66th MI gets new leadership
erald Union H Wiesbaden: Our home in Germany Vol. XXIII, No. 22 Aug. 4, 2016 66th MI gets new leadership By Jacob Corbin U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs The 66th Military Intelligence Brigade acquired new leadership in a change-of-command ceremony July 22. Col. Devon Blake took command of the unit, following the relinquishment of command by outgoing commander Col. David Pendall. Maj. Gen. Christopher Ballard, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, thanked Pendall for his time with and service to the 66th MI. “Thank you for all of your unwavering commitment to this brigade and its mission,” he said. “Your leadership has made a difference.” Pendall, in turn, thanked those he led during his time in command, saying they were the future of the intelligence field. “I’m proud of you all,” he said. “The last 25 months have been a very special time for me.” Ballard also expressed his pride in what 66th MI is doing today and what it will be doing in the future, and stated that Blake was the best person to take the reins of the unit as it moves toward that future. “She is the perfect officer to lead and sustain the 66th’s legacy of intelligence excellence,” Ballard said. Blake said in her short time with the unit — only a week before the change of command ceremony — she was incredibly impressed by the people she met. “I’ve been constantly imSee ‘66th MI’ on page 5 Photo by Dee Crawford Maj.

August is Anti-terrorism Awareness Month for the U.S. Army, and U.S. Army Europe is hoping to raise awareness of the terrorist threat by following one of the Army’s anti-terrorism themes for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016: “Focus on the use of social media for anti-terrorism awareness and community outreach,” including the risks associated with terrorist use of social media as a propaganda and recruitment tool. Anti-terrorism is the defensive element of the nation’s fight against terrorists through measures taken to detect, deter and defend against potential or actual terrorist plans or actions according to Keith Horne, force protection specialist for U.S. Army Europe’s Anti-terrorism Division. Horne said terrorism has always been a threat to the U.S. forces community, and perhaps a greater threat to military communities outside the U.S. He said that U.S. service members could be in danger even when they are not the terrorists’ intended target. “There continue to be threats within Europe, and what is most important to understand is that terrorism can happen anytime Learn rules for DoD this election season By Katie Lange DoD News, Defense Media Activity I’m sure you’ve all seen political posts in full effect on Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat recently. The opinions are just going to get louder, too, before the election this November. As members of the Defense Department, we have a responsibility to be smart about what we post, as well as how we participate in political activity and how we support political campaigns. DoD employees are limited to certain political activities under the Hatch Act, which is meant to protect employees from political coercion at work, as well as make sure employees move up in their careers based on their merit, not political affiliation. So for those who are politically active, here’s a See ‘Vigilance’ on page 3 Summer hires gain experience Program connects military dependents with garrison jobs, page 9.

News and features Ask the Community comment: After waiting such a long time for the German Kantine to re-open, I am a little disappointed. I remembered the old Kantine offering fresher, higher-quality food, in larger quantity for less money. Can we influence what this contractor offers us? Response: Your feedback has been passed on to the German Works Council to address with the Kantine operator. The German Kantine is under a special contract that was developed in coordination with the German Works Council, specifically to serve the German blue-collar workforce by offering affordable meals in a comfortable atmosphere. If you continue to be dissatisfied, the best thing to do is contact your German Works Council representative. He or she can direct you to the German Kantine Committee to work a codetermined solution between Management and the Works Council. This is the best way to affect change at this dining establishment. Community comment: Can any consideration be given to extending the operating hours of the fitness center? I feel that the hours of operation of this facility do not support the needs of this community. This is my first of 6 Military installations I have been to that does not offer a 24-hour fitness facility. I feel the current hours Garrison don’t support the competitive nature of our Military and the high importance stressed on fitness. Why do we not have more hours available in this gym? Why have an amazing fitness center filled with great equipment if you can’t keep it open long enough for the community that needs it? Response: Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback in regards to the Fitness Center. It is our goal within the MWR to try to provide and respond to your needs as quickly as possible. With that being said, we understand the frustration with the hours for the gym. We are currently over the baseline standards by having it open 100 hours a week. Baseline standard is only 90 hours a week. We unfortunately do not have the ability to change that. You are welcome to come in and speak with one of the trainers we have on staff and they can provide you with some workout variations that can address all of your fitness needs in a shorter timeframe so you can still perform at your desired fitness level. Community comment: We have an issue with non- residents of Crestview going through our garbage containers. We are the only housing area in USAG Wiesbaden that does not have secured garbage containers. Given the current security environment we face as American military members overseas, this presents a huge concern to the residents of Crestview. It’s very easy to spot somebody who goes through garbage. They start at one end of a street and hit every garbage container along the way. With the frequency that MPs drive through Crestview, they obviously see them. Is there something that can be done to mitigate the security threat this poses? Response: USAG Wiesbaden has a project to install lockable trash islands in Crestview. The trash islands will be the same as the ones we installed in Aukamm and Hainerberg. The residents will be informed through the building coordinators when the construction is supposed to start. -----------------------------------Editor’s note: In some cases, questions and answers have been summarized to address multiple concerns about a similar issue.

