Sometimes when approaching the light in yellow the arm comes down. The arm remains up thru the yellow light. Once the light is red then the arm comes down.

Response: Thank you for sharing your concerns about the drop arms at the Clay Kaserne ACP. We have made only one change to the lights and drop arm system since the gate opened nine months ago.

As indicated in the Garrison’s informational notice, the cause of the accidents at the gate is unfortunately people not obeying the traffic light. Drivers should approach the barrier area, which also has a speed bump installed, at a relatively slow pace. By doing so, and by following the traffic lights direction, accidents should be avoided.

Prepare now to stay safe in winter U . S. A rm

y G arri son W i esbaden Safety Office Though much of Europe ex perienced unseasonably hot weather this past summer, the changing of seasons and hazards of winter cannot and should not be dismissed by Soldiers and their families.

Last year’s winter brought record snowfalls, sleet, freezing rain, ice, gusty winds and bitterly cold air to much of the nited States. wo of 20 ’s iggest storms killed at least 34 people and caused an estimated 0 million in damage. ccording to the merican ed ross, do ens of people die from ex posure to cold each year. Still more are killed in vehicle accidents and fires due to winter weather. he only way to prevent these in uries and deaths is to be adequately prepared for wintry conditions.

U nderstanding what to ex pect when the meteorologist announces changes to the weather forecast is a first step. Stay informed y listening to the Weather Service or local radio and television stations for weather updates. Individuals should familiarize themselves with weather terminology to ensure they make informed decisions on what actions to take when storm conditions arise.

Winter storms, also called “deceptive killers” are usually not directly responsible for most fatalities. nstead, deaths are incidental to traffic accidents and from prolonged ex posure to cold.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency recommends families keep an emergency supply kit on hand and have their vehicles properly prepped and ready for winter storm emergencies. ome kits should include a gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, three-day supply of non-perishable food, battery-powered or hand-cranked radio and weather radio with tone alert, ashlight, e tra atteries, whistle, manual can opener, and cellphone with chargers. Other

Winter can be a dangerous time, both on the road and off, but proper preparation can save lives. suggested items include prescription medications, eyeglasses, infant formula, diapers, cash or traveler’s checks, sleeping bags, blankets and household chlorine bleach.

If it’s absolutely necessary to drive, plan trips carefully and listen to the radio or television to monitor forecasts and road conditions. Also winterize your car, top off your gas tank, ensure antifreeze levels are adequate, and test the battery, ignition, heater and defrosting systems for proper operation.

It may have been cold and rainy outside, ut inside the ony Bass Gym Oct. 15, it might as well have been the tropics of Panama. he garrison cele rated ational ispanic eritage onth with a keynote speaker, traditional entral and South American dances, and of course, food.

The theme was “Energizing our ation’s iversity.” hief arrant fficer rancisco Vargas with U .S. Army Europe who served in the Gulf War as well as three tours for Operation Iraqi Freedom, was the keynote speaker. e himself is also a “proud Mex ican-American,” born and raised in Southern alifornia. e pointed out the misconception that all ispanics are e ican, one that he held himself growing up in a tightknit Mex ican community until he oined the rmy.

“I thank God for giving me the opportunity to oin the rmy at a young age,” he said. “The Army gave me a whole different perspective and appreciation for our ispanic merican population uickly learned that ispanic

heritage encompasses a myriad of cultures.” e also highlighted the many contri utions from ispanic Americans in American history, such as en. Bernardo de alve , the Spanish Governor in Louisiana during the evolutionary ar who ensured defeat against the British in the South pl. oseph . eastro, the first ispanic merican to receive the edal of onor for his actions against the onfederate rmy at ettys urg ol. anuel ernande , an merican ying ace who ew 2 com at missions in the Korean ar and llen choa,

the first ispanic female astronaut.

But a ove all, he said, he is an American. “ egardless of our heritage and background, we are all American,” Vargas said. “I think my sevenyear-old son said it best, when we were at a recent community event and some boys came up to him and asked him, ‘ What are you and where are you from ’ is response was simply, ‘ I am American.’”

