of the new access control point, which eventually will serve as the sole ACP on Clay Kaserne. Currently, there are three. In the meantime, the three ACPs will remain open. Beginning April 4, a traffic light will be in place at the groundbreaking site to the right of the traffic circle and traffic will be rerouted. Signs will direct drivers to the south gate, main gate and truck gate. Drivers are encouraged to use the south gate in the evening to exit as it will be designated as the priority road.

In March 2011 a gunman attacked U.S. Airmen at Germany’s Frankfurt International Airport. U.S. Army Europe antiterrorism officials are using that tragic incident to help illustrate terrorism’s “evolving threat.” The Army is spotlighting the evolving threat as its current antiterrorism theme to educate members of the U.S. forces community against what they describe as a more innovative, opportunistic method of planning and carrying out attacks than people may consider conventional terrorist methods. Antiterrorism experts say the evolving threat
often centers on a “lone wolf” attack, a recent form of terrorist attack involving individuals who work on a much smaller scale and without specific guidance from organized terror groups to assault local targets. These smaller-scale attacks require less planning and coordination, and create fewer indicators that could alert others that an attack is imminent. On March 2, 2011, one such “lone wolf” targeted a group of U.S. Airmen on a bus parked at Frankfurt Airport. The attacker approached an Airman standing outside the bus, engaged him in conversation, then shot and killed him. Entering the bus, he killed the driver and wounded two other Airmen. He then held his pistol See ‘Evolving threat’ on page 5
Commentary Feedback:
Do you feel welcome in Germany?
Debbie MacAllister Military spouse “Yes, I do. I’ve been here five years now, and we feel very welcome here. Our experience has been really positive. ... When we first came here, it was an adjustment, but we had a sponsor and people who made us feel welcome.”
Reggie Underwood Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic Tricare chief “I love Germany. I’ve been here for 24 years. ... Learning the language helps you fit in; I practiced by watching Sesame Street in German.”
John Perry 4th Air Support Operations Group civilian “Not particularly. The Germans are a little more standoffish than Americans, particularly to those (Americans) from the South. My wife is from Alabama. But that’s not to say we don’t like it here.”
Pvt. Star Baker Wiesbaden Dental Clinic “Yes, my friends help me feel welcome. The people I work with also help. They know you’re a young Soldier away from home for the first time and take you under their wing.”
Sgt. Oliver Stiles 66th Military Intelligence Brigade “Absolutely. The locals are extremely friendly, and they help you with the language barrier.”

Expectant mother parking
Lynn G. commented: As I am seven months pregnant, I have noticed that the only designated expectant mother parking in the garrison is located at the PX and Commissary. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I haven’t seen any designated spaces on Clay Kaserne, specifically in the vicinity of the Mission Command Center or other buildings that would accommodate women in the workforce. I sincerely hope this is merely an oversight with all of the ongoing construction and not an assumption that all pregnant women are unemployed spouses. Response: Lynn, the garrison plan for Fiscal Year 2014 is to create additional family parking spaces to assist parents with children at customer service areas and additional designated parking for expectant mothers. Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

German and American officials break ground on the new Clay Kaserne Access Control Point March 12. Community members are advised to be on the lookout for signs indicating the revised traffic pattern starting in early April while construction is in progress.
Access Control Point . . . . . . . . . . . . Continued from page 1 Construction of the $5.65 million ACP will begin immediately. It will have three lanes with ID checkpoints, with an additional lane for truck traffic providing greater relief during commuting times. It will also have pedestrian access, giving additional options to pedestrians getting on and off post. “I have no doubt this future access point will provide greater convenience with the smoother passage of traffic in and out of the post,” said Lt. Col. Charles Hemphill, deputy commander of the Corps of Engineers, Europe District. “As a fellow service member who has driven through these gates often, I understand the continued need to maintain our security standards as well as making life easier for the hard-working service
members and their families here at Clay Kaserne,” Hemphill said. The project was authorized and approved in Fiscal Year 11 but went through several redesigns and waiver requests to comply with Army standard design and remain within budget. Hemphill acknowledged German contractors and the Wiesbaden garrison team for their help with the project. Carstens thanked Corps of Engineers employees Lalit Wadhwa, chief of programs for the district; and Michelle Syed, district project manager, for their coordination and diligence. He also recognized Karl Strack, HBM, for leading the MILCON design and construction management. Construction of the new ACP is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2014.

