Need an aerial escort for a highvisibility VIP? Call the 1-214th.

Wiesbaden’s 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, provided support to President Barack Obama and his entourage of White House press corps, Secret Service and other support personnel during a visit to Europe March 18-26. The

1-214th sent 52 Soldiers and 11 UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to escort the presidential party.

It was the battalion’s third presidential escort mission. Last year the 1-214th supported Obama on his trips to Belfast, Ireland and Israel.

The 1-214th flew with the Marine Corps Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) and the Dutch and Belgian police aircraft, working hand-in-hand with the organiza-

tions to successfully accomplish the mission. Alpha Company, led by Capt. Kait Mandelkow, escorted the president in the Netherlands. Gulf Company, led by their commander, Maj. Cameron Albert, accompanied the president in Brussels.

“The Boy Scouts are going to help me with the campout,” said Parks, adding that she was inviting members of Hainerberg’s Chess Club to Aukamm for a special treat.

“There was a massive improvement in the skill of our players,” said Rabih Youness, Hainerberg special education paraprofessional and Chess Club coach.

Commentary

Freedom 6 Sends: Strategic priorities

Soldiers committed to the Army profession

By Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr.

Commander of U.S. Army Europe

The Chief of Staff of the Army’s next strategic priority is, in my opinion, the most vital and all-encompassing priority, as the foundation for everything that we are and achieve is built upon the commitment of Soldiers to our Army profession.

In this priority, the CSA charges us to enforce a professional environment across our Army, free of harassment that promotes and respects the individual

and preserve the trust that all Soldiers place in their leaders and in their chain of command.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and I would like to take this opportunity to focus on Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention, because Soldiers who are committed to our Army profession are committed to combating this issue. Sexual assault is a serious challenge facing the Army family; to address the issue, as part of the Army’s Ready and Resilient Campaign, U.S. Army Europe will conduct a theater-wide Ready and Resilient Day focused on SHARP this month.

Letters to the editor Ad scam warning

About a month ago I came to your office to tell about a scam that seems to be very popular in this area. Here’s how the scam works. When you place an advertisement in a newspaper or on Bookoo.com that you want to sell a car, you might get a very tempting offer of buying your vehicle without taking a look at the vehicle and without bargaining. The “buyer” might ask you a few questions about the condition of the vehicle, tell you a story that this car is for his/ her son or daughter, etc. All the communication is done through emails or text messages. Since the buyer is so busy, he or she offers to pay through PayPal and also offers you extra money so you can ship the vehicle to him/ her. Money will be transferred and you will be asked to ship the vehicle through a certain

agency. Here are two things to know. The buyer has all the rights. PayPal transfer can be charged back and in a bestcase scenario, you will lose money that you’ve paid for shipment. In a worst-case scenario, you’ll lose both — the shipment money and your car.

Be smart, and if it looks too good to be true, it is probably not worth risking.

In the end, it is the Soldiers who are committed to our Army profession, who are disciplined and adhere to our Army Values, who will win the fight against sexual harassment and assault.

I am continually impressed as I travel around United States Army Europe; whether it’s at a unit or an installation, I see increased leader engagement and Soldiers at every level looking for ways to combat the serious issues that face our force today, committed to our Army profession.

I am certain that we are on the right path; together we can accomplish any mission, overcome any challenge and truly exemplify what it means to serve in the profession of arms.

All Hands:

By Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Garrison Soldiers and employees took a little time out to recognize outstanding individuals during an All-Hands Assembly in the Wiesbaden Fitness Center March 28.

Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, led off the quarterly recognition event by welcoming new garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Roy L. Rocco.

“He knows garrisons and he knows Soldiers and we’re lucky to have him,” said Carstens.

“I’m happy to be back in Europe,” said Rocco who served in Vilseck and Darmstadt on previous tours. “When I left nine years ago I never thought I’d be back in Germany. … It’s nice to be home. I look forward to working with each and every one of you.”

Carstens drew applause from his listeners upon announcing that the garrison would once again be able to offer cash awards for outstanding customer service. “The FY14 awards guidance is out and you’ll see some award money starting today.

