Garrison hosts community forum to address concerns

By Emily JenningsU.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Commander Col. Mary Martin, in partnership with host nation officials and security experts, hosted a community forum Feb. 22 at the Wiesbaden Middle School multipurpose room to address concerns and provide information about the housing of refugees in the city of Wiesbaden.

More than 200 residents of Aukamm, Crestview and Hainerberg housing, as well as others concerned about the ongoing refugee migration in the city attended the forum.

A panel of U.S. and city officials shared information and statis-tics and provided reassurance about safety concerns at the event.

Martin began the meeting by addressing the community’s concerns, and highlighting the command’s confidence in the city’s efforts to keep the military community safe.

“We believe that our host nation provides the best, probably better than any other garrison throughout the region, when it comes to supporting our efforts, and what we do here in this community,” Martin said. “Whenever we call, they are always there to support. They help us keep things safe. When the Paris incident happened, the first people we called on were our host nation partners, who then right away provided extra Polizei patrols to our communities, to our open housing areas ... to help our MPs.

“They’re always there to assist, so they are great partners,” she continued.

USAREUR HHBN hosts African American History Month event

By Emily JenningsU.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden

Public Affairs

U. S. Army Europe HHBN hosted an African American History Month observance Feb. 25 in the Taunus Theater on Hainerberg.

The theme of this year’s event was “Hallowed Grounds: Sites of African American Memory,” a topic that guest speaker Col. Ameed Micko highlighted throughout his remarks. He started with some wise words from his grand-father.

“We tend to condemn what we don’t understand,” he said.

He said that as you break

down these barriers, you have to take yourself outside of your comfort zone and make an ef-fort to understand people who are different than yourself.

He said this rings especially true in the military.

“You don’t really care who has your back as long as some-body has your back,” Micko said. “And you don’t really care whose back you have, as long as you’re prepared to have their back.”

Sometimes it seems frustrat-ing that we are still dealing with racial challenges and cultural differences, he said, but we have made great strides.

Wiesbaden Mayor Arno Gossmann, speak-ing through an interpreter, highlighted the long-standing friendship between the city and the American military community.

“I am very happy to be able to report that the Wiesbadeners who have been here for a while as well as more recently added Wiesbaden locals ... work very well together to tackle issues and also to have a good time together,” he said.

“We work together when it comes to issues such as helicopter noise; we work together when it comes to fun, like the German-American Friendship Fest or the holiday concert,” Gos-smann continued. “We do these things together as friends, and being friends also means that you share information, that you discuss issues, whether these issues concern local German or Wiesbaden residents, or more recently issues concerning migrants or people looking for refuge in our city.”

The mayor acknowledged people’s concern and reminded community members that we all must support each other to maintain communi-cation throughout this process.

“We have seen a steep increase in people seeking refuge in Wiesbaden over the last year or so,” Gossmann said. “We have devel-oped a culture of welcoming people into our community. We are well aware that this is not just a task for the politicians, but requires the participation of the citizens, and we honor the people’s right to ask questions and have those questions answered.”

Lt. Col. Michael Zink, USAG Wiesbaden director of emergency services, said the city of Wiesbaden has historically been one of the safest cities in Germany and there have been no significant reports of increased crime in the city attributed to refugees. He also said the garrison and the host nation have communication and a superb relationship.

“I have never seen the unparalleled rela-tionship we have here in the state of Hesse, in Wiesbaden, with the Polizei,” he said. “We are talking constantly, and we work together for the safety and security of the community.”

Deputy Chief for the Wiesbaden Polizei Thomas Fink underscored the excellent com-munication and cooperation between the Polizei and military police.

“I would like to continue the point that Lt. Col. Zink made, and that is the outstanding relationship we have with our counterparts here at the garrison with the military police. I have been observing that for the last 10 years, and it is a unique relationship,” he said through an interpreter.

“We have regular meetings where we

exchange information, where we discuss and assess the security situation, but we also have joint exercises where we prepare ourselves in ... cooperation for any potential threats that we may have to face,” Fink said.

When the U.S. Army Europe headquarters was moved from Heidelberg to Wiesbaden, an assessment was done for the security situation, Fink said. And ever since, the security measures have been at a high level.

“There’s a high level of protection on the ground for the entire community already,” he said.

There was fear that crime rates would rise, he said, when a large number of people were seeking refuge in Germany last year. But now, 6 months later, he said that there have been no significant incidents that have been tied to refugees in Wiesbaden. In fact, crime in public spaces has actually gone down in the city, ac-cording to cited crime statistics released recently by the police.

Despite living in a relatively low-crime city and having a strong and closely collaborative police and security presence, Zink reminded community members to continue to practice common sense safety measures, as always, such as locking doors, hiding valuables, not walking alone at night, not carrying large amounts of cash and knowing how to call police and report-ing suspicious activity either over the phone or through the iReport app.

“Be aware of your surroundings at all times,” he said. “Crime prevention is a com-munity effort.”

First, thank you for your attendance at the Community Forum on Feb. 22. The gar-rison Public Affairs team and other garrison and host nation assets came together to ensure we could best address your safety and security concerns in an expeditious manner to provide you the best, fact-based feedback. I hope you found the forum useful and know that we are putting additional plans in place to ensure you feel just as safe as you are in U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden: “Our Home in Germany.”

