With almost 20 years of experience as a Department of Defense civilian, Jan Meert knows how to take care of people — and now

she’s got the credentials to prove it.

Meert received the esteemed Stalwart Award during a ceremony at Installation Management Command Headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, March 25. The IMCOM Stalwart Award recognizes individuals from more than 70 Army garrisons around the world who distinguish themselves among their peers and supervisors as outstanding IMCOM Soldiers and civilians.

It took signatures from the garrison commander all the way up the chain of command to the Secretary of the Army, two years’ worth of paperwork and thousands of hours of manpower to recognize excellence at the highest level. With a flourish, it was done and there was no doubt: U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden is a “Superior Unit.”

Adding to “Your Home in Germany’s” designations as an Army Community of Excellence in 2011 and a Sustained Excellence Community in 2012, the garrison was awarded the esteemed Army Superior Unit Award during a ceremony March 18 at the

Tony Bass Auditorium, with past and present garrison commanders present.

The Army Superior Unit Award was established by the Secretary of the Army to recognize units that display outstanding meritorious performance during a difficult and/or challenging mission carried out under extraordinary circumstances, said Michael Formica, Installation Management CommandEurope region director, who spoke at the ceremony. For USAG Wiesbaden, this meant excelling at providing the highest quality services to its Soldiers, Families and civilians while supporting numerous deployments and U.S. Army Europe’s move from Heidelberg to Wiesbaden.

Wiesbaden was nominated for the

Superior Unit Award by former U.S. Army Europe Commanding General Lt. Gen. David Campbell, who wrote in his endorsement letter that the garrison’s previous awards “provide ample evidence thereof and underscores this garrison’s status as the garrison of choice to live, work and raise families.”

Continued from page 1 this award almost since she’s been here,” said Robert Schloesser, director of Wiesbaden Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

“She builds a team that is loyal and has the same quest for excellence that she has.”

Over the past year, Meert enforced tough standards and expectations of her team resulting in hundreds of training opportunities across the full spectrum of social services, training more than 27,000 customers.

Under her leadership, the Wiesbaden ACS averages more than 35,000 customer contacts monthly and maintains a consistent customer satisfaction rate above 98 percent with a 100 percent on-time followup rate. In July 2014, the ACS team was once again accredited, earning another perfect score of 100 percent out of 208 standards that were inspected; this was the second perfect score for Meert and her team.

Her accomplishments include increasing the number of volunteers from 1,933 registered volunteers to 2,859 to mitigate the impacts of sequestration, thereby increasing

the number of German language classes offered; introducing two extremely successful volunteer resiliency-focused programs; and implementing the garrison’s first “Holiday Food Bank,” which provided cost-free nonperishable food items to any garrison ID cardholder in need; the program touched nearly 100 families in its inaugural year.The Angel Tree gift program ensures 304 children in the community received gifts for the holidays.

Meert mentored the Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) program manager to transform the program.

A partnership with the University of Maryland University College to use its art room allowed Survivors to meet and express themselves through painting together. She addressed issues with TRICARE that prevented Survivors in Europe from receiving their authorized health care benefit, which was particularly important for surviving children of the fallen.

Finally, a memorial garden was dedicated in memory of fallen Soldiers and to honor their surviving Families.

Customs fines Kinder egg mailers

Meert has served as Wiesbaden ACS director for seven years.

“It’s the capstone in my career with Army Community Service and USAG Wiesbaden. I’m very humbled for even being nominated for the award, let alone actually receiving it, but I certainly couldn’t have won it without the support of the ACS team, Dr. Schloesser and the garrison command,” she said. “It’s been an honor serving this great community and working alongside the fine professionals of Army Community Service.”

Meert will depart Wiesbaden with her family in June for a post

“I am extremely proud of the garrison’s many accomplishments during this time of transformation, and especially pleased that the sense of community remains high as you continue to deliver the Army’s Soldier for Life promises to our constituency,” said

Formica. “My challenge to you is to continue to sustain practices and past achievements that led to this recognition, and to never be satisfied that we have accomplished all that we can in our mission to take care of Soldiers and their Families.

“Congratulations on a job well done,” he concluded. “You are a world-class organization, and now recognized as such.”

On the (job) hunt

A jobseeker talks to a prospective employer at Army Community Service’s Career Fair held March 13 at the Wiesbaden Entertainment Center.

