After nearly a year of hard work, the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as an Army Patient Centered Medical Home. PCMH is a team approach to health care. In a PCMH, patients are partnered with a team of health care professionals which includes their primary care provider, registered nurse, licensed practice nurse and medic. Together over time, the patient and their health care team, work to treat illness and injuries, promote healthy living and manage ongoing health care issues. “NCQA Level III accreditation is recognition of the professional, quality and safe health care provided by our health care team,” said Lt. Col. Michael
Hughes, clinic commander. “In addition, it instills a sense of trust and confidence in our Wiesbaden community that their Patient Centered Medical Home provides the highest quality health care possible.” The NCQA is a non-profit organization that measures the ability of medical facilities to provide quality health care through standardized, objective measurement guidelines. NCQA requires recognized facilities to enhance access to care and patients’ continuity with their provider teams, keep track of patient data to help manage patients’ well-being, plan and manage care using evidencebased practices, provide selfcare support and community resources, as well as track and coordinate tests, referrals and other care for patients. Finally, clinics have to show that they See Patient focus on page 3
Garrison updates neighbors on Hainerberg construction Story and photos by Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Garrison leaders updated their German neighbors at the Wiesbaden Entertainment Center Feb. 26 on upcoming construction projects at Hainerberg Housing — particularly, the access control point, or ACP, which will make Hainerberg a closed post. Approximately 25 German community members, including city officials and representatives, attended to get information and share their concerns. While the construction of a new post exchange and the new high school facilities is well underway, future plans include building a commissary, middle
school, elementary school and high school, completing the closure of the American Arms complex and constructing the ACP. “I hope to get the reactions of the firms involved in the construction,” said Ulrich Weimer, WiesbadenSudhof representative. “I know it should be closed, but what happens to the people who work there?” The PX is scheduled for completion Dec. 2014 and will open spring 2015. The commissary construction is currently programmed for 2016, and if funded could be finished by 2018. The high school’s last classroom building will be finished in 2017.The See Hainerberg construction on page 3

Commentary Second thoughts Seniors brace for whatever the future brings next Commentary by Kierra Carr
Special to the Herald Union
“Senior year is winding down and now I’m realizing that when life knocks me down, my parents won’t be right behind me, picking me up and encouraging me to keep moving forward,” said Wiesbaden High School senior Savannah Simmons. With less than 60 days left of our high school journey, many of us seniors are having a hard time getting our heads wrapped around the fact that “The Real World” is swiftly approaching. Our parents will no longer hold our hands during every step we take. Not only are most of us moving out of the house, many of us will be saying farewell to our families as they remain in Germany while we attend a university in the United States. “My parents will stay here as I go to college, but I find myself comfortable with that idea because my college lets me bring my pet with me,” said Jonathan Romine. Challenge after challenge, doubt after doubt, anxieties are nearing their peak, the same questions run through our minds: “Will we be able to stand on our own?” “Will I like my new roommate?” “Where will I get a homecooked meal every Sunday?” As we wonder what it will be like not having our parents nearby to provide everything for us, each individual has his or her own way of preparing.
“I’m not entirely focused on what the future has in store. I find it useless to dwell on it,” said Senior Class President Francesca Lee. “I’d much rather be led on whatever path life takes me.” As all seniors finish up their required math, English and other coursework, Wiesbaden H i g h ’s K e n d r a Shaw offered this advice: “With only a few months left, I feel like all the seniors should use this time to buckle down on studying and preparing for the final examinations left.” For teachers too, the impending graduation can be an emotional journey. Tom Rooney, who in the past has taught math classes to underclassmen, now teaches advanced functions to mostly seniors. “This is my first year really teaching seniors, therefore I haven’t really experienced what it’s like to see the seniors walk across the stage. In saying so, it will be nice for the first time, witnessing some of my fellow 12th-grade students graduating,” Rooney said. With slightly more than 100 seniors gearing up to celebrate the school year’s end, each one of us has our own feelings about what it means to look back while moving on to new horizons. We can all agree on one thing — high school has been an incredible learning experience and hopefully a chance to mature while looking forward to whatever challenges life brings next.