We are planning the follow up to the Feb. 22 Community Forum for the third week of March — we’ll advise the ex-act date and location as soon as we lock it in. Please see the articles in this edition of the Herald Union for answers and additional information. Thank you for being the best part of our community!

MWR questionAnonymous said: I see a

conflict of interest here with your fitness staff members teaching class and personal training sessions and you all are also charging for that service. MWR is a nonprofit, is it not, and I see a 100 percent profit being made with this system? I should be able to receive in-struction from your paid staff members for no cost, is that not what you are paying them for? There appears to be a conflict of interest here.

Response: Outside of

Army Community Services, Family and MWR is a Non-Appropriated Funded (NAF) organization, not an appropri-ated funded organization, as most garrison functions are.

You are correct Family and MWR is a non-profit organization; however, many NAF operations are only par-tially funded by the Army and therefore, like most non-profit organizations, we must gener-ate income to make up funding shortfalls. For example, the labor to operate the Functional Fitness Annex is not funded.

We make up some of this shortfall in funding by pro-viding some of our services as “pay as you go” services. That is why we charge for personal fitness trainers, massages and aerobics classes, as well as run the smoothie bar in the Physi-cal Fitness center.

Funds generated from these services and activities pay for some of the labor and expense associated with the Functional fitness Annex.

This allows us to provide valuable programming to you and the rest of the community, whereby we otherwise would not be able to do.

www.wiesbaden.army.mil ......................................................................... March 3, 2016 Herald Union

News and features

The following questions and answers were com-piled from information provided during the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden, Army Community Forum to discuss the Refugee Migration in Germany, Feb. 22. USAG Wiesbaden command leadership, host nation law enforcement, and Wiesbaden city officials partici-pated in the discussion and provided input.

1) How many refugees are in Wiesbaden and what are the demographics?

In 2013, 288 refugees were assigned to WiesbadenIn 2014, 788 refugees were assigned to WiesbadenIn 2015, 1,885 refugees were assigned to WiesbadenAnd in 2016, 1,262 refugees are scheduled to arrive

by the end of March.The refugees arriving in Wiesbaden have already

gone through an initial registration process and the demographics of arrivals vary from week to week.

The last few months of 2015 Wiesbaden saw a trend towards more single males and females arriving and the first month of 2016 the trend moved towards more families arriving.

The countries of origin include; Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and Somalia.

2) Are refugees in Wiesbaden already registered or what asylum process stage are they in?

There are some cases where a decision on an asylum request has already been made; however, due to the large numbers arriving, most individuals are waiting on a decision. Individuals arriving from Syria have a temporary right to stay because the assumption is they can’t be sent back to a war area.

3) Are there services available to help refugees integrate?

After an asylum application is accepted, there are numerous resources and services to assist refugees with integrating into their new home. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees provides a 100-page Welcome to Germany brochure with information and resources. Topics include housing, education, employment, language, health care, sports, senior citizen services, religion, politics, important phone numbers, public transportation maps and more. The brochure can be found at (link is in English) www.bamf.de/EN/Migra-tion/AsylFluechtlinge/asylfluechtlinge-node.html. The brochure is in German with the main subheads translated into 13 different languages.

The Hessian State Government has also created a refugee guide to provide a cultural orientation when refugees first arrive in Germany. The guide has been produced in eight different languages. To view an English copy of the guide go to https://soziales.hessen.de/sites/default/files/media/hsm/refugee-guide_eng-lisch_web.pdf.

4) Where can I find more English language resources to better understand the asylum process?

Europe is currently experiencing the largest migra-tion of refugees and internally displaced persons on the European continent since World War II. Refugees arriving in Wiesbaden have already gone through an initial registration process. To learn more about the asylum process in Germany visit the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees website (link is in Eng-lish) at www.bamf.de/EN/Migration/AsylFluechtlinge/asylfluechtlinge-node.html.

5) What will the refugees do for employment?Language skills are a prerequisite to learn a trade

or get a job and ultimately integration. To achieve this there are a large number of volunteers currently giving language classes. The goal is for refugees to be able to use their professional skills as quickly as possible and integrate within their neighborhoods.

6) Is Wiesbaden still a safe city since the influx of refugees?

Yes. A recent host nation crime report concluded that the crime rate, especially in public spaces, has gone down, and within the last six months there have been no significant incidents that can be tied to refugees within the city of Wiesbaden. During the forum, the deputy chief of police of Wiesbaden reported, “the downtown area of Wiesbaden, as well as the different neighborhoods — are safe.” Community members are reminded to remain vigilant and practice personal protection measures at all times, in all locations.

7) Should women take any additional precau-tions when walking around Wiesbaden?

All U.S. personnel stationed in Europe are reminded to stay vigilant and make personal security a habit at home and while out and about, regardless of gender.

8) Which refugee centers are in proximity to U.S. military installations?

The American Arms Hotel, is a former U.S. facility located on Frankfurterstrasse, that is being used by the City of Wiesbaden as an initial reception center housing refugees since December 2015. A refugee facility on Hans-Bredow-Straße will be opening at the end of March. The new facility is situated next door to the Landeskommando Hessen, or the Hessian Forces Command (German Army of the State of Hessen).

9) Are the empty buildings across from Crest-view housing being renovated to house refugees?

No. Approximately eight buildings surrounding Crestview housing on Neptunestrasse and Bierstaedter Hoehe were previously returned to the host nation. Two of the four buildings on Neptunestrasse are be-ing demolished. The other buildings on Bierstaedter Hoehe have been sold to individuals and are currently not being renovated to house refugees.