The presidential proclamation was read, a poem was read in Spanish, and community members rought ispanic culture alive, performing traditional dances from Panama, Guatemala and Peru.

We already know there’s going to be a contingent of people who don’t go to school, who therefore will not get promoted. Do the math. What does that mean for nex t year’s promotion list? More promotions.”

Dailey said everything the Army is going to do with regard to ensuring the deserving get promoted is centered on the objectives of the Army secretary and chief of staff: fight and win.

He went on to say the sergeants major, who are working STEP, have assured him there will be enough school seats to train and educate every Soldier the Army needs. Dailey also said that in the past, when Soldiers have been unable to get seats in training schools, it wasn’t due to a shortage of seats, but rather “inefficiency” that resulted from other students not showing up for schools.

Dailey also discussed “Not in My Squad,” which was initiated early in the year. He said it was centered and focused on ex actly what NCOs had been asking for: putting discipline and standards back into the hands of NCOs. “I told the chief and the secretary

The sergeant major of the Army told a roomful of senior noncommissioned officers, or s, today that a “monumental change” to NCO education and training is just over the horizon and it promises to be an emotional topic.

Speaking at the opening day of the Association of the U nited States Army’s, or AU SA’s, annual meeting, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey said a new instruction is in the works and ex pected to be effective Jan. 1, 2016 , and it will change the way Soldiers get promoted.

Called STEP, for “Select, Train, Educate and Promote,” the Army, as it gets smaller, will be taking a harder line toward who gets promoted and who doesn’t.

“Y ou cannot and will not get promoted if you do not have the requisite level of education commensurate to that rank and grade,” he said, noting that last year 14,000 active-duty NCOs and a combined 40,000 Guard and Reserve Soldiers had not gone to school commensurate with their rank.

“So this is good news and bad news,”

Lastly, he encouraged the audience

U.S. Air National Guard Capt. Sean Cahill leads the pack of 86 cyclists from 16 nations early in the 131-kilometer bike race on the outskirts of Mungyeong, South Korea, during the Conseil International du Sport Militaire World Games, Oct. 7, 2015.

By G ary Shef ti c k A rmy N ews S erv ice

U SA’s hopes for a medal in men’s team cycling were dashed on the last hill as a group of French bikers charged and cut off America’s designated sprinter, U .S. Air Force Maj. Ian Holt.

Holt was in a group of eight leaders who had broken away from the main pack of 8 6 cyclists toward the end of the grueling 131-kilomenter race on the outskirts of Mungyeong, South Korea, Oct. 7 .

“I thought it might stick,” Holt said of the lead group. His job was to stick with the leaders and then sprint across the finish line to win the nited States its first official medal during the onseil nternational du Sport Militaire, or CISM, Military World Games.

The French “punch group,” however, spoiled that plan.

“They’re a pro team, too,” Holt said. “They’re willing to burn up two or three guys” just to keep teams like the U SA off the podium.

So Holt fell back and his teammate, U .S. Air National Guard Capt. Sean Cahill, caught up and they crossed the finish line together. t age 2, oth of them are among the most seasoned athletes on U SA’s delegation of 16 5 military athletes at the world games. hey finished ust seconds ehind the winner, Kyoung Ho Park from South Korea, who had a time of 2 hours, 51 minutes and 28 seconds. The 6 seconds made a big difference, though, as 43 other cyclists rolled across the finish line etween the gold medalist and them. e t across the finish line for eam S was Army Capt. Alex ander Driscoll, from Fort Huachuca, ri ona, with a time of 2: 2: . ourth to finish for the U SA, and the last to count in team competition, was Air Force Tech Sgt. Dwayne Farr, who serves with the 142nd Fighter Wing in Portland, Oregon.

arr finished with a time of 2: 2: .

