‘It’s important that we recognize and honor survivors’ By Chrystal Smith
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
For one survivor, it had been less than five months since the death of his son. For a wife and daughter, only six months have passed. A sister was present whose brother died during the Vietnam War. Regardless of when the loved ones were lost, the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community thought it vitally important to commiserate with the survivors of fallen Soldiers and honor their sacrifice during
a ceremony April 22. Col. David Carstens’ father survived the sinking of the SS Leopoldville and combat during the World War II. And though his father never talked about his military service, Carstens said, the revelation of why bridged seamlessly with the reason many gathered for the somber event. Carstens, USAG Wiesbaden commander, told of how his father stayed connected with the families of many of the See Gold Stars on page 8 Photo by Karl Weisel

Commentary
Freedom 6 sends: ‘Premier all-volunteer Army’ By Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr.
Commander of U.S. Army Europe
As I highlight the Chief of Staff of the Army’s fifth and final strategic priority, I find it fitting that this month we also observe and celebrate Memorial Day. As “the premier all-volunteer Army,” this means honoring the service and sacrifice of our fallen heroes, Soldiers, civilians, veterans, retirees, wounded warriors and families in various ways. In 1973 the United States eliminated the draft and moved to an all-volunteer Army. Many believed this was a reasonable possibility during peacetime, but that armed forces involved in a major conflict could not be voluntary. Today
as we look back on over 40 years of an all-volunteer force we have proven time and again that we can defend our great nation in peaceLt. Gen. Donald M. time and in war, consisCampbell Jr. tently demonstrating our abilities from Desert Storm to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As we look to the future, it is important now more than ever to have Soldiers among us who truly want to serve and
make a difference in themselves and in our Army. We need to recruit and retain young men and women who live the Army Values and exemplify the Warrior Ethos on a daily basis. Maintaining the premier all-volunteer force demands quality benefits like Morale, Welfare and Recreation, education assistance, exchanges, housing, dependent schools, commissaries, and child and youth programs that are components of a dedicated professional force. Here in U.S. Army Europe, we consistently work with the Installation Management CommandEurope to look for ways to preserve the highest possible quality of life on our installations and wherever our Soldiers, civilians and families work and live.
I am proud of every Soldier and civilian in USAREUR, not only for volunteering to support and defend the United States of America, but for continuing to serve proudly and professionally in your current positions here in Europe. In my 36 years of service, our Army has never been better equipped and ready to face a continually changing operational environment, and that’s because of the innovation, discipline and professionalism of our Soldiers, civilians and leaders. I want to thank each and every one of you for the service and dedication you provide every day to “The premier all-volunteer Army.” Strong Soldiers, Strong Teams.

Great theater experience
Bill B. commented: My family took a brief vacation in the Wiesbaden area and noticed posters for “The Addams Family” musical at the Amelia Earhart Playhouse. We were able to purchase tickets, and all of us really enjoyed the performance. The theater was small and intimate, and the cast, crew and orchestra were excellent. It was clear they enjoyed what they were doing and even stayed after the show to talk to the audience and sign autographs. We had a great experience. Response: I’m glad to hear you and your family, like many other theater-goers, had an opportunity to catch the Amelia Earhart’s latest production. They do a wonderful job and were recently recognized at the Installation Management Command-Europe’s annual Tournament of Plays competition (editor’s note: see page 7 for the results). Thanks to the talented volunteers and staff who put in so much hard work and passion to make each production a winner.

