Making a difference

Community members support Holiday Food Bank drive

By Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Wiesbaden military community members were definitely in the holiday spirit Oct. 25 as they gave generously during Make a Difference Day. Organized by Army Community Service’s Earl McFarland, the holiday food drive outside the Wiesbaden Commissary gathered supplies for ACS’s new Holiday Food Bank, which opened Nov. 3.

“This year we decided to have a community food bank,” McFarland said, thanking the volunteers who supported the event and community members for helping stock the shelves of the food bank. “We’ve been getting a lot of donations.”

Lana Lanell and Abi Heiges, Scouts with Brownie Troop 86, made sure commissary patrons were informed about the drive, handing out lists of items needed.

“We like to donate stuff to people who don’t have

it,” said Lanell.

Members of 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, were also hand to help make a difference.

“We’re trying to get people in our unit involved in the local community — whether it’s on post or out on the local economy,” said Capt. Sean Clement, 1-214th Aviation. “A couple of my Soldiers came with me today to see what we could do to help.”

Clement added that volunteering to help in the community is part of living up to the unit’s motto — “Never Satisfied.”

After several hours the hard-working volunteers carted away several car loads of packaged goods, cans and other items.

McFarland said people still interested in making donations can bring non-expired items to ACS anytime during normal hours of operation. Those needing food items are also welcome to stop by to pick what they need, he said.

Ask the commander . . . . . . . . . . . .

Continued from page 2 completed, planners went back and looked at ways to accommodate bikes through the ACP without using the traffic lanes. The walkways were widened within the ACP to make a legal bike/walking path (minimum of two meters) through the entire ACP past the pedestrian checkpoint at the visitor’s center. Therefore, bikes will not need to use the auto lanes at any point in the ACP. The work is being done now. The route leading to the ACP is more challenging. Members of the Transformation and Stationing Management Office are working with the German highway authorities to find options to provide dedicated bicycle lanes. There is also a bike path that is connected to the new ACP, but it is in very poor condition and is currently closed while ESWE heating line construction is in progress. New recommendations for short- and long-term solutions for improved bike access to the installation will be presented in the near future.

Fall Bazaar, Zombie Run

Several people sent ICE comments about the Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation Fall

Bazaar held on Clay Kaserne Oct. 17-19: “The set-up and the variety of vendors at the bazaar were excellent. Best spacing I’ve ever seen at a bazaar — especially for parents with strollers and children.” “Wonderful customer service from all the vendors and accounting staff. You guys did a great job. Thanks for organizing and your patience in processing my purchases.” “Thanks for a wonderful bazaar.” “Once again the FMWR Fitness Team did a great job in this weekend’s Zombie Run. Great idea, great layout, well organized.

This has become a wonderful family fitness event that we look forward to every month. Keep up the good work.”

Response: Thanks, everyone, for letting us and our FMWR crews know that their efforts are valued and appreciated. It’s great to see so many Wiesbaden military community members participating in events such as the recent Fall Bazaar and five-kilometer run series. I look forward to welcoming you to the upcoming community-wide holiday events such as the Turkey Trot on Nov. 15 and the Holiday Tree Lighting on Dec. 5.

Keeping community informed Army health officials raise awareness of Ebola response

By Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden

Rest assured: U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden is prepared to treat any potential Ebola cases, said Lt. Col. LaShanda Cobbs, Wiesbaden Health Clinic commander.

Cobbs conducted the first of several medical informational briefings focused on informing the community about the clinic’s proactive approach to heading off the Ebola virus Oct. 30 at the Tony Bass Auditorium.

“When it comes to being ready, we are not sitting back and waiting,” she said. “We have comprehensive plans, processes and resources available to appropriately care for patients with any infectious disease such as Ebola and continually reassess requirements as the situation develops to make sure we remain ready. Our main objective is to sustain the health and safety of the populace, both internal and external to our facility.”

