Lost in the woods when it comes to recycling in Germany? See page 12 to sort out the mess.
Germany recycles roughly half of all of its waste, making it the top recycler in all of Europe. This feat is achieved through extensive and sometimes complicated trash sorting procedures that start in the home, and can be daunting for some newcomers. Knowing what garbage goes where is the first step to success. — Photo by Shutterstock.com

Commentary: Veterans continuing to serve By Kathleen Ladwig
Veterans Day is Nov. 11. As we take the time to thank those who have given us military service, let’s also take time to thank people who are still serving in another way — family serving family at the Exchange. Many veterans have found that working at the Exchange is exactly where they belong so they can continue to serve those who serve. At Exchanges around the world, veterans are found in nearly every job, from warehouses to food services to cash registers, from the director’s office to field managers and associates. They know what being on the front lines is all about and truly understand the Exchange mission: “We go where you go to improve the quality of your life through the goods and services we provide.” Every day, these veterans who work at the Exchange know the Soldiers or Airmen they serve are “brothers” or “sisters” who are facing the same challenges and struggles they faced when they were in the military. They know the commitment that military members make. The veterans who are still serving are an inspiration to other associates and often lead by example, showing that kind words, courtesy and appreciation can go a long way to helping someone far from home. Here are three examples of associates continuing to serve well after retiring from the military: Cary Zottolo, computer operator,
Ansbach, Germany: Zottolo was first a Soldier repairing power generators. Driven by a passion to see even more of the world, he joined
The veterans who are still serving are an inspiration to other associates and often lead by example, showing that kind words, courtesy and appreciation can go a long way to helping someone far from home. the Navy, honing his technical skills and doing welding jobs and any other ship repairs that came his way. He is a jack-of-all-trades, a valuable quality when working at the Exchange. He still serves because he said he believes he can make a difference and continue to be a valuable community member. Efrain Muniz-Crespo manages
the Patch Barracks Express, Stuttgart: He served 25 years in the Army, retiring as an infantry first sergeant in 2000. He said he truly believes that Exchange associates are a family. He says that respect is a key element in leadership, and he enjoys helping associates identify and develop their own skills. These skills are obvious: the Patch Express is well-organized, clean and spotless — and his first-rate team constantly makes improvements. Robert Kalwaitis, associate at Panzer’s main store: Kalwaitis served in the Army in both Gulf wars and in such diverse places as Honduras in South America and Fort Bragg, N.C. Kalwaitis started at the Exchange as a stocker and then moved into his current position as an inventory-control associate. He helps customers get specially-requested products, those on backorder or not in stock. Kalwaitis said he enjoys customer service, working with his team, exercising responsibility and making key decisions. The Exchange gives preferential hiring to veterans. Human Resources experts try to find jobs that fit the veterans’ skills and place them in environments that keep them as valuable team members who continue to serve. If you know a vet at your facility, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” If you are a vet, I can truly say that the entire Exchange family thanks you. Veterans are the people who make a difference.

with AFRICOM and EUCOM top medical officers As U.S. service members continue to help the international community stop the spread of Ebola, the Department of Defense (DOD) is taking steps to ensure those who deploy in support of Operation United Assistance return home safe. The senior ranking medical doctors from U.S. Africa Command, Navy Capt. David K. Weiss, and U.S. European Command, Air Force Col. John P. Mitchell, explain how the military medical community is protecting service members before, during and after deploying to West Africa. This discussion is based on recently announced DOD guidance, which also states that component and local commanders can implement more stringent screening criteria, including up to 21 days of controlled monitoring. Bottom line: We will do what is necessary and required to keep our personnel and their families safe. What is U.S. Africa Command doing to prepare personnel deploying in support of Operation United Assistance?