Freedom 6 sends Strategic priorities for a ready and modern Army By Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr.
Commander of U.S. Army Europe
This month, as I continue to highlight the Chief of Staff of the Army’s strategic priorities, I want to focus on the readiness and modernization of our Army and how U.S. Army Europe supports both. Right now the Army and USAREUR are in a time of transformation as we seek to reach our authorized end strength to meet the needs of the nation. As we transform, we must ensure that our actions enable us to build readiness and continue modernization for the future. Here in USAREUR we have an exceptional opportunity to meet the CSA’s challenge of conducting tough, realistic, multi-echelon home station training using our live, virtual and constructive capabilities to efficiently and effectively assure individual, leader and unit competencies. Along with the forward pres-
ence of our maneuver and logistical support forces and our dayto-day relationships with allied and partner nations, our robust exercise program and use of the outstanding capabilities provided by the Joint Multinational Training Command, enables us to conduct realistic and innovative training and exercises. These events challenge us to improve our combined arms maneuver and wide area security capabilities, which play a key role in our readiness. USAREUR is also well suited to make the best use of current and emerging technologies. Our brigade combat teams are fully modernized and are incorporating the latest force structure changes such as the activation of engineer elements in the 2nd Cavalry Regiment and 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team. Enablers such as the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, 5th Signal Command, 66th Military Intelligence Brigade and others, continually evolve to provide
us the capabilities to maintain the strategic access we need. Additionally, the return of the M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank and the M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle to USAREUR as part of the European Activity Set along with other modernization efforts in our formations continue to provide state of the art, interoperable combat power in support of both assigned and rotational units. Our ability to structure training events that include our joint and multinational partners provides an excellent opportunity for us to be both responsive to multiple combatant command requirements, while being adaptive to the wide range of contingencies posed by an increasingly complex security environment. The USAREUR team is ready, today and always, to face the challenges of an increasingly complex world. I am confident that we are not only meeting the CSA’s challenges, but leading the way with our agile, ready and modern force. Strong Soldiers, Strong Teams.

Hainerberg construction . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Continued from page 1 middle and elementary schools are still in design and will be completed after 2018, according to Roger Gerber, director of the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Transformation Stationing Management Office. “We cannot continue operating multiple manpower-intensive security islands in Hainerberg,” said Garrison Commander Col. David Carstens, garrison commander, explaining that the new construction supports consolidation and better serves the more than 19,000 Soldiers, families and civilians who make up the Wiesbaden community now that U.S. Army Europe has completed its relocation from Heidelberg. The ACP has been in planning since 2008 and will be con-
structed at Washington Strasse. It will feature two auto lanes and a truck lane that city planners believe will ensure smooth flow of traffic, according to a 2011 traffic study. Traffic lights will be installed at Washington Strasse and B455 to make this dangerous intersection safer. The two access points from New York Strasse are planned to become pedestrian control points only, with an option for use by school buses during specific time windows. Community members expressed unease over increased traffic and limited parking. “I work at Mewa on JFK Strasse, and I’m interested in what’s going on,” said Vanessa Jung. “We have more than 200 workers and are concerned about the parking situation.”
Carstens emphasized that Hainerberg has about 550 housing units and is the largest housing area for Americans in the Wiesbaden community. Most residents work on Clay Kaserne, and even with the current three exits from Hainerberg, they most often use the Washington Strasse/B455 exit. A peak flow of 700 vehicles per hour pass through Hainerberg during morning rush hours, according to TSMO’s traffic model study. Any additional traffic comes from people shopping at the PX and commissary during nonrush hours. Wiesbaden’s bus company, ESWE, has already increased routes and frequency between Hainerberg, Clay Kaserne and Wiesbaden city center to accom-

modate the garrison’s transformation. Carstens remarked that while Americans by nature are not a bus-riding culture, the garrison is trying to nudge them in that direction. The garrison is also working with ESWE on additional adjustments to accommodate the increased traffic flow and make the use of public transportation more attractive. “We have tried to be as transparent as possible about this transformation, and tonight is another example of that transparency,” Carstens said. Construction of the ACP will begin in fall 2014 and be completed in spring 2015.