Students help citizens recall Holocaust victims Story and photo by Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
It was a busy day on a bustling street. As pedestrians pushed their way past Helenenstr. 23, a group of German and American students paused to commemorate the lives of one Wiesbaden family snuffed out in the Holocaust. “I feel this is preventative,” said Hannah Cornish, a Wiesbaden High School ninth-grader who helped raise money for the memorial project as a middleschooler. “If we acknowledge what was done in the past, maybe it won’t happen again in the future.” Students from an elementary school in Naurod and American youths from Wiesbaden Middle School gathered April 29 to watch as city worker Ertan Tezcan placed “Stumbling Stones” (golden stones designed by artist Gunter Demnig) in the memory of the Weiser family, Wiesbaden citizens who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. Members of the middle school’s history class and Junior Leadership Seminar held fundraising events to help pay for the stones which are placed throughout the city in honor of Jewish and other citizens killed during the Holocaust. The Weisers resided at Helenenstr. 23 before being forced to flee to Poland in 1938 in the wake of Nazi persecution of Jewish citizens. After the Nazis rolled into Poland, the Weisers took refuge in the forest but were ultimately denounced and most likely shot. “This is kind of a full circle thing,” said Cornish. “I never knew how much the Holocaust impacted Wiesbaden, but by purchasing a stone, we can help make people aware.”
German students from an elementary school in Naurod and American youths from Wiesbaden Middle School look on as Ertan Tezcan places “Stumbling Stones” in memory of the Weiser family, murdered during World War II. The Wiesbaden middle-schoolers said by studying modern slavery and the Holocaust, it has made them more cognizant of how people have been and
are continuing to be persecuted around the globe. “We want them to have an awareness of the world around them and to know the history of the world around us,” said Wiesbaden Middle School eighthgrade history teacher Donna Kimelman, adding that having the opportunity in some fashion to remember those who perished has been rewarding. “I’m Jewish and moving to Germany was a big issue for my family,” Kimelman said. “It took a leap for them to get over being in Germany. This makes me feel more whole.” For Elaine Sinclair the small ceremony was personal. “My mother was the niece of Ester and Hermann (the Weiser family — killed along with their children Julius, Adolf and Dora Eva). … My parents were both Holocaust survivors. “I think it’s a wonderful thing being done. … the fact that children have sponsored these stones,” said Sinclair who traveled from Great Britain for the placing of the stones, “that future generations will remember. It’s looking forward.” The Stumbling Stones (Stolpersteine) can be found in 1,000 locations in Europe with more than 40,000 installed stones and 500 in Wiesbaden alone. The intent, as quoted from the “Talmud” on the artist’s website is to not forget: “Ein Mensch ist erst vergessen, wenn sein Name vergessen ist (a person is first forgotten when his name is forgotten).” For more information visit www.stolpersteine.eu/ en.

Legal advice
Preparing for next permanent change of station move PCS season is fast approaching. For many members of the Wiesbaden community that means saying goodbye and packing household goods for a return to the United States. Loss or damage to goods shipped between continents is even more likely than during a local move, but there are a number of things people can do before the movers arrive to minimize loss. Before the movers arrive, families should take a good inventory of their valuable and fragile possessions. If you have not already created a binder with your purchase receipts in it, now is the time. No greater piece of evidence justifies the value of your item than the receipt from when you bought it. The receipts you keep clarify dates of purchase, price paid, brands and model numbers. This type of evidence goes a long way in determining the difference

Once the movers arrive, be sure to use the high-value item inventory for anything other than furniture worth more than $100. Additionally, small, loose valuables such as jewelry should be locked up and secured before the movers arrive, as should any pets you have.

Honoring volunteers’ impact on community Story and photo by Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
It’s no exaggeration to say that volunteers are the lifeblood of a community. Without their contributions, dedication and selfless service, the Wiesbaden military community would be a much different place. “Through countless acts of kindness, generosity and service, Americans recognize that we are all bound together — that we move this country forward by giving of ourselves to others and caring for those around us,” declared President Barack Obama in the 2014 Presidential Proclamation honoring volunteers nationwide during National Volunteer Week. “Every day, Americans carry forward the tradition of service embedded in our character as a people. “Across our country, volunteers open doors of opportunity, pave avenues of success, fortify their communities and lay the foundation for tomorrow’s growth and prosperity. … because of their service, our country is a better and stronger force for good,” the president added. Members of the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden took time out to celebrate their outstanding volunteer contributions during the 2014 Volunteer Recognition Ceremony at the Community Activity Center April 25. “We are extremely proud to recognize our most outstanding volunteer organizations,” said Camille Howes, with the garrison’s Plans, Analysis and Integration Office. “Today four of these organizations have achieved over 5,000 volunteer hours during the course of the year.” Wiesbaden’s American Red Cross led the way in the past year with 10,284 volunteer hours. Other organizations recognized for more than 5,000 volunteer hours included the Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club; Child, Youth and School Services; and the Wiesbaden Protestant Gospel Service.

David Carstens, USAG Wiesbaden commander, congratulated the Volunteer Family of the Year — the Parker family (Curtis Parker is the chief of Client Services with the Staff Judge Advocate) — for their extensive involvement with the Wiesbaden Wahoos swim team and Venture Crew 107 Scouting program. “Through active volunteerism and within our community, the Parkers have guided and mentored many youth to be Reach Paris at top speed and low prices. well-rounded individuals who Frankfurt–Paris 5 times a day directly in less than 4 hours.