Response: Thanks for your suggestions regarding a healthy alternative to get to work on Clay Kaserne, William. When the Access Control Point is completed by the end of this year, the path which runs through the fields near Clay should connect to the front entrance of the ACP (which will extend out to where the light is currently located).

Transparency, building German-American partnerships and the impact of transformation were topics during a special media engagement March 11. About 20 members of the host nation media — including print, radio and television journalists — had the opportunity to become better informed about the U.S. military community in Wiesbaden and ongoing efforts to transform its facilities to serve the U.S. Army Europe Headquarters as completion nears of the move of various support elements from Heidelberg, Mannheim and Darmstadt to Wiesbaden.

Autism Awareness: Helping assess child developmental needs Of all the things to know about autism, recognizing signs early can help parents intervene and impact their child’s development. Autism is a developmental disorder that affects an individual’s ability to communicate and interact socially. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify one in 88 American children as being on the autism spectrum. Military
sources indicate that there are more than 13,000 military dependents diagnosed with autism. Significant improvement in autism symptoms is most often reported with intensive early intervention. Parents can play a role in early screening for developmental delays in their child. A developmental screening can be conducted to see if a child is learning basic skills when he or she should. Children with autism usually appear physically normal. They often need absolute consistency
in their environment. A slight change in any routine can be extremely upsetting. The characteristics of autism typically last throughout a person’s lifetime but can change considerably over time. A mildly affected person might seem merely quirky and lead a relatively typical life. A severely affected person might be unable to speak or care for himself. Start by talking to your health care provider. To get a free screening, contact either Early Developmental Interven-
Continued from page 1 to the head of a fifth Airman, but when the weapon jammed the attacker fled the scene. He was quickly subdued by an Airman, a civilian airport employee and German police officers. Antiterrorism officials say the airport shooting shows how the evolving threat is transforming terrorism with a shift away from the traditional “al-Qaida type attacks.” Because these smaller events require much less planning and attract less attention, the experts say, they can be carried out in a more nonchalant manner that gives the attacker greater opportunity to target members of the U.S.
forces community. Despite the nature of these smaller attacks, USAREUR antiterrorism officials say there are still ways people can lower their risk of becoming victims of terrorism. “Countering the evolving threat requires more individual efforts through continual vigilance, reporting suspicious activity, and practicing individual protective measures,” said Jessica Bittle, a force protection specialist in USAREUR’s Antiterrorism Division. Some simple ways people can protect themselves include: * Be aware of their surroundings and the actions of others around them
* Reporting suspicious behavior * Not dressing or acting in a way that makes them stand out from local citizens or brands them as Americans or members of the U.S. forces community * Removing stickers and other items from their vehicles and belongings that indicate they are Americans or members of the U.S. forces community * Not wearing uniforms while traveling on public or commercial transportation (except taxis).

Chaplain talk
Moral imagination focus of aviation seminar Story and photo by Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Chief Warrant Officer 1 Hugh Thompson — Ruby Bridges — Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh — what do all these people have in common? Moral imagination — that is, the ability to imaginatively create ethically sound and practical solutions to new situations; to forge one’s own ethical principles and to transform them flexibly as needed, according to Chaplain (Capt) Andrew Shriver, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment chaplain. Moral leadership and the role of the chaplaincy were the subjects of a seminar for the 214th Aviation Regiment March 19 hosted by Shriver. Shriver reviewed examples of moral leadership in history and present-day scenarios, such as Thompson’s intervention during the My Lai Massacre of the Vietnam War. Col. Peter Helmlinger, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District, commander, and retired Col. Bobby Ray Pinkton, U.S. Army Europe G4, also served as keynote speakers. Pinkston remarked that “war is lost and won on moral domain.” “Especially with our unit and its unique mission, getting lieutenants and captains to think about [moral leadership] will become more relevant as their leadership progresses,” said Shriver. Speakers emphasized the chaplaincy’s role in enhancing morale. “I think the role of chaplains is to take care of