‘Breath of Freedom’
Capturing aspects of the black American experience By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
While the civil rights movement didn’t achieve dramatic results in changing perceptions and treatment for all citizens in the United States until the 1960s, black service members stationed in Germany in the years after World War II found a much more open and equal society. Wiesbaden military community members had a chance to take a photographic look at this time in German and U.S. history during a special exhibition — “Breath of Freedom: The Civil Rights Struggle, African-American GIs and Germany” — at the Tony Bass Fitness Center during Black History Month in February. “Black American service members serving in Germany in the ‘40s through the ‘60s experienced a lot more freedoms than in some places in the United States,” said Sgt. 1st Class Edwin Lauderback, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Equal Opportunity adviser. “This exhibit walks you through the different movements the African-Americans went through in Germany in those years. “We think about the civil rights struggle in America, but we forget about the African-American GIs serving in Germany and their impact on the civil rights struggle,” Lauderback said, explaining that the images capture the different experiences and social protests that were occurring in Germany at the time. The exhibit, assembled by Maria Hühn and Martin Klinke from the Heidelberg Center for American Studies with support from Vassar College and the U.S. Archives, featured mostly black-and-white photographs of influential black American visitors to Germany, U.S. Soldiers going about their lives in Germany and events capturing the times. The special exhibit also featured a short film. “Because of the open-mindedness of the Germans, American GIs felt a breath of fresh air,” said Ernestine
Hatley, outgoing chief of the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s Military Personnel Division and guest speaker at the garrison’s Black History Month Observance Feb. 24. Saying that while things have definitely improved as regards overt racism in American society, all Americans must still take a stand to end covert racism. “A lot of times people will not step forward to stop a racist act,” Hatley said. “You’ve got to either fix the problem or get out of the way and let someone step in to fix the problem. It all starts with you and teaching your children the right thing to do. “Right now we don’t have a black-and-white country, we have a melting pot,” said Hatley, stressing that it’s time for all Americans to get into the habit of not thinking of people as black or white, but simply as people. During Black History Month local schools also participated in various events aimed at celebrating America’s diversity. An event at Wiesbaden Middle School featured student performers singing, dancing and acting while presenting different aspects of the African-American experience. Students, parents and staff were treated to portrayals of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by Joseph Moseley, Marcus Garvey by Uche Wozu, Thurgood Marshall by Caleb Brown and others.

Garrison honors Wiesbaden’s longtime employees By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
It was a full house at the Community Activity Center Feb. 21 as friends, coworkers and family gathered to recognize longtime employees. With more than 1,000 years of service to the Wiesbaden military community represented, U.S. and host nation workers stepped forward one-by-one to be honored by U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden leaders Col. David Carstens and Master Sgt. Richard Jungmann. “Of all the events I get to preside over as garrison commander, this is my favorite, because it is a reminder to all of us in this military community that civilians serve and sacrifice as well as those who wear the uniform,” said Carstens. “Without your commitment and hard work, we would not be able to sustain the mission of this garrison. “USAG Wiesbaden is an enduring part of the U.S. military footprint in Europe,” Carstens said. “Jobs are secure.

sion continues. We have lots to be thankful for in 2014.” Calling his civilian workforce “the backbone of the garrison,” Carstens thanked the honorees for their “dedication, service, professionalism” and for “a job well done at making Wiesbaden home for our community.” Before honoring each employee in the various years of service categories, the garrison leaders paid a special tribute to several longtime employees and the Directorate of Public Works supervisory mechanical engineering technician Ernst Kusiak. Kusiak was presented with the Army’s Meritorious Civilian Service Award for “exceptional achievements from July 1967 to November 2013.” After going through the rolls — five years to 35 years — the garrison leaders reached the benchmark years of four decades of service which included Generoso Ravago and Leonard Sharp. Two employees were singled out for recognition for reaching the 45-year mark — the