Capt. David K. Weiss, command surgeon, U.S. Africa Command (DW): “While our mission in West Africa will not include direct patient care, the safety of our men and women in the joint forces remains paramount for us. We’re making sure that the men and women who deploy are provided with the best training and proper protective equipment for the tasks they will be performing. All military personnel, prior to deployment, will go through extensive processing and training to ensure they are prepared to work in West Africa and have a solid understanding of how to protect themselves from contracting the virus. Our training and equipment is the best in the world and our leadership and our discipline will help ensure we accomplish our mission effectively and safely.”

During deployment the chain of command will conduct daily temperature and symptoms checks. There will be a fully equipped level 2 medical facility in Monrovia to care for all the medical issues of deployed DOD personnel. I recently returned from Liberia and I felt safe the whole time I was there. There are hand washing stations outside all public places and there are rules that emphasize no hand shaking and no bodily contact. And given the fact that we are not working with Ebola patients, I really was not concerned for my health or safety during my stay in Monrovia.”

Translating Army experience into employment USAG Bavaria Public Affairs Office
Transitioning Soldiers and Army spouses have an abundance of experience and insight to offer civilian employers, say Army experts. However, sometimes it can be difficult to translate Army experience into language that civilian employers can understand: enter the Soldier for Life - Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP). Services for the program, formerly called the Army Career and Alumni Program, or ACAP, start at least 12 months before separation — 24 months for retiring Soldiers — and are now required for Soldiers leaving the Army. But Soldiers and family members don’t have to wait to begin taking steps for this transition. Next month, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program, with support from private industry, will host two European Theater Transition Summits; one in U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria, EBOLA to personnel based on the recently announced DOD policy. The bulk of our personnel will carry paperwork tracking their health monitoring and temperature screenings that will facilitate their return. Screening will continue at home station.” Are there any issues with return travel? How is U.S. European Command addressing the different screening and monitoring procedures being followed by host nations in Europe? Air Force Col. John P. Mitchell (JM), surgeon general, U.S. European Command: “As we’ve stated, the
Nov. 5-6, and the other at Ramstein Air Base, Nov. 3. The summits will feature seminars, panel events, recruiter training, a job fair, discussions designed to improve competitive employment for service members, veterans and their spouses, and, of course, networking opportunities. Events at each installation will culminate with a Hiring Our Heroes job fair, where service members will be given the opportunity to step into HireVue’s video interviewing booths to “tell their story” and demonstrate to employers why they will be a great fit for a potential job opportunity. “Whether you need to go to TAP or not, you should go down and visit TAP,” said Col. Adam L. Rocke, director of the Army’s Soldier for Life program. “There are over 700 counselors. There are improved services, a partnership with the Department of Labor, Veterans Affairs and the Small Business Administration — all there to help service members and their spouses and

screening and monitoring of DOD personnel we are implementing meets or exceeds CDC standards. However, our host nations in Europe will also implement screening standards that will vary from country to country. We are currently working with our European partners and allies to refine those procedures and we are prepared to comply with the requirements of each host nation where we have DOD personnel stationed.” What happens when personnel return to home station? What further precautions will be taken? JM: “European Command has
hospitals, medical clinics and medical support programs that are well established and provide top notch care to our military personnel, DOD employees and their families. We will help local commanders implement the required postdeployment daily monitoring for 21 days after return to quickly identify any signs of illness. Our medical facilities will be prepared to support all returning DOD personnel and help them with any medical issues they may face post deployment, including the Ebola Virus Disease. We will also work closely with AFRICOM to continue to assess other possible precautions to help protect our service members and their families.”

