DoDDS educators get a taste of military life Story and photos

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

David Craig, a math and physics teacher at Wiesbaden High School, was glad to tour Clay Kaserne for several reasons.

The foremost was that he got to see a Blackhawk

helicopter up close.

He and his students were building helicopter models to study how they work, and seeing the helicopter up close would help him explain their dynamics better.

Chief explains process for obtaining housing

By Wendy Brown

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Hundreds of people are moving into U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden from the Heidelberg and Mannheim garrisons. Recently the Housing Office saw 136 customers in one day who required on-post housing services, and more than 50 who required off-post housing services, said Don Meyer, chief of housing for U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden.

In order to inform people about the housing situation, Meyer addressed the following series of questions.

Why is there vacant housing in U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden when so many people need housing?

When people drive through our housing areas it appears that there is plenty of vacant housing available for immediate assignment; however, this is not the case.

Some of our housing is vacant because we are getting it ready for a major construction projects. There are several buildings that we are getting ready for construction projects in Aukamm Housing, for instance. Construction crews will do a complete renovation of 11 buildings installing new kitchens, flooring, lighting and bathrooms.

All 11 building must be emptied and turned over to the contractor at the start of the project. Therefore, those units not currently being worked on appear to be vacant See Housing on page 6

What is the process for a lost and found?

Response: Melinda, thanks to you and your son for being good citizens. Please take it to the Military Police Station on Clay Kaserne where it will be inventoried and held for return to the rightful owner. The MP Station is located just inside the Main Gate on Clay Kaserne.

Carson Hamrick Family member, age 9 “You should turn off the lights when you leave the room. Also turn off the water.”

Donald S. commented: I wanted to compliment the garrison for the outstanding and informative event held Sept.

Security concerns

P.G. commented: I am fully aware this subject has been discussed before, but I feel I have to address it again. I have been sending my children off to school with a very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach lately. Looking at the things that are going on in the world right now, I am surely not the only one who feels that way. The gates to my housing area are open, everybody is able to walk or drive in at any time. The main street is like a race track, with German cars flying through, but that seems to be a small problem

compared to the main issue there is with these open gates. In times like these, where Americans are targeted more than ever all over the world, I think it is irresponsible and frustrating for the residents here to live in a housing area that is so accessible for everybody. I understand there are issues with the city of Wiesbaden regarding the roads going through Aukamm, but as a spouse whose husband is deployed to Afghanistan I should be able to feel the Army makes it a priority that families feel safe and protected as well as possible. I cannot feel safe if my only protection is by MPs and Polizei driving through the housing areas every once in a while.

Response: P.G. I can assure you that we take your concerns very seriously and have continued to work very closely with the host nation to do everything we can to ensure the safety of all members of the Wiesbaden community — Germans and Americans. Statistics show that the rate of crime in our housing areas, whether gated or not, is no higher than the surrounding German neighborhoods and is in fact considerably lower than many areas in the United States. As always I can’t stress enough that while our U.S. military and host nation law enforcement personnel do an admirable job of watching out for our service members and families — and responding when needed — we rely on the active participation of those who live and work in the Wiesbaden military community to keep a watchful eye and to report anything out of the ordinary. I would ask that if you, or any of your neighbors, see anything suspicious to report it immediately to the Military Police at mil 337-5096/5097 or civ (0611) 5096/5097.

Herald Union correction

Reader Ralph Koch pointed out that in the Aug. 30 edition of the Herald Union in an article about Medal of Honor recipient Spc. Ross A. McGinnis his unit was incorrectly listed as falling under the 2nd Infantry Division. McGinnis, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Iraq and was recognized with a street in his honor in Wiesbaden’s new Newman Village, was actually assigned to Company C, 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 2nd (Dagger) Brigade, 1st Infantry Division.

Wiesbaden celebrates Hispanic heritage

By Wendy Brown

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

The most recent Hispanic recipient of the Medal of Honor is Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Petry, who received the medal from President Barack Obama last year.

Petry lost his hand in Afghanistan while saving others from a grenade, and when he received the medal, he became a part of a proud tradition of Hispanics in the U.S. Army.

In proportion to the number of people who serve, Hispanics are the largest single ethnic group in to earn the Medal of Honor, said Lt. Col Michael Cardenas during the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Hispanic American Heritage Month celebration Sept. 24 at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center.

Cardenas, commander of the 2nd Military Intelligence Battalion, said 44 Hispanic men have earned the honor, and 21 gave their lives in the process.

Cardenas was the guest speaker during the event, which also included music by the Borin Kuba Band, a dance performance by Jesus Basail and Sunny Saylan and a lunch of Hispanic food. Members of the 5th Signal Command hosted the celebration.