“We want to recognize some great employees in the workforce,” Carstens said, beginning by honoring the Directorate of Resource Management’s Gisela Schoenheim, the Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation’s Jerry Gardner, the Directorate of Public Works’ Udo Schmidt and the Religious Support Operations Office’s Spc. Leslie Tamez for “inspiring” him every day.

Carstens and Rocco also recognized several individuals for “external” garrison awards including the Trailblazer Club gold medal award winner Fred Proctor for pedaling more than 1,270 miles in one month, Bill Montgomery with the 2012 Excellence in Management Award for best bowling center in the U.S. Army, the Housing Office’s Victor DiMarzo,

Garrison recognizes outstanding service during employee assembly Mashonda Williams and Brigit Werkheiser with the Outstanding Housing Installation Team Award for 2013 and DFMWR’s Patricia Benz as the Association of the United States Army’s 2013 Army Civilian of the Year.

The Directorate of Emergency Services’ received the Golden Chicken Award for the “most interesting” ICE comment.

Garrison leaders explained that the customer service awards program, which recognizes outstanding service and support, was expanded to feature quarterly and annual awards in addition to the monthly recognition. Monthly winners receive $500, quarterly $750 and annual winners get $1,000.

During the All-Hands Assembly the Automotive Skills Center’s Joe Cooper, Wiesbaden Entertainment Center’s Chris Nance, Army Community Service’s Rolando DeLeon and DES’s Staff Sgt. Nickolas Bryant were recognized as monthly winners. DES’s Helen Lucy was lauded as the Quarterly Customer Service Award winner.

“We needed to procure recycling containers because we didn’t have any,” said Rickards, adding that by obtaining them another closing CID office they helped save money that can be used for other Army needs.

Col. David Carstens, USAG Wiesbaden commander, presented Green Boot Certificates to Lt. Col. Michael Hughes, Wiesbaden Health Clinic commander, and Rickards on March 24.

“The fact that such a small office has achieved Green Boot status is fantastic,” said Carstens, praising the Wiesbaden CID members for helping “give back” to the Army and the community.

The clinic, which was undergoing a national accreditation survey, used the Greet Boot Program to step up their environmental involvement, said Capt.

Thomas Tucker, clinic executive officer.

“This program helped us tighten up our environmental standards,” he said, pointing out that both the survey and Green Boot initiative encouraged a closer look at patient safety, recycling and efforts to reduce energy costs.

“This validated a lot of things we were already doing,” Tucker said, “such as how we as a clinic exercise good conservation. It helped bring structure to our energy conservation efforts.”

Carpooling, installation of bike racks and making recycling easier were all part of the drive. This included “getting people more in the habit of recycling through staff education and making the bins more accessible,” said Sgt. Phillip Curiel, the clinic’s Green Boot facilitator. Placing recycling bins in high traffic areas was one way of getting everyone to do his or her part, he said.

“I’m very proud of you and all the work that goes into this,” said Carstens while presenting the clinic’s Green Boot Certificate. “You’re sending a message to the community and the people who come into this facility. What you are doing isn’t only good for the Earth, it’s good for the Army and this community.”

Continued from page 1 ing field — 27 players from Hainerberg and seven from Aukamm — it didn’t take long for the Hainerberg chess wizards to whittle down the competition.

After several hours of battling through the brackets, the final four players, fifth-graders Sebastian Ortiz, Hana Sarver, Brock Stamper and fourthgrader Brendan Pharris — all from Hainerberg — were ready to face off for first through fourth places.

As Stamper faced Pharris for third- and fourth-place honors, Ortiz (last year’s champion) took on challenger Sarver to determine first and second places.

“I didn’t think I would get this far,” said Stamper, adding that playing “better players” during the year helped improve his overall game.

The practice paid off in the end for Stamper, who quickly checkmated his opponent to claim third place.

“This is my first year in Chess Club. I learned by play-

Meanwhile, at the next table, Ortiz had his hands full sacrificing piece after piece to Sarver.