Approximately 120 people attended, 202 interviews were conducted and 53 offers were made. Feedback from fairgoers and employers was positive, including “The fair has helped me find prospective employers. I have been given four job offers” and “A lot of selection. Very friendly and courteous. Kept the process professional but comfortable.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents will remove Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs from baggage or any package mailed stateside, and those who ship these eggs or similar products can be fined as they are deemed a choking hazard by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Shippers have an obligation to declare items they are mailing on the customs declaration forms to avoid penalties. However, other Kinder brand candy products that do not contain the small toy can be mailed without restriction.

CDCs reorganize to accommodate children Story and photo by Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

With the Hainerberg Housing area access control point becoming active March 15, it was necessary to ensure the community’s “most precious resources” remained inside the gate. So on March 13, the Hainerberg Child Development Center closed and March 16, the children cared for there were provided care at other CDCs on Hainerberg and Clay Kaserne.

Garrison Commander Col. Mary Martin and CDC administrators held a townhall meeting at the School Age Care Center in Hainerberg March 11 to explain the move to affected parents.

Almost two dozen parents attended to express their concerns about lack of timely transportation from Hainerberg to Clay Kaserne, the effect the changes would have on their children and questions about why the Hainerberg CDC was renovated and then closed.

The city of Wiesbaden repaired flood damage that had occurred several times before, as the building was susceptible to flooding, Martin explained. The building was not planned to be reopened. But after terrorist attacks occurred in Paris, it was deemed necessary to hasten the ACP by one month and ensure child care was behind an ACP. “I will apologize a thousand times for inconveniences before I apologize for the loss of a child,” said Martin. “I

Kim Formica, wife of Installation Management Command-Europe Region Director Michael Formica, smiles at children during a tour of the Clay Kaserne CDC with its director, Melissa Crawford (right) March 18. made a plan and I’m sticking to it. This is about your safety, and moreover, your children’s safety.”

Child, Youth and School Services and the garrison are making efforts to accommodate children being displaced, she continued.

“I didn’t want to tell you we were closing with no hope,” she said.

Four Child Development Homes are being developed from empty stairwell housing in Hainerberg. As soon as the homes have passed inspection, they will be used as space for part-day toddlers

currently cared for in the existing CD Home. Children displaced from the Hainerberg CDC will have first priority for these homes, said Martin.

In the meantime, part-day toddlers are being cared for in the Child Development Home (Building 7785) at 33 Texasstrasse; part-day preschool children are in Clay Kaserne CDC (Building 1502) and share space with the Strong Beginnings morning class, but still

receive preschool lessons. The room is large enough for the Strong Beginnings and preschool children to move as a group from one side of the module to the other. (Army regulations state that different age groups may not be mixed, and CDCs must abide by this rule in order to maintain accreditation.)

Hourly care reservations are being honored in another CDC. Parent Central Services staff will contact parents if a toddler or preschool hour care reservation was made for March 2015.

Martin added that in 2012, there was a plan to build a new CDC, but then sequestration was enacted and the plans had to be abandoned for budgetary reasons. She has asked her staff to relook at the plans and is planning to present them to the Army staff, but bears no promises.

Parents were appreciative of the opportunity to present their concerns in an open forum and expressed praise for the CYSS staff and the CDC – “the best CDC in our 17 years in the Army,” said one mother.

“You have resilient children and they bounce back better sometimes than adults,” concluded Martin.

Schools page — Partners in education 5th Signal visit bolsters support Story and photo by Will King 5th Signal Command Public Affairs Office

Unit sponsorships offer a military boost to schools, and 5th Signal Command’s support of Wiesbaden High School is no exception.

The command’s mission is to “build, operate, defend and extend network capabilities to enable mission command and create tactical, operational, and strategic flexibility for Army, Joint, and Multi-national forces in the European Command and Africa Command areas of responsibility,” lending a unique technical expertise. Com-

mander Col. Jimmy Hall Jr. and Command Sgt. Maj. Harry Mercado took an opportunity to tour the school’s classrooms and facilities with administrators March 11.

5th Signal Command not only sponsors the high school, but also provides technical assistance with computers, judges for competitions and mentors and volunteers to assist with school needs.

“I’m very pleased.

This is a very pleasant situation to be in as an administrator of the school,” said Principal Greg Hatch. “I know that I’ve got just a wide variety of skills or numbers of people when I need them.

As we identify needs where we could use assistance from outside the building, we just contact one of the senior NCOs from 5th Signal and it just gets done,” Hatch said.

