Schools focus on STE(A)M

Shopping Spree

Science, technology, engineering and math are the keystones of the future, and the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden elementary schools are doing what they can to help prepare their students for that future. Aukamm and Hainerberg Elementary schools recently held two STEM events to highlight what they’re doing everyday to get kids interested. “STEM is the cornerstone of new ideas, inventions and creativity,” said Corinne Voyer, a teacher at Aukamm Elementary School. “Who knows what this generation of students will create.” Aukamm held a week of in-class experiments and activities to highlight their efforts in improving students’ awareness of STEM in today’s world, while Hainerberg held a “STEAM” night to show parents their efforts. Hainerberg Principal Debbie Parks added an extra “A” in the widely-known acronym of STEM to represent the arts, a special focus that may be the key to hooking otherwise uninterested students in science and math. “We think art adds life to STEM and that there is a real element of the arts in it,” Parks said. “Studies show people with high levels of math skills also have a high degree of creative skills.” She said by adding art to STEM, Hainerberg educators hope to garner the interest of students who might otherwise not find their way into a love of STEM. “For instance, you might have a kid who loves to draw who discovers design, engineering or a number of other things they could love,” she said Barbara Mueller, principal of Aukamm Elementary, echoed those sentiments. “Our goal is for children to realize STEM is everywhere” she said.

added the event is not required by the Army for ACS accreditation, but rather one the support organization chooses to do “above and beyond.” “America’s military spouses are the backbone of the Families who support our troops during missions, deployments, reintegration and reset,” said Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin, opening the event. “They are the silent heroes who are essential to the strength of the nation and they serve our country just like their loved ones.” More than 75 spouses attended the event to learn about entertaining on a See ‘Spouse’ on page 5

Freedom 6 sends
Freedom 6 Sends: Leadership, initiative and innovation Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges Commanding General, U.S. Army Europe
The security environment in Europe has changed considerably in the last 16 months. Shrinking defense budgets in the U.S. and among our European Allies means the Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges need for new, innovative and effective solutions to our common challenges is imperative; 30,000 Soldiers in U.S. Army Europe today must create the strategic effect of 300,000 of decades past. As an organization, we’re already working on new solutions to assurance and deterrence by employing the Regionally Aligned Forces, reserve component and interns, and exercising with our Allies and partners to share capabilities that improve effects, close capability gaps, and increase interoperability in times of limited sourcing. Europe, as our home forward, provides a great stage for developing our leaders and capabilities. Atlantic Resolve is the best example of young U.S. officers and NCOs in positions of great responsibility. I believe
there is no other place in the world more suited for individual Soldiers to prove their talent and ability for creative thinking. Events like the Freedom Shock series, where we are able to train and improve multiple skills and systems in a joint environment to prove our responsiveness, are prime examples of effects-based, creative and innovative thinking. Innovation and initiative are key components to reach our common goals and develop our leaders and capabilities. As our adversaries adapt, so must we in order to reach the required effects. Innovation doesn’t happen unless there’s a burning need for change; Russia’s illegal occupation of the Crimea and continued aggression in Ukraine has created that need. We cannot be ready for the challenges of the future because, simply, our enemies aren’t the same and won’t fight the same way either. History has proven that the innovators and risktakers make the decisive difference in winning. Recently on our staff ride to Fort Eben Emael, the USAREUR captains in attendance learned of the ingenuity of the German Soldiers in taking what was touted as an impenetrable Belgian fort; less than 60 German soldiers took the fort — manned by more than
600 Belgians — using gliders and shaped charges and after their platoon leader wasn’t able to make it on the initial assault. I expect the USAREUR team to reward our risktakers and innovators for their creativity and thinking. Seek out those who don’t think the same way as everyone else, who see the world’s challenges through a different lens. The best ideas often come from the people sitting quietly in the back of the room who may not have any authority but could certainly be innovation leaders. We must dedicate resources – money, time and effort included – to innovation and initiative and setting conditions for both to happen. Of course, new methods don’t always work. When our innovative ideas don’t succeed, we have to shake off the feeling of failure and try again. Learn from the shortcomings of one attempt in order to make your next attempt better. Innovation and initiative on all levels is vital for our effectiveness more than ever. I fully trust the senior USAREUR leadership to guide and promote assuming risk and offering room for innovation and initiative in both officers, NCOs and Soldiers. Who are the innovators in your section? What have you done to improve the way we do things?
Ask the commander improving the signage to complete the ACP work. The striping and signage work is being done by our in-house DPW team and is scheduled for the end of this week or beginning of next week.Thanks again for your comment and hopefully the improvements will address your concern.

