Need an aerial escort for a high-visibility VIP? Call the 1-214th.

Wiesbaden’s 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, pro-vided support to President Barack Obama and his entourage of White House press corps, Secret Service and other support personnel during a visit to Europe March 18-26. The

1-214th sent 52 Soldiers and 11 UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters to escort the presidential party.

It was the battalion’s third presi-dential escort mission. Last year the 1-214th supported Obama on his trips to Belfast, Ireland and Israel.

The 1-214th flew with the Ma-rine Corps Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1) and the Dutch and Belgian police aircraft, working hand-in-hand with the organiza-

By Lt. Gen. Donald M. Campbell Jr.

Commander of U.S. Army Europe

The Chief of Staff of the Army’s next strategic priority is, in my opinion, the most vital and all-encompassing prior-ity, as the foundation for everything that we are and achieve is built upon the commitment of Soldiers to our Army profession.

In this priority, the CSA charges us to enforce a professional environment across our Army, free of harassment that promotes and respects the individual

dignity of all Soldiers and Civilians, al-lowing them to realize their full potential.

As part of our honored profession, not only must we preserve the earned trust of the American people and their confidence in our Army, but we must earn

and preserve the trust that all Soldiers place in their leaders and in their chain of command.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and I would like to take this opportunity to focus on Sexual Harass-ment/Assault Response and Prevention, because Soldiers who are committed to our Army profession are committed to combating this issue. Sexual assault is a serious challenge facing the Army family; to address the issue, as part of the Army’s Ready and Resilient Cam-paign, U.S. Army Europe will conduct a theater-wide Ready and Resilient Day focused on SHARP this month.

The Army SHARP Program rein-forces our commitment to eradicating sexual harassment and sexual assault through a comprehensive policy that centers on awareness and prevention; training and education; victim advocacy; and response, reporting, accountability, and program assessment.

Our profession demands equal weight on character, commitment and

competence. That’s why I expect lead-ers at every level to establish a climate of trust and accountability reinforced by continuous education and training; continue to conduct assessments using tools available in order for prevention and response efforts to be successful.

In the end, it is the Soldiers who are committed to our Army profession, who are disciplined and adhere to our Army Values, who will win the fight against sexual harassment and assault.

I am continually impressed as I travel around United States Army Europe; whether it’s at a unit or an installation, I see increased leader engagement and Soldiers at every level looking for ways to combat the serious issues that face our force today, committed to our Army profession.

I am certain that we are on the right path; together we can accomplish any mission, overcome any challenge and truly exemplify what it means to serve in the profession of arms.

Strong Soldiers, Strong Teams.

O c c u p a t i o n a l Health Nurse Week is a national observance to recognize and cel-ebrate members of the occupational and environmental health nursing profession. It is designated because, while most people un-derstand the function of a nurse in a clinical setting, not everyone is aware there are approximately 19,000 nurses who work in promoting and protecting the health of workers in the United States and Europe.

Through case management, coaching and health counsel-ing, legal and regulatory com-pliance, and workplace hazard detection and mitigation, occupational health nurses im-prove the health of employees. Improved employee health leads to reduced absenteeism,

lower turnover rates, improved employee morale and increased productivity.

U.S. Army Public Health Command has a new occupational health nurse assigned to U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden. Tanya Jacobsmuhlen is a

registered nurse and said she is enthusiastic and ready to engage the workforce.

Her office is located in Building 1038 on Clay Kas-erne, with the entrance on Lindsey Boulevard (parallel to the airfield)

To reach her, call mil 337-6004 or civ (0611) 705-6004. Give her a call or stop by to find out how she can help improve the health of the workforce by preventing work-related illnesses and injuries.

Ad scam warning About a month ago I came to

your office to tell about a scam that seems to be very popular in this area. Here’s how the scam works. When you place an ad-vertisement in a newspaper or on Bookoo.com that you want to sell a car, you might get a very tempting offer of buying your vehicle without taking a look at the vehicle and without bargaining. The “buyer” might ask you a few questions about the condition of the vehicle, tell you a story that this car is for his/her son or daughter, etc. All the communication is done through emails or text messages. Since the buyer is so busy, he or she offers to pay through PayPal and also offers you extra money so you can ship the vehicle to him/her. Money will be transferred and you will be asked to ship the vehicle through a certain

agency. Here are two things to know. The buyer has all the rights. PayPal transfer can be charged back and in a best- case scenario, you will lose money that you’ve paid for shipment. In a worst-case scenario, you’ll lose both — the shipment money and your car. Be smart, and if it looks too good to be true, it is probably not worth risking.

Garrison Soldiers and employees took a little time out to recognize outstanding individuals during an All-Hands Assembly in the Wiesbaden Fitness Center March 28.

Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wies-baden commander, led off the quarterly recognition event by welcoming new garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Roy L. Rocco.

“He knows garrisons and he knows Soldiers and we’re lucky to have him,” said Carstens.

“I’m happy to be back in Europe,” said Rocco who served in Vilseck and Darmstadt on previous tours. “When I left nine years ago I never thought I’d be back in Germany. … It’s nice to be home. I look forward to working with each and every one of you.”

Carstens drew applause from his listeners upon announcing that the garrison would once again be able to offer cash awards for outstanding customer service. “The FY14 awards guidance is out and you’ll see some award money starting today.

“We want to recognize some great employees in the workforce,” Carstens said, beginning by honoring the Directorate of Resource Management’s Gisela Schoenheim, the Directorate of Family, Morale, Wel-fare and Recreation’s Jerry Gardner, the Directorate of Public Works’ Udo Schmidt and the Religious Support Operations Office’s Spc. Leslie Tamez for “inspiring” him every day.