Maj. Catharina Lindsey, chief of public health nursing, emphasized that her team is available to brief units and community groups on Ebola readiness at their request. The clinic also conducted a mandatory Army-wide exercise Oct. 23 simulating the intake and treatment of a possible Ebola victim — called “Code Purple” — and is working closely with Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, U.S. Army Medical Command, the U.S. Army Europe Command Surgeon and host nation partners, such as the Frankfurt hospital and fire department, which have “excellent quality of care and a high degree of expertise.”

The clinic also conducted a “train the trainer” exercise Oct. 26 on how to put on and remove personal protective equipment, which is continuing to evolve per

Lt. Col. LaShanda Cobbs, Wiesbaden Health Clinic commander, speaks during a medical awareness briefing held Oct. 30 to inform the community on U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s efforts to stay prepared for an Ebola incident.

the Centers for Disease Control’s guidance, said Cobbs.

“Our main message today is that even though Ebola is hard to fight, we have the resources to fight it,” said Lindsey. She reiterated some key facts for the community: Ebola is preventable, it is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids and has a 21-day incubation period. After 21 days, if an exposed person does not develop symptoms, he or she will not become sick with Ebola. The virus is only contagious when a victim is showing symptoms.

It is not spread through drinking water or through food from inspected sources such as the Commissary and German grocery stores. (The only suspected source of food transmission of Ebola is bush meat in West African countries.) It is not spread through being bitten by insects such as mosquitoes and it is not known to be transmittable through pets.

Early supportive care is key to survival, as evidenced by several patients who have made full recoveries, Lindsey said.

Symptoms of Ebola typically include fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain and a lack of appetite. Some people may also experience rash, red eyes, hiccups, cough, sore throat, chest pain, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and bleeding inside and outside of their body. Symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to the Ebola virus, though eight to 10 days is most common.

Briefing attendees expressed concern about the controlled monitoring measures for Soldiers and Army civilians supporting Operation United Assistance in western Africa. (Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Oct. 30 that all Soldiers returning from western Africa would be placed in mandatory 21-day isolated monitoring.) The Army mission includes construction of medical facilities, logistics, such as transporting supplies and equipment to health care workers, and training for local health care workers.

U.S. military personnel will not be providing direct medical care to Ebola patients.

Units will conduct medical threat briefs before deployment, will take their temperature twice daily during deployment and will be monitored for 21 days after deployment in an Ebola-free environment — not to be released until they are examined and cleared. Army Public Health Nursing will coordinate or provide monitoring to any member of the community, including civilians, who have had potential exposure to Ebola.

“He [Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno] has done this out of caution to ensure Soldiers, family members and their surrounding communities are confident that we are taking all steps necessary to protect their health,” said Defense Department spokesman Mark Wright in a written statement dated Oct. 27.

If you or someone you know exhibits the early symptoms of Ebola and there is reason to believe that Ebola should be considered, contact the Ebola Hotline at mil 590-6925 or civ (06371) 9464-6925. To schedule an Ebola briefing for your unit or community group, contact Maj. Lindsey at catharina.r.lindsey.mil@ mail.mil. The Centers for Disease Control website has up-to-date information on Ebola at http://www. cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/index.html.

WWII vets focus of Retiree Appreciation Day

By Sgt. Daniel Cole

U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Office

U.S. Army Europe took time Oct. 25 to thank military retirees for their dedication and sacrifices to the nation.

With a special focus on World War II veterans, this year’s Military Retiree Appreciation Day included nine WWII vets who came with their families for a day of festivities, war stories and to enjoy a host of personnel and medical services.

“This day has been prepared with you in mind, so please take advantage of each and every opportunity to take care of you and your spouse,” said Col. Mary Martin, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander.

“We are here to support you, so let us know if there is anything you need so we can make that happen.

“Thank you for your sacrifice — we honor your service to our nation, and we are proud to have you in our community,” Martin said.

