The Strong Europe Cafe feeds 700-800 people a day with several hundred pounds of food. Ovens, grills, food heaters, drink dispensers and dishwashers are part of the equation, too.

So what does it take for a cafeteria that feeds the Army to keep the environment happy, too?

“The work of an entire team,” remarked Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin upon handing the team its Green Boot award for meeting the garrison’s highest environment-friendly standards. The dining facility was awarded its

“They have a lot of customers, but still found time to do it,” added Tomasz Filatow, the Green Boot program manager. The team acquired the certification in 45 days.

Manager Sgt. 1st Class Daniel McGowan acknowledged they had some unique challenges to overcome — mainly education.

Commentary Talk about a busy garrison …

Thanks to everyone who supported our German-American Friendship Fest June 26 – July 4, and “Super Kudos” to the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Fest Team who made it all possible, what an outstanding event! Not to mention, that was possibly one of the best fireworks displays I have seen in many years.

Additionally, thank you for allowing the garrison to take time out for our Organizational Day on July 2 — our hard working employees enjoyed a fun filled day with co-workers, family and friends.

Keep your comments coming as they assist us in providing the best support to you, our dear customers. Danke!

Editor’s note: Have something you’d like to share with the commander? Send an ICE comment or contact the Commander’s Hotline (click the Feedback link on the garrison home page).

Ask the commander so the best course of action is to obtain the vehicle license plate and provide it to the correct authorities. Thanks again for your vigilance and willingness to bring this to our attention.

Legal advice: German traffic violations U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Legal Office If you, or your dependant, receives a traffic violation (i.e. speeding, running a red light, etc.) from the German authorities you will receive an administrative order.

The notice either comes through the mail, or will be served by your commander, immediate supervisor or the International Law branch of the legal office.

Once you received the administrative order or questionnaire you only have a two-week deadline from the date of receipt, not from the date of postmark to respond.

The administrative order is an offer made by the German authorities which

provides you an opportunity to pay a fine for having violated German law instead of appearing in court.

An administrative order is not proof of guilt, and no judgment of guilt or innocence has been rendered. German law gives you the right to object to the violation notice. If you decide to protest the administrative order, you may do so in writing, or by personally going to the issuing authority.

A written protest must make reference to the case file number and should state in detail the grounds for objection to the administrative order. The protest has to be written in German language.

You have to file the objection within two weeks from the date the administrative order is served on you. The fact that

the payment or protest (objection) is in the mail at the end of the stated period is not sufficient.

The payment or the protest must be received by the German authorities within the stated period. If you do not object the order becomes final.

You should make a careful determination in contesting the administrative order because your total costs may substantially increase if later court proceedings result in a judgment against you.

If you are involved in an automobile accident, there may be a claim for injury or damage against your insurance company. Therefore you should immediately inform your insurance company about the accident. Your insurance company might need a German police report or

a military police report.

If you receive a German notice related to the accident you should immediately report it to your insurance company.

Notifying the insurance company of the receipt of such a German document neither affects your rights, nor your obligations, under German law.

If you have further questions, please see the Legal Assistance Office at the Wiesbaden Legal Center.

It is open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon, and from 1 to 4 p.m. In addition it is open Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. To visit with an attorney, call for an appointment at 537-0664.

This school is within a few hours of my daughters’ homes. The opportunity to be so close to them is one I cannot pass up. I accepted the offer and will leave the Wiesbaden community by Aug. 1 to begin my new adventure in Georgia.

The Kaiserslautern District has announced the new principal of Hainerberg ES, and I am confident that the momentum that occurred in our progress this year will continue under the leadership of the new principal. How can it not? I am leaving behind an incredible assistant principal, office staff, teachers, aides, PTO, parents, and community members who will make sure Hainerberg Elementary School will continue to excel!

As I leave this community, I take many memories of great times I have had during my 15 years of living in Europe.

Americans truly become a big family when we live together overseas, and so the thought of leaving you is bittersweet. You have been such an encouragement and support to my husband and me during this great European adventure, and we will always cherish the time we had with you.

I wish you all only the best!

Soldiers lower the flag during the Independence Day retreat ceremony held by U.S. Army Europe at the Keyes Building July 2.

U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, commanding general, U.S. Army Europe, hosted an Independence Day ceremony at the Keyes Building on Clay Kaserne July 2.