Carstens and Rocco also recognized several in-dividuals for “external” garrison awards including the Trailblazer Club gold medal award winner Fred Proctor for pedaling more than 1,270 miles in one month, Bill Montgomery with the 2012 Excellence in Management Award for best bowling center in the U.S. Army, the Housing Office’s Victor DiMarzo,

Mashonda Williams and Brigit Werkheiser with the Outstanding Housing Installation Team Award for 2013 and DFMWR’s Patricia Benz as the As-sociation of the United States Army’s 2013 Army Civilian of the Year.

Four individuals were singled out for Interac-tive Customer Evaluation “Emmy” awards: DRM’s Juergen Wagner; Child, Youth and School Services’ Ileana Ballaro, Army Community Service’s Earl McFarland and DPW’s Michael Schueller.

The Directorate of Emergency Services’ received the Golden Chicken Award for the “most interesting” ICE comment.

Garrison leaders explained that the customer ser-vice awards program, which recognizes outstanding service and support, was expanded to feature quarterly and annual awards in addition to the monthly recogni-tion. Monthly winners receive $500, quarterly $750 and annual winners get $1,000.

During the All-Hands Assembly the Automotive Skills Center’s Joe Cooper, Wiesbaden Entertainment Center’s Chris Nance, Army Community Service’s Rolando DeLeon and DES’s Staff Sgt. Nickolas Bryant were recognized as monthly winners. DES’s Helen Lucy was lauded as the Quarterly Customer Service Award winner.

Members of the Automotive Skills Center — Richard Babcock, Joseph Cooper, Enoch Jackson, Vecchio Gaetano, Bob Doman, Dante Pasetto, Johnny Brumsey and Carlos Staten — were honored with the garrison’s Team Award for customer service.

Sabine Schindler of the garrison’s Plans, Analysis and Integration Office was presented with the Achieve-ment Medal for Civilian Service for her dedicated efforts in managing contracts.

“Ms. Schindler is an example of our outstanding local national workforce, without whom we couldn’t operate,” Carstens concluded.

Wolves and birds, hunters and cats prowled the Clay School Age Center March 31.

As the music of Ser-gei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” filled the gym, youngsters crouched, crawled and fluttered their wings portraying the various characters in the story about a young boy’s quest to outwit a wily wolf.

“We started this program a month ago and will continue through the summer,” said Allison Cave, Schools of Knowledge, Inspiration, Exploration and Skills dance instructor. “This is a free program, and they are loving it.”

Pre-school students enrolled at the child develop-ment centers and in the Strong Beginnings Program have been expanding their horizons through the free Child, Youth and School Services Junior SKIES Unlimited dance program.

“I think it (“Peter and the Wolf”) is totally new to them. They get it confused with “Peter Rabbit” and other stories,” said Cave.

“The kids really enjoy the dance class,” said Jacob Greathouse, a CYSS staff member at the Hainerberg Child Development Center (Building 1502), explain-

ing that dancing is just one more activity among various physical activities enjoyed by the group.

Cave began a recent session by taking her young students through a series of warm-up and stretching activities before getting to the main event — practicing the various parts of “Peter and the Wolf.” As young-sters took turns acting out the duck, wolf, grandpa and other characters, their classmates giggled on the sidelines, applauding the performances.

As the class ended, Cave asked the youngsters to practice at home to be ready for the next session.

To find out more about other SKIES opportunities ranging from violin, piano and guitar instruction to ballet, swimming and contemporary dance call Parent Central Services at civ (0611) 705-7928.

ing field — 27 players from Hainerberg and seven from Au-kamm — it didn’t take long for the Hainerberg chess wizards to whittle down the competition.

After several hours of bat-tling through the brackets, the final four players, fifth-graders Sebastian Ortiz, Hana Sarver, Brock Stamper and fourth-grader Brendan Pharris — all from Hainerberg — were ready to face off for first through fourth places.

As Stamper faced Pharris for third- and fourth-place honors, Ortiz (last year’s champion) took on challenger Sarver to de-termine first and second places.

“I didn’t think I would get this far,” said Stamper, adding that playing “better players” during the year helped improve his overall game.

The practice paid off in the end for Stamper, who quickly checkmated his opponent to claim third place.

“This is my first year in Chess Club. I learned by play-

ing against my dad and from my grandpa,” Brock said. “I like chess because it’s not like checkers where you can only move one thing — you can move to a lot of different places.”

Meanwhile, at the next table, Ortiz had his hands full sacrific-ing piece after piece to Sarver.

“I was expecting to go against an Aukamm player,” said Ortiz. “In the practice tournament I barely beat her (Sarver). I really wasn’t expect-ing to go against her again.”

As the seconds ticked away with both players sacrificing knights, bishops, pawns and rooks, thinning the board to two

kings and a few black and white support pieces, it looked like the challenger might topple last year’s winner. But in the end, Ortiz’s cool head and offensive action prevailed with Sarver settling for second place overall.

“I started playing in the third grade,” said Sarver, adding that she enjoys playing chess because “it’s fun to do and good to learn because you think a lot and have to make the right moves to win.”

Ortiz thanked his coach, Rabih Youness, and the school’s Parent Teacher Organization for supporting the Chess Club. You-ness also thanked the Exchange, USO, Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club and members of the 102nd Signal Battalion — the school’s partner unit — for donating prizes and helping make the tournament a success.

“After this tournament we’re planning a tournament in Ramstein on May 31,” Youness said, adding that Wiesbaden Middle School students are also invited to partici-pate in the Ramstein competition.

They’re sprouting like three-leaf clo-vers all over Wiesbaden’s Clay Kaserne.

As more and more units and organiza-tions commit to saving energy and re-sources through the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s Greet Boot initiative, ever more Green Boot Certificate signs are appearing out front of those very same military and civilian agencies.

“This is something unit commanders can take pride in,” said Special Agent James Rickards of the 481st Military Police Detachment (Criminal Investiga-tion Division). “Any unit out there with a good NCO (noncommissioned officer) can take the reins and start the process.”

