us (U.S. military or host

everything on our own,
so it’s important to know
how each other operates.”
Trabucco explained
that in an emergency

how to work together to

Commentary
A Summer Hire
and her notepad
By Katrina Gluth
Special to the Herald Union
“Hey — you’re the girl from the
Herald Union, right?” was a phrase
I heard often in my six weeks of
working for the Wiesbaden Public
Affairs Office.
Originally my plans for the summer, had I not worked for Summer
Hire, were to have enjoyed a continuous game of rock-paper-scissors with
my roommates on whose turn it was
to clean the apartment and working
my boring, regular job at the factory.
Needless to say, I had some time to
fill and there was cash to be earned.
In the beginning, waking up at 5:40
a.m. to get to the office by 7:30 a.m.
seemed daunting, but I wish now it
wouldn’t have to end.
My time working at the garrison’s
Public Affairs Office has been a great
experience in many ways. Being shy I
was forced out of my shell to conduct
interviews, attend and observe events
and bug community members about
filling out information surveys.
I made some big and small friends
at School Age Services, was kicked
out of the Post Office, personally
met Spiderman and had a moment in
the limelight each week as I voiced
the “Things To Do” on AFN Radio.
What may have been the best part
of my Summer Hire experience is the
feeling of community.
Darmstadt has been my home
since 2001, and when the base closed
in 2008 I became an American truly
stranded among Germans, especially since the empty bases remain
untouched and a symbol of former
times for Darmstadt.
However, thanks to Summer Hire
I have a newfound energy and interest in the Wiesbaden community.
I’ve come to realize what a great
base this is, as well as recognizing
the potential it has to be even better.
Thanks to the work the Public
Affairs Office sent me out to do, I
also know all the opportunities and
places to volunteer. (Katrina Gluth,
a senior in college, worked at the
garrison’s Public Affairs Office as
a Summer Hire employee.)

Security concerns
BJ F. commented — I am getting
frustrated that military families who
live in military housing such as Crestview, Hainerberg and Aukamm here in
Wiesbaden do not feel safe. You have
people breaking into cars, others going
around and taking pictures of windows
and such, and now you have German
kids at the park in Crestview hanging
out in dark clothes so you won’t be able
to see them. Plus the fact that they have
no respect at all and pee wherever they
want to. … Supposedly you guys say we
should feel safe, but how can you feel
safe when anyone is allowed to come into
housing anytime they want to. It’s not
fair to all of us who have to live in these
housing areas to have to put up with it.
I was told the MPs would be patrolling
every hour around housing, but I have
yet to see that. I think something should
be done to help the military families
that have to be overseas feel safe where
they live. I don’t feel safe living here.
I am pretty sure there are a lot of other
people who feel the same way as I do
and I hope something gets done to make
us feel better about living here.
Response: BJ, I am sorry that you
feel that way about living overseas. I
think most of us view it as a wonderful opportunity. Regardless, I want
to reassure you that the host nation
and U.S. military police forces are
doing everything they can to keep you
and your Family safe while living in
Wiesbaden. Petty street crime is not
unique to Germany. We have caught
both Americans and Germans committing these crimes in our housing areas.

are in their culture so we must deal with
it. We can only control our own personal
space within the home. A possible disclaimer would be the best thing to do,
but I object to taking down an activity
that many might find fun for families
because it assaults the senses of some
individual. If you are going to start that,
then I guess you should be taking down
lots of things. For example, there is a

Phishing scam alert
The U.S. Army Regional Computer Emergency Response Team-Europe warns all computer
users that a series of phishing emails containing
a malicious .zip attachment has been making the
rounds. The phishing email attempts to entice the
reader into opening the attachment to find out the
details of a potential traffic ticket. Subject lines
range from “Speed limit violation camera shot” to
“You have to pay your speed limit violation ticket
within 21 days.” Computer users are warned to
delete these emails immediately, to never open
the attachments and to not reply to such messages.
For more information call mil 380-5232.
USAREUR to return facilities
U.S. Army Europe will return the San Gottardo
Signal Site near Vicenza, Italy, and part of Wiesbaden’s
Crestview Housing to the host nations in 2012.
The small site in Italy was formerly used by signal
units for radio retransmission and training in the past,
but is now excess. The site is about 4,400 square meters,
with a fence and a concrete pad for vehicle parking.
The partial return of Crestview Housing entails
eight buildings which are outside the housing area
fence line. They are separate from the rest of the
housing aera and have not been used for several years.
There are no military or civilian positions associ-
ated with the return of either return.
The returns are part of USAREUR’s ongoing
campaign to seek cost savings and more effective and
efficient operating procedures wherever possible. In
recent years USAREUR has divested more than 570
sites, including caserns and housing areas, as well
as isolated radio and radar positions. By 2015 USAREUR expects to return four more major garrisons
(Heidelberg, Mannheim, Bamberg and Schweinfurt)
consisting of 33 sites, providing more than $300 million in annual savings — all without Base Realignment
And Closure funding. (USAREUR Public Affairs)

