In March 2011 a gunman attacked U.S. Airmen at Germany’s Frankfurt International Airport.

U.S. Army Europe antiterrorism officials are us-ing that tragic incident to help illustrate terrorism’s “evolving threat.”

The Army is spotlighting the evolving threat as its current antiterrorism theme to educate members of the U.S. forces community against what they describe as a more innovative, opportunistic method of planning and carrying out attacks than people may consider conventional terrorist methods.

Antiterrorism experts say the evolving threat

often centers on a “lone wolf” attack, a recent form of terrorist attack involving individuals who work on a much smaller scale and without specific guidance from organized terror groups to assault local targets. These smaller-scale attacks require less planning and coordination, and create fewer indicators that could alert others that an attack is imminent.

On March 2, 2011, one such “lone wolf” targeted a group of U.S. Airmen on a bus parked at Frankfurt Airport. The attacker approached an Airman standing outside the bus, engaged him in conversation, then shot and killed him. Entering the bus, he killed the driver and wounded two other Airmen. He then held his pistol

A new $5.65 million Access Control Point for Clay Kaserne, expected to be completed by the end of December, should improve traffic flow and security, officials said.

By Shayna BroukerU.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

The sun was already shining on the new access control point, noted Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, as the garrison broke ground on its latest construction project on Clay Kaserne.

Members of the garrison, Europe District Corps of Engineers, Hessisches Baumanagement and German building contractors took part in a sunny afternoon ceremony March 12 to officially begin construction

of the new access control point, which eventually will serve as the sole ACP on Clay Kaserne. Currently, there are three.

In the meantime, the three ACPs will remain open. Beginning April 4, a traffic light will be in place at the groundbreaking site to the right of the traffic circle and traffic will be rerouted. Signs will direct drivers to the south gate, main gate and truck gate. Drivers are encouraged to use the south gate in the evening to exit as it will be designated as the priority road.

Feedback: Do you feel welcome in Germany?

Debbie MacAllisterMilitary spouse

“Yes, I do. I’ve been here five years now, and we feel very welcome here. Our experi-ence has been really positive. ... When we first came here, it was an adjustment, but we had a sponsor and people who made us feel welcome.”

Reggie UnderwoodWiesbaden Army Health Clinic Tricare chief

“I love Germany. I’ve been here for 24 years. ... Learn-ing the language helps you fit in; I practiced by watching Sesame Street in German.”

John Perry4th Air Support Operations Group civilian

“Not particularly. The Germans are a little more standoffish than Americans, particularly to those (Ameri-cans) from the South. My wife is from Alabama. But that’s not to say we don’t like it here.”

Pvt. Star BakerWiesbaden Dental Clinic

“Yes, my friends help me feel welcome. The people I work with also help. They know you’re a young Soldier away from home for the first time and take you under their wing.”

Sgt. Oliver Stiles66th Military Intelligence Brigade

“Absolutely. The locals are extremely friendly, and they help you with the language barrier.”

Pet owner responsibilities

Latoya B. asked: The dog park in Hainerberg Housing is very popular. However, I am seeing many big dogs off the leash playing in the Hainerberg area. Our two toddlers have survived one dog attack on the playground (owner was pres-ent). Incidents have occurred between residents when report-ing people — do you have any suggestions?

Response: Latoya, there is absolutely no reason why you should fear for your chil-dren’s safety while playing in a playground in an Army Family Housing area. As per Command Policy Letter 15, Pet Ownership Responsibilities, “pet ownership in government quarters is a privilege and is granted to residents based on their ability to meet respon-sibilities. Pet privileges are subject to revocation in specific instances of policy violation.” The policy goes on to point out that “pets will be on a leash when outside of government quarters” and “accompanied by the owner or his or her responsible representative capable of controlling the pet. … Complaints of improper control of pets or any other violations of this policy must be reported to the Military

Police.” Please call the MPs at civ (0611) 705-5096 to report violations of this policy.