“I can assure you that we are going to continue to take good care of you,” said Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr., USAREUR commander. “I hope that the information briefing that you will see today is valuable.”

Brig. Gen. Norvell V. Coots, Europe Regional Medical Command commander, spoke about health service changes planned for the future and also about taking active steps toward a healthy lifestyle.

Ngozi Otuonye of the Wiesbaden Dental Clinic examine Paul Guelle’s teeth during Retiree Appreciation Day Oct. 25.

“Think about your health and take an active role by making daily choices regarding nutrition, activity levels and sleep patterns, and together we can increase our health,” Coots said.

Retired Col. Robert A. Mentell, president of the Army in Europe Retiree Council, highlighted the accomplishments of the World War II veterans present.

“The men we honor today returned from a great and terrible war and served their nation and their communities in a multitude of ways and are remaining examples for follow-

on generations to emulate,” Mentell said.

After the ceremony, retirees were welcomed to visit various support services provided by agencies and offices around the European garrisons. Some of the agencies that participated in this year’s appreciation day included the Wiesbaden Wellness Center, Army Community Service, the Wiesbaden Health and Dental Clinics, and the Red Cross to name a few. Attendees also had an opportunity to get their annual influenza vaccination.

“We are here to support the Retiree Appreciation Day because they have worked hard for their country, and we want to let them know what benefits they have,” said Andrew Munsterman, Wiesbaden Wellness Center director.

Munsterman added that after retirement, statistically, many service members increase their risk for developing health issues such as hypertension, higher cholesterol levels and obesity.

IMCOM revises overseas tour policy

By Amanda Kraus Rodriguez U.S. Army Installation Management Command

A new U.S. Army Installation Management Command policy, published Oct. 28, will open development doors to its general schedule employees in grades nine and above by reducing a backlog of employees past their five-year overseas tour rotations and placing them in stateside positions to create a leadership development cycle.

The IMCOM Enhanced Placement Program Policy 690-15, which goes into effect Nov. 3, uses the Priority Placement Program mechanism to rotate overseas civilians past their five year tour into positions stateside, opening overseas tour development positions to others.

The policy’s outcome equates to growth, development and advancement opportunities that shape IMCOM

“This initiative supports the Department of Defense five-year tour limitation policy by enhancing placement opportunities of IMCOM overseas talent who have been extended beyond five years,” Perkins said.

“It provides placement assistance to positions back in the continental United States,” she said. “As part of this strategy, the overseas vacancies created by the program will open up additional opportunities for our CONUS employees who wish to obtain experience in the overseas environment. This facilitated

The presence of a Soldier for Life Center is becoming a standard throughout Army communities worldwide, and while they may not have the same look, the offerings should be the same regard-

Martin said Clay Kaserne was chosen because it houses the majority of Soldier service agencies such as Military Personnel Division, Transition Assistance Program, Transition Center, ID Cards, Passports, Retirement Services and the Wiesbaden Education Center.

“The Transition Soldier Life Cycle further demonstrates the Army’s commitment to supporting Soldiers in all stages of their military career,” said Martin. “Synchronizing the efforts of Soldiers for Life-related services furthers our goal of allowing ‘Soldiers to

Making Clay accessible to disabled Command active in supporting employees with special needs Story and photo by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

U.S. Army Europe and Installation Management Command-Europe leaders have been proactive in making Clay Kaserne facilities accessible to people with disabilities, according to Erni Moya, USAREUR Equal Employment Opportunity officer.

“The command has been very supportive in making sure people with disabilities have not only access to meaningful employment opportunities but also to the benefits and privileges of employment,” Moya said. “The leadership throughout USAREUR and IMCOM are active supporters of the Program for

This has included everything from installing hand rails and ramps throughout the installation to increasing accessible parking and pursuing/advancing the future construction of a new elevator which will serve

50 Years in business

both the Gen. Shalikashvili Mission Command Center and the new Consolidated Intelligence Center.

