Airmen participate in Exercise Carpathian SpringStory and photo by Airman 1st Class Hailey Haux86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

More than 80 Airmen from Ramstein participated in Exercise Carpathian Spring in

Romania April 12 through 21.The exercise was designed for air-

crew to receive upgrade training as well as building partnership capacity with Romanians.

“Sequestration has forced us to be more effi cient with our training funds and hours,” said Capt. Michael Trimble, 37th Airlift Squadron C-130J Super Hercules aircraft com-mander. “We have come to Romania to maximize the training available to us. They have great airspace and ter-rain.”

While in Romania, executing effec-tive C-130J Super Hercules aircrew training was a priority.

“Aircrew conducted low-level fl y-ing and assault landings, while the Capt. Christopher Boelscher (left), Maj. Dennis Hamilton (middle) and Capt. Matthew Schoomaker (right), 37th Airlift Squadron pilots, work

together to � y more than 20 Airmen to Romania April 14 to participate in Exercise Carpathian Spring. The exercise was designed for aircrew to train as well as help build a partnership capacity with Romanians.See EXERCISE, Page 3

British, American soldiers train together in KMCStory and photo byStaff Sgt. John Zumer10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command Public Affairs

The War of 1812 is now 200 years removed, and the friendly relations

enjoyed since then by the U.S. and Great Britain have long been a source of pride between the two countries. A recent training exer-cise in the KMC, Operation Rhine Venture, continued that tradition of service members from both

countries working together for the common good.

British soldiers from the Royal Artillery School joined their American air defense counter-parts for the weeklong exercise designed to bring certain NATO countries together for profes-sional development, camaraderie and knowledge sharing on their countries’ respective air defense capabilities. German Bundeswehr forces also participated in some of the week’s activities, which

by Senior Master Sgt. Jeanna Stansbury786th Force Support Squadron superintendent

Why? Who knew a three letter word, one little question, when left unanswered could have such a tremendous effect?

It was a Saturday morning and I had just returned home from coaching my 9-year-old youth basketball team through another game toward their undefeated season. My husband’s phone rang, he came upstairs with phone still in hand and I heard him say, “We’ll be right there.” He hung up the phone and pulled me close into a hug. He whispered in my ear, “Don’s dead. He committed suicide. Diane (his wife) is there. She needs you.”

We arrived to a chaotic scene of police cars, ambulances, police members in uniform, Office of Special Investigations agents, squadron and group commanders and their wives all scram-bling around, most of them with tears in their eyes. I went to Diane, who was sitting in her car. She kept saying, “I knew he was upset. I shouldn’t have left him alone, I should have stayed with him. I should have known. I just don’t understand. I just don’t understand.”

I spent the next 16 hours with Diane trying to comfort her. She wanted to see her husband. I kept making phone calls, trying to get answers for her. All they could tell me was that the pro-cess and investigation take time. I’ve had a little experience when it comes to suicide; three of

my family members chose suicide as their solu-tion to their temporary problem. Now, a friend, a peer, a mentor had made the same choice and I was left trying to figure out why for his fam-ily, for his Airmen, for myself. Even with the experiences in my life, I couldn’t figure it out. It made no sense.

Don was the chief master sergeant of the security forces squadron, and I talked to him at least once a week. I knew he had challenges at work, but we talked about them and at the end of our conversations I always said, “You good? You know, I’m always here if you need to talk or vent.” He would say, “Na, I’m good.”

Why didn’t he take advantage of that open door? Why didn’t he use other avenues of help such as Military OneSource, Military Family Life consultants, or our chaplains who are avail-able 24/7? Why did I not see this coming? I should have known. Why did he do this to his family, his friends, his Airmen? You could see the confusion and hurt in every Airman’s eyes across the entire wing.

“If the chief made this choice, what do I do when I have a problem?”

Our job as leaders is to let the Airmen know they always have other options and there is always another choice they can make. For the next few weeks our marching orders were “eyes on every Airman.” Because if we missed it with the chief, who else have we missed?

A year later, I still don’t know why, but I can share with you why not. There is always another

solution, whatever it may be, that you can live with. You may just have to work toward it. Why not? Because suicide is one of the most selfish acts you can choose.

Your choice causes so much pain and anguish for the family and friends left behind; they are the ones who suffer for your choice.

Why not? Because your family, more than 300,000 Airmen, is willing to help you through your problem.

We have an entire staff at the mental health clinic dedicated to helping you do just that — work through your problem. For those Airmen who have heard that going to mental health will affect their career, you heard wrong. I’ve been going off and on for the past few years for vari-ous problems I’ve faced, both professionally and personally, and I have worked through each and every one of them with a little help. I’m willing to bet that the 59 Airmen in 2012 who chose a permanent solution to their temporary problem would have been able to work though theirs as well.

Did you know you can get help with your problem through Military OneSource, over the phone, face-to-face or even online and no one has to know?

I promise there is another solution, and if you can’t figure it out on your own then someone will help you. All you have to do is ask. Don’t leave your family, friends, co-workers with that one question they’ll never get the answer to — why?

WHY? The question after suicide

ended in a reception and gift exchange among the participants.

The evolution of the Patriot Missile systems since Operation Desert Storm in 1991, radar, and other techno-logical improvements and doctrinal launching procedures were just a few of the topics covered during the exchange. While the countries involved may not share all of the same equipment or standard operating pro-cedures with their air defense systems, there was still plenty of interest from all in learning about each other’s way

of conducting business. Participants from each country were

quick to cite the many benefits gained from the exercise and hoped the event could be repeated.

“It gives us a chance to learn how they (the British) operate, understand their battlefield personnel structure and build relationships with one of our strongest NATO allies,” said U.S. Army Capt. Todd Coppedge, commander of Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command.

Activities at Rhine Ordnance

Barracks saw many of the British get-ting their first glimpse of the Patriot Missile. The exchange was hardly one-sided, however.

“My Soldiers also have a chance to show their capabilities, and we had a chance to learn from each other,” Coppedge said.

The British soldiers who partici-pated agreed, grateful for their chance to see new weapons systems and share their experiences with NATO com-rades-in-arms.

“It’s been a really good experi-ence, and I’d absolutely do it again if given the chance,” said British army

Staff Sgt. Dillen Atkinson, a tactical commander for an unmanned aeri-al system. Along with many of his colleagues from the Royal Artillery School on the exercise, he will soon take the experience gleaned to his pending assignment as instructor at the school.

For the Soldiers of the 10th AAMDC who hosted many of the Operation Rhine Venture events, the knowledge passed along was happily and readily shared.

“They’ve been asking a lot of great questions, and my guys have answered them,” Coppedge said.

Story and photo by Airman 1st Class Trevor Rhynes86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Hundreds of thousands of children spend nights, days and weeks sleeping and living outside — in foster care.

In support of those children, mem-bers of the KMC raised money by spending a night sleeping outside. The 60 volunteers were only allowed to bring a sleeping bag or a cardboard box and the clothes on their back.

The Solidarity Sleep Out event was put together by members of Ramstein High School’s Keystone Club, a lead-ership program that offers its members volunteer opportunities.

“This year, they chose to do a proj-ect relating to the homeless teens in the states, so (the students) could raise awareness to the epidemic there where over 1 million homeless chil-dren are,” said Kaureen Whittaker, Ramstein youth programs assistant director. “The goal was just to raise awareness of what homeless youth are facing in the states, since military children aren’t exposed to those youth’s hardships.”

Senior Airman Brittany Davis, 786th Force Support Squadron and co-coordinator for the sleep out, offered her personal experience, since she spent

part of her childhood homeless. In addition to rais-ing awareness, the event also raised money to send back to the Covenant House in support of their programs.

“We partnered up with Airman Davis who shared her story and the traumatic events she went through as a child and how the Covenant House essentially saved her life,” Whittaker said. “The project was inspired by her, and because of the topic of our project we were able to help her come up with this

event. Our goal was to raise $2,000, and before the event even began, we had surpassed that goal by more than $1,000.”