Every time I can go to the library I just rush down there,” said Emma Dean, a 9-year-old at the Hainerberg School Age Center. Thanks to a $20,000 Installation Management Command literacy grant, more of Dean’s Child, Youth and School Services program peers will be encouraged to develop a lifelong love of reading. “This was a literacy partnership initiative with IMCOM and we submitted a proposal on how we could increase leisure reading at the center while encouraging children to take it home with them,” said Hainerberg SAC Director Katherine Vahrenkamp. “I think reading as a whole has decreased among children — they’re playing more video games and such rather than reading. “This literacy grant will be used to buy books (both hard copy and e-books) and the software program (Reading Plus) to help participants keep track of their reading,” Vahrenkamp explained. “In the fall Reading Plus will send someone out to train our staff on how to use the program.” Books are being selected from a recommended Department of Education reading list, she added. “Because it’s Internetbased, we have iPads coming as well. That way the children can find a nice quiet spot at the center and continue reading,” Vahrenkamp said. “And maybe on nice days they can go outside to read.” The center director said she is inspired to help youths develop a “joy of reading” as a lifelong reader herself. “I loved reading when I was a child. Lots of times I’d finish books from the library before I got home and my parents would just leave them in the car to take them back,” she said, adding that the Clay School Age Center was also the Vigilance . . . . Continued from page 1 and anywhere,” Horne said. “Members of our U.S. forces community must continue to be aware of local threats and strive to maintain heightened awareness to detect terrorist activities.” One way the community can maintain its awareness is to follow U.S. Army Europe’s Anti-terrorism Division on Facebook or Twitter, at www.facebook.com/StaySafeAntiterrorism and www.twitter.com/StaySafeEurope. Both accounts are updated often with current and relevant force protection related information. “The month of August is popular for vacations for most of Europe,” Horne continued. “There will undoubtedly be higher numbers of travelers visiting popular tourist destinations throughout Europe, and with that comes an increased potential for terrorist-related incidents.” Horne recommends families have plans already identified and practiced, such as communications plans, in the event families become separated, and to have pre-determined rally locations easily understood by all members of the family.

Changes to car care services The Exchange Car Wash located in Mainz Kastel Station is permanently closed due to equipment that is beyond repair. The gas kiosk at the Mainz Kastel Car Care Center is now closed Sundays. The Hainerberg Express is open on Sundays for car care needs. Call civ (0611) 7238-6100 with questions. Clay traffic update Heerstrasse is closed through Aug. 28 due to construction. Upcoming road closures at the same intersection include: • Aug. 29 to Sept. 16, Heerstrasse and King Avenue will be closed. • Sept. 19 to Oct. 16, Lucas Street will be closed. Hainerberg traffic update Mississippistrasse is now closed to through traffic to support the Hainerberg Middle School construction. Access to the Self-Help Home Improvement Store, or S.H.I.P. is still possible. A new road segment along Virginiaweg is being completed to facilitate the flow of traffic around Hainerberg. The portion of Texasstrasse near the chapel now facilitates two-way traffic to provide vehicle access to facilities on Mississippistrasse. The section of Texasstrasse that passes in front of the elementary and middle schools is still one-way traffic in the direction of the Exchange. Point-of-purchase upgrades AAFES and the DeCA facilities worldwide have recently converted their point-of-sale equipment to accept EMV compliant chip cards. EMV compliant chip cards offer improved security and reduce the chances of card information being cloned and used by fraud syndicates for fraudulent transactions. During the conversion, customers using chip cards at the commissary may experience limited credit/debit card functionality. At AAFES facilities customers using chip cards are currently unable to get cash back at registers. AAFES is working with the vendor to restore the cash back feature by late fall and apologizes for the temporary inconvenience. Page 4 Herald Union Understanding how to fill out VAT forms can help save money Soldiers, civilians and dependents can get refunds on sales tax Story and photo by Erin Gavle Special to the Herald Union In the United States, a sales tax is added at the time of purchase. In Germany, a 19 percent value-added tax is built in to products and services (with a reduced 7 percent tax for food), which can sometimes come as a surprise to newcomers learning to manage their finances while overseas. The Value Added Tax (VAT) Relief Program can be used by Soldiers, civilians and dependents to obtain a tax refund when purchases are made on the