Wiesbaden Middle School celebrates Blue Ribbon Award
Nov. 19, 2015
Wiesbaden honors veterans
By Shayna Brouker
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
Wiesbaden Middle School racked up another ribbon to its collection of accolades for excellence, celebrating with a schoolwide assembly Nov. 2. Along with students and teachers, Department of Defense Education Activity-Europe Superintendent Dr. Deb McMullen and U.S. Army Europe Commanding General, Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, were in attendance. “What an honor you have brought to DoDEA,” she said. “It’s because of your dedication that you brought home the Blue Ribbon.” WMS is one of 335 schools recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2015, “based on their overall academic excellence or their progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups. These schools demonstrate that all students can achieve to high levels. The National Blue Ribbon School award affirms the hard work of students, educators, families, and communities in creating safe and welcoming schools where students master challenging content. The National Blue Ribbon School flag gracing an entry or flying overhead is a widely recognized symbol of exemplary teaching and learning,” according to the website. It’s also the first in history to earn both the Blue Ribbon and the Green Ribbon, which recognizes schools that achieve excellence in environmental friendliness and creating healthy environments. “We are very proud of you and all that Dr. Hargis and her team of educators has done,” said USAG Wiesbaden Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin in a video. “Go Wildcats, keep up the great success. We pray for your continued success.” Several other VIPs shared praise for the school, including one DoDEA alumnus and military child whom Principal Dr. Susan Hargis found through social media: former ambassador to Germany from 1991 to 1993, Robert Kimmitt, who himself attended DoDEA schools as a child when his family was See ‘Blue’ on page 4

Garrison pays homage to Native American Heritage By Shayna Brouker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office
The U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community was treated to an event commemorating the heritage and contributions of the Native American people Nov. 12 at the Tony Bass Auditorium. Minds were enlightened and stereotypes were shed
through guest speakers and rousing song and dance performances at the Native American Heritage Observance event. It was hosted by USAG Wiesbaden Equal Employment Opportunity and the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade. “It is such an honor for 66th to host this event,” said Col. David Pendall, brigade commander. “We are here to celebrate the fabric of the

Well done, it’s a privilege to work out here and I’m grateful for that privilege. However, today I arrived at the gym to find a new rule implemented and being enforced. You now must sign out barbells from the front desk. After speaking to the staff I learned this new rule was implemented after someone dropped a barbell and broke it. I understand that people shouldn’t be breaking stuff, and people who disrespect the equipment or others should be removed from the facility. That said, people have broken other gym items and we don’t have to check those out. I’m sure other facilities have their share of people who treat equipment poorly, maybe reach out to them to find out what they do to stop people who mistreat equipment. Thank you for your time. Response: Thank you for your concern. You’ll be happy to know this rule is only temporary.

Obama stresses country’s debt to veterans By Jim Garamone Defense Media Activity
Americans must do more than simply recognize what veterans mean to the country one day a year, President Barack Obama said here today. While it is right and proper to recognize veterans on Veterans Day, “our tributes will ring hollow if we stop there,” the president said after placing a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. “If tomorrow, after the parades and the ceremonies, we roll up the banners and sweep the veterans’ halls and go back to our daily lives, forgetting the bond between the service of our veterans and our obligations as citizens, then we will be doing a profound disservice to our veterans and to the very cause for which they serve,” he said. Veterans Day “is also a reminder of all that they still have to give to our nation and our duty to them,” Obama said. There are 21.5 million veterans today and the country is in the midst of a new wave of veterans, the president said. Since 9/11 more than a million service members have completed their military service and returned to civilian life. Each year another 200,000 transition to veteran status. The 9/11 generation — tested in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — deserve the care they were promised, Obama said. “The good news is that in recent years, we have made historic invest-

