By Kathleen Ladwig

Veterans Day is Nov. 11. As we take the time to thank those who have given us military service, let’s also take time to thank people who are still serving in another way — family serving family at the Exchange.

Many veterans have found that working at the Exchange is exactly where they belong so they can con-tinue to serve those who serve. At Exchanges around the world, vet-erans are found in nearly every job, from warehouses to food services to cash registers, from the director’s office to field managers and asso-ciates. They know what being on the front lines is all about and truly understand the Exchange mission: “We go where you go to improve the quality of your life through the goods and services we provide.”

Every day, these veterans who work at the Exchange know the Soldiers or Airmen they serve are “brothers” or “sisters” who are fac-ing the same challenges and strug-gles they faced when they were in the military. They know the com-mitment that military members make.

The veterans who are still serv-ing are an inspiration to other as-sociates and often lead by example, showing that kind words, courtesy and appreciation can go a long way to helping someone far from home.

Here are three examples of asso-ciates continuing to serve well after retiring from the military:

Cary Zottolo, computer operator,

Ansbach, Germany: Zottolo was first a Soldier repairing power gen-erators. Driven by a passion to see even more of the world, he joined

the Navy, honing his technical skills and doing welding jobs and any other ship repairs that came his way. He is a jack-of-all-trades, a valu-able quality when working at the Exchange. He still serves because he said he believes he can make a dif-ference and continue to be a valu-able community member.

Efrain Muniz-Crespo manages

the Patch Barracks Express, Stuttgart: He served 25 years in the Army, re-tiring as an infantry first sergeant in 2000. He said he truly believes that Exchange associates are a fam-ily. He says that respect is a key ele-ment in leadership, and he enjoys helping associates identify and de-velop their own skills. These skills are obvious: the Patch Express is well-organized, clean and spotless — and his first-rate team constant-ly makes improvements.

Robert Kalwaitis, associate at Panzer’s main store: Kalwaitis served in the Army in both Gulf wars and in such diverse places as Honduras in South America and Fort Bragg, N.C. Kalwaitis started at the Exchange as a stocker and then moved into his current posi-tion as an inventory-control as-sociate. He helps customers get specially-requested products, those on backorder or not in stock. Kalwaitis said he enjoys customer service, working with his team, ex-ercising responsibility and making key decisions.

The Exchange gives prefer-ential hiring to veterans. Human Resources experts try to find jobs that fit the veterans’ skills and place them in environments that keep them as valuable team mem-bers who continue to serve.

If you know a vet at your facil-ity, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” If you are a vet, I can truly say that the entire Exchange family thanks you.

Veterans are the people who make a difference.

Commentary: Veterans continuing to serve

The veterans who are still serving are an inspiration to other associ-ates and often lead by example, showing that kind words, courtesy and appreciation can go a long way to helping someone far from home.

News & Notes

As U.S. service members continue to help the international community stop the spread of Ebola, the Department of Defense (DOD) is taking steps to ensure those who deploy in support of Operation United Assistance return home safe.

The senior ranking medical doc-tors from U.S. Africa Command, Navy Capt. David K. Weiss, and U.S. European Command, Air Force Col. John P. Mitchell, explain how the military medical commu-nity is protecting service members before, during and after deploying to West Africa. This discussion is based on recently an-nounced DOD guidance, which also states that component and local commanders can implement more stringent screening criteria, including up to 21 days of con-trolled monitoring. Bottom line: We will do what is necessary and required to keep our personnel and their families safe.

What is U.S. Africa Command doing to prepare personnel deploying in support of Operation United Assistance?

Capt. David K. Weiss, command sur-geon, U.S. Africa Command (DW): “While our mission in West Africa will not include direct patient care, the safety of our men and women in the joint forces remains paramount for us. We’re making sure that the men and women who deploy are pro-vided with the best training and proper protective equipment for the tasks they will be performing. All military personnel, prior to deployment, will go through ex-tensive processing and training to ensure they are prepared to work in West Africa and have a solid understanding of how to protect themselves from contracting the virus. Our training and equipment is the best in the world and our leadership and our discipline will help ensure we accom-plish our mission effectively and safely.”

What is being done to protect personnel during deployment for this mission?

DW: “The Department of Defense has implemented a training, screening and monitoring program that meets or

exceeds standards defined by the Centers for Disease Control. We will ensure the highest medical and safety protocols are in place before, during and after deploy-ment. During deployment the chain of command will conduct daily temperature and symptoms checks. There will be a fully equipped level 2 medical facility in Monrovia to care for all the medical issues of deployed DOD personnel. I recently returned from Liberia and I felt safe the whole time I was there. There are hand washing stations outside all public places and there are rules that emphasize no hand shaking and no bodily contact. And given the fact that we are not working with Ebola patients, I really was not concerned for my health or safety during my stay in Monrovia.”

