Commentary Second thoughts

Sexism

Enlisting men to help change mindsets Commentary by Shayna Brouker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

I’m worried about the males of the world.

There’s nothing like a school shooting steeped in misogyny to make you question everything you think you know.

By now, the story about Elliot Rodger’s May 23 massacre of three fellow University of California — Santa Barbara students inspired by his depraved women-hating manifesto has long been overshadowed by other world tragedies and scandals. But it’s left an indelible impression on me.

The Isla Vista shooting and subsequent #YesAllWomen movement — and more so, the backlash of #Not AllMen — opened my eyes. The pervasive fear of sexual assault that “Yes, All Women” live with — have grown to accept as normal — is totally unacceptable.

No one should live with that fear.

If you haven’t yet, take a few minutes to read the hundreds of tweets by women revealing simple, sad truths, like the fact that men don’t instinctively carry their keys like a

weapon walking home at night, or that a potential male suitor is more likely to respect the words “I have a boyfriend” rather than just “No.” The men I choose to keep in my life have shown me nothing but respect, and I like to believe most are the same. But these stories rang all-too-true for me. Of course I bought pepper spray along with towels when shopping for college supplies, and I always ask my girl friends to text me when they’re home safe.

But placing the blame squarely on sexist men is not the answer.

As a society, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Think about even the most innocent, formulaic Disney movie plot we’ve all grown up watching, from “Snow White” to “The Lion King”: Male hero overcomes impressive challenge and wins the girl. But when women are the prize, we’re the ones who lose. And that doesn’t even touch the lessons preached in modern music.

It’s time to show our young boys what right looks like. Women are equal human beings, partners in humanity, not prizes to be won.

Let’s treat them that way. Men, will you help us?

Pedestrian safety

Annette V. commented: There really needs to be a painted crosswalk on the main street in Newman Village right before Fowler Loop.

There is a sidewalk path that ends at one side of the street and picks up on the other side of the street, so naturally people and kids cross the street there. But strangely enough, there is no painted crosswalk. This is a safety hazard.

Response: Thanks for bringing your concerns to my attention. As you probably have already noted, a new crosswalk was painted on June 13. Thanks, Annette, for helping make Wiesbaden safer for all pedestrians.

Friendship Festival

Ma Rio F. asked: Is the Ger-

man-American Friendship Festival also open to the German public?

Response: Yes, Ma Rio, as advertised, everyone is welcome to attend the event which started June 28 and concludes with a traditional American July Fourth bash on the last day of the festival, July 4.

fortable getting the help they need.

I challenge leaders at every level to heighten your awareness about risk factors, warning signs and available resources, especially during these summer months of increased risk. Get to know those under your charge; show them that you genuinely care by increasing access to available resources to help in their time of need. There is no substitute for engaged leadership.

As you celebrate our nation’s birthday and the freedom that those before us and we have sacrificed so much to protect, please stay safe and act responsibly.

Thank you for your dedication and selfless service to our Army and our country. May God bless you and may God bless America.

Importing pets stateside

People moving stateside this summer may take most types of pets with them if they plan ahead. However, endangered species laws prevent people from taking some turtles, birds and reptiles to the United States. “Dogs must be free of disease and be vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days before they reach the USA,” said Mike Dean, director of the U.S. European Command’s customs and Border Clearance Agency. “Puppies younger than three months and dogs in rabies-free areas such as the United Kingdom are exempted, however.” Unvaccinated dogs will be inoculated on arrival and confined for 30 days at the owner’s expense. Cats must show no signs of disease and rabies vaccination is required in most U.S. states.

People wanting to ship pet birds should consult the U.S. Department of Agriculture website at www.aphis.usda.gov/wps/portal/aphis/ourfocus/ importexport. Arrangements to ship pet birds must be made 120 days in advance of a Permanent Change of Station move.

Hessentag:

Hessen minister president honors Americans at annual showcase

Story and photo by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Hessen Minister President Volker Bouffier recognized German and American Soldiers and civilians for their lifesaving actions, community service and efforts to promote German-American relations during the 54th annual Hessentag celebration in Bensheim June 14.

“You all did a service that we will recognize today,” said the Hessen leader. “Thank you not only for what you do in your daily jobs, but what you do that goes beyond that.”