The U.S. Army is stronger because of Hispanic contributions that date back to the Revolutionary War, Cardenas said, and many Hispanics have reached the highest rungs of military leadership positions.

For example, Gen. Richard Cavazos served with great

Guest speaker Lt. Col. Michael Cardenas, commander of the 2nd Military Intelligence Battalion in Wiesbaden, speaks about hispanic heritage from the podium during a Hispanic American Heritage Month celebration Sept. 24 at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center. Many hispanic values dovetail with military values, Cardenas said, and that has led to the success of many people of hispanic heritage in the military. Photo right: Jesus Basail dances with Sunny Saylan to music from the Borin Kuba Band during the event. distinction for 33 years and received two Distinguished Service Crosses, among many other awards, Cardenas said.

Hispanic values go handin-hand with military values, Cardenas said.

“The values, traditions and hard work ethic that I learned being raised in a Hispanic family are some of the principle values that drew me to join the military,” Cardenas said.

Cardenas grew up in Westlaco, Texas, which is five miles from the Mexican border.

His parents, from Mexico, both worked to put themselves through college while raising a

family, Cardenas said. Their example taught him and his three brothers the importance of hard work.

Growing up near their grandparents, nine aunts and uncles and 25 cousins, they also learned the importance of family, Cardenas said.

“As part of my Hispanic upbringing we took every opportunity to celebrate as a family,” Cardenas said. “On any special occasion, be it a birthday, an anniversary, any significant U.S. holiday, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and the 4th of July.”

The Army is like a family as well, Cardenas said. “No matter where you end up in the Army, you always feel like you are part of a family and a team,” he said.

Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, said he appreciates the contributions members of the Hispanic community have made to the Army.

“Our guest speaker is just one reminder of what the Hispanic community does for us every day, not only here in Wiesbaden, but across the Army,” Carstens said.

Brig. Gen. Bruce Crawford, 5th Signal commander, said he

was glad to have the opportunity to attend the event and celebrate America’s diversity.

Staff Sgt. Charles Kistler’s singing of the words “the home of the free and the home of the brave” during the U.S. national anthem at the event’s start gave him goose bumps, Crawford said.

“Without recognition and without the need, the urge, the desire to celebrate our diversity, and what these different cultures bring to us as a people, there is no home of the free, and I can tell you there is no real home of the brave,” Crawford said during his remarks.

Housing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Continued from page 1 and ready for assignments.

We also have a demolition project scheduled for 10 buildings in Hainerberg. The demolitions will make room for the new Access Control Point once Hainerberg is made a closed post and a new middle school. In order to save money we are vacating the remaining buildings for these projects by attrition as service members PCS; however, this action will be complete in the next couple of months.

People will also see a few buildings in Crestview Housing vacant because we are getting ready to turn them over to the host nation. In fact, eight buildings on Neptune Strasse and Bierstadter Höhe were returned to the host nation on Sept. 28, 2012. The buildings have been vacant for eight years and are outside the perimeter fencing established for Crestview and it made no sense to extend the fence.

In Newman Village, there is also housing that is vacant. We have now received 100 percent of the housing inventory back from the contractor, but that does not necessarily mean that the housing is completely ready for people to move in. For example, we found that even though the contractor turned over some units, there is still a need for cabinet and closet work. In addition, during the final inspection we found other small deficiencies, and that work can take up to two weeks to get completed. After that, the units receive delivery and installation of appliances and final cleaning, so it can take as many as four to five weeks after we have received a unit from the contractor for it to be ready for someone to move in.

So although it appears we have a lot of housing ― and we do have enough to meet the needs of the people moving to Wiesbaden ― the housing is not necessarily available for immediate assignment.

What is the average waiting time for housing?

For on-post housing, the current average wait is 25 days, which is down

from 31 days in the last 60 days. For off-post housing, the average wait is 35 days, which is down 10 days from this summer.

What are some measures you’ve taken to reduce the wait for housing?

We review our waiting lists at a minimum of twice a week and compare them to the list of available housing. After this review we identify the steps we can take to assign housing as quickly as possible.

One example is to over house the family.

As an example, AR 420-1 authorizes the Housing Office to assign Soldiers and their families to housing one bedroom above their requirement. For example, if a family requires a two-bedroom unit, we have given them a three-bedroom.

Similarly, we have given some families that require a three-bedroom unit a fourbedroom unit. However, there are certain requirements that must be met first before we can do this. As an example in order to over house a junior enlisted service member and family with a two bedroom requirement to a three bedroom unit, there can be no one waiting for quarters on the junior enlisted three bedroom waiting list.