The partnership is especially beneficial for the school’s science, technology, engineering and math classes and its RoboWarriors Club.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve never seen a commander take such an active interest,” said Peter Witmer, school liaison officer.

“It’s a good school and a good program, and I’m glad that we’re a part of it,” Hall said.

Col. Hall speaks with Peter Witmer in the robotics lab during a tour of the school’s facilities.

Partners in Print

Teaching and learning were in full swing after school at Hainerberg Elementary School March 19.

First-grade teachers and Tammy Williams, a literacy specialist, offered a “Partners in Print” workshop for parents and students to improve reading skills. Williams shared tips, tricks and strategies, and then students and parents put them to the test through a variety of activities.

For your health Telehealth brings long-distance specialists to you

Photo by Philip Jones

Erica Taylor, nurse director of the LRMC Telehealth Program, uses the telehealth cart otoscope to conduct a real-time tympanic membrane exam for Physician Assistant Steven Cain to evaluate on his own computer monitor and provide an appropriate plan of care.

Special to the Herald Union Landstuhl Regional Medical Center Public Affairs Office

Telehealth is paving the way for the future of military medicine in Europe Regional Medical Command .

Telehealth bridges the geographical distances between patients and specialty care providers, increases patient access to care and supports mission readiness.

This innovative approach to military medicine allows specialty care providers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center to cross commands, countries and continents to provide high-quality, patient-centered care to beneficiaries residing in or deployed to Europe.

Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support longdistance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, and public health and health administration.

LRMC established its Telehealth Program Office in January 2014 as part the Defense Health Agency’s desired end-state to seamlessly integrate telehealth into routine patient care by the year 2020. Since its inception, LRMC telehealth has steadily proven its relevancy in today’s military healthcare system in Europe.

Using telehealth has allowed a variety of LRMC medical specialists to treat patients at outlying Army Health Clinics in Belgium, Germany and Italy, all the while decreasing the need for patient travel to LRMC and reducing time away from work.

Video-teleconferencing technology and advanced medical devices such as stethoscopes allow LRMC providers to listen in real-time to patient heart and lung sounds. Other examples, such as otoscopes to perform real-time ear exams, and general exam cameras to provide dermatology quality skin exams, are helping telehealth providers to successfully transition from the traditional tele-behavioral health era into a tele-comprehensive specialty care era.

Full-time telehealth nurses have been hired at Vilseck, Wiesbaden and Stuttgart Patch Army Health Clinics to support these high-quality, synchronous appointments between patients and their specialty care providers. Telehealth is also available at other Army Health Clinics in Europe but not currently supported with full-time nurses.

Telehealth nurses are highly trained and qualified to conduct appointments and act as surrogates to assist in the examination for providers and ensure there is no degradation in quality of care when using telehealth.

“I often find that my patients are initially curious about their telehealth appointment, but by the end they are surprised and impressed with the quality of their examination and encounter with their provider,” said Robin Smith, a telehealth nurse at Vilseck Army Health Clinic. Smith is well-versed in telehealth as both a practitioner and a beneficiary.

“I have also experienced telehealth as a patient and as the mother of two children that received care via telehealth,” said Smith. “Receiving care from special-

ists at LRMC via telehealth meant my children and I were able to stay in the U.S. healthcare system while living overseas, and it is also minimized the number of trips we needed to make back and forth to LRMC.”

“...by the end they are surprised and impressed with the quality of their examination and encounter with their provider.”

What once may have required a patient to travel multiple times to LRMC may now be reduced to just one trip. With the use of telehealth, patients can complete their pre-operative and post-operative appointments in the comfort of their own clinic, and only need to travel to LRMC for their scheduled procedure.

Additionally, telehealth supports a variety of patient care needs such as nutritional counseling, sleep study counseling, and educational classes for procedures such as vasectomies.

“Telehealth essentially takes the outlying Army health clinics, with otherwise limited access to specialty care providers, and turns them into their own Regional Medical Centers,” said Erica Taylor, Nurse Director of the Telehealth Program.

If you receive a referral for a healthcare specialist, ask your doctor or nurse about telehealth as an option or call the LRMC Telehealth Program Office at mil 590-4600 or civ (06371) 9464-4600.

Culture shock

Returning to America after 26 years abroad Story and photos by George Smith Special to the Herald Union

When I first came to Southern California after living 26 years in Germany, I heard questions from tanned guys in shorts that went something like, “Dude, how does it feel to leave a land of constant moisture for the land of perpetual sun?” “Well,” I’d say, “Park the tofu and the skateboard and I’ll share my wisdom, young one.”

