planners and administrators were hard at work reshaping the face of Wiesbaden’s schools. “This is part of the phased plan to replace
all of our school facilities in the next decade,” said Peter Witmer, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden school liaison officer. “We’ve seen Clay Kaserne transform, and now we’re transforming Hainerberg Housing. “There are a lot of moving parts,” Witmer said, explaining that the most obvious indication of that change is ongoing work on Wiesbaden High
School which sees many students attending classes in temporary classrooms while work continues to remove old structures and to put new ones in place. “The community and Department of Defense Dependents Schools have gone to great lengths to ensure that these are high quality facilities,” he said, adding, “It will See Welcome back on page 16

Active recycler

In order to do this most effectively, we need your help and involvement. We look forward to working with you.
trails and various playgrounds in Clay Housing. When I moved to Wiesbaden and registered my pet, the rules were clearly explained to me, so I can only assume that this is a flagrant disregard of a known regulation. Is there any way that signs can be installed at various points along the Clay Housing walking trail to remind individuals that Clay Housing is not an off-leash area? Also, is there a way to re-educate members through area housing representatives or through the first sergeants to help curb the problem? Response: John, thanks for your concerns. Policy Letter 15 is quite clear that violations should be reported to the Military Police and building/section/area coordinators should be addressing violations brought to their attention. CP15 and other policies are also addressed in the Housing newcomer’s briefing and will be featured again in an upcoming Housing Newsletter. Should you observe a policy or regulatory violation in the future, please report it to the MP Desk as this will help garrison officials act upon these issues immediately. We are looking into the feasibility of placing signs at locations around the garrison.

Recruiting for Special Forces
inviting them to participate in the Rand Military Workplace Study, Defense Department officials said. Active and reserve component members in all military branches and the Coast Guard are being invited to participate. “The survey is unprecedented in its scale and will influence policies that affect everyone in the services,” defense officials said. It’s voluntary and confidential. No one at the Defense Department will ever see how an individual service member responds, officials stressed. “No service member may be ordered or pressured to complete the survey or not to complete it,” officials said. Survey respondents can forward the survey to their personal email addresses and they can complete the survey on smart phones. Service members can use duty time to complete the survey. The study will help commanders at all levels evaluate current military workplace relations, professionalism and personal safety, officials said. The survey is being conducted independently of the Department of Defense by experts at the nonprofit, nonpartisan Rand Corporation. A full and public report of the Rand findings will be available in May 2015. (Defense Department release)
Rabbit advisory
If you see a rabbit that has visible puffiness around the eyes and appears fatigued (won’t run when you approach it), then it may be sick with a virus called Myxomotosis. Rabbits that become infected by the myxoma virus develop skin tumors followed by fatigue, fever, and panting and usually die within 14 days. The virus is rabbit-specific and does not pose a danger to humans (or cats/ dogs); however, as with any wild animal, contact should be avoided. If you notice a rabbit displaying symptoms of being sick, contact the Directorate of Public Works Customer Service at civ (0611) 705-9999.

Gearing up to build Hainerberg Housing’s new Access Control Point
Workers demolish buildings in Hainerberg Housing, behind the new Army and Air Force Exchange which is currently under construction, in preparation for the start of work on the new Hainerberg Housing Access Control Point. During a Teachers’ Welcome event at Wiesbaden High School Aug. 20, officials said they expect the new Exchange to be completed by the spring of 2015 when AAFES will begin moving into the facility. Construction of the Access Control Point, originally planned to be completed at the same time, will take longer, officials said, with completion most likely not until the fall of 2015.

