Army Emergency Relief campaign kicks off
Story and photo by

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden
Public Affairs Office
From car repairs to mortgage
payments, Army Emergency Relief
is here to help Soldiers and families
in need — like the 139 Soldiers in
Wiesbaden who received $236,000
in loans and grants from funds
raised by the community in 2014.
March 6 marked the kickoff
for this year’s campaign to raise
funds that enable “Soldiers helping Soldiers.” AER is a non-profit
organization established in 1942
to provide emergency financial
assistance to Soldiers and their
families. It offers interest-free
loans and grants to those needing
emergency financial help with rent
and mortgage, utilities and deposits,
food, medical and dental expenses
and a slew of other needs.
“This is a very important campaign that will raise funds that help
keep your Soldiers focused on their
mission,” said Mary Cheney, Army
Community Services AER officer,
speaking to Wiesbaden AER project
officers March 6.
Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Steven Broadway, senior emergency assistance
administrator for AER, spoke to
the project officers about why the
campaign is so important.
He would know. Once, as a
junior enlisted Soldier, he applied
for a loan to help with a car repair
— and the AER officer threw his application in the trash and said, “We
don’t fix cars.” He had to hitch-hike
to work during a bitter Fort Carson,
Colo. winter until his next paycheck
would pay for the repairs.
“I was an E-6 before I thought
AER did any good,” he said. “I
vowed that if I ever got a chance to
impact that area, I would. I never
turn down a loan application for
car repairs.”
Now, 74 percent of AER dollars
assist with privately owned vehicle
repairs, rent or mortgage payments
and emergency travel.
“Those alone make it worthwhile to keep AER alive and well.
We need to keep the fund healthy,”
he said. “Where else would Soldiers
go — loan sharks and high-interest
loans? It’s terrible to think about.”
Assistance is requested through
the chain of command, and Soldiers
rank E-5 and above do not need
chain of command approval. Yet de-

for the opening of the

April 17.
The closure of Hainerberg Housing has been
in the planning process
for the past five years
and has always been tied
to the opening of the new
Exchange, said Lt. Col.
Joe Hissim, Director of
Emergency Services. It
will be open only to those
normally authorized access to controlled U.S.
military installations.
“With the new PX,
it was not feasible to
continue securing individual facilities, [such
as] the schools, PX and
the Taunus movie theater.
It is more economical to
have one access control
point for the entire Hainerberg Housing,” said
Roger Gerber, Director
of Transformation Stationing Management Office. In addition, German
authorities require the
Army to control access
to the Exchange for tax
and customs purposes,
similar to operations at
the current PX.
“Besides the cost savings of a single access
control point, a controlled
perimeter also allows
us to provide additional
security to all our large
gathering areas such as
the Wiesbaden lodge, the
Wiesbaden Entertainment
Center and the commissary,” added Hissim.

Wiesbaden’s Hazardous

At first, malicious intent

relied more on their help
because our staffing is not
high, but in certain circumstances, based on our
military history we have
much better equipment

appreciate when we can
assist them. We’ve done
that several times — three

past few years we assisted
them with technology and

mutual aid is not a oneway street.”
The building was not

U.S., German Signal Soldiers strengthen partnership
By William King and
Staff Sgt. Marshall
Mason
5th Signal Command
U.S. and German Signal
Soldiers took advantage of
an opportunity to familiarize
themselves with each other’s weapons systems, form
friendships and strengthen
a partnership that is shared
between their units by participating in a pair of joint ranges
this month.
Soldiers from Charlie Company, 44th Expeditionary
Signal Battalion fired German
MG3 machine guns at a range
Feb. 10 in Erfurt, and German
Soldiers from the 383rd Communication and Information
Systems Battalion fired M16
rifles at a range Feb. 19 at the
Grafenwöhr Training Area.
“This was a great opportunity for us to build some
community relations with our
German allies and a chance for
them to familiarize themselves
with our weapon systems,” said
Sgt. Stephen M. Kulick, command post node team chief,
Company C, 44th ESB.
Kulick, the company armorer, performed preliminary
marksmanship instructions
for five different weapons,
including the M16 rifle, M4
carbine with optics, M249 light
machine gun, Mk-19 grenade
launcher and the M2 Browning
.50 caliber machine gun.
“I believe our German allies
enjoyed our presentation on the
Mk-19 the best,” Kulick said
with a smile.
The ranges, however, were
about more than just familiarizing the U.S. and German Soldiers with each other’s weapons
systems. Capt. Jacob Roecker,
company commander, said the
goal of the ranges was to open
dialogue at different levels.
“I want lieutenants talking
to lieutenants, sergeants talking to sergeants, specialists
talking to specialists, and we
want to encourage interactive
opportunities so that dialogue
can form,” he said.