The money raised will be used to support the Covenant House’s many programs, ranging from providing food to education.

“The Covenant House is dedicated to homeless youth, from young chil-dren all the way up to people 22 years old,” Davis said. “The houses are spread throughout the states and offer its members food, shelter, water, cloth-ing and basic essentials in addition to giving children an education and help-ing its members get jobs.”

Sharing her story wasn’t her only goal. Davis also wanted to get the vol-unteers to help others.

“The best outcome I hope to get from sharing my story and putting this

event together would be for those who participate to pay it forward,” she said. “I want the participants to learn enough that when they leave here they can go back and use it to try and help someone who needs it.”

Donations are being accepted until the end of April. If you’re interested in donating, visit http://covhou.convio.net/site/TR?team_id=1700&pg=team&fr_id=1040&et=pchL5_MH2mFwIxaNBDaPkQ&s_tafId=1080.

435th Contingency Response Group operated drop zones and supported foreign jump-ers,” said Capt. Bradley Buinicky, 86th Operations Support Squadron chief of current operations. “For members of the 86th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, it gave them good exposure to doing their job in a different location.”

Being gone for more than a night required several Airmen from the 86th AMXS to ensure the aircraft were prop-erly maintained.

“We were able to interact with the Romanians and see how they do things mainte-nance wise,” said Senior Airman Sean Acebedo, 86th AMXS engine mechanic. “It was a good training mission for us to be able to support.”

Romanian military mem-bers observed and became familiarized with mainte-nance, drop zone operations and pallet building, said Buinicky.

“This is our fifth year of training with the 37th (Airlift

Squadron),” said Romanian Brig. Gen. Adrian Ciolponea, 6th Special Operation Brigade commander. “It’s always a pleasure and we learn a lot from NCOs and officers, pilots and aircrew. They are all professionals in this job.”

Condensing what would have been a month or two of training in Germany, the aircrew was able to get all the training needed in a little more than a week in Romania.

Six pilots were upgraded and two loadmasters met all qualifications to drop person-nel during the training.

Overall, more than 250 Romanian paratroopers were airdropped with about 350 night-vision goggle events over the course of the 10 days.

“It’s going very well,” Trimble said. “We have had excellent jumps, great training for the aircrew, the weather has been spectacu-lar and the support from the Romanians has been very generous. We have nothing to complain about.”

CHECK YOUR SPEEDIf you haven’t already noticed the speed limit signs at installation entry and exit

points, please take note. These areas are designated as 30 kph zones based on the high amount of pedestrian, bike and vehicle traffic entering and exiting the base on a daily basis.

Due to the high volume of traffic and congestion at the base gates, the 86th Airlift Wing implemented these speed limits to avoid mishaps and accidents to ensure everyone’s safety as they commute through these areas. Drivers will encounter multiple speed bumps, barriers and bollards as they approach and pass through the gates. Too often, however, drivers accelerate after the last speed bump racing upward of 50 kph in a 30 kph zone, which doesn’t end for quite some dis-tance down the road. The 86th AW went as far as installing digital speed readers to alert the drivers to their speed and keep everyone’s attention focused on safe operation of motor vehicles in these areas.

Just in case you didn’t know, security forces has and will continue to randomly post LEIVTEC camera speed systems at installation entry and exit points to capture those who excessively speed in these areas. Much like the camera speed sys-tem off-base, this system is unmanned and violators will receive a citation shortly thereafter, which could bring a suspension of driving privileges with it. Please contribute to the safety of our civilians and Airmen working at the gates as well as the safety of pedestrians and motorists, just slow down, pay close attention and maintain the posted speed limit in these areas.

Munitions Airman blows away competitionStory and photo by Airman 1st Class Holly Cook86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Senior Airman Matthew Brown, 86th Munitions Squadron munitions system technician, was recent-ly awarded the Conventional Munitions Systems Maintainer Technician of the Year award for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.

“I’m excited to have won this award,” Brown said. “It feels good to see that my hard work has paid off.”

Hard work is nothing new for Brown. As a mem-ber of 86th MUNS, he supports munitions custody accounts for more than four different countries.

Assisting military members around the world is just one of Brown’s primary duties.

“My main goal is to supply warfighters around the world with what they need to get the job done,” Brown said.

Along with distributing munitions to military mem-bers, Brown also conducts inventories and inspections, validates allocations and processes expenditures.

“Brown is a very dedicated and technically sound Airman,” said Tech. Sgt. John Morris, Brown’s super-visor. “He is well deserving of this award.”

Utilizing his work ethic and dedication, Brown is no stranger to success.

He won Airman of the Year at the squadron level when he was stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C.

361st Civil Affairs Brigade holds assumption of commandStory and photo by Sgt. Daniel J. Friedberg7th Civil Support Command, 221st Public Affairs Detachment, 21st Theater Sustainment Command

Col. Miguel A. Castellanos assumed command of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 7th Civil Support Command’s 361st Civil Affairs Brigade in a ceremony April 21 at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center gymnasium.

The 7th CSC is the only U.S. Army Reserve command stationed outside the continental U.S.

Officiating the ceremony was Brig. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, the 7th CSC commanding general. In his remarks, Benenati expressed a feeling of honor to be standing in front of the formation and also recognized former acting commander Lt. Col. James L. DeRose III for his leadership until a permanent commander was assigned.

Benenati praised the 361st CA Bde. for its significant importance in military history.

Before turning the podium over to Castellanos, Benenati stressed the importance of the Army Reserve as a cost-effective force for the future of U.S. national defense needs.

“The Army cannot go to war without us,” Benenati said.

Castellanos stressed to his new unit the importance of enhancing relationships with allied partner nations.

Castellanos’ most recent assignment was with the 7th Psychological Operations Group

at Moffett Field, Calif., where he was the deputy commander and served as acting group commander for 16 months.

Castellanos has held various leadership positions in Germany, the U.S. and through his deployments to the Middle East and Africa, since receiving his commission as an infantry officer in 1987.

Castellanos also served a year-long tour with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Ga. and is authorized to wear the “President’s Hundred” tab for his demon-strated marksmanship abilities.

The colonel has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Arts from The California State University and a masters degree in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle, Penn.

Castellanos promised his Soldiers to give his best and said he too would be expecting the best of his new unit. He also expressed his gratitude to his new Soldiers.

“I thank you for your service,” he said. The 361st CA Bde. was activated as part

of the 7th CSC on Sept. 17, 2010, at Daenner Kaserne in Kaiserslautern.

Since that time, the unit’s Soldiers have deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. They have also supported various U.S. and international oper-ations and exercises.

Also in attendance at the ceremony were members of Castellanos’ family, some of his friends and dignitaries including Col. Wiebe Baron, Royal Netherlands Army.

Three U.S. Postal Service inspec-tors visited with members of the 86th Communications

Squadron April 19 at the Ramstein Northside Post Office.

The purpose of the visit was to observe the day-to-day functions of the Department of Defense’s largest postal operation.

“The USPS came to see how we do things,” said Tech. Sgt. Jamal Graham, Northside Post Office post-master. “We had been recognized as the best in USAFE, so they wanted to see what we do.”

Senior Airman Chelsea Kemper, Northside Post Office custodian of postal effects, briefed the inspec-tors on the different sections within the post office. She discussed the procedures for parcel service center, finance, receipt and delivery, customer service, official mail and registered mail sections.

“What we do on a daily basis is important to our customers,” said Kemper, who has been stationed at Ramstein since October 2011. “I enjoy helping the customer…The more we know, the better the customer service we can give.”

The USPS inspectors discussed customer service, security issues and challenges facing the post office which received seven million pounds of mail last year. In particular, the

inspectors marked the cleanliness and organization of the post office grounds and its importance to effective postal operations.