I arrived in California right after Thanksgiving in 2013, feeling like I had landed in an exciting new foreign country. But the U.S. overwhelmed me with choices. There were so many detailed and confusing TV, Internet and phone plans that I felt to figure them out I needed a teenage lawyer with a minor in accounting.

Outdoors, differences are even greater. California smells like heat and Germany smells like rain. Germany offered green forests and lots of clouds. Southern California gives me blue skies and golden hills. Sure, a cynic might call the golden hills “dead brown vegetation scorched by constant sun.” But when it comes to too much nature, I’ll take the wind storms and snow of Germany over California’s earthquakes, wild fires and mud slides.

As you might expect in a desert climate, Southern Californians battle with lines of ants trying to breach house defenses, rattlesnakes behind bushes and black widows waiting in ambush in the garage. But I prefer Cali’s crawlers over Germany’s flyers. Germans rarely use screens, so mosquitos and house flies constantly buzzed into our off-post home for dinner, just to bug us.

When it comes to larger wildlife, in Germany I often found deer, rabbits and wild pigs on the menu.

In Southern California, I’m on the menu. I’d go for walks and imagine the mountain lions and coyotes whispering to each other, “I’m starving.

Herald Union

He’ll do.”

I do relish the diversity of the people in Southern California. Hispanic, Asian, African, Indian and traditional American cultures blend into one place, yielding an exciting mix of food and entertainment.

While both the United States and Germany have great food and drink choices, I feel American diversity gives its cuisine the edge. Give me an American steak or an In-N-Out hamburger over the German version.

But I still haven’t found an American restaurant that can beat German schnitzel. I stopped by a place called “Wienerschnitzel” that didn’t serve any schnitzel — just hot dogs on a stick and hot dogs on a bun. When it comes to drinks, I’ll take a German Pils over an American beer, and a German Riesling over a Chardonnay, but California wines beat German Dornfelders and other German reds.

When it comes to traffic, it’s a draw. While I like driving as fast as I want on a German autobahn without tolls, the multi-hour traffic jams are not fond memories. Traffic jams in my part of California are slow-downs, not two-hour complete stops. I don’t enjoy the California law that allows motorcycles to pass between full lanes of cars, or the toll roads. And while seven-lane high ways help, I don’t like the “all lanes equal” concept where drivers pass you on the left or right.

Other comparisons? When I left Germany, I traded my overseas housing and post allowances and largely tax-free status for California’s taxes on just about everything except flossing. In Germany I’d shop and wonder

if anyone worked there other than a cashier. In the United States I walk in and two or three “associates” battle to be my new best friend.

There is another side to the courtesy thing. When I first came to California I thought the people were more respectful than they were in Germany. They called me “sir” a lot. But, as I now know, “sir” is just code for “Wow, I’ll bet you’re older than the golden hills.”

So how do I think Germany compares with California? Well, for me, life is about experiencing the now, not missing the yesterday or dreaming of the tomorrow. You should totally and completely throw yourself into enjoying wherever you are. Sure, I miss Germany. I wish I could take the parts of Germany I love and mix them into California.

Part of the reason I stayed 26 years and would have stayed longer is that I picked up the ultimate souvenir: my German wife, Brigitte. Add to that my then 14-year-old daughter and 19-year-old son who were both going to German schools.

While it has been challenging for the kids to leave life-long friends and learn in English, they’re doing fine.

We’re happy to be together in the exciting “foreign” land of California

Sgt. Robert Blair, a combat medic at the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic and a native Canadian, and Thandeka Mthana, a 1-214th Aviation Regiment spouse originally from South Africa, were among a group of nine candidates from eight countries who became naturalized citizens during a ceremony at the Frankfurt Consulate March 12. With an oath followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, it was done.

U.S. Ambassador to Germany John Emerson was on site to personally congratulate the new citizens.

“This is a special moment for me; my wife Kimberly and I specifically asked to participate in this ceremony,” said Emerson, whose mother was a naturalized citizen from Canada.

“They say you are born into your family but you choose your friends; by the same token, you were born into your native country but you chose to become citizens of the United States.

Beyond that, some of you chose to fight in the military before you were even a citizen. That is an extraordinary accomplishment.”

Blair moved from Canada to Lynden, Wash. when he was six years old and always knew he wanted to follow his grandfather and great-grandfather’s footsteps and serve in the Sgt.