It helps us maintain our resiliency to avoid losing our moral compass.” “It was a good opportunity to highlight the diverse
capability of the chaplaincy,” agreed Maj. Patrick DeForest, battle operations officer for the regiment. Shriver stressed that chaplains must keep all counseling confidential and encouraged Soldiers to speak with chaplains for help with anything from drinking to child abuse.

Accommodations to support a dynamic workforce Recognizing the potential of its workforce, the Department of Defense established the Computer/Electronic Accommodations to eliminate employment barriers for people with disabilities. CAP’s mission, since its inception in 1990, is to provide assistive technology and accommodations to ensure people with disabilities and wounded services members have equal access to the information environment and opportunities in the DoD and throughout the federal government. Today, CAP has expanded beyond the DoD to partner with 68 federal agencies making it the largest provider of reasonable accommodations in the world. The program’s vision is to increase employment of people with disabilities and disabled veterans by ensuring they have access to accommodations throughout the DoD and federal government. Through the Wounded Service Member Initiative, CAP provides needs assessments, assistive technology and train-
ing to support wounded, ill and injured service members throughout all phases of recovery and transition to employment, directly impacting their rehabilitation process. By implementing DoD Instruction 6025.22, Assistive Technology for Wounded Service Members, CAP partners with military treatment facilities to integrate assistive technology into the recovery and seamless transition process. CAP does this by paying for and providing a wide variety of assistive technology for people with hearing, visual, dexterity, cognitive and communication disabilities. While CAP mainly focuses on purchasing assistive technology for employees with disabilities, it also supports federal employees throughout the employment lifecycle, including coming to work, staying at work, and returning to work to help ensure the federal government is the model employer of people with disabilities and wounded service members. Frequently requested
tomers who already know what accommodations they need can request them via the online request form at www.cap.mil/wsm for wounded service members or www.cap.mil for federal civilian employees.

Bystander Education combats harassment By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
A man in the parking lot is screaming at a woman who appears to be his partner as she cowers in fear. What would you do? Many people will answer that they would intervene, but in reality, certain factors interfere with bystanders’ best intentions to get involved. That’s where the Bystander Education Class comes in. Army Community Service offers this special course to Soldiers, family members and civilians to learn how and when to step in to a sticky social situation to prevent bullying and mistreatment of others. “Thought processes stand in the way of intervention,” explained Rolando DeLeon, sexual assault response coordinator and Bystander Education Class instructor. “In the course we help to identify those thought processes and discuss methods to overcome them.” One of the biggest challenges bystanders will confront when they’re attempting to intervene is not knowing how to intervene, but failing to believe they should. Learning which factors prevent people from doing so helps prepare bystanders to move past thoughts and into action. “I thought the Bystander Education class was a unique way to understand how our personal bias influences our culture,” said Capt. Jennifer Glover, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment
commander. “Before I jump to conclusions, I try to understand the other person’s view point first. I push my Soldiers to do the same.” The course was developed using input from local experts, personnel with backgrounds in teaching, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, lessons learned from past studies and several Army reports about what works and what doesn’t work with this type of training. Although the class was originally intended for Soldiers, instructors realized it could be helpful for anyone. It’s applicable to harassment at work, drinking and driving, suicide intervention, situations that could lead to sexual assault and general helping behaviors, such as carrying bags for others. DeLeon said he would also recommend the class to high school seniors getting ready to head to college or enter the military. “Becoming an intervention expert helps you develop a better understanding of who you are and your interaction with others in varying situations,” DeLeon said. “Although the primary subject is intervention, the class can positively impact leadership and team work skills and may help to improve interpersonal interactions.” The class is being offered April 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 6-8 p.m. in the ACS cafeteria. The class is limited to 32 people. Contact Rolando DeLeon at mil 335-5234 or rolando.deleon.civ@ mail.mil to sign up. Members of units and organizations can request additional classes.