Independence Day, celebrated on July 4 each year, honors the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It is a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag.

In addition to Army Europe and U.S. Army Garrison, Wiesbaden leaders, Soldiers, civilians and family members attended the ceremony, which kicked off the long holiday weekend. Though the holiday is Saturday, federal employees had Friday, July 3 off from work.

In a briefing in Washington, DC, July 1, Defense Secretary Ash Carter wished the men and women of the Defense Department a well-deserved Independence Day holiday, and said some service members would be working worldwide July 4 to secure the

country and protect citizens, allies and partners. “As recent terrorist attacks overseas remind us, those who seek to harm this nation and our friends take no holiday, and neither do we in the Department of Defense,�

Carter said.

Soldiers, civilians and family members are encouraged to be safe and make wise choices during any weekend festivities.

Stay hydrated, make responsible decisions and have a plan in place to get home safe and ensure others around you get home safely as well.

Bicycle safety

Bicycle operators and passengers on U.S. forces installations must wear an approved helmet properly fastened under the chin. Other safety rules include not using cell phones or wear listening devices that impede hearing and the detection of impending danger; using a headlight that emits a white light and a taillight that emits a red light and wearing light-colored clothing or reflective accessories when riding at night or in low light; and bicycle wheels must have two reflectors mounted 180 degrees apart on the spokes. Bicycle pedals must have reflectors designed and placed to be visible from the front and rear of the bicycle during darkness. Note: As an exception, local national personnel are not required to wear a safety helmet when riding a bicycle on U.S. military installations in Germany. It is, however, highly recommended that they do so. In addition, ensure you are in compliance with all host nation laws and rules.

By Jacob Corbin

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

The third quarter Team Excellence Award was given to the members of the USAG Wiesbaden Library.

“The USAG Wiesbaden Library is recognized

BOSS supports single Soldiers

By Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Marketing Office

Many single service members feel disconnected, alienated or overwhelmed by an overseas duty assignment.

Finding one’s way around, making new friends and discovering the intricacies of a new culture all take initiative, time and energy.

That’s where Wiesbaden’s Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers comes into play.

“BOSS helps build esprit de corps and a good foundation where single service members feel comfortable to be around new people,” said Sgt. Julia King, Wiesbaden BOSS president and a member of the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment.

“A lot of people don’t have their families with them overseas,” King said.

“It’s intimidating to get out there,” added Spc. Daniella Canal, BOSS vice president and assigned to the Wiesbaden Health Clinic. “No one wants to be stuck in the barracks not knowing what to do.”

“BOSS can help,” King explained. “We help build a little family overseas.”

As her first duty station overseas, Canal said getting involved with BOSS has helped make her feel connected to her greater community.

“Help us help you,” said King, explaining that the Wiesbaden BOSS team is always open to new ideas.

A bi-monthly BOSS meeting, held at 3 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at the Warrior Zone on Clay Kaserne, gives single and unaccompanied service members the opportunity to voice their opinions about programs, services and other aspects of the military impacting their lives. Unit representatives share BOSS news and issues with their fellow unit members.

“It’s all about communicating — just trying to get the word out,” Canal said.

A new Wiesbaden BOSS pilot program saw members headed to Austria in June to participate in a Life Skills Survival Course.

ACS enhances military lives for 50 years Agency celebrates half-century of taking care of Army families

By Jessica Ryan U.S. Army Installation Management Command

In 1967, Hester Ruth Francis was living with her parents in a dilapidated, three-room cabin in rural Kentucky while her husband, Pvt. Sterling R. Francis, was stationed in South Korea. The cabin did not even have indoor plumbing or central heat.

Money was clearly an issue for the Francis couple — especially with a newborn on the way. Hester already accrued out-of-pocket medical expenses and needed a military identification card to receive necessary health benefits. Unable to travel to obtain her card, she contacted the Army, specifically the Commanderin-Chief, to see what could be done.

Army Community Service at Fort Knox, Ky., stepped in. An emergency mission, dubbed “Operation Tomahawk” (named after Hester’s town of Tomahawk, Ky.) assigned Maj. Raymond M. Marsh, the ACS center chief, and a photographer to travel to her home — via 17th Air Cavalry helicopter. Bringing along a typewriter, laminating machine and a camera with instant film processing capabilities, Marsh produced and issued her an ID card in her kitchen.