“One of the biggest concerns around Clay Kaserne is parking,” she said, explaining that even with adequate and available parking in the garages, being so far away from one’s workplace can be a major barrier for those with disabilities. A survey indentified handicap parking requirements that are now under review by USAREUR command to ensure accommodation needs are being met.

“An important aspect of the Program for Individuals with Disabilities is providing reasonable accommodations as needed. Reasonable accommodation is any change in the workplace or the way things are customarily done that provides an equal employment opportunity to an individual with a

disability,” said Moya, adding that this can cover most things that help a person in applying for work, having equal access to the workplace and being able to use employee facilities, parking lots and participating in office activities.

There are a host of other government-wide initiatives aimed at recruiting, retaining and promoting people with disabilities and wounded service members, Moya said. One of these is the centrally funded DoD Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program, known as CAP. Through CAP, individuals can acquire assistive devices/services and electronic and information technology needed to more effectively perform their jobs. “CAP helps us in USAREUR fulfill our mission in providing real solutions for real needs and helps make us the model employer for people

with disabilities.”

David Fulton, chief of the Relocation Task Force, said not only has the addition of hand rails made this a safer work environment, additional handicap parking spaces and other reasonable accommodations, to include the installation of elevators at key locations around Clay Kaserne in the Wiesbaden Health Clinic, parking garage, fitness center, Mission Command Center and Andrews Federal Credit Union, are a significant benefit to the workforce.

For more information about any of the various programs available to support people with disabilities, wounded warriors and workers with temporary or permanent medical impairments, contact the garrison EEO Office at mil 548-2201 or the USAREUR EEO officer at mil 537-1031.

Fighting the bad guys in cyberspace Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky Labs and Russian cybersecurity specialist of Kaspersky Antivirus fame, visited with Wiesbaden High School students after speaking at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association conference Oct. 17. He offered tips on pursuing a career in cybersecurity: Take five to 10 years to become experts and learn as much as you can about programming. “If you are thinking about your way in this life, it’s a good idea,” he said. “It’s a very interesting job fighting the bad guys in cyberspace.”

Teacher tour . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Continued from page 1 from a vehicle that has rolled over.

Wiesbaden Middle School Principal Dr. Susan Hargis expressed concern about the safety of the training after a Soldier emerged from the vehicle flushed.

“Your little face is all red and you look like you could be my son,” she said. “Is this training dangerous? How many times can you do that until you get hurt?”

“This is very good training, ma’am,” he responded.

“It builds confidence in Soldiers to rely on safety equipment. It saves lives and it saves equipment.”

“Just know that we worry about y’all,” she replied.

During the airfield visit, educators witnessed a distinguished visitor take off in one of the Blackhawk helicopters and climbed aboard a similar aircraft.

“I thought it was a pretty neat visit,” said Tom Davis, sixth-grade world history teacher. “I didn’t think we’d get to practice shooting the same weapons

as Soldiers. It was great to see the safety exercises, because that can be very frightening.”

For the three German school principals who had never set foot on an Army garrison, let alone shoot an M-16, the tour was eye-opening.

“I was very impressed by your garrison commander,” said Frank Wollstein, principal of Abendgymnasium and Hessenkolleg Wiesbaden and former Bundeswehr Soldier. “That she addressed the teachers in this way — a German colonel would never do this.

You feel her authority but nevertheless she is very easygoing.”

It’s like a military garrison plus a normal town, he added.

DoDDS teachers can work at an overseas school indefinitely, while principals typically serve six years.

“The orientation is a great reminder to our educators of why are we here and why are they here — to support the troops and educate future leaders,” Witmer said.

Warriors wrap up fall season

Weekend sees Wiesbaden volleyball team crowned champion If the fall season is any indication of things to come, Wiesbaden High School is looking forward to a compelling sports year.

This weekend saw Wiesbaden Warriors capture the Division 1 volleyball championship with a win against Naples. The championship win followed an undefeated season.