economy, but in order to enjoy the full benefits of this program it’s important to under the process for acquiring and using the forms. The first step is going to the VAT office. “There’s a briefing that we go over with people when they first come in to get VAT forms,” said Randal Randers, tax relief clerk at the VAT and Utilities Tax Avoidance Program office. “The briefing goes over a few things, like the general processes for the forms, and also the few things they cannot use the forms for.” Sponsors must be present for this step, as they are ultimately responsible for any outstanding forms once they start out processing. Two types of VAT forms are available. The NF-1 form costs $5 and can be used for purchases up to 2,499.99€. Only 10 of these forms can be checked out at a time, but once you return one, you are eligible to take out a new one. The NF-1 form is commonly used for purchases like train tickets, short hotel stays, groceries and clothing. Multiple purchases from the same vendor can be put onto a single form. The other document, the NF-2 VAT form, costs $60 and is for purchases of 2,500€ or more — like a car, for instance. Before an NF-2 can be issued, certain requirements must be met. “We need a quote showing what’s being purchased and how much it would cost without the tax,” said Randers. The buyer also needs to show they are capable of making the payment in full, he added. “That can be done one of two ways. Either with a cashier’s A sign hangs in the VAT form office with instructions on how to properly fill out the form. check, if they’re basically buying it straight out. [They] can also [get a] letter of intent, or a loan letter, showing that they’re approved to finance the full amount without tax.” Only one NF-2 form can be issued at a time, and does not count against the 10 outstanding NF-1 forms. There are several items shoppers should keep in mind before using their VAT forms. The agreement between the German and American government doesn’t force all stores to offer tax relief. “They can accept [VAT forms], but there’s no law requiring shops accept them on the German side. It’s voluntary based on the vendor,” said Clifford Wix, program manager for the VAT/UTAP office. “I have seen situations where one vendor one day said ‘yes’ and then another family went back the next day, and because they got a different cashier, they said ‘no.’” The VAT office provides newcomers with a list of local vendors who will usually accept the forms. Even at VAT friendly stores, you may run into some confusion, according to Randers. “If it’s a big box store like IKEA, MediaMarkt, [or] Real, anywhere where you have multiple registers, usually the cashiers aren’t trained on how to fill these out.” “So the general procedures at most of those stores is you go through the register, just as you normally would, and then go to the Customer Service desk once you’re done with the purchase to get your tax refunded.” Other vendors are more comfort- able with the VAT process. “If you go to a small mom and pop shop [or] somewhere where there’s maybe one or two cashiers at most, usually they’re just going to fill the forms out at the register, and they will not charge any taxes on the purchase,” Randers explained. Each VAT form has several sheets of carbon copies which must be properly processed. The vendor keeps one copy of the form; the shopper should keep two copies; one for their personal records and one to turn in at the drop box located just outside of the VAT office. While there is no specific due date for the drop box copy to be returned, the sooner the better, in case there are any mistakes with the purchase or documentation. Confirming that a form is completely filled out at the time of the purchase is a simple way to avoid confusion, and ensure you are saving what you can. Forms are good for two years when they are issued, and are no longer valid after the date printed on them. If you return an expired form to the VAT office, you can’t get a full refund, as the document has personal information on it and can’t be reused. However, you can receive a $2 return credit that goes toward a new form. The documents don’t work retroactively. “If you bought something yesterday and didn’t have the VAT form, you couldn’t get a VAT form today and get the tax off for the day before,” explained Wix. “You cannot pay or negotiate before [you have] the VAT form [and still receive tax relief],” he said. “You can get a cost assessment, but if you put down any money at the time — [if you] pay one penny down — then we can’t issue that VAT form.” Tax relief is a benefit to military living overseas; however, violating the VAT rules can result in a loss of money, and in more extreme cases revoking your VAT privileges. The VAT office aims to prevent the latter. “When in doubt [about] when you can or cannot use a VAT form, call this office. We have the regulations here in the office on a lot of the grey areas.” The U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden VAT office is located in Bldg. 1023 East, Room 151, and can be reached at DSN 548-9107 and civ (0611) 143-548-9107.