10) Are there buildings in the Aukamm com-munity that will be used to house refugees?

No; however, there are a few German family owned homes within the Aukamm community.

11) I have concerns with living in an ungated military housing area. What is being done to ensure resident’s safety?

USAG Wiesbaden maintains a constant information exchange with host nation authorities to ensure we are able to react appropriately to changes that could impact the safety and security of residents. We have increased joint law enforcement surveillance within our communities and continue to balance force protection measures to ensure a safe working environment for Soldiers and Family members. Community members are asked to use the iReport system to report suspi-cious activity. If you see something, say something immediately, call the Military Police desk at (0611) 705-114 or the Polizei at 110.

The garrison is also working several physical security projects in the Crestview housing area to enhance the safety and security of the installations at night. Residents can help maintain physical security by regularly reporting any broken locks or lighting to the Housing Division at DSN 548-HELP or civ

(0611) 143-548-HELP.12) Why can’t all community members live

in closed housing areas like Hainerberg or Clay Kaserne?

At this time, the current local threat level does not warrant closing the open housing areas. Approximately 40 percent of military families are able to live within closed housing areas in Europe and greater than 60 percent have to live off-post, or in leased housing, or in open housing areas like Aukamm and Crestview. The safety, protection and security of Army families in Wiesbaden is a priority for Army leadership, and for our host nation partners no matter where military families reside. The Army is grateful for and dependent upon this partnership for providing peace of mind.

13) Is there a timeline for the completion of the physical security improvement projects within Crestview, such as the installation of the pedestrian lighting?

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden is working several physical security projects in the Crestview housing area to enhance safety, security and walkability of the installations at night.

These projects include neighborhood lighting upgrades and various perimeter gates and fencing repairs. The lighting improvements are part of an overall garrison plan that includes the installation of pedestrian-level lighting along pathways, broader general lighting outside of pathways-linking to resi-dences, flood lights at building emergency exits and the replacement of street lamps to LED (performed by the City). The intent is to enhance safety, security and walkability of the installations at night.

The pedestrian scale lighting in Crestview and Au-kamm communities are funded and will be completed by the end of September. The street lamp project is funded and being coordinated with the host nation because the streets in these communities are not owned by the Army. Re-lamping has been completed on Clay Kaserne, and Hainerberg is scheduled to begin in April. Aukamm and Crestview will follow shortly thereafter.

The design contract for the Crestview gate and fence repairs has been awarded and construction/repairs could begin within the year.

14) How can I donate goods to the refugees?It is challenging for U.S. personnel in Europe to

donate goods due to customs and tax laws. U.S. personnel are permitted to donate items to

organizations assisting refugees as long as it is done in a private capacity and does not interfere with official duties. Red Cross donation boxes are located next to the recycle center on Clay Kaserne. For information regarding customs regulations contact the U.S. Forces Customs office on Clay Kaserne at DSN 537-3935 or civ (0611) 143-537-3935.

15) How can I volunteer with organizations assisting refugees?

U.S. personnel and their dependents stationed in Germany interested in reaching out to German orga-nizations assisting refugees should contact the City of Wiesbaden Refugee Organization Office, or the Flüchtlinge Organisationsbüro at civ (0611) 31-2608 /(0611)-31-2622 or email [email protected].

Local Girl Scout receives Silver Award recognition

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs

Ami Rose Heiges, a local Girl Scout cadette and Wiesbaden Middle School student was presented the Girl Scout Silver Award in a special ceremony at the Hainerberg chapel, Jan. 6.

The prestigious Silver Award is the second highest award of the Girl Scouts of the USA, and the highest award a Girl Scout cadette can earn.

“I have known Ami Rose since she was one year old, and it is a great pleasure to see her recognized for this achievement. She has really grown,” said Dr. Susan Hargis, executive board member of the USA Girl Scout Overseas – North Atlantic.

As part of the application process, Heiges was required to identify a community issue and to develop a project that addresses the problem.

Inspired by the Disney/Pixar movie “Inside Out” Hei-ges chose a concern for children growing up in military families – moving, and created an event to help young girls connect with their emotions during a permanent change of station.

The movie is about a young girl from the Midwest and how she deals with her conflicting emotions, — Joy, Fear,

Anger, Disgust and Sadness – when faced with relocating to the city of San Francisco.

“I wanted to have an educational presentation that would allow young girls to recognize some of their emo-tions followed by fun activities that would teach coping skills and strategies,” Heiges said.

Like the movie, Heiges’ event featured five activity stations each focusing on an emotion; joy, sadness, fear, disgust and anger.

Informational handouts on dealing with emotions were made available to participants as well as apps with downloads for sharing resources. After rotating through the stations, participants watched the movie Inside Out.

“It is so wonderful to see a young girl like Ami Rose put so much thought and effort into a project like this. Girl Scouting really helps develop life-long skills for our young girls,” said Kelli Kelly, a Girl Scout leader who helped assist Heiges.

The event took place last October and more than 100 girls ages 5-18 participated.

During the award presentation Heiges presented cer-tificates of appreciation to the Wiesbaden Community Spouses Club and volunteers who assisted during the event.

Commentary by U.S. Army Garrison

Wiesbaden Public Affairs

It is a tradition here at the Herald Union to allow outgo-ing Public Affairs staff a fare-well article, a commentary on their time here serving the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden community.

