fitness Center. Play
begins at 6 p.m. each day. This is
the final tournament for unit-level
volleyball teams in Wiesbaden. Call
Kevin Ringgold at mil 337-5379 for
more information.
Fallen Soldier Memorial
Run
People take advantage of the fitness machines and other equipment at
the Wiesbaden Fitness Center.
as old as in the fifth grade, Kastens said.
The garrison’s Child Development
Center is located on Wiesbaden Army
Airfield, and the garrison has School
Age Centers on both the airfield and in
Hainerberg Housing, Kastens said.
To take advantage of the offer, parents
must first register with CYSS and make
sure a copy of the deployment orders
is on file.
The hours can become booked up
quickly; however, so Kastens recommends that parents reserve time as far in
advance as possible. Parents are able to
reserve time up to 30 days in advance,
she said.
For parents who want to use the
hourly care for workout time, it would
be a good idea to figure out set times
during the week to work out, every
Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to
noon, for example, and then schedule
the hourly time well in advance.
P Home gym equipment makes it
possible to work out any time that is
convenient ― before the children wake
up in the morning, during naptime or
while they’re otherwise occupied and
within eyesight.
The AAFES sporting goods store
on Mainz-Kastel Storage Station has
a variety of home gym equipment for
sale. Stationary bikes range in price
from $299.99 to $999.99; elliptical
machines from $399 to $999; treadmills
from $499.99 to $899.99, and weight
systems from $399 to $199, according to
Air Force Lt. Col. Hector Jamili, deputy
commander of AAFES Europe.
Be aware, however, that even though
the equipment comes boxed, it might not
fit in your car. AAFES does have delivery
available for a fee. The equipment must
also be assembled.
Another factor to keep in mind is
safety. Children love to play on treadmills and elliptical machines, but can be
easily injured on them, so it is important
to keep them in a safe place.
P For people who don’t want to
plunk down hundreds of dollars for a
piece of home gym equipment, there are
other options. A jump rope, for example,
costs $5.99 at the PX sporting goods
store and can be done almost anywhere
at any time. It also provides a great
cardio workout.
In addition, Leander “Lee” Townsend,
a fitness specialist at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center, said he would be happy
to meet with spouses and talk about
exercises they can do at home.
Often, the only pieces of equipment
necessary are dumbbells and a chair,
Townsend said.
He would prefer to speak to a group
of five or more spouses, Townsend said,
but he would never turn away a spouse
who had questions to ask him.
When it comes to workout videos for
the home, Townsend said he can often
show spouses a workout routine that
would work just as well, but a simple
Internet search would bring up plenty
of suggestions.
For parents of small children, another
way to get exercise at “home” is to simply
put the child in a stroller and go for a
walk. Running strollers are another way
to get a great, inexpensive workout at
any time that is convenient.
Youths and adults are invited to
Baumholder’s Fallen Soldier Memorial Run May 18 at the Mountaineer
Fitness Center. Registration is at
7:30 a.m. and the race starts at 9
a.m. Commemorative T-shirts will be

cost to run.

STEMposium confronts disaster
Students solve nuclear waste problem with robots
By Wendy Brown
A group of 90 students from Department of Defense Dependents Schools
throughout Europe met for six days in
Oberwesel to take on a tough project.
They were there to save the world.
It was the first-ever Europe STEMposium, and from April 22-27 the
students used their engineering skills
to try and solve a problem that involved
an earthquake, flooding and stored
nuclear fuel rods about to overheat.
The symposium’s motto was, “Confront
Disaster… Engage Your Mind… Save
the World.”
Frank Pendzich, instructor of engineering technology at Wiesbaden High
School, organized the event, which took
place at the Jugendgästehaus overlooking the Rhein River. STEM stands for
Science, Technology, Engineering and
Math, and organizations encouraging
students to study those subjects frequently use the acronym.
Five students from Wiesbaden attended, and like students from other
schools, none of them were allowed
to be on the same team, Pendzich said.
The idea was for students to meet
new people and learn how to work
well with people with whom they are
unfamiliar, Pendzich said.
For Ashley Barclift, a freshman from
Wiesbaden who won a second-place
engineering award and was on the team
that came in first place, meeting new
people at the symposium was the best
part about the symposium. Her twin
sister Alexis Barclift also said she enjoyed collaborating with students from
other schools.
Ashley, who started building robots
in seventh grade and plans to be a robotics engineer, won her award for a robot
designed to turn on a control switch to
power that would turn on the cooling
system for stored nuclear fuel rods.
Martin Hurst, a sophomore from
Wiesbaden who won a first-place engineering award, said he knew going
into the event that he wanted to be an
engineer, but now he is leaning toward
becoming a robotics engineer.
“It was a great experience all
around,” Hurst said.
Each team had a student acting
as a bio technical engineer, a nuclear
engineer, robotics engineer, an environmental engineer, a green technology
engineer and a geophysics engineer,
Pendzich said.
Matthew Garcia, a junior from
Wiesbaden, said he also plans to be
an engineer, and the symposium was a
good way to learn about the different
job fields. It was also a great experience
to work on a realistic problem, he said.
“It gave us a chance to feel like real
engineers,” Garcia said.
Hunter Lunasin, a freshman from
Wiesbaden, said he liked working
on a team with other students on the
problem. “Knowing that the scenario
could happen, I was scared, but it felt
good to know there are people who can
solve the problems,” he said.
Pendzich said he has learned from
his years as a teacher that when education is relevant and engaging, students
become capable to performing much
more difficult work.
About 45 adults also participated
in the event, Pendzich said. Each team
had an adviser, and five experts in various engineering fields helped facilitate
discussions and work with the students,
he said.
The students received hints about
the possible disaster they would
have to work on before the event,
Pendzich said, but did not know the
exact scenario.
During the week, in addition to
handling the disaster, students attended
hands-on seminars that targeted various areas of engineering and science,
Pendzich said.
Ashley Barclift, a freshman at Wiesbaden High School, won a secondplace engineering award for robotics and was on the first-place
STEMposium team.
In addition, representatives from the
U.S. Air Force demonstrated weather,
disaster response, and robotics technology, Pendzich said.
Students also went on study trips
to the European Space Agency, Juwi
Energy Park and the Koblenz River
Locks, Dam and Fish Pass, Pendzich
said. And if that wasn’t enough, each
evening the students listened to a guest
speaker on STEM careers.
Pendzich said he hopes to hold a
STEMposium again next year.
Michael Jimenez of Baumholder, Hannah Leese of Alconbury, England,
and Brittany Arenivas of Bamberg present their solutions to problems
caused by a natural disaster scenario on the final day of the STEMposium
held at the Jugendgästehaus in Oberwesel.