Longtime employees join garrison leaders Col. David Carstens and Master Sgt. Richard Jungmann Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation’s Joseph Cooper and Joe Midgett. “It makes me feel good,” said Cooper, manager of the Automotive Skills Center as an Army civilian after having served for 24 years in the military. “I enjoy giving to work and I enjoy going home at night.” Cooper said he appreciates the ongoing opportunity to work with Soldiers in his capacity at the Automotive Skills Center. Looking back over his career, Cooper said after being
drafted and serving in Vietnam in 1968, “When I made it out of there, that was really special.” Midgett, who retired as an Army master sergeant, said, “It makes me feel good when a customer walks into the Wiesbaden Entertainment Center and says ‘Wow.’” Looking back over his longtime military and civilian career, Midgett said the highlight was “taking care of Soldiers as a first sergeant. That’s the best job in the Army.” He and his wife have also
enjoyed the chance to serve as volunteer foster parents. “We have more than 58,000 volunteer hours,” Midgett said. He said he plans to work for six more years before retiring to build a log cabin in Montana. DFMWR’s Robert Minsky, facility manager for the Community Activity Center, was recognized for 50 years of service. The former Coast Guardsman and U.S. Army Soldier who retired in Bad Kreuznach in 1986, said he felt great about the accomplishment. “I’m starting my next 50. “I like serving the troops — it’s something to do and a way to pay back what the federal government did for me,” Minsky said. Among the highlights of his career — sailing on the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle and “some of the great Army leaders” he served with during his time in the military.

Meet Wiesbaden’s newest Eagle Scout
Troop 106 inducts first in 11 years By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs office
Out of 100 Boy Scouts who endeavor to become Eagle Scouts, 30 quit their first year; 30 will go on to join the military; five will become religious leaders; one will save a life, and one will save his own life. Four will actually become Eagle Scouts. Trae Slade, a senior at Wiesbaden High School, became the first Boy Scout from Troop 106 to join this elite cadre of young men in 11 years. He was honored at an official ceremony Feb. 20 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Chapel in Wiesbaden, where he serves as a priest. More than 20 friends, family, fellow Scouts and adult mentors attended. “When a boy becomes an Eagle Scout he is expected to live by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law. He makes a promise to God and country, himself, and others,” said Michael Seage, assistant senior patrol leader. “Tonight we meet one who kept his promise to be the best
that he can be.” Slade went above and beyond by earning 26 merit badges, when he only needed the required 21. Even though at 18, Slade is too old to participate in Troop 106 activities, he continues to serve as an assistant scout master. He recently mentored younger Scouts to overcome challenges during a campout — “he leapt right in there,” said Seage. “He’s quite an inspiration.” “Trae is an honest spirit, very outgoing, pleasant, helpful and courteous,” said Troop Committee Chair Paul Woolston. “He is a big brother, friend and neighbor.” In addition to scouting, Slade runs track and cross country and plays the trumpet. His dream is to become an environmental scientist in order to “teach people how to treat the world better and learn to appreciate it.” After serving two years in another country as an LDS missionary, Slade hopes to attend college. Wies baden has two Boy Scout troops: Troop 106 and 107. Troop 106 is associated with the LDS faith.

Principal in place Students in Michelle Stephens fifth-grade class (right) at Aukamm Elementary School celebrate having collected the most boxtops for school — more than 1,000 out of a total of 6,835 — by taping Aukamm Principal Debbie Parks to the auditorium wall. The fifth-graders led the fundraising effort for the school in the Parent Teacher Association project after the principal challenged them, agreeing to the taping session for the winners. “They motivated themselves,” said their teacher, “saying, fifth grade is going to win.” Students and PTA helpers used about six roles of tape (about 216 meters in length) to secure their principal to the auditorium wall. Each boxtop raised 10 cents — money which is used to support the school’s math program, Scholastic program and various other school events and activities ranging from holiday happenings to the annual Read Across America Dr. Seuss observance.