Also, although 100 percent of junior enlisted Soldiers (E1-E4) are housed on post, if a Soldier who is an E-5 or above has been on the waiting list for more than 30 days, we can offer him or her the option of living off post as outlined in the USAREUR and garrison housing policy letters. These Soldiers do not have to take the off-post option, but it is there for them.

In addition, if it is projected that a Soldier (E5 and above including officers) will be on a waiting list for more than 60 days, the Soldier will automatically be issued a Certificate of Non-availability for off-post housing. For example, if there are no field-grade three-bedroom units projected to be available for 60 days, the service member would be issued a CNA. Another way we have reduced the waiting lists is to do as much vacant quarters maintenance as possible on

service member can reapply for housing with the date of eligibility being the date of application. However, this is just the worst case scenario, and we make every effort possible to house the service member and his or her family.

If housing is not available for the Soldier at time of arrival, the Soldier goes on a waiting list. As soon as housing is available the Soldier is contacted by the Housing Office. The Soldier can then view the offer and accept or decline it.

The housing list is located in the lobby of Building 1023E on Clay Kaserne, and it is updated at a minimum every Photo by Karl Weisel Monday.

Everyone plays a role in protecting network U.S. Army Europe information assurance officials want to remind members of the U.S. forces community in Europe that October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and that it’s everyone’s duty to protect Army information and communications.

USAREUR cybersecurity experts say there is a real and ongoing war in cyberspace. The U.S. is constantly under cyber attack by hostile governments, organizations and individuals. Everyone can contribute to defending the U.S. against such attacks. Your contributions can include securing networks from hazards, staying up to date on threats and

training, practicing good online habits and setting the example for others to be cautious and vigilant as well.

President Barack Obama declared October National Cybersecurity Awareness Month for the first time in 2010.

This year’s focus for the U.S. Army in Europe community is on home computing security. USAREUR officials said they will offer more cybersecurity information and resources throughout the month.

Eligible U.S. Army in Europe Soldiers are being asked, via email, to participate in the 2012 Overseas Cost of Living Allowance Overseas Living Patterns Survey, scheduled for Oct. 1-31.

This survey is used to track the shopping patterns of uniformed service members stationed overseas. The data collected will assist in the determination of COLA paid to members in their country of assignment.

The survey is only for service

members stationed at 13 locations in Germany; Ansbach, Kalkar, Bremerhavan, Kaiserslautern Military Community, Buechel, Spangdahlem, Garmisch, Stuttgart, Geilenkirchen, VilseckGrafenwöhr, Heidelberg, Wiesbaden and Hohenfels.

Cost of Living Allowance Survey now in progress couraged so that data will be an accurate representation of the service member’s country of assignment.

To prepare for the survey, service members should determine where they purchase groceries, clothing, household furnishings, entertainment, communications and transportation.

Every three years, this survey is conducted to determine the local economy outlets where military families shop.

Then, during the follow-on annual Retail Price Schedule, which is scheduled to begin Nov. 10, the prices of 120 goods

and services are collected from outlets identified by service members during the COLA survey. The Defense Travel Management Office compares the prices in Germany to those in the U.S. and then calculates the Cost of Living Index which establishes the country’s COLA rate per location.

For more information, service members and their family members are encouraged to contact their unit personnel office or visit the COLA survey website at https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/ site/oscola-lps-germany.cfm.

Spouse sponsorship program starting

By Jodie DeLeon

Wiesbaden Army Community Service

Attention all spouses — do you remember what it was like when you found out you were moving to Wiesbaden?

“What is housing like?”

“I was involved in my family readiness group and spouses club at our last location. How do I get in contact with those groups in Wiesbaden?”

“We weren’t expecting it to be cold already, where can we go to find coats?”

Wouldn’t it have been nice to have someone to answer your many questions? That is where our new Army Community Service program, Spouse Sponsorship, comes in.

The Spouse Sponsorship program is a new initiative, under the Total Army Sponsorship program and ACS, which is designed to help ease the transition of a permanent change of station move for incoming and new spouses. In order to ensure the incoming/new spouses are welcomed and informed, we are looking for volunteers willing to offer their assistance.

You are not expected to know all the answers to the

new spouse’s questions, but the training offered through ACS will give you the tools to either answer the questions or

know where to find the answer. You just have to be available to the incoming spouse and to be that friendly face when they arrive.

The members of the Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club are a perfect partner for this program. One of the intents of the program is to match the incoming spouse with a Spouse Sponsor who has some similarities, such as organizational involvement or family structure.

It is important to have a

Spouse Sponsor who is an active member of the community, to ensure the new spouse has someone who can help them get out of the hotel and become an active member of the community; take them to their first WCSC meeting and introduce them to the members.