Empty building
Roundabout sign
Anonymous said: The Col. Mary Martin, yield sign at the roundabout U.S. Army Garrison directly outside the [under Wiesbaden comconstruction] main gate is mander very faded and set out of the line of sight of the drivers entering the round about to exit the base. I have almost been run into by cars that do not yield to the car in the round about twice. Both times the driver wasn’t even looking at me. My recommendation is that the yield sign be moved into the line of sight of drivers entering the roundabout, and replaced with a non-faded sign.

Brian F. asked: I live across from a building in Crestview that is empty, but the basement windows have been found open several times. The Military Police have been to that building a few times in the past year. I have called Housing, DPW and the MPs about this building, every agency says that it’s another agency’s issue. How can we get the empty buildings in Crestview secured? It’s damage to the families that live in the neighborhood. I have seen at least six different buildings open. Some have broken windows and kids place inside of them. It’s only a matter of time before someone is hurt. Response: Thank you for using the ICE system to bring this issue to our attention. Our vacant buildings are inspected periodically by the DPW housing team. When an issue like open doors or windows

We had several buildings with break-ins to the basement rooms last year but that came mainly because the main entrance doors were kept open by residents.

Donation box
Kelsey H. asked: There is a German donation box for clothing and shoes on Hainerberg on Texasstrasse. We live near there and I have noticed that it has not been getting picked up since Hainerberg became a closed post. It is currently stuffed full with bags and boxes of clothes left next to it and people continue to leave it there. Is there any plan to have that picked up by the Germans or to at least remove or close the donation bins? Response: After receiving your email, we notified the Directorate of Public Works of the issue. The Recycling/Re-use Center will pick up the items that are spilling over from the donation container.

It appears that the container was placed there when Hainerberg was still open.

Positive comments
Anonymous (for Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills): The dance showcase was absolutely wonderful this year. We have been here
for four years and have been involved in the recitals each year. The direction of the program this last year was exemplified by the end of the year dance showcase. It has been the best one by far! Not only have the instructors done the best job to date, the children loved it! CYS has done a wonderful job on providing a top of the line program. Joel H. (for Library): Wow, No. 1 again! Keep up the good work, OUTSTANDING STAFF at the library; we the patrons appreciate all of your friendly, fast efficient service, with a smile at that! Anonymous (for Army Community Service and Spouse Appreciation event): It was a really well
organized event! The organizers went beyond to make it a great day for spouses. Well done!!! Anonymous (for theAuto Skills Center): I would like to thank the staff at the Auto Skills Center for the continuous, tireless effort given to me while trying to locate a problem with my vehicle. Everyone gave their professional opinion of possible causes and the staff was not satisfied until we found the problem. It brings me great pleasure to see such teamwork and camaraderie. Great job! Anonymous (for Special Events): The Magic Show was awesome. Thank you for having free events for the community. Really helps on a budget.

“It shapes our everyday experiences. We want to raise their curiosity in science, technology, engineering and math. We want them excited about learning.” That goal seems to have been realized, according to some students. “It was really neat to do hands-on experiments,” said student Mika McBride. “It was really cool to do everything. We got to do loads of experiments and learned a lot of things.” Joeliz Ramos Cruz, another student and Mika’s classmate, said her favorite part of STEM so far has been learning about fossils. “When we saw the fossils and got to actually touch them, that was a chance of a lifetime,” she said. Cruz now wants to be a paleontologist, a scientist focused on the study of fossils to learn about organisms that lived in other time periods, thanks to her experiences in school. Students from every age group were involved in all the activities, from kindergartener to fifth grade, though extra precautions were of course taken with the smaller children. “Remember, nothing goes in your mouth,” reminded AES teacher Michelle House before a group of kindergarten students got the chance to do some hands-on experiments. Some of those experiments included making marshmallows smaller through the removal of air in a vacuum, learning what’s inside rocks and how they’re formed (through judicious application of force to said rocks, by teachers of course) and demonstrating how different fluids of various densities. During the experiments students were encouraged to not only observe the results, but think about why they happened and how the results could change. “Could I change my experiments but still have the same result?” asked scientist-attired House (including goggles and lab coat). Parks said this kind of “real life” learning was important to not only
students’ education, but grabbing their interest in STEM. “They weren’t just sitting and learning, they were doing,” she said. Both principals said STEM, and STEAM, were not one-time events. They said they’re integral parts of a student’s education that occurs throughout the year. “Children are not growing up in the same world that we did,” Mueller said. “It’s our obligation to prepare them for a different kind of day-today living that is driven by science and technology.” “We’re training them in the types of skills they’ll need to be successful in the 21st century,” added Parks.