The disability claims backlog is slashed by nearly 90 percent. There has been tremendous progress in “reducing the outrage of veterans’
homelessness,” the president said. “Still, the unacceptable problems that we’ve seen, like long wait times and some veterans not getting the timely care that they need, is a challenge for all of us if we are to match our words with deeds.” Despite the progress, Obama is not satisfied. “We are going to keep investing in the facilities and the physicians and the staff to make sure that our veterans get the care that you need when you need it,” he said. “That is our obligation, and we are not going to let up.” Veterans also need the skills needed to compete for 21st century jobs. More than 1.5 million veterans and their Families are using the post-9/11 G.I. Bill for education. “That’s why we worked to make sure that every state now provides veterans and their Families with in-state tuition,” Obama said. “That’s why we’re fighting to make it easier for our veterans to get the licenses and certifications to transition the outstanding skills they gained in the armed services to civilian jobs. That’s why we’re helping more veterans and military spouses find jobs.” Veteran unemployment is 3.9 percent — even lower than the national average, which is 5 percent. Government alone can’t do it all, nor should it, the president said. “I realize that with less than 1 percent of Americans serving in uniform, the other 99 percent of folks don’t always see and appreciate the incredible skills and assets
that our veterans can offer,” he said. “On this Veterans Day, here’s what I want every American to know. Our veterans are some of the most talented, driven, capable people on Earth.” Leaders tested on the battlefield have no fear of making decisions in a corporation. Specialists using cutting edge technologies can apply those skills in the civilian sector. Veterans demonstrated the ability to adapt, and while primarily warriors, also have performed humanitarian work and recovery operations. “They’ve managed large-scale projects, they’ve learned how to work on teams, how to stay committed to a mission, how to solve seemingly intractable problems,” the president said. “They get stuff done, and they are selfless, and they are brave and they are qualified. And America needs folks who know how to get stuff done.” Service members who come home are not done serving. They are the ones volunteering for Scout troops or service organizations or at religious institutions. “Our veterans are moms and dads, they are teachers and doctors, engineers and entrepreneurs, social workers and community leaders,” he said. “They are serving in statehouses across the country, they are serving in Congress. You’ve got a proud veteran, retired Navy Capt. Scott Kelly, commander of the International Space Station, who is up there right now.”

Winter tires required
Winter will be here soon. Winter tires should be on your vehicle from Oct. 1 to April 1. German law requires that vehicles have “adequate tires” for winter driving. This means that in high-snow areas like Bavaria, vehicles must have snow tires mounted. In areas not regarded as “snow prone” like Wiesbaden, the use of all-season tires with an M/S label or a snowflake label are acceptable. Winter tires should have a tread depth of at least 3 millimeters. While there is no criminal penalty for not having snow tires in this area, your insurance company could find you at fault if you are involved in an accident even if you didn’t cause it.

He credited his experience living abroad and learning German in eighth grade for his professional success. “I am only realizing now what a great opportunity it was,” he said. “It will prepare you for crossing borders successfully. I wouldn’t have been an effective ambassador to Germany without that experience…you will be proud to tell people 50 years from now that you were a Wiesbaden Middle School student.” Hodges spoke about his own experiences studying alongside his peers at the U.S. Military Academy. Those who were military brats, he recalled, were a little different. “They were more mature, had a bigger view of the world and were better prepared to take on its challenges,” he said. “When I saw that, it gave me the confidence to have my own family study in DoDEA schools. “The problems that the world faces now require a multinational approach. You can help be a part of the solution.” The school choir performed a rousing rendition of a song called “The Rhythm of Life” and students themselves recounted what made them proud to be Wildcat: virtually eliminating the achievement gap between white and AfricanAmerican students to two points,

CYSS gets perfect score in annual inspection By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Marketing Office
Achieving a near perfect score is no small achievement. It’s even more impressive when one considers that inspectors took a hard look at 1,813 individual areas in Wiesbaden Child, Youth and School Services facilities to come up with a score of 99.33 out of a possible 100 total. “Unofficially, we were told that that is the best in Europe and most likely also the highest score on an Army Higher Headquarters Inspection in the Army,” said Petra Rohr, Wiesbaden CYSS program operations specialist. The Higher Headquarters Inspection is only one of many regular formal and informal overviews conducted throughout the year to ensure all Wiesbaden CYSS facilities are in strict compliance with everything from fire safety to financial management, staff training to child care standards. Inspectors dig into the daily operations of the wide range of service including Child Development Centers and Family Child Care, School Age Centers and Youth Services. “Annually we are required to do three internal inspections,” said Rohr, explaining that the command calls for the unannounced inspections conducted by various garrison components examining Comprehensive Health and Safety, Fire Safety and Facility, and Multidisciplinary Team overview. The Army Higher Headquarters Inspection is also an annual unannounced inspection process bringing a team from the Installation Management Command’s G-9 staff to Wiesbaden to spend four to five days in the garrison. “It’s a very thorough inspection,” Rohr said, taking a comprehensive look at the staff, facilities, participants and all paperwork and standards. “Typically, each program director gets feedback on things that might need to be fixed,” she said, adding that leaders are briefed on the results during an out-briefing to the command team and regional IMCOM director.