Farr said the 131K course “started fast and did not let up. t definitely was a different style of racing than I’m used to.” He called the race a “suffer fest.”

Driscoll agreed. He said that in most of the U .S. races, where he’s competed, cyclists let up a bit at some point. There was no lull in the pace in this race, he said. “The surge was always moving forward.”

Rounding out the 8 -man cycling squad for Team U SA were: — Air Force 2nd Lt. Stefan Z avislav, with a time of 2:52:37 .

— Army 1st Lt. Michael Gallagher, with a time of 2:53:08 .

— Army Capt. Jose Solis, of the 17 3rd Airborne B rigade in Vicenza, Italy, with a time of 2:59:51.

— Air Force Capt. John Shalekbriski, who took a spill when he rounded a corner onto a bridge, but still finished with a time of :0 :0 .

“I came around too hot and hit the dirt,” Shalekbriski said of the spill. B ut he got up, had his bike checked by the U .S. support crew in the lead vehicle, and kept on going.

Team U SA took 9th place in the team competition out of 15 national teams. South Korea won the team gold, France took silver and Germany won the team bronze. Korean cyclists took both the gold and silver in individual competition with Keon Woo Park taking second place and Russia’s Aleksei Tcatevich taking the ron e. ll three finished with a time of 2: :2 .

“Some of the best guys in the world are here,” Cahill said of the cycling competitors. “It’s just an honor to bang bars with them.”

At the same time the cyclists were competing, Team U SA was winning a gold medal in women’s formation skydiving and women’s two-person dinghy sailing. B oth events took place about three hours away in Pohang, South Korea.

WWII ski trooper recalls service

Photo by Master Sgt. Kap Kim

Dressed in his World War II uniform, 91-year-old Charles W. Smith stands in front of the Military Mountaineers statue in Memorial Park during his visit to Fort Drum, N.Y., Sept. 25. Smith, one of the original ski troopers in the 85th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, is a World War II vet, Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient. He fought in Italy in 1945 throughout Riva Ridge, Mount Belvedere and Po Valley.

aster Sg t. K ap K i m

ou ntain D iv ision PA O N C OI C

An 18 -year-old son of Keene Valley, New Y ork, upon being drafted into World War II service in 1943, Charles W. Smith decided to do something different — something new for that time.

His decision to apply to be an Army ski trooper and his service in Italy would change his life and forever change the Army.

Smith, who was a private first class assigned to 3rd Platoon, I Company, 8 5th Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division, recently traveled to Fort Drum to spend time in a place where old memories still run through his head as vividly as yesterday’s news. A short photo opportunity in front of the Military Mountaineers statue in Fort Drum’s Memorial Park, in the very same uniform he was issued in 1945, seemed to diminish the wrinkles and years away from his face as he smiled.

He recalled that the last time he and his daughters had visited Fort Drum, the statue was located near Mount B elvedere gate. He agreed that the new location near the headquarters building, named after his division commander, Maj. Gen. George Price Hays, who commanded the division from 1944 until the end of the war in urope, was fitting. Smith recalled the speech Hays gave them before they made their assault up Mount B elvedere.

“It would be a night attack, and we were only to use fi ed ayonets and grenades,” he said. “ o firing of ammo, even though we had to carry it.”

During his tour of Fort Drum, Smith and his Family recognized the various Italian street names dedicated to honor those who fought gallantly throughout Italy.

“Look, Riva Ridge,” said his daughter, Darlene Gero.

She and her sister, B renda Smith, both had grown up hearing about their father’s service. At the Heritage Center, they met with Kent B olke, the museum curator, and Smith got a chance to walk down memory lane as he saw some of the ski equipment he had used.

B efore he left, he donated a coat he was issued at the end of the war. It had only been worn once, he said.

It was in such great condition that the only indication of its age was by the World War II-era 10th Mountain Division patch hand stitched on the left shoulder.

When he arrived at the 4th B attalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd B rigade Combat Team, he was delighted and overcome with the connection he made with those infantrymen, even though he is more than 7 0 years their senior in some cases.

