people a day with several hundred pounds of
food. Ovens, grills, food heaters, drink dispensers and dishwashers are part of the equation, too.
So what does it take for a cafeteria that feeds
the Army to keep the environment happy, too?
“The work of an entire team,” remarked
Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin upon
handing the team its Green Boot award for meeting the garrison’s highest environment-friendly
standards. The dining facility was awarded its

to overcome — mainly education.

Commentary
Talk about a busy garrison …
Thanks to everyone who supported our
German-American Friendship Fest
June 26 – July 4, and “Super Kudos”
to the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden
Fest Team who made it all possible,
what an outstanding event! Not to
mention, that was possibly one of the
best fireworks displays I have seen in
many years.
Additionally, thank you for allowing
the garrison to take time out for our
Organizational Day on July 2 — our
hard working employees enjoyed a
fun filled day with co-workers, family
and friends.
Keep your comments coming as they
assist us in providing the best support
to you, our dear customers. Danke!

Legal advice: German traffic violations
U.S. Army Garrison
Wiesbaden Legal Office
If you, or your dependant, receives
a traffic violation (i.e. speeding, running a red light, etc.) from the German
authorities you will receive an administrative order.
The notice either comes through
the mail, or will be served by your
commander, immediate supervisor or
the International Law branch of the
legal office.
Once you received the administrative
order or questionnaire you only have
a two-week deadline from the date of
receipt, not from the date of postmark
to respond.
The administrative order is an offer
made by the German authorities which
provides you an opportunity to pay a
fine for having violated German law
instead of appearing in court.
An administrative order is not proof
of guilt, and no judgment of guilt or
innocence has been rendered. German
law gives you the right to object to the
violation notice. If you decide to protest
the administrative order, you may do so
in writing, or by personally going to the
issuing authority.
A written protest must make reference to the case file number and should
state in detail the grounds for objection
to the administrative order. The protest
has to be written in German language.
You have to file the objection within
two weeks from the date the administrative order is served on you. The fact that
the payment or protest (objection) is in
the mail at the end of the stated period
is not sufficient.
The payment or the protest must
be received by the German authorities
within the stated period. If you do not
object the order becomes final.
You should make a careful determination in contesting the administrative
order because your total costs may substantially increase if later court proceedings result in a judgment against you.
If you are involved in an automobile
accident, there may be a claim for injury
or damage against your insurance company. Therefore you should immediately
inform your insurance company about
the accident. Your insurance company
might need a German police report or
a military police report.
If you receive a German notice
related to the accident you should immediately report it to your insurance
company.
Notifying the insurance company of
the receipt of such a German document
neither affects your rights, nor your
obligations, under German law.
If you have further questions, please
see the Legal Assistance Office at the
Wiesbaden Legal Center.
It is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, and
from 1 to 4 p.m. In addition it is open
Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. To visit with

What got employees’ attention was the cost savings
involved with conserving
resources, he said. Since implementing Green Boot standards,
the DFAC has saved a significant amount. The DFAC also
uses energy-efficient dishwashers and rotates their equipment to increase efficiency and
life expectancy.

to be part of the team of teachers, staff members, parents, and
community members who make that happen daily. I received an
offer to be the principal at Stowers Elementary School at Fort
Benning, Ga. This school is within a few hours of my daughters’
homes. The opportunity to be so close to them is one I cannot
pass up. I accepted the offer and will leave the Wiesbaden
community by Aug. 1 to begin my new adventure in Georgia.
The Kaiserslautern District has announced the new principal of Hainerberg ES, and I am confident that the momentum
that occurred in our progress this year will continue under the
leadership of the new principal. How can it not? I am leaving
behind an incredible assistant principal, office staff, teachers,
aides, PTO, parents, and community members who will make
sure Hainerberg Elementary School will continue to excel!
As I leave this community, I take many memories of great
times I have had during my 15 years of living in Europe.
Americans truly become a big family when we live together
overseas, and so the thought of leaving you is bittersweet. You
have been such an encouragement and support to my husband
and me during this great European adventure, and we will
always cherish the time we had with you.
I wish you all only the best!