some of the challenges involved
in talking with partners and allies. He pointed to the ranges
and similar training events as
the first steps toward building
their partnership together.
“Opportunities like this…
are where initiative, creative

Wiesbaden players bring ‘AIDA’ to life
By Mackinley Bullock
Special to the Herald Union
Another successful musical has closed its curtains on
the stage at Wiesbaden High
School. “AIDA,” the winter
musical, had two back-to-back
weekend performances, Feb. 27
through March 1 and March 5-7.
All shows were fairly crowded
and got nothing but standing
ovations and rave reviews.
“I really enjoyed the play.
I’m not really into musicals
that much but this one was
very entertaining to watch,”
said student Jack Tone. Jack’s
sister, sophomore Alex Tone,
played Amneris and he came

Soak up sun, splendors of Portugal
Story and photos by
Michelle Stosich
Special to the Herald Union
Portugal reveals fascinating
facts, many-splendored sights,
and plenty of sunshine to its visitors. Standing at the picturesque
Cabo da Roca, one experiences
the significance of being at continental Europe’s westernmost
point. Six hundred years of
maritime dominance began when
Vasco da Gama became the first
European to sail directly from
Europe to India. The armillary
sphere, an ancient seafarer’s
instrument, even appears on the
flag. To this day, Portuguese is
the sixth most spoken primary
language in the world.
Lisbon, a popular tourist
destination, has an easy familiarity and welcoming comfort. We
stayed in a palace that has been

one could get used to. The dining

Board games from over 100
years ago are casually displayed
in one of the sitting rooms,
creating the impression that the
families who used to play them
might walk in at any moment