Bike racksAndrew H.

asked: Where are the bike racks on post? Why isn’t there a bike rack in front of every build-ing? Building 1023E/W, bank,

clinic, barber shop, shoppette — none of them have bike parking. There was a bike rack in front of every building when we left Patrick Henry Village (in Heidelberg). Why can’t we put them in up here? If you want people to drive less, you’ve got to support them.

Response: Thank you for expressing your con-cerns about bike racks on Clay Kaserne, Andrew. We encourage use of bikes and have a plan to provide bike racks at high traffic areas throughout the installation. As with all projects, funding is a constraint. We were able to harvest several bike racks from Heidelberg and will install them as soon as the weather permits. We have already put up one test rack behind the Tony Bass Fitness Center and in April will begin installation of more. We will also include additional bike racks in our future projects.

Customer service awards

James J. asked: Can you explain to me the difference be-tween the ICE customer service award and the customer service award by the garrison board? Is it the same thing?

Response: The garrison uses feedback from the In-teractive Customer Evalua-

tion program, James, among other sources, to determine which employees to recognize during the monthly Customer Service Award recognition. So, essentially, this is one and the same thing — a way for the command to acknowledge and reward those employees who provide outstanding service as noted by community members, coworkers, leaders, etc.

Expectant mother parking

Lynn G. commented: As I am seven months pregnant, I have noticed that the only desig-nated expectant mother parking in the garrison is located at the PX and Commissary. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I haven’t seen any designated spaces on Clay Kaserne, spe-cifically in the vicinity of the Mission Command Center or other buildings that would accommodate women in the workforce. I sincerely hope this is merely an oversight with all of the ongoing construction and not an assumption that all preg-nant women are unemployed spouses.

Response: Lynn, the gar-rison plan for Fiscal Year 2014 is to create additional family parking spaces to as-sist parents with children at customer service areas and additional designated parking for expectant mothers. Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

Bike lane to ClayWilliam N. asked: Is

there a plan to include a bike lane as part of the new Clay Access Control Point? I bike about nine months a year and the last 100 meters into post are usually the trickiest with the pace of traffic and uneven road surface. Also, is there any way the garrison

could partner with Outdoor Recreation to lead a monthly ride to work?

Response: Thanks for your suggestions regard-ing a healthy alternative to get to work on Clay Kaserne, William. When the Access Control Point is completed by the end of this year, the path which runs through the fields near Clay should connect to the front entrance of the ACP (which will extend out to where the light is currently located). In regards to helping cyclists find the way to Clay, our Special

Events staff will host Bike to Work Day guided tours on May 16. The Wiesbaden Cycling Club (a closed Facebook group) also offers “ride to work” trips as well as other biking trips on a weekly basis throughout the year. For those looking for maps on how to bike between local Wiesbaden installations and housing areas, see the garrison’s home page at www.wies-baden.army.mil/sites/docs/GarrisonBikeProgram.pdf. You can also call or stop by Outdoor Rec for helpful advice and expert assistance in ensuring your bike is road ready.

Construction of the $5.65 million ACP will be-gin immediately. It will have three lanes with ID checkpoints, with an additional lane for truck traffic providing greater relief during commuting times. It will also have pedestrian access, giving additional options to pedestrians getting on and off post.

“I have no doubt this future access point will provide greater convenience with the smoother pas-sage of traffic in and out of the post,” said Lt. Col. Charles Hemphill, deputy commander of the Corps of Engineers, Europe District.

“As a fellow service member who has driven through these gates often, I understand the contin-ued need to maintain our security standards as well as making life easier for the hard-working service

members and their families here at Clay Kaserne,” Hemphill said.

The project was authorized and approved in Fis-cal Year 11 but went through several redesigns and waiver requests to comply with Army standard design and remain within budget. Hemphill acknowledged German contractors and the Wiesbaden garrison team for their help with the project.

Carstens thanked Corps of Engineers employees Lalit Wadhwa, chief of programs for the district; and Michelle Syed, district project manager, for their coordination and diligence. He also recognized Karl Strack, HBM, for leading the MILCON design and construction management.

Construction of the new ACP is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2014.