For your health Meeting the challenge of eating right on a budget By Claudia Drum
U.S. Army Public Health Command Registered Dietitian
Have you given up on eating healthy because you feel like it costs too much? Not sure how to save money while at the grocery store? While it is true that more convenient items such as pre-cut veggies cost more when compared to their made-from-scratch counterparts, it is possible to eat healthy while on a budget. Additionally, good nutrition, combined with adequate sleep and regular physical activity, are identified as key initiatives in Army Medicine’s “Performance Triad” for good overall health. Below are eight tips to help you stretch your food dollar, and “eat right” while shopping at the grocery store: < Plan menus and make a list: Wandering around the grocery store without a list only increases the likelihood that you will overspend. Plan a weekly

menu, and write an ingredient list that matches up with the store aisles at your favorite grocery store. < Shop seasonally: Buy fresh fruits and vegetables that
are in season to help you get the freshest produce at the lowest cost. In addition, check your local farmer’s market for deals on fresh fruits and vegetables. For produce that is not in season, frozen and/or canned fruits and vegetables (with little or no added salt or sugar) are a nutritious option. < Shop the perimeter; then think meatless: Start on
the outer edge of the supermarket where you will find fresh produce, meats, dairy and breads. Then, shop the aisle(s) for meatless alternatives like beans. Dried or canned (lowsodium, without added fat) are less expensive than most meats, and they make a tasty meal that is not only high in protein and fiber, but also low in fat and saturated fat. Aim for at least

one meatless meal a week. Go to www.meatlessmonday.com for more tips and recipes ideas. < Use coupons and inserts: Check the local newspaper, online, and at the store for sales and coupons of the products you normally purchase. Clipping coupons or printing them from websites can save you 10-15 percent on your grocery bill. Consider joining your supermarket’s shoppers club to enjoy price specials or to receive additional coupons. If you shop at the commissary, use your commissary rewards card. You can redeem coupons electronically after you register it online. Visit www.commissaries.com/rewards/ for more information on the benefits of registering your commissary rewards card. < Buy store (private label) brands: Choose the private label brand if it is comparable in size and ingredients. Oftentimes, private label brands are not only 15-20 percent less expensive, but also just as high in quality. < Compare unit prices: Locate the unit price (cost per ounce, pound or pint) on the shelf tag directly below the product. Use it to compare different brands and different sizes of the same brand to help you decide which item is the best buy. If your store doesn’t list the unit price, bring a pocket-sized calculator or use the calculator on your phone to speed up the process. Be on the lookout for items labeled “more economical” because sometimes, after you have examined the price per unit, the larger size may not be the better buy. < Buy on sale and in bulk: Look for sales on shelf-stable items or products you use regularly. However, only buy larger quantities if you have proper storage space and/or if you will use the food before it expires or spoils. < Read food labels: Compare nutrients using the Percent Daily Value in the nutrition facts panel. Aim for low or less than 5 percent in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Aim for high or greater than 20 percent in fiber, vitamins and minerals.