U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs
The Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic was recognized Nov. 13, during an Army & Occupational Health Star Site award ceremony, marking the clinic as one of the best in the Army. The award, represented by a gold star symbol, recognizes the clinic for earning the highest level of safety as determined by the judging system. “The Wiesbaden Army Clinic totally deserves this award,” said Harry Raith, the Landstuhl Regional Medical Command safety manager. “Safety is all about attitude and after working with you over the past couple years, I am certain that everyone here has the right attitude.” Lt. Col.

Army CID:
Be wary of possible scams U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command, commonly known as CID, warns the Army community to be aware of Internet extortion and blackmail scams and report any instance where a Soldier, Army dependent, or Army civilian is or has been faced with threats involving the payment of money or other valuables. “In many instances, the situation begins when an unknowing victim is befriended by someone on the Internet, often as part of an online dating or social media site,” said Daniel Andrews, director of CID’s Computer Crime Investigative Unit. “The scammer quickly builds a friendship and trust with the victim, and will begin to ask for or discuss information or photos that could be hurtful to one’s personal or professional life if revealed. Because the victim does not realize they are being scammed, they see the requests or discussion as a normal part of the developing friendship and are willing to share the information.” To the victim’s surprise, Andrews said, the scammers then threatens to release that information if money is not paid. CID officials said the best thing Soldiers, civilians, and their family members can do is to try to prevent it from ever taking place. All are encouraged to be cautious with their online presence and what information they give to people they have met online or via email, and be vigilant when receiving calls from individuals posing as legitimate businesses. Soldiers, Army civilians, and their family members who have been threatened with extortion should contact their installation Military Police or CID office. Individuals can also email CID at Army.CID.Crime.Tips@mail.mil, or call 1-844-ARMY-CID (844-276-9243).

Community members work out in the new Functional Fitness Annex on Clay Kaserne Nov. 5.
Fitness annex offers functional alternative By Karl Weisel
U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Marketing Office
While a massive water leak caused a temporary disruption of operations at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center, more and more community members are discovering that the new Functional Fitness Annex, adjacent to the Strong Teams Europe Cafe Dining Facility, is still meeting the needs of patrons. “The idea was to create a separate space for functional fitness and cross-fitters even before the water damage occurred,” said Maria Diaz, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden installation fitness coordinator. Diaz said that with the opening of the fitness annex, some patrons are having to get reacquainted with the rules intended for their safety and the maintenance of the equipment. “These rules are not intended to make the workout more difficult — they are to protect the integrity of these Soldiers and the equipment. There are safety guidelines that everyone must follow,” Diaz said. “We have over $50,000 worth of new equipment that we need to care for,” said Rachael Pecoraro, Fitness Center Annex facility manager. “The issue that we are having is that when some of the Cross Fit groups are executing their workouts they are dropping the barbells... Our biggest concern about dropping the barbells from the shoulder level is the safety of the individuals and others in the facility.” “Our patrons’ safety is paramount,” said Diaz, adding that the posted rules are geared toward preventing injuries and maintaining the flooring and fitness apparatus. “We’ve been updating our signs to better inform patrons about the use of the space and equipment,” she added. “This pertains to all of our equipment — not just the barbells, but also the kettlebells and dumb-
bells... We have an obligation to our families, service members and civilians to protect our equipment.” “Space is not the issue,” said Pecoraro. “It’s protecting the equipment. We only have one gym and need to maintain it for the use of everyone.” Wiesbaden Sports and Fitness Director Kevin Ringgold said the Fitness Center Annex is offering a new free session to “provide an explanation of the best use and care of the new equipment including the barbells, rowers, tires, yoke and sleds — and how they can be used while training. “The session is a prerequisite for all of our classes offered in the Fitness Center Annex,” Ringgold said, explaining that a sports specialist will help patrons determine which of the new functional fitness classes is best suited to the individual based on nine-to-12 foundational movements.” A Functional Fitness Foundation class, taught by a functional fitness instructor, also offers an introduction to functional fitness. “With an emphasis on form, each class will focus on teaching you consistent mechanics for two foundational movements and be followed by a short but effective workout,” Ringgold said. “If you have always wanted to try functional fitness, this is the perfect place to start,” he said, adding that anyone interested in attending the class must complete a free equipment orientation/movement assessment before registering. For more information, visit the Wiesbaden Fitness Center page at wiesbaden.armymwr.com or stop by the Fitness Center Annex next to the center and adjacent to the dining facility on Clay Kaserne. The Fitness Center Annex is open the same hours as the Wiesbaden Fitness Center: Monday to Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, Federal and Training Holidays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The stage program on the Liebfrauenplatz makes for happy faces in both younger and older visitors. Numerous cathedral concerts and matinees, the traditional fairytale performance at the Mainzer Staatstheater (state theatre) and the popular Christmas card printing in the Gutenberg Museum’s printing shop are also features of the special Christmas attractions in Mainz this year.