“I just couldn’t believe how young they were,” he said.

He spent most of the time at 4-31 Infantry with Staff Sgt. Stephen Penny at a framed print of the 10th Mountain Division History, running through the timeline and the ountain i eman’s field load list and statistics. The Soldiers there all thanked him for everything he did to help shape their lineage today.

Smith had been in their boots more than 7 0 years ago when he left New Y ork for then Camp Hale, Colorado, and started his basic training with the 8 6 th Regiment. The newly formed ski troopers trained in the mountains of Colorado.

“Charlie,” as he was called, grew up skiing and snowshoeing throughout the harsh upstate New Y ork winters, but the 90-pound packs on his equal-weighted frame and the -40-degree Fahrenheit weather proved to be tougher than he could ever imagine. However, the worst was yet to come as he embarked on the trip to Europe, which eventually led to the Italian Alps.

It was months before Japan’s surrender and without an end to the war in sight. The ski troopers pushed up through mountain ranges such as Riva Ridge and Mount B elvedere like they did at Camp Hale. During months of intense fighting up the mountains, Smith endured countless friends’deaths and sustained injuries himself for which he earned a Purple Heart Medal, though he never left combat. His shrapnel injury to his hip was andaged up, and he continued fighting for several more months.

“On Feb. 19, [ 1945] , we made our assault up B elvedere,” he recounted. “The snow was almost gone by now and the mountain was … well-mined with trip wires. We had to follow one behind the other about 10 feet apart. There were many empty shell holes. We had to keep counting how many men we still had due to casualties from ex ploding mines.”

Faced with mines, enemy snipers and machine-gun nests, he and his unit continued to fight, taking on the highest casualty count for their size and stint in combat, with 992 killed in action and some 4,000 wounded.

“I was lucky, I suppose,” he said.

Charlie Smith takes a quiet moment at Division Hill during a recent visit to Fort Drum, N.Y. hen the war was finally over in taly, ay 2, , Smith and his outfit were at the ase of the Italian Alps. They had fought for 20 continuous days and advanced 120 miles.

Smith and his regiment left Italy, and they were due to return home before going to Japan. While at home on leave, however, news of the atomic bomb and the subsequent surrender that ended the war also soon ended Smith’s Army service.

Smith returned from the war and settled back home, where he worked several odd jobs before he became a carpenter and worked on Plattsburgh Air Force B ase.

In 1947 , Smith met his wife, Roberta Louisa Manley, who served in the Women’s Army Aux iliary Corps.

He and his wife had three children, and they had been married for more than 6 0 years before she died in 2008 .

Through the years, Smith has attended several 10th Mountain Division Association Reunions, and he has kept in contact with many members of the original ski troopers from his regiment. In 2012, Smith traveled to Italy during an association reunion, and he got to travel around the same attlefields he had in .

Smith is still going strong into his 90s. During his meeting with 10th Mountain Division B rig. Gens.

Andrew Rohling and Diana Holland and Command Sgt. Maj. R. Ray Lewis, they all marveled at how he still fit into his originally issued olive dra uniform. “ hope can still fit into my uniform at your age,” Lewis joked.

Save a life through early detection of breast cancer

By Richard J. Curley Program Evaluation Consultant, Army Public Health Center (Provisional)

In recent years, medical advances in both early detection and treatment have helped millions of women survive breast cancer. This year, 230,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and currently more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors are living in the United States. However, breast cancer continues to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide and the second leading cause of death among women in the United States.

What is breast cancer?

Breast cancer is a disease that causes normal cells in the breast to change and grow out of control. Abnormal cells group together, also known as malignant tumors, destroy body tissue that may spread throughout the body. According to the American Cancer Society about 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. A woman’s risk increases with age; thus it is important to detect breast cancer early through screening.

Why is early detection important?

The chances of survival are much higher if the cancer is detected in the early stages. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, when breast cancer is found early before spreading through the body, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends breast cancer screening tests for early detection. This means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease. Talk with your doctor about which tests are right for you, and when you should have them.