Andrew D. and three others commented: I would just like to add my voice to the people who were extremely impressed with the fireworks display. MWR has done a fantastic job the last few years — great event. … Amazing — how did they get so much stuff on this street. … This is probably the cleanest and nicest fest we’ve ever been to. … this was the best Fourth of July outside the United States that I’ve ever been to. Wow, just wow. Response: Thanks to everyone for the great comments and feedback. I know your appreciation goes a long way into making those who put so many extra hours of effort into ensuring an enjoyable German-American festival feel it was certainly worth the hard work and dedication.
American flag at Veterans Park
Bill S. asked: How can we have a POW/MIA memorial at Veterans Park on Clay Kaserne and not have an American flag flying 24/7? There is a pole and no
flag, except the little baby ones you buy for your children on the Fourth of July and Memorial Day. Unacceptable. Response: As you noted, there is a flag pole at Veterans Park; however, the intent of this pole is to fly the POW/ MIA flag on authorized flag display days. As per AR 840-10, only one U.S. flag will be flown at one time on a U.S. Army installation. U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s U.S. flag is currently displayed in front of the U.S. Army Europe Headquarters on Boyd Boulevard. Permanent 24-hour display of the U.S. flag is authorized at memorials outside of the installation as long as the flag is properly illuminated with its own source of light during hours of darkness. This does not apply to our garrison since Veterans Park is inside the installation. As the symbol of the nation’s concern and commitment to achieving the fullest possible accounting of American prisoners of war or missing in action, Army installations are allowed to fly the POW/MIA flag beneath the flag of the United States on POW/MIA flag display days, specifically: Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, Flay Day, Independence Day, National POW/MIA Recognition Day, Veterans Day and on occasions when the installation is hosting POW/MIA activities. Thank you for your concern and interest.

housing areas, he added. The MPs and Polizei responded to the active shooter in teams of four, making their way to the shooter downstairs, apprehending and handcuffing him on the ground. “It’s interesting to see the progression from not knowing how to work together to working together really well,” noted Master Sgt. Paul Evans, provost sergeant, “especially given the language barrier.” The main point was getting the Soldiers and German officers to gain confidence so they will act in high stress environment, added Ecko. “This is one of the best projects in my 40 years of police work,” he said. “It takes a group of involved and engaged people, and that’s what we have with our American counterparts. We have great cooperation.” The Polizei conduct active shooter training quarterly.
Pop pop. The sound of gunshot echoes up the stairs. The smell of gunpowder wafts through the air. “You’re all going to die,” screams an unidentified man. The team of four police move swiftly forward as a unit, crouched and clutching each others’ vests. “Police,” one yells. “We’re coming.” Turning the corner, they face the shooter and with four against one, he drops his weapon. He’s handcuffed, and the danger is gone. Fortunately, it’s just a drill. The officer in charge breaks the scene with a hearty congratulations for a job well done, slapping the officers on their backs. The 529th Military Police Company teamed up with the 4th Precinct Polizei to participate in Polizei-led active shooter training to familiarize Polizei officer with American facilities and share tactics. The training culminated with exercises designed to practice tactics and test communication procedures between MP and Polizei dispatch centers Aug. 13-14 at Wiesbaden Middle School, according to LTC Joseph Hissim, director of Emergency Services. One of the lessons learned from the Washington D.C. Navy Yard shooting last September was that the D.C. Metropolitan Police responding to the installation to assist military police were not familiar with the base facilities, said Hissim. It is important that Polizei officers from the 4th Precinct are familiar with our facilities and that our response procedures are coordinated, because they cover the An MP awaits his teammates and takes cover by a Aukamm, Crestview, and Hainerberg patrol car during an active shooter exercise.

Stay safe on and around school buses When meeting children at the bus stop here are some things to remember: l Do wait on the same side of the street as the bus stop and meet your child at the bus stop. l Do not wait in a parked car, in a building or for your child to come to you. The bottom line is that when you meet your child at the bus stop, take charge of the situation. You are the adult — only you can reduce the risk and control the danger. When getting on and off the bus: l Be on time — walk, do not run to the bus stop. lWhen waiting for the bus, take at least three large steps away from the curb.
l Take your seat on the bus and stay in it while the bus is moving. If there are seat belts, buckle up. l When getting off the bus, take three large steps away from the curb and wait for the bus to leave before crossing the street. l Never cross the street in front of or behind the bus. Danger zones: l Educate your children on the danger zones as shown on the graphic below. Take extra precautions when near a school bus. Teach them to never cross in front of or behind a bus.

New bins, trash pickup helping recycle efforts U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Directorate of Public Works officials recently announced an updated trash pick-up schedule for Aukamm Housing and the introduction of biodegradable (bio) waste bins in Aukamm and Hainerberg Housing to occur around mid-September. “We have an immediate change in the trash pick-up schedule for Aukamm Housing,” said Peter Zeisberger USAG Wiesbaden’s DPW landscape manager.