Golf, tennis, cross country

The weekend capped impressive outings by the school’s tennis, cross country and golf teams in the previous weeks and a shot at the Division 1 football crown in the championship game against Ramstein Nov. 1.

While the Warriors looked like a sure thing going

into the championship game against Ramstein after having beaten them in overtime earlier in the season and remaining undefeated through the regular season, the final went nothing like expected. The Royals dominated the Warriors, shutting down their offense and winning 17-0.

But it was still a remarkable run for last year’s champions, and only a slight bump in the road to victory for fellow Warrior athletes.

Friendship has its kicks Story and photos by Chrystal Smith

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Many lifelong friendships begin on the playground. And over time the strength of those unions is thoroughly tested in such arenas.

In that same regard, the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden and its host city Wiesbaden used the Igstadt Sport Club’s pitch as a playground to prove its long-standing relationship Oct. 21 for a soccer match.

The USAG Wiesbaden community team and players of the host city literally weathered the evening’s storm of winds and cold rain, and swapped the Army combat uniforms and business apparel for soccer uniforms, shin guards and cleats to celebrate the friendship that goes back as far as World War II. Wiesbaden Lord Mayor Sven Gerich extended a hearty welcome to the teams and guests as the teams were set to take part in the tradition that began in the spring of 2010.

“I know the history (the city has dominated the annual matches going into this year’s match 3-1); you’ve been five years winning and we’ve been five years having fun,” said Col. Mary Martin, USAG Wiesbaden commander, jokingly, while making remarks before the game and adding that the wind and rain and colder temperatures is “good football weather” in America. “So today, may the best team have fun.”

While many of the players on each roster change from year-to year, a few players have taken

For your health Ready and Resilient ... Ready and Resilient

Building Resiliency with the ATC Model

By Thomas Blakely

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Ready and Resilient Director

Being resilient is difficult if one lacks self-awareness.

Understanding how emotions affect reactions will give one much better control over one’s actions, especially in stressful situations. A tool to help achieve this level of self-awareness and ultimate control over reactions lies in the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness ATC Model — Activating event, Thoughts and Consequence.

ATC is the framework for understanding how an individual’s thoughts impact actions.

A stressful situation begins with an activating event. This can be something simple like getting a parking ticket or something more complex like a broken water pipe at home that causes damage. The activating event can even be

a positive event.

It is the “who, what, when and where” of a situation. When viewing an activating event, it is important to separate it from the emotions that this event evokes. Focus on just the facts.

The thoughts, on the other hand, are the emotions that the activating event causes. One may be upset at receiving a parking ticket, for example. This is the heat of the moment emotion.

The last step in this process involves the consequences, or the reactions.

What actions were taken as a result of the thoughts generated by the event; perhaps yelling in frustration at the

police officer who issued the ticket.

Reactions are not only what one does, but also what one doesn’t do. For example, if faced with a stressful situation a reaction may be to retreat as opposed to taking action.

Of the three steps in this process, it is the thoughts which are the most controllable, as we often have little control over the activating event. In order to separate thoughts from actions, try a simple exercise.

Write down a stressful event experienced this week; remember to stick to the facts (who, what, when and where). Now write down the emotions that immediately followed this event.

What feelings were experienced in the heat of the moment? Write down the actions taken. Performing this exercise more often will reveal patterns between emotions and reactions. In addition, this process is cyclic as thoughts will lead to consequences, which in turn reinforce

one’s thoughts. If these thoughts are counterproductive, an individual will become stuck in a cycle.

Understanding the patterns between one’s thoughts and one’s consequences or reactions will lead to gaining the ability to control such emotions. Also, one will find that overly rigid patterns hinder resiliency.

Having a better understanding of thoughts and building self-awareness enhance the ability to control reactions.

This self-awareness, understanding and control will yield greater resiliency in the face of stressful situations.