At lake near Baumholder
Wounded warrior ride to be held Aug. 4
Service members from the U.S. Army in Europe
and partner nations, along with local community
members, interested in supporting injured service
members are invited to participate in the Wounded
Warrior Project’s community ride at Lake Bostalsee
in Nohfelden on Aug. 4.
The community ride is the culmination of the
four-day event in which wounded warriors from the
European theater participate in rides that allow them
to continue to rebuild their confidence and strength in
a supportive environment. It also provides wounded
warriors the opportunity to promote their positive
message of recovery while encouraging community
members to ride alongside, support from the route
sidelines or volunteer to assist with the event.
The Soldier Ride in Germany, a WWP program, is
supported by the European Regional Medical Command’s Warrior Transition Battalion-Europe and aims
to provide rehabilitative cycling opportunities to help
wounded warriors from the U.S. and partner nations
restore their physical and emotional well-being.
Lake Bostalsee is approximately 20 miles from
Baumholder. Registration and packet pick-up opens
at 8 a.m., followed by an opening ceremony at 9 a.m.
The ride begins at 9:30 a.m. with a choice of a fivemile or 15-mile route, followed by a closing ceremony
and a community picnic.
Event coordinators are asking community members
to register online at www.woundedwarriorproject.org/
programs/soldier-ride.aspx in order to determine the
size of the crowd, but there is no charge to participate
in the event.

nice to know beforehand, but I survived and so did
my children. They also had fetuses in jars in the different stages of development. I’m sure many would
find that objectionable. In any event, if something
comes to your attention where there might be an
activity that some might find objectionable, please
make note of it but don’t keep us in the dark about
potential fun activities because of the censorship of
others. I would also think a disclaimer that you don’t
endorse anything on the things to do and it is up to
the family to decide whether or not they attend. You
can’t possibly be expected to preview every activity
(nor is that your responsibility) to determine what is
or isn’t appropriate.
Response: Thanks Bonnie for sharing your views
on the subject as well. You are right; in retrospect,
we realized we might have overreacted by simply
removing the entry that might indeed interest some
visitors. It was included again in the most recent
Things to Do newsletter with a disclaimer warning
that it might not be appropriate for younger viewers. Thanks to both of you for sharing your views
and helping us make the Things the Do offerings
as accurate as possible.

Know rules for shipping wine stateside
By Robert Szostek
U.S. European Command Customs Public Affairs Office
Many Americans start a wine collection while stationed in Europe. With some advance planning, wine
connoisseurs can still enjoy their favorite European
vintages when they move to their new stateside homes.
“First contact your Transportation Office for shipping procedures and how, if possible, to get reimbursed
for the transportation costs,” said Tim Sellman, acting
director of the U.S. European Command’s Customs
and Border Clearance Agency. He added that you will
have to pay any customs duty or tax due on the wine.
Military transportation officials may recommend
you not pack wine in personal property shipments for
fear of damage if bottles break. Transportation offices
also maintain lists of wine merchants and moving
companies that ship wine. “The company will tell you
about state restrictions on alcohol and how to pay any
tax that needs paying.” He explained that you should
ship the collection to an airport with a U.S. Customs
and Border Protection office.
After the packers pack the collection, they will
provide a shipping document and a copy of the bill
of sale/receipt for the tax and shipping costs. Find out
the shipment’s airline, flight number, date of arrival
and, most important of all, the shipping document
number before flying.
“When you arrive stateside, go to the airport’s
cargo section with the shipping documents,” Sellman
explained. “They will give you additional paperwork
to take to the CBP office.” He recommends people personally clear their wine collection at the port of entry
because using a customs house broker is expensive.
Customs will work out the duty and IRS tax and
stamp the customs clearance. Customs officials report
that the duty on still wine is currently 8.4 cents per
liter, but goes up to 19.8 cents for sparkling wine.
Duty can be as little as 3.5 cents for vermouth. IRS
tax depends on the alcoholic strength of the beverage concerned and works out to around six cents per
liter for wine. However, these rates of tax and duty
are subject to change.
“Take your customs clearance back to the cargo
section where the collection is released to you,” Sellman concluded.
Sellman pointed out that the U.S. Postal Service
does not allow mailing wine, and express shipping
companies are usually unwilling to ship wine. Some
airlines, however, will allow small collections to be
checked as excess baggage for a fee.
Call a military customs office to find out more about
shipping liquor products or consult the Alcohol and
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau website at www.ttb.
gov/importers/personal_importation.shtml.

USAG Wiesbaden gets new senior NCO
By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden
Public Affairs Office
The Wiesbaden military community
welcomed Command Sgt. Maj. Sa’eed
A. Mustafa during a luncheon on Clay
Kaserne July 26.
Mustafa, who last served as the
command sergeant major of the 123rd
Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade
Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, in
Fort Bliss, Texas, took over the senior
enlisted leader slot at U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden this month following
the departure of Command Sgt. Maj.
Hector Prince in May.
“Command Sgt. Maj. Mustafa
comes to us with a huge amount of
experience,” said Col. David Carstens,
USAG Wiesbaden commander, during
the luncheon in the Community Activity Center.
Citing Mustafa’s deployment in
leadership positions during Operations
Desert Storm, Restore Hope, Iraqi
Freedom and New Dawn, and wealth
of experience while serving all over the
United States and in Korea, Carstens
said he was looking forward to the new
command sergeant major’s assistance
in enhancing critical support within
Wiesbaden to better serve Soldiers and
their Families.
Among challenges Carstens said he