That process involves contacting the Environmental Office for information on the Green Boot Program, getting and refining the checklist, and then taking the steps to meet the Green Boot standards — all of which are aimed at saving valuable resources, Army dollars, being good neighbors to the host nation and ensuring a brighter future for the next generation.

“Maj. (William) McGlothlin (op-erations officer for USAG Wiesbaden’s Directorate of Public Works) was really helpful,” said Staff Sgt. Jay Buckley

of the 481st MP Detachment, one of the latest units to be recognized for its efforts. “You just have to ask for help. Once you get going, just keep going and get it done.”

“Units should have a senior point of contact to be the liaison in a unit to fa-cilitate the process,” said McGlothlin, adding that by par-ticipating, units help teach new Soldiers to Europe to quickly join the recycling and energy-saving effort. “We’re also reaching out to young people — to encourage them to make recycling a regular part of their family life at home.”

Besides going through the checklist and beefing up the unit’s recycling ef-forts, Buckley said members of his unit have saved energy by making biking to work a regular feature and dedicated a Sunday to working on the grounds (clearing weeds) around the CID offices and Postal Service Center.

“We’ve recycled anything we could,” Buckley said, explaining that recycling bins once used in a now-closed Bamberg CID office found a new home in Wies-

baden. “Anything else we’ve needed we checked the Re-Use Center on Clay Kaserne first. Our agents have also taken the initiative to bike in to work and do

more recycling at home.”

“We needed to procure recycling containers because we didn’t have any,” said Rickards, adding that by obtaining them another closing CID office they helped save money that can be used for other Army needs.

C o l . D a v i d Carstens, USAG Wi-

esbaden commander, presented Green Boot Certificates to Lt. Col. Michael Hughes, Wiesbaden Health Clinic com-mander, and Rickards on March 24.

“The fact that such a small office has achieved Green Boot status is fantastic,” said Carstens, praising the Wiesbaden CID members for helping “give back” to the Army and the community.

The clinic, which was undergoing a national accreditation survey, used the Greet Boot Program to step up their environmental involvement, said Capt. Thomas Tucker, clinic executive officer.

“This program helped us tighten up our environmental standards,” he said, point-ing out that both the survey and Green Boot initiative encouraged a closer look at patient safety, recycling and efforts to reduce energy costs.

“This validated a lot of things we were already doing,” Tucker said, “such as how we as a clinic exercise good conservation. It helped bring structure to our energy conservation efforts.”

Carpooling, installation of bike racks and making recycling easier were all part of the drive. This included “getting people more in the habit of recycling through staff education and making the bins more accessible,” said Sgt. Phillip Curiel, the clinic’s Green Boot facilita-tor. Placing recycling bins in high traffic areas was one way of getting everyone to do his or her part, he said.

“I’m very proud of you and all the work that goes into this,” said Carstens while presenting the clinic’s Green Boot Certificate. “You’re sending a message to the community and the people who come into this facility. What you are doing isn’t only good for the Earth, it’s good for the Army and this community.”

Construction projects, traffic impact, environmental cooperation and upcoming events were the key topics discussed during the Executive Exchange Council held at the Community Activity Center on Clay Kaserne April 1.

Wiesbaden Lord Mayor Sven Gerich and Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, hosted local town mayors, administrators and represen-tatives from the city parliament to provide an update on master planning strategies, major events and other matters related to the military community.

“We already have open and superb dialogue with the city so that we don’t wait for this council to address issues that may arise,” said Carstens, mentioning that the council is mandated by regulation to be held once a year, but the last meeting was preempted by the then pending outcome of the Wiesbaden mayoral election.

Since the last session in August 2012, a number of changes have occurred. The Wiesbaden military com-munity saw the departure of two major tenant units and received U.S. Army Europe Headquarters. Several construction projects — the Gen. Shalikashvili Mission Command Center, Newman Village Housing, a new parking garage — have since been completed and new ones — the Gray Center, the Consolidated Intelligence Center, the Clay Kaserne and Hainerberg Access Control Points, the Army Air Force Exchange Service main ex-change, the commissary, and the middle and elementary schools — are in progress or on the way.

And while at some point much of the information briefed was announced in the press during the last year and half, it was an opportunity for local administra-

tors to ask questions to of decision makers and subject matter experts.

City and garrison representatives updated the group on completed construction projects, master planning for Clay Kaserne’s north side and Hainerberg Housing, and traffic route changes.

Major construction to the access control points at Clay Kaserne and Hainerberg Housing caused the most hands to be raised as some city officials expected the projects to severely impede traffic flow. However, garrison and city officials explained some of the well-thought out counterstrategies, which quelled much of the concern.

“If the solutions are implemented, we have played it through for success,” said Jörg Gerhard, Wiesbaden Tiefbau- und Vermessungsamt, who explained that stoplights would be added at designated points and syn-chronized to ensure efficient traffic flow. Additionally, streets would be restriped to form designated turning lanes, and public transportation options will be expanded from Hainerberg Housing to Clay Kaserne.

“(Administrators from) Erbenheim and Bierstadt were brought early into the discussion, also. We’ve thought through the plan and what we’ve planned can work,” Gerhard said.

Concerns taken seriously“I take very seriously the concerns of the local

administration,” said Gerich, in response to questions about construction and traffic flow to Erbenheim’s Mittelpfad Strasse, the street leading to Erbenheim and Clay Kaserne’s north side. He also offered a couple of control measures to ensure parking opportunities near the Erbenheim cemetery would not be abused.

Carstens gave reassurance that military and other

community members are disciplined and will comply with garrison directives regarding the traffic campaign.

“Generally, Soldiers do what we tell them,” he said about using internal Clay Kaserne access roads when possible. “If we have this and are stressing its use, we can make it happen. Additionally, he added, there’s an effort to limit the amount of vehicles on roadways.

“More citizens are finding it easier to bike to work from Aukamm, Crestview and Hainerberg,” he said, noting that the Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation directorate will hold a bike-to-work orientation to show bikers the routes to use to navigate between the housing areas and Clay Kaserne.