Oct. 8 VAT forms were stolen from a personal binder on Kelley Barracks. Oct. 11 A Civilian employee was apprehended for DUI and for fleeing the scene of a traffic accident. Two garden sheds and a street light sustained damage totaling approximately euro 2000. Oct. 12 • A service member was detained by fest security guards for drunk and disorderly conduct. Upon detention he became combative and struck at the security guards and German police. Military Police were notified
of the detention and he was transferred to the MP station. • Two individuals were cited for leaving a child unattended in accordance with US Army Europe’s Child Supervision Policy. If you have questions about this policy, please view the Child Supervision Policy available at http://www.stuttgart.army.mil/policies.html. Oct. 16 A service member was stopped by German Police. The police detected alcohol on the service member’s breath and transported him to Boeblingen Police station where Military Police were alerted and took custody of the individual.
JM: “Given what our personnel will face, I believe we are taking the appropriate steps to protect our troops, our DOD employees and their families. Our primary role is a support role, constructing facilities and providing engineering and training support. We are not providing direct care to Ebola patients. And with the advanced screening and monitoring program implemented by DOD, and with the world class health care professionals and facilities we have within the European Command area, we are more than prepared to tackle any medical issues we face from this deployment.”
Blotter Oct. 2 A dependent was detained by AAFES security for concealing merchandise and then proceeding past the point of purchase without rendering payment. Oct. 4 A dependent was stopped at a German Police DUI checkpoint where she was administered a breathalyzer and then transferred to the Boeblingen Hospital for blood testing. She was subsequently handed over to the Military Police. Oct. 5 The POVs of at least 12 individuals were damaged. Damages consisted of scratches
all over the hood, fenders, bumpers and doors. If anyone has information about this incident please contact the Provost Marshall’s Office. Oct. 7 During a routine traffic stop German police detected an odor of alcohol emitting from the Family member/driver and administered a breathalyzer with results of .08 BAC. The family member was transported to the German Police station then to the MP station where she admitted to the offense, had her driver’s license confiscated and was released to her sponsor.

WHERE TO GET YOUR GOOSE
In Germany, Nov. 11 is St. Martin’s Day. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with parades, lantern marches, reenactments of the St. Martin legend, and a meal of goose, dumplings and red cabbage. Many restaurants offer Martin’s goose menus from Nov. 11 through Christmas.
Goose, not turkey, rules in Germany By Carola Meusel USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs Office
This time of year, most Americans start thinking about Thanksgiving and a turkey dinner. Germans, however, think about St. Martin’s Day and goose. St. Martin’s Day is celebrated on Nov. 11 in honor of Martin, a Roman legionnaire who converted to Christianity, became a monk, and in 372 A.D., the bishop of Tours, France. Legend has it that on a cold winter night, Martin was traveling on his horse when he spotted a freezing beggar. He felt compassion for the beggar and divided his coat into two pieces and shared it with the poor man. With this kind gesture, Martin saved the beggar’s life and became the patron saint of charity. Based on this legend, people all over Germany celebrate St. Martin’s Day, or “Martini Day,” each year with parades, the lighting of the Martin’s fire and reenactments of the legend. Kindergarten and elementary school children craft lanterns and rehearse St. Martin songs
for weeks. During the evening of Nov. 11, the children then light their lanterns to stroll through neighborhood streets with family and friends. Many German traditions relate to food, as does St. Martin’s Day. According to the legend, when pious and humble Martin heard the news that he was chosen to be the next bishop of Tours, he hid in a goose stall. The geese chattered loudly when Martin entered their territory, signaling his location. The people of Tours found him immediately and appointed Martin bishop. Eating a goose meal, then, is a way to honor St. Martin. At least that’s one version of the legend. Timo Böckle, chef at the “Zum Reussenstein” restaurant in Böblingen, shared a medieval account of the goose tradition. According to Böckle, Nov. 11 marked the beginning of a 40-day fasting period before Christmas. After Nov. 11, people were not to eat meat or indulge in other heavy foods. “Farmers were also required to pay their yearly leases on Nov. 11. Many times the lease was paid with a goose, instead of real money,” Böckle said.
To this day, the tradition of serving Martin’s goose, whether based on legend or other customs, continues across Germany. But when it comes to the preparation of the bird, northern and southern Germany part ways. In northern Germany, the goose is stuffed with a mixture of ground pork, onions, garlic and various herbs. In southern Germany, the goose is stuffed with bread, chestnuts, roasted nuts, apples, plums, sugar, salt, vinegar and red wine, according to Böckle. These days, for convenience, most restaurants serve goose legs (Gänsekeule) instead of the whole bird. The goose is accompanied by red cabbage and dumplings. “At the Zum Reussenstein restaurant, the stewed goose leg is served with elderflower red cabbage with honey and bread dumplings with melted butter,” Böckle said. For most people in Germany, the Martin’s goose dinner is the perfect way to begin the holiday season. “Besides, it’s also a way to insulate for the upcoming winter months,” Böckle said.
Most restaurants in the area serve Martin’s goose meals, however, the restaurants below are conveniently located near U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart installations. Keep in mind that reservations are required for all Martin’s goose meals. Zum Reussenstein: Goose will be served a la carte from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15. After Dec. 15, through Christmas, people must pre-order their goose at least two days before the goose meal. For reservations, call civ. 07031-66000.