talks at the Technology Fair July 20.
With the Army looking to cut $1
billion from its information technology
budget, major changes are on the way
for 5th Signal Command over the next
three years.
For that reason, Nathan Muncy,
chief of enterprise systems and applications branch at 5th Signal Command,
briefed a group of 30 technology industry officials about those changes during
a Technology Fair at the Wiesbaden
Fitness Center July 20.
Col. Bruce Crawford, 5th Signal
commander, thanked everyone for
attending the talk and said his door is
open if anyone wanted to talk to him
about the issues.
The Army’s goal is to close 75

during a July 20 ceremony
that also honored the service
of outgoing commander, Col.
Sam McAdoo.
Sullivan took command
from McAdoo, who served as
the garrison commander since
2010. McAdoo departs for an
assignment at Fort Gordon, Ga.
where he will serve as the chief
of concepts, requirements and
developments division.
McAdoo thanked Soldiers,
civilians, host nation employees and host nation civilians
and leaders during his farewell
speech. “To the directors and
chiefs and other civilian leaders,
it’s been my distinct pleasure
to have been on your team. If
I have learned anything from

respect for your professionalism in an ever changing

not only for your service to the

and relationship that we have.

Sullivan received his Army
commission in the infantry in
1994 from the United States
Military Academy. His most
recent assignment was as the

Army Achievement Medal
with three oak leaf clusters,
the Combat Action Badge,
the Expert Infantry Badge, the
Parachutist Badge and the Air

In his incoming speech,
Sullivan paid special note to
the foundation of Baumholder
— its people. “In the short time
we’ve been here we’ve quickly
found out that we not only like
the facilities here; we love the
people in the community. As
you all know it’s the people
that make a community, that
make a service, and it’s the
people that are the strength of
our Army. … We’ve quickly
learned Baumholder is full of
great people everywhere.”
Sullivan takes command
during a time when the gar-
rison is focusing its efforts on
supporting the departure and
deactivation of the 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team while
accommodating new incoming
units. When the transformation
is complete, Baumholder’s population is expected to be about
half of what is was previously.
During a garrison personnel
assembly a week before his
change of command McAdoo
assured garrison personnel that
all existing services would remain operational. There may be
a cutback in hours of operation
for some “front door” services
but there will be no closures,
according to McAdoo.
The USAG Baumholder has
also recently become an indirect
reporting garrison to U.S. Army
Garrison Baden-Württemberg.
In about one year, the garrison
will again realign under the U.S.
Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
as an indirect reporting garrison
when the Kaiserslautern garrison becomes a direct reporting
garrison.

BOSS receives donation from German-American club
By Ignacio “Iggy” Rubalcava
U.S. Army Garrison Baumholder Public Affairs Office
The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers organization, known for its generous contributions to the
Baumholder community in the form of volunteering
to assist in almost every special event, received a
contribution itself from the German American International Women’s Club of Kaiserslautern.
Wanda Wirthlin, a member of the Kaiserslautern
club presented BOSS coordinator, Catherine Dubosc,
with a check for €250.
The club holds an annual flea market, known as
the Pfennig Bazaar, to raise money and then donates
the profits to agencies in the Kaiserslautern and
Baumholder communities. “It is a flea market of a
very special kind. We call it the largest flea market
— and it is considered the largest — in southwestern
Germany,” said Wirthlin.
The German American International Women’s
Club was actually started in 1956 by the Heidelberg
Officer’s Wives Club and has chapters in almost all
the major U.S. communities in Germany. “The purpose of this club is to bond Germans and Americans,
and it has been very successful. A lot of longlasting
relationships have been established. Members who
have left Germany and then return several years later
for a visit often stay with German members of the
club, so these relationships are truly longlasting,”
said Wirthlin.
The club holds its Pfennig Bazaar each year in
March and this year the club held its 51st bazaar and
raised about €30,000, all of which was donated to
agencies such as the Fischer House in Landstuhl, the
USO, American Red Cross, Vogelweh High School,
Lebens Helfe (a public German organization that
assists with rehabilitating handicapped individuals),
the ecological program of the city of Kaiserslautern
and many others.
Donating to the Baumholder BOSS program came
about as a result of suggestions from club members
who live in the Baumholder military community.
“We are open for membership,” said Wirthlin.
Anyone interested can contact Wirthlin at civ