This week the Public Affairs Office, USAG Wies-baden, and in reality all of U.S. Army Europe, bid a fond farewell to an icon.

Teri Viedt, deputy public affairs officer here, former public affairs officer for USAG Darmstadt, and holder of the German Cross of Merit has retired. While she declined to write an article of her own, we could not let her departure go unmentioned.

For the past 34 years, Teri has been a mainstay in the Army Public Affairs com-munity. Many of you may know her, and if you do, you know the wake she left behind her. If you don’t, well, you missed out.

Teri has shaped relations between our host nation and the Army and done more things than we have space to

mention to positively impact the Soldiers, family members and civilians that reside here in Germany.

The Public Affairs Of-fice thanks Teri for all she’s given, and wishes her well in her very-deserved retirement. With her departure, we not only lose a seemingly never-ending font of knowledge, but a coworker, friend and mentor.

We may not be lost without her, but finding our way will definitely be difficult. Good luck, farewell and please answer your phone if we call, you’re probably the only one who has the answer we need.

Sending Soldiers into space may seem un-usual for an Army that conducts a large part of its missions on the ground, but during the next two years NASA’s International Space Station will have at least one active duty or retired Army astronaut on board.

Retired Army Col. Tim Kopra launched, Dec. 15, and is scheduled to return, June 5. He will be joined by retired Army Col. Jeff Williams, March 18.

Upon Williams’ return, retired Army Col. Shane Kimbrough is set to launch, Sept. 22, and Col. Mark Vande Hei will be making his rookie flight in March 2017.

All but Vande Hei will be commanders dur-ing the second half of their six-month missions.

“The Army is always gravitating toward hav-ing more representation in those longer duration flights on the space station than the other services have,” Vande Hei said. “We have a very good reputation for going places and staying. And we’re doing that in space.”

All active duty Army astronauts are assigned to the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command’s NASA detachment at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The newest class of astronauts includes Lt. Col. Drew Morgan and Maj. Anne McClain. Either could be assigned for ISS ex-peditions beginning in the next 12 to 18 months.

McClain said she really likes how varied astronaut training is from day to day.

“Being in the Army, you don’t stay in one job very long,” she said. “I was nervous coming here thinking this is going to be my one job for a very long time even though it’s like the coolest job I

could possibly imagine. But something I didn’t realize is how varied your job is day to day.”

Morgan said his Soldier skills bring something unique to the Astronaut Corps.

“We have a very expeditionary mindset, a concept that we can pick up and we can go any-where and we can live there for a long time,” said Morgan. “We bring a lot of leadership. We bring a lot of technical skills. I think that Soldiers are very well suited for what we need astronauts to be, which is very flexible, very technical, very operational and good at working in teams.”

Morgan said his favorite thing about being an astronaut is being part of a team. He also talked about the importance of the mission.

“It’s important to everybody in the entire hu-man race, the entire world,” Morgan said. “It’s something that transcends national boundaries.”

Vande Hei said that one of his favorite as-pects of military service is being part of a team and he explained how that carries over to his astronaut mission.

“Just the interaction with people when you all have to be really good at your particular task, but you also have to be looking out for each other keeping up a good sense of humor when it’s a really stressful situation, Vande Hei said. “There’s challenges with it, but that’s one of things I really like about this job too.”

As Vande Hei prepares for his launch on a Russian Soyez spacecraft in March 2017 for Expeditions 51 and 52, he said he is looking forward to the experience.

“I’m most excited about just adapting to living in a completely different environment and getting a different perspective of the earth and what it means to be a human living on this planet,” Vande Hei said.

And the only way to get to where we need to be is to stop condemning the things that we don’t understand.

Micko talked about bridg-ing the gap between military and civilians and the impor-tance of breaking down bar-riers on a personal level.

“People are the ones that make these changes,” he said. “It’s the leaders…and the people who get outside their box to understand one another and say, ‘This guy’s really not that different than I am. And I’ve got his back and he’s got my back.’”

He talked about the hal-lowed grounds in the United States as well as here in Eu-rope, such as the battle sites of the 92nd infantry division, a unit formed with African American soldiers from all states that fought in World War

I and World War II. “Challenge yourself to

visit not only the hallowed grounds in (the continental United States)…but while you’re in Europe, find out about those places here that could be hallowed grounds,” he said.

The presentation con-cluded with Lt. Col. Brennan Cook, HHBN USAREUR commander, presenting Micko with an appreciation award for his support of African Ameri-can History Month.

Following was a show-ing of the movie Race, about Olympian Jesse Owens’ quest to become the greatest track and field athlete in history against the backdrop of Na-zism in 1936. The showing was sponsored by the USO and AAFES.

Think you’re getting your vitamin D through your diet? Think again. Vitamin D is naturally present in very few foods, according to the Na-tional Institutes of Health.

And in northern latitudes, some people may not be getting enough sunlight to produce the vitamin through their skin.

“Your doctor or nurse can do a blood test to see if you have enough vitamin D. But you might not need this test,” said Lt. Col. David Escobedo, chief medical officer at the Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic.

“Doctors measure vitamin D levels only in people who are at risk for a vitamin D de-ficiency,” he said. “This includes people who: Spend most or all of their time indoors (for example, because they are in a nursing home); have medical problems (such as Celiac disease) that make it hard from them to absorb vitamin D; have a condition called osteoporosis” which makes bones weak; or broke a bone too easily, such as by falling down.”