‘Grease’s’ success due to student dedication By Kierra Carr
Special to the Herald Union
Students said a lot of hard work and sweat helped in the success of the recent “Grease” production at Wiesbaden High School. “During the making of it we worked six days a week, and toward the end, seven days a week giving most of our time to make it perfect,” said Stefan Diaz. “We had rehearsal anywhere from five to seven times a week,” said Olivia Tedesco. The hard work paid off in packed houses and helped bring the students closer. “Our director, Christopher Harbach, told us to hang out with each other outside of rehearsal to grow closer, but that just happened on its own at rehearsals,” said Tedesco. “I loved ‘Grease.’ The performance was amazing and the cast had a great energy,” said audience member Kendra Shaw. For some it was the first time acting in a play. “I was just very curious to participate in a play. I just felt really comfortable with the thought of performing with my friends,” said Noah Nichols. “I’ve acted in a play before, and I’ve always loved acting, so I took this opportunity to do more,” said Diaz. Other than a small production of Robin Hood in the sixth grade, this was my first time on stage in a high school production,” said Tedesco. For some, “Grease” was a chance
to practice what they plan on doing in the future while for others it was simply a chance to have a good time. “If I get another opportunity to act, I would love to pursue it, but the career I want is in film. I initially went out for ‘Grease’ because I wanted to act one more time before graduating; not to mention all my friends were doing it so it must have just been a great time waiting to happen,” said Diaz. “Acting would not be my major in college, but I definitely plan on minoring in acting while obtaining my degree,” said Savannah Simmons. “I doubt I would make acting my career, but after doing ‘Grease’ I just fell in love with everything about musical theater — the singing, dancing and especially the people I met,” said Tedesco. “So I’ll definitely try to get involved with it in college. I’ve always loved singing and dancing, so being in a musical just sounded exciting to me. In the end though, it was my friends who talked me into auditioning.” Some participants found aspects of acting harder than others did. “Learning lines was tedious because I had to be in character and remember when it was my turn to say my lines,” said Simmons. Diaz, who played one of the lead roles, Kenickie, had a different opinion. “I memorized my lines in three days. The cues were harder to memorize than the lines themselves.” “Lines were difficult to memorize
at first, but once I became confident with performing them, they seemed to flow as if they were my own,” added Nichols. “All I had to do was learn the songs and dances. While at home I listened to ‘Grease’ songs 24/7,” said Tedesco. The actors had mixed feelings as they performed the last show on March 8. “A few days after ‘Grease’ was over, it was immediately clear that something was missing from my routine,” said Nichols. “We all, cast and crew alike, seemed to be aloof and distant from school as we were so used to the fast-paced rehearsals and the countless memories we were making.” “It’s not so much sad as it is bittersweet,” said Tedesco. “‘Grease’ was one of the best experiences I’ve had in high school, but when it ended, it was the right time. I definitely miss seeing the wonderful cast every day, but I know that whenever we see each other in the hallways, we’ve gotten to share something special that can never be taken away from us.” “Although ‘Grease’ has ended, I am so grateful to have been able to participate in such an awesome production. And I thank all my friends and family for the support they have given me throughout this whole experience,” said Simmons.

Youth Sports Cheerleading Exhibition
Defense nets juniors championship By Chrystal Smith U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Defense is what one local team staked its claim on to earn champion’s honors in its league’s postseason tournament. The Wiesbaden Defenders stopped Stuttgart’s 13-15-year-old girls squad on the hard wood to take home the 2014 Installation Management Command-Europe Junior Girls Basketball Championship March 9. “I got them to buy into the importance of defense in our team’s overall strategy,” said Christopher Rolack, head coach of Wiesbaden’s 13-15 year-old girls team two. “I told them no matter what a coach throws at us we’ve got something to stop it.” The Defenders overcame a two-point, halftime
deficit to defeat its opponents and win 37-27 in the championship game. Rolack said that at the start of the third quarter, his team applied full-court pressure and took an eight-point lead, which forced Stuttgart to call a time-out to make adjustments.