Spouse Sponsors can help create a positive outlook for new spouses and improve their time here in Germany.

Join the next Spouse Sponsorship training sessions 9-10:30 a.m. Nov. 13.

For more information on becoming a Spouse Sponsor or to sign up for training call civ (0611) 408-0254 or visit Army Community Service in Hainerberg Housing.

October is Energy Awareness Month

By Maj. William McGlothlin

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Department of Public Works Operations Officer

Energy awareness is about understanding that all day and night we're using energy in our houses and facilities and energy is expensive (especially in Europe). Some things we do use a lot more energy than others such as running washing machines and dishwashers. Simple changes in our habits can lead to big reductions in our energy consumption which in turn is better for our

environment and pocket books. Here are a few tips to reduce energy consumption: • Close windows and doors during winter months.

• Open the blinds to allow the sunshine to naturally heat the room.

• Turn off heaters when rooms are unoccupied.

• Always use the energy savings programs on washers/dryers and dishwashers.

• Start the washers/dryers/dishwashers

only when completely loaded.

• Turn off interior/exterior lights and electrical devices (computers, monitors, printers, audio/TV, wall chargers) and power strips when not needed.

• Unplug unused electrical devices in storage areas (i.e. refrigerators, freezers).

To learn more about energy conservation visit the energy awareness portion of our garrison Wiesbaden website at www. wiesbaden.army.mil/sites/local/energy. asp.

News and features Singers shine at local Rising Star competition Story and photos by Wendy Brown

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

The place where Mary Knudson put in hours of practice for her Operation Rising Star performance in Wiesbaden could not have been more appropriate.

Knudson, who sang Martina McBride’s “In My Daughter’s Eyes” and won the competition, said she sings the song almost every night to her daughter at bedtime. She has sung it to her hundreds of times, she said.

Knudson beat out six other contestants to win the competition and a $500 prize Sept. 21 at the Little Italy Restaurant and Catering Center. She now has a shot at winning the military-wide competition and receiving a professional recording contract, said Joseph Harris III, head of special events for Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

Audience votes counted for 50 percent of the contestants’ final score, and the judges’ scores also counted for 50 percent, Harris said. A total of 59 people from the audience voted. The judges were Kim Goins, and Spc. Fred Brown and Sgt. Stephen Counts from the American Forces Network-Wiesbaden.

Knudson, who lives in Heidelberg and competed last year but did not win, delivered a stunning professional-level performance with ease. “That was amazing. I’m just blown away,” said Counts after her performance.

Brown said, “You are very natural on stage. It does sound like you’ve sung this song hundreds of times. It’s the perfect song for you and you really owned it.”

Knudson also had some stiff competition.

Vincent Rappa of Wiesbaden came in second and received a $250 prize. His acoustic version of “Livin’ on a Prayer”

by Jon Bon Jovi was a hit with the audience and brought on a huge round of applause. Rappa said he has been singing for most of his life.

“You did very well,” said judge Brown. “Thank you for singing that.”

DeShontea Jackson of Wiesbaden came in third and received a $100 prize.

She sang “Hurt” by Christina Aguilera,

and also did a great job impressing the audience and the judges. “It gave me chills from the beginning,” said judge Goins.

Another contestant who did well was Carlos Collins, who came in fourth and sang “Hang On” by the Sounds of Blackness with the Tribe of Judah, a live band and choir that plays at the Clay Kaserne gospel service. “I decided if you’re going to give God your best, you have to bring the best,” he said.

Collins said he chose the song partially because it was Suicide Prevention Month. “This song says, ‘Hold on, you’re going to make it,’” he said.

When Collins was finished singing, all three judges used the word “great” to describe his performance. “You’re very comfortable on stage,” added Counts.

Contestants had to be members of the military ― active, National Guard or reserve ― or a family member, according to the contest rules. They also had to be more than 18 years old and strictly amateur.

The competition is modeled after the popular “American Idol” television show, and by the end of the competition, Counts had earned himself the nickname “Simon” for his frank (but never mean) assessments of the contestants’ performances. Simon Cowell is a former “American Idol” judge known for being critical of contestants’ performances.

The first round of the competition was a cappella, but during the final event contestants had background music. They also received a significant amount of cheering from the audience, thanks in part to an award that gave $300 to the organization that provided the most spirit during the competition. The Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club won hands down.

The 2012 military-wide Operation Rising Star Finals will be held in San Antonio, Texas, and will be broadcast on the Pentagon Channel. Visit www. armymwr.com and click on the entertainment tab to find the link to Operation Rising Star for details.