With a little planning, vitamin D can be ob-tained through diet with foods such as cooked salmon or mackerel, canned tuna, cod liver oil and fortified foods, such as cereals, milk, orange juice and yogurt, he said.

“Supplements are another way people can get vitamin D,” Escobedo said. “Experts recommend that most adults take supplements that have 800 international units of vitamin D a day. People who do not get enough vitamin D from their food or from the sun might need to take even more.”

So how do you know if you’re not getting enough?

“The clinical manifestations of vitamin D deficiency depend upon the severity and duration of the deficiency,” Escobedo said. “The major-ity of patients with moderate to mild vitamin D deficiency are asymptomatic.”

“With prolonged, severe vitamin D deficiency, associated symptoms may include bone pain and tenderness, muscle weakness, fracture, and difficulty walking,” he said.

“Children may be asymptomatic, or present with varying degrees of pain and irritability, motor delays, poor growth, and increased sus-ceptibility to infections,” he continued.

It mostly boils down to common sense health strategies, Escobedo said.

“Get plenty of sleep, eat healthy; take a vi-tamin D supplement if you’re concerned about your vitamin D levels, and get regular exercise, outdoors if possible, when the weather permits,” he said.

Vitamin D: Are you getting enough?

‘Three Billy Goats Fluff’

By Sgt. Daniel ColeU.S. Army Europe

Public Affairs

U.S. Army Europe is asking service members in Germany who are residing off-post in privately leased or rental housing to take part in the annual housing survey. The survey is instrumental in ensuring accurate housing allowance rates for military families living off post.

This survey is critical for ensuring OHA rates are prop-erly set at overseas locations and directly affects the amount of housing allowance paid to service members.

“The OHA is survey is very important because it gives service members in Germany an opportunity to directory af-fect the allowance their utility maintenance allowance and the moving and housing al-lowance,” said Bill Gordon, U.S. Army Europe personnel

division’s chief of military pay policy.

Gordon also explains the service members taking the survey will be asked to enter in their previous monthly utility expenses as well as any items they had to purchase when they moved in.

The Defense Travel Man-agement Office will begin its month long Overseas Housing Allowance Utility survey on March 1.

An exemption from this survey includes homeowners or those sharing rent with another service member.

Spouses are authorized to take the survey if the service member is deployed or un-available.

A link to the survey will be active March 1 to 31 and can be found at: https://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/oha-util-mar.cfm.

Several tax law changes could significantly affect how service members and their families file their 2015 income tax returns.

“It’s probably the biggest set of changes in many years” said Army Lt. Col. Samuel W. Kan, executive director of the Defense Department’s Armed Forces Tax Council, which oversees the military’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

For example, this is the first year service members received an IRS Form 1095-C, which documents their 2015 minimum essential health care coverage and shows their compliance with the Affordable Care Act.

IRS Form 1095-C“People haven’t seen these forms before,” Kan said,

adding that service members must keep the 1095-C with their tax records, and bring it with them if they use a tax preparer. Service members who entered or left the military in 2015 or had other life-changing circumstances that created a health care coverage lapse have an issue that must be addressed with a tax pre-parer, he added. Those members might have multiple 1095s, depending on their individual circumstances.

Taxpayers without minimum essential health care can incur IRS penalties, Kan said. In addition, taxpay-ers who enrolled in the Health Insurance Marketplace and had advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit paid directly to insurance companies on their behalf, such as members who worked in the civilian sector and then joined the military in the middle of the year, will need to file their tax return to reconcile those advance payments.

Some ‘Extenders’ PermanentService members should be aware that certain “tax

extenders” — once temporary measures to stimulate the

economy — have become permanent, Kan said. Some of those important permanent changes include the state and local general sales tax deduction, especially for those members from states without a state income tax, the educator expense deduction for members who teach and incur expenses, and the American Opportunity Tax Credit, for members with college expenses, he said.

Lots of Resources for HelpMany resources exist for service members to file

their 2015 tax returns, whether they are stateside or deployed, Kan said.

The online IRS Publication 3, the Armed Forces Tax Guide, addresses a wide range of issues that might affect members of the military, Kan said. In addi-tion, state tax guides will soon be available through Military OneSource, installation tax centers and legal assistance offices.

Visit a tax center and learn what documents to bring to a tax preparer before scheduling an appoint-ment, Kan advised, adding that it’s essential to bring last year’s income tax return to ensure that members get all the tax benefits to which they may be entitled.

File for FreeFree tax-filing and preparation assistance for service

members is available in a variety of ways, he said. First, “brick-and-mortar” tax centers on installations educate military members, while VITA certified tax preparers accurately prepare and file the member’s income tax returns while they wait. Legal assistance offices also can give advice on other tax services provided at nearby installations, even though they may be operated by other armed services, Kan said.

Second, Military OneSource tax kiosks are avail-able at some installation tax centers and offer self-service computers so service members can prepare and file their own tax returns, assisted by VITA certified

tax preparers who are onsite to help.Third, members can use Military OneSource from

home, assuming they are filing very simple tax returns without such deductions such as passive loss carryovers on rental property, he noted. Service members who want to use Military OneSource from home should be sure to read the instructions before starting a return to make sure they don’t waste their time by starting a return and then realizing that the return cannot be properly prepared, Kan noted.