Mammograms To increase the chances of early detection, the CDC

recommends that women 50-74 years of age get a screening mammogram every 2 years. Women 40-49 years should discuss with their medical providers as to when they should start getting mammograms. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends breast cancer screening tests for early detection. This means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease.

Clinical breast exam All women should receive a clinical breast exam during their annual physical. A clinical breast exam is an examination by a doctor or nurse, who uses his or her hands to feel for lumps or other changes.

Breast self-exams Women can also aid in early detection by examining their own breasts. Breast self-exams involve looking at and feeling both breasts with your fingers to check for lumps. Adult women of all ages are encouraged to perform a breast self-exam at least once a month.

It is important that women know what is normal for the shape, look, and feel of their breasts, so that they are able to recognize any changes in the appearance of the nipple or breast that are different from normal. If there are any signs or symptoms, a health care provider should check them out immediately.

Symptoms to look for include: • Lump in the breast • Thickening of the breast skin • Rash or redness of the breast

• Breast swelling • New onset of breast pain • Dimpling around the nipple or on the breast skin • Nipple pain or the nipple turning inward • Nipple discharge • Lumps in the underarm area Changes in your breast do not always mean that you have breast cancer. In fact, 80 percent of breast lumps are found to be non-cancerous. Only an experienced health care provider can tell you what other tests should be performed to determine if you have breast cancer.

Remember to be proactive about your health.

Having healthy behaviors coupled with appropriate medical screening is a primary method of preventing breast cancer. To reduce your risk, keep a healthy weight, exercise regularly, get enough sleep and don’t drink alcohol or limit alcoholic drinks to one a day. The Performance Triad, http://phc.amedd.army. mil/topics/campaigns/perftriad/Pages/default.aspx provides tips about getting adequate sleep, proper nutrition and exercise.

Resilience key to overcoming depression

By Ihsan Abdur-Rahman and Capt. Donell Barnett Army Public Health Center (Provisional)

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Sam woke to gentle sunlight streaming through the blinds and turned to see his wife sleeping peacefully beside him. He heard their children playing nearby. A few months ago, he would have been eager to jump out of bed and get the day started. However, in the past weeks, his interest in daily routines and family life had diminished.

A year ago, Sam returned home from a second deployment to Iraq. During his 18-month tour, his children accomplished great things. His son made the Little League team, and his daughter took her first steps. Sam’s family was eager for his return. At first, Sam seemed fine; he showed affection toward his family, excelled at work, and played basketball with his buddies in his spare time. However, as the days progressed, a dark feeling began to creep into

Page 14

Herald Union

Sam’s mind, dulling other sensations. He found himself spending more time at work and less time on the basketball court and with his family. At a routine Troop Medical Clinic visit, Sam revealed he had been feeling “out of the norm” and having bouts of digestive problems. His doctor asked about feelings of irritability, isolation and withdrawal. Sam admitted to feeling those things and spending more time at work. The doctor suggested he may be suffering from depression.

Sam’s story is fictional, but depression is quite real.

Individuals cope with depression in different ways.

Some may feel overwhelmed by sadness, guilt and helplessness. Some, like Sam, may try to find relief from symptoms by isolating themselves from family and friends, or overworking. One does not have to cope with depression alone. Depression is a treatable and manageable medical condition. Sam demonstrated resilience by seeking care and having an open conversation about his feelings with his physician.

Soldiers’ careers carry expectations, responsibili-

ties and stressful situations. Soldiers who demonstrate resilience during times of hardship find the tools to resolve challenging situations. Habits that build resilience are the same habits that may reduce the symptoms of depression: participating in physical activity, adopting a healthy diet, practicing healthy sleep habits, seeking care from behavioral health professionals and joining support groups. Resilience can be learned, preparing Soldiers for lifelong success in finding solutions to difficult situations. One program for building resilience in Soldiers and their families is the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness, or CSF2 Program. CSF2 uses a systematic process to build mental strength, professional acumen and the Warrior Ethos.