The 13th-century Palace of
Sintra was particularly impressive. Inside the palace, rooms
display elaborately painted
ceilings, each with a specific
theme, such as swans, mermaids
and one with the fabulous sight
of 136 painted magpies looking
down on visitors.
Moorish influence led to
Portugal’s extensive production
and widespread use of ceramic
tiles. Many are hundreds of
years old, but the exquisite
workmanship gives a newly
made impression. The downside
of easy accessibility to these
works of art is that people covertly pry irreplaceable tiles off
of buildings and sell them for
lucrative prices. Evidence of
that unfortunate practice can be
seen in the older areas of Lisbon.
Toe-testing the waters at
Estoril and Cascais beaches
made clear that winter beaches
in Portugal are for admiration,
not use. A drive by the Estoril
Casino revealed Ian Fleming’s
inspiration for the first James
bond novel “Casino Royale.”
Every store we passed had
ceramic roosters of every conceivable design among their
wares. We puzzled over this
until we learned the legend of
the Barcelos Cock and how it
is a symbol of faith, justice and
good luck. The story stays secret
with me, though, as perhaps it
will entice you to discover the
legend for yourself, along with
all of the splendors Portugal
has to offer.
For your health
Flu vaccine remains relevant in spring
By Lt. Col. Xiomara Fray
Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic
The Wiesbaden Health
Clinic has seen a sharp increase
in the number of patients treated
for flu and influenza-like illnesses over the past weeks,
and increased flu activity was
noted across military treatment
facilities in Germany. Despite
flu virus mutation, seasonal
influenza vaccination provides
protection against at least three
strains of influenza.
Flu viruses mutate frequently and every year a new vaccine
is developed from three or four
different strains that medical
researchers believe are most
likely to cause illness during the
flu season. So it is possible that
the flu strains selected for the
vaccine may not match all the
strains of influenza viruses circulating during the flu season.
This season, officials at the
Center for Disease Control have
said that the predominant influenza A strain (H3N2) circulating
is different from the H3N2 strain
in the 2014 to 2015 influenza
vaccine. Past flu seasons in which
H3 viruses were the main flu have
lasted longer and caused more
severe illnesses than A(H1N1)
and type B viruses.
Yet even with this year’s vaccine showing to be less effective
against the drifted strain, CDC
experts said the vaccine can still
reduce severe disease and offer
protection against some of the
other influenza viruses that may
circulate later in the season. Flu
vaccination remains the most
effective measure to prevent
illness and possibly fatal outcomes, particularly in children
younger than five years, adults
65 years and older and those
vulnerable due to pre-existing
illnesses or health risk factors.
Protecting those who are at
risk remains the priority and
vaccinations programs should
continue to be offered throughout the flu season as long as flu
viruses are circulating.
The flu season can begin as
early as October and last as late
as May. An increase in influenza
B viruses has been detected in
parts of the U.S. but H3N2 viruses is still the most common
strain circulating. Increasing
influenza activity was reported
in western and central Europe
with Influenza A(H3N2) as the
dominant strain detected across
Europe. The reduced effectiveness of the vaccine might have
contributed to significantly
higher rates of hospitalizations
among adults 65 years and older
in the U.S. and in Europe.
One of the most common
complaints the clinic hears
about the seasonal flu vaccine
is the risk of getting sick.The flu
vaccine won’t cause you to get
the flu and won’t protect you
from other flu-like illnesses.
Keep in mind that there are
several other respiratory viruses
that circulate during the flu season that can cause influenza-like
illnesses.
For example, seasonal flu
and the common cold are spread
in similar ways and often share
the same symptoms: runny nose,
cough, fever, fatigue, headache
and muscle aches, but they are
caused by different viruses. It
can be difficult to tell the difference, but it is important to
understand that the flu usually
appears suddenly, generally
tends to be more severe than
the cold, more likely to lead
to secondary infections like
pneumonia, and can be lifethreatening for people with
health problems.
Medical science tells us that
a killed virus (in the flu shot) or
a weakened live virus (in the
nasal flu vaccine) does not make
you sick with the flu. There
are a number of other reasons
why you may have gotten sick
with the flu after you got a flu
shot. For one, protection by the
vaccine can vary depending on
your age and health condition.
You may be among the few that
don’t respond well to the vaccine and end up getting the flu
anyway, you may
not have been fully
protected when you
got exposed to the
flu virus or the flu
strain that made
you sick was not
included in the vaccine.
Here are some
easy steps to protect you and your
family from the
flu:
1. Get vaccinated. Although it
is typically recommended that people
get flu shots in the
fall, they can still be effective
if you get them in the spring. If
the flu is arriving in your area,
you may benefit from a flu shot.
It takes about two weeks to get
protection from a flu shot.
2. Use common sense and
everyday protection. Habits like
washing your hands frequently
and covering your mouth when
you cough will protect you and
others. Reinforcing appropriate
hand hygiene and cough etiquette, particularly in the younger
populations, is also an important
way to reduce the spread of influenza in our community.
3. Stay home if you’re sick,
and wash your hands often
to avoid catching the flu or
another virus.
4. Use antiviral medications. If your doctor believes
that antiviral medications will
benefit you, using them may
help protect you against the
flu, reduce the severity of your
symptoms or the duration of
your illness.

preventing the flu and getting
the flu vaccine, contact Lt. Col.

owering above the cobblestone
square in the city’s center, Wiesbaden’s orange-hued Marktkirche, or
Market Church, is one of the city’s
most iconic landmarks. Bearing
witness to the revelry of Fasching,
the seasonal festivals and the comings and goings of city dwellers and
visitors alike, a peek inside — and
up — is a real treat for anyone.
After all, the Lutheran church is
“God’s house, open to all people,”
according to the church’s Englishspeaking pastor Rev. Jeffrey Myers,
who is available to give group tours.
The sanctuary and concert invite you
to “pause and let your heart beat a
little slower,” he said, like the Lord
Mayor, Sven Gerich, who opens
his office window across the way
to better hear the 49 bronze carillon
bells ring out a melody.
Every Saturday an organ concert
is free and open to the public, and
pairs well with a morning spent
perusing the fruits of the farmer’s
market. The church offers flyers in
English, and groups may contact
Myers to set up a tour.
“We want everyone to feel welcome here. Even if you want to just
come in and thaw yourself from the
cold, we invite you to ‘put your feet
up before the Lord,’ as we say.”
The gallery offers the best view
of Wiesbaden, as the church’s steeple
remains the highest point in Wiesbaden at 300 feet tall. The people
of Wiesbaden wanted it that way,