All military personnel are also supposed to avoid implying or appearing to imply that any of their political activities are endorsed or sponsored by the DoD. However, when out of uniform, service members are allowed to express their personal political opinions, donate money to campaigns or organizations and attend political events as a spectator. But again, that’s out of uniform — not in it. Here are more specifics on the rules: Use of social media Family and MWR GM PROFI GmbH Anton Hehn Strasse 09 55246 Mainz Kostheim-Kastel Photo by U.S. Coast Guard You are allowed to express your personal views and politics via your own social media platforms, but when you’re doing that, and you’ve been identified as a DoD employee on that platform, make sure it’s clear that the views you’re expressing are your own, NOT the DoD’s. While you’re allowed to “follow,” “friend” and “like” a party or candidate, you’re not allowed to share or retweet information posted to that corresponding social media page. You’re not supposed to post links to that page’s content, either. It’s considered partici- pating in political activities. Always remember — don’t violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice or service regulations. That means don’t show contempt for public officials, post unprofessional material or release sensitive information. LIMITATIONS FOR DOD CIVILIANS Political activity While on duty or in a federal building, DoD civilian employees are not allowed to engage in political activities, such as sending or forwarding political emails or posting political messages to social media accounts, even from your own devices. Don’t ever use government equipment for those activities, either. However, when it comes to what you can do politically, there are basically two groups of civilians: Further restricted employees and less restricted employees. Use of social media Like the social media rules for service members, DoD civilians are allowed to express personal views and politics via their own social media platforms, but they have to make it clear that the views they’re expressing are personal and not the DoD’s. Since further restricted employees (as listed above) aren’t allowed to be part of partisan political activity, they also can’t share or retweet information posted to the social media page of a party or candidate. They can’t post links from a party or candidate’s account, either, but they can “follow,” “friend” or “like” them. Further restricted employees include: • Those appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate • Those serving in non-career senior executive service (SES) positions • Career members of the SES • Contract appeals board members • Employees of the National Security Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency and National Geo-Spatial Intelligence Agency The above people are prohibited from participating in political activity, especially any that’s sponsored or supported by a party, political group or candidate up for election. You also can’t solicit or receive political contributions. However, further restricted employees can make monetary contributions, express personal opinions and attend campaign events or fundraisers sponsored by a candidate — they just can’t actively participate. Less restricted employees include all DoD civilians who aren’t listed above, including schedule C political appointees. These people can volunteer with a political campaign or organization on their personal time. That includes organizing rallies or meetings, making calls on behalf of a candidate, serving as a delegate to a party convention and working for a party to get out the vote on Election Day. Less restricted employees still cannot solicit or receive political contributions, though.

Aug. 4, 2016 ......................................................................... www.wiesbaden.army.mil News and features Summer hires gain experience Looking for a mailbox? Story and photos by Erin Gavle Special to the Herald Union Most young people eagerly await the freedom from schoolwork and responsibilities that the summer brings. However, a group of 21 especially motivated Wiesbaden youth decided to dedicate six weeks of their summers to hard work and community involvement by participating in the Summer Hire Program. The annual program gives military dependents aged 14 to 22 the opportunity to make a paycheck and work in a real job around the installation. This year, Summer Hires are paid $6 an hour to fill positions that are either clerical or labor focused. According to Christopher Arthur, who is in charge of the program, “The overall purpose of [Summer Hire] is to provide the youth of today [an] opportunity to work and earn skills [that are] going to help them in their future, whether that’s going to college, or seeking employment after they finish high school, or putting on job applications their [work] experiences.” Dezja Price, 16, a clerical worker at the library, saw her summer job as a valuable opportunity. “This is a crucial time in my high school career where I need to start making money, so I can apply for college and have those savings,” she said. Additionally, she thinks the customer service skills she’s gained could be useful in a future career. “I do want to work with children [later] on. I spend a lot of time in the children’s section, and I get to read to them, so that really helps me [to see] that maybe