MPs cracking down on unregistered motorcycles

The Military Police will be targeting unreg-istered motorcycles parked throughout the gar-rison over the next few months. If you have an unregistered motorcycle you must either obtain a valid registration and license plates or register it as nonoperational with the Vehicle Registra-tion Office. U.S. Army Garrison Command Policy No. 11 lists the authorized locations to park vehicles registered as nonoperational. As a service to motorcycle owners, Morale, Welfare and Recreation is now offering a towing service and covered storage for motorcycles on the North Side of Clay Kaserne for a small monthly fee. Contact the MWR Automotive Skills Center at mil 337-6679 or civ (0611) 705-6679 for infor-mation on this service.

Transparency, building German-American partnerships and the impact of transformation were topics during a special media engage-ment March 11.

About 20 members of the host nation media — including print, radio and television journal-ists — had the opportunity to become better informed about the U.S. military community in Wiesbaden and ongoing efforts to transform its facilities to serve the U.S. Army Europe Headquarters as completion nears of the move of various support elements from Heidelberg, Mannheim and Darmstadt to Wiesbaden.

“There’s a lot of speculation in the Ger-man media; some of it is correct and some of it’s not so correct,” said Col. David Carstens, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden commander, adding that the media day was an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions. “Ultimately, that’s what good neighbors do.”

Describing the massive transformation efforts which have greatly altered the configuration of the U.S. military in Wiesbaden — construction of a new Army lodge and entertainment center in 2011 and 2010 respectively, completion of the 326-unit Newman Village housing area and the Gen. John Shalikashvili Mission Command Center in 2012, near completion of the Gray Center (Information Processing Center) and ongoing work on the new Consolidated Intelligence Center, new parking garages on Clay Kaserne and the start of construction on new Access Control Points at Hainerberg Housing and Clay Kaserne — Carstens said this wouldn’t have been possible without the outstanding support from the host nation. “Without this cooperation — without this partnership with the state of Hessen and city of Wiesbaden — this trans-formation wouldn’t have been possible.

“We are now just under 20,000 community mem-bers,” Carstens said, explaining that that includes more than 3,000 Soldiers, nearly 4,000 civilians, 1,200 lo-cal national civilians, slightly more than 10,000 U.S. family members and 1,000 retirees.

Among the many partnerships including regular information visits to the garrison by host nation officials, student exchanges, joint military training opportunities and other communal events, Carstens

said he is especially proud of efforts taken to conserve resources and protect the environment.

“I’m most proud of our partnerships that help the environment,” Carstens said, pointing to the Oeko-profit program as one of the many ways in which the garrison works directly with the city of Wiesbaden and local agencies and organizations to find ways to save energy and other valuable resources. The gar-rison has been recognized annually by the city for its contributions and cooperation in Oekoprofit.

Other efforts have included building state-of-the-art new structures incorporating Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards, working with ESWE to promote greater use of public transporta-tion and enhancing recycling efforts to reduce waste throughout the command. Encouraging car pooling, making Clay Kaserne a mostly walking post and ef-forts to better define the bicycle routes connecting U.S. installations are all aimed at reducing the number of vehicles on the roads, traffic congestion and pollution.

Carstens once again thanked local realtors, property and business owners and members of the Wiesbaden Chamber of Commerce for their help in reducing communication barriers and making more services available to Americans in Wiesbaden. “I’m proud of our partnerships to help our families find homes, but also to get the 20,000 members of our military com-munity into Wiesbaden to shop and purchase services.”

He also praised the outstanding support of local first responders in helping secure and safeguard Americans residing in and around Wiesbaden. “This is a relationship that we don’t take for granted,” he said.

During the roundtable session at the Wiesbaden Entertainment Center and later during a tour of Clay Kaserne, media representatives asked questions ranging from why Wiesbaden was chosen as the new home of USAREUR Headquarters to how many German firms were involved in transformation construction projects.