Soldiers lower the flag during the Independence Day retreat ceremony held by U.S. Army Europe
at the Keyes Building July 2.
U.S. Army Europe Public
Affairs
Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, commanding general, U.S. Army Europe, hosted an Independence Day
ceremony at the Keyes Building on
Clay Kaserne July 2.
Independence Day, celebrated
on July 4 each year, honors the
birthday of the United States of
America and the signing of the
Declaration of Independence in
1776. It is a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts
and fireworks, and a reason to fly
the American flag.
In addition to Army Europe
and U.S. Army Garrison, Wiesbaden leaders, Soldiers, civilians
and family members attended the
ceremony, which kicked off the
long holiday weekend. Though
the holiday is Saturday, federal
employees had Friday, July 3 off
from work.
In a briefing in Washington,
DC, July 1, Defense Secretary
Ash Carter wished the men and
women of the Defense Department
a well-deserved Independence
Day holiday, and said some service members would be working
worldwide July 4 to secure the
country and protect citizens, allies
and partners.
“As recent terrorist attacks
overseas remind us, those who seek
to harm this nation and our friends
take no holiday, and neither do we
in the Department of Defense,”
Carter said.
Soldiers, civilians and family
members are encouraged to be safe
and make wise choices during any
weekend festivities.
Stay hydrated, make responsible decisions and have a plan in
place to get home safe and ensure
others around you get home safely
as well.
Bicycle safety
Bicycle operators and passengers on U.S.
forces installations must wear an approved helmet
properly fastened under the chin. Other safety rules
include not using cell phones or wear listening
devices that impede hearing and the detection of
impending danger; using a headlight that emits
a white light and a taillight that emits a red light
and wearing light-colored clothing or reflective
accessories when riding at night or in low light; and
bicycle wheels must have two reflectors mounted
180 degrees apart on the spokes. Bicycle pedals
must have reflectors designed and placed to be visible from the front and rear of the bicycle during
darkness. Note: As an exception, local national
personnel are not required to wear a safety helmet
when riding a bicycle on U.S. military installations
in Germany. It is, however, highly recommended
that they do so. In addition, ensure you are in
compliance with all host nation laws and rules.

BOSS supports single Soldiers
By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden
Marketing Office
Many single service members feel disconnected, alienated or overwhelmed by an
overseas duty assignment.
Finding one’s way around,
making new friends and discovering the intricacies of a
new culture all take initiative,
time and energy.
That’s where Wiesbaden’s
Better Opportunities for Single
Soldiers comes into play.
“BOSS helps build esprit de
corps and a good foundation
where single service members feel comfortable to be
around new people,” said Sgt.
Julia King, Wiesbaden BOSS
president and a member of the
1st Battalion, 214th Aviation
Regiment.
“A lot of people don’t have
their families with them overseas,” King said.
“It’s intimidating to get out
there,” added Spc. Daniella
Canal, BOSS vice president
and assigned to the Wiesbaden
Health Clinic. “No one wants
to be stuck in the barracks not
knowing what to do.”
“BOSS can help,” King
explained. “We help build a
little family overseas.”
As her first duty station
overseas, Canal said getting
involved with BOSS has helped
make her feel connected to her
greater community.
“Help us help you,” said
King, explaining that the Wiesbaden BOSS team is always
open to new ideas.
A bi-monthly BOSS meeting, held at 3 p.m. on the first
and third Wednesdays of the
month at the Warrior Zone on
Clay Kaserne, gives single and
unaccompanied service members the opportunity to voice
their opinions about programs,
services and other aspects of
the military impacting their
lives. Unit representatives
share BOSS news and issues
with their fellow unit members.
“It’s all about communicating — just trying to get the word
out,” Canal said.