On the Domplätzen (areas around the cathedral), carousels and hand-made toys make children’s hearts beat faster. Visitors interested in arts and crafts will really enjoy visiting the artists’ workshop. The eleven-metre-high, richly-decorated Christmas pyramid ensures shining eyes in the little courtyard which is the main access to the market. Just a few steps further on, visitors are impressed by the hand-carved, life-size Nativity figures in front of the Gotthardkapelle (Gotthard chapel) of the Martinsdoms (cathedral).

Players were able to represent their home school by wearing their helmets during the Department of Defense Education Activity – Europe All Star Game Nov. 14. Story and photos by Jacqueline Workman Special to the Herald Union
Athletes from throughout the Department of Defense Education Activity – Europe gathered together and spent three days training to work as a team for the Europe All-Star Game Nov. 14. Playing with former competition, and often playing against former team-mates, each athlete had to band together to work as one unit. The 64 athletes were split into Team Honor and Team Glory, many looking at the end of their high school football career. The game brought stiff competition with team Glory leading the game into the first half. U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach’s Bailey Ward connected with teammate Karrington Evans for a touchdown, and Ryan Rimmler kicking two field goals. U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s own Keyshaun Green ran for team Glory, gaining a lot of yards which led to his team’s 20-14 victory over Team Honor. Many players mentioned that it took some getting used to, playing with former division foes throughout the season, but they said were able to come together as a team and not as individual players. (Editor’s note: Jacqueline Workman is a student at Wiesbaden High School and career practicum student in the Public Affairs Office).

For your health
Practice food safety during the holidays
Photo by Brent Hofacker / Shutterstock.com
By David Kloberdanz Army Public Health Center (Provisional)
As the holiday season quickly approaches, many of us are looking to spend some quality time with family and friends. Nothing draws us closer together than enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal with the ones we love, but things can take a turn for the worse if food safety is not kept in mind. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that approximately 48 million people get sick from foodborne illness each year. Of those that contract a foodborne illness, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die. The following are a few food safety tips to keep you, your families and your friends healthy during the holidays. Foods most commonly associated with foodborne illnesses are raw foods of animal origin; that is raw meat and poultry, raw eggs, unpasteurized milk and raw shellfish. Adequate cooking will kill most bacteria and their toxins. Fruits and vegetables consumed raw are also a particular concern. Washing can decrease but not eliminate contamination, so cooking to proper time and temperature is vital. Also, unpasteurized fruit juices can be contaminated if there are pathogens in or on the fruit that is used to make it. The best bet is to only drink pasteurized juices. One of the biggest pitfalls many make when cooking for the holidays is they do not plan ahead. Make a list of all the foods that you will need to prepare your meals and know which foods need to be refrigerated or kept warm. Keep in mind which foods have short shelf lives to ensure you are using them before spoilage occurs. Know how long each food takes to thaw, prepare and cook to avoid time or temperature abuse. Do not combine shopping for your foods with holiday gift shopping. If you must combine meal shopping with holiday shopping, bring along a cooler