this is something I’m interested in.” Dennis Sarsozo, 16, spent his summer as a clericalworker with the 2nd Signal Brigade and was tasked with researching and presenting a briefing on demographics in information technology. Sarsozo also thinks his Summer Hire experience could prove beneficial in the future. “[My job] introduced me to more fields I wouldn’t know Photo by Erin Gavle This mailbox, located in Newman Village, is one of several places to drop mail. Dezja Price catalogs returned books July 26 as part of her job as a clerical Summer Hire at the Wiesbaden Library. of. 2nd Signal is known for its network capabilities, so they introduced me to a bunch of network technicians, people who route all the telephones and servers and all that.” Sarsozo also noted that working in a real office allowed him to network and was a good way for him to build his resume and end the summer with a little more money in the bank. The Summer Hires aren’t the only ones who benefit from the program. According to Quentin Harvey, postal supervisor, “Summer Hires are a great addition to the workforce, especially during the summertime when we have all our vacations and things like that going on for all my civilians employees.” JoAnn Ogreenc, supervisory librarian, agreed. “The summer is a very busy time for the library, so it helps to have those extra hands to be able to do some of the things that frees up our staff to work more with the patrons.” Each year, Harvey and Ogreenc hope to get applicants who are mature and can follow directions. “We want someone who has good customer service skills, or who is at least willing to learn those skills,” Ogreenc explained. The program allows Harvey to positively influence Did you know community members can mail stamped letters and postcards at any of the four signature blue mail boxes located throughout U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden? Mail is collected from these locations Monday through Friday by the time indicated on the mail box. The locations and collection times are: Hainerberg • Located at the Exchange Mall just outside the middle entrance doors.

You have to give a little bit. You have to do a little output [to] establish that work ethic.” Every year there are a limited number of Summer Hire positions available, based on how many workers each organization wants, so applying early is recommended. Vanessa Lora, 19, who also worked at the 2nd Signal Brigade, was one applicant who learned this the hard way. “I tried last year, but there were just too many people who [applied earlier] so there were no spots left.” Fortunately, Lora secured a spot this year and thinks it’s been worthwhile. “As a college student, extra money is always good.

Aug. 4, 2016 ......................................................................... www.wiesbaden.army.mil Sports and leisure New tool for selection board By Daniela Vestal Army Human Resources Command FORT KNOX, Ky. — An online training tool for Soldiers interested in understanding how the enlisted selection board process works is now available. The tool, which is meant to provide Soldiers with an interactive learning experience of the selection board process, consists of an online video with printable training aids. The video is 49 minutes long and covers what a Department of the Army selection board is; how board members are chosen; how boards work; and how to prepare for your next board. The video also details the different types of selection boards, including the Qualitative Management Program and the Qualitative Service Program. The last eight minutes of the video is a mock board that is designed to place Soldiers themselves in the position of Alexis Belme, left, and Sarah Bennett stand with their Girl Scouts Silver Award certificates for completing a community service project that benefited Army Community Service and the Wiesbaden Red Cross. Inspired by the Girl Scout motto, “Be prepared,” Belme and Bennett collected more than $1,000 in hygiene and toiletry products for infants and children, for the ACS Family Advocacy program and to help replenish the Wiesbaden Red Cross emergency supplies. The project took the cadettes 50 hours to coordinate and execute. The prestigious Silver Award is the second highest award of the Girl Scouts of the USA, and the highest award a Girl Scout cadette can earn. board members and simulate the experience of grading and rating four different candidates. The tool was developed over the course of seven months by the Department of the Army Secretariat at Army Human Resources Command. “We waited to start the video until the release of the new (Noncommissioned Officer Evaluation Report) so we could incorporate it and the Select Train Educate Promote program into the presentation,” said Master Sgt. Tamika DeVeauxWallace, noncommissioned officer in charge, DA Secretariat. “Additionally, this tool goes into great detail. We reference several different regulations and explain concepts that can help Soldiers grow more successfully in their careers. For example, how something like a broadening assignment can assist a Soldier’s career and change how a board member views their file.” Outdoor Rec adventures See some of Germany’s most famous castles during the Wiesbaden Outdoor Recreation Bavarian Express Castles Tour Aug. 6; or explore the people, places, culture and history of the Czech capital during the Prague Getaway Aug. 27 to 28.