“I was expecting to go against an Aukamm player,” said Ortiz. “In the practice tournament I barely beat her (Sarver). I really wasn’t expecting to go against her again.”

As the seconds ticked away with both players sacrificing knights, bishops, pawns and rooks, thinning the board to two

kings and a few black and white support pieces, it looked like the challenger might topple last year’s winner. But in the end, Ortiz’s cool head and offensive action prevailed with Sarver settling for second place overall.

“I started playing in the third grade,” said Sarver, adding that she enjoys playing chess because “it’s fun to do and good to learn because you think a lot and have to make the right moves to win.”

Ortiz thanked his coach, Rabih Youness, and the school’s Parent Teacher Organization for supporting the Chess Club. Youness also thanked the Exchange, USO, Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club and members of the 102nd Signal Battalion — the school’s partner unit — for donating prizes and helping make the tournament a success.

“After this tournament we’re planning a tournament in Ramstein on May 31,” Youness said, adding that Wiesbaden Middle School students are also invited to participate in the Ramstein competition.

Local administrators updated on community’s transformation

By Chrystal Smith

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Construction projects, traffic impact, environmental cooperation and upcoming events were the key topics discussed during the Executive Exchange Council held at the Community Activity Center on Clay Kaserne April 1.

Wiesbaden Lord Mayor Sven Gerich and Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, hosted local town mayors, administrators and representatives from the city parliament to provide an update on master planning strategies, major events and other matters related to the military community.

“We already have open and superb dialogue with the city so that we don’t wait for this council to address issues that may arise,” said Carstens, mentioning that the council is mandated by regulation to be held once a year, but the last meeting was preempted by the then pending outcome of the Wiesbaden mayoral election.

Since the last session in August 2012, a number of changes have occurred. The Wiesbaden military community saw the departure of two major tenant units and received U.S. Army Europe Headquarters. Several construction projects — the Gen. Shalikashvili Mission Command Center, Newman Village Housing, a new parking garage — have since been completed and new ones — the Gray Center, the Consolidated Intelligence Center, the Clay Kaserne and Hainerberg Access Control Points, the Army Air Force Exchange Service main exchange, the commissary, and the middle and elementary schools — are in progress or on the way.

And while at some point much of the information briefed was announced in the press during the last year and half, it was an opportunity for local administra-

Page 6

tors to ask questions to of decision makers and subject matter experts.

City and garrison representatives updated the group on completed construction projects, master planning for Clay Kaserne’s north side and Hainerberg Housing, and traffic route changes.

Major construction to the access control points at Clay Kaserne and Hainerberg Housing caused the most hands to be raised as some city officials expected the projects to severely impede traffic flow. However, garrison and city officials explained some of the well-thought out counterstrategies, which quelled much of the concern.

“If the solutions are implemented, we have played it through for success,” said Jörg Gerhard, Wiesbaden Tiefbau- und Vermessungsamt, who explained that stoplights would be added at designated points and synchronized to ensure efficient traffic flow. Additionally, streets would be restriped to form designated turning lanes, and public transportation options will be expanded from Hainerberg Housing to Clay Kaserne. “(Administrators from) Erbenheim and Bierstadt were brought early into the discussion, also. We’ve thought through the plan and what we’ve planned can work,” Gerhard said.

Concerns taken seriously

“I take very seriously the concerns of the local administration,” said Gerich, in response to questions about construction and traffic flow to Erbenheim’s Mittelpfad Strasse, the street leading to Erbenheim and Clay Kaserne’s north side. He also offered a couple of control measures to ensure parking opportunities near the Erbenheim cemetery would not be abused.

Carstens gave reassurance that military and other

community members are disciplined and will comply with garrison directives regarding the traffic campaign.

“Generally, Soldiers do what we tell them,” he said about using internal Clay Kaserne access roads when possible. “If we have this and are stressing its use, we can make it happen. Additionally, he added, there’s an effort to limit the amount of vehicles on roadways.

“More citizens are finding it easier to bike to work from Aukamm, Crestview and Hainerberg,” he said, noting that the Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation directorate will hold a bike-to-work orientation to show bikers the routes to use to navigate between the housing areas and Clay Kaserne.