Secure messaging service offers online medical care options
By Chuck Roberts
Landstuhl Regional Medical
Center Public Affairs
Think of Relay Health
Secure Messaging Service as
a house call from your family
doctor, but without having to
worry about tidying up the
house beforehand.
Technology has brought
back a version of patientfriendly, old-world medicine
for Baumholder Health Clinic
beneficiaries through the simple use of secure emails with
their Army health care team.
Certain types of medical
care that require a visit to a
Primary Care Manager can
now be accomplished by email
for beneficiaries registered
with Secure Messaging, to
include:
l Consulting with their
medical team about non-urgent
health matters;
l Requesting appointments
and referrals;
l Requesting prescription
renewals;
l Receiving test and laboratory results;
l Receiving guidance from
their medical team by email.
To sign up for Secure
Messaging, beneficiaries can
provide their personal email
at their primary care clinic and
they will then receive an email
invitation to join the service
within three business days. The
Secure Messaging Service is
being phased in at all LRMC
clinics in Belgium, Germany
and Italy.
Although new to Army
medicine in Europe, Secure
Messaging is currently in use
by more than 2,000 medical
providers from more than 50
sites in the United States, accounting for more than 210,000
patient messages over the past
six months.
Although beneficiaries receive a personal email letting
them know they have information awaiting them on Secure
Messaging, they use their
personal password to log into
the Secure Messaging site.
The secure site, contracted
through Relay Health, is in
compliance with the Federal
Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act and
stringently protects personal
information through encryption
technology. The Information is
only accessible by the patient
and their health care team.
Secure Messaging is also a
valuable tool for the clinics and
doctors to communicate with
the patients and remind them
of preventive services. Clinics
can easily send reminders about
immunizations, screening such
as well baby visits, medication
recalls and flu vaccine availability.
An example of a typical
patient message through Secure
Messaging would be a mother
concerned about her child who
wakes up with a rash on her
stomach.
Instead of taking the child
to the emergency room or
trying to schedule a medical
appointment, the mother could
communicate through Secure
............................................................................. Aug. 2, 2012
Messaging with a nurse or
doctor for advice on treating
the child at home and/or bringing him or her in for a medical
appointment.
Secure Messaging is popular with both beneficiaries and
medical staffers because of its
usefulness and efficiency.
“Secure Messaging is a
win-win for everyone” said
Gregory Milliger, a health care
consultant at LRMC.
“The patient can communicate with the care team between
scheduled clinic visits without
having to go into the clinic.
“Communicating with patients between clinic visits
allows doctors to focus on the
patient’s health and not just
their health care.”

Matt The Knife entertains community
Matt The Knife isn’t your
typical magician and this isn’t
your typical show.
He’s the intense performer
who’s part comedian, part
magician and part mind reader
— all jam-packed into one wild,
unforgettable person.
He’s coming to Baumholder
Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. at the Rheinlander Community Club. The
show is free to all.
Matt has thrilled audiences
in 17 countries, across four
continents and has shattered
more Guinness World Records
than any other magician ever,
12, according to a press release.
Audience members eagerly
participate throughout the performance as Matt uses his unorthodox techniques to read and
influence thoughts, play around
with advanced sleight-of-hand
and display a variety of feats.
He’s earned numerous industry awards and has been
featured on more than 50 na-
tional and international media
outlets including: The Discovery Channel, The Wall Street
Journal, NBC, The New York
Post, ESPN Magazine, The
History Channel, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, CNN, National
Geographic, CCTV (China),
Rai Tre (Italy) and The BBC
(United Kingdom).
He was even an answer on
America’s most popular game
show — Jeopardy.
But never one to let his
resume give him a big head,
he’s developed a reputation of
being generous and approachable — someone who is always
happy to sign autographs, take
photos, answer questions and
demonstrate more tricks even
after the show has ended.
Matt always delivers the
perfect blend of high-octane
charisma, spot-on comedic
timing and rarefied mysticism
that his fans have come to love.

Amateur radio examinations
Examinations for U.S. Federal Communications Commission amateur radio licenses will be held Sept. 29
at the “Hauptschule Heidensteilschule” (High School) in
Idar-Oberstein, not far from
Baumholder.
The “Hauptschule Heidensteilschule” is located on
Pestalozzistrasse 2, Idar-Oberstein. The zip code is 55743.
Examinations start at noon;
however, people need to arrive
30 minutes early, said Daniel
Wolff, Region 11 director for
the Army’s Military Auxiliary
Radio System.
For those taking the examinations, retesting of failed
elements on the same day is not
normally offered at the sessions,
but exceptions to this policy
might be made if time permits,
according to Wolff.
And, “keep in mind,” he
said, “that there will be no copying services available.”
The test fee is $15, but
that is subject to change. The
equivalent amount in euros will
be accepted.
To register for the test session, call Jo Heyse (N7TXO /

When the Rhein Main Area
USO staff noticed the disparity
of special offerings it had made
to teens compared to Soldiers
and toddlers in the community
something had to be done.
A day trip to a local adventure park came about, after the
staff reached out to the USO
Headquarters in Arlington, Va.
On July 20 the staff and
several parent volunteers took a
group of 69 teens on a climbing
adventure to the Kletterwald
Neroberg in Wiesbaden.
“We always focus on the
younger kids and Soldiers. It
seems like we never offer anything to teenagers,” said Sue
Pantano, USO area operations
manager.
The outing was a welcome
change in the way summer
was going for several of the
teens. For Josh Robinson, since
attending the JROTC junior
leadership course, he said his
summer was pretty uneventful.
“It’s nice to get out of the
house and do something different,” he said, adding that

his experience on the JLC
course was the confidence
he needed to conquer the

“This has been really fun.”
“We were repelling
and jumping from towers,” he said, admitting
that he was intimidated by
the course on two previous visits to Kletterwald.
“This place is a cakewalk