The garrison announced several upcoming events for German-American cooperation and friendship which includes a German-American fest June 28 to July 4, community open house July 6, a Christmas concert in December and an all-hazards exercise Sept. 25.

“It’s a significant sign to the population that you are opening yourselves up for people to come visit,” said Gerich.

The garrison also highlighted its vigorous coopera-tion in energy conservation and environmental programs with the city. The list of accomplishments included the garrison’s recent participation in Earth Hour on March 29, the implementation of the “Green Boot” program, Earth Day activities, the opening of the Recycle Center, and the installation of photovoltaic cells on several Clay Kaserne buildings. The garrison will also continue its participation, alongside Wiesbaden industries and cor-porations, in the Ökoprofit/Ecoprofit initiative; this year it will showcase energy conservation measures used in the Wiesbaden Lodge.

Local administrators updated on community’s transformation

By Chrystal SmithU.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden


Life has taken Laura Janko-wich much farther than she ever imagined. And despite it some-times being a “constant juggle,” she wouldn’t change a thing.

Testifying of occasions in her career that demanded character, courage, and commitment — the essence of the Women’s History Month theme — the U.S. Army Europe deputy G8 shared some of life’s lessons with those at the community observance event at the Tony Bass Fitness Center March 26.

According to the “southern girl” from Mississippi, deciding to move to Germany for her career as a single mother took great courage. She said her plan for life 20 years ago was to stick close to home, nearer to her grandmother; the person who most impacted her character most.

Jankovich pulled no punches with the crowd as she shared

various points from her career of amusement, conflict, challenge, discomfort and accomplishment.

“You never know who’s standing behind you and some-times you’re going to be judged,” she said. “I want people to know I’m just as equally capable as someone of the other sex.”

She entered federal service in 1999 as an auditor at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Along the way she became a certified public accountant and certified internal auditor. And the path of her career is where she learned a number of things about herself

while working with others.

“I have dealt with gender and age dis-crimination ... mostly

from other women,” she said, sharing an account where female coworkers lodged concerns with the supervisor to ban a 20-some-thing Jankovich from wearing a two-piece to an office outing.

Another moment that tested her character was when she was confronted by a “fairly senior

male col-onel” who d o u b t -e d h e r k n o w l -edge and p r o f i -c i e n c y b e c a u s e of how young she looked.

“Being underestimated is probably one of our best strengths,” said Jankovich, who said despite being offended at the colonel’s disrespectful and rude comments, she maintained professional bearing and her commitment to duty. “He apolo-gized to me in front of my team and said ‘you proved me wrong.’ I was committed to doing my job well, regardless of what he thought of me.”

In 22 years she said there are many things that have im-proved in the workplace, and encouraged everyone present to “embrace the change — it’s what gave women the opportunity we have today.”

The program, “Celebrating

Women of Character, Courage and Commitment” also included honorary tributes — recita-tions performed by community members — to historic women.

Mackenzie Riley read her win-ning essay, and Col. Kenneth Rector, 66th Military Intelli-gence Brigade commander, gave final remarks.

House liaison officers, HMX-1 personnel and the Netherlands Police,” said Mandelkow, air mission commander for the Blackhawks’ role in the Nether-lands. “We ultimately had three separate units flying together, accustomed to their own stan-dard operating procedures, yet as a group we all came together and developed a fantastic work-ing relationship. In the air we became one cohesive unit re-

gardless of country or branch.” On March 24 Obama attend-

ed the Nuclear Security Summit in the Hague, the Netherlands, where Alpha Company trans-ported 40 support personnel between Schiphol International Airport and the Museum Dis-trict of Amsterdam. On March 26 he addressed the European Union in Brussels, Belgium, regarding Russia’s annexation of Ukraine. Five Blackhawks escorted the party from Qortrijk

Airport to Flanders Field for a World War I memorial service.

The Guardian newspaper reported his trip to Brussels cost the city more than €10 million to provide extra security measures, but it caused no issues for the 1-214th.

“We were very familiar with what their expectation was and everything went as planned,” said Albert. “We had great co-ordination with our host nation partners as well as the Marines.”

“We hope to get the op-portunity to work with them

again in the near future,” added Mandelkow.

saults and provides response for when incidents occur. Overseas, SHARP assistance is available to all

adult ID cardholders. Soldiers and adult dependents of service members may receive direct long-term support from program specialists.

SHARP will see victims of sexual assault at any time they wish to file their initial report, 24 hours after an incident or years after it has occurred.

For harassment cases, SHARP must receive the complaint within 60 days of the last occurrence. Af-ter that, an assigned victim advocate will help guide

clients through what can seem like a maze of support networks, said Ronaldo DeLeon, SHARP coordinator.

“The added support helps to reduce stress and places all the primary decisions in the hands of the client,” he said. Victim advocates help victims navigate the services they feel are best, including counseling, medical attention and legal support.

SHARP’s 24-hour hotline is civ (0162) 296-6741. “The hotline is staffed by trained advocates and is

100 percent confidential. If someone needs or wants support, please call us,” DeLeon said.

SHARP also offers training and education for all

ID cardholders. The Bystander Education class that started this

month teaches bystanders how and when to step in and prevent mistreatment of others.

“I’d like everyone to remember to stand up and speak up. They don’t have to do it all but they have a duty to do something. The Army recognizes this is not a victim issue,” emphasized DeLeon. “It is an offender issue and with a team of peers ready to stand up and speak up we can stop incidents of harassment and assault before they occur.” (Marlene Balzer contributed to this story).

The Wiesbaden Entertain-ment Center was flush with pink, blue, ribbons and bows as Army Community Service hosted its sixth annual Baby Fair for new parents March 28.