Days later, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

This is one of the first publicized stories of ACS’s remarkable commitment and service to Soldiers and their Family members. This month, the program will celebrate its 50th birthday. While the military community’s have evolved over the years, ACS is still dedicated to its motto: “Real-Life Solutions for Successful Army Living.”

“ACS is a group of professionals dedicated to relieving some of the burden our Soldiers and their Families carry every day,” said Stephanie L. Hoehne, the G9 Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation director for the U.S. Army Installation Management Command.

“Our ACS centers are staffed with people who live the ideal of taking care of the Army Family.”

The program’s formal conception started in the early 1960s. By then, services like Army Emergency Relief already existed. However, as the military entered into the Vietnam War, the needs of Soldiers and their Family members changed.

Lt. Gen. J.L. Richardson, Army Deputy Chief of Staff Personnel, took action to establish an official “Family assistance” program in 1963. He requested a qualified officer to develop a plan for the program’s creation. Lt. Col. Emma Marie Baird, who was assigned to the AER and Personnel Affairs Office during World War II, was selected for the position. She began to establish a program addressing military Families’ growing needs. The program’s philosophy, however, would be of evaluation, not revolution.

“Emerging needs can be met, and services no longer needed discarded, to ensure that each program is adapted to the requirements and resources of the specific Army community,” she said in her 1986 paper entitled, “Army Community Service History.”

Under the guidance of AR 608-1, the ACS Regulation, the Army developed programming based on

Page 12

Herald Union

military Families’ diverse needs. From 1965 to 1981, programs such as the Handicapped Dependents Program (now called Exceptional Family Member Program) and the Child Advocacy Program (now evolved into the Family Advocacy Program) were created.

The 1980s was also a time where Army leadership brought Family care issues to the forefront. In 1983, Gen. John A. Wickham, Jr., the Chief of Staff of the Army, wrote a white paper entitled “The Army Family” to address how Family members’ support was important to the mission. His paper led to Army Family Photo by Fort Carson Army Community Service Action Plan, a grassroots initiative for identifying A military spouse and her children visited the Army Community Service and prioritizing issues center at Fort Carson, Colo., in 1970. ACS centers today still provide reto enhance standards of sources and services to meet the diverse needs of military Families.

The 2000s was also a time of major conflicts in living for Soldiers and Iraq and Afghanistan. This impacted military Families their Families. Other programs such as the Financial Readiness Program, Volunteer Coordinator Program as more wounded Soldiers came home.

For your health Protect yourself from insect and tick-borne diseases

By Roseanne Radavich Entomologist, UwSw Army Public Health Command

Insect and tick-borne diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever and Lyme disease, are serious health threats that cause human misery, hardship and more than one million deaths worldwide each year. Many of these diseases can be prevented using a few simple protective measures.

Preventing bites

Protect exposed skin from bites by applying EPA-approved repellents containing DEET or Picaridin. Wear permethrin-treated clothing, which repels ticks, mosquitoes and other biting insects.

Some military uniforms and civilian outdoor clothing come pre-treated with permethrin. These garments are highly recommended because factory-treatment lasts the lifetime of the garment. If your uniform or clothing has not been treated with permethrin, you can treat it yourself with commercially-available aerosol/ pump-spray products containing 0.5 percent permethrin, which typically lasts for six weeks and six washings. Wearing long pants and long-sleeved shirts also reduces bites by covering your skin.

Wear light colors to help you see and remove ticks from your clothing before they can bite you. Check yourself thoroughly for ticks after you have been in tick habitat, and promptly remove any ticks that have attached to your skin.

Remove a tick by grasping it close to the skin with tweezers and pull up until the tick detaches. Secure the tick in a plastic bag or container, and kill it by freezing.

Keep the tick, and bring it with you to the doctor in case you become ill. The doctor can use the tick to help diagnose your illness and provide speedy treatment.

Eliminating habitats

Homeowners can also make simple changes to reduce the number of mosquitoes and ticks around their yards. A female mosquito prefers to lay her eggs in standing water, and under ideal weather conditions, it can take less than a week for her eggs to hatch and develop into adults.

Break this weekly breeding cycle by removing the standing water from your yard.

If a medication is not available, take other precautions to protect yourself.

Don’t let insects ruin your trip and send you to the doctor. Take your medications, receive your vaccinations, use repellents on your skin and clothing and modify your yard to ensure that you have the best protection against insect and tick-borne diseases.