News and features Heightened security during G7 summit near Garmisch U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria Public Affairs Special to the Herald Union
The Group of Seven Summit held in June just 12 miles south of Garmisch is expected to draw large numbers of protestors. Those traveling to the area in the days leading up to, during or shortly after should expect potential road closures, travel delays and heightened security measures. The G7 Summit brings together seven heads of state from Germany, the U.S., the U.K., France, Italy, Japan and Canada. The summit will be held June 7-8 near Klais, Germany, just 20 minutes south of the U.S. Army installation in Garmisch. If you’re in or around Garmisch from June 1-12, here’s what you need to know: • Avoid the demonstrations. If you encounter one, move out of the area without delay. They can spontaneously turn violent even with only a few agitators. • Cooperate with German police, military police and security guards. Carry multiple identification documents with you at all times (such as your military identification and passport and SOFA card) and be prepared to show it to police officials in the event of a random security stop. Do not carry a knife, baseball bat, pepper spray, shock device or any other object that could be considered a weapon on you or in your car -- you could be detained and/or apprehended if you do.
• Avoid wearing a military uniform in public view to avoid any confrontations. Avoid unnecessary stops. Avoid exiting your vehicle while in uniform. Avoid wearing your uniform while escorting your children to and from and/or waiting at DoDDS bus stops located off the military installation in Garmisch. Do not wear a uniform while using public transportation or taxi services, or in public hotel areas. • Avoid displaying military decals or unit affiliations on vehicles. Do not openly display military equipment or field gear inside your vehicle. Do not display NATO School or other base parking permits. • Use plain civilian luggage. Avoid carrying military-looking bags such as duffle bags and assault packs. Ensure luggage tags do not show a rank or military address. • Keep a low profile. Be inconspicuous. Your dress, conduct and mannerisms should not attract attention and should blend in with those of host nation citizens. Do not wear distinctly military items or typically U.S. items. Avoid speaking loudly in English or in ways that attract attention. • Practice good OPSEC. Avoid answering questions about any base security measures, numbers of guards or other security personnel, lodging locations or itineraries of dignitaries or VIP personnel, or other sensitive topics.

Do not post sensitive information on any Internet social media forum such as Facebook. This includes base security measures or the current presence of dignitaries or other VIPs on the base or in the Edelweiss Hotel. • Know who you are signing into the military installation. Do not sign-in a stranger or someone you just met. Access Control Points will be closely monitored. • Practice common-sense crime prevention measures at your home. If your house is near or on an anticipated demonstration path, move your car off the street and park it at a remote location or in a garage. Close driveway gates and your window shutters during demonstrations. • Be especially mindful of your children’s activities and locations during this time. Parents should be aware of any developing security problems related to protestors. • Report suspicious activity. If you notice any suspicious activity near the kasernes, or observe any acts of vandalism or violence, report it by calling the military police immediately at 114 if you are on a military installation. Call the German Police at 110 if you are outside the military installation. Stay informed.

For your health
Compound prescription medications — what are they? By Lt. Col. (P) Ricardo Nannini, PharmD, MBA, Deputy Army Pharmacy Consultant
Costs associated with compounded pharmaceutical products have risen dramatically over the last several years. According to a Military Times article published in February 2015, the Department of Defense spent $746 million in 2014, up from $259 million in 2013. The article references DoD-provided data indicating that DoD expenditures for compounded prescriptions amount to $6 million per day. While the patient is only responsible for paying the $17 co-pay per prescription, the cost to the military health system may be more than a typical prescription product. The average cost per compounded prescription is $2,135, with claims for a single compounded prescription exceeding $10,000. This billing practice is resulting in a significant expense, and having a negative impact on any savings generated by the MHS pharmacy operations. The difference in the compounded prescriptions responsible for increased costs and traditional patient-specific compounding is the result of a heavily marketed industry for products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. These products claim to fill a niche market for pain relief, dermatologic conditions and other disorders where no FDA-approved product exits. Many of the ingredients are non-FDA approved, and there is limited evidence-based medicine supporting the indication and/or delivery method of the compounded product. Advocates for compounding argue that the compounded medications for pain management are reducing the need for oral opiate analgesics; however, there is limited evidence of safety and effectiveness supporting this claim. Not all of the products associated with increased costs are for pain. Some are for wrinkles, scars, and other dermatologic indications. Army Medicine’s efforts have been to increase awareness among military treatment facility providers to the associated costs and refill strategies employed by compounding pharmacies. The patient’s provider is in the best position to make a determination if a patient will benefit from a compounded medication. Prescribing compounded medications should be followed up with periodic patient assessment to determine benefit, risks and the need to continue therapy. One challenge is that many providers may not know that they have patients receiving compounded pre-