The senior boys keep the crowd’s attention as they perform during the pep rally. Having worked on the routine since late August, the group performed to songs such as Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off” and “Best Friend’s Brother” by Victoria Justice. The group won the spirit competition for their class and the coveted spirit stick.
Spirit shines during PHS homecoming Photos & story by Megan Brown USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs Office
Patch High School kicked off its homecoming celebration with spirit week Oct. 13-17. The festivities kicked off with
Sophomore Janie Greenberg fixes her lipstick Oct. on Bad to the Bone Day during PHS’s homecoming spirit week. Oct. 15 was also designated as Pretty in Pink Day. Students were encouraged to be bad to the bone in leather and black, or “pretty” in pink.

Decade Day on Tuesday as students flaunted their knowledge of fashion throughout the years. On Wednesday, students went all out wearing leather, lipsticks, tiaras, and tutus for Bad to Bone and Pretty in Pink Day. They saw double on Thursday, as many students dressed as twins. On Friday, much of the student body was clad in black and gold for Spirit Day Oct. 17. The school day concluded with a pep rally replete with hilarious powder puff cheerleading performances followed by a powder puff football game with the cheerleading squads, and a bonfire in the evening. On Oct. 18, the sports teams gave it their all. Unfortunately, the football team lost to undefeated Wiesbaden 486. Most of the other teams fared well. The volleyball team beat Ramstein and the Black Forest Academy. In tennis,
the boys team defeated Wiesbaden 9-0 while the girls team fell 2-7. The boys and girls cross-country teams
remained defeated as they bested Kasierslautern, Black Forest Academy, Bitburg, Ansbach and Baumholder.

Fall Driving Safety
Photo by Shutterstock.com
From the website of the AARP (www.aarp.org)
October has finally brought some crisp mornings to the Stuttgart area, serving as a clear reminder that summer is definitely over. But long before the roads get icy, other cool-weather hazards start to appear.
Watch out for leaves
Once leaves become wet, they can present slippery and dangerous driving conditions. Be sure to watch for patches of wet leaves on the road or on road lines. Dry leaves can also present a problem to your vehicle. Avoid parking your
vehicle near leaf piles to prevent fires that could start from your vehicle’s catalytic converter.
Stay alert on the road
The end of daylight saving time means reduced visibility on the roads, which can create unfamiliar driving conditions. Even on familiar roads, it’s important that motorists use additional caution and adjust their driving habits to watch for pedestrians, cyclists and other roadway users who will be less visible, especially during the first week of the change.
Check your tire pressure
With frequent weather and
temperature changes, tires can expand and contract, causing them to lose air pressure. Make sure tires are properly inflated and have plenty of tread.
Avoid sun glare
With the change in time you may need to adjust to the different morning or late afternoon glare from the sun. The glare can cause reflections off car windows and hoods and decrease your visibility. Have a good pair of sunglasses readily available to counter daytime glare, and consider lenses with anti-reflective coating to reduce glare when night driving can’t be avoided.
Going Green: America Recycles Day Nov. 15 America Recycles Day is a nationally recognized community-driven awareness initiative dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. Each year, on Nov. 15, millions of people become better informed about the importance of daily recycling and buying recycled products. In the Stuttgart military
community, we have an excellent opportunity to recycle paper, cans, glass, plastics and more, all of which can make a significant contribution to recycling. In fact, as guests in Germany, nearly half of all of our waste is recycled. Your attitude and your actions can make a world of difference. Learn how you can help at the U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart
Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division information table Nov. 12 from at the Exchange and Nov. 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Patch Commissary. For additional information about recycling, call 420-7343 or 421-6134. Also, check out the feature on page 12 of this edition.
Plan ahead for wet conditions
Fall often brings rainfall, which can decrease visibility and cause hydroplaning. Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working condition. If driving on a road with excess water, slow down and avoid sudden movements with the steering wheel or brake pedal. If you feel like you’re floating, steer straight and gently release the gas pedal until you feel the tires make contact with the road surface. In an especially heavy downpour you may want to pull off the road until it’s safe to continue.