What happens if a military member contracts the virus? What will be done then?

DW: “We hope that our extensive training and preparation, combined with the fact that our personnel will not be

providing direct care to Ebola patients, will protect our personnel from the virus. If, through our thorough monitoring and screening process, we identify someone with symptoms or who was put at risk for contracting the virus, that person will be isolated and monitored. If it is confirmed that the member has the virus, they will be medically evacuated to the United States to receive care in a medical center spe-cializing in Ebola care.”

How about before personnel return home? Will there be any special screening or procedures prior to departure?

DW: “Prior to bringing them home, we will conduct controlled assessments based on the degree to which they have been exposed and individual risk levels. Medical screening by healthcare profes-sionals will begin 10 days prior to de-parture and risk levels will be assigned

Transitioning Soldiers and Army spouses have an abundance of experi-ence and insight to offer civilian em-ployers, say Army experts.

However, sometimes it can be dif-ficult to translate Army experience into language that civilian employers can understand: enter the Soldier for Life - Transition Assistance Program (SFL-TAP).

Services for the program, formerly called the Army Career and Alumni Program, or ACAP, start at least 12 months before separation — 24 months for retiring Soldiers — and are now re-quired for Soldiers leaving the Army.

But Soldiers and family members don’t have to wait to begin taking steps for this transition.

Next month, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program, with support from private industry, will host two European Theater Transition Summits; one in U.S. Army Garrison Bavaria,

Nov. 5-6, and the other at Ramstein Air Base, Nov. 3.

The summits will feature semi-nars, panel events, recruiter training, a job fair, discussions designed to im-prove competitive employment for service members, veterans and their spouses, and, of course, networking opportunities.

Events at each installation will culminate with a Hiring Our Heroes job fair, where service members will be given the opportunity to step into HireVue’s video interviewing booths to “tell their story” and demonstrate to employers why they will be a great fit for a potential job opportunity.

“Whether you need to go to TAP or not, you should go down and visit TAP,” said Col. Adam L. Rocke, direc-tor of the Army’s Soldier for Life pro-gram. “There are over 700 counselors. There are improved services, a partner-ship with the Department of Labor, Veterans Affairs and the Small Business Administration — all there to help ser-vice members and their spouses and

dependents for a successful transition.”

Editor’s Note: Information gath-ered from the Army News Service ar-ticle “Army experts discuss veteran, spouse employment,” by Elizabeth M. Collins, Soldiers Live, Oct. 17,

2014; and the Oct. 9, 2014, edition of “Observation Post,” a quarterly communication tool for U.S. Army Installation leaders to receive direct feedback and critical information from IMCOM Headquarters and the Department of the Army.)

Translating Army experience into employment

Panelists discuss issues facing transitioning Soldiers and spouses, particularly employment, at the second Family Forum at the Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting, in Wash-ington, D.C., Oct. 14, 2014. Noreen O’Neill, director of the Military Spouse Program, Hiring Our Heroes, United States Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and Col. Adam L. Rocke, director of the Army’s Soldier for Life program, were part of the panel. — Photo courtesy of Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System.

to personnel based on the recently an-nounced DOD policy. The bulk of our personnel will carry paperwork tracking their health monitoring and temperature screenings that will facilitate their return. Screening will continue at home station.”

Are there any issues with return travel? How is U.S. European Command addressing the different screening and monitoring procedures being followed by host nations in Europe?

Air Force Col. John P. Mitchell (JM), surgeon general, U.S. European Command: “As we’ve stated, the

screening and monitoring of DOD per-sonnel we are implementing meets or exceeds CDC standards. However, our host nations in Europe will also imple-ment screening standards that will vary from country to country. We are currently working with our European partners and allies to refine those pro-cedures and we are prepared to com-ply with the requirements of each host nation where we have DOD personnel stationed.”

What happens when personnel return to home station? What further precautions will be taken?

JM: “European Command has

hospitals, medical clinics and medical support programs that are well estab-lished and provide top notch care to our military personnel, DOD employees and their families. We will help local com-manders implement the required post-deployment daily monitoring for 21 days after return to quickly identify any signs of illness. Our medical facilities will be prepared to support all returning DOD personnel and help them with any medi-cal issues they may face post deploy-ment, including the Ebola Virus Disease. We will also work closely with AFRICOM to continue to assess other possible precautions to help protect our service members and their families.”