he Starship Enterprise touched down in Frankfurt Feb. 21-23 — as did the crews of several other Starfleet vessels. William Shatner, Levar Burton and other Star Trek mainstays were on terra firma at the Frankfurt Messe to greet fans, tell stories about the making of the various series and films and to spend a little time sharing their impressions of what made Gene Roddenberry’s vision such an enduring television and cinematic legacy. “I’m a huge Star Trek fan,” said Sgt. Emily J. Recchia, an oboe player with the USAREUR Band and Chorus. “This is my seventh or eighth convention, and I wanted to bring my baby girls to their first convention.” Some 10,000 fans were expected to attend Destination Star Trek which, in addition to offering photo and autograph opportunities, included seminars on the costuming and make-up of the show’s characters, a Borg recharging module, a Klingon weapons station, Star Trek museum and a host of stands offering everything from uniform accessories to attachable Vulcan ears for sale. “I grew up on Star Trek,” said Scott Sanchez, who came from Scotland to
attend the Frankfurt convention. The U.S. Army veteran and wounded warrior program alumnus said he attended his first Star Trek convention in the United States when he was 13 years old and also attended one in London in 2012 where “all of the Star Trek captains were in attendance. … I got a photo with Shatner.” Likewise, British Army veteran Andrew Pearce traveled across the English Channel to participate in the Star Trek convention on the continent. “I attended the one in London in 2012. It’s been 30 years since I’ve been back in Germany.” “You meet so many different people — you don’t even have to know anyone,” said Air Force Tech Sgt. Toneichia Graham, 86th Logistical Readiness Squadron, who drove up from Ramstein. Graham, who said her favorite Star Trek character overall is Captain Jean-Luc Pickard (played by Patrick Stewart) from “The Next Generation” series, wanted to “finish her collection of photo ops” with the cast members. “I like this — it makes me want to go back and watch all of the episodes,” said Spc. Holly Holt, a veterinary technician with the Public Health Command based in Pulaski Barracks in Kaiserslautern. Throughout the three-day convention, visitors had a chance to attend
large-scale ques forums where th with their favorite LeVar Burton (ali Geordi La Forge) (counselor Deann to enlighten audien their start in the making of the sho Burton, who wa and starred in th miniseries “Roots” in “The Next Ge about having live growing up in a “Being in a militar put the wanderlus it made me pretty around as much as w being “the new kid While license p parking lot indica from all corners convention, many identified themsel the U.S. military asking questions. “Elizabeth,” w in Landstuhl, aske ever-changing cos to year on “The N The Greek/Eng tress said her appe tied to her speakin rules in Hollywoo

Suddenly I was an expert in Romulan technology.” But “everytime I got miffed,” Sirtis said, “I would just think of the paycheck and then everything would be all right.” “I love nothing more than the new fans who are coming to see the show,” said actress Gates McFadden who played Dr. Beverly Crusher on “The Next Generation.” “We see three generations of fans. … It took me a long time to realize that my character was a role model. I’ve learned a lot from listening to the fans talking about the show.”
Life as a Klingon
“For seven years, the fans didn’t know what I really looked like,” said Michael Dorn, who played Klingon officer Worf on “The Next Generation” and added that he must have sat through at least 1,000 make-up sessions during his seven years on the show. But being able to act behind a mask was very liberating, he added. “When you put on the make-up you can be whoever you want to be.” Brent Spiner (Data on “The Next Generation”), like several of the Star
Trek alumni, passed on greetings to the U.S. military while appearing in Germany. “This is a shout out from America to you. We so appreciate what you do. “So many things have happened in my life because I’ve done Star Trek and keep happening,” Spiner told the appreciative crowd. “Being a part of it is very special.” Whether dressed as Klingons, Romulans or disguised in 2014 Earth attire, attendees took time to admire the creativity of their fellow Trekkies. “This is a distinctive opportunity to meet with actors and fans who share my love of Star Trek,” said Steven E. McKean, an information assurance officer with 5th Signal Command. “There are many wonderful actors at the event,” said McKean, who was garbed as a Vulcan science officer, “but the highlight for me was exchanging warm words with William Shatner during my photo with him.” As German fan Nadine noted during one of the meet-and-greets, “I don’t know if I would have survived without you guys.” After three days of shore leave for the Starfleet crew it was time once again to go where no crew had gone before — and fans of the series, as Mr. Spock might have noted, “to live long and prosper.”

ORGANIZATION TIPS THAT PUT YOU IN CONTROL