The garrison announced several upcoming events for German-American cooperation and friendship which includes a German-American fest June 28 to July 4, community open house July 6, a Christmas concert in December and an all-hazards exercise Sept. 25.

“It’s a significant sign to the population that you are opening yourselves up for people to come visit,” said Gerich.

The garrison also highlighted its vigorous cooperation in energy conservation and environmental programs with the city. The list of accomplishments included the garrison’s recent participation in Earth Hour on March 29, the implementation of the “Green Boot” program, Earth Day activities, the opening of the Recycle Center, and the installation of photovoltaic cells on several Clay Kaserne buildings. The garrison will also continue its participation, alongside Wiesbaden industries and corporations, in the Ökoprofit/Ecoprofit initiative; this year it will showcase energy conservation measures used in the Wiesbaden Lodge.

Overseas, SHARP assistance is available to all adult ID cardholders. Soldiers and adult dependents of service members may receive direct long-term support from program specialists.

SHARP will see victims of sexual assault at any time they wish to file their initial report, 24 hours after an incident or years after it has occurred.

For harassment cases, SHARP must receive the complaint within 60 days of the last occurrence. After that, an assigned victim advocate will help guide

clients through what can seem like a maze of support networks, said Ronaldo DeLeon, SHARP coordinator.

“The added support helps to reduce stress and places all the primary decisions in the hands of the client,” he said. Victim advocates help victims navigate the services they feel are best, including counseling, medical attention and legal support.

SHARP’s 24-hour hotline is civ (0162) 296-6741.

“The hotline is staffed by trained advocates and is 100 percent confidential. If someone needs or wants support, please call us,” DeLeon said.

SHARP also offers training and education for all

ID cardholders.

The Bystander Education class that started this month teaches bystanders how and when to step in and prevent mistreatment of others.

“I’d like everyone to remember to stand up and speak up. They don’t have to do it all but they have a duty to do something. The Army recognizes this is not a victim issue,” emphasized DeLeon. “It is an offender issue and with a team of peers ready to stand up and speak up we can stop incidents of harassment and assault before they occur.” (Marlene Balzer contributed to this story).

On March 24 Obama attended the Nuclear Security Summit in the Hague, the Netherlands, where Alpha Company transported 40 support personnel between Schiphol International Airport and the Museum District of Amsterdam. On March 26 he addressed the European Union in Brussels, Belgium, regarding Russia’s annexation of Ukraine. Five Blackhawks escorted the party from Qortrijk

Airport to Flanders Field for a World War I memorial service.

The Guardian newspaper reported his trip to Brussels cost the city more than €10 million to provide extra security measures, but it caused no issues for the 1-214th.

“We were very familiar with what their expectation was and everything went as planned,” said Albert. “We had great coordination with our host nation partners as well as the Marines.”

“We hope to get the opportunity to work with them

again in the near future,” added Mandelkow.

The 1-214th is headquartered at U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden and has the largest military aviation footprint in Europe, with 49 aircraft and a presence in four countries.

Legal advice: Tips for U.S. taxpayers with foreign income Did you live or work abroad or receive income from foreign sources in 2013? If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, you must report income from all sources within and outside of the United States.

The rules for filing income tax returns are generally the same whether you’re living in the United States or abroad.

Here are seven tips from the Internal Revenue Service that U.S. taxpayers with foreign income should know: F Report worldwide income. By law, U.S. citizens and resident aliens must report their worldwide income. This includes income from foreign trusts, and foreign bank and securities accounts.

F File required tax forms. You may need to file Schedule B, Interest and Ordinary Dividends, with your U.S. tax return. You may also need to file Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. In some cases, you may need to file FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. See IRS.gov for more information.

F Consider the automatic extension. If you’re living abroad and can’t file your return by the April 15 deadline, you may qualify for an automatic two-month filing extension. You’ll then have until June 16, 2014, to file your U.S. income tax return. This extension also applies to those serving in the military outside the U.S. You’ll need to attach a statement to your return to explain why you qualify for the extension. This is only an extension to file; if you owe taxes you must pay by April 15, 2014, to avoid penalties and interest for late payment.