More than 150 people at-tended the event, organized by the Family Advocacy Program’s New Parent Support Program, which included a prize drawing, information booths and semi-nars on “baby wearing,” what to expect your first year, dental care and saving for college. Certified staff checked car seats for safety and the Easter Bunny even made an appearance.

Eighteen organizations such as La Leche League, Wiesbaden Health Clinic and Women, Infants and Children Overseas were on hand to help new moms and dads get prepared for baby care. The USO, Andrews Fed-eral Credit Union and Army and Air Force Exchange Service provided donations.

“This is an opportunity for expecting parents to come togeth-

er for a positive, shared experience, have some fun and see what the com-munity has to of-fer for resources,” said Michelle Sto-sich, Family Ad-vocacy Program manager. “It just keeps growing ev-ery year.”

S g t . M a r k Gita at tended with his wife and their 3-week-old daughter Leileh.

“My wife wanted to learn how to wrap the baby,” he said, gently rocking baby Leileh. “She is our first baby. It’s pretty cool being a new dad. It’s awe-some. There’s no other feeling like it.”

Carina Schmidt attended with her 4-month-old baby boy Aeden.

“There are a lot of things that aren’t well-known, such as the Parent-to-Parent program,” she joked. “This is my first child, so I have no idea what I’m doing. There is a lot of good informa-tion here.”

The NPSP offers home visits, play groups, newborn network, “Breast Friends” breastfeeding support group, baby wearing and cloth diaper-ing classes, infant massage, a monthly “Mommy and Daddy 101” class, a resource and lending library, referrals to community agencies and even a 35-pound empathy belly that dads-to-be can wear to get a feel for pregnancy.

Did you live or work abroad or receive income from foreign sources in 2013? If you are a U.S. citizen or resi-dent, you must report income from all sources within and outside of the United States. The rules for filing income tax returns are generally the same whether you’re living in the United States or abroad. Here are seven tips from the Internal Revenue Service that U.S. taxpayers with foreign income should know:F Report worldwide in-

come. By law, U.S. citizens and resident aliens must report their worldwide income. This includes income from foreign trusts, and foreign bank and securities accounts.F File required tax

forms. You may need to file Schedule B, Interest and Ordi-nary Dividends, with your U.S. tax return. You may also need to file Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets. In some cases, you may need to file FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. See IRS.gov for more information.F Consider the auto-

matic extension. If you’re living abroad and can’t file your return by the April 15 deadline, you may qualify for an automatic two-month filing extension. You’ll then have until June 16, 2014, to file your U.S. income tax return. This extension also applies to those serving in the military outside the U.S. You’ll need to attach a statement to your return to explain why you qualify for the extension. This is only an extension to file; if you owe taxes you must pay by April 15, 2014, to avoid penalties and interest for late payment.F Review the foreign

earned income exclusion. If you live and work abroad, you may be able to claim the foreign earned income exclu-sion. If you qualify, you won’t pay tax on up to $97,600 of your wages and other foreign earned income in 2013. You must report the income and

exclude it; you may not simply ignore it. See Form 2555, For-eign Earned Income, or Form 2555-EZ, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, for more details. F Don’t overlook credits

and deductions. You may be able to take a tax credit or a deduction for income taxes you paid to a foreign country. These benefits can reduce the amount of taxes you have to pay if both countries tax the same income.F Use IRS Free File.

Everyone can prepare and e-file their federal tax return for free by using IRS Free File. If you make $58,000 or less, you can use brand-name tax software. If you earn more, you can use Free File Fillable Forms, an electronic version of IRS paper forms. Free File is available only through the IRS.gov website. Some Free File software products and fillable forms also support foreign addresses for those who live abroad.F Get tax help outside the

United States. The IRS has offices in Frankfurt, London, Paris and Beijing. IRS staff at these offices can help you with tax filing issues and answer your tax questions. Visit IRS.gov for more information.

You can get more on this topic in Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad. IRS forms and publications are available on IRS.gov or by calling (800) 829-3676.F Local help is available.

Remember, the Wiesbaden Tax Center is a free tax filing service, with highly trained and certified personnel available to assist you in filing your taxes. The Tax Center is located on Clay Kaserne, Building 1043, and open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. and on Thurs-day from noon to 4:15 p.m.

Creepy, kooky, spooky laughs filled the Amelia Earhart Playhouse on opening night as its players took to the stage to present “The Ad-dam’s Family: A New Musical Comedy.”

Love turns the Addams family’s founda-tion on its head as a grownup Wednesday finds herself in love.

No one rests, not even the dead as the family gets set to host Wednesday’s love interest and his “normal” parents. Even the dead are alive to ensure that love conquers all in this cast of sharp-witted oddballs.

For longtime Addams family fans, the play

does not disappoint.“This is one of the most delightful plays I’ve

seen,” said Regina Noeth, who said she has been a fan since the sitcom first aired in 1964. “(This play) was entertaining from beginning to end.”

Even those new to the playhouse and only casually acquainted with the Addams clan found it to be fulfilling entertainment.

“It’s no problem to sit through it again,” said Brenda Solivan, who plans to see the play again with her husband.

“It was pretty funny. Very entertaining,” said Alesha Lafuria. “I hadn’t been to a play here before, but I thought it was great.”

Playhouse goers can expect almost anything from the production, as it stays true to the spirit of the Addams family.

“It’s fresh, funny, exciting,” said Kim Carr, director and playhouse director, who chose to do the production seeing that it had not been done here before. “I really fell in love with this play. It was an enormous project, but well worth it.”

Can the family live up to the challenge of getting through one “normal” night in their quest not to scare off the would-be in-laws?

The play runs through April 19 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased online at https://webt-rac.mwr.army.mil or reserved by phone. Call mil 336-2473 or civ (0611) 816-2473.

Boy Scout Troop 107 hatched three new Eagle Scouts — Alexander Wie-man, Seth Kraft and Jared Lanterman — in a ceremony highlighting their achievements as scouts.