Anything else you would like to add?

JM: “Given what our personnel will face, I believe we are taking the appro-priate steps to protect our troops, our DOD employees and their families. Our primary role is a support role, construct-ing facilities and providing engineering and training support. We are not provid-ing direct care to Ebola patients. And with the advanced screening and monitoring program implemented by DOD, and with the world class health care professionals and facilities we have within the European Command area, we are more than pre-pared to tackle any medical issues we face from this deployment.”

� is time of year, most Americans start thinking about � anksgiving and a turkey dinner.

Germans, however, think about St. Martin’s Day and goose.

St. Martin’s Day is celebrated on Nov. 11 in honor of Martin, a Roman legionnaire who converted to Christianity, became a monk, and in 372 A.D., the bishop of Tours, France.

Legend has it that on a cold win-ter night, Martin was traveling on his horse when he spotted a freezing beg-gar. He felt compassion for the beggar and divided his coat into two pieces and shared it with the poor man. With this kind gesture, Martin saved the beg-gar’s life and became the patron saint of charity.

Based on this legend, people all over Germany celebrate St. Martin’s Day, or “Martini Day,” each year with parades, the lighting of the Martin’s � re and re-enactments of the legend. Kindergarten and elementary school children cra� lanterns and rehearse St. Martin songs

for weeks. During the evening of Nov. 11, the children then light their lanterns to stroll through neighborhood streets with family and friends.

Many German traditions re-late to food, as does St. Martin’s Day. According to the legend, when pious and humble Martin heard the news that he was chosen to be the next bishop of Tours, he hid in a goose stall. � e geese chattered loudly when Martin entered their territory, signaling his location. � e people of Tours found him imme-diately and appointed Martin bishop.

Eating a goose meal, then, is a way to honor St. Martin. At least that’s one version of the legend. Timo Böckle, chef at the “Zum Reussenstein” restau-rant in Böblingen, shared a medieval account of the goose tradition.

According to Böckle, Nov. 11 marked the beginning of a 40-day fast-ing period before Christmas. A� er Nov. 11, people were not to eat meat or in-dulge in other heavy foods.

“Farmers were also required to pay their yearly leases on Nov. 11. Many times the lease was paid with a goose, instead of real money,” Böckle said.

To this day, the tradition of serv-ing Martin’s goose, whether based on legend or other customs, continues across Germany. But when it comes to the preparation of the bird, northern and southern Germany part ways. In northern Germany, the goose is stu� ed with a mixture of ground pork, onions, garlic and various herbs.

In southern Germany, the goose is stu� ed with bread, chestnuts, roasted nuts, apples, plums, sugar, salt, vinegar and red wine, according to Böckle.

� ese days, for convenience, most restaurants serve goose legs (Gänsekeule) instead of the whole bird. � e goose is accompanied by red cab-bage and dumplings.

“At the Zum Reussenstein restau-rant, the stewed goose leg is served with elder� ower red cabbage with honey and bread dumplings with melted but-ter,” Böckle said.

For most people in Germany, the Martin’s goose dinner is the perfect way to begin the holiday season.

“Besides, it’s also a way to insu-late for the upcoming winter months,” Böckle said.

Goose, not turkey, rules in GermanyIn Germany, Nov. 11 is St. Martin’s Day. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with parades, lantern marches, reenactments of the St. Martin legend, and a meal of goose, dumplings and red cabbage. Many restaurants offer Martin’s goose menus from Nov. 11 through Christmas.

Patch High School kicked off its homecoming celebration with spirit week Oct. 13-17.

The festivities kicked off with

Decade Day on Tuesday as students flaunted their knowledge of fashion throughout the years. On Wednesday, students went all out wearing leather, lipsticks, tiaras, and tutus for Bad to Bone and Pretty in Pink Day. They saw double on Thursday, as many students dressed as twins.

On Friday, much of the student body was clad in black and gold for Spirit Day Oct. 17. The school day con-cluded with a pep rally replete with hi-larious powder puff cheerleading per-formances followed by a powder puff football game with the cheerleading squads, and a bonfire in the evening.

On Oct. 18, the sports teams gave it their all. Unfortunately, the football team lost to undefeated Wiesbaden 48-6. Most of the other teams fared well. The volleyball team beat Ramstein and the Black Forest Academy. In tennis,

the boys team defeated Wiesbaden 9-0 while the girls team fell 2-7. The boys and girls cross-country teams

remained defeated as they bested Kasierslautern, Black Forest Academy, Bitburg, Ansbach and Baumholder.