Herald Union
“From now on the packaging (yellow bag/containers) are emptied at Aukamm Housing on Mondays. “Additionally, the multi-stairwell residents at Aukamm and Hainerberg Housing will receive a biodegradable (bio) waste bin by mid-September 2014. Crestview Housing will follow later,” Zeisberger said. The containers for biodegradable/ biological waste are solely for compostable waste from the kitchen and garden, he explained. “Up to 40 percent of household refuse is biological waste. It is turned into compost in large-scale compost plants and can be used as fertilizer. Bio waste is also used in large bio gas plants for energy production. As a result, biological waste is 100 percent recyclable,” Zeisberger said. The state of Hessen is enacting a new law that will require all residents to recycle their biological waste with the new law taking effect in 2015, he said. Until then, the USAG Wiesbaden
will provide all housing areas with appropriate recycling containers. The pick-up schedule during the winter months (December to midMarch) is every second week. During the summer months (mid-March to the end of November) pick-up is weekly. Zeisberger offered the following tips for handling the bio waste bin: 4 Line your bin with newspaper to keep it dry and clean. 4Rinse your bin with a garden hose from time to time. 4 Wrap leftovers in newspaper to prevent odor and moisture. 4 Collect bio waste in special biodegradable bags. 4 For additional green waste such as leaves and grass, brown bags are available at the Self-Help Home Improvement Store in Hainerberg Housing and at the Reuse and Recycling Center on Clay Kaserne. Community members have been highly engaged in recycling, Zeisberger said, adding that thanks to improved recycling habits encouraged by such
programs as the Green Boot Program, the yellow waste containers for packaging materials will be back at various trash collection points on Clay Kaserne. Changes are scheduled for the beginning of September, he added. For more information about refuse pick-up, recycling, German environmental laws and other aspects of waste separation, visit the garrison’s home page at www.wiesbaden.army.mil and click on the Recycling button under the Useful Links button.

IRS repeats warnings about phone scams The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration continue to hear from taxpayers who have received unsolicited calls from individuals demanding payment while fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS. Based on the 90,000 complaints that TIGTA has received through its telephone hotline, to date, approximately 1,100 victims have been identified as having lost an estimated $5 million from these scams. “There are clear warning signs about these scams, which continue at high levels throughout the nation,” said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. “Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call from out of the blue, but through official correspondence sent through the mail. A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say

they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment. This is not how we operate. People should hang up immediately and contact TIGTA or the IRS.” Additionally, it is important for taxpayers to know that the IRS: • Never asks for credit card, debit card or prepaid card information over the telephone. • Never insists that taxpayers use a specific payment method to pay tax obligations. • Never requests immediate payment over the telephone and will not take enforcement action immediately following a phone conversation. Taxpayers usually receive prior notification of IRS enforcement action involving IRS tax liens or levies. Potential phone scam victims may be told that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS or they are entitled to big refunds. When
unsuccessful the first time, sometimes phone scammers call back trying a new strategy. Other characteristics of these scams include: • Scammers use fake names and IRS badge numbers. They generally use common names and surnames to identify themselves. • Scammers may be able to recite the last four digits of a victim’s Social Security number. • Scammers spoof the IRS toll-free number on caller ID to make it appear that it’s the IRS calling. • Scammers sometimes send bogus IRS emails to some victims to support their bogus calls. • Victims hear background noise of other calls being conducted to mimic a call site. • After threatening victims with jail time or driver’s license revocation, scammers hang up and others soon call back pretending to be from the local police or DMV, and the caller ID supports their claim. If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here’s what you should do: • If you know you owe taxes or you think you might owe taxes, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. The IRS employees at that line can help you with a payment issue, if there really is such an issue. • If you know you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you owe any taxes (for example, you’ve never
received a bill or the caller made some bogus threats as described above), then call and report the incident to TIGTA at 1-800-366-4484. • If you’ve been targeted by this scam, you should also contact the Federal Trade Commission and use their “FTC Complaint Assistant” at FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your complaint. Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS. The IRS encourages taxpayers to be vigilant against phone and email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to request personal or financial information. This includes any type of electronic communication, such as text messages and social media channels. The IRS also does not ask for PINs, passwords or similar confidential access information for credit card, bank or other financial accounts. Recipients should not open any attachments or click on any links contained in the message. Instead, forward the email to phishing@irs.gov. For more information or to report a scam, go to www.irs.gov and type “scam” in the search box. More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov. For local assistance, contact the Legal Assistance Office, Wiesbaden Legal Center, located on Clay Kaserne, building 1023W, at mil 337-4725 or civ 705-4725.