Bouffier said it was crucial to take time during the 10-day showcase of culture, trade and traditions to recognize those who live in the state and go above and beyond to help make Hessen a better place in which to reside.”It is important that we honor you here in the middle of this festival in showcasing all that Hessen has to offer. You belong where the people are,” Bouffier said.

Among the many individuals singled out for recognition by the minister president; German Brig.

Gen. Eckart Klink, commander of the Hessen Landeskommando; Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell Jr., U.S. Army Europe commander; U.S. Consul General Kevin Milas and other military and civilian leaders, were seven U.S. civilians and one Soldier from 5th Signal Command, American Forces Network, the Department of Defense Dependents Schools-Europe and U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden.

James Boeger and Mark Ardy, with 5th Signal Command’s Regional Cyber Center Europe, were recognized for their actions during an Autobahn bus accident in March.

After a bus driver lost control of the bus he was driving due to illness and crashed, Ardy and Boeger quickly came to the aid of their fellow passengers helping them to safety. Once the passengers were out of harm’s way, the two attempted to free the bus driver who was trapped in his seat. Failing to do so, they remained with him, despite the possibility of the bus overturning, until help arrived and the driver was taken to a hospital in Darmstadt.

Sgt. Danny S. Tuggle of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 5th Signal Command, received accolades from the gathered officials for his volunteer work in coaching American football to German youths. Tuggle mentored youths ages 12-18 on the Langen Knights

Jaye O’Neal of 5th Signal Command’s 102nd Signal Battalion was singled out for his efforts to provide an annual German-American friendship event for the past seven years including games, music and food.

Vincent Carlucci, a well-known supporter of U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden’s Combat Sports Program and a member of the 102nd Signal Battalion, was honored for his role in nurturing martial arts through seminars, tournaments, clinics and instruction. Carlucci, a black belt, established TeamChoco, a nonprofit international martial arts competition team with chapters around the world dedicated to assisting the military and civilian communities in the art of self-defense and combat sports preparation.

AFN-Wiesbaden’s Gary Bautell was recognized for his longtime support and promotion of GermanAmerican friendship. Bautell, who has been the president of the Federation of German-American Clubs for the past four years, and is a familiar voice to AFN listeners from his time as a Soldier and civilian broadcaster, has been highly influential in increasing American awareness and understanding of German life and culture.

USAG Wiesbaden’s Steven Eclavea, with Wiesbaden’s Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program, was noted for his many events supporting wounded warriors, discouraging drunk driving and bringing toys and friendship to

young cancer patients at Mainz University. Eclavea has also promoted German-American friendship and understanding by leading groups of BOSS members to various cultural and sporting events throughout Germany.

The Herald Union’s own Donald Seltzer, volksmarch editor and a longtime teacher with DoDDSEurope in Darmstadt, Wiesbaden and Kaiserslautern, was lauded for his more than 20-year effort to encourage Americans to get out and explore Germany by joining their German neighbors on local volksmarch trails. Seltzer has donated thousands of volunteer hours researching, networking, corresponding and writing columns for the Herald Union, About Town and the Stars and Stripes about the many opportunities available in and around Germany.

During the ceremony, Hessen Minister President Bouffier thanked the Bundeswehr and U.S. military for their service. “You brought us freedom and liberty … thank you to the American Forces.”

Members of 5th Signal Command’s 44th Expeditionary Signal Battalion from Grafenwöhr joined their Bundeswehr counterparts during Hessentag in offering visitors a look at the equipment and gear used by the German and U.S. military forces.

“We didn’t know what to expect, but it’s been a great experience,” said Sgt. Bradley Coates, 44th ESB. “Everyone has been bonding with the German people and the Bundeswehr has shown real hospitality.”

Start application process now to beat Nov. 1 deadline This year the Army is planning to send up to 25 active duty commissioned officers to law school at government expense under the Judge Advocate General’s Funded Legal Education Program.

The U.S. Army Europe Office of the Judge Advocate can help interested lieutenants and captains learn more and apply for the program.

Officers selected this year will attend law school beginning in the fall of 2015 and remain on active duty while in school.

JAG officials say applicants must have at least two, but not

more than six years of active service, at the time they begin train training, to enroll in the program. Officials recommend that interested officers review Army Regulation 27-1, Chapter 14 — The Judge Advocate General’s Funded Legal Education Program, as well as Military Personnel Message 14-123 for full information on eligibility.