The PHS cheerleading squad fires up the students during the pep rally Oct. 17 in the Patch Fitness Center. The squad also gave out candy, encouraged loud cheering and honored the homecoming court king and queen with flowers.

The senior boys keep the crowd’s attention as they perform during the pep rally. Having worked on the routine since late August, the group performed to songs such as Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off” and “Best Friend’s Brother” by Victoria Justice. The group won the spirit competition for their class and the coveted spirit stick.

Sophomore Janie Greenberg fixes her lipstick Oct. on Bad to the Bone Day during PHS’s homecoming spirit week. Oct. 15 was also designated as Pretty in Pink Day. Students were encouraged to be bad to the bone in leather and black, or “pretty” in pink.

America Recycles Day is a nationally recognized commu-nity-driven awareness initiative dedicated to promoting and cel-ebrating recycling in the United States.

Each year, on Nov. 15, millions of people become better informed about the importance of daily recycling and buying recycled products. In the Stuttgart military

community, we have an excel-lent opportunity to recycle paper, cans, glass, plastics and more, all of which can make a signifi cant contribution to recycling. In fact, as guests in Germany, nearly half of all of our waste is recycled.

Your attitude and your actions can make a world of difference.

Learn how you can help at the U.S. Army Garrison Stuttgart

Going Green: America Recycles Day Nov. 15

From the website of the AARP (www.aarp.org)

October has fi nally brought some crisp mornings to the Stuttgart area, serving as a clear reminder that summer is defi nitely over. But long before the roads get icy, other cool-weather hazards start to appear.

Watch out for leavesOnce leaves become wet, they

can present slippery and danger-ous driving conditions. Be sure to watch for patches of wet leaves on the road or on road lines. Dry leaves can also present a problem to your vehicle. Avoid parking your

vehicle near leaf piles to prevent fi res that could start from your ve-hicle’s catalytic converter.

Stay alert on the roadThe end of daylight saving time

means reduced visibility on the roads, which can create unfamil-iar driving conditions. Even on familiar roads, it’s important that motorists use additional caution and adjust their driving habits to watch for pedestrians, cyclists and other roadway users who will be less visible, especially during the fi rst week of the change.

Check your tire pressureWith frequent weather and

temperature changes, tires can expand and contract, causing them to lose air pressure. Make sure tires are properly infl ated and have plenty of tread.

Avoid sun glareWith the change in time you

may need to adjust to the differ-ent morning or late afternoon glare from the sun. The glare can cause refl ections off car windows and hoods and decrease your vis-ibility. Have a good pair of sun-glasses readily available to coun-ter daytime glare, and consider lenses with anti-refl ective coating to reduce glare when night driving can’t be avoided.

Plan ahead for wet conditions

Fall often brings rainfall, which can decrease visibility and cause hydroplaning. Make sure your windshield wipers are in good working condition. If driving on a road with excess water, slow down and avoid sud-den movements with the steer-ing wheel or brake pedal. If you feel like you’re floating, steer straight and gently release the gas pedal until you feel the tires make contact with the road surface. In an especially heavy downpour you may want to pull off the road until it’s safe to continue.

‘Bio’ or organic waste: Items such as le� overs, egg-shells, co� ee � lters, tea bags, vegetables and fruits, tree-, bush-,and hedge-clippings, � owers and plants, leaves, grass-clippings, and weeds. Organic waste containers are usually brown bins, but can also be green in some areas.

‘Restmüll’ or regu-lar trash: Basically anything that does not � t into any of the recycleable categories, and is not hazardous material. Almost all areas use a black plastic bin for Restmüll.

Other waste: Elec-tronics and hazardous waste must be careful-ly handled, and there is a wide variance in how these items are handled. Residents who have these types of waste are advised to contact their local of-� ce (contact information for area o� ces is in the brochure on the USAG Stuttgart website) to ar-range for disposal.

Glass: Glass recycling can vary greatly from area to area. In some ar-eas glass must be taken to glass re-cycling points, and sorted into color coded bins. In other areas glass is picked up like other trash on a given schedule, and is not sorted. Glass re-cycling does not include Returnable bottles, win-dows, crystalline glass, spectacles, mirror glasses, dishes, and bulbs.

‘Altpapier’ or waste paper: Items such as books, catalogs, news-papers, magazines, peri-odicals, papers, correspon-dence, handouts, notes, wrapping paper, boxes and packing material made of cardboard. Make sure not to throw the following items into the paper re-cycling: coated and wet strength paper, coated packaging, folder, organic and mineral contaminated pa-per, diapers, vacuum cleaner bags, wallpaper, egg boxes. Waste paper is usually put into a blue bin or a blue bag.