Although service members can prepare their own tax returns and do the necessary research by using search engines and the IRS web site, Kan said, due to the many changes in this year’s tax code, self-filers should show their returns to an tax preparation expert at an installation tax center to make sure they haven’t missed any benefit to which they are entitled. Few things are worse than leaving your own money on the table, he added.

Tax changes could affect servicemembers, families

Defense Media ActivityThe Defense Department today

announced that the Military Spouse Employment Partnership program has now partnered with 300 employers, according to officials from the DoD Spouse Education and Career Oppor-tunities Office.

The program, launched in June 2011 by Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, is an employment and career partnership connecting military spouses to partner organizations and companies who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses in portable careers.

“This is such an exciting and impor-tant milestone for the program and for the thousands of military spouses around the world who search for meaningful employment and career opportunities,” said Rosemary Williams, deputy as-sistant secretary of defense for military community and family policy.

“The Military Spouse Employment Partnership addresses the employment challenges facing military spouses while providing partner employers with access to a pool of highly qualified military spouses,” she said.

The partnership includes corpo-rations, small businesses and other

organizations that post job openings on the Military Spouse Employment Partnership Career Portal, mentor mili-tary spouses and other employers, and provide employment data on military spouses hired, officials said.

“The talent of military spouses can strengthen the economy, military fami-lies, the Defense Department and the nation,” said Eddy Mentzer, associate director of the family readiness policy for DoD’s military community and fam-ily policy office. “Partnership companies and organizations have hired more than 90,000 military spouses.”

The partnership is part of DoD’s Spouse Education and Career Opportu-nities Program, which seeks to reduce the significant unemployment rate and wage gap currently experienced by military spouses.

Story and photos by Karl WeiselU.S. Army Wiesbaden

Family and MWR Marketing Office

It’s the usual story – with a twist. Boy and girl neighbors fall in love. Their parents

connive to bring them together with disastrous results. Exhilarating events ensue.

Theater-goers enjoyed a smashing opening week-end of the ever-popular musical, “The Fantasticks,” at Wiesbaden’s Amelia Earhart Playhouse Feb. 26-28. The show continues with performances at 7:30 p.m. March 4, 5, 11 and 12; and at 2 p.m. March 6 and 12.

“It’s a feast for the senses,” said the play’s director, Brian Buckley, a longtime Playhouse volunteer and a counselor with the Adolescent Substance Abuse Coun-seling Service at Wiesbaden High School.

Buckley, who has performed and directed at the Amelia Earhart theater since 2009 and has won several prestigious Tournament of Plays and One-Act Showcase awards, described “The Fantasticks” as a “beautiful musical. It’s a simple story about innocence and loss of innocence.”

The musical by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones – the world’s longest-running musical -- also has special significance for the Wiesbaden director. “It was my professional debut in 1980 – my first paying job – in a performance in New York City,” Buckley said.

“I love the symbolism of the show,” he said. Based loosely on the 18th century play “The Romancers” by Edmond Rostand, “it’s like reverse psychology (with Luise’s mother and Matt’s father trying to bring them together),” he explained, adding, “the plot has all of this fantasy” which is reflected in “the colors and the lighting – the special effects.”

Audiences are also in for a treat with a live orchestra, directed by Julia Cramer, featured on stage along with the actors and actresses throughout the performance.

“It’s a beautiful blend,” said Amelia Earhart Play-house director, Kim Carr, about the mixture of emotional dialogue, melodic songs and skillful staging. “It’s that type of show that allows you to be creative – a play within a play.”

Audiences may find themselves singing along with well-known songs such as “Try to Remember” and

“Soon It’s Gonna Rain.”“We’ve really grown the theater in the past few

years,” Carr said, explaining that there are now more than 80 regular active participants. “We have so many great volunteer participants.”

“We have military, civilians, Germans, high school students, DoDDS teachers – a nice gamut of different types of people” who volunteer to help produce out-standing productions, Buckley said – and newcomers are always welcome both onstage and behind the scenes.

Carr added that the Playhouse will be holding audi-tions for their upcoming production of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” sometime this month (times and dates to be announced soon).

Tickets for “The Fantasticks” cost $17. A special group/family ticket (up to five people) is available for $70. For more information call civ (0611) 143-548-9812.

Army News Service

The Army budget request for fiscal year 2017 totals a little more than $148 billion and includes a 1.6 percent raise for Soldiers. But this year’s budget re-quest, said Lt. Gen. Karen Dyson, the military deputy to the assistant secretary of the Army for financial management and comptroller, was developed with a focus on boosting readiness.

Army readiness is developed primar-ily with operations and maintenance funding, and this year the Army has requested some $45.2 billion in that account across all three components.

The FY17 operations and mainte-nance funding request is expected to support an increased focus on decisive action readiness across the force, 19 combat training center rotations and the continued professional development of Soldiers and Army civilians.

Dyson, who was speaking at a monthly Association of the U.S. Army breakfast, Feb. 18, outlined what Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Mark A. Milley sees as major threats and priorities for the Army and how they meld into the Department of Defense budget.

One of those priorities is participa-tion in the increased activity in Europe that comes as a response to Russian aggression there. The Army must also be prepared to respond on the Korean peninsula. There, North Korea’s actions are driving instability. Additionally, China’s assertive behavior, though not aggressive like Russia’s, could become a bigger threat in the future, she said. Also a concern is Iran’s destabilizing influence in in the Middle East. Finally, Dyson said, the Army continues to combat the terrorist threat in the Central Command area of responsibility, espe-cially from the Islamic State.