Summertime means the start of skin protection season

By Molly Francis Program Evaluator, UwSw Army Public Health Command

It is finally summertime, so what better way to celebrate than by going out and enjoying the summer sun? You probably put on sunscreen before going swimming or going to the beach because you know that the sun’s ultraviolet rays, or UV rays, can damage your skin in just 15 minutes. But wait, not so fast! You are in danger from the sun’s UV rays any time you are outside.

Ultraviolet radiation is defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the “part of sunlight that is an invisible form of radiation.” There are two types of harmful UV rays: ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB).

While UVA is the most dangerous type, the CDC cautions that UVB rays can also have negative health effects.

Too much exposure to UV rays can cause sunburn, where the radiation literally burns your skin and causes it to age prematurely. Along with being painful, sunburn can have long-term consequences. The World Health Organization warns that UV rays cause damage to skin

cells that can result in skin cancer along with other harmful effects to your eyes, skin, and immune system. The National Cancer Institute cautions that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and getting just one blistering sunburn increases your risk.

The UV rays can reflect off a variety of surfaces like water, sand and pavement and cause havoc year round and anywhere outside. It is important to safeguard against the sun’s harmful rays to protect yourself and your skin. To protect yourself, follow these “SUNSHINE tips”: S: Sunscreen. Always wear sunscreen. The CDC recommends wearing sunscreen with a sun protection factor of at least 15 and offers protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen should be worn any time you go outside for the most protection.

U: Use sunscreen correctly. Apply sunscreen at least a half an hour before going into the sun. Also make sure to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours or more often if you are swimming.

If you are swimming, reapply sunscreen every time you dry yourself off.

N: No expired sunscreen. Always

make sure to check your sunscreen’s expiration date, as all sunscreens expire.

If you cannot find one, replace the sunscreen after three years or if the sunscreen appears discolored.

S: Sunglasses. Wear sunglasses.

Look for sunglasses that offer 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. Sunglasses can help protect your eyes from cataracts and yellowing of the lens.

H: Have (and wear) protective clothing. Protective clothing includes a wide-brimmed hat that shields your face and neck from the sun, long sleeves and pants. The American Cancer Society advises that clothes that are dry, darker and have tighter knits are better at protecting your skin from UV rays. However, also wear sunscreen for ultimate protection.

I: Inside. Avoid being outside from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. when possible. These are the peak hours for UV rays. If you are going to be outside during this time of the day, take precautions like staying in the shade.

N: No tanning beds. Tanning beds produce UV rays just like tanning outside.

Getting a base tan before going to the beach does not protect your skin from the sun while at the beach.

People play at a beach in Honolulu, Hawaii.

E: Examine your skin. Look for moles that are growing larger, black or uneven in color and look for discolored skin patches. These marks could be signs of melanoma, a particularly dangerous type of skin cancer, and should be discussed with your doctor.

Although sun safety is important in the summer, remember UV rays can find you year-round. If you follow these “SUNSHINE” tips, you can be sure to enjoy your summer responsibly and protect your skin — the largest organ in your body.

Ant-Man — The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Trainwreck — Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) that monogamy isn’t realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by that credo, enjoying what she feels is an uninhibited life free from stifling, boring romantic commitment, but in actuality, she’s kind of in a rut. When she finds herself starting to fall for the subject of the new article she’s writing, a charming and successful sports doctor named Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups, including this guy who really seems to like her, might be on to something.

Minions — The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters.

Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters, from T. rex to Napoleon, the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression.

But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he, alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob, ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Additionally, Minions is eaturing a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today. Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.

The Gallows — Twenty years after an accident caused the death of the lead actor during a high school play, students at the same small town school resurrect the failed stage production in a misguided attempt to honor the anniversary of the tragedy, but ultimately find out that some things are better left alone.

Pixels — In Pixels, intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them and attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (James) has to call on his childhood best friend, ’80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Dinklage and Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Monaghan plays the team’s unique weapons specialist.mystery, they find more excitement, and danger, than they bargained for. But they each might also find an unlikely new best friend…in each other.

Lazy Dragons no longer

Dragon boat team finds friendship, teamwork through paddling

By Shayna Brouker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden

H

Public Affairs Office

ardly any Americans in the boat speak fluent German, and the Germans sometimes feel uncomfortable speaking English. But once the race marshal yells “Go” everyone starts paddling and no words are necessary; only teamwork and the desire to win.