Carstens explained that with fewer installations around the command in Europe and reduced troop levels it only makes sense to consolidate, divest and reduce where possible to cut costs and travel time for military men and women. He also addressed communication forums such as the Noise Abatement Commission which exist to address concerns about aircraft noise and other issues from the local citizenry.

One of the highlights of the media day was the an-nouncement of an upcoming German-American Fest to be held June 28 to July 4 in Hainerberg Housing.

to the head of a fifth Airman, but when the weapon jammed the attacker fled the scene. He was quickly subdued by an Airman, a civilian airport employee and German police officers.

Antiterrorism officials say the airport shooting shows how the evolving threat is transform-ing terrorism with a shift away from the traditional “al-Qaida type attacks.” Because these smaller events require much less planning and attract less attention, the experts say, they can be carried out in a more nonchalant manner that gives the attacker greater opportunity to target members of the U.S.

forces community.Despite the nature of these

smaller attacks, USAREUR antiterrorism officials say there are still ways people can lower their risk of becoming victims of terrorism.

“Countering the evolving threat requires more individual ef-forts through continual vigilance, reporting suspicious activity, and practicing individual protective measures,” said Jessica Bittle, a force protection specialist in USA-REUR’s Antiterrorism Division.

Some simple ways people can protect themselves include:

* Be aware of their surround-ings and the actions of others around them

* Reporting suspicious behavior

* Not dressing or acting in a way that makes them stand out from local citizens or brands them as Americans or members of the U.S. forces community

* Removing stickers and other items from their vehicles and belongings that indicate they are Americans or members of the U.S. forces community

* Not wearing uniforms while traveling on public or commercial transportation (except taxis).

Autism Awareness: Helping assess child developmental needsBy Ann Cooper

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Exceptional Family Member

Program manager

Of all the things to know about autism, recognizing signs early can help parents intervene and impact their child’s development.

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects an indi-vidual’s ability to communicate and interact socially. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identify one in 88 American children as being on the autism spectrum. Military

sources indicate that there are more than 13,000 military de-pendents diagnosed with autism.

Significant improvement in autism symptoms is most often reported with intensive early intervention. Parents can play a role in early screening for developmental delays in their child. A developmental screen-ing can be conducted to see if a child is learning basic skills when he or she should.

Children with autism usually appear physically normal. They often need absolute consistency

in their environment. A slight change in any routine can be ex-tremely upsetting. The charac-teristics of autism typically last throughout a person’s lifetime but can change considerably over time. A mildly affected person might seem merely quirky and lead a relatively typical life. A severely affected person might be unable to speak or care for himself.

Start by talking to your health care provider. To get a free screening, contact either Early Developmental Interven-

tion Services (if your child is under the age of 3 years) or the schools (if your child has had his or her third birthday).

Chief Warrant Officer 1 Hugh Thompson — Ruby Bridges — Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh — what do all these people have in common?

Moral imagination — that is, the ability to imagi-natively create ethically sound and practical solutions to new situations; to forge one’s own ethical principles and to transform them flexibly as needed, according to Chaplain (Capt) Andrew Shriver, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment chaplain.

Moral leadership and the role of the chaplaincy were the subjects of a seminar for the 214th Aviation Regiment March 19 hosted by Shriver.

Shriver reviewed examples of moral leadership in history and present-day scenarios, such as Thomp-son’s intervention during the My Lai Massacre of the Vietnam War. Col. Peter Helmlinger, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District, commander, and retired Col. Bobby Ray Pinkton, U.S. Army Europe G4, also served as keynote speakers.

Pinkston remarked that “war is lost and won on moral domain.”

“Especially with our unit and its unique mission, getting lieutenants and captains to think about [moral leadership] will become more relevant as their leader-ship progresses,” said Shriver.

Speakers emphasized the chaplaincy’s role in enhancing morale.

“I think the role of chaplains is to take care of

Soldiers — they’re the heart of the Army,” said Helm-linger. “It’s important that young leaders realize that so they can take care of their Soldiers and accomplish the mission. It helps us maintain our resiliency to avoid losing our moral compass.”

“It was a good opportunity to highlight the diverse

capability of the chaplaincy,” agreed Maj. Patrick DeForest, battle operations officer for the regiment.