“I have to say this is extremely impressive,” said Gregory Crabb, U.S. Postal Inspection Service inspector in charge of revenue, product and global security. “With as many boxes and packages as you have, this is impres-sive.”

The 86th CS Airmen continue to make improvements towards their goal to be the best in the Air Force.

“We are opening up a separate branch office for customer service. This will help us have better connec-tion with the community and be able to help with customers questions lon-ger than we are currently,” Graham said. “We are opening a ‘click and ship’ line to help get the customers

in and out of the post office quicker. Since ‘click and ship’ packages are already paid for, we can expedite the process so customers do not have to wait.”

The Northside Post Office was named best in U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa and second best in the Air Force for Information Dominance Large Postal Facility in 2012.

USAFE-AFAFRICA considers reduction in forces actionsby Capt. Reba GoodU.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa Public Affairs

Air Force offi-cials announced April 17 that approximate-

ly 60 Air Force installations will implement the service’s civilian Reduction in Force authority effective through September to assist in the placement of employees not assigned against funded positions (termed “surplus employees”).

Manpower specialists esti-mate the RIF may affect up to 20 employees in United States Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa.

However, the final num-ber of employees selected for involuntary separation will not be determined until the RIF process closes.

According to the Air Force, the decision to conduct a civilian RIF depends on whether each installation has a surplus number of employ-ees, but these employees may not necessarily be placed for involuntary separation. If affected, employees will receive notification at least 60 days prior to adverse action.

The USAFE-AFAFRICA Personnel Division is explor-ing all options to minimize the impact of the RIF and is researching incentive offers for surplus employ-

ees to voluntarily separate or retire, according to Monique Botting, USAFE-AFAFRICA Personnel Division chief.

“We are doing everything we can to ensure that our USAFE-AFAFRICA employ-ees have multiple options available to them, so they can make the best decisions for their future,” she said. “We are here to assist in any way, especially since they are cur-rently living overseas.”

Throughout the process, manpower specialists across the Air Force will contin-ue to match selected civil-ians against vacancies for which they qualify in the local area and for potential state-side opportunities until sepa-ration.

If selected for separation due to the RIF, some employ-ees may be eligible for a per-manent change of station to their home of record.

Once separated, some civil-ians may have priority entitle-ments for re-employment for 12 months at their home of record location.

To meet the funding tar-gets in the President’s fiscal 2012 budget, the Air Force was required to reduce more than 16,000 civilian positions.

The Air Force success-fully reduced approximate-ly 15,000 positions, mini-mizing adverse impact to civilian personnel; howev-er, the service must imple-ment its RIF authority, which will provide options to

help place most of the remain-ing surplus employees.

RIF procedures offer the Air Force greater flexibility in removing civilians from surplus positions by placing them at other positions on the installations while potentially retaining their grade or pay.

In addition, RIF procedures authorize eligible employ-ees who cannot immediately be placed in local vacan-cies to be registered in the DOD Priority Placement Program.

The civilian reductions started in fiscal 2012 and are not related to the current sequestration actions.

The Theater Logistics Support Center-Europe host-ed a groundbreaking cer-emony to mark the begin-ning of construction of a fuel purging center April 12 at the Kaiserslautern Army Depot.

The groundbreaking involved the traditional dig-ging up the first shovel full of earth and was followed with a plaque presentation.

Included in the ceremoni-al digging were: Maj. Gen. Aundre F. Piggee, Helmut Haufe, Andreas Schepers, Norbert Hoebel, Donna L. Street and Paul Lindemer.

After digging up the dirt,

Street, the chief of the engi-neering and construction division, Army Corps of Engineers, presented Piggee, the commanding general of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command, with a plaque to mark the occasion.

“This project is going to increase the readiness of our Soldiers and compensate for a facility we were using but had to be closed,” Piggee said. “Fortunately, we have the resources in order to make this project a reality, especial-ly during a time of sequestra-tion.”

All vehicles being retro-graded or serviced by the TLSC-E must be purged of fuel, a service original-ly performed in Mannheim, Germany. With the closing of military instal-lations, the facility that purged vehicles also closed. Since then, contractors were

used to perform this service.“This facility will enable

us to perform fuel purg-ing on fuel tank trailers and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks right here in Kaiserslautern,” said Frank Bernhard, the special assistant to the general manager of the TLSC-E. “This station will keep units ready while saving the Army money.”

The fuel purging station

will be completed in March 2014.

“This facility is the result of efforts from the Theater Logistics Sustainment Center Europe, Army Corps of Engineers and the LBB (Landesbetrieb),” Piggee said. “I am confident that this facility will be completed on time, and we will continue our great support to U.S. Army Europe.”

21st TSC holds graduation for Lean Six Sigma black beltsStory and photo by Staff Sgt. Warren W. Wright Jr.21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

The 21st Theater Sustainment Command formally recognized a graduating class of 12 newly trained Lean Six Sigma black belts during a ceremony April 18 on Panzer Kaserne.

The new black belts, nine of which are from the 21st TSC, will be respon-sible for implementing improvement projects within their organizations in order to increase customer satisfac-tion levels, productivity and to save money.

Throughout the course, the stu-dents “learned the full (problem-solving methodology),” said Maj. Chris Bachmann, the 21st TSC chief, Operations Research System Analysis section. “They learned a suite of tools that allows them to look at prob-lems that fit the LSS methodology in order to improve processes within their organizations.”

Thomas Axtman, the deputy chief of current operations for the 21st TSC, said he learned quite a bit.

“I learned that there is a scien-tific way to validate what we may or not know by experience is in fact the correct answer. Now I have the calculations, the equations, and the process to scientifically validate

what is correct,” he said.Bachmann agreed and said the class

was very interesting.“They asked questions, they were

interested in what they were learning, and they were able to have a good time,” he said.

Having the ability to enjoy learning was an important part of the process, Bachmann said.

“When you’re digesting as much information as we teach in the class, and if you’re not having fun at the same time, it gets very tough,” he said.

During the four-week course, which was spread out over four months, the newly graduated black belt profes-sionals learned valuable techniques and lessons which they can now take to their organizations to help save money and increase productivity.

“LSS is a great process-manage-ment tool that fosters a culture of con-tinuous improvement with a holistic process and methodology that maxi-mizes collective solutions and value by achieving improvements in cost, quality, process speed, and resource utilization. This process is especially important, given our current fiscally constrained environment,” said Col. Barry Diehl, the chief of staff for the 21st TSC.

“This is the first performance improvement initiative that I’ve seen that really makes a difference and

really has an impact,” Axtman said. “Now my long-term goal is to assist the 21st TSC and the Army by taking on these challenges and helping them to be more efficient and less wasteful in a way that makes more sense.”

The graduates represent the first ever black belt certification course which was organized and sponsored by the 21st TSC.

“For the short term at least, the 21st TSC is going to be the hub of LSS training within the (U.S. Army Europe) footprint,” Bachmann said. “This class had folks not only from the 21st TSC, but we also had folks from (Installation Management Command-

Europe), we had folks from NATO, and we had folks from USAREUR.”

Bachmann added that the next class will have the same diversity.

“Not only will we have a lot of the staff sections from the 21st represent-ed, but we will also have four individu-als from different organizations within USAREUR and two from the Air Force that have signed up,” he said.

Bachmann said he believes it’s not good enough for organizations to just send their service members and employees to the training; they must also see the value in LSS and make its incorporation a priority for the orga-nization.

The National Fire Protection Association and Ramstein KMC Fire Department remind grilling enthu-siasts and basic backyard cooks to remember grilling safety as the out-door cooking season heats up.

On average, U.S. fire departments respond to 7,900 home fires annually involving grills, hibachis or barbe-cues, causing 120 reported injuries and $80 million in property damage. Before you step out on your back patio to begin, there are a few steps you must take to ensure your propane or charcoal barbecue grill is in safe, good working order.

Fire up the grill, not the deck!• Propane and charcoal barbecue

grills must only be used outdoors. If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces, such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.