scriptions from outside compounding pharmacies. In addition, MTF providers may not be aware of the strategies used by the compounding pharmacy industry to market and increase prescribing for compounded prescriptions.
What are compounded prescriptions?
Healthcare providers typically think of compounded prescriptions, such as pediatric liquid preparations, as a method to transform a FDA-approved tablet or capsule into a liquid preparation that is not commercially available and easier to administer to the patient. Other examples of routine compounding include preparations made without excipients known to be allergenic to a specific patient. Pharmacists also compound a variety of topical preparations that are not available commercially to fill a specific patient’s clinical needs determined by the prescribing provider. Reasons for compounding aim to fill the need for non-commercially available dosage forms, drug shortages or where the commercial product is simply not tolerated by an individual patient. These examples of traditional compounding are relatively inexpensive, with an additional and reasonable pharmacy compounding fee charged by the retail pharmacy. In some cases, such products are prepared by the local MTF pharmacy at a cost lower than that charged by the network pharmacies. Compounded prescriptions associated with increased costs use bulk active ingredients, which are either non-FDA approved drugs and/or transformed into a non-FDA approved drug product. For example, compounded products combine multiple active ingredients from bulk powders, injectable and/or transformed tablets/capsules to produce a non-commercially available route of delivery for these agents. The compounded products are usually applied topically and may contain as many as six (or more) active drug ingredients depending on the marketed indication. Compounding pharmacies market these products for dermatologic conditions, neuropathies, pain, inflammation and other uses.
Safety concerns
The compounding pharmacies claim that their topical preparations target the affected areas directly, without causing systemic side effects. However, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices recently presented concern for compounded topical pain preparations in an article published in their January/ February 2015 issue of SAFE Medicine,
Photo graphic courtesy of www.shutterstock.com
entitled, “Designer pain creams and ointments are profitable for compounding pharmacies but risky for patients and children.” The article alerts providers and patients to the potential risks of using compounded prescriptions, and presents cases where adverse effects and harm have been associated with their use. Concerns highlighted in the ISMP article include central nervous system and cardiac toxicity following topical administration, and children being exposed to compounded medications unintentionally after coming into contact with the product applied to a parent’s skin. Other concerns include safe storage of compounded medicines outside of the reach of children, and lack of awareness that compounded prescription packaging may not be child resistant. Providers, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals should counsel patients on the potential risks, appropriate use and safe storage of compounded prescriptions to prevent adverse events and harm.
Compounding pharmacy practices
The compounding pharmacy industry primarily operates by accepting prescriptions from providers or patients submitted through the mail or by fax, and filling them for delivery to the patient using in-house mail services. The compounding pharmacy mail service is not associated with the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy known as Home Delivery. Compounding pharmacies may also use automatic refills, to ensure that the patient receives another prescription and that another claim is submitted to TRICARE. The compounding pharmacies submit claims directly to the TRICARE Pharmacy Program.
The Defense Health Agency Pharmacy Work Group is aware of several practices that may be increasing sales of compounded prescriptions. For example, compounding pharmacies may encourage automatic refills by including printed language on the network pharmacy’s pre-printed prescription form. The prescribing provider must actively check a box or indicate on the form that no refills were authorized when they were prescribed; otherwise, the compounding pharmacy may automatically refill the prescription and submit subsequent claims. Also, the DHA reports that patients have received prescriptions refills without their provider’s knowledge. Providers who become aware of this practice should call his/her patient to assess if continued use of the product is of clinical value, and call the compounding pharmacy to cancel the prescription, if necessary. Compounding pharmacies are marketing directly to MTF providers and TRICARE beneficiaries. Healthcare professionals who become aware of such practices should report them to their chain of command. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) do not cover nonFDA approved ingredients contained in compounded prescriptions. Private health systems provide compounded products, when indicated, using inhouse pharmacies. The Department of Veterans Affairs also provides in-house compounded products on a limited basis. DHA recently established a screening process, including a prior authorization, which became effective on May 1, 2015, to govern claims associated with compounded medications.