F Review the foreign earned income exclusion.

If you live and work abroad, you may be able to claim the foreign earned income exclusion. If you qualify, you won’t pay tax on up to $97,600 of your wages and other foreign earned income in 2013. You must report the income and

Page 8

exclude it; you may not simply ignore it. See Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income, or Form 2555-EZ, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, for more details.

F Don’t overlook credits and deductions. You may be able to take a tax credit or a deduction for income taxes you paid to a foreign country.

These benefits can reduce the amount of taxes you have to pay if both countries tax the same income.

F Use IRS Free File.

Everyone can prepare and efile their federal tax return for free by using IRS Free File.

If you make $58,000 or less, you can use brand-name tax software. If you earn more, you can use Free File Fillable Forms, an electronic version of IRS paper forms. Free File is available only through the IRS.gov website. Some Free File software products and fillable forms also support foreign addresses for those who live abroad.

F Get tax help outside the United States. The IRS has offices in Frankfurt, London, Paris and Beijing. IRS staff at these offices can help you with tax filing issues and answer your tax questions. Visit IRS. gov for more information.

You can get more on this topic in Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad. IRS forms and publications are available on IRS.gov or by calling (800) 829-3676.

F Local help is available.

Remember, the Wiesbaden Tax Center is a free tax filing service, with highly trained and certified personnel available to assist you in filing your taxes.

The Tax Center is located on Clay Kaserne, Building 1043, and open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and on Thursday from noon to 4:15 p.m.

Troop 107 honors newest Eagle Scouts Projects support environment, German-American relations Story and photo by Karen Ravensbergen Special to the Herald Union

Boy Scout Troop 107 hatched three new Eagle Scouts — Alexander Wieman, Seth Kraft and Jared Lanterman — in a ceremony highlighting their achievements as scouts.

Wiesbaden High School senior Alex Wieman, a scholar-athlete, helped a local representative for Jewish cemeteries identify and mark graves that were stripped of their markers by the Nazi regime during World War II. Working with an original 200-year-old cemetery registry, Wieman created 61 identification plates for the gravesites and also created an electronic database for all names in the registry.

“I feel like I learned a lot about the lessons found in history and the necessity of preserving the past,” he remarked. “It was really numbing to see gravestones stripped — a very unique experience.”

Senior Seth Kraft emphasized his lifelong passion for scouting and nature, which culminated in a project to protect

young saplings in the Rheinblick area under attack by nesting field mice. Working with the Frauenstein Forstmeister for the Wiesbaden Amt für Grünflächen, Landwirtschaft und Forsten (Office for Agriculture and Forestry), Kraft organized a team to build biodegradable hawk perches that were placed in strategic locations.

“This project helped support the community’s wildlife as well as German-American relations,” he said. “I also enjoyed the opportunity to showcase my leadership skills. I am already a strong leader, but I still learned a great deal about planning and attention to detail.”

Kraft will attend the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts where he will pursue a degree in physics.

Sophomore Jared Lanterman also worked with the forester on his project building snake habitats for the Aesculapian snake, an endangered species in the Wiesbaden area.

Lanterman commented on the importance of demonstrating leadership.

“I learned that I shouldn’t have to do the work myself, but demonstrate and

be an example to those helping,” he said. “You need to have a very detailed plan and make sure everyone is occupied.”

Lanterman will move to Maryland in August and plans to work as an umpire for baseball games.

Troop 107 has had more than 50 scouts earn Eagle in the past 10 years.

BOSS members pitch in to help at orphanage

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Wiesbaden Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers members helped improve the quality of life at a local orphanage April 1.

BOSS volunteers helped cut grass, painted and performed other yard work at Wiesbaden’s Jugendhilfeverbund Antoniusheim Orphanage as part of an outreach effort by Army Community Service, the German-American Outreach Kontakt Club and BOSS. “This is something I’ve wanted to do since I’ve been the volunteer coordinator,” said Earl McFarland, volunteer coordinator with U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s Army Community Service, explaining that working with Outreach Kontakt, “we’re seeing what organizations are out there who can use volunteers.”