With a population of roughly 82 million people living in an area smaller than the state of Montana, Germany has a population density of 609 per square mile. In comparison, the U.S. has just 84 people per square mile.

� at many people in that small of a space, produces a lot of garbage; to the tune of more than 360 million tons per year. � is fact makes Germany take waste management very seriously. So seriously, in fact, that they are the most active recycler in all of Europe, recy-cling almost half of their total waste.

Germany accomplishes this impres-sive feat through a very thorough waste sorting system, the � rst, and most cru-cial step of which is the homeowner or

resident in Germany.Let’s be honest though, it can get

complicated right?With up to � ve or six di� erent cat-

egories of waste, and practices that vary from county to county, and occasion-ally from city to city, things can quickly get confusing.

To help residents sort out all of the mess, quite literally, the USAG Stuttgart has an in-depth guide that outlines speci� c procedures for all of the three major counties in the Stuttgart area. Go to www.stuttgart.army.mil and search for “recycling.” A guide is available for both on-post and o� -post recycling procedures.

� ese guides, along with the general overview provided in this article should arm most residents to recycle properly and help do their part to contribute to our host nation’s impressive recycling e� orts.

Practices vary between countiesIn each of the three major coun-

ties in the Stuttgart area, there are dif-ferences in how trash and recyclables are handled. � e main di� erence is in the various bins and how the items are sorted. Glass is handled much the same at various recycling points, and hazardous materials and bulk trash have their own, speci� c requirements. For more information on these, check our recycling guide online at the link listed above.

In Böblingen county, there are four bins, all black, but with color cod-ed lids. A black lid is for trash, an or-ange lid is for recyclables, a green lid is for organic and a blue lid is for paper.

Stuttgart city uses three bins and the yellow sack. A grey bin is for trash, a green bin is for paper, a brown bin is for organic waste, and yellow bags

are used for recyclables (see our online guide

for information on where to get the yellow bag).

Although speci� c proce-

dures vary, most programs divide trash

and recyclables into six categories; trash/rubbish, recyclables, paper, organic waste, glass, and hazardous waste. For explanations of these categories and what is included in each of them, see the side bar on the opposite page.

Ludwigsburg County uses two bins and groups re-cyclables and paper together. A green bin is used on a ro-tating schedule for “� at” and “round” recyclables (including paper). Flat paper and recy-clables includes most normal paper products, books maga-zines and similar items, as well as � at plastics like plastic bags, and � at pieces of plastic and Styrofoam. Round paper and re-cyclables includes plastic bottles, cans and similar products. For a more detailed description, see our recycling guide online.

Sperrmüll or bulky trashResidual waste that is too big

for the regular trash bin, but does not exceed a given size. For ex-ample, in Boeblingen, it cannot

exceed 2 meters by 1.2 meters x 4/5 of meter, and must weigh less than 60 kg per piece. Mattresses, cupboards, bedframe, furniture, carpets, mirrors, suitcases, ski and sur� oards are all ex-amples of common bulk trash items.

Bigger trash cans may be avail-able

One of the most common frustra-tions for arriving Americans is hav-ing a trash bin that is much smaller than they are used to. O� en, this is a frustration that does not have to be endured. Trash cans are supposed to be based on family size, and should usually be adequate as long as recy-clables and other trash are being prop-erly sorted and not put into the regu-lar trash bin. Families with children, and especially larger families who � nd themselves constantly over� lling their trash bins should consider talking to their landlords about getting a larger can. BE forewarned, this may a� ect the monthly trash fees, and landlords will likely pass that cost on to the renter, depending on the speci� cs of the rental arrangement. Residents may inquire for more information about a larger trash can at local city o� ces, but usually it will ultimately have to be the homeowner/landlord who orders the larger bin.

On-Post trash and dumpingFor on post residents, things are

relatively simple. Clearly labeled con-tainers are available in all housing areas, and the guide available online details what items can and cannot go into each container.

Residents living on post should note that bring o� -post trash on post to dump is prohibited by USAG Stuttgart policy. Policy Letter 59 out-lines this rule and is punitive in na-ture, meaning adverse administrative action can result from violations. Also, it’s really not di� cult to do the right thing in this case because …

Getting rid of extra trash is not costly

In fact, it’s sometimes free, but does take some e� ort and coordina-tion. Some areas have recycling cen-ters and city dumps that residents can take their trash to and almost all areas have procedures for residents to re-quest pick up of bulk trash and other non-standard waste. O� en these pick-ups are free of charge, but usually only o� ered a limited number of times per year. Contact the agency for your area for more information.