Dental Clinic day dedicated to retirees
Military veterans get on-thespot exams, minor dental work
during open house July 20
Story and photo by
Wendy Brown
The Wiesbaden Dental
Clinic’s Retiree Appreciation
Day July 20 allowed retirees
from all branches of the military to take advantage of free
dental work ― no appointment
necessary.
“I think it was very well
organized,” said Albert Vargas,
who retired from the Army in
1981. “There’s good service,
and it was well worthwhile. …
I’d recommend they hold these
more often.”
Retirees visited the clinic
throughout the day to take
advantage of the event’s onthe-spot exams, cleanings and
other minor dental work, said
Sgt. Dennis Nicholson, the
clinic’s noncommissioned officer in charge.
When retirees required more
extensive work, the clinic
scheduled it for later, Nicholson said.
James Tree, who retired
from the Air Force in 1993 and
now works as a civilian for 5th
Signal Command, said he came
in for a cleaning and was glad to
see that it was not too crowded.
“It’s smart to take advantage
of these types of events when
they occur,” Tree said.
About 200 retirees usually
attend the clinic’s annual retiree
appreciation day, and visits to
the clinic during the day were
on par with other years, said
Sgt. Stephen Combs, the clinic’s
practice manager.

Running through Europ
Competing in European races brings fitness motivation and a unique tourist perspe
By Wendy Brown
W
hen Pat Best packs for a
trip in Europe, the first
two items she places inside her
bags are her running shoes.
Best is among a number
of Wiesbaden athletes who
stay motivated in their fitness
programs by competing in
races throughout Europe. Not
only is it a good way to stay
fit, but it is also a good way
to see Europe.
Best, for example, has
lived in Europe for 27 years
and has completed the 2,500year anniversary run of the
Athens Marathon, the Prague
Marathon, the Paris Marathon
(three times) and several marathons and Iron Man competitions in Germany. She hopes
to compete in the 2013 Virgin
London Marathon.
“Every vacation I go on
I’m either running a race or
running,” Best, a fifth-grade
teacher at Hainerberg Elementary School, said. “It’s
a great way to get acclimated
and see places.”
Maj. Christian Lewis,
who has lived in Germany
for a year, has completed
a triathalon in Cologne, a
100-kilometer race outside
Belfast, Ireland, and the Paris
Marathon. He plans to run the
Berlin Marathon in September
and the London and Athens
marathons in 2013.
“I learned a while ago
that you get to see areas you
wouldn’t normally see or
think to go by,” Lewis said.
“You go running by and say,
‘That looks neat,’ and then go
back later.”
Annamarie McCormick–
Howell, who finished in the
top five percent of the Tough
Mudder Scotland in July
with her husband Staff Sgt.
Anthony Howell, has also
competed in the Cologne
Women’s Run, the Mainz half
marathon, the Wiesbaden Half
Ironman competition, among
others.
“It’s nice to always have a
goal and to know what you’re
working toward,” McCormick-Howell, a teacher at
Page 18
Aukamm Elementary School,
said.
Another plus to running
a race in a new city is that
the roads are blocked off, so
participants have a free rein of
the road, McCormick-Howell
said.
This month she and Best
will travel to compete in the
Loch Ness Monster Swim in
Scotland and then in October
she is off to Amsterdam to run
the marathon there.
McCormick-Howell, who
has lived in Europe for two
years, said she picks races not
only by destination, but also
by type of race. She likes to
vary the types of races she
competes in, whether it’s a
running race, a triathalon or
a swimming race, she said.
Best said she generally
finds events through word
of mouth and the Internet.
A search for “Europe,” and
“marathons,” for example,
will bring up many sites. One
site that contains many listings
is the Ahotu website at http://
marathons.ahotu.com.
But while a marathon
might give a runner more
sites to see during a run, it is
not necessary to run that far
to experience a new place on
foot. Sites like www.germanroadraces.de list races of all
lengths, including 5-kilometer
races.
As websites listing races
reveal, there are races at all
times of the year. Although
some times are more popular
than others, such as the fall and
spring, runners can usually
find a race anytime of the year.
It also is not necessary to
travel to a huge metropolis to
compete in an ultra-serious
race.
Best said she had a
great time running in the
Moooooathon half marathon
in Letterkenny, Ireland. Participants dressed in black and
white, and many dressed up
like cows. The event’s motto
is, “Just Moo it!”
McCormick-Howell said
her favorite race was in Cologne, where the race course
went by a beautiful lake with
a trail around it. Had she not

run the race, she never would
have known that the lake was
there, she said.
And of course, it also is
not necessary to sign up for
a race to explore a new place
with long-distance running.
Lewis said he once went
on a 13-mile run outside of
Prague that took him by the
river. Along the way, he saw
people leaving nightclubs
early in the morning and a
side of Prague he never would
have seen otherwise.
Location is one of the main
reasons he picks races, Lewis
said, but another motivator is
the scale. Running races is a
good way to stay physically
fit, he said, and his dog Jack
often joins him on runs, keeping the dog slim as well.
Also along those lines,
Best said running races, particularly marathons, while
on vacation means getting to
splurge a little on the local
food without guilt.
It is important to remember, however,
that some places
are not always
good for running.
Best said she
once went for a
run in Amman,
Jordan, and realized in the course
of the run that
people there did
not consider running attire appropriate for women
in public. For the
rest of the trip,
she stuck with