Back to school doesn’t only mean back to the books, but for a number of Wiesbaden High School student athletes and coaches it means back to competition on the gridiron, courts, trails and links. Coming off of a championship season, the Wiesbaden Warrior football team is aiming to defend its Division I reign and winning record. Most of the team is returning, and with them, a lot of talent, said Coach Steven Jewell. But “to be truthful, a successful year isn’t only about that — kids improving, being good citizens – the journey for me is most important,” he said. “Obviously we’re trying to win championships, though. I couldn’t ask for a better group of kids.” Standouts include CJ Pridgeon and Tim Cuthbert, returning All-Europe players, as well as key returners from last year’s championship team: speedster Anthony Little, Alfred Freed, Hunter Lunasin, Jack Tone, Donovan Wright, Akheem Cranfield, Travis West, Keyshaun Green and Isiah Bednash to name just a few, Jewell said.

For your health
Flu shots: Are your children prepared? By Jacqueline D. Watkins U.S. Army Public Health Command
Parents, have your children received their annual influenza vaccines? Influenza, commonly known as “the flu,” is defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a contagious disease that is seasonally spread throughout the United States. Everyone is susceptible to contracting the influenza virus. However, research shows risk is highest among children. The influenza virus is more dangerous than a common cold for most children. Each year more than 20,000 children under the age of 5 are hospitalized due to influenza complications, and some of those illnesses have resulted in death. All children under the age of 5 are susceptible to influenza complications, but research indicates certain children may be more vulnerable. The CDC reports severe influenza complications are most common among children under the age of 2. Furthermore, children with chronic health problems such as asthma, diabetes and disorders of the brain or nervous system (such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy) have an increased risk of developing severe influenza complications. The severe health complications caused by the seasonal influenza virus can be prevented. To protect your children from the flu, the CDC recommends every child beginning at age 6 months receive an annual influenza vaccine. Because infants under 6 months are unable to receive the influenza vaccine, parents and older children in the household are highly encouraged to receive the influenza vaccine. This prevention strategy

To protect children from the flu, the CDC recommends every child beginning at age 6 months receive an annual influenza vaccine. is the best safeguard to protect infants from contracting the influenza virus. There are a variety of influenza vaccines available for children. For instance, one type, called trivalent, protects against three strains of the influenza virus (usually, two types of influenza A viruses and one influenza B virus). Another, called quadrivalent, protects against four strains. Furthermore, some vaccines are given as an injection (shot),
while others are given as a mist sprayed into the nose. The wide variety of influenza vaccine options can be confusing for most parents. To determine the influenza vaccine most appropriate for your children, consult your pediatrician or primary care provider. The best way to protect your children from contracting the influenza virus is to ensure they — and you — receive an annual influenza vaccine. Once you
and your family have received your influenza vaccines, it will take approximately two weeks for antibodies to develop to protect your family against the influenza virus. Remember: everyone must receive the influenza vaccine to ensure children are protected before the influenza outbreak spreads throughout your local community.

Global Assessment Tool 2.0 for spouses By Tom Blakely
U.S.Army Garrison Wiesbaden Ready and Resilient Director
In order to build resiliency and change the Army culture, programs and tools must focus on the total Army of Soldiers, civilians and family members. Being an Army spouse brings with it a myriad of challenges unique to the military lifestyle. By enhancing the resiliency of Army Families, they will be able to thrive and remain strong through these challenging times. The Army’s Global Assessment Tool, or GAT 2.0, is just one of these tools, and it’s not just for Soldiers. Spouses are also able to take advantage of this confidential, online self-assessment tool that measures the user’s level of resilience, overall health and wellbeing. As a first step, spouses have to visit https://

armyfit.army.mil, and register for an account by clicking “ArmyFit Login” and then “Sign Up” under “Don’t have an account.” The user must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System in order to register an account. After completing the GAT 2.0, the spouse receives an assessment in each of the five dimensions of strength: social, emotional, spiritual, family and physical, and an assessment in the three elements of the Performance Triad — sleep, activity and nutrition. The GAT 2.0 arms Army spouses with the tools they need to stay strong throughout Army life. The GAT 2.0 ensures each spouse receives tailored recommendations on how to improve, experts to fol-
low and communities to engage. Spouses can also blog, access online resources and fitness experts, and undertake self-improvement challenges with others on ArmyFit. Spouses can also join online health and fitness communities with a wide range of resources from the Army and civilian world.

But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb, he must do his best to gather his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand — with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista and Zoe Saldana. Hercules (PG-13) — This story begins after the original story of Hercules.