A celebrated military contractor returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and re-connects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him in “Aloha.”
Mad Max: Fury Road — An apocalyptic story is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There’s Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. Furiosa is a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Woman in Gold — Maria Altmann, an octogenarian Jewish refugee, takes on the Austrian government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. San Andreas — A sudden and destructive magnitude earthquake that registers 9.5 on the Richter scale leaves California in peril as it tears through the state, leaving a horrible path of destruction in its wake as it heads to San Francisco, where scientists have predicted it will cause the most damage. As it rips apart the West Coast bit by bit, Ray (Dwayne Johnson), a rescue chopper pilot, saves his estranged wife Emma (Carla Gugino), after the restaurant she was in at the top of a high rise building starts to collapse. He then gets a call from their daughter Blake (Alexandra Daddario), who is in San Francisco trapped in a car in a garage, abandoned by her mother’s new boyfriend, Daniel (Ioan Gruffudd). Ray and Emma try to get to San Francisco to save their daughter before it’s too late. Tomorrowland — From Disney comes two-time Oscar (R) winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure “Tomorrowland,” starring Academy Award (R) winner George Clooney. Bound by a shared destiny, former boy-genius Frank (Clooney), jaded by disillusionment, and Casey (Britt Robertson), a bright, optimistic teen bursting with scientific curiosity, embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space known only as “Tomorrowland.” What they must do there changes the world — and them — forever. Featuring a screenplay by “Lost” writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird, from a story by Lindelof, Bird and Jeff Jensen, “Tomorrowland” promises to take audiences on a thrill ride of nonstop adventures through new dimensions that have only been dreamed of.

Tulipmania Indulge in aromatherapy at the Netherlands’ Keukenhof Gardens Story and photos by Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs office
This must be what heaven is like. The thought is undoubtedly what goes through every flower fiend’s mind as they enter the sprawling scene at Keukenhof Gardens: bursts of crimson, lilac, butter yellow and tangerine, dappled with green stems, hills and rivers of tulips begging you to dive in. A stroll through Keukenhof feels more like a swim through a fragrant ocean of petals, and a tour in Europe is incomplete without at least one visit to this unique oasis, just four and a half hours’ drive from Wiesbaden. It’s indeed difficult to argue with the park’s claim as “the most beautiful garden in the world.” Its roots began in the 15th century when Countess Jacqueline of Bavaria gathered fruits and vegetables from the gardens and surrounding dunes for her kitchen — hence the name Keukenhof, which means “kitchen garden.” Opening in 1950 as a permanent exhibition for spring, it boasts more than seven million bulbs in bloom and 800 varieties of tulips. This year, it was open only from March 20 to May 17 as tulips have a short blooming period. The theme was Holland’s other national treasure, the impressionist artist Vincent Van
Gogh, honored with a tulip display made in his likeness. An exhibit called Tulpomania paid homage to the Netherlands’ most famous export, offering tulip trivia, tulip-planting tips, bulbs for sale and even the opportunity to christen a tulip after oneself. It was interesting to learn that tulips originate in Turkey and China, not Holland, and that the name comes from the Persian word tulipan, which means turban — referring to the shape of the bulb. Seemingly endless rows of tulips showcased more variety than imaginable (who knew some had petals with ruffled edges?). The deep violet, almost black variety was named “Van Gogh,” a stark contrast to the cheery yellow “Spongebob.” A fantastically fuchsia tulip was named “Hot Pants.” In addition to tulips, the park features greenhouses filled with orchids, lilies and other blooms. The orchid display in particular was astounding, a testament to love. Orchids hung from white wooden branches, 10-foot-tall letters spelling L-O-V-E, a man and woman atop what looked like a wedding cake, and more. Humanity is surely at its best while wandering through fields of flowers, children included. They were further pacified with free access to a small petting zoo, with placid goats, bunnies and chickens

welcome pets and food. In the center of the park, a small stage invited weary flower-watchers to sit down and enjoy a classical music performance paired with champagne and strawberries served by attendees in period dress. Cafes, restaurants and waffle vendors throughout the park ensure you’re fueled for a day full of wandering. Whiffs of warm waffles topped with powdered sugar were just as enticing as the floral scents wafting through the breeze. The most difficult part was putting down the camera to simply take it all in. The experience is truly a feast for the senses, a welcome respite from the blueglaring screens and electronic overload of everyday life. But to experience Holland’s brand of floratherapy will have to wait until next year. The gardens open in 2016 from March 24 to May 16. For more information visit http:// www.keukenhof.nl/en/.