JROTC: By Kierra Carr
Special to the Herald Union
Students join the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps for many different reasons. Some do it to become more active in their community. Others say it’s for the opportunities to network and for personal growth. The JROTC’s mission statement is to motivate young people to be better citizens. JROTC is an elective offered at most U.S. and Department of Defense Dependents high schools. Some join JROTC to gain experience for a future career in the military. “The reason why I joined JROTC four years ago was to become more active in the community and to become a better person,” said cadet 2nd Lt. Steven Asbaugh. “I joined JROTC for my first year simply because I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a fun time with friends,” cadet Pfc. Justin Whatley. Another cadet had a different reason for signing up. “I actually joined because my mom made me, but now looking back it, I’m glad she did,” said cadet Command Sgt. Maj. William Stinson. In the classroom, cadets do handson training such as map-reading, CPR training, handling rifles and marching. “My favorite part about JROTC is when we get to march. I love to be synchronized with all the other cadets,” said Whatley. “The part I like most is, no matter who you are, JROTC connects you to all types of people,” said Stinson. “The best part is having the ability to lead and teach other cadets, because that was the reason I joined to be a good leader,” said cadet Staff Sgt. Victor Boney.
‘To become a great leader you have to first be able to be a great follower’
“I have been in JROTC for three years now and my favorite part about it is how much JROTC has taught me. It has helped me with my organizational skills as well as my leadership skills,” said cadet Capt. Kendra Shaw. “I like every aspect of JROTC, but my favorite part is the hands-on experience,” said Ashbaugh. The JROTC program is partially taught by Army Instructor Master Sgt. Rocky L. Foote. “I decided to become a JROTC instructor just prior to retiring from the Air Force in 1992. I was hired as an instructor two years after, and my first school was in Maryland, teaching over 200 cadets. I’m in charge of the drill team and coordinating social events for the cadets such as setting up the military ball and the awards banquet,” said Foote. “The best part about being an instructor is getting the cadets ready for real life after high school; whether it is military or civilian related,” he said. When the cadets are not in the classroom, they usually are involved in physical training. “I especially love physical training, because it gives us cadets a break from the routine classroom activities and a chance to have a fun time and practice teamwork,” said Whatley. Physical training varies from participating in team sports such as basketball, flag football, Ultimate Frisbee to the cadet challenge. The cadet challenge tests the cadets’ physical abilities through quantitative assessment in activities such as sit-ups, push-ups and running a mile. The girl and boy who does the best is rewarded with
a PT medal at the awards banquet held in May. “The most important thing I teach is discipline — either lead, follow or get out of the way, and always be respectful,” said Foote, adding, “All cadets take away and grasp different things and aspects from the JROTC program.” “In JROTC I have learned that in order to become a great leader you have to first be able to be a great follower,” said Boney. “I learned leadership skills and knowledge, results in bettering myself as a student as well as a cadet,” said Ashbaugh. “What I learned from JROTC is how to stand up for myself and how to be an elite leader amongst those of my age and elders as well,” said Stinson. “While being a cadet in JROTC I have learned how to be more disciplined, and it has also assisted me in becoming a better leader and citizen,” said Shaw. “As a whole, this program has shaped me into the student I am today.” Students can join JROTC by talking to their guidance counselor about selecting it as an elective. (Kierra Carr, a Wiesbaden High School senior and JROTC cadet, is a student intern with the garrison’s Public Affairs Office.)