Last year, Sgt. Melissa Neal of Ansbach won the competition.

DoD hiring more people with disabilities Fourteen percent of civilians on DoD workforce have some type of disability

By Terri Moon Cronk

American Forces Press Service

The Defense Department’s hiring of wounded warriors and others with disabilities is on an uptick, the Pentagon’s director of disability programs said.

Stephen M. King, whose office is part of diversity management and equal opportunity, spoke with the American Forces Press Service about a recent Office of Personnel Management report that said 14 percent of the Defense Department’s civilian employees have disabilities, putting DoD in second place among cabinet-level agencies for disability hiring.

“There is a greater [applicant] pool, and more emphasis on hiring individuals with disabilities and wounded warriors through two executive orders in the last three years,” King said.

Veterans with disabilities bring values to DoD such as familiarity with military culture, proven leadership and the ability to enter the workforce and “perform on day 1,” he said.

Additionally, hiring veterans and others with disabilities contributes to military readiness, King said. DoD will reap the benefits of those who have served by hiring them after their

service, he added.

“It is awesome when you get DoD and other agencies to talk to someone who [wore] want to hire veterans with a uniform and tells you the difdisabilities whether they were ference that you’ve made as an injured recently, have acquired organization by allowing [him] a disability, or if the disability to continue to serve his country is service connected, King said. but in a different capacity,” King “We want ... “For any orga- said.

transitioning service members.

DoD also recruits young people with disabilities as they are about to graduate from more than 250 colleges and universities that participate in the Workforce Recruitment Program, which DoD co-sponsors with the Labor Department, King said.

The goal of the program is to create a database for federal agencies to meet their disability hiring targets, he said.

To further its goals, DoD also is working with human resources policies and advisers so those with disabilities have the opportunity to become integrated into development and leadership programs.

disabilities,” he said.

King’s office is working toward getting new employees to disclose their disability information so the department can accurately give them what they need to do their jobs, such as assisted technology.

Such technology runs the gamut, King said, from screen readers for the vision challenged to TTY machines for the deaf to braille keyboards and devices that help those with memory loss.

Some wounded warriors have some memory loss due to traumatic brain injuries, he added.

“New technologies are being invented every single day,” King said. “When you look at what we’re capable of providing in the workplace, with the right assistance, it’s actually quite phenomenal, and it’s only going to get better.”

Just deleting files or reformatting the hard drive will not remove this information. When you delete a file, the links to reconstruct the file disappear. But the bits and pieces of the deleted file stay on your computer until they're overwritten, and they can be retrieved with a data recovery program. To remove data from a hard drive permanently, the hard drive needs to be wiped clean or destroyed.

What can be done?

Utility programs to wipe a hard drive are available online and in stores where c o m puters are sold.

Constitution Day at Aukamm Elementary

Staff Sgt. Jorge “David” Santoro receives the Aukamm Bear from Principal Debbie Parks during a Constitution Day assembly at Aukamm Elementary School Sept. 26. Santoro, who was deploying, planned to bring the bear with him to Afghanistan with V Corps. V Corps officials planned to take pictures of the bear during his deployment so students could get an idea of what life is like for Soldiers in Afghanistan. Photo right: Isabella Hurst sings during the assembly. Every student in the school gathered for the assembly and sang songs such as “The Fifty Nifty United States.” Students liked the song so much they spontaneously started singing it as a group when the background music started at the beginning of the assembly.

Post-9/11 GI Bill celebrates start of fourth year By the Department of Veterans Affairs This year marks the third anniversary of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and since it was implemented, the Department of Veterans Affairs has provided educational benefits to 773,000 veterans and their family members.

“This is one of the most important programs helping our Iraq and Afghanistan veterans reach their educational goals,” Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki said. “We're proud this important benefit is making such a big difference in the lives of so many veterans.”

The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays tuition and fees on behalf of veterans or eligible dependents to the school in which they are enrolled.

Eligible participants also receive a monthly housing allowance and up to $1,000 annually for books and supplies. The program also allows eligible service members to transfer their benefits to their spouses and children.

The program provides a wide range of educational options, including undergraduate and graduate degrees, vocational/technical training, on-the-job training, flight training, correspondence training, licensing and national testing pro-

grams, entrepreneurship training, and tutorial assistance.

“For over 68 years, GI Bill programs have shaped and changed the lives of service members, veterans, their families and survivors by helping them reach their educational goals,” said Allison A. Hickey, Veterans Affairs undersecretary for benefits.

“Benefits provided under the Post9/11 GI Bill will continue to shape and change the lives of veterans by helping them build a stronger foundation for their careers.”