Page 12 Herald Union Overseas school lunch prices to increase this fall Families qualifying for free and reduced lunch will not be affected by change Army & Air Force Exchange Service release DALLAS — Starting August 2016, school lunch prices at all Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools outside the continental United States (with the exception of Guam) will increase because of rising operational costs and to comply with federal law. “Wholesome, balanced meals are vital to the academic achievement of school-age children,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Sean Applegate, Exchange senior enlisted advisor. “It’s important for us to keep offering these nutritious meals and, in order to do so and to keep pace with the increasing food and operational costs, the school meal prices will increase for the first time in more than four years.” The new increase is $0.10 per full price for elementary students’meals, making their new prices $2.50 and a $0.20 increase for secondary students, making their meals $2.75 for the 2016-2017 school year. The last price increase was $0.35 per meal in 2012. Families qualifying for the Herald Union archive photo Beginning this school year, school lunch prices at DoDEA schools outside the continental U.S. will increase to $2.50 for elementary school students and $2.75 for secondary school students. Free and Reduced Meal Program will not have an increase in the cost of their meals. Per federal guidelines, the cost of a reduced-price meal will remain $0.40 per meal. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (Public Law 111-296) requires DoDEA schools, as participants in the USDA meal program, to raise paid student lunch prices to a level comparable to the rates used for USDA reimbursement. To meet this requirement, prices in the OCONUS schools will be gradually increased over the coming years. As the designated School Food Authority, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service provides schools meals on a nonprofit, break-even basis, for the DoD School Meal Programs (SMPs). The SMP meets the same USDA guidelines as schools in the continental United States by providing meals that have the required nutrients for children.

Corinna Baltos 24th Press Camp Headquarters SMARDAN TRAINING AREA, Romania — One shot. One kill. If you watch Hollywood movies you may assume that being a sniper is only about killing people. However, while snipers are trained to kill, they also do much more. Sniper combat missions occasionally call for killing a target, but the sniper team, usually consisting of a shooter and spotter, is also trained to gather detailed reconnaissance and surveillance from a concealed position for air-strikes and artillery while acting as a force multiplier with fire support and counter-sniper tactics. It was these tactics that soldiers from Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Combined Arms Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, practiced at Smardan Training Area from July 17 to 22.

Corey Self, as he searched for his target with a Leupold Mark 4 Long Range Tactical Scope. During training, the soldiers worked on improving the accuracy of their target detection by practicing correct and rapid identification of random pop-up targets. “We use the scopes to identify enemy threats or signs of life, as well as look for things that are hidden,” said Sgt. Marlon Wilks. After completing the sniper range training, the Soldiers traveled to Cincu, Romania to take part in Saber Guardian. Saber Guardian is a U.S. Army Europe-led exercise, in the spirit of partnership for peace. It is designed to promote regional stability and security, while strengthening partnership capacity, and fostering trust while improving interoperability between Romania, the U.S., NATO and the Partnership for Peace member nations. It takes place from July 27 through Aug. 7 at the Romanian Land Force Combat Training Center in Cincu, Romania. USAREUR is uniquely positioned in its 51 country area of responsibility to advance American strategic interests in Europe and Eurasia. The relationships built during more than 1,000 theater security cooperation events in more than 40 countries each year lead directly to support for multinational contingency operations around the world, strengthen regional partnerships and enhance global security.

Aug. 4, 2016 Herald Union Page 13 For your health Soldier helps create possible Zika vaccine Once initial tests were run by Springer and his colleagues, the virus strain was taken into a clean room by researchers in biohazard suits, who continued testing it. Their job was to make sure the virus strain had been deactivated (much like the flu shot). Last week, the ZPIV that PBF researchers had been working on was successfully completed. It’s now being tested for purity, safety and immunogenicity (if it produces an immune response). By Katie Lange DoD News, Defense Media Activity For the past several months, Army Spc. Chris Springer has walked into the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research’s Pilot Bioproduction Facility, thrown on his lab coat and gotten to work running tests for researchers closing in on a Zika vaccine. He’s one of very few service members to get to work on the Zika vaccine. The Maryland facility doesn’t exactly have the high-tech feel one would expect. The rooms are reminiscent of a high school chemistry class – complete with tin foil, glass jugs and plastic tubes. There are pinkish-beige rounded bricks lining the decades-old walls, which are filled with refrigerators and freezers that give off a collective hum. But it’s not about the aesthetics there – it’s about the