have indoor plumbing or central heat.
Money was clearly an issue for the Francis couple
— especially with a newborn on the way. Hester already
accrued out-of-pocket medical expenses and needed
a military identification card to receive necessary
health benefits. Unable to travel to obtain her card,
she contacted the Army, specifically the Commanderin-Chief, to see what could be done.
Army Community Service at Fort Knox, Ky.,
stepped in. An emergency mission, dubbed “Operation
Tomahawk” (named after Hester’s town of Tomahawk,
Ky.) assigned Maj. Raymond M. Marsh, the ACS
center chief, and a photographer to travel to her home
— via 17th Air Cavalry helicopter. Bringing along a
typewriter, laminating machine and a camera with
instant film processing capabilities, Marsh produced
and issued her an ID card in her kitchen.
Days later, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
This is one of the first publicized stories of ACS’s
remarkable commitment and service to Soldiers and
their Family members. This month, the program
will celebrate its 50th birthday. While the military
community’s have evolved over the years, ACS is
still dedicated to its motto: “Real-Life Solutions for
Successful Army Living.”
“ACS is a group of professionals dedicated to
relieving some of the burden our Soldiers and their
Families carry every day,” said Stephanie L. Hoehne,
the G9 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation
director for the U.S. Army Installation Management
Command.
“Our ACS centers are staffed with people who live
the ideal of taking care of the Army Family.”
The program’s formal conception started in the
early 1960s. By then, services like Army Emergency
Relief already existed. However, as the military entered
into the Vietnam War, the needs of Soldiers and their
Family members changed.
Lt. Gen. J.L. Richardson, Army Deputy Chief of
Staff Personnel, took action to establish an official
“Family assistance” program in 1963. He requested
a qualified officer to develop a plan for the program’s
creation. Lt. Col. Emma Marie Baird, who was assigned to the AER and Personnel Affairs Office during
World War II, was selected for the position. She began
to establish a program addressing military Families’
growing needs. The program’s philosophy, however,
would be of evaluation, not revolution.
“Emerging needs can be met, and services no
longer needed discarded, to ensure that each program
is adapted to the requirements and resources of the
specific Army community,” she said in her 1986 paper
entitled, “Army Community Service History.”
Under the guidance of AR 608-1, the ACS Regulation, the Army developed programming based on

military Families’ diverse needs. From 1965
to 1981, programs such
as the Handicapped Dependents Program (now
called Exceptional Family Member Program)
and the Child Advocacy
Program (now evolved
into the Family Advocacy Program) were
created.
The 1980s was also a
time where Army leadership brought Family
care issues to the forefront. In 1983, Gen.
John A. Wickham, Jr.,
the Chief of Staff of the
Army, wrote a white paper entitled “The Army
Family” to address how
Family members’ support was important to

For your health
Protect yourself from insect and tick-borne diseases
By Roseanne Radavich
Entomologist, UwSw Army
Public Health Command
Insect and tick-borne diseases, such
as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever
and Lyme disease, are serious health
threats that cause human misery, hardship and more than one million deaths
worldwide each year. Many of these
diseases can be prevented using a few
simple protective measures.
Preventing bites
Protect exposed skin from bites
by applying EPA-approved repellents
containing DEET or Picaridin. Wear permethrin-treated clothing, which repels
ticks, mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Some military uniforms and civilian
outdoor clothing come pre-treated with
permethrin. These garments are highly
recommended because factory-treatment
lasts the lifetime of the garment. If your
uniform or clothing has not been treated
with permethrin, you can treat it yourself
with commercially-available aerosol/
pump-spray products containing 0.5
percent permethrin, which typically lasts
for six weeks and six washings. Wearing
long pants and long-sleeved shirts also
reduces bites by covering your skin.
Wear light colors to help you see and
remove ticks from your clothing before
they can bite you. Check yourself thoroughly for ticks after you have been in
tick habitat, and promptly remove any
ticks that have attached to your skin.
Remove a tick by grasping it close to the
skin with tweezers and pull up until the
tick detaches. Secure the tick in a plastic
bag or container, and kill it by freezing.
Keep the tick, and bring it with you to the
doctor in case you become ill. The doctor
can use the tick to help diagnose your
illness and provide speedy treatment.
Eliminating habitats
Homeowners can also make simple
changes to reduce the number of mosquitoes and ticks around their yards. A
female mosquito prefers to lay her eggs in
standing water, and under ideal weather
conditions, it can take less than a week for
her eggs to hatch and develop into adults.
Break this weekly breeding cycle by
removing the standing water from your
yard. Empty any water accumulating in
toys, lawn furniture, clogged gutters,
tarp-covered vehicles and other artificial
containers. Water containers like pet
bowls and bird baths can be emptied and
refilled weekly to get rid of mosquitoes.
Ticks are most common in tall grass and