The Post-9/11 GI Bill is the most extensive educational assistance program since the original GI Bill was signed into law in 1944. VA has since paid more than $20 billion in benefits to veterans and their family members. For the 2012-2013 academic year, 1,770 colleges

and universities are supplementing Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits by participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program.

Under the Yellow Ribbon Program, degree-granting institutions make additional funds available for a veteran's educational program without an additional charge to their GI Bill entitlement. To make up the difference for those students whose tuition and fees exceed what the Post-9/11 GI Bill covers, institutions can voluntarily enter into a Yellow Ribbon Agreement with VA to designate an additional amount of funding, and VA will match that amount.

VA is seeking legal authority to trademark the term GI Bill.

President Barack Obama signed an executive order on April 26, 2012, directing VA and the Department of Defense to undertake a number of measures to “stop deceptive and misleading” promotional efforts that target the GI Bill educational benefits of service members, veterans, and eligible family members and survivors.

In June, the attorneys general of several states gave VA the rights to the GIBill.com website after the original owners agreed to give up the Internet site to settle a lawsuit by the states.

For your health Out for a Newman Village run

Katrina Bialobrzeski, a military spouse, runs along the 1.5-mile trail around the perimeter of Newman Village housing on Clay Kaserne Oct. 5. Bialobrzeski, who recently moved to Wiesbaden from Heidelberg with her family, has lost 50 pounds in the last six months. The running course is marked at the start, which is near the future tennis and basketball courts, and at the half-mile and one-mile marks.

The trail is open to military-identification card holders. Although the trail and the soccer fields are open for use, the rest of the Newman Village sports complex, including parking, will not be open until next spring.

Family matters: tackling obesity, for security’s sake Commentary by Lisa Daniel

American Forces Press Service

It's not often there is a national call to action over a matter of national security, but that is what's happening over America's obesity problem.

Luckily, there is no shortage of resources for everyone to address the issue.

Concerns about the quick rise in obesity ― some call it an epidemic ― and its potential to harm military readiness are not new. Ever since 100 retired generals and admirals formed the nonprofit organization “Mission: Readiness” and released its landmark 2010 report “Too Fat to Fight” to convince Congress to mandate healthy school lunches, federal officials, at least, have known of the military imperative to reverse the fat trend. The report included the services' assessment that 75 percent of the nation's 17- to 24-year-olds do not qualify for military service ― mostly due to obesity.

Those concerns were reiterated last month when the Bipartisan Policy Center released its report, “Lots to Lose,” which shows alarming trends not only in recruiting, but also in retention due to overweight problems.

In the past two years, the

movement has changed from alarm bells to action as public officials, including Defense Department leaders, carry the issue from Washington to cities, towns and military installations across the country. First Lady Michelle Obama took her Let’s Move campaign to Philadelphia to announce locally-based public-private initiatives.

The DoD has made similar changes, requiring all of its schools and day care centers to give children meals emphasizing fruits and vegetables, restrict television and computer time, ensure daily exercise and ban sweetened drinks. Also, Military OneSource offers free nutrition and fitness training to service members and their families.

In promoting Let's Move, the first lady often talks about changing American culture toward healthier living. That's where families come in. Mostparents agree that one of the toughest challenges is in challenging the idea that “kidfriendly” cuisine is limited to pizza, fries and chicken nuggets.

Changing the culture will mean cutting back on the all-too-easy and inexpensive drive-through meals. It will mean cooking healthy and encouraging children to try new things ― even when one’s child's friends are

over. Changing the culture means challenging the notion that children need snacks for every event ― soccer and Scouts, for example ― even when the event only lasts an hour. And it means asking teachers to discourage parents from bringing cupcakes in the classroom for every birthday, especially when there are 30 children in a class.

I've had to do all these things in the year and half since my daughter was diagnosed with Type I diabetes. It's not easy to make these kinds of changes,

but it can be done. Now, at age 9, my daughter has memorized carbohydrate counts of many foods ― there are great carb and calorie counters on the market. She also recognizes foods high in sugar, salt and fat, and understands how much better she feels eating eggs for breakfast instead of pancakes or doughnuts.

Granted, she would not have learned all this without being forced to, and that is where the campaign against obesity comes in. With the right information

― and there is plenty out there ― Americans can change the tide on obesity and its many related problems.

Some great websites for information are the Agriculture Department's Choose My Plate at www.choosemyplate.gov, Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures at www.healthykidshealthyfutures.org, and the National Institute of Health's Health, Lung and Blood Institute at www. nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/ heart/obesity/wecan/eat-right/ index.htm.