• Position grills well away from siding, deck railing, trees, leaves, brush and overhanging foliage.

• Do not place the grill in high-traf-fic areas; keep them in a safe distance from lawn games and play areas.

• Keep children and pets away from the grill area.

• Use long-handled grilling tools to give the cook plenty of clearance from heat and flames.

• Periodically, remove grease or fat buildup in trays below the grill so it cannot be ignited by a hot grill.

• Set the grill on stable ground to keep it from toppling over.

Charcoal Grills• Purchase the proper starter fluid

and store it out of reach of children and away from heat sources.

• Never add charcoal starter fluid when coals or kindling have already been ignited, and never use any flam-mable or combustible liquid other than charcoal starter fluid to get the fire going.

• When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container and remember to store your charcoal in a cool, dry place to keep it from get-ting wet.

Propane grillsCheck the propane cylinder hose

for leaks before using it for the first time each year. A light soap and water solution applied to the hose will reveal escaping propane quickly by releasing bubbles. If you determine your grill has a gas leak by smell or the soapy bubble test and there is no flame, fol-low the listed steps:

• Turn off the propane tank and grill.

• If the leak stops, get the grill ser-viced by a professional before using it again.

• If the leak does not stop, call the

fire department.If you smell gas while cooking,

immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department (112). Do not attempt to move the grill.

For more information, call

the KMC fire prevention office at 480-5940. On Landstuhl, Rhine Ordnance Barracks or Pulaski, call the Army fire prevention office at 493-4500. In case of emergency, dial 112.

KMCC hosts Drug Take-Back DayFrom the 86th Medical Group pharmacy

The 86th Medical Group pharmacy will par-ticipate in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center food court.

The event provides the public an opportu-nity to prevent medication abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescriptions.

For those who are unable to participate dur-ing this time, the 86th MDG pharmacy offers daily disposal of prescriptions through their permanent take-back drop box located in the lobby of the pharmacy. All Army pharmacy facilities in Europe take back discontinued, unwanted or expired prescription medications for disposal during regular pharmacy business hours. These services are free and anonymous, no questions asked.

The Drug Enforcement Administration con-ducts two National Prescription Drug Take-Back Days per year. Last September, Americans turned in 244 tons of prescription drugs at more

than 5,200 sites. This is the sixth time the 86th MDG has participated in the National Drug Take-Back initiative. Last year, a total of 31 Air Force locations collectively received more than 2,500 pounds of unwanted and unused medications.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that lan-guish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of pre-scription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poison-ings and overdoses due to these drugs.

Studies show that a majority of abused pre-scription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, patients are now advised that their usual methods for disposal of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose poten-tial safety and health hazards.

This event ensures medications are properly disposed of, minimizes impact on the environ-ment and allows our homes and community to become safer.


LRS implements new e-process for GMV licensingby Staff Sgt. Melanie McBride86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron

Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to get something you need for your job and you have to travel between mul-tiple work centers to get it?

The reasons for travel can vary: improper paperwork, missing signatures or simply a lack of process knowledge. To alleviate redundancy and confusion, the 86th Vehicle

Readiness Squadron utilized Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century princi-ples and implemented a new e-licensing process.

The 86th VRS issues approx-imately 3,000 government motor vehicle licenses annually. This means that 3,000 Airmen, host nation and government employees per year made sepa-rate trips to the vehicle opera-tions flight to get a new GMV license accomplished.

If anything was wrong with

the paperwork, the individual was sent away for training or to rework the documenta-tion. It is easy to comprehend the frustration of the customer when they would be forced to fight for parking and make multiple trips between offic-es; we’ve all been there!

Starting in late 2012, the vehicle operations flight office of records and licens-ing developed a new elec-tronic program designed to greatly reduce the time a

customer and vehicle control officer spend coordinating a GMV license and mitigate the amount of processing errors involved from cradle to grave.

The process is simple; the unit VCO verifies the cus-tomer’s state license and ID card information and ensures proper training was accomplished prior to sending an electronic request to OR&L.

Shortly thereafter, OR&L will email the license back to the VCO. The VCO can then

print and issue the license to the member and send them on their way. The entire process remains within the unit, encouraging simplicity and familiarity.

In today’s budget envi-ronment, all Airmen have to be forward thinking and encourage an atmosphere of continuous process improve-ment. Despite the high operations tempo and consis-tent demands, VRS continues to seek out efficiencies and make innovation a top priority.

The U.S. Army Reserve’s 7th Civil Support Command hosted a ceremony Tuesday at the Kaiserslautern Military Community Center food court to rec-ognize and celebrate the U.S. Army Reserve’s 105th birthday.

Soldiers from various 7th CSC units also conducted equipment dem-onstrations, established informational display tables and answered questions from patrons.

For more than 100 years, the USAR has been, at times, a strategic force, and after Operation Iraqi Freedom it has shifted to become an endur-ing operational force. The force was originally called the Medical Reserve Corps when it was signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt.

According to www.usar.army.mil, the National Defense Act of June 3,

1916, established the Officers Reserve Corps, then on June 4, 1920, the NDA established the Organized Reserve.

USAR Soldiers have been deployed to and participated in every major U.S. war and engagement from the Mexican “Punitive” Expedition in 1916 to World War I from 1917 to 1918 and World War II from 1941 to 1945.

Staff Sgt. Brett Fry, 7th CSC net-work operations specialist, served four years in the regular Army and nine months as an Army Reserve Soldier. For the last seven years, he has served on active duty as part of Active Guard and Reserve program.

“The U.S. Army Reserves is a great opportunity for people to serve their country,” he said. “In addition to that, the U.S. Army Reserve is an inte-gral part of the U.S. Army and cyber defense.”

According to www.usar.army.mil, the Organized Reserve was redes-ignated as the Organized Reserve

Corps on March 25, 1948. The Korean War (1950 to 1953) saw more than 240,000 Army Reserve Soldiers called to active duty. More than 70 Army Reserve units served in Korea.

“In the AGR program and the U.S. Army Reserves, in general, the duty positions are more diverse than in the regular Army,” Fry said.

On July 9, 1952, Congress offi-cially established the USAR and the Organized Reserve was deactivated. The USAR also deployed significant amounts of Soldiers to the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, to Bosnia-Kosovo, and to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

“A good analogy of how the U.S. Army Reserve works is the volunteer fire department,” said Brig. Gen. Paul M. Benenati, commanding general of the 7th CSC, in a speech before cut-ting the Army Reserve birthday cake with the youngest and oldest Soldiers in the 7th CSC.

During his remarks Benenati said that during World War II, U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers liberated Kaiserslautern, the local German town where 7th CSC is currently headquar-tered on Daenner Kaserne.

“Now, the Army Reserve is a valu-able, indispensable part of the Army,” Benenati said.

In today’s asymmetrical and ambig-uous warfare environment where there are less visible front lines, the 7th CSC mission is focused on foreign consequence management in the event of a humanitarian crisis in Europe or Africa.

“I think that the Army Reserve is very important. It’s kind of the best of both worlds,” said Spc. David Phinney, a human resource special-ist with the 406th Human Resource Company, 7th CSC. “It gives a person an opportunity to do what they love to do in and outside of the military. One-hundred-and-five years of an opportu-nity like that is a really great thing.”

409th Contracting Support Brigade selects top Soldier NCOby Rachel Clark409th Contracting Support Brigade

GRAFENWÖHR, Germany — Staff Sgt. Booker Jordan, 903rd Contingency Contracting Battalion, was named the 409th Contracting Support Brigade NCO of the year for the second consecutive year.

The 409th CSB held its annual NCO of the Year competition here March 19 to 21.

Command Sgt. Maj. Bentura Fernandez, from the 409th CSB, this competition showcased the best of the best and prepared the top NCO to represent the 409th CSB at the Army Contracting Command level.