and ice to keep foods cold as you check off items on your gift lists. Sanitize food contact surfaces — Wash counters, cutting boards, utensils and any other surface that will come in contact with food. Ensure you are using warm soapy water. After washing, wipe or spray with a bleach solution and allow to air dry. To get the proper concentration of bleach, add 1/2 tablespoon bleach to one gallon of water. Always allow food contact surfaces to air dry instead of wiping dry. Immediately clean up spilled foods. When serving foods, always use a clean plate and separate serving utensils for each food item. Practice good personal hygiene — Wash your hands with soap and water before handling food. Wash hands with soap and water when switching foods during preparation. Wash your hands after smoking, eating, touching any part of the body, taking out the trash, playing with pets or taking breaks. Wash your hands after every chance of contamination. It is especially important to wash your hands after using the bathroom, assisting children in the bathroom or changing diapers. Use water as hot as you can comfortably tolerate and sing the Happy Birthday song to yourself in your head while washing. This will ensure you are washing long enough - 20 seconds. It is best to use disposable paper towels to dry your hands and throw them away after each use. Sneeze/cough into the crook of your arm and always away from food or other people. Bandage any cuts on your hands. Do your best to keep hair out of foods by wearing hats or tying up long hair. Keep fingernails neatly trimmed and clean. Cook — Cook foods to the proper internal temperature. Always use a calibrated metal stem thermometer to check temperatures and measure at the thickest part of the food. Ground meat should look brownish when cooked to 160 F. Poultry can
appear light or dark and should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F. Fish should look milky and flake easily with a fork when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F. Cook turkey, stuffing, casseroles and leftovers to 165 F; beef, veal and lamb roasts to 145 F; "fully cooked" ham to 140 F and fresh ham, pork and egg dishes to 160 F. Keep hot foods hot. Cook plant foods to 135 F. Maintain a minimum internal food temperature of 135 F while serving to guests. Cool — Cool all cooked foods down to 70 F within two hours and then down to 41 F within an additional four hours if not using immediately. This can be accomplished if you cool big pots of soup and stews by pouring them into smaller containers before placing into the refrigerator, using ice as an ingredient or by stirring the food in a container placed in an ice water bath. Keep cold foods cold. Maintain internal food temperatures below 41 F when serving to guests and storing. Do not thaw foods at room temperature and never rush the thawing process. Instead, thaw foods in a refrigerator that maintains an internal temperature of 41 F or below, or you can thaw foods as a part of the cooking process. Cross-contamination — Separate food by product when purchasing, storing, preparing and serving. Separate stored raw foods from cooked foods and ready to eat foods. Use separate utensils, cutting boards, pots and pans for each food item you are preparing and serving. As hard as it might be, keep guests out of the kitchen to avoid the temptation of tasting foods as they are being prepared. Provide a serving utensil for all foods served to prevent germs on hands from spreading. The holiday season is a very special time to spend with family and friends. There will be lots of preparation for big meals and shared bounty, so following these food safety precautions can assure wonderful gatherings and memories in your home.

Sicario — In the lawless border area stretching between the U.S. and Mexico, an idealistic FBI agent is exposed to the brutal world of international drug trafficking by members of a government task force who have enlisted her in their plan to take out a Mexican cartel boss.. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 — With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow in the final showdown.Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale, Finnick, and Peeta – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.

Still, there’s no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed’s legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa.

Agreeing to take him on, Rocky trains the young fighter, even as the former champ is battling an opponent more deadly than any he faced in the ring. With Rocky in his corner, it isn’t long before Adonis gets his own shot at the title...but can he develop not only the drive but also the heart of a true fighter, in time to get into the ring? The Good Dinosaur — The movie asks the generations-old question: What if the cataclysmic asteroid that forever changed life on Earth actually missed the planet completely and giant dinosaurs never became extinct? In theaters May 30, 2014, the film is a humorous and exciting original story about Arlo, a lively 70-foot-tall teenage Apatosaurus with a big heart. After a traumatic event rattles Arlo’s tranquil commu-