To learn more about the ATC Model or any of the CSF2 training, contact the unit’s Master Resilience Trainer. Civilians and family members can contact Army Community Service for resiliency training. (Editor’s note: This article is the third in a series that focuses on the various components of the CSF2 resiliency program.)

Learning how to select proper hearing protection Hazardous noise comes in many forms, from continuous noise such as generators or vehicles, to impulse noise such as weapons fire or explosions.

Failure to wear hearing protection can result in hearing loss, difficulty understanding speech (especially with background noise) and tinnitus. Hearing damage is more severe when the number of exposures to such noise or the exposure duration increases. Hazardous noise is also found in many everyday experiences, such as operating a lawn mower or using a vacuum cleaner.

Selecting appropriate hearing protection can be a daunting task with so many different kinds and models available. You obviously want something that protects you, is comfortable, easy to use and fits well. You don't want it to interfere with face-to-face or radio communications. Unfortunately, there is no perfect hearing protector that does it all, but tips are available for selecting appropriate hearing protection.

Just about every protector provides significant noise at-

Page 14

tenuation (or protection). All point-of-sale packaging contains a Noise Reduction Rating, called the NRR that describes in a single number how much attenuation is provided. A higher NRR number indicates more attenuation. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health provides a searchable compendium listing performance of many hearing protectors.

Users will achieve the listed NRR only when the device is worn correctly and fits properly.

Follow manufacturer's fitting instructions carefully. Difficult to fit hearing protectors may be uncomfortable and, therefore, not worn. Appropriate protection selection is a balance between getting the performance while retaining qualities like comfort.

The amount of attenuation provided by a hearing protector should closely match the required protection needed. For most noise exposures, such as lawn or shop tools, passive earplugs or earmuffs should work well; the latter are easier to fit and will provide more reliable

protection. Be cautious when using devices that provide much more protection than is needed, as speech and other warning sounds may be difficult to hear or understand. A hearing health professional, such as an audiologist, can help you understand how much protection is needed.

If you want to be able to hear everything that's happening around you all the time while remaining protected from sudden loud sounds (for example, when visiting a shooting range), the best hearing protection is probably something more specialized, like a level dependent device. Examples include earplugs that have a mechanical filter inside that prevent loud sounds from getting to the eardrum while allowing softer sounds to pass through, or devices that instantly cut off loud sounds electronically. Expect to pay more for the electronic products.

The conclusion from all this is that the best protection is the Failure to wear proper hearing protection and repeated one that meets your situational exposure to loud noise increase the risk of hearing loss. needs, fits well and is comfort- tion requirements, but isn't com- available.

Window on the world

Something for everyone at Hessen Landesmuseum in Darmstadt Story and photos by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

O

ur world is shaped by the things we are exposed to — especially at an early, impressionable age.

As youngsters, visits to the zoo, American battlefields and places far and wide help create vivid images that live long in our memories and fuel our future pursuits. Likewise, museums offer us windows into the world far from our daily experiences — cultural, scientific and natural worlds within worlds.

While there are plenty of more extensive museums around the globe, full of the world’s treasures and marvels, the Hessen Landesmuseum in Darmstadt is a great collection of all things to consider, offering something for nearly every interest. Natural history, art from throughout the ages, handicrafts, historical relics, musical instruments and any number of other objects created, uncovered or shared by humankind are on display in the lofty exhibition halls of the Hessen showcase.

The museum, which reopened in September following a massive €8 million, seven-year renovation project, is situated on several floors, in a host of expansive rooms connected by stone passageways and lofty staircases.

After climbing the stone steps to pass by the sculpted pair of lions (the symbol of Hesse) guarding the museum entrance, visitors young and old are invited to travel back in time — to the beginnings of life on earth.