Taking out the trash … the right way By Greg Jones USAG Stuttgart Public Affairs Office
With a population of roughly 82 million people living in an area smaller than the state of Montana, Germany has a population density of 609 per square mile. In comparison, the U.S. has just 84 people per square mile. That many people in that small of a space, produces a lot of garbage; to the tune of more than 360 million tons per year. This fact makes Germany take waste management very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that they are the most active recycler in all of Europe, recycling almost half of their total waste. Germany accomplishes this impressive feat through a very thorough waste sorting system, the first, and most crucial step of which is the homeowner or
resident in Germany. Let’s be honest though, it can get complicated right? With up to five or six different categories of waste, and practices that vary from county to county, and occasionally from city to city, things can quickly get confusing. To help residents sort out all of the mess, quite literally, the USAG Stuttgart has an in-depth guide that outlines specific procedures for all of the three major counties in the Stuttgart area. Go to www.stuttgart.army.mil and search for “recycling.” A guide is available for both on-post and off-post recycling procedures. These guides, along with the general overview provided in this article should arm most residents to recycle properly and help do their part to contribute to our host nation’s impressive recycling efforts.
Practices vary between counties In each of the three major counties in the Stuttgart area, there are differences in how trash and recyclables are handled. The main difference is in the various bins and how the items are sorted. Glass is handled much the same at various recycling points, and hazardous materials and bulk trash have their own, specific requirements. For more information on these, check our recycling guide online at the link listed above. In Böblingen county, there are four bins, all black, but with color coded lids. A black lid is for trash, an orange lid is for recyclables, a green lid is for organic and a blue lid is for paper. Stuttgart city uses three bins and the yellow sack. A grey bin is for trash, a green bin is for paper, a brown bin is for organic waste, and yellow bags are used for recyclables (see our online guide for information on where to get the yellow bag). Although specific procedures vary, most programs divide trash and recyclables into six categories; trash/rubbish, recyclables, paper, organic waste, glass, and hazardous waste. For explanations of these categories and what is included in each of them, see the side bar on the opposite page. Ludwigsburg County uses two bins and groups recyclables and paper together. A green bin is used on a rotating schedule for “flat” and “round” recyclables (including paper). Flat paper and recyclables includes most normal paper products, books magazines and similar items, as well as flat plastics like plastic bags, and flat pieces of plastic and Styrofoam. Round paper and recyclables includes plastic bottles, cans and similar products. For a more detailed description, see our recycling guide online. Sperrmüll or bulky trash Residual waste that is too big for the regular trash bin, but does not exceed a given size. For example, in Boeblingen, it cannot
exceed 2 meters by 1.2 meters x 4/5 of meter, and must weigh less than 60 kg per piece. Mattresses, cupboards, bedframe, furniture, carpets, mirrors, suitcases, ski and surfboards are all examples of common bulk trash items. Bigger trash cans may be available One of the most common frustrations for arriving Americans is having a trash bin that is much smaller than they are used to. Often, this is a frustration that does not have to be endured. Trash cans are supposed to be based on family size, and should usually be adequate as long as recyclables and other trash are being properly sorted and not put into the regular trash bin. Families with children, and especially larger families who find themselves constantly overfilling their trash bins should consider talking to their landlords about getting a larger can. BE forewarned, this may affect the monthly trash fees, and landlords will likely pass that cost on to the renter, depending on the specifics of the rental arrangement. Residents may inquire for more information about a larger trash can at local city offices, but usually it will ultimately have to be the homeowner/landlord who orders the larger bin. On-Post trash and dumping For on post residents, things are relatively simple. Clearly labeled containers are available in all housing areas, and the guide available online details what items can and cannot go into each container. Residents living on post should note that bring off-post trash on post to dump is prohibited by USAG Stuttgart policy. Policy Letter 59 outlines this rule and is punitive in nature, meaning adverse administrative action can result from violations. Also, it’s really not difficult to do the right thing in this case because … Getting rid of extra trash is not costly In fact, it’s sometimes free, but does take some effort and coordination. Some areas have recycling centers and city dumps that residents can take their trash to and almost all areas have procedures for residents to request pick up of bulk trash and other non-standard waste. Often these pickups are free of charge, but usually only offered a limited number of times per year. Contact the agency for your area for more information.