Wiesbaden High School senior Alex Wieman, a scholar-athlete, helped a local representative for Jewish cemeter-ies identify and mark graves that were stripped of their markers by the Nazi regime during World War II. Working with an original 200-year-old cemetery registry, Wieman created 61 identifica-tion plates for the gravesites and also created an electronic database for all names in the registry.

“I feel like I learned a lot about the lessons found in history and the necessity of preserving the past,” he remarked. “It was really numbing to see gravestones stripped — a very unique experience.”

Senior Seth Kraft emphasized his lifelong passion for scouting and nature, which culminated in a project to protect

young saplings in the Rheinblick area under attack by nesting field mice. Work-ing with the Frauenstein Forstmeister for the Wiesbaden Amt für Grünflächen, Landwirtschaft und Forsten (Office for Agriculture and Forestry), Kraft organized a team to build biodegrad-able hawk perches that were placed in strategic locations.

“This project helped support the community’s wildlife as well as Ger-man-American relations,” he said. “I also enjoyed the opportunity to show-case my leadership skills. I am already a strong leader, but I still learned a great deal about planning and attention to detail.”

Kraft will attend the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts where he will pursue a degree in physics.

Sophomore Jared Lanterman also worked with the forester on his project building snake habitats for the Aescu-lapian snake, an endangered species in the Wiesbaden area.

Lanterman commented on the im-portance of demonstrating leadership. “I learned that I shouldn’t have to do the work myself, but demonstrate and

be an example to those helping,” he said. “You need to have a very detailed plan and make sure everyone is occu-pied.”

Lanterman will move to Maryland in August and plans to work as an um-pire for baseball games.

Troop 107 has had more than 50 scouts earn Eagle in the past 10 years. Scoutmaster Jeff Stone credits “a mix of key ingredi-ents” for the troop’s successful reputa-tion, starting with “great scouts” and a strong network of adult volunteers.

Last, “you need to have a good program that keeps boys engaged,” explained Stone, “but scouts also need to be responsible for what they do and

how they do it. “Treat them like 12-year-old Tender-

foot Scouts, they won’t grow. Let them run the troop, do some great things and make some mistakes, they’ll grow into leaders,” Stone said.

Troop 107 is open to boys 10 or older.

Wiesbaden Better Opportunities for Single Sol-diers members helped improve the quality of life at a local orphanage April 1.

BOSS volunteers helped cut grass, painted and performed other yard work at Wiesbaden’s Jugend-hilfeverbund Antoniusheim Orphanage as part of an outreach effort by Army Community Service, the German-American Outreach Kontakt Club and BOSS.

“This is something I’ve wanted to do since I’ve been the volunteer coordinator,” said Earl McFarland, volunteer coordinator with U.S. Army Garrison Wi-esbaden’s Army Community Service, explaining that working with Outreach Kontakt, “we’re seeing what organizations are out there who can use volunteers.”

McFarland explained that Wiesbaden military community volunteers have been helping out in a

homeless shelter in Mainz, German kindergartens and orphanages. “They go in and provide volunteers to meet whatever needs such as serving food, sorting clothes or other assistance. We’re helping a local

kindergarten move to its new location next month.“BOSS went out yesterday and assisted with

spring cleaning,” he said.“I’m also trying to establish a Big Sister program,”

McFarland said, for a local organization that assists teenage mothers.

“For me it’s all about relationships. That’s the in-tent of this,” he said, to underscore German-American friendship. “My intent is to empower others to serve. There’s always a need, and we’re looking for people to meet that need.

“We had a case where an orphanage needed wood-work done and a Soldier just happened to have that skill. There’s always talent out there, and I believe it will come forward when needed,” McFarland said, adding, “We have some awesome volunteers in our garrison.”

Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Earl McFarland at civ (0611) 4080-254.

“Kids News has been inspir-ing children all over Europe since 2007,” said Peter Witmer, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden school liaison officer.

Having started off as a televi-sion show for AFN Hessen, in 2012 it was changed to a radio format for AFN Wiesbaden, Witmer said.

Student participants ranging in grade from elementary to high school use the experience to inform the community about upcoming events ranging from testing to sports happenings, current events to other school activities.

“These kids get on the radio to inspire other kids to learn,” Witmer said, adding that Kids News also gives them an op-portunity to develop their public speaking skills. “Some of the kids who do the news are interested in broadcasting while others just find it very interesting. … And it brings so much joy to the parents in the community — getting the chance to hear their children’s voices on the radio.”

“Throughout the eight years there have been more than 10 different producers and four

different station commanders, but everyone … has continued the tradition,” said Witmer. The current producer is Air Force Staff Sgt. Jaime Ciciora who has been the primary producer since November 2013.

“I work with the high school film program with Mr. Smith and I also love working with kids, so I wanted to take over Kids News as their producer. Another reason why I wanted to be the producer is because I wanted to take the time to make it educational and show them how and why we do things a certain way so they have a

better idea before we record anything,” Ciciora said. “This also allows them to be more comfortable to talk to me.”

With different ages and skill levels come different chal-lenges. “The interview tends to be more difficult with the younger kids because they are unsure of what they should say. High-schoolers are more confi-dent and comfortable speaking usually,” Ciciora said.

“Every group of kids comes to the station with a different personality. Some come in ner-vous, others shy, and some are so charismatic and ready to get

on the mic,” she said. “Before going on air I go over what the kids will be talking about, the time positions that every person will have — and since there is only one microphone in the studio, we discuss when each child will talk … to avoid audio problems. I like to think of it as going over our ‘game plan.’

“There’s a lot of editing afterwards, but it’s a great oppor-tunity for the kids,” Ciciora said, adding that the students seem to really like having the chance to visit with the live afternoon DJ, Sgt. Boris Shiloff to take a photo and to get a Kids News T-shirt after recording Kids News.

“I have parents who come to me two or three years later or before they PCS and thank me for coordinating this program,” said Witmer. “This program changes children’s lives and boosts their confidence to speak out publicly. It acts as a breakthrough for them to find themselves.