Eligible officers should begin the application process early, and

immediately register to take the Law School Admission Test at the earliest opportunity, OJA officials said, to ensure they meet the requirements for the Nov. 1 application deadline. Requests to take part in the program must be submitted through command channels and the requesting officer’s point of contact at Army Human Resources Command, which is also contained in the MILPER Message 14-123.

For information or assistance in applying for the program, call Lt. Col. Sara Root at mil 337-9294 or civ (0611) 705-9294.

Response: Kerri, thanks for sharing your positive experience and allowing me to explain why the hours are limited with this additional service to regular child care.

The CDC is open for full-day care until 6 p.m. and cannot accept children for Parents Night Out while

regular care in ongoing. Because the Hainerberg CDC is a smaller facility, it cannot accommodate Parents Night Out. The Saturday program was discontinued due to low enrollment.

It is awesome in every way.

Dagger Brigade welcomes new commander Story and photo by Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

The 66th Military Intelligence Brigade welcomed one of its alumni back into its ranks as its new commander in a ceremony June 27.

Col. David Pendall succeeded Col. Kenneth Rector, who will go on to serve as chief of staff for Army Cyber Command at Fort Belvoir, Va. Pendall once served as chief of staff for reconnaissance operations center 1 in the brigade’s 24th MI Battalion when it was stationed in Heidelberg. This time he arrived to the brigade from a position as the U.S. Army intelligence liaison to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory.

Pendall has served a total of eight years in Germany, beginning with an assignment as a lieutenant at Fulda Gap during the Cold War. He pointed to the Army’s relationship with Germany as the basis for its ability to operate in Europe.

“It was true during the Cold War and it’s true today as we engage in Afghanistan and other areas,” he said. “We will continue to provide tailored teams as operational intelligence oversight for Europe … We are in Germany, but we’re

global in nature,” he added, with 65 Soldiers deployed in 13 different countries.

Before his position at MIT, Pendall served as the senior intelligence officer for Regional CommandEast in Afghanistan, concurrently serving as the G2 of the 1st Cavalry Division from 2010 to 2012.

Maj. Gen. George Franz, commander of Intelligence and Security Command, was the keynote speaker.

He welcomed Pendall and commended Rector Outoing 66th Military Intelligence Brigade commander, Col. Kenneth Rector (right), passfor “guiding the brigade es the guidon to Maj. Gen.

Julian, 10, a Pfadfinder with three years’ scouting experience, said he really enjoyed the archery.

BB gun shooting and archery were definitely the big hits with the American Scouts as well.

During the lunch break, the German Scouts displayed how to set up various types of shelter configurations by using cloth shelter sections and lashed poles, called the Kothe tent system.

The weekend wrapped up

with a closing ceremony and exchange of awards.

USAG Wiesbaden — Wackernheim, Wiesbaden Wounded warriors find hope, healing on pilgrimage

By Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Trading rucksacks for rosary beads, wounded warriors traveled near and far to take part in the 2014 Warriors to Lourdes, France Pilgrimage May 13-19.

The 56th annual Military Pilgrimage provided a time of resting, praying and healing for more than 125 wounded or disabled military personnel and their companions, chaplains and support staff. Sponsored by the Archdiocese for the Military Services and the Knights of Columbus, it is the latest event in a long history of both organizations’ service to the military and work at Lourdes. Delegations from more than 40 countries attended.

The seven-day event consisted of a number of spiritual events, including a war memorial ceremony, special Masses and events for the American pilgrims, Eucharistic procession and benediction and a grand closing ceremony that drew tens of thousands to the sacred shrine.

“No one knows the value of peace better than those who endured war,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “The Knights of Columbus are honored to be able to support — and pray with — these Soldiers and veterans as they come to Lourdes to seek the help of the Blessed Mother in their lives, enrich their faith and pray with those in uniform from around the world for peace.”

Lourdes is one of the most popular Catholic pilgrimage destinations in the world. It was the setting for a series of 19th century Marian apparitions, during which the Virgin Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, appeared to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous. Over the past 100 years, millions of pilgrims have flocked to Lourdes to visit the

Grotto and the famous baths where Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette, in the hopes of healing their bodies, deepening their faiths and growing closer to Mary.