The lone star tick is found in many
communities in the United States.
One of the first things personnel can
do to prevent a tick bite is to recognize tick habitats and avoid them.
The deer tick is the only tick that
carries Lyme disease. If individuals remove attached ticks promptly, they can prevent tick-borne
diseases.
shrubs and are moved around by animals.
Keep your yard free of trash and debris,
mow lawns, trim overhanging trees and
shrubs and avoid feeding or attracting
feral and wild animals into your yard.
healthcare provider about insect-borne
diseases, especially if you plan to travel.
If a medication is not available, take
other precautions to protect yourself.
Don’t let insects ruin your trip and
send you to the doctor. Take your medications, receive your vaccinations, use
repellents on your skin and clothing and
modify your yard to ensure that you
have the best protection against insect
and tick-borne diseases.
For more information on preventing
insect-borne disease, contact the DoD
Pesticide Hotline at 410-436-3773.
Take your medications
A few important insect and tickborne diseases have vaccines or medications developed to prevent them. Highly
effective vaccines exist for diseases like
yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis,
while pills can be taken to prevent
infection with malaria. Talk to your
Summertime means the start of skin protection season
By Molly Francis
Program Evaluator, UwSw Army Public
Health Command
It is finally summertime, so what
better way to celebrate than by going
out and enjoying the summer sun? You
probably put on sunscreen before going
swimming or going to the beach because
you know that the sun’s ultraviolet rays,
or UV rays, can damage your skin in just
15 minutes. But wait, not so fast! You
are in danger from the sun’s UV rays
any time you are outside.
Ultraviolet radiation is defined by the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention as the “part of sunlight that
is an invisible form of radiation.” There
are two types of harmful UV rays: ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB).
While UVA is the most dangerous type,
the CDC cautions that UVB rays can also
have negative health effects.
Too much exposure to UV rays can
cause sunburn, where the radiation literally burns your skin and causes it to age
prematurely. Along with being painful,
sunburn can have long-term consequences. The World Health Organization
warns that UV rays cause damage to skin
Page 14
Herald Union
cells that can result in skin cancer along
with other harmful effects to your eyes,
skin, and immune system. The National
Cancer Institute cautions that skin cancer
is the most common type of cancer in
the United States and getting just one
blistering sunburn increases your risk.
The UV rays can reflect off a variety of surfaces like water, sand and
pavement and cause havoc year round
and anywhere outside. It is important
to safeguard against the sun’s harmful rays to protect yourself and your
skin. To protect yourself, follow these
“SUNSHINE tips”:
S: Sunscreen. Always wear sunscreen. The CDC recommends wearing
sunscreen with a sun protection factor of
at least 15 and offers protection from both
UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen should
be worn any time you go outside for the
most protection.
U: Use sunscreen correctly. Apply
sunscreen at least a half an hour before
going into the sun. Also make sure to
reapply sunscreen at least every two
hours or more often if you are swimming.
If you are swimming, reapply sunscreen
every time you dry yourself off.
N: No expired sunscreen. Always
make sure to check your sunscreen’s
expiration date, as all sunscreens expire.
If you cannot find one, replace the sunscreen after three years or if the sunscreen
appears discolored.
S: Sunglasses. Wear sunglasses.
Look for sunglasses that offer 100 percent
UVA and UVB protection. Sunglasses
can help protect your eyes from cataracts
and yellowing of the lens.
H: Have (and wear) protective
clothing. Protective clothing includes a
wide-brimmed hat that shields your face
and neck from the sun, long sleeves and
pants. The American Cancer Society advises that clothes that are dry, darker and
have tighter knits are better at protecting
your skin from UV rays. However, also
wear sunscreen for ultimate protection.
I: Inside. Avoid being outside from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when possible. These
are the peak hours for UV rays. If you
are going to be outside during this time
of the day, take precautions like staying
in the shade.
N: No tanning beds. Tanning beds
produce UV rays just like tanning outside.
Getting a base tan before going to the
beach does not protect your skin from
the sun while at the beach.
Photo by Dr. Edwin P. Ewing, Jr., CDC
People play at a beach in Honolulu,
Hawaii.
E: Examine your skin. Look for
moles that are growing larger, black or
uneven in color and look for discolored
skin patches. These marks could be signs
of melanoma, a particularly dangerous
type of skin cancer, and should be discussed with your doctor.
Although sun safety is important in
the summer, remember UV rays can
find you year-round. If you follow these
“SUNSHINE” tips, you can be sure to
enjoy your summer responsibly and
protect your skin — the largest organ
in your body.