Discovering ‘The Nibelunge

12th-century German legend prov

By Wendy Brown

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

W

hen many native English speakers first hear of “The Nibelungenlied,” they find themselves saying, “The Nibelunge ― what?”

So take a moment and say it slowly. It’s pronounced Nee-be-loong-en-leed.

Then get ready to explore a medieval story that is to German literature what “Beowulf” is to English literature. It tells a tale of warriors, beasts and scoundrels, and in Germany, it’s a story that is extremely well known. Several German cities, Wiesbaden included, have a group of streets named after the main characters. Wiesbaden’s are near the Südfriedhof, which is located on the Siegfriedring.

The story concerns Siegfried, a prince from the Netherlands who comes to what is now Germany and wins a battle against the dragon Fafnir. He bathes in the dragon’s blood and becomes invincible in all but one spot where a leaf fell and kept the blood from touching his skin. Next he helps Burgundian King Gunther win the hand of the Brunhild, an Icelandic queen.

In the process, Siegfried helps win himself the hand of Gunther’s beautiful sister Kriemhild.

When brought together, however, Brunhild and Kriemhild quarrel, and their dispute ends up causing the warriors Siegfried trusts the most to kill him.

Hagen, Siegfried’s murderer, convinces Kriemhild to show him where Siegfried is vulnerable by promising to look out for that spot in battle. The rest of the story, Photo by Wendy Brown which takes up more than half the book, Venus looks down from the top of a fountain at the Schloss Drachenburg in Königswinter, which is located near Bonn concerns Kriemhild’s revenge.

It’s necessary to note that Königswinter is a wonderful destination without the Nibelungenlied connection. It has a pleasant downtown area that includes many shops and restaurants, and is located next to the river.

The area around Drachenfels also includes the Naturpark Siebengebirge, which has several hiking trails. For more information about the park, visit www. naturpark-siebengebirge.de.

Although no one has determined definitively that the coffin does contain his remains, the legend says he was buried at Lorsch and someone at some point in time identified the coffin as Siegfried’s, according to the abbey’s website.

The stone coffin contains decorations on the inside that include a cross and the fountain of life, according to the abbey’s website.

roads offer nearly endless tourism opportunities.

Each town along the way has its own offerings, and there is not enough space here to go into all of them. To find a list of all the towns, visit www.nibelungen-siegfriedstrasse.de. Another good website is www.nibelungenroute. de. From there, people can find out information about virtually any German town by putting the town’s name between “www.” and “.de.” The website for Michelstadt, for example, is www.michelstadt.de.

In several of the cities and towns along the roads are the 14 Nibelgenlied-based sculptures of Jens Nettlich. The sculptures are made of black metal and depict characters in various scenes from the book.

Atop a hill in Wertheim is the Burg Wertheim, a large castle reminiscent of Heidelberg Castle. The city has a website that includes a lot of tourism information in English at www.tourist-wertheim.com.

Another notable place to visit is the Englischer Garten Eulbach, which is located between Amorbach and Erbach.

Parents with young children will particularly enjoy this place because it not only includes a zoo, but a playground, a snackbar and a lot of wide-open space for children to roam. There are also Roman ruins on the site.

The Englischer Garten is located in the middle of a dense forest and seems to come out of nowhere. It is on the property of the Eulbach hunting lodge and across the road from the lodge and a traditional German guesthouse.

It is open year round from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information about the gardens, visit the Erbach website at www.erbach.de/lebeninerbach/freizeit/natur/englischergarten-eulbach.html.

If you have not already read the book, however, start your journey there. You won’t regret it.

“‘Sew a little mark on his clothing

Worms

so that I shall know where I must shield him in battle.’

She fancied she was saving the hero, yet this was aimed at his death.” ~ “The Nibelungenlied”

Most of “The Nibelungenlied” takes place in Worms, which is less than an hour’s drive from Wiesbaden. In Worms there is the Nibelungenmuseum, which is a museum dedicated to the story.

Visitors to the museum receive headsets to they can listen to a narrator tell about the story at a variety of video screens and other exhibits in the museum. The narration is available in English and several other languages. Many of the screens show clips from the Lang movies.

The museum ― which is sleek, technological and stylish ― is built into the old city wall not far from the Rhein River, where legend has it the Nibelungen treasure was sunk and never found.

The museum’s contemporary nature stands as a testament to the fact that the story is as relevant today as it was when it was written.

Another beauty to visiting the museum is that Worms, like Königswinter, is a wonderful place to visit in and of itself. There is the Cathedral of St. Peter, several restaurants and cafes and plenty of places for shopping. Worms also has a 1,000-year Jewish history, and visitors can go to a synagogue, the Jewish Museum and the historic “Holy Sands” Jewish cemetery, which is the oldest Jewish cemetery in Europe.