He must be Hercules. Stars Dwayne Johnson and Irina Shayk.

Continued from page 1 process of adjustment for some teachers and students. As (former Principal) Sharon O’Donnell used to say, ‘construction will not stop instruction.’” Richard Deaner, project manager and facilities engineer for DoDDS-Europe said demolition of the school’s old buildings is slated to begin near the end of October. “The new project is 95 percent designed, with a construction start scheduled for the spring of 2015,” Deaner said, adding that work should take about two years and be completed around spring 2017. The new school will meet Leed (Leadership in Energy and Environmental) Silver standards, Deaner said, including a variety of environmentally friendly features such as sensor lights, lower-flow toilets and other aspects designed to reduce costs and save resources. Other new features to meet 21st century educational specifications include turning classrooms into studio space with common areas, creating a new “black box” theater offering more flexibility and various other updated designs. “I think it’ll be a great building,” Deaner said, adding that designs for the new middle school and elementary school are at 35 percent completion with construction projected to start about six months after the high school is completed. “The new middle school will be located across the street from the current elementary school,” he said, explaining that students will stay in place in the current facility until the new middle school is completed. Once the new middle school is finished, those students will move and the old school will be demolished with construction of the new elementary school to occur in that space while students continue to attend school in the current facility. Deaner said DoDDS and garrison of-

What you’ll miss when you leave Germany Although there are times when living in a foreign country is difficult and you’ll find yourself missing home, once you PCS out of Germany, there will be a pretty long list of things you’ll miss.
story by Susan Melnyk, contributing writer I found this out the hard way over the past few months, when our tour in Germany ended and we were PCS’ed back to the U.S. After just two years in Germany, I had fallen in love with the pace of life and the perks I’d come to take for granted in our short time there. Here are a few of the things I think you’ll also miss when you leave Germany, and a little reminder of what you should take full advantage of while you are still stationed overseas. Happy travels!! Bakeries Oh you beautiful, beautiful German bakeries. Upon arriving at our new home station back in the U.S., I was excited to learn that there was a European bakery in town. Although the place is fantastic and has a wide range of options, nothing quite matches the first time you walk into a German bakery, large or small. The range and quality of the baked breads, cakes, and pastries in Germany (and the rest of Europe) are unrivaled on the other continents. Throw out the scale and enjoy them while you’re there!
different kinds of breads and rolls. But you should try... you should definitely try!! Shopping and grocery stores within walking distance If you lived off base in Germany, I can almost guarantee that you were within walking distance to a bakery, grocery store, or shops. Being able to walk to grab a little something for dinner or do a little window shopping is one of the great luxuries of being based in Europe. Leave the car at home and explore! Spend less time at the gym and more of it exploring this beautiful country. Unless you live in a larger city or right downtown in your town back in the states, its not often that you are close enough to walk to stores. Free festivals There are not usually any admission charges for carnivals, fairs, and festivals in Germany. Most wine festivals and city fairs are free to wander through, only charging you for what you eat and drink. This gives you the opportunity to take in tons of events on a budget and is the perfect way to get out and mingle with the locals. Sunday stores closed Okay, so when you first get to Germany and run out of groceries on Saturday night, you tell yourself you’ll grab some on Sunday at the local store. Been there? Yep… no dice. Closed, baby, closed. Sure, you can hit the commissary or PX, but you have probably cursed the Sunday store closures at least once. Here’s the thing (and bear with me just a second) — you are going to miss that.
Okay, so maybe at first, you’ll love the convenience of hitting Target on a Sunday afternoon, but what you’ll come to miss is the way that Sunday is so peaceful in Germany. Festivals are happening all over the place, people are preparing family meals or sitting for hours at little cafes and people-watching. There is a sense that the day is meant for family and rest. Real relaxation… not “I’ll run out and just do a little shopping and cleaning and yardwork” kind of relaxation, but real, quiet, thorough relaxation. Slow down, grab your kids or some friends and head to a festival, or stay in and read a book, but give into it. I promise, you’ll miss the quiet one Sunday in the future when you’re standing in a long line at Wal-Mart behind some screaming two year old. Especially if that two year old is yours! :) No matter how hard living in a foreign country can be some days, don’t forget that it won’t last forever, so take advantage of the many things you might miss out on once you’re back at home.
Speaking of bread... Germans make the most incredible bread. The range of choices in even the smallest bakeries are mind-boggling, and you could probably live in Germany for 10 years without trying all the