“The Soldiers in this compe-tition represent what I believe the future of the contracting NCO corps should look like,” Fernandez said. “Besides their physical ability and outstanding Soldier skills, these NCOs have the mental acumen to represent

Army contracting and embody the complete package of an outstanding NCO.”

Competitors spent three days fac-ing a variety of physical and mental challenges to test their skills, knowl-edge and endurance. They tested their Army aptitude, contracting knowledge, physical fitness, warrior tasks and bat-tle drills relevant to today’s operating environment. They also faced board interviews and wrote essays.

For Jordan, going before the NCO board presented him with the greatest challenge.

“This year, I was the last competi-tor going in,” Jordan said. “As each person went into the board, I was left with my thoughts, which increased my nervousness.”

Competitors were also rated on their marksmanship and land navi-gation skills during day and night land navigation, proved their mettle in a grueling road march, and tested

on contracting-specific tasks writing and processing multipurpose purchase orders.

“With the support from friends and

family, there is no limit to how much one can accomplish,” Jordan said. “I had all the support in the world during this competition.”

Father presents son with combat patchStory and photo by Staff Sgt. Lynne Lantin21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — During war-time, receiving your first com-bat patch is a significant, time-honored tradition for a Soldier, but not more so than for Spc. Francisco Rodriguez, an infor-mation technology specialist with the 580th Signal Company located in Schweinfurt, Germany.

Rodriguez received his first combat patch during a ceremo-ny on Bagram Airfield March 26 from his father, Command Sgt. Maj. Ismael Rodriguez, the command sergeant major of the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade and currently deployed as the command sergeant major of Deputy Command Support Operations, NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan in Kabul.

“There’s a great significance in the combat patch,” said Rodriguez before presenting the patch to his son. “This is a memento of a brotherhood and a sisterhood that you will find nowhere else. Those bonds that we form in a time of war are unbreak-able. The combat patch is more than putting a piece of cloth on your right side. It’s much, much more than that and I’m just very happy and honored to do this to my own blood.”

For Rodriguez, presenting his son with the com-bat patch was something he hoped to do since his arrival in Afghanistan, he said.

“When we first came out here, I had already determined that I wanted that honor,” said Rodriguez, who arrived in Afghanistan one month after his son. “I talked to his chain of command and requested that they grant me the honor of patching my own son. To get a picture that I can save for

posterity where I’m patching my son, putting his very first combat patch on, that was pretty special.”

Although Francisco does not plan to continue with the military beyond his current enlistment, he said it has been one of the best things to hap-pen to him and has guided him on a new path in life. His father agrees.

“He wants to get out, go study and go another route. I don’t have a problem with it,” said Rodriguez, who has served in the U.S. Army for more than 29 years. “The military has been thoroughly beneficial to him on every level, from develop-ment to schooling. He’s also started college because of the military and tuition assistance. He’s improved in every way imaginable. He’s going to con-tinue in college studying his current military occupational specialty in information tech-nology.”

Rodriguez said he is proud of his son regardless of which path he chooses.

“As a father I’m proud that he’s the human being that he is. That’s my biggest thing,” Rodriguez said. “He’s a very loving, caring and family- oriented son. He’s a great human being and every-body that he touches loves him because of how he is: noble, down to earth, unassuming. I’m very proud of him.”

SecAF discusses Airmen’s moraleby Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Deployed Airmen are ready and motivated, but those based in the U.S. face fiscal challenges that sap morale, Air Force Secretary Michael B. Donley said here today.

“The Airmen that we send down-range are well-trained — they are pumped,” Donley told the Defense Writers Group. “There’s no doubt they are doing what they signed up to do in the military. They are doing their jobs in a combat environment.”

Donley, the longest-serving Air Force leader, said he has been struck by how connected and educated the force is.

“I can go downrange to an Airman’s call at Bagram (Airfield, Afghanistan) and get questions on sequestration,

or tuition assistance or the retirement plan,” he said.

Airmen are connected, and they follow what defense leaders and Congress are doing, the secretary said.

“They know we are living through

challenging times,” he added.In his experience, Donley said, this

“connectedness” is a change for air-men that has had an effect across the institution. Airmen listen when Congress talks about sequestration or budget cuts that last 10 years, he said. For many of the younger airmen, he noted, this is their first experiences with a constrained fiscal environment.

“Those who have been in 20 to 30 years know there are ups and downs,” he said.

Airmen also know the Air Force faces huge modernization challenges, the secretary said.

“Equipment they are operating is beyond what we thought its service life was going to be,” he said. “And they know that the training environ-ment they come back to ... is not as robust and not as demanding as it used to be.”

Donley took over as acting Air Force secretary in June 2008 after then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates asked for then-Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne to resign over concern about the Air Force’s focus and performance in its nuclear mission. That was a low point for morale in the Air Force, Donley said, adding that he believes morale has risen overall since then.

“Airmen downrange are performing magnificently,” he said. “Air Force men and women know they are mak-ing a difference in the lives of those who serve on the ground.”

The Air Force is key to operations in Afghanistan and around the world, Donley added.

“The Air Force is providing a lot of glue to hold current joint and coalition operations together,” he said.

Airmen have a variety of ways to express their creativ-ity. Some build, play music, take photographs, but one Ramstein Airman shows off his creativity by writing nov-els.

Capt. Bart Hopkins, 435th Air Ground Operations Wing meteorologist, wrote his first novel during back-to-back deployments to Bosnia.

“I found myself with more spare time while I was deployed than I do at home,” Hopkins said. “The absence of daily family activities like soccer games, scouts and school assemblies freed up

hours of each day.”The book was co-authored

with his friend, David Elliott, who Hopkins had met in 1995 while stationed at Ft. Campbell, Ky.

The majority of his first book was written while he was in Bosnia in 2001 and 2002. They were able to pick it back up in 2011 and get it published last year.

“I prefer to be with my family but when that isn’t possible, having something positive to do that I love, such as writing, helps pass the time,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins is originally from Galveston, Texas, but has lived in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Korea before being sta-tioned here.

“My dad exposed me to books early in my life, which cultivated my passion for reading. The jump from being a reader to being a writer seemed like the most natu-ral extension of something I

already loved,” Hopkins said. “Life is amazing and I find inspiration and ideas every-where. Taking ideas and cre-ating stories that people hope-fully enjoy, is simply incred-ible, almost indescribable.

There’s not much I’d rather do.”

Hopkins is now halfway finished with a first draft of his next novel, which he might get published in September.

HHC, 21st TSC host training stand-down weekby Staff Sgt. Alexander A. Burnett21st Theater Sustainment Command Public Affairs

Soldiers and Department of the Army civilians assigned to the 21st Theater Sustainment Command’s 21st Special Troops Battalion completed most of the Army’s annual mandatory training

requirements with a training stand-down week, April 15 through 19.

“Making this a reality required an abundance of coordination between local organizations, tenant units and U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern. The garrison and its organizations provided a lot of the classes we needed,” said Master Sgt. Kory Ysen, the 21st STB operations NCO. “By conducting this stand-down week, we improved the overall readi-ness of the 21st TSC.”

Command Soldiers worked diligently throughout the week to provide opportunities to every member of the “First in Support” command to complete the requirements.

The battalion offered Army physical fitness

tests twice daily on Rhine Ordnance Barracks to accommodate any schedule. Immediately after completing the APFT, Soldiers conducted height and weight screenings and personnel asset inven-tory.

“The training week was done in a very effec-tive manner,” said Sgt. 1st Class Ivan Narvaez, the construction operations NCO for the 21st TSC. “By offering the APFT and training every day, no matter what the Soldier’s schedule was, they were able to complete every task.”

The training week included daily classroom brief-ings running from 7 a.m. through 4 p.m. either at the Galaxy Theater on Vogelweh Military Complex or the Daenner Chapel on Daenner Kaserne.

Classes were taught by subject matter experts in sexual harassment assault response and prevention, child abuse and family advocacy, Army Substance Abuse Program, resiliency, Law of War, suicide pre-vention, force protection, fraternization, and equal opportunity.