Worms is a great place to spend an entire day. The only drawback to the Nibelungenmuseum is that children who are not old enough to read the book probably will not get much out of it.

For more information on the museum, visit www.worms.de/extern/nibelungenmuseum.

Also be aware that the city of Worms holds an annual Nibelungen festival, with theater offerings and more. The next one is scheduled for July 5-21, 2013. More information is available at http://nibelungenfestspiele.de.

Truth be told, while Siegfried’s coffin is an interesting addition to the abbey, it is not the main reason to visit.

Instead, the abbey itself, which includes a beautiful garden, is a peaceful, beautiful place to visit. The place boasts a Carolingian gate house, a church, a tithe barn and a monastery wall. It is a 45-minute drive from Wiesbaden.

The abbey also hosts many medieval-themed events and medieval cooking classes as well. For more information about these offerings and the abbey, visit www. kloster-lorsch.de/lingua/englisch.html.

The Lorsch Abbey, only a 20-minute drive from Worms, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. One of the reasons Photo by Wendy Brown for its historical value is that it includes A view of the Rhein River from Drachenfels, the place where Siegfried killed the dragon Fafnir in “The Nibelungenthe Siegfried Sarcophagus, which is said lied.” Lord Byron also made the place famous when he mentioned the spectacular view of the river in “The Pilgrimage to contain Siegfried’s remains. of Childe Harold” in the 1800s.

Wiesbaden wins boxing tournament Event gave several new boxers a chance to compete Story and photos

by Wendy Brown

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

As a team, Wiesbaden came in first in the Hispanic History Boxing Tournament at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center Oct. 6. Rubin Stackhouse of Wiesbaden became the event’s super heavyweight champion.

Stackhouse, a military police officer who works in customs, said this was his third official boxing match, and so far he has won two and lost one. “It’s an outlet,” he said. “Instead of getting into trouble, I turned to boxing and turned a negative into a positive.”

Many of the tournament’s boxers were not as experienced as Stackhouse, but they all gave it their best shot, and many said they would continue boxing.

The event took place before a crowd of about 300 people.

Neiko Guillory of Wiesbaden’s 4th Air Support Operations Squadron, for example, beat Jeremy Ayala of Grafenwöhr in a light heavyweight match. Not only was this Guillory’s first match ever, but he only started training a week before, he said.

“It’s fun,” Guillory said of boxing.

Likewise, John Purfield of Wiesbaden’s 1st Military Intelligence Battalion, said this was his first competition and he had trained for three weeks. Wearing a beat-up pair of white sneakers with tape wound around the bottoms for traction, he beat Antonio McFadden of Heidelberg in a light heavyweight match.

Purfield also said he would like to continue boxing. “It’s a way to channel primal male aggression,” he said.

One of the evening’s crowd favorites was James Beck from Baumholder’s 86th Aeromedical Evacuation Squad, who caused the evening’s only knockdown. Beck, who was several inches shorter than his opponent, knocked down Marcus Spruill of Grafenwöhr not long after the light heavyweight match began. The referee stopped the contest.

After taking a shower, Beck laughed as a boxing fan wanted to take his picture while he was standing in line for food.

Beck said he started training as a boxer about eight months ago, but this was his first official match. “You train and you train and you want to see where you are,” he said.

Another Wiesbaden fighter was Joel Flores of 2nd Signal Brigade, who lost a close fight by decision to Aaron Williams of Baumholder in the light welterweight division.

Flores said it was his first fight and that he had trained for two weeks. “I just did it for Hispanic Heritage Month because I’m Hispanic,” he said, but he definitely planned to continue boxing. Grafenwöhr came in second as a team during the tournament, and Baumholder came in third.

In other Wiesbaden matches, Mark Ruffin of Wiesbaden beat Nathaniel Barnd of Wiesbaden in the middle heavyweight division, and Daine Watson of Wiesbaden beat Dwayne D. McGowan of Grafenwoehr in the light heavyweight division.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Command Sgt. Maj. Sa’eed Mustafa said the event’s large crowd is evidence that Wiesbaden Family, Morale and Welfare knows how to put on a quality event.

Also, the fact that the event was well done shows that there are quality events for people to attend during long weekends if they choose to stay in Wiesbaden, Mustafa said.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Sports and Fitness Director Kevin Ringgold said the garrison holds boxing events twice a year, and the next one will likely be in February. The organization has not set a date yet, he said.

Boxers Shawn Elliot of Wiesbaden, John R. Rene of Heidelberg, Odis Robinson of Wiesbaden and Ares Djaf of KSV Schriestein all had uncontested matches and won by default.