pe DoD leads drive for healthier lifestyles
For your health
ective

T
ff Sgt. Anthony Howell
s in the Vierenhe-
he Defense Department is
taking a leading role in a
government-wide effort to stop the
nation’s obesity problem, Barbara
Thompson, the director of DoD’s
Office of Family Policy/Children
and Youth, said.
DoD is one of 17 federal departments and agencies working
together to identify opportunities
for promoting healthy living as
part of the White House’s National
Prevention Council strategy, she
explained.
“One part of that is preventing
obesity,” Thompson told American Forces Press Service and The
Pentagon Channel. “It has a huge
impact on our quality of life, both
for children and adults.”
Thompson noted a national
increase in Type II diabetes and
cardiovascular disease, believed
caused by increased fat, salt and
sugar in Americans’ diets at the
same time that many children are
less active than in previous generations. There was a 40 percent rise
in childhood obesity between 1998
and 2008, she said.
The shift toward unhealthier
foods and less exercise has developed over the past 30 years or
so, and is having a huge impact
on health, health care costs, and
national security, Thompson said.
“For the first time, we’re hearing
that this generation will not live
longer than their parents.”
The Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank,
issued a major report
last month, “Lots to
Lose,” written by two
former Agriculture secretaries and two former
Health and Human
Services secretaries,
that includes a case
study of Defense Department initiatives
to counteract obesity,
Thompson noted.
DoD’s spending on
health care is rising

besity is linked to many serious health
conditions, such as diabetes and cancer.
Like other Americans, military warriors, past
and present, and their families feel the effects
of obesity through negative health impacts and
out-of-pocket costs.
For example, the inability to meet service
weight and physical fitness standards is a common
reason for early discharge. According to a recent
Army study, “Too Fat to Fight,” 27 percent of all
Americans 17-to-24 years of age are too heavy
to join the military. Another major concern is
the negative effect of obesity on force readiness.
We have an opportunity to improve the health
and well-being of warriors, past and present,
military families and military communities as a
whole. To achieve this outcome, health promotion and wellness initiatives should be focused
on influencing behavior throughout the “life
space”— the 525,500 minutes in a year that
Soldiers and retirees, their Family members
and Army civilians are not seeing a health care
provider.
One critical component of this complex
issue is ensuring the affordability of and access to healthier food options. This initiative is
aligned with the National Prevention Strategy’s
Healthy Eating strategic priority. The question of
whether healthy foods are really more expensive
is explored in the May 2012 U.S. Department of
Agriculture Economic Research Service report
titled, “Are Healthy Foods Really More Expensive? It Depends On How You Measure the Price.”
In the report, authors Andrea Carlson and
Elizabeth Frazão compare prices of healthy and
less-healthy foods using three different measures:
the price per calorie, the price per unit of edible
weight and the price of an average portion. They
also calculate the daily cost of meeting the food
group recommendations on the ChooseMyPlate.
gov website. For all metrics except the price of
food per calorie, the authors find that healthy
foods cost less than less healthy foods (defined
for this study as foods that are high in saturated
fat, added sugar and/or sodium, or that contribute
little to meeting dietary recommendations).
The fight against obesity can only be won
by promoting environmental changes, wellness
activities, policies that support healthy behaviors
and staying engaged in current best practices that
can help prevent and reduce obesity.

Research Service report, visit U.S. Department

lined the 550-kilometer-long upper Limes
boundary that marked the northern border of
Roman territory running through this area of
Germany some 2,000 years ago. Visitors today can hike or bike along the Limes and visit
remnants of those ancient Roman buildings.
While the Saalburg fortress north of Bad Homburg is well known, fewer people know about
the Kapersburg (photo left) which lies deep
in the forest near Pfaffenwiesbach. This site,
which once served150-200 soldiers, was slowly
uncovered in the years during and after the U.S.
military vacated the Friedberg Training Area in
the Taunus Mountains. Follow bike signs from
Pfaffenwiesbach to reach the Kapersburg and a
reconstructed tower overlooking Butzbach.

Benjamin Smith runs with the football as Issac Meyers chases him while learning about
flag football at the Start Smart Sports program in Hainerberg Housing July 18. The program gives children a chance to try out sports before buying equipment and committing
to a full season of play.
Start Smart Sports:
A smart choice
By Katrina Gluth
Start Smart Sports is a
program for children ages
3-7 that teaches golf, flag
football, soccer, basketball
and baseball.
For our younger participants, ages 3-5, it’s about showing them the different sports
and seeing if they enjoy it, or
even have a particular interest or skill,” said Brad Hagen,
program director.
“For the older children it is
about working on teamwork
and the basic fundamentals,
balance and body movement
― aspects of sports that will
help them succeed and excel
later,” Hagen said.
Hagen, who has been playing sport his whole life and
has been teaching golf since
he was 16, said it is important
for children to learn at a young
age how to properly warm up
and stretch, balance and body
movement so they can learn how
to avoid sports injuries.
It is particularly important to
know how to fall properly, how
to stop and recognize common
sports injuries such as a sprained
ankle or wrist, Hagen said.
Fabiana Francis, who signed
her son Gabriel, 6, up for the
program, said she wanted her
son to have something to do
during the summer, and to
learn about American football
in particular.
“I'm German and we live
more on the economy, but we
want our son to keep in touch
with his American side as well,”
Francis said.
Rebecca Carmichael, whose
son Jackson, 7, participates in
the program, said her son loved
www.wiesbaden.army.mil ............................................................................Aug. 2, 2012
the program so much last year,
she had to sign him up again.
“He did the program last year
and loved it,” Carmichael said.
“He has been looking forward
to it the whole summer and
participates in all the sports ―
golf, baseball, basketball ― he
plays anything.”
The program has been extremely popular and has been
filled every week, Hagen said.
The Child and Youth program decided to re-offer the
camp to those children who
were unable to fit in the first session, Hagen said. Each sport can
accommodate 15 participants
per age group, and each participant must have an updated
sports physical. (Katrina Gluth,
a senior in college, worked at
the garrisons Public Affairs
Office in this year’s Summer
Hire Program.)