Cinderella (PG) — The story of “Cinderella”
follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily
James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother.
Eager to support her loving father, Ella
welcomes her new stepmother (Cate
Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia
(Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie
McShera) into the family home. But when
Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away,
she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous
and cruel new family. Finally relegated to
nothing more than a servant girl covered in
ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella,
Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet
despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella
is determined to honor her mother’s dying
words and to “have courage and be kind.”
She will not give in to despair nor despise
those who mistreat her. And then there
is the dashing stranger she meets in the
woods. Unaware that he is really a prince,
not merely an apprentice at the palace,
Ella finally feels she has met a kindred
soul. It appears her fortunes may be about
to change when the palace sends out an
open invitation for all maidens to attend
a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again
encountering the charming Kit (Richard
Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids
her to attend and callously rips apart her
dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help
is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman
(Helena Bonham Carter) steps forward
and, armed with a pumpkin and a few
mice, changes Cinderella’s life forever.
Run All Night (R) — Brooklyn mobster and
prolific hit man Jimmy Conlon (Liam Neeson), once known as the Gravedigger, has
seen better days. Longtime best friend of
mob boss Shawn Maguire (Ed Harris),
Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his
past — as well as a dogged police detective
who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30
years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace
can be found at the bottom of a whiskey
glass. But when Jimmy’s estranged son,
Mike (Joel Kinnaman) becomes a target,
Jimmy must make a choice between the
crime family he chose and the real family
he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the
run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past
mistakes may be to keep his son from
the same fate Jimmy is certain he’ll face
himself...at the wrong end of a gun. Now,
with nowhere safe to turn, Jimmy just has
one night to figure out exactly where his
loyalties lie and to see if he can finally
make things right.

Adventure awaits in abandoned
Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital
Story and photos by
Timothy Srock
Berlin has always been an
important city in history and
a highly sought-after destination for avid travelers. Visitors in the area you may want
to consider exploring somewhere a little less known: the
Beelitz-Heilstätten Military
Hospital.
Upon pulling off the highway one will be immediately
greeted by a narrow fork in
the road surrounded by a lush
forest. One way leads to the
small, quaint town of Beelitz
while the other one begins an
adventure full of suspense
and mysterious beauty.
Travelers may consider
stopping at Landhotel Gustav
Restaurant to enjoy a delicious German-style meal and
hear the history of Beelitz
straight from the owner. The
restaurant was fully restored
from a building originally
scheduled to be demolished.
The owner is very knowledgeable and will show visitors maps and a book about
Beelitz-Heilstätten. After eating and learning the history,
it’s time for some exploration.
Beelitz-Heilstätten has 15
buildings spread out over different parts of a large forested
area. Before entering one may
notice beautiful 1800s-style
architecture and want to snap
a picture. Even though abandoned, and partially boardedup, these structures have not
lost their charm.
Take the first step inside
and instantly notice a certain
shock-and-awe factor along
with an ominous, eerie feeling. Some might say these
buildings are even haunted.
Shake off any goose bumps,
and start up the stairs until
hitting the attic. Be sure to
explore each floor from top
to bottom, and don’t miss any
rooms. Those brave enough
will even descend into the
dark basements, so make sure
to bring a flashlight.
After spending the day
exploring each building and
patient cell, some may then
want to take a nice stroll
around the beautiful grounds,
which offer a nice hike
through a vast forest. Each
building coexists with nature
in a beautiful, magnificent
fashion and is deserving of
special attention.
After walking around
and exploring every bit of
Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital,
consider stopping back at
Gustav’s for dinner or even
to stay the night. When you
do leave, make sure that
your camera is full of both
beautiful and eerie pictures.
Beelitz-Heilstätten will be
a trip to remember and tell
friends about for years to
come.