“It can also be something for them to add to their resumes. Overall it’s just a great experi-ence,” Witmer said. (Kierra Carr, a Wiesbaden High School senior, is a student intern with the garrison’s Public Affairs Office)

Her Majesty Queen Eliza-beth, Albert Einstein and Ame-lia Earhart, among other such historical heavyweights, were alive and well at Hainerberg Elementary School April 1.

Third-graders brought them to life for their “Living History” project-based learning assign-ment, which had them choose a historical or present-day person with significant impact to research and emulate. Stu-dents prepared and memorized monologues on their person, dressed in character and then presented for parents and other Hainerberg students.

“My name is Queen Eliza-beth. I was born in London at 3:40 in the morning,” began Aryn Trumbly, 8.

She chose to embody Queen

Elizabeth because Elizabeth is her middle name, and she and her family met the Queen in Australia when she was visiting Down Under.

“I got to meet her; it was really cool,” she said, breaking character.

“They got to choose the person they liked, and they’ve really put a lot of effort into this,” said third-grade teacher Demetrio Perez.

Benito Benavides, 9, chose to be President Barack Obama because, he said, “I think he’s

a really good president and I wanted to learn more about him.” Elyssa Kugler, 8, a “Harry Potter” fan, was J.K. Rowling. She learned that she donates to charity and wants children to learn proper English.

“We wanted them to choose someone they’re interested in and become an expert on that person,” said Jenny Pond, third-grade teacher. “I’m sure this will

be a project they’ll remember.”The project helped the

students accomplish their stan-dards of writing and delivering a speech.

The school is hosting a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Night April 24 from 4:30-7 p.m. U.S. Army Europe engineers will speak to students about careers in engineering.

To the untrained eye, Army Combatives appear to be “a bunch of backyard wrestling” — two people rolling around on the floor jostling and grap-pling for dominance.

But to the learned, it is the quintessential example of a sport that proves one’s resilience.

Wiesbaden community Soldiers got a chance to prove that attribute and test their proficiency March 29 during a, basic rules, Community In-tramural Combatives Tourna-ment at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center, where more than 29 individuals competed across seven weight classes.

“The tournament gave Soldiers a chance to solidify their training, enforce the tech-niques and instill confidence,” said Sgt. 1st Class Adam C. Martinez, Team Resilience

through Sports captain, who said the competition allowed Soldiers to demonstrate their ability to execute the basic techniques before evolving to the next level.

Spc. Joshua Donohoe of the 24th Military Intelligence Battalion was a bit anxious to compete at first. Despite being overcome by his first opponent, he bounced back to get a win in his second match of the day.

“I was afraid that these guys would be much more experienced that I am,” he said after his second bout that paired him against the person who took down the person who defeated him earlier that day. “I was a little surprised that winning that match would be that easy.”

Donohue, who will report to airborne training this month, said that participating helped reinforce his core fortitude.

“If anything, it’s helping me to dig down and f igh t through,” he said, com-menting that he employed a strategy in-volving con-stant motion to offset his opponents. “ W h e n things get

tough you can fight through, even when you’re nervous.”

Sgt. Ron Anderson, 2nd Military Intelligence Battalion assistant coach, could be seen watching and heard coaching and cheering his Soldiers on from the sidelines throughout the day.

“They know I care about them. I give 100 percent to them,” he said, explaining his intense focus on the sidelines that led to the 2nd MI team

winning the overall event. “They kept their heads up, listened to what I said and kept going for it.”

Anderson too agreed that the sport exemplifies resil-iency.

“It’s not over until the ref-eree calls it or the bell rings,” said Sgt. Ron Anderson, men-tioning how at any time in the match one may be ahead in points, but the underdog can rally through a submission

move before the final horn to claim vic-tory.

Donohoe finished atop his class for the gold and said he was in high spirits.

“I’m feel-ing good now. I was focused on trying to win. I wanted to be good with myself so I would know I tried as hard as I could,” he said. “I will do this again. I want to get more experi-

ence (for the next level).”The tournament was one of

three intramural-level events that will be offered in the com-munity. Unit teams that compete earn points towards capturing the commander’s cup.

Results: 125-pound: Justin Cregger first place, Alyssa Briggs second place; 140: Donovan Cox, Brandon Al-exander, Justin Cregger; 155: Andrew Hernandez, Sidney Johnson, Kristopher Dimond; 170: Joshua Donohoe, Michael Horner, Jake Maytum; 185: Steven Bernstein, Zachary Caufmen, Mickael Wheelock; 205: Charles Webb, Henry Gundacker, Jason Lee; +205: Steven Brown, Felipe Tristan, Derrick Davis. Team overall: 2nd Military Intelligence Bat-talion earned 137 points and 24th MI earned 114.

Team Resilience through Sports is seeking to get more people involved as participants and supporters to highlight more sports offered in the community. It holds its next combatives tournament May 10, and volleyball and softball intramural seasons are in prog-ress.

“I think living together in one coun-try, it’s really important to learn about each other’s culture firsthand.”

That’s what Tarek Aichach, an English teacher with the Helene-Lange-Schule, had to say about a new partner-ship with Aukamm Elementary School.

“This is a good opportunity to get together — a place for both cultures to overcome stereotypes … and a nice way for the students to use their English in a real-world context — an opportunity they usually don’t get in school,” said Aichach.

About 25 students from the local German school spent the afternoon with their American peers at Aukamm Elementary School March 26. Members of Aukamm’s German Club welcomed their new exchange partners and escorted them to various classes throughout the school.

“The Parent Teacher Association provided an ice cream social for the get-together after school,” said Aukamm councilor Inge Moorman. “Parents of the German Club members provided toppings for the ice cream social.”

As the American students eagerly awaited their German visitors on the Aukamm school playground, they talked about why they wanted to participate in an exchange program.