5th Signal launches mentorship program
Helping better familiarize students with information technology missions
By Kristopher
Joseph
5th Signal Command
Going from school to
the workforce can be a
challenging transition for
many students, especially
in the realm of information
technology.
Members of the 5th
Signal Command have
found a way to bridge that
learning and experience
gap by launching a new
program called Cyber
STEM Initiative- Europe.
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
CSI-Europe is a mentorship program designed to
give high school students
in Europe the chance to
intern with 5th Signal
employees and work on
real-world cyber missions
and technologies.
“CSI-Europe involves
5th Signal Command
partnering with local high
schools to help focus on
STEM which has been
identified as a shortcoming in our schools. It aims
to help our nation’s youth
gain the skills required to
succeed in today’s challenging world. This includes the ability to think
critically, solve complex
problems and drive advancements in STEM,”
said Chief Warrant Officer 2 Daniel Crandall,
program manager for
CSI-Europe.
The 5th Signal Command is currently testing
the program with a recent
high school graduate, Jasmine Schulz, who was part
of a special technology
program at Kaiserslautern
High School.
“I’m gaining a lot of
great experience with this
program,” Schulz said.
“To be able to work at 5th
Signal Command and see
how they manage such
a huge network is really
eye-opening.”
Initially, CSI-Europe
will start mentoring students at Wiesbaden High
School as part of their Career Practicum Program.
In the future, the intent is
to expand to other communities throughout Europe.
“We’re always looking
for ways to be involved
with our communities,”
said Col. Bruce T. Crawford, commander of the
5th Signal Command.
“CSI-Europe is a way
for us to utilize our many
talented employees and
help introduce or reinforce
these critical skill sets to
students who will inherit
an ever-growing cyber
environment in the real
world.”
“I would definitely
recommend this program
to students who are interested in computer science or IT,” Schulz said.
“Hands-on experience
like this can really help
focus on a career field
because you really get a
taste of what certain jobs
would be like.”
Students or parents
interested in getting involved with CSI-Europe
should contact their high
school school counselor or
contact Chief Warrant Officer 2 Crandall at mil 3378339, civ (0611) 705-8339
or email daniel.e.crandall.

tary School holds a kindergarten
orientation Aug. 27 at 8:30 a.m.
A special Youth Sponsorship
Bowling Party for all necomers
to the Baumholder community
will be held at the Striker’s Bowling Center Aug. 16 from 1-3 p.m.
Pick up information about community schools; Child, Youth and
School Services programs; travel
opportunities and more.
All of last year’s administrators will return to Baumholder
schools this year, with the exception of Wetzel Elementary
School which welcomes new
Principal Angie Cotton. The U.S.
Army Garrison Baumholder also
welcomed a new school liaison
officer — Randy Lambert — who
can be reached at mil 485-6968
or civ (06783) 6-6968.
Lambert said that all three
schools — Baumholder Middle
High School, Smith Elementary
School and Wetzel Elementary
School received “major paint
jobs” over the summer months.
“The interior of Baumholder
Middle High School is maroon
— reflecting the school colors.”
Wiesbaden
orientations
Wiesbaden schools hold the
following student orientations:
Hainerberg Elementary School
kindergarten orientation Aug.
23 from 10-11 a.m.; Aukamm
and Hainerberg Elementary
Schools new student orientations
Aug. 23 from 11 a.m. to 12:30
p.m.; Wiesbaden Middle School
new student orientation Aug. 23
12:30-2 p.m.; Wiesbaden High
School new student orientation
Aug. 23 from 2-3:30 p.m.
Wiesbaden students in grades
six to 12 are also invited to a
barbecue from 3:30-6 p.m. at
the Wiesbaden Teen Center in
Hainerberg Housing following
the orientations. “It’s part of the
ongoing youth sponsorship initiative,” said Witmer, adding, “The
timing is ideal. It’s the same day as
when people are already coming
to the middle and high school for
the new student orientations.”
Open houses are slated for:
Sept. 5 Aukamm and Hainerberg
Elementary Schools from 4-5:30
p.m.; Wiesbaden Middle School
Sept. 6 from 4-6 p.m. and Wiesbaden High School Sept. 13 from
5:30-7 p.m.
Wiesbaden will welcome
several new administrators this
school year. Dr. Susan Hargis,
who most recently served as principal of Kaiserslautern Middle
School, takes over the helm
of Wiesbaden Middle School.
Debbie Parks, former Garmisch
Elementary School principal,
will assume duties as principal
of Aukamm Elementary School.
Rick Renninger, last year’s assistant principal at Heidelberg
High School, will be the new
assistant principal at Wiesbaden
High School.
Wiesbaden High School students can look forward to a newly
refurbished sports field, Witmer
said, and the opening of the new
multipurpose center.
Students and parents can also
gear up for this year’s edition of
“Show Me the College Money”
program — an opportunity for
students to better prepare for post
high school education.
“We’re going to continue that
program and expand it a little bit,”
Witmer said, adding that about 200
students and parents participated
in the program last school year.
“We’ll be bringing in guest speakers again — from the University
of Maryland, as well as other
universities and representatives
from the United States.”
In addition to the barbecue on
Aug. 23 at the Teen Center (see
column left), the program will
feature various speakers and top-
ics starting with the “Big Picture
College Application Process” on
Sept. 17.
If parents haven’t already registered their children for school
or the school bus, they should
do so immediately, Lambert
and Witmer said, so that school
administrators can accurately
allocate teachers and expenses
for the new school year. Parents
can stop by their child’s school
and the School Bus Office (in
Wiesbaden located next to the Wiesbaden Middle School in Hainerberg Housing; in Baumholder
located at Baumholder Middle
High School or at School Age
Services in Building 8879 in
Wetzel Housing) to register.
“It’s also important to update
your contact information with
your child’s school — especially
if you moved over the summer,”
Witmer said. “It’s important to let
the schools know how to contact
you in an emergency.”
Parents should be aware of the
Army in Europe Child Supervision Guidance to know when it’s
OK to let their children walk to
school on their own, Witmer said.