CYSS spring sports in full swing By Peter Witmer
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden School Liaison Officer
Great weather has been the norm so far and the best possible news for hundreds of enthusiastic youth athletes in the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Child Youth and School Services spring 2014 sports program. “Seven-hundred-and-twenty youths, 75 coaches, 136 practices and 65 games is an average week for CYSS sports” said Randall Alexander, CYSS sports director. “It is great to see so many registered this year for spring sports and especially good to have so many volunteer coaches help out.” “Coordinating fields and practice times for all of our activities is a challenge,” said Ronnie Pineda, CYSS sports clinician, adding that having “the opportunity to see kids develop, get exercise and have fun makes all the effort worthwhile.” The opportunity to share his passion for the game of baseball with young players is one of the reasons Master Sgt. Mike Perry volunteers his time to coach his 13-15-year-old junior baseball team. “Seeing individual players improve is a highlight of coaching for me and watching players go from being individuals
Coach Christopher Zayas talks about different soccer techniques. and then come together as a team is very rewarding.” Perry added that “being on a team is a great experience for young athletes and it teaches kids some great life skills.” Baseball is just one of several spring sports offered by CYSS. Golf, baseball, softball and track provide a range of activities to get Wiesbaden youths moving.
At a recent Pee Wee soccer practice first time CYSS sports participant 5-year-old Alaina Parker took a few minutes to talk about soccer. “I like to score goals,” she said, appearing more interested in playing soccer than discussing the subject. “I like to play with my friends, too.” “Coach Z (Christopher Zayas), that’s what everyone calls him, is great with the kids,” said Jewels Parker, Alaina’s mother. “He makes it fun for everyone, and Alaina really enjoys practice. The CYSS program has really given her a great opportunity to make friends. We look forward to many seasons; I am sure she will play soccer again in the fall.” When asked what else he would want the community to know about the CYSS Sports program, Alexander said, “We are privileged to mentor future leaders, and we simply could not field so many teams without all of our volunteer coaches. Please be sure to thank all the coaches.” For CYSS sports game schedules or information on being a volunteer coach contact the CYSS Sports Office at mil 548-9360 or civ (0611) 143-548-9360.

The Quiet Ones (PG-13) — Inspired by true events, this film tells the story of an unorthodox, charismatic professor who uses controversial methods and leads his best students off the grid to take part in a dangerous experiment: to create a poltergeist from negative human energy. Stars Jared Harris and Erin Richards. The Amazing Spider Man 2 (PG-13) — For Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). Only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. Neighbors (R) — Seth Rogen stars as a father who moves his family right next to a frat house run by an obnoxious student (played by Zac Efron). Mom’s Night Out (PG) — All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and conversation in this family comedy — a long-needed moms’ night out. But in order to enjoy high heels, adult conversation and food not served in a bag, they need their husbands to watch the kids for a few hours. What could go wrong? Stars Sarah Drew, Trace Adkins and Sean Astin. Godzilla (PG-13) — The world’s most revered monster is reborn in this retelling of the Godzilla saga and a story about human courage and reconciliation in the face of titanic forces of nature. Godzilla rises to restore balance as humanity stands defenseless. Million Dollar Arm (PG) — Based on a true story, this film follows JB Bernstein (played by Jon Hamm), a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if JB doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, JB comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell and Alan Arkin.

After the introduction of the vaccine in 2007, studies conducted in Australia and the United States all identified a decrease in genital warts as a result of HPV in both males and females under the age of 25. Similar decreases among the Army active-duty component beginning in 2007 were reported
in a recent Medical Surveillance Monthly Report. The MSMR reported 163 new cases of HPV per 10,000 person-years from 20002012. Rates observed among women were twice as high as those among men. Rates for both males and females decreased with age, dropping substantially by age 25. By comparison, the rate of chlamydia for the same population and time period was 148 and for gonorrhea was 37.
While there is no test to determine one’s overall HPV status, the PAP test is used to screen for cervical cancer in females beginning at the age of 21. In females over the age of 30, an HPV test can be performed along with the PAP test. There is no HPV test available at this time for males, nor is there a test to identify HPV in the mouth or throat. Consult with your primarycare provider if you have any concerns about HPV or HPV vaccination, or to begin the vaccine series.

oilet paper roll towers, paper helicopters, International Space Station convection experiments and a host of other hands-on demonstrations welcomed visitors to Hainerberg Elementary School’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Night April 24. As visitors made their way from room to room they were invited to help build bridges, participate in a recycling toss event, make acoustic instruments and other activities designed to encourage exploration and horizon expansion. “We know that problem-solvingbased learning is critical,” said Hainerberg Elementary School Principal Penelope Miller-Smith. “Using the engineering design process allows the students to use their skills in a hands-on activity. “ “All of the teachers chose what they wanted to do,” added Assistant Principal Gwendolyn Ziegler, explaining that after being shown the engineering design process the teachers “embedded” that construct into their classrooms to encourage students to “have a dialogue” about approach challenges and solve problems. “We’re trying to get the kids excited about careers in engineering (and science, technology and math),” Ziegler said. Using green technology and through interactive hands-on activities, “we’re trying to set the stage” to encourage students to develop a real interest in the STEM fields, she added.