Sorting out the mess, bin by bin ... Note: Bin colors and categories may be different in your area.
Trash / Rubbish ‘Restmüll’ or regular trash: Basically anything that does not fit into any of the recycleable categories, and is not hazardous material. Almost all areas use a black plastic bin for Restmüll.
Paper ‘Altpapier’ or waste paper: Items such as books, catalogs, newspapers, magazines, periodicals, papers, correspondence, handouts, notes, wrapping paper, boxes and packing material made of cardboard. Make sure not to throw the following items into the paper recycling: coated and wet strength paper, coated packaging, folder, organic and mineral contaminated paper, diapers, vacuum cleaner bags, wallpaper, egg boxes. Waste paper is usually put into a blue bin or a blue bag.
Recyclables Organic ‘Bio’ or organic waste: Items such as leftovers, eggshells, coffee filters, tea bags, vegetables and fruits, tree-, bush-, and hedge-clippings, flowers and plants, leaves, grass-clippings, and weeds. Organic waste containers are usually brown bins, but can also be green in some areas.
‘Wertstoffe’ or recyclables: Things made of metal, plastic, wood such as pots, pans, tools, toys, chopping boards, buckets, watering pots, bowls, colanders, baskets, cups, and boxes. However, the following items are not considered recyclable: textiles, vehicle parts, construction debris, CD´s, DVD´s. In some areas recyclables will go in a yellow, orange or green bin, and in some areas they goe into a yellow bag or sack (gelbe Säcke).
Glass Other Waste Other waste: Electronics and hazardous waste must be carefully handled, and there is a wide variance in how these items are handled. Residents who have these types of waste are advised to contact their local office (contact information for area offices is in the brochure on the USAG Stuttgart website) to arrange for disposal.
Glass: Glass recycling can vary greatly from area to area. In some areas glass must be taken to glass recycling points, and sorted into color coded bins. In other areas glass is picked up like other trash on a given schedule, and is not sorted. Glass recycling does not include Returnable bottles, windows, crystalline glass, spectacles, mirror glasses, dishes, and bulbs.

Introducing Local Businesses TC BBQ
TC BBQ is now located at Emil-Kremlen-Weg 51, 70376 Stuttgart. This actually is right across from where they were located before. Now though, it is a much more spacious restaurant to serve you, with three additional rooms for your events or parties.

Here you can experience the perfect grilling techniques he has mastered using original smokers, which Tim has imported from the U.S. He has taken his hobby and turned it into a business. His motto ‘It’s long and slow that produces fall off the bone ribs and delicious pulled pork.’ In the new location TC BBQ also offers monthly entertainment with live music, from country to blue grass to rock & blues. He also offers open stage nights for those that have a band or those that want to perform before an audience. Check out his ad in The Citizen newspaper and check out The Bulletin Board on The Citizen website for special events that Tim’s BBQ might be offering.