Soldiers were able to conduct their weapons

qualification on the M-16A2 rifle or M9 pistol everyday at the 7th Army Training Command’s Breitenwald Range, near Landstuhl. Every firer went through the zero process to align their sites properly and a qualification range on paper targets.

Only meters away from the weapons ranges was the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear chamber. Soldiers received instruction on the proper wear of their Mission Oriented Protective Posture gear and their protective masks. After the class, physically capable Soldiers were required to enter the chamber.

“By making Soldiers run through the cham-ber, it instills confidence in their equipment while simulating what it might be like to operate in a con-taminated environment,” said Sgt. 1st Class Daryle Rogers, the CBRN operations NCO for the 21st TSC. “This whole week has been a great experi-ence I think. It allowed everyone to complete their required training in an effective and time efficient manner.”

Ramstein-Miesenbach’s sales promotion agency will sponsor its 14th trade fair Saturday and

Sunday in the center of town and at the local culture and convention center, Haus des Bürgers. Local businesses, shops and stores will show off their services, merchan-dise and products.

“More than 80 exhibitors and shop owners have registered with us to attend this regional exhibition,” said organizer Joe Felka.

Emphasis of the fair will be on construction, renovations, energy savings, gardening, and health and wellness.

Thirteen regional car dealers will display their latest models.

Ramstein and Landstuhl will show the advantages of their public swim-ming pools. Bad Sobernheim, a spa

town near Bad Kreuznach, will be available with a mobile barefoot path.

The local fire department will exhibit its fire trucks and equipment.

On Sunday, stores will be open and present special offers. On both days, visitors can enjoy a musical program.

Various stands on Marktplatz will

The fair will be conducted in cooperation with the Landstuhl sales promotion agency.

“In uneven years, we are host to the event, and in even years, the fair takes place in Landstuhl,” Felka said. “Hopefully, many peo-ple will come to visit our fair and get advice from experts.”

A representative of the Department of Commerce and Ramstein-Miesenbach’s Mayor Klaus Layes will officially open the fair at 1 p.m. Saturday. The opening ceremony will include the tapping of a keg of free beer and musical entertainment.

Fabio Montebello, known by base locals as “Fabio the gelato man,” is the base ice cream man who travels more than an hour from Worms, Germany, every day to deliver frozen treats to Team Ramstein.

“Driving around seeing the smiles on all the familiar faces is what makes the job worth it,” Montebello said. “The money seems not to matter anymore when you can have so many people you can call your friends.”

Fabio has been churning this handmade treat since he was 19 years old and has been delivering here for more than 16 years.

Fabio said he found his love for ice cream with the help of his father and stepmother, who are also in the business of frozen goods. His stepmother owns an ice cream shop, and his father dedicated more than 30 years of his life to ice cream.

“When I’m 80 I’ll still love this job,” he said. “As long as the installation will let me, I’ll always pro-vide the best gelato.”

Fabio could be considered a base celebrity with the amount of faithful customers he’s obtained over the years.

“He’s just a nice guy. I have a banana split from him almost every day,” said Helen Barkorts, Ramstein High School student. “It’s nice to see him around all the time.”

Among Fabio’s 17 different flavors, the favorite of most customers seems to be the “spaghetti ice.”

Spaghetti ice is a scoop of ice cream of your choice followed by three scoops put through a strainer that

stays true to its name. It is then topped with whipped cream, peanuts or coconuts, and a strawberry sauce that Fabio prepares fresh every day.

“It’s creative, you know,” Montebello said. “People hear the name and assume it’s not some-thing you put on ice cream, but when they see it and try it, they can’t have enough.”

It’s his imagination that draws in customers and his never-say-no attitude that keeps them coming back.

“It’s about the people even though I may not be turning a profit,” Montebello said. “Rain, sleet or snow, I’ll be there for my customers.”

Being on base for so long, Fabio has seen many of the base’s Airmen come and go, but he said it’s those lasting relationships that mean the most.

“I’d like to thank everyone for their support and appreciating what I do, because I definitely appreci-ate and respect what you guys do,” he said.

To commemorate Earth Day April 22, and throughout the week, students at Vogelweh Elementary School par-ticipated in several environmentally friendly projects, including a school-wide cleanup project. As a special assignment, one group of fourth grad-ers composed letters to the editor, some of which are printed here.

Other letters are available online at our newly improved website at www.kaiserslauternamerican.com.

DEAR EDITOR,I am writing about why litter is

awful for Vogelweh and the earth. Litter is terrible for Vogelweh because it makes the streets, our homes, and school grounds look dirty. When people throw trash away in trash cans with no lids the trash will blow away and can go into a lake or ocean. Also, some people don’t even throw trash in the garbage cans and people have to pick up after them.

Litter in Vogelweh can affect fi sh and other sea creatures. If trash blows into the ocean or lake they can eat it, get sick, and even die. Trash can hurt animals by polluting nature and some animals might die out. Over 80% of marine pollution comes from land based activities according to World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

If we throw away waste on land it

can damage our soil and water sourc-es. Trash and chemicals can affect people, because the soil and water are poisoned. This means we can’t drink the water or eat the food that comes from the ground.

Some of my friends at Vogelweh picked up three bags of trash around the grounds of Vogelweh Elementary. The problem is that there is too much litter. But I have a solution.

I suggest that if a student picks up a piece of trash they should be awarded a “caught being good” ticket. Also there is an event coming up for Earth Day, and I think students should go around school picking up trash and then make a craft out of the stuff they found.

I just read the Kaiserslatern American (KA for short) and saw the announcement for annual spring clean up. They are having a community clean up so our base won’t look dirty and ugly. And this will help our envi-ronment so animals won’t get harmed by trash from Vogelweh.

Sincerely, Gracyn Redding DEAR EDITOR,I am writing because I am concerned

about pollution. It is bad because over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution each

year. Also every day that a ship sits at dock unloading it releases a ton of smog and toxic, yes TOXIC, pol-lution. On base people have been going on base have been going into stores and leaving their cars on releas-ing deadly gases into the atmosphere. My plan to stop this is to post posters around base to stop pollution.

Sincerely, Taylor Bynum

DEAR EDITOR,Earth day is where you would clean

up your community. You would clean up the fl oors your house and the wall. We could start from 9:30 to 12:00. You would clean up like canes and paper. People that are older than 60 they can stay home. We should also be off of school and work. So when we work on picking up the trash we could have a break from 11:00 to 11:15. Litter is one kind pollution. Crowds of people often leave lots of litter behind.

Sincerely,Anthony Williams

Family members of fallen ser-vice members now have special parking spots near several facili-ties in the Baumholder commu-nity. On April 16, six signs were posted to reserve a special place for those family members near facilities like the post exchange, commissary, health clinic, Army Community Services, Directorate of Human Resources and the post office.

U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern has also installed similar signs at its facilities, and Baumholder families are also free to use these special parking spots.

Installation of the signs was an initiative from Army Community Service and the Survivors Outreach Services office. Please respect these spots and the sacri-fice of the families of fallen ser-vice members.

New procedures for Ramstein Bazaar food vendor applicantsby Susan SharpeRamstein Welfare Bazaar

Preparations for the 49th annu-al Ramstein Welfare Bazaar have already begun. Mark your calendars for Sept. 12 to 15.

This year, the bazaar committee has announced a new food vendor selec-tion process for private organizations that would like to participate. Food vendors will now be chosen on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis.

Ramstein private organizations that are registered with the 86th Force Support Squadron can now print an application and rules from the Ramstein Offi cers’ Spouses Club website.

The committee will set up at the Ramstein Offi cers’ Club from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. May 14 in the Wings Lounge. Lines will start forming at the front door of the club. Representatives from interested private organizations should bring their completed paper-work to the club that morning with a check for $185 to reserve a space.