Sgt. Sal Inga, a recent convert to Catholicism, was seeking such healing.

But, “as with anything having to do with God, it seems you get what you need, not necessarily what you want,” he remarked. “For me, what I took away from the trip was the realization that the entire trip I spent countless hours in large crowds and never once had any anxiety. For most that is probably meaningless, for me that is huge.”

Teens stay busy during summer recess

By Justyna Hinz

Special to the Herald Union

Another school year has ended; the bells have rung for the last time. Children’s voices fill housing area playgrounds.

For many Wiesbaden teens it’s a chance to visit family and friends in the United States or to get more involved in the community.

Gabriella Brown, who will be an 11th-grader next school year, said she wished she could visit her grandmother, but instead is staying in Wiesbaden. “I’m going to be one of the coaches at a soccer camp,” said Brown.

She’s not the only teen helping out in the community during the summer months.

Fellow 11th-grader Alexis Bennett is spending her summer helping her friend with her photography business.

While some teens are headed stateside, others such as 11th-grader Emily Johnson and senior Fiona Bryant are welcoming

friends and family from the States. “My friend from the States is visiting, and I’m really excited to see her,” said Jasmine White, a sophomore.

Wiesbaden has also welcomed many new teenagers who want to explore Germany during the summertime.

“I haven’t been in Germany too long, but in my summer what I would like to do is travel. I have to take advantage while I’m here; so many things to do and see,” said senior Mari Williams.

As newcomers arrive, some teens are saying goodbye to Wiesbaden.

“This summer I will be spending time hanging out with my friends and traveling to London, Mallorca and Prague,” said 11th-grader Alejandra Trejo. “This will be my last summer here in Wiesbaden, so I’m going to try to make it the best summer for me and my friends.”

Whether visiting exotic countries or just enjoying time off in the local area,

Youth keep busy with spontaneous activities, organized sports, travel, small business and more during the summer months in Wiesbaden.

Wiesbaden teens are sure to be busy during the summer, enjoying new experiences to share with their friends when school starts again in late August.

takes a break during the resting state. It recharges your batteries. Most people think that during sleep the brain is resting, but it’s important for the rest of the body, too.”

There are two drives in people that determine when they feel tired, Dooley said. The first is the circadian drive, in most people who work during the day, that makes most people want to sleep around 9 to 11 p.m. and wake up between 5 and 7 a.m. The circadian drive is affected by light and also leads people to have peak sleepiness periods in the early morning and right after lunch, with peak wakefulness periods in the late morning and later in the evening.

The tired feeling people get the longer they stay awake is from the homeostatic drive. Both drives usually coincide at night around the time most people feel the need to head for bed.

Most studies of sleep duration show that the majority of people need seven

Not getting enough sleep? It could be doing more to you than just making you tired during the day.

Sleep deprivation not only impairs an individual’s mental alertness, but can lead to physical problems as well. While people may believe sleep is important for the brain, it’s also important for other systems in the body.

“Most studies done on the effects of sleep deprivation show that sleep is helpful in restoring mood and emotion,” said Dr. (Lt. Col.) Sean Dooley, medical director for the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center, the only military clinic of its kind in Europe. “There’s a growth hormone surge while you sleep that aids in the restoration of the brain’s neurons. It’s also a designated resting state for the kidneys and (gastrointestinal) tract.

“There are a lot of things happening when the brain is resting,” Dooley continued. “The cardiovascular system

to eight hours of sleep to operate at their peak performance, Dooley said, although a small percentage of people can function with less or need more sleep each night. While such people do exist, it’s pretty uncommon to find them.

“In the military we develop compensatory mechanisms,” Dooley said.

“In fact, if you only get six hours of sleep a night for two weeks you can be as tired as if you didn’t sleep for two nights at all.”

Insufficient sleep can be perceived as irritability, excessive daytime sleepiness, or problems with concentration or memory, Dooley said, but some studies have pointed to other problems that can be related as well.

“We believe it can contribute to high blood pressure and glucose intolerance as well,” Dooley said. “Sleep does do something important for us besides make us feel better.”