FRANKFURT
Between Goethe and skyscrapers
by Nicole Karsch-Meibom
Contributing writer
“On the 28th of August
1749, as the midday bell
struck twelve, I was born
into Frankfurt by the Main.
The stars were favourable
...” This is how Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
describes his own birth in
the book “Poetry and Truth.”
The greatest German poet
experienced the hustle and
bustle of this unique city
throughout his youth and
many of his experiences
reflect in his work.
Centuries later, Frankfurt
is one of the most multifaceted places in Germany.
A place full of contrasts,
it hosts both super modern
and historic aspects. The
mixture of latest high-rise
architecture, remains of the
ancient Romans, medieval
streets and 19th century
parks makes the financial
capital of Germany unique.
If you are from a major
U.S. city and you feel a
little homesick, downtown
Frankfurt is the place to
be - it has a skyline like
Manhattan and is full of
office towers.
It is the home of the
European Central Bank and
the German Stock Exchange
and hosts some of the
world’s most important trade
shows, such as the Frankfurt
Motor Show (the next one
will be in 2013) and the
Frankfurt Book Fair (which
takes place in mid October).
Talking about money:
Although Frankfurt is one of
the most expensive places to
live in, it is one of the most
interesting ones to visit.
Quite fittingly, it hosts
the Money Museum of the
German Central Bank. If
you want to experience the
money market in action, register in advance for a guided
tour of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange.
A typical Frankfurt sight, you can see modern tower buildings in the vicinity.
While rejected by some
and loved by others,
Frankfurt is undeniably the
capital of arts. From architecture to paintings and
sculptures, from nouveau art
to medieval architecture, it’s
all there.
“You need to bring a lot
of time, because the amount
of musuems and galleries is
overwhelming,” said Jördis
Hille from the Frankfurt
Tourism Office.
Most conveniently, many
of the museums are clustered in a district called
“Museumsufer.”
“With
the
special
Frankfurt Card, you have
on one or two days reduced
access to most of them,”
Hille said.
For partying, the best place
to go is Sachsenhausen, said
Frankfurt native Susanne
Till, who now lives in the
Stuttgart area. Located on
the southern banks of River
Main, Sachsenhausen is

The beautiful former opera house now serves as home to the Frankfurt Radio
Symphony Orchestra. The building, dating back to 1880, bears an inscription,
“To the true, the beautiful, the good.”
known as the stronghold of
apple wine consumption in
Frankfurt.
“It’s like a village of
pubs, bars, restaurants
and discotheques,” she
said. “Whenever I make
it back home to Frankfurt,
Sachsenhausen is a must.
We’ve had our best parties
there.”
This part of Frankfurt was
home to thousands of U.S.
Soldiers when they were stationed there after the war.
If you bring your children, the Frankfurt Zoo with
its 5,000 animals might be
a good place to go. If they
prefer animals from a long
ago time, show them the
T-Rex at the Senckenberg
Natural Museum. However,
if just looking at exhibits is
not enough, take your family
to the Frankfurt Children’s
Museum. It offers handson learning experiences
and encourages visitors to
be active, to touch and try
things out.
As for accommodation,
experienced travelers recommend staying in nearby cities like Darmstadt
or Wiesbaden and using
the S-Bahn trains to go to
Frankfurt. It takes less than
an hour. Families might find
it less suitable to stay overnight in the Frankfurt main
station area, as this is the
city’s red light district.
Some final advice before
you start your tour to
Frankfurt: Before you go,
make sure you’re booking
the right place. If it says
Frankfurt/Oder on your ticket, then you are going the
wrong way. Frankfurt am
Main is the correct destination. For general tours,

Card or trips with themes
like Goethe’s footsteps, visit

maps, ticket and travel information as well as a mini-travel guide for a two hour tours