life-saving products the researchers create. Unlike many in the science and tech fields, Springer chose the military over a private-sector career, enlisting in October 2013 after getting a bachelor’s degree from Sam Houston State University. “I thought about joining throughout my life. After college I looked at my options, and it seemed like [the Army] had the best opportunities for me,” Springer said. “The military really is the most diverse organization or group of people you’ll ever meet.” He said he had some family in the medical field, so he decided to become a medical laboratory tech. He went to Where the process goes from there Photo by Katie Lange U.S. Army Spc. Chris Springer flashes a smile as he puts some of his work into one of the facility’s many refrigerators. advanced individual training for the specialty and also got an associate’s degree and a certification. He was assigned to WRAIR as a viral technician about a year and a half ago. “I feel very fortunate. I actually wanted to get a field unit, and they put me here, which is pretty much the exact opposite,” Springer joked. “But I lucked out.” How they made the vaccine so fast While many vaccines can take years to create, this one took only a few months.“We actually cleared our calendar so we could do Zika,” said the facility’s chief researcher, Dr. Kenneth Eckels.So how did they make it so fast? Here’s the gist: Pilot Bioproduction Facility researchers received a Puerto Rican strain of the virus, called Zika Purified Inactivated Vaccine (ZPIV), from a lab run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in February. Zika is a flavivirus similar to West Nile, dengue and Japanese encephalitis, which the facility has worked on before. With those viruses, researchers took procedures they tested in their lab and applied them to producing a vaccine for human clinical testing. Since those procedures are already in place, and Zika is similar to them, that’s also the goal for Zika. If all of the testing is favorable, the ZPIV vaccine will be given to clinical researchers for phase one of human trials, when human volunteers can test it for safety and immune responses. WRAIR officials hope trials will begin by the end of this year. WRAIR researchers have also begun taking all they’ve learned about Zika and transferring those techniques to Sanofi Pasteur, a company with whom WRAIR recently signed a cooperative research and development agreement. Sanofi has the capability to manufacture the vaccine at a much larger scale for phase two and three testing – when researchers actually use the ZPIV in areas with active disease to see how patients are protected. If it’s successful, Sanofi will manufacture ZPIV on a commercial scale. The Department of Defense will then be able to get the finished product from Sanofi for use. Remember to stay hydrated as summer heat increases By Health.mil With the summer heat upon us, it is important to take the proper precautions when spending time outdoors. The oppressive heat and increased activities can cause people to sweat, and the water in their bodies evaporates to help keep them cool. Bodies need to have an adequate amount of water to maintain the proper balance of electrolytes to function properly. All body systems and organs depend on water for regulation of cell health and vitality. This includes the nervous system (all the nerves and brain); cardiovascular system (the heart and all of the blood vessels that bring oxygen to the cells); Page 14 Photo courtesy of the U.S. Army With the current heat wave and temperatures often soaring to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it is important to take the proper precautions when spending time outdoors. pulmonary system (bringing oxygen from the air into the body and expelling carbon dioxide); gastrointestinal system (allows absorption of water and Herald Union nutrients to bodies and gets rid of toxic byproducts); and the integumentary system, otherwise known as skin, the largest organ of the body. Skin maintains everyone’s temperature. It is a protective barrier for the internal organs: urinary system (kidneys and urine tract that detoxifies the blood and helps maintain the exact amount of electrolytes and nutrients in our blood); the musculoskeletal system (which is a big reservoir of water in our bodies); and many more important structures and processes. Our body weight is comprised of approximately 50-to65 percent water. People need to pay close attention to keeping themselves and loved ones well hydrated during summer fun. Even mild dehydration can make individuals feel really bad – stomach upset, irritable, mild headache, achy joints and decreased performance. When urine is dark rather than a light yellow or clear color, it’s a good indicator the body is not getting enough water. Just remember that dehydration and these symptoms correlate with just about every organ and system in one’s body. Use common sense when deciding what time of day to be out and about performing strenuous work and exercise. Avoid these strenuous activities between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., especially on extremely hot days. Drink water and/or sports drinks every 20 minutes. People should keep water with them and wear loose, light colored clothing.

What better way to beat the heat than splashing around in a cool swimming pool? And while there are many fabulous indoor swimming facilities to choose from in our area, now is a great time to enjoy outdoor swimming and poolside sports. The following is a partial list of open-air aquatic facilities in Wiesbaden and surrounding areas. WIESBADEN Opelbad Neroberg This outdoor pool has the best view in the city!