McFarland explained that Wiesbaden military community volunteers have been helping out in a

kindergarten move to its new location next month.

“BOSS went out yesterday and assisted with spring cleaning,” he said.

“I’m also trying to establish a Big Sister program,” McFarland said, for a local organization that assists teenage mothers.

“For me it’s all about relationships. That’s the intent of this,” he said, to underscore German-American friendship. “My intent is to empower others to serve.

There’s always a need, and we’re looking for people to meet that need.

“We had a case where an orphanage needed woodwork done and a Soldier just happened to have that skill. There’s always talent out there, and I believe it will come forward when needed,” McFarland said, adding, “We have some awesome volunteers in our garrison.”

Kids News:

By Kierra Carr

Special to the Herald Union

“Kids News has been inspiring children all over Europe since 2007,” said Peter Witmer, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden school liaison officer.

Having started off as a television show for AFN Hessen, in 2012 it was changed to a radio format for AFN Wiesbaden, Witmer said.

Student participants ranging in grade from elementary to high school use the experience to inform the community about upcoming events ranging from testing to sports happenings, current events to other school activities.

“These kids get on the radio to inspire other kids to learn,” Witmer said, adding that Kids News also gives them an opportunity to develop their public speaking skills. “Some of the kids who do the news are interested in broadcasting while others just find it very interesting. … And it brings so much joy to the parents in the community — getting the chance to hear their children’s voices on the radio.”

“Throughout the eight years there have been more than 10 different producers and four

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, Albert Einstein and Amelia Earhart, among other such historical heavyweights, were alive and well at Hainerberg Elementary School April 1.

Third-graders brought them to life for their “Living History” project-based learning assignment, which had them choose a historical or present-day person with significant impact to research and emulate. Students prepared and memorized monologues on their person, dressed in character and then presented for parents and other Hainerberg students.

Testing Soldiers’ resilience with combatives

By Chrystal Smith

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

To the untrained eye, Army Combatives appear to be “a bunch of backyard wrestling” — two people rolling around on the floor jostling and grappling for dominance.

But to the learned, it is the quintessential example of a sport that proves one’s resilience.

Wiesbaden community Soldiers got a chance to prove that attribute and test their proficiency March 29 during a, basic rules, Community Intramural Combatives Tournament at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center, where more than 29 individuals competed across seven weight classes.

“The tournament gave Soldiers a chance to solidify their training, enforce the techniques and instill confidence,” said Sgt. 1st Class Adam C. Martinez, Team Resilience

through Sports captain, who said the competition allowed Soldiers to demonstrate their ability to execute the basic techniques before evolving to the next level.

Spc. Joshua Donohoe of the 24th Military Intelligence Battalion was a bit anxious to compete at first. Despite being overcome by his first opponent, he bounced back to get a win in his second match of the day.

“I was afraid that these guys would be much more experienced that I am,” he said after his second bout that paired him against the person who took down the person who defeated him earlier that day.

“I was a little surprised that winning that match would be that easy.”

Donohue, who will report to airborne training this month, said that participating helped reinforce his core fortitude.

“If anything, it’s helping me to dig down and fight through,” he said, commenting that he employed a strategy involving constant motion to offset his opponents. “ W h e n things get

Sgt. Ron Anderson, 2nd Military Intelligence Battalion assistant coach, could be seen watching and heard coaching and cheering his Soldiers on from the sidelines throughout the day.

“They know I care about them. I give 100 percent to them,” he said, explaining his intense focus on the sidelines that led to the 2nd MI team

winning the overall event.

“They kept their heads up, listened to what I said and kept going for it.”

Anderson too agreed that the sport exemplifies resiliency.

“It’s not over until the referee calls it or the bell rings,” said Sgt. Ron Anderson, mentioning how at any time in the match one may be ahead in points, but the underdog can rally through a submission move before the final horn to claim victory.