Being prepared to respond to those threats requires an Army that is well-versed in the full spectrum of military combat operations, and the Army budget, which is wholly aligned with Department of Defense priorities, aims to move the Army in that direction, Dyson said. The DOD budget, she said, includes three priorities that the Army has mirrored in its own budget:

— “One is to strengthen deterrent capabilities;

— the second is to find the best bal-ance between manning, readiness and modernization with a focus on rebuild-

ing full-spectrum capabilities,” she said.— “The third is to see innovative

approaches, not just through technol-ogy, but also through, human capital...through plans and operational concepts and institutional reform.”

While the Army is concerned pri-marily with near-term readiness and capability, it’s also presently investing in new lethality capability for Stryker brigades

Additionally, the Army is moderniz-

ing or modifying existing equipment by investing in engineering change propos-als on existing combat platforms such as the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, she said, noting that much returning equipment is being brought to fully mission-capable standards as units come and go in rapid deployment.

Dyson added that the Army is also divesting itself of equipment that is ob-solete or in excess of needed inventories.

Defense Media Activity The Defense and Veterans Affairs departments

recently announced an ongoing effort to ease the tran-sition for service members who require complex care management as they transition from the DoD system of health care to the VA, or within each system.

The effort is designed to ease the burden for service members and veterans, who have suffered illnesses or injuries so severe as to require the expertise provided by multiple care specialties throughout both depart-ments, officials said.

“More than a decade of combat has placed enor-mous demands on a generation of service members [and] veterans – particularly those who have suffered wounds, injuries, or illnesses which require a complex plan of care,” said Dr. Karen Guice, principal deputy assistant secretary of defense for health affairs and co-chair of the DoD-VA Interagency Care Coordination Committee. “These individuals require the complex coordination of medical and rehabilitative care, benefits and other services to successfully transition from active duty to veteran status and to optimally recover from their illnesses or injuries.”Improving and Enhancing the Process

“Our collaborative efforts with DoD have improved and enhanced the process of caring for our military

members with serious illness, injuries or disabilities, as they recover and return to their communities,” said Dr. Linda Spoonster Schwartz, assistant secretary veterans affairs for policy and planning and co-chair of the DoD-VA committee. “Great attention has been made to developing a system which focuses on con-tinuity of care, holistic support services and a ‘warm handoff’ for [service members and veterans] as they move from and between military, VA and community health care systems.

“Our care coordinators,” she continued, “now have at their fingertips tools and processes that improve and simplify the lines of communication for our wounded, ill, and injured [service members and veterans] who require complex care coordination, their families, and those who provide their care in both departments.”

The hallmark of the effort, officials said, is the implementation of the role of lead coordinator: a des-ignated member of a service member’s care manage-ment team who will serve as the primary coordinator for each individual.

The lead coordinator will offer personal guidance

and assist service members and their families in un-derstanding the benefits and services to which they are entitled. Service members, veterans and their families, working with their lead coordinator, will have someone to whom they can turn when they have a question or issue as they actively participate in their care, officials explained, adding that the first phase of lead coordi-nator training was completed in November. Officials expect that 1,500 DoD and 1,200 VA people will serve as lead coordinators.

This effort comes as a result of the work of the DoD-VA Interagency Care Coordination Committee, established in 2012 to implement a joint, standard model of collaboration for the most complex cases of care that will require a warm handoff from the DoD to the VA system of care, as well as within the depart-ments, officials said. It is based on many of the best practices of collaboration that have been created over the last decade, they added.

The effort was enacted as policy by both departments in 2015, aligning more than 250 subpolicies into one, overarching policy that will govern the coordination of complex care cases that transition between the two departments, officials said.

Coordination efforts are synchronized through the committee’s Community of Practice, a group representing more than 50 DoD and VA programs that provide specialty care, including rehabilitation services for the visually impaired and polytrauma centers.A lead corodinator will guide service members through the system, officials said, ensuring that they receive the care, benefits and services they both require and to which they are entitled.

For your health

By Human Performance Resource Center Staff

The 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Ameri-cans were recently released. They offer the gov-ernment’s best advice on healthy eating. How can they help you?

The U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) just released the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. These guidelines help shape policies for school lunch and breakfast programs, Woman, Infants, and Children (WIC), and nourishment programs for the elderly and military. The skinny is that they’re based on evolving nutrition science. They offer practical guidance on how to develop a nutrition plan too. Remember you can also seek a dietitian’s help to meet your goals towards healthy eating and performing well.

Tip #1: Think about your overall way of eating. Your eating pattern reflects how you usually eat.

Each day doesn’t stand alone — so eating less whole grains one day balances your diet when you eat more whole grains on a different day. The U.S.-Style Eat-ing Pattern includes a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy, whole grains, and lean protein (especially more fish). While similar, the Vegetarian-Style Eating Pattern consists of plant-based protein, more legumes, nuts, and seeds. Some vegetarians also eat eggs and fish. The Mediterranean-Style Eating Pattern includes slightly more fruit and seafood, and slightly less dairy.

Tip #2: Select a variety of vegetables. Choose vegetables from all 5 groups — dark

green, red/orange, dried beans and peas, starchy, and others (light green, purple, yellow, and tan). To ease shopping and storage, purchase all forms: fresh, frozen, canned, and dried. Try vegetables in new ways: grilled, roasted, and raw. Add spinach to a breakfast omelet, munch on carrot sticks at lunch, and toss several veggies into your pasta dinner. Be creative, use fragrant spices, and enjoy new choices.