Private organizations that are chosen as alternates will also be required to submit a check for the space fee. This fee will be refunded if they do not ulti-mately participate in the bazaar. These checks will not be deposited until after the July 4 festivities.

The bazaar committee recommends organizations come prepared with a list of at least fi ve different food items they would like to sell at the bazaar. In order to provide customers with the greatest variety of food items, the committee will limit particular food items to one or two vendors (i.e. only two vendors will be allowed to sell hot dogs or bratwurst). Private orga-nizations that arrive early will have the best chance of getting their top

choices. Organizations that are chosen must participate in mandatory food safety briefi ng, which will be held at the beginning of August. They will then be required to submit an addi-tional check for $200 for the refund-able cleaning fee.

Registered private organizations on Ramstein that have not already done their two yearly fundraisers are eligible to apply for a food vendor slot.

For more information or to down-load a form, go to the ROSC Bazaar website at www.ramsteinbazaar.org. If you need additional information, click on the contact tab on the website, which will allow you to submit your questions.

Witches to play tricks Tuesday on ‘Hexennacht’by Petra Lessoing86th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

Germans observe their Labor Day on Wednesday. May 1 is also a day to welcome spring and chase away the demons of winter the night before.

The night of April 30 is known as “Hexennacht,” or witches night. On Hexennacht, those living off base should keep a watchful eye on their houses and vehicles Tuesday night.

Customarily, children and teenagers play tricks on their neighbors. Tricks include doorbell-ditch-ing, smearing mustard on door handles, hiding floor mats and trash cans, removing garden gates, and wrapping cars in toilet paper.

To be on the safe side, residents should take some precautionary measures, such as parking their cars in the garage and bringing their belongings inside.

Sometimes, older children or adults do destruc-tive things like lifting drainage covers in the middle of the road or moving traffic signs. Because of this, motorists are asked to be very careful keep a close eye out. These actions create safety hazards and result in property damage.

German police will patrol the neigh-borhoods Tuesday night and take appro-priate action if necessary.

Legend says that during Hexennacht, evil ghosts represented by cold weather, snow and darkness met with witches and demons at Blocksberg hill in the Harz mountains. There, they got into mischief before they took off on broomsticks, pitchforks and billy goats at midnight.

The origin of witches night goes back to pagan times, when people believed evil ghosts tried to prevent the “Queen of Spring” from

entering the country. Witches and demons were masters of people and things, so people did a lot to protect themselves.

They hid billy goats and broomsticks so witches would not be able to ride on them through the night and do evil things. It was an unwritten law that chil-

dren must not get beaten with a broomstick, because it could be a witch’s tool.

Also, socks were put cross-shaped on children’s beds, pentagrams were put over house entrances, or sacred salt was scattered over the threshold. Residents used several herbs known to ban witches to smoke out houses and stables. Herbs included rue, St. John’s wort and juniper.

Men made a lot of noise with whips and gun shots and lit fires to scare away demons. Cattle was driven

through the fire to secure its fertility for the follow-ing year, and young couples jumped over the fire to make sure their love would last forever.

Witches night is also called “Walpurgis” night. Walpurga was an English saint who worked as a missionary in Germany in the eighth century. In 761, she became the abbess of a monastery in Heidenheim, which was founded by her two broth-

ers, Willibald and Wunibald, who also were saints. She was known for exorcising demons from the bodies of the sick. Walpurga died in

779, and on May 1, 871, her body was trans-ported to Eischstäett to be reburied next to her brothers. Another German tradition to observe the begin-

ning of May is to “dance into May.” Various asso-ciations and sports clubs sponsor “Tanz in den Mai” with live music in community halls, sports gyms, gasthauses or other facilities that house dancing halls.

In several villages in the KMC, the May tree will be put up the evening of April 30 or on the morning of May 1. Sometimes, this ceremony is combined with a village fest.

The May tree usually is a fir with its lower branches stripped and only the treetop untouched. The pole is decorated with colorful ribbons and craftsmen’s trade ornaments like sausages for the butchers, pretzels for the bakers, or carved wooden figures. May poles symbolize the beginning of spring and hope for a good harvest.

The legal holiday of Labor Day commemorates May 1, 1890, when the day was proclaimed as the day of the working class by the first international workers’ congress in Paris. It was a day to fight for an eight-hour workday and other working-class rights. Trade unions and workers meet for assem-blies, demonstrations and political speeches.

Avignon: historical hotspot of Franceby Meghan AugsburgerRamstein High School intern

Visiting the provence and the French city of Avignon is like experiencing a time warp. Founded on hundreds of years of history, the entire region reflects its ancient heritage through its architecture and culture. One could say it’s a true “Roman holiday.”

City AttractionsTracing its roots beyond the Roman

Empire, Avignon developed its culture from many different influences. Its strongest architectural features resem-ble those of the papal era between 1309 and 1376.

One of the most popular sites in the city stems from the papal time period. Located near the center of Avignon, the Palais des Papes (Pope’s Palace) is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site with plenty of historical chambers to discover.

English audio guides are recom-mended for those who do not read or speak French.

Pont Saint Bénezet, a portion of a 12th century bridge, attracts many tourists as well.

Directly next to the palace is the Cathédrale d’Avignon, a magnificent church built during the 12th century. Located within the cathedral are the tomb of Pope John XXII and papal robes and relics, dating back hundreds of years.

Across the Rhône River is Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, a small town that has several interesting attractions. At the top of the town stands Fort Saint André. It offers breathtaking views of Avignon and a beautiful gar-den to admire.

Down below is a monastery called

the Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction that features a replica of a monk’s liv-ing quarters, frescoes and a unique church that has one missing wall.

A special exhibit has been placed inside the church to provide images of how it would have looked hundreds of years ago with its wall.

Avignon has plenty of museums to visit, too. Many provide art exhibits while others focus on regional special-ties such as lavender, wine, soap and perfume.

Sightseeing Outside of Avignon Roman ruins are scattered around

Southern France and are perfect for quick excursions. Cities such as Orange, Nimes and Arles integrated Roman architecture into modern day society.

Orange houses one of the three intact theater walls of the Roman Empire. The remaining two are locat-ed in Syria and Turkey.

Within the theater wall, two col-umns and a statue of the emperor still stand, adding to the historical atmo-sphere. While in the city, don’t miss the Roman triumphal arch, covered in intricate carvings and designs.

Arles, the town made famous by Van Gogh’s paintings, also features a variety of Roman monuments. Near Arles’ city center is the arena, which still hosts bullfighting events, and the amphitheater ruins.

For art enthusiasts, the city of Arles offers walking routes that pass famous sites that Van Gogh painted.

On the outskirts of the town, there is a Roman graveyard called Les Alyscamps. In Arles, the Romans did not bury their dead. Instead, they were placed in stone coffins and left above ground.

When the city was pillaged, the sarcophagi were destroyed or used as feed troughs. Now, portions of these coffins lie broken along the pathway to the church, which was built in the 12th century.

Nimes features an amphitheater that has been well preserved, representing a smaller version of the Colosseum in Rome. The Maison Carree, an ancient Roman temple, also lasted through the ages and can still be admired in its original form.

The most astonishing sight located only 30 minutes from Avignon is the Pont du Gard, an ancient Roman aque-duct. The three-tiered masterpiece of hydraulic engineering is an ideal loca-tion for taking beautiful photos.

Parking at the Pont du Gard costs €18, which covers the admission price for the museum. Inside the museum, interactive exhibits on the purpose of the aqueduct and how it affected Roman life are available and perfect for families.

If planning on visiting more than once, it is worth it to buy a yearlong pass for €23, which covers the cost of parking.

The Camargue, a popular national park region, is covered in natural wet-lands, fostering many different types of animals such as wild horses and bulls. It takes around one hour and 20 minutes to drive to the park.

Along the road to Sainte Marie de la Mer, a small vacation town by the Mediterranean Sea, there are plenty of horse riding ranches and places to stop and admire nature.