Either side of the Rhein River between Mainz-Kastel and Mainz offers an artificial beach for the summer. For the beach on the Wiesbaden side, take B455 through Mainz-Kastel, and just before getting onto the final part of the bridge, stay in the far right lane and exit right, then take the first left following signs for Bastion Schonborn; follow the street along the water front taking you back under the bridge and to the historic fortress; the beach is right behind it. For the Mainz side, drive down B455 across the river, stay in the far right lane and park at the riverside parking garage and walk toward the city along the river walk. The beach starts right after the bridge and is open daily starting 11 a.m. To see a video, visit: https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=Th3mHrzLtbE&feature=you tu.be. www.wiesbaden.army.mil...................................................................Aug. 4, 2016 Herald Union Page 17 8 Great Day Trips in Germany with the Kids Tea house in Chinese garden in Luisenpark, Mannheim Story courtesy of MilitaryInGermany.com There is so much more to Germany than the wonderful churches and castles. Have you ever heard of farm golf or seen a Celtic house? Kids and adults alike will enjoy investigating German houses of the past and whizzing down a hillside in a toboggan. From swimming pools to steel factories, there are so many places to visit. Here are some ideas for great day trips that you can do, with or without the kids… the skyline. Cable cars run all over the plant like a chair lift runs up a mountain. Walking around, smelling the dust, noticing the weather feeling the immensity of the factory sparks the imagination into seeing what it would have been like to work there. A tour of the plant takes around 3 hours and is well worth the short drive to the Saarbruecken area. 1. Potzberg Wild Animal Park Every day from spring to fall there is a Birds of Prey Show at the Potzberg Wild Animal Park. Even visitors who don’t speak German get a thrill when the hawks swoop past. The spacious zoo has several animals and is a wonderful way to catch a glimpse of the wild boar that dominates the local forests. 3. Luisenpark Mannheim If you haven’t seen storks in the Ramstein area, you are sure to see them at Luisenpark. This unique and large park in Mannheim contains playgrounds, restaurants, and animals. Pink pelicans and flamingos play in the water. A butterfly may land on you in the butterfly house. Hidden behind the Chinese Garden are two Terra Cotta Soldiers from an ancient Chinese burial site. From relaxing in the shade, climbing in the playground and viewing snakes in the reptile house this park offers something for everyone. 2. Voelklinger Huette The Voelklingen Steel Factory closed its doors in 1986 when its equipment and manufacturing processes became obsolete. It is the only preserved plant of its kind and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors are permitted to walk all around the plant for a fascinating self-guided tour. Blast furnaces that look like large canisters dominate 4. Keltendorf Steinbach This Celtic living history museum lets visitors experience life in Germany 2,000 years ago. Children may get the opportunity to cut and sew leather to construct their own coin purse, or pound copper to make a medallion. See how grain was ground and check out the construction of Celtic structures. Plan ahead. This small museum is Photo by Ph0neutria / Shutterstock.com only open on the weekends. 5. Freilichtmuseum Bad Sobernheim About 500 years ago, several years after the Celts, and several before modern times, the Freilichtmuseum gives visitors a more recent look into Germany’s past. It turns out that life wasn’t too much different from the American Pioneers. There wasn’t water or electricity inside the houses, cooking was done over open fires, and houses were swept with hand-made brooms. A walking trip through all the buildings can easily last four hours as there are many open buildings. Rest at the restaurant or pack a picnic. Visit during a special event to see live demonstrations of what life was like. 6. Natural Swimming Pool Landstuhl The natural water filtration system gives this swimming pool its name. Hidden behind a building on the edge of Landstuhl, it’s surprising to see a large grassy area, water slide and landscaped swimming pools. Little ones can toddle among the pebbles in the ankle deep water, while big kids enjoy the low platform diving board and inner tubes. If all the play builds up the appetite, brats can be purchased or visitors can enjoy a picnic. A day can easily slip away as everyone enjoys the afternoon swimming, sunning and relaxing. 7. Alpine Slide Peterberg Although the thought of sliding down a hill in a metal cart on a track may seem frightening, it’s actually quite fun. The cars are towed up and then released at the top for a curvy, fun-filled ride down the hill. Each car has breaks which are easy to use, and parents can ride with their small children. In the winter there is a lift to bring skiers up the hill. It’s not too often we get the opportunity to spend an afternoon like this. 8. Farm Golf at Heuhotel Schanz With wooden shoes attached to a stick visitors try to hit a soccer ball into a bucket recessed into the ground. The course is laid out in a farm field like a golf course. After the round visitors can grab a beer and a bite to eat, and that’s not all. There is also a hay hotel. That’s right, you can spend the night in the barn on the hay.