The most common complaint Dooley

hears in his clinic is chronic insufficient sleep, but people can help themselves sleep better simply by preparing their bedrooms for sleep.

“You can promote healthy sleep habits,” Dooley explained, saying activities can help contribute to keeping you awake longer than you’d like. “Take things like your TV, books and IPads out of the bedroom. You should avoid fatty foods and exercise right before bed time. Try a regimen of having a certain bed time and a certain rise time.

You can also go into a dark room for a short period and then go back into the bedroom for sleep.”

Dooley said most insomnia, or the inability to obtain adequate sleep, is behavioral in nature and can be caused by things like post-traumatic stress, anxiety or depression, and the resulting sleep deprivation can only make the daytime problems worse. Insomnia can also be learned — when things like bereavements or the high operations tempo during a deployment are on your mind, for example.

But almost everyone, he said, has experienced adjustment or acute insomnia at some time.

ed, white and blue as far as the eye could see.

That’s how this year’s Independence Day Celebration and GermanAmerican Friendship Festival kicked off June 28 as some 600 community runners participated in the five-kilometer Color Run on Wiesbaden’s Clay Kaserne. As dogs, strollers, ballerinas and people of all ages sprinted away from the Wiesbaden Fitness Center to make their way around the airfield, they were pelted with colorful powder creating a flowing ribbon of running feet and red, white and blue smiles.

Participants were treated to free smoothies and T-shirts, courtesy of USAG Wiesbaden’s Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation following the run.

A few hours later it was time for the official start of the German-American Friendship Festival in Hainerberg Housing. As the U.S. Army Europe Band and Chorus warmed up the crowd, Maj. Gen. Richard C. Longo, deputy commander of U.S. Army Europe; Col. David Carstens, USAG Wiesbaden commander; and Command Sgt. Maj. Roy Rocco were joined by Wiesbaden Burgermeister Arno Gossmann and Festmeister Alexander Schramm in tapping the traditional keg of beer to start the festivities.

“Herzlich Wilkommen and welcome to the German-American Friendship Fest,” said Carstens, before welcoming USAREUR’s deputy

commander to the podium.

Both Longo and Gossmann made reference to the World Cup while acknowledging the close ties between Germans and Americans in Wiesbaden.

“Thank you to the German team for not beating our U.S. team too badly so that we could advance at the World Cup,” said Longo.

“I was first assigned to Wiesbaden in 1981. I met my wife in Wiesbaden, married my wife downtown at the Landesamt and my two children were born here,” Longo said, thanking Wiesbaden’s citizens for “sharing their city with us.”

Wiesbaden’s mayor also alluded to World Cup action, wishing the American team “best of luck in their game against Belgium. When we celebrate the last day of the fest on July 4, maybe we can both celebrate having made it into the final game.”

Gossmann thanked the garrison commander for taking the initiative to re-introduce the German-American festival after not being a part of the calendar of events in the city since the late ‘90s.

“We cannot put a pricetag on what our German friends provide,” said Carstens later during an interview with the Wiesbaden Kurier, pointing out the strong support provided

by German Polizei, firefighters and others who help Americans feel safe, secure and always welcome in their home away from home.

“This is our first big GermanAmerican festival in Wiesbaden since 1998,” said Joe Harris, festival and special events coordinator for the gar-

rison. We had about 14,000 visitors on Saturday and we’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from German and American visitors so far, saying they were surprised at how many attractions were available at the fest.”

Harris added that while some people were disappointed that not enough U.S. private organizations were represented, he explained that as the first time in many years of a joint celebration, “we’ve got to start small, and hope to get bigger and better each year. We want to have different attractions every year.”

Harris said he was most pleased to see the many smiles on young faces as youths enjoyed rides and other activities. “They’re (German and American children) not just having fun together. There’s no nationality to these screams of excitement. Little kids rock.”

Harris, too, thanked the many private organizations, garrison directorates, units, members of joint patrols and others for supporting the fest. “So many people have made this happen.

It really is a community effort.” He also lauded the “good mixture of German and American performers” featured onstage in the large fest tent.

Upcoming highlights

Visitors can look forward to a range of special events in the final two days of the festival.

On July 3 the main tent will feature variety music with DJ Stan from 4-8 p.m. and live music by the rock and variety band Room 4 Two from 8 p.m. to midnight.