Another beautiful attraction is the Camargue Ornithological Park, a sanc-tuary for native birds such as flamin-gos and herons. For those wishing to see more birds, horses or bulls in their natural habitats, there is a boat tour that travels straight through the wetlands.

Gastronomy Mirroring Italian cuisine, Provencal

dishes use plenty of olive oil, garlic and vegetable bases. Ratatouille, a vegetable stew, is served at most res-taurants. Full of zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers and tomatoes, the stew is used as a side dish, filling or full meal.

Common sauces added to dishes include aioli, a type of garlic mayon-naise, and anchovy paste.

At many restaurants, Provencal as well as traditional dishes are listed. Escargot (snails with parsley and gar-lic), Crouqe Monsier (grilled ham and cheese sandwich), a variety of baguettes, and different wine-based stews are commonly found on menus.

Due to its close proximity to the sea, cuisine often features different kinds of fish. Bouillabaisse, a popular Provencal soup, is made with various types of fish, onions, tomatoes, saffron and Herbes de Provence.

Herbes de Provence, a common-ly used herb mixture, contains dried basil, marjoram, thyme, savory, rose-mary and sage.

Though traditionally classified as Spanish cuisine, Paella is also com-monly served in cafes and restaurants in southern France.

Delicacies of the Camargue region include Fleur de Sel (sea salt), wild rice and dishes containing bull meat.

Baumholder stood up a new data network recently that increases the speed and effi-ciency of network users in Baumholder. The

project upgraded and expanded the voice and data communication systems for the entire installation and brought the quartermaster and clinic areas onto the fiber network.

The Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program, or I3MP, upgraded Baumholder’s capacity and reliability of voice and data infrastructure.

“It was really a huge effort, upgrading and grow-ing the voice and data network, but the increased capability, reliability and trustworthiness of the network made it more than worth it,” said Lorinda Risley, I3MP lead for the Network Enterprise Center.

Siemens Government Technologies Inc. was the contracted company responsible for upgrading Baumholder’s communication infrastructure. The company is a leading integrator of Siemens innova-tive technologies and solutions for mission-critical programs within the Departments of Defense, State and Homeland Security.

The $14 million project began with the first site survey in 2007. Actual construction started in late 2011, coming to completion in March.

The Network Enterprise Center migrated close to 300 network devices and 1,600 users to the new network within a 30 day period.

The installation is now set, from an information infrastructure standpoint for future customers and growth.

“With technology always improving, something had to be put in place that will allow all forms of communication flow and allow for future technolo-gies to be rapidly incorporated into the network,” Risley said. “This fiber backbone supports high speed internet data, voice-over-Internet-protocol, video teleconferencing, security devices, and utility monitoring devices over long distances.

“The amount of cooperation and teamwork on

this project by all members of the community has been phenomenal,” Risley continued. “It was a plea-sure working with such wonderful professionals and people that truly cared what was left behind for the community when the project was completed. I’m proud of what has been accomplished and of the team that has worked so hard. We are now ready to expand where needed and ensure our warfighters can train as they fight.”

Lt. Col. Louis L. King, assistant product manager-Europe; Lt. Col. Nathan J. Bollinger, 102nd Signal Battalion commander; Lt. Col. Michael “Sully” Sullivan; and Bernhard Sandmaier, Nokia Siemens networks manager, team up for a ribbon cutting to commemorate the official completion of the Installation Information Infrastructure Modernization Program.

Save tax on imported vehiclesby Robert SzostekU.S. European Command Customs Public Affairs

HEIDELBERG, Germany — U.S. personnel stationed overseas can ship vehicles to the U.S. free of fed-eral tax and duty. This exemption means big savings if you meet three conditions. You must take physical possession of the vehicle prior to shipment, have valid PCS orders and import it for personal use. However, the exemption does not free you from state taxation.

“Most people who miss out on the exemption do not take physi-cal possession of the vehicle before shipment,” said Mike Dean, director of the European Command’s Customs and Border Clearance Agency. “If you have a car shipped directly from the factory, you risk having to pay the 2.5 percent federal import duty.”

Registering a vehicle is the best way to show possession, but you can also prove it by simply putting a copy of your permanent change of station orders in the glove compartment.

Second, you must have a set of official PCS orders in hand before shipping a vehicle. The exemption is not for people on extended leave or temporary duty.

Third, the vehicle must be for your personal use or for use by immediate family members.

“If you had six dependents of driv-ing age,” Dean said, “you could jus-tify importing seven vehicles duty-free; one for each of them and one for yourself.”

However, it is illegal to use the exemption to import vehicles for third

parties or in order to sell them.People importing vehicles as part of

a PCS can save federal duties and taxes, but state taxes on imported vehicles can be high. You can obtain state tax information from the relevant depart-ment of motor vehicles and Internet links to these can be found online at www.hqusareur.army.mil/rmv/ stateside_dmvs.htm.

Call a military customs office to find out more about federal customs exemptions or your local transporta-tion office to learn about shipping procedures and fees.

Special race for wounded warriors to be held April 30GARMISCH, GERMANY — A

special adventure race experience for wounded warriors is scheduled to take place Tuesday here. The event is sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project, American Red Cross, Army Community Services and Garmisch Outdoor Recreation.

“The Red Cross collaborates with partnering agencies and the military community to provide the best service and support to Soldiers.

This is a great opportunity to col-laborate with the Wounded Warrior Project and local Army agencies to bring awareness, provide a fun event to wounded Soldiers and provide resiliency and variety in the recovery process,” said Senior Station Manager Mark Hooper.

More than 50,000 servicemen and

women have been injured in the recent military conflicts. In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a trau-matic brain injury while on deploy-ment.

The Wounded Warrior Project offers 18 diverse programs and ser-vices designed to provide a holistic approach to recovery.

“At WWP, we set up our pro-grams and services to engage war-riors, nurture their minds and bodies and encourage economic empower-ment,” said Bruce Nitsche, execu-tive vice president of special

projects for the Wounded Warrior Project. “Organizations like the American Red Cross provide critical services, and we know true success lies in collaboration. Together we can fulfill our vision of the most success-ful and well-adjusted generation of wounded veterans in our nation’s his-tory.”

Red Cross volunteers and staff from around Europe, as well as mem-bers from WWP’s Combat Stress & Recovery Program team and WWP’s Germany outreach staff, will be in Garmisch to provide support and cheer on the 20 teams of three during the race, modeled after the “Amazing Race” television show.

Teams will have to overcome obsta-cles, work through challenges and race through the course for prizes and

vie for placement on the winner podi-um. Each team will consist of at least one wounded service member and will compete in a series of fun chal-lenges as they race across the beauti-ful Garmisch valley.

To help wounded service members pursue life goals without the barri-ers or stigmas associated with mental health, they will be able to participate in resiliency training, a post-traumatic stress forum and take an “All Things Garmisch” cultural tour. They may also participate in a Red Cross Healing Arts class scheduled for May 3.

For more information, contact Tammie Pech at 475-1760 or 09641-83-1760, or by email at [email protected].

Safe Haven (PG-13) — An affi rming and suspenseful story about a young woman’s struggle to fi nd love again after she arrives in a small North Carolina town. Her reluctance to join the tight-knit community raises ques-tions about her past. Slowly, she begins putting down roots, and gains the courage to start a relationship with Alex, a widowed store owner with two young children.

Starring Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel.

The Big Wedding (R) — “The Big Wedding” is an uproarious romantic comedy about a charm-ingly modern family try-

ing to survive a weekend wedding celebration that has the potential to become a full blown family fiasco. To the amusement of their adult children and friends, long divorced couple Don and Ellie Griffin are once again

forced to play the happy couple for the sake of their adopted son’s wedding after his ultra conservative biological mother unexpect-edly decides to fly halfway across the world

to attend. With all of the wedding guests looking on, the Griffins are hilarious-ly forced to confront their past, present and future.

Starring Amanda Seyfried and Robert De Niro.