Such is the nature of paddling with the Lazy Dragons dragon boat team, made up of U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community members and their German neighbors. The team proved its name otherwise this past weekend at the annual Schierstein Harbor Festival dragon boat regatta July 11-12.

More than 20 teams from around Germany gathered at the harbor to paddle furiously to the finish line over the course of two days. The Lazy Dragons are traditionally the only Americans represented, with some fellow German paddlers mixed in and vice versa. But with both teams lacking the required 20 committed paddlers to make a full boat, the Lazy Dragons joined forces with German paddlers on their coach’s other team, Stifterappler.

“Paddling with the Lazy Dragons is so much fun, because they are so nice, sincere and motivated,” said Esther Pscheidt, a member of Stifterappler who served as the team’s drummer, perched atop a tiny bench at the front of the boat to drum and help paddlers stay synchronized.

“They never laugh at us when we don’t speak English so well. We felt welcome with them, and they are very, very strong.”

“Paddling with the

Lazy Dragons is so much fun because they are so nice, sincere and motivated.”

The Lazy Dragons had a rough start at the first 250-meter race, but steadily rallied to place first in the

D finals. The highlight of their performance was the 2,000-meter race, in which they improved from 11th to 21st place. They finished at 11 minutes and 15 seconds, 30 seconds ahead of the rest of the group.

Coach Gerd Stinner said it was one of the best races in his career as a dragon boat coach.

“I am sure it was a very interesting experience for both teams and both took the advantage to learn a lot about each other,” he said. “The language barrier was much lower than anticipated. That’s what I intended when I started coaching the first two American teams (comprised of members of the 1st Armored Division and the American Red Cross) in 2008.”

For Lesli Hartelt, a newcomer to dragon boating, the weekend was an exciting introduction to the sport.

“My first races were tough. I was excited and nervous at the same time,” she said. “Coming in close to last our first three races was a little disappointing, but for our 2k race we excelled. On day two of races, coming [in] first for all our races was a great boost to our morale.”

The team will continue to practice twice a week, sometimes with Stifterappler.

“The unanimous view of the Germans on the team is: Let us continue practicing and racing together. I share this opinion,” said Stinner.

Their next race is the ESWE Cup at the end of September. Stinner hopes for more Americans to become interested in dragon boating and, he

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

The Rhein-Main USO and Mirascon bank sponsored the team this year. The team is open to any member of the USAG Wiesbaden community. No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome. For more information, contact Shayna Brouker at shayna.brouker@gmail. com.

Make a tasty casserole!

Hello friends of good cooking and eating!

Today we will make a tasty casserole with cauliflower, noodles and ground meat.

What we need: Cauliflower, noodles, ground meat, salt, ground white pepper, sugar, butter, oil, lemon juice, grated cheese, a small onion, four eggs and a little jar of liquid cream.

First of all, cut the cauliflower in small pieces. Heat up water with salt, ground white pepper and some sugar. Also add a teaspoon of butter and a sip of lemon juice. When the water is boiling, put the cauliflower in it and cook it until it is almost done. Put the cauliflower in ice water to stop the cooking process. After cooling it down, put the cold cauliflower in a strainer to dry it.

Don’t waste the cauliflower water. We will use that next week for a delicious

cauliflower cream soup. To preserve it, fill the water into a jar and let it cool down.

Then put it in the freezer to keep it fresh for next week.

Take a pan and heat it up. Put some oil in it to roast the ground meat. Cut a small onion in slim dices. Add the onion into the pan when the meat has roasted long enough to get dry again. Add salt and ground white pepper, and let everything roast for 10-15 more minutes.

Meanwhile we boil the noodles in salted water until they are almost done. Then put the noodles into a strainer and cool them down with cold water.

Now take your casserole dish, put a small piece

of butter in it to prevent it from sticking.

Then put the cooked cauliflower in the casserole, the noodles next and the ground meat on top of it. Scramble four eggs and a little jar of liquid cream with salt and white pepper. Pour it over all the ingredients. At last, put the grated cheese on top.

Your oven should be heated to 180 degrees celsius. Put the casserole in it for 40 to 50 minutes, until all the liquid disappears and there’s a nice cheesy crust on top.

If you like, you can serve it with a bit of lettuce, tomato and cucumber salad.