Donohoe finished atop his class for the gold and said he was in high spirits.

The tournament was one of three intramural-level events that will be offered in the community. Unit teams that compete earn points towards capturing the commander’s cup.

Results: 125-pound: Justin Cregger first place, Alyssa Briggs second place; 140: Donovan Cox, Brandon Alexander, Justin Cregger; 155: Andrew Hernandez, Sidney Johnson, Kristopher Dimond; 170: Joshua Donohoe, Michael Horner, Jake Maytum; 185: Steven Bernstein, Zachary Caufmen, Mickael Wheelock; 205: Charles Webb, Henry Gundacker, Jason Lee; +205: Steven Brown, Felipe Tristan, Derrick Davis. Team overall: 2nd Military Intelligence Battalion earned 137 points and 24th MI earned 114.

Team Resilience through Sports is seeking to get more people involved as participants and supporters to highlight more sports offered in the community. It holds its next combatives tournament May 10, and volleyball and softball intramural seasons are in progress.

His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists. Also stars Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman and Rebecca Hall.

Bears (G) — A year in the life of a bear family is showcased as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting — but risky — as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food.

The Most Traditional French Desserts A

Crème brûlée

starter, a main dish and a dessert… this is what a traditional French meal looks like. But which are the most traditional French desserts? Well, it all depends on the region. Alsace and Lorraine have the kugelhopf, the wine cakes and the rum baba; Provence boasts its calissons, while Brittany will spoil you with pancakes (both sweet and savoury) and “quatre-quarts” (pound cake). However, there are also traditional desserts for the whole French territory such as the Yule log, the floating island (eggs in snow), the famous crème brûlée and many others.

This delicious dessert, normally served at room temperature, consists of a rich custard base and a layer of hard caramel. The custard can be flavored with vanilla, lemon, orange, chocolate, Amaretto, and others flavors. It first appeared in François Massialot‘s 1691 cookbook.

The Yule Log

The Crème brûlée

The Kugelhopf

A yeast cake of Austrian origin, the kugelhopf is a sort of brioche (a highly enriched bread), usually made with raisins. The recipe was introduced to Versailles by Queen Marie Antoinette. In Alsace, this crown-molded marble cake has become a traditional delicacy to be savored on Sunday morning at breakfast.

The Floating Island

This French dessert consists of meringue floating on crème anglaise (a vanilla custard). The floating island is a very light dessert made of whipped egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract then quickly poached.

Egg yolks, vanilla, and hot milk are briefly cooked to make the crème anglaise. The decoration may also consist of flaked and toasted almonds, pralines or lemon zest.

The Kugelhopf

The Rum Baba

Resembling the kugelhopf, the rum baba has been brought from Poland by the exiled king Stanislas.

As the name says it, it is saturated in rum and filled with whipped cream.

The Quatre-Quarts

Another traditional dessert whose recipe is partially betrayed by the name, the “quatre-quarts” (literally, four quarters) is an easy-to-make pound cake. The measure is given by the amount of eggs, to which the same number of spoonfuls of sugar, flour and butter are added.

The Calisson

The Calisson

This delicious dessert made of almonds and candied fruit is a great gourmet specialty of Aix-enProvence. Some claim its origins go back to medieval Italy, while other versions state it appeared in its modern form in 1473, when it was served at the wedding feast held on the occasion of King Rene de Anjou’s second marriage.

Herald Union

A traditional Christmas cake in the whole France, the Yule log (bûche de Noel) dates back to the 17th century. Its origins lie in the custom of burning an enormous log of wood called Yule log on Christmas Eve. Although this tradition disappeared in the 19th century when the cast iron stoves appeared, replacing the traditional fireplaces, the Yule log remained on the festive tables in the form of a delicious chocolate cake.

These are just of few examples of traditional French desserts. The exquisite cuisine of the wine country has been the subject of numerous books, TV shows and magazine articles. Besides many other delicious dishes, desserts are a good reason to visit a French restaurant or, even better, take a short trip to France and taste the original for yourselves – living in the heart of Europe has many advantages!