The Installation Management Command-Europe Youth Sports Wrestling Showdown was held at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center. About 70 volunteers, including members of the Wiesbaden High School wrestling team, supported the event as coaches, referees, scorekeepers, meet administrators, helping set up and clean up. “It was one of the best events for volunteer turnout that I have seen,” said Ronnie Pineda, CYSS Sports and Fitness clinician. “Without the support of the community volunteers, this event wouldn’t have happened or gone so well.”

t may not be the easiest facility to find in Wiesbaden, but that doesn’t stop some 30-40 customers a day from making their way to Clay Kaserne’s North Side to use the services of the Auto Skills Center. “This is my first time using Auto Skills and it will not be my last time,” said Earl Brake, who was hard at work on his Chevy sedan with expert assistance from the Auto Skills Center’s Johnny Brumsey. As Brumsey finished swapping out headlight bulbs to complete the day’s work of tire rotation, oil change and lighting inspection, Brake praised the dedicated support available. “They’re a very quick and knowledgeable staff. I would definitely recommend this facility to others. On a scale of one to 10, I’d give them a 20. “I didn’t even have an appointment,” he added. As the center’s “Big John” Cobb helped American Forces Network Wiesbaden’s Sgt. Jedhel Somera balance his wheels, Somera talked about why he frequents the Wiesbaden military community Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation facility. “The (Army and Air Force Exchange Service) Car Care Center is cool, but here you get to work on your car and save a little money,” said Somera, adding, “If I need to learn something I usually go on YouTube. And if I can’t figure something out I just ask the guys here — they’re usually not too busy to help.” “I do all of my oil changes here, and it’s a lot cheaper (than taking the car to a dealer),” said U.S. Army Europe’s Chris Hormann, who was busy underneath his

He also pointed out that working on one’s own vehicle can prove a major money saver. “If I had changed out my alternator on the economy it would have cost me $600. Here, with the staff’s help, it only cost me $200,” Hormann said. Besides offering community members a state-ofthe-art facility in which to work on their own vehicles and Automotive Skills Excellence certified staff, Wiesbaden’s Auto Skills Center offers a range of services and programs from general vehicle repairs to computer diagnostics, alignments, air conditioning service, oil changes to vehicle storage and towing.

Grin and bare it: How to go to a German spa and embrace life in Deutschland By Shayna Brouker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Are you ready to go native? I mean, really native? Shed your clothes and any final shreds of modesty and gehen zum Spa – go to the spa. Fortune favors the bold, especially regarding this traditional German pastime. Ultimate relaxation, transformative renewal and a great story to tell your friends back home await you. You’ve probably heard that most German spas are nude, an idea that offends many Americans’ puritanical, prudish sensibilities. We’re taught to imagine an audience naked to make ourselves feel more comfortable in a public speaking forum, for example, but here,

you’re part of the crowd. I know what you’re thinking, because the same frantic thoughts have scurried through my mind: What if I see a coworker – or, gasp – my boss there? Are people going to stare at me? But you’ll have to get past your gymnophobia (fear of being naked) to fully enjoy your spa experience. So first things first: Check in at the front desk and receive your electronic, waterproof wristband. Most spas charge by the hour and the band will mark what time you entered. The button on the back will unlock your designated locker. You can also rent a towel if you forgot to bring your own. Next, cross through the turn style to activate your wristband timer and walk into the unisex locker room. Don’t
panic – you don’t have to go nude yet. Baby steps. Slip into one of the private changing stalls, undress and prepare yourself. You’re going to see bodies of all shapes, sizes and ages, and they’re going to see yours. Deep breaths. Welcome to Europe. Here we go. Step two: Wrap the towel around yourself, open the door and find your locker. Use the wristband to unlock it and stuff your clothes, belongings and another layer of self-consciousness inside. There’s no turning back now. Remember your number. Next, make your way to male or female shower room. Rinse off and try to imagine your nerves washing away. We’re doing this. Re-wrap yourself and step into the spa. Everyone.
Is. Naked. YOU are naked. Is that old guy staring at me? Your heartbeat hastens. Try not to panic. Sauna, steam room, whirlpool or swimming pool? Either way, it’s time to go nude. The steam room is a good place to start – it’s dark, and if you still feel you absolutely cannot reveal any private parts in public, you may sit on the bottom bench with your feet on the floor. (Side note – if you think you can keep yourself coyly concealed in your towel while you sit on one of the upper benches in the steam room, you’ll quickly be corrected by one of your steam buddies. No bare feet (or bottoms) on the benches! Rookie mistake). My fellow steam room sweaters laughed off the blunder, easing my embarrassment.