Dragon boat team finds friendship,
teamwork through paddling
By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden
H

ardly any Americans in the
boat speak fluent German, and the
Germans sometimes feel uncomfortable speaking English. But once the
race marshal yells “Go” everyone
starts paddling and no words are
necessary; only teamwork and the
desire to win.
Such is the nature of paddling
with the Lazy Dragons dragon boat
team, made up of U.S. Army Garrison
Wiesbaden community members and
their German neighbors. The team
proved its name otherwise this past
weekend at the annual Schierstein
Harbor Festival dragon boat regatta
July 11-12.
More than 20 teams from around
Germany gathered at the harbor to
paddle furiously to the finish line
over the course of two days. The Lazy
Dragons are traditionally the only
Americans represented, with some
fellow German paddlers mixed in
and vice versa. But with both teams
lacking the required 20 committed
paddlers to make a full boat, the Lazy
Dragons joined forces with German
paddlers on their coach’s other team,
Stifterappler.
“Paddling with the Lazy Dragons is so much fun, because they
are so nice, sincere and motivated,”
said Esther Pscheidt, a member of
Stifterappler who served as the team’s
drummer, perched atop a tiny bench
at the front of the boat to drum and
help paddlers stay synchronized.
“They never laugh at us when we
don’t speak English so well. We felt
welcome with them, and they are
very, very strong.”
“Paddling with the
Lazy Dragons is so
much fun because they
are so nice, sincere
and motivated.”
The Lazy Dragons had a rough
start at the first 250-meter race, but
steadily rallied to place first in the
Page 16
Herald Union
D finals. The highlight of their performance was the 2,000-meter race,
in which they improved from 11th
to 21st place. They finished at 11
minutes and 15 seconds, 30 seconds
ahead of the rest of the group.
Coach Gerd Stinner said it was
one of the best races in his career as
a dragon boat coach.
“I am sure it was a very interesting experience for both teams and
both took the advantage to learn a
lot about each other,” he said. “The
language barrier was much lower than
anticipated. That’s what I intended
when I started coaching the first two
American teams (comprised of members of the 1st Armored Division and
the American Red Cross) in 2008.”
For Lesli Hartelt, a newcomer to
dragon boating, the weekend was an
exciting introduction to the sport.
“My first races were tough. I
was excited and nervous at the same
time,” she said. “Coming in close to
last our first three races was a little
disappointing, but for our 2k race we
excelled. On day two of races, coming
[in] first for all our races was a great
boost to our morale.”
The team will continue to practice twice a week, sometimes with
Stifterappler.
“The unanimous view of the Germans on the team is: Let us continue
practicing and racing together. I share
this opinion,” said Stinner.
Their next race is the ESWE Cup
at the end of September. Stinner
hopes for more Americans to become
interested in dragon boating and, he

said, “the normal dreams of a coach:
developing and coaching a champion

“We are a pieced-together team
that changes almost every day,”
Hartelt said. “But somehow we make
it work. And that says a lot for any

this year. The team is open to any

Make a tasty casserole!
Hello friends of good cooking and
eating!
Today we will make a tasty casserole with
cauliflower, noodles and ground meat.
What we need:
Cauliflower, noodles, ground meat, salt,
ground white pepper, sugar, butter, oil, lemon juice, grated cheese, a small onion, four
eggs and a little jar of liquid cream.
First of all, cut the cauliflower in small pieces. Heat up water with salt, ground white
pepper and some sugar. Also add a teaspoon
of butter and a sip of lemon juice. When
the water is boiling, put the cauliflower in it
and cook it until it is almost done. Put the
cauliflower in ice water to stop the cooking
process. After cooling it down, put the cold
cauliflower in a strainer to dry it.
Don’t waste the cauliflower water. We will use that
next week for a
delicious
cauliflower cream soup. To preserve it, fill
the water into a jar and let it cool down.
Then put it in the freezer to keep it fresh for
next week.
Take a pan and heat it up. Put some oil in
it to roast the ground meat. Cut a small onion in slim dices. Add the onion into the pan
when the meat has roasted long enough to
get dry again. Add salt and ground white
pepper, and let everything roast for 10-15
more minutes.
Meanwhile we boil the noodles in salted water until they are almost done. Then put the
noodles into a strainer and cool them down
with cold water.
Now take your casserole
dish, put a small
piece
of butter in it to prevent it from sticking.
Then put the cooked cauliflower in the casserole, the noodles next and the ground
meat on top of it. Scramble four eggs and a
little jar of liquid cream with salt and white
pepper. Pour it over all the ingredients. At
last, put the grated cheese on top.
Your oven should be heated to 180 degrees
celsius. Put the casserole in it for 40 to 50
minutes, until all the liquid disappears and
there’s a nice cheesy crust on top.
If you like, you can serve it with a bit of lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad.