If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, help is available from a variety of sources.

Contact your local military treatment facility, TRICARE or a civilian community counseling facility.

But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine, the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange… he is a prisoner of his own imagination – the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorize the town, it’s suddenly up to Stine, Zach, and Hannah to get all of them back in the books where they belong.

Krakow comes back

Life buzzes in Krakow’s medieval Main Square, one of the largest in Europe dating back to the 13th century.

Poland’s cultural gem shimmers with history, revival Story and photos by Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Poland is a country that has been occupied throughout the centuries by Sweden, the Habsburg empire, Prussia, and of course, Nazi Germany, and not to mention aggravated by Russia. Krakow, long known as the cultural capital of Poland, has endured some of the worst that centuries of shifting borders can bring.

And yet — Krakovians are some of the warmest, most open and optimistic people you will meet. Granted, this conclusion was determined during a brief three-day visit, but it was convincing enough.

There are certain things that are at the top of the list when prioritizing sightseeing in Krakow: the Wieliczka salt mines; a tour of Nowa Huta, an old communist town; Wawel Castle; the Jewish ghetto; Kazimierz Jewish quarter; Oskar Schindler’s factory, made famous

by Steven Spielberg’s movie, now a museum; and of course, the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp nearby. However, it was discovered that visitors must book tickets for the camp several days in advance, so it wasn’t in the cards — but it was just as well because this traveler was more interested in learning about the Jews lived and thrived in Krakow instead. Poland has traditionally been quite welcoming to Jews, who made up 25 percent of the Polish populations before the war and were an important part of society, especially in Krakow.

A free tour with Free Walking Tours, as the name implies, is the way to go. Locals lead groups on daily scheduled tours, including Kazimierz, the neighborhood where Jews lived since the 15th century, and the former site of the Jewish ghetto during World War II. A walk through charming Kazimierz, now popular with students and artists and revived after “Schindler’s List” was filmed there, gave way to the stark contrast of the Jewish ghetto square on the other side of the Vistula River.

Scattered across the square are large chairs, an art installation meant to symbolize the furniture that belonged to the families living there. In 1941, almost the entire Jewish population of 15,000 was moved from

The memorial where the Jewish ghetto square once stood is a stark reminder of Jews’ suffering here during World War II. Kazimierz to the ghetto, an area that previously housed just 3,000 people, with three or four families crammed into an apartment. They lived captive there until the entire ghetto was gradually “liquidated” from 1942-1943. Those

in category B — young, old and infirm — were killed, while those in category A were forced to clean up the aftermath and were then deported to surrounding camps.

Each chair represents 1,000 victims. Some are especially uncomfortable to sit in, meant to evoke the discomfort of the families living there.

The tour ends at Schindler’s factory, where tour guides are quick to mention that the museum focuses on life in Krakow during World War II, not on Oskar Schindler himself, who is a controversial figure in history. Sure enough, a tour of the museum reveals eye-opening revelations, year by year, about what it was like to live in Krakow during the most horrific era of the 20th century.

Events such as the Soviet army’s massacre of an estimated 22,000 Polish officers and government officials at Katyn were discussed on the tour. The tragedy is a highly sensitive topic among Poles to this day.

Despite these tragedies, stories of survival and compassion also abound, from of course Schindler’s storied mission to the pharmacist who convinced Nazis to let him stay so he could keep disease at bay. He also arranged escapes out of the ghetto and gave them blonde hair dye to look less Jewish.

For a break from the sheer horror of history, a walk to the Main Square in the middle of the old town for dinner and levity was necessary. On a normal day, the square is buzzing with life, albeit a bit touristy: hawkers selling light up bouncy balls, tour guides politely goading tourists to take a tour in an electric car and horse-drawn carriage ride operators calling out to passersby. It’s a little disorienting, but invigorating at the same time.