So take it off and bare all, because you’re in for a real treat. Settle in and feel the beads of sweat start to form on your face, back, knees – everywhere. Take a second to marvel at the fact that you’re hanging out in a small hot room sweating, naked, with a bunch of complete strangers. How European and laissez-faire of you! At the top of the hour, a spa attendant will enter the room with a bucket of what is best described as magical herb water to pour over the coals. Every hour he treats steamers to a different aromatic: eucalyptus, lavender, mint or lemongrass, among others. As the water sizzles over the coals, the scented steam wafts throughout the room. Then the attendant whips his towel in the air to really get things humming. Breathe in and brace yourself as you’re

Six Tips To Help Your Children Learn Better In School Want to help your children begin to learn better in school? You can do so by paying attention to their learning habits and implementing a few tips around the house and in everyday life. Helping your children learn better in school can ultimately allow them to complete homework quicker while advancing with ease and less struggle overall.
1. Stick to a Sleep Schedule
The right amount of sleep in school-aged children is important for many reasons, including good school performance. One of the ways to help your child learn better is by having him or her stick to a sleep schedule, which also guarantees the sufficient amount of sleep required each night. Your child will be able to focus better and feel less irritated throughout the day with adequate sleep on a regular schedule.
2. Create Flashcards
It is an excellent idea to create homemade flashcards when your child has a test or studying material he or she is not familiar with. Creating homemade flashcards is a fun and interactive way to get your child to better understand any subject or topic he or she has difficulties in understanding. Just having your child make his or her very own flashcards is a great study tip to enhance memorization.
ing a musical instrument helps to develop patience within the classroom, especially when your child is playing in a group ensemble with his or her own designated part. If you don’t know how to teach music, registering your child in a music school, such as Suzuki Academy, is a great way to learn a new instrument.
5. Watch Educational Documentaries Watching educational documentaries with your children is an excellent way to introduce new subjects and to keep their minds reeling and asking questions. The more learning material you introduce to your children, the easier it becomes to get them actively interested and engaged with learning throughout their time at school.
6. Play Educational Games 3. Use Free Apps
Downloading free applications and educational games on your computer, tablet or mobile phone is another way to help your children learn better at school. Free applications assist with introducing new subjects while also giving your children a fun, colorful and interactive medium to play on.
4. Introduce a Musical Instrument Learning an instrument not only helps your child to focus, but also helps with understanding math better in terms of counting, multiplying and understanding the structure of numbers. Additionally, learn-

Playing educational games is also highly recommended, regardless of the age or subject covered. Whether you prefer card or video games, introducing educational subjects is a surefire way to help your children learn better while they are attending school. Knowing how to help your children learn and succeed in school is a way for you to feel at ease while they are progressing in lessons. Be proactive with them and their education by following these tips. Author Profile: Anita Ginsburg is a Freelance Writer and you can email her at anitaginsburg@gmail.com

No, we’d rather think outside the box. We’ve created what we always create: a sports car. Five doors, five seats and yet intimate with the road; boasting plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. Practical but never ordinary. The new Macan – built for an intensive life in which the thirst for experience and thrills and spills are ever-present, and in which new challenges are a permanent driving force. Built for a life that refuses to be hemmed in by conventions and feels all the more authentic for it. Direct and intimate. A sports car that gives us what we’re looking for: that feeling of being alive.