Fossils from the nearby world heritage site, Messel Pit; an awe-inspiring skeleton of a North American mastodon; and a collection of humankind’s ancestors wait to provide insight into the archaeological, geological and zoological evolution of Mother Earth. Cases full of dazzling colorful butterflies and beetles, giant crabs, the last wolf shot in Hessen and other creatures large and small rest behind exhibition glass. One can only wonder at the numerous life forms that once inhabited the planet after gazing at an elephant bird’s egg — the contents of which equaled 150 chicken eggs — a bird that once walked among humans on the island of Madagascar and was purported to weigh up to 400 kilos before being driven to extinction in

the 17th century.

A collection of dioramas, first introduced to the public in 1906, is sure to dazzle younger visitors. Each of the large displays, featuring 1,000s of animal species, showcase different global landscapes ranging from the Arctic to the Rain Forest. Visitors young and old will also appreciate the Egyptian artifacts, including a female mummy from 332 B.C. While wandering from room to room, one is constantly startled to discover unique aspects of life on planet Earth — a stone bust of Medusa from the second century found at a gravesite in nearby Dieburg and a roomful of large, cork models depicting notable structures from antiquity, including the Roman Colosseum begun by

Emperor Vespasian in 72 A.D. that could accommodate 50,000 spectators and where historians estimate nearly half a million people and many more animals met their demise for the amusement of a Roman public.

Pottery, porcelain, Art Nouveau keepsakes and a host of other tools, ornaments, furniture and objects created by artists and artisans through the centuries are also on display.

Among those are paintings by the likes of Peter Paul Rubens and Andy Warhol, sculptures by Henry Moore and Alberto Giacometti, and various glass cases and rooms full of partially decaying food, felt and other oddly selected debris that served as the inspirational mortar for one of Germany’s most famous 20th century

The museum, located between the Herrengarten park and the Schloss in the center of Darmstadt (at Friedenplatz 1, 64283 Darmstadt) is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays and German holidays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is €6 for adults and free for children up to age 18.

“We just spent over €110,000 on two new dance studios,” said Steven Hall, director of Wiesbaden’s School of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills Unlimited Program.

The dance studios, located in Hainerberg Housing and on Clay Kaserne, are part of an overall effort to provide enhanced facilities throughout the community for youths enrolled in the various SKIES programs. While youngsters are already enjoying the first-class dance floor and other features in the Clay facility, the Hainerberg studio — located by the Army Community Service Cafeteria and including a dressing room, waiting

room and observation window for parents and other features — should be completed by Dec. 1, Hall said.

“We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our facilities and programs,” said Hall, explaining that since he took over the program in 2013 the program has expanded from two permanent locations to a host of dance studios, piano rooms, dedicated gymnastic space and more. “We now have four permanent locations for dance. … We’ve quadrupled in size and locations.”

The SKIES director said there are about 450 youths currently enrolled in SKIES programs, and he expects more youths to participate in the future. “I think we’re seeing greater participation thanks to the investment in the programs and facilities — and having new programs such as gymnastics.

“We’re always getting ideas for new programs. Part of the challenge

is having the space and resources,” he said, explaining that people interested in teaching programs are always welcome to contact him to discuss possible interest in the community.

Youths can register to take part in ongoing SKIES programs throughout the year. “This year we’ve had gymnastics, swimming, martial arts and tennis. We still have plans for soccer and horseback riding,” Hall said.

“I think arts for the children are very important,” said jazz and hip-hop dance instructor Veronica Miller. “Arts are needed to help keep them more balanced … and they’re fun.”

Besides learning a new skill and having an opportunity to grow, youths also learn to be more open and outgoing, Miller said. “Sometimes the older ones come in a little shy and then they lose their hangups. They quickly jump in and have a good time.”

“We always try to be less expensive than what’s available on the economy,” Hall added, saying that SKIES programs offer youths a “close-to-home” opportunity for learning and enjoyment. “My goal is to provide a quality program comparable to, if not better than, what’s available in the United States.”

For more information about any of the SKIES Unlimited classes and programs call SKIES Unlimited, located in Building 1213 Annex on Clay Kaserne, at civ (0611) 143548-9359.