Luckily, a festival was taking place this weekend and with it, dozens of open-air stalls selling all sorts of Polish delicacies: kielbasa, grilled oscypek, a salty sheep’s cheese served with sweet jam, and a delectable sweet bread baked around a cylinder of wood and sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate and other treats. And of course: there were pierogies, those doughy pockets filled with meat, cheese or spinach and slathered in melted butter. Piwo, the Polish word for beer, is plentiful. So is the ubiquitous Polish pottery, and other unique pieces made by local artists.

Folk dancers clicked their heels on a stage while the crowd cheerily sang and swayed along. As night fell, a choir sang hymns accompanied by a dramatic angel hoisted above an adoring crowd. Fireworks concluded the spectacle.

Names of Krakow’s Holocaust victims are displayed in the final exhibit at the Schindler’s factory museum.

Locals proved friendly and eager to practice their English. They’re also amenable to give you their opinions on history and current world affairs having lived through some of its most significant events.

Krakow is alive and well. Go with an open ear and heart and come back with a new appreciation for the tenacity of the human spirit, a head full of revelations and a suitcase full of Polish pottery.

Tongeren’s Flea Market and Holland’s Caves Tongeren’s Sunday morning flea market is world-renowned and if you are an American stationed in Europe, you will hear about this gem. It’s absolutely worth going to visit. When my friend Heather said she would show a group of us her old stomping grounds in the Netherlands and Belgium’s famous flea market for a weekend, we jumped at the chance to go. Here are some of the best tips from our Benelux (minus the lux) trip.

Aachen, Germany Our first stop was Aachen, Germany. This cobblestone covered, larger university town is the last stop in Deutschland before entering the Netherlands. We visited the Aachen Cathedral, which is known for the royal seat of Charlemagne, the first king of the Holy Roman Empire.

Although we missed the 2 p.m. English tour we were able to visit the inside later after a church service to walk through the cathedral before 7 p.m. The majesty and honor of this place was sensed from the minute we entered. Having been the place of coronation for over 500 years for German royalty, the reverence and omniscient emotions took me over.

Aachen is also a town known for its “gingerbread” or Printen, similar to lebkuchen but not the same. There were several stores to buy from in the old city and we smelled the sweet aroma permeating the walkways of this very old Roman town.

Maastricht&Valkenburg, Netherlands We stayed in Valkenburg, NL. Valkenburg is a beautiful town with overlooking castle ruins that have a great story behind them. When the King found out Napoleon was coming to invade and had plans to blow

up his castle, the King took matters into his own hands and destroyed his own castle. The ruins remain unchanged. Although the ruins were closed to visitors while we were there.

We also enjoyed a wine tasting in a cave while we were in Valkenburg at the Bistrot a Vins. Be sure to make your reservation ahead of time as they are voted the best restaurant in Valkenburg and are quite busy. This was a super fun add-on I would highly recommend.

There is also a restaurant row in Valkenburg so choosing a place to eat wasn’t difficult and was within walking distance of our hotel.

On Saturday morning, we decided to visit Maastricht, NL, mostly because we heard about a morning flea market and Maastricht is located on the Maas river. The views of the bridges were amazing. While we were here we also went on an underground Maastricht cave and fort tour.

One of our favorite stops on the trip. Our tour guide Michael was hysterical, even leaving us once in the dark, damp cave to find our way out.

Not really…we held on to the wall and it was just for a moment. He was so delightful and lighthearted, be sure to ask for him by name as his English tour rocks.

The fort tour was given by Ralf.

The top floor views of the fort allow you to take pictures of Belgium and Maastricht which are absolutely gorgeous. This impregnable fortress only took 8 months to complete. It was hard to believe, so you’ll have to see it for yourself. The fort tour lasted about 45 minutes while the cave tour was about an hour.

Tongeren Flea Market Sunday morning we woke up very early to get to the Tongeren Flea Mar-

ket, as the hours are from 7 a.m. – 1 p.m. We planned on grabbing breakfast and a coffee at one of the many cafes when we got there.