Tip #3: Choose whole grains. Usually higher in fiber and important minerals

like iron, whole-grain foods include oats, brown rice, popcorn, and quinoa. Select whole grains for at least half of your grain choices. Look for “whole-wheat flour” as the first ingredient when buying breads, pasta, or other grain foods. Replace white flour with winter-white wheat flour; it’s easy and barely noticeable.

Tip #4: Limit the calories you get from added sugars.

A healthy eating plan is difficult to achieve when you consume too many sugar-sweetened beverages, snacks, and sweets. This goes for all forms of sugar (honey, molasses, agave, etc.). The recommendation is to take in less than 10% of total calories from sugar. For a 2,000 calorie diet, that’s 200 calories. Divide by 4 to get grams (50g) and by 4 again to get teaspoons (12 tsp). Read food labels to figure out where your sugar is coming from, and then cut back. To give you an idea, just one can of soda contains about 40g of sugar.

Tip #5: Lower saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories.

What does this mean? A 2,000-calorie daily diet should include less than 20g of saturated fat. Check the nutrition facts label to see the total saturated fat content in your favorite foods. Most saturated fat comes from whole milk, cheese, butter, and fatty meats. Choose healthier fats such as olive, corn, soy, or saf-flower — these contain poly- and mono-unsaturated fats. Swap whole milk with 2% milk and easily save 3g of saturated fat in an 8 oz serving.

Tip #6: Reduce sodium.In an average diet, most sodium comes from processed

foods. The biggest culprits include pizza, canned soups, cured meats, and store-bought breads. Even though whole grains are encouraged, bread is a source of sodium. What are some easy ways to lower sodium? Rinse canned veg-etables before adding them to your recipes. You might also try new spices (curry powder, garlic, and ginger) when preparing foods — and always taste before adding salt.

Stress can take its toll on your mental and physi-cal health, including your heart health, but there are breathing techniques to buffer yourself from it! When you’re less focused on your breathing, it’s typical to breathe erratically — especially when you face the stressors of day-to-day life. In turn, your heart rate can become less rhythmic, causing your heart to not function as well.

But when you have longer, slower exhales — breathing at about 4-second-inhale and 6-second-exhale paces — your heart rate rhythmically fluctuates up and down. This rhythmic variability in heart rate mirrors your inhales and exhales so that you have maximum heart rate at the end of the inhale and minimum heart rate at the end of the exhale. More importantly, this physiological shift could help you feel less stressed, anxious, or depressed — and experience better heart health.

It’s easy to go through the motions of breathing while absorbed in your own thoughts; instead, take notice of your breathing and other body sensations. Regularly tuning in to your body sensations could help you feel more resilient and ready to:

• Adapt to change• Deal with whatever comes your way• See the brighter, or funnier, side of problems• Overcome stress• Tolerate unpleasant feelings• Bounce back after illnesses, failures, or other hardships• Achieve goals despite obstacles• Stay focused under pressure• Feel stronger

Find free paced breathing MP3s, tools, apps, and videos to practice different mind-body skills at http://hprc-online.org

Heart-healthy breathing blows stress away

What is Heart Rate Variability?Heart Rate Variability is a way to track how

your heart rate rhythmically goes up and down, and helps you objectively assess your mind-body optimization. When your heart rate varies more, it’s good for your health and performance. Breathing at certain paces has a big impact on heart rate variability and — in turn — the mind-body connection and performance. And because you can learn to control your breathing, you can also improve your HRV.

Airmen and Soldiers practice breathing and relaxation during their off-duty time in a deployed location. Stress can take a toll on mental and physical health, including heart health; however, practicing good breathing techniques can reduce impact.

Movie plotsAt the movies March 3 - 16Deadpool — Based upon Marvel Comics’

most unconventional anti-hero, the movie tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of hu-mor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

London has fallen — The sequel to the world-wide smash hit “Olympus Has Fallen,” a non-stop, suspenseful action thriller that delivers high-octane excitement through a heightened sense of authenticity. The visceral intensity springs from a timely premise: after the British Prime Minister passes away, his funeral becomes a tar-get of a terrorist organization to destroy some of the world’s most powerful leaders, devastate the British capital, and unleash a terrifying vision of the future. The only hope of stopping it rests on the shoulders of the President of the United States (Aaron Eckhart) and his formidable Secret Service head (Gerard Butler), and an English MI-6 agent (Charlotte Riley) who rightly trusts no one. Morgan Freeman also stars as the Vice President of the United States.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot — In 2002, cable news producer Kim Barker decides to shake up her routine by taking a daring new assignment in Kabul, Afghanistan. Dislodged from her comfortable Ameri-can lifestyle, Barker finds herself in the middle of an out-of-control war zone. She finds some solace after meeting Tanya Vanderpoel, a fellow journalist who takes the shellshocked reporter under her wing. Amid the militants, warlords and nighttime partying, Barker finds the strength she needs to succeed as a correspondent.

Zootopia — From the largest elephant to the smallest shrew, the city of Zootopia is a mammal metropolis where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first rabbit to join the police force, she quickly learns how tough it is to enforce the law. Determined to prove herself, Judy jumps at the opportunity to solve a mysterious case. Unfortunately, that means working with Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a wily fox who makes her job even harder.