“I just moved here, and I signed up because I knew it would be a cool experience and I wanted to know what it would be like to be with the German people,” said Aukamm fourth-grader Avagayle Geldard.

“I’m learning German in school,”

Geldard added, saying she was looking forward to new friendships and explaining the Pledge of Allegiance to the visitors.

“I’m in German Club because I want to get to know the country I’m in right now,” said Aukamm student Michael Stephens. “I have experience with penpals; in the third grade I was a penpal with a boy in a German school.”

“I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Aukamm fifth-grader Colin Kristolaitis, adding that his older brother was a penpal and that he wanted a similar experience. “In German Club we learn German and go on field trips.”

Fellow fifth-grader Matthew Fisher said he was looking forward to the chance to learn about German cuisine. “We might cook things one day — maybe Schnitzel.”

Besides sharing each other’s languag-es and cultures, the students also have the chance to enjoy local celebrations.

“A couple of weeks ago we went to the Mainz Fasching Parade,” said Aukamm fifth-grader Garrett Cheney, adding that he also marched in the Wiesbaden Chil-dren’s Parade with his fellow Scouts.

Students from the Helene-Lange-Schule were equally intrigued about getting together with the American counterparts, said Aichach.

“They were really excited, too, and they also felt privileged,” he said. “It was the first time having this opportunity for an exchange with an American school.

“The idea is to have a re-exchange in our school in the future,” Aichach said, adding that adjustments to the program will be made to accommodate the inter-ests of both schools.

“I think living together in one coun-try, it’s really important to learn about each other’s culture firsthand.”

That’s what Tarek Aichach, an English teacher with the Helene-Lange-Schule, had to say about a new partner-ship with Aukamm Elementary School.

“This is a good opportunity to get together — a place for both cultures to overcome stereotypes … and a nice way for the students to use their English in a real-world context — an opportunity they usually don’t get in school,” said Aichach.

About 25 students from the local German school spent the afternoon with their American peers at Aukamm Elementary School March 26. Members of Aukamm’s German Club welcomed their new exchange partners and escorted them to various classes throughout the school.

“The Parent Teacher Association provided an ice cream social for the get-together after school,” said Aukamm councilor Inge Moorman. “Parents of the German Club members provided toppings for the ice cream social.”

As the American students eagerly awaited their German visitors on the Aukamm school playground, they talked about why they wanted to participate in an exchange program.

“I just moved here, and I signed up because I knew it would be a cool experience and I wanted to know what it would be like to be with the German people,” said Aukamm fourth-grader Avagayle Geldard.

“I’m learning German in school,”

Geldard added, saying she was looking forward to new friendships and explaining the Pledge of Allegiance to the visitors.

“I’m in German Club because I want to get to know the country I’m in right now,” said Aukamm student Michael Stephens. “I have experience with penpals; in the third grade I was a penpal with a boy in a German school.”

“I’ve never done anything like this before,” said Aukamm fifth-grader Colin Kristolaitis, adding that his older brother was a penpal and that he wanted a similar experience. “In German Club we learn German and go on field trips.”

A starter, a main dish and a des-sert… this is what a traditional

French meal looks like. But which are the most traditional French desserts? Well, it all depends on the region. Alsace and Lorraine have the kugelhopf, the wine cakes and the rum baba; Provence boasts its calissons, while Brittany will spoil you with pancakes (both sweet and savoury) and “quatre-quarts” (pound cake). However, there are also tradi-tional desserts for the whole French territory such as the Yule log, the float-ing island (eggs in snow), the famous crème brûlée and many others.

The KugelhopfA yeast cake of Austrian origin,

the kugelhopf is a sort of brioche (a highly enriched bread), usually made with raisins. The recipe was introduced to Versailles by Queen Marie Antoinette. In Alsace, this crown-molded marble cake has become a traditional delicacy to be savored on Sunday morning at breakfast.

The Rum BabaResembling the kugelhopf, the

rum baba has been brought from Poland by the exiled king Stanislas. As the name says it, it is saturated in rum and filled with whipped cream.

The Quatre-QuartsAnother traditional dessert whose

recipe is partially betrayed by the name, the “quatre-quarts” (literally, four quarters) is an easy-to-make pound cake. The measure is given by the amount of eggs, to which the same number of spoonfuls of sugar, flour and butter are added.

The CalissonThis delicious dessert made of

almonds and candied fruit is a great gourmet specialty of Aix-en-Provence. Some claim its origins go back to medieval Italy, while other versions state it appeared in its modern form in 1473, when it was served at the wedding feast held on the occasion of King Rene de Anjou’s second marriage.

Crème brûléeThis delicious dessert, normally

served at room temperature, con-sists of a rich custard base and a layer of hard caramel. The custard can be flavored with vanilla, lemon, orange, chocolate, Amaretto, and others flavors. It first appeared in François Massialot‘s 1691 cookbook.

The Yule Log A traditional Christmas cake in the

whole France, the Yule log (bûche de Noel) dates back to the 17th cen-tury. Its origins lie in the custom of burning an enormous log of wood called Yule log on Christmas Eve. Although this tradition disappeared in the 19th century when the cast iron stoves appeared, replacing the traditional fireplaces, the Yule log remained on the festive tables in the form of a delicious chocolate cake.

The Floating IslandThis French dessert consists of

meringue floating on crème anglaise (a vanilla custard). The floating island is a very light dessert made ofwhipped egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract then quickly poached.Egg yolks, vanilla, and hot milk are briefly cooked to make the crème anglaise. The decoration may alsoconsist of flaked and toasted al-monds, pralines or lemon zest.

These are just of few examples of traditional French desserts. The exquisite cuisine of the wine country has been the subject of numerous books, TV shows and magazine arti-cles. Besides many other delicious dishes, desserts are a good reason to visit a French restaurant or, even better, take a short trip to France and taste the original for yourselves – living in the heart of Europe has many advantages!