We arrived right when the vendors were setting up so we knew we would have to make several sweeps. We split up but made a meeting point for midday and then later in the afternoon.

Tips to help you shop smart All of the vendors liked to “haggle,” don’t be embarrassed about asking for a lower price. They have come to expect this and actually look forward to this practice. Also, I have a friend who says if we don’t barter a little bit it will keep the prices high. I didn’t pay full-price for one item, well maybe one, it was a Dutch cow bell which was unique, it was special to me.

Some stores used to take the VAT form, but the rules have changed now.

We mentioned it to our new friends at Antiek Patrick, right on the square, and he cut the price of my wall mirror and said: “There’s your VAT,” with a smile.

Many of the vendors had similar pieces, they know what we are looking for so don’t settle on a piece if it’s really high. Chances are, you’ll find it around the corner for less. This happened to my friend, Anita, and she got a steal on a stain-glass type window.

Everyone spoke English; this made shopping and eating very easy. I’m still learning Deutsch and have not moved onto Dutch.

Transportation & hauling information We rented a 7-passenger van to haul our limited purchases back.

However, a van/truck was not much more and we would have been able to fit larger and possibly more pieces.

Our rental was under €200 for the

weekend. The van/truck was about €50 more for the same time. I can’t guarantee the price but it’s worth checking into. *Special Note about Esso card for rentals – one of the key items we learned the hard way is there is a fuel ration on all car rentals (no matter the size of your vehicle). All 1-7 day vehicle rentals are allotted a small ration for fuel. (See customs office for more details). *also to apply for the Esso ration card you must have the rental vehicle registration to take to the customs office, fill out the paperwork, then head to AAFES Customer Service to obtain the card, and put money on the balance to use on the economy – this delayed our trip by 2 hours!* Aachen is the last place you can fill up at an ESSO. We did not have to gas up the entire time we were in Belgium and the Netherlands. Major bonus by the time we came back to Stuttgart, I had .73 Euros left on my ration.

This was an unforgettable trip and we are planning another trip to stock up on more European treasures. We had a great group of gals with lots of laughter and discovery, making the trip fantastic. I hope I’ve been able to help out a little bit if you were interested in going and want to know more or are planning a trip soon. Best of luck and shop smart!

TODAY: Sauce Bolognese

• 150 grams ground meat (pork and beef) per person • Sunflower and olive oil • Tomato paste • Sliced tomatoes in a jar or a can (you can get it on the economy) • A bit of red wine • Onions, garlic, salt, ground white pepper, a bit of sugar, a bit of chili and oregano

Preparation

Add spices to the ground meat (except the oregano). Mix it properly and let it rest for about half an hour.

Dice the onions and the garlic to small pieces.

Take a pot with a large diameter to have enough surface to roast the ground meat properly.

Heat the pot. Add sunflower and olive oil (half and half) into the pot. Don’t be afraid to add a lot of oil into the pot. Add the ground meat and let it roast on medium heat for half an hour. Stir well. Then add the small diced onions. Let them roast for about 10 minutes.

Then add the small diced garlic.

Be careful not to burn the garlic!

Add the tomato paste. Let it roast for approximately five minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Then add a sip of red wine to it. Let it reduce.

Add another sip of red wine. Add the sliced tomatoes and some water. Let it reduce. Add a little bit of water. Let it reduce.

Add

more water. Add the oregano (why do we add the oregano now? Because if we add it in the beginning of the roasting process, the oregano would burn, and we would have to throw the sauce away) and all the other spices. Then let it cook on low heat for 5 hours. Always take care to have enough water in the pot so that all meat is covered. When you now look into your pot you should have a nice red oil sea on top of your sauce. The red oil is what gives the nice red color to the noodles — and no, it’s not the sauce.

ill enjoy j your sauce I am sure you will Bolognese!

See you next week for another delicious recipe!

! l Enjoy your mea