Shriver stressed that chaplains must keep all coun-seling confidential and encouraged Soldiers to speak with chaplains for help with anything from drinking to child abuse.

Members of the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, take time out to learn about moral imagi-nation and the role of the chaplaincy.

USAG Wiesbaden — Wackernheim, Wiesbaden

Recognizing the potential of its workforce, the Department of Defense established the Com-puter/Electronic Accommoda-tions to eliminate employment barriers for people with disabili-ties. CAP’s mission, since its inception in 1990, is to provide assistive technology and ac-commodations to ensure people with disabilities and wounded services members have equal access to the information en-vironment and opportunities in the DoD and throughout the federal government.

Today, CAP has expanded beyond the DoD to partner with 68 federal agencies making it the largest provider of reason-able accommodations in the world. The program’s vision is to increase employment of people with disabilities and dis-abled veterans by ensuring they have access to accommodations throughout the DoD and federal government.

Through the Wounded Ser-vice Member Initiative, CAP provides needs assessments, assistive technology and train-

ing to support wounded, ill and injured service members throughout all phases of re-covery and transition to em-ployment, directly impacting their rehabilitation process. By implementing DoD Instruction 6025.22, Assistive Technology for Wounded Service Members, CAP partners with military treatment facilities to integrate assistive technology into the recovery and seamless transi-tion process.

CAP does this by paying for and providing a wide variety of assistive technology for people with hearing, visual, dexterity, cognitive and communication disabilities. While CAP mainly focuses on purchasing assistive technology for employees with disabilities, it also supports federal employees throughout the employment lifecycle, including coming to work, staying at work, and returning to work to help ensure the fed-eral government is the model employer of people with dis-abilities and wounded service members. Frequently requested

accommodation solutions in-clude videophones, personal amplification devices, screen magnification software, screen readers, cueing/memory aids, literacy software, alternative keyboards, pointing devices and speech recognition software.

The process to identify and request accommodations through CAP is simple. Cus-

tomers who already know what accommodations they need can request them via the online request form at www.cap.mil/wsm for wounded service members or www.cap.mil for federal civilian employees. There are a number of options for customers who need solutions identified.

The CAP office is avail-able to answer any disabil-

ity or accommodation-related questions. The CAP staff works with individuals to ensure the federal community complies with federal laws and assists in creating a more accessible information environment. CAP is committed to giving service members the tools to prepare them for employment oppor-

tunities in the public or private sectors by allowing them to maximize their abilities.

CAP offers a number of online tools to help customers, which includes online train-ing for employers and videos featuring available assistive technologies.

Stay current on new as-sistive technology, disability events and more on the go by downloading the CAP mobile app. Stay connected with CAP on Facebook, Twitter and You-Tube. For more information and to use the online tools, visit www.cap.mil, contact CAP at (703) 614-8416, or via email at [email protected] for wounded service members or [email protected] for federal civilian employees.

24th MI conducts small arms range with Bundeswehr partners

By Shayna BroukerU.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden

Public Affairs Office

Soldiers from the 24th Military Intelligence Battalion conducted a small arms range at Wackernheim with members of their Bundeswehr (German Army) partner unit, the 923rd Elektronische Kampfführung Battalion.

Fourteen German Sol-diers qualified on the M16 (two achieved expert; three sharpshooter; and nine marksman). Six qualified on the M9 (four expert and two sharpshooter).

Maj. Joan Hollein, 24th MI executive officer, and other 24th MI leaders traveled one and a half hours north of Wiesbaden to the battalion’s post in Fran-kenburg to award the Soldiers their medals March 20.

“It really helps to bring the partnership concept to reality

when they are physically part of our ceremonies. Being assigned to Germany is a very unique opportunity for U.S. forces, and getting the chance to interface with a foreign military is one of the greatest benefits,” Hollein said. “We are really fortunate to have such a strong historic connection and friendship with our partner unit.”

The 24th MI has a solid partnership with the 932rd, spanning 33 years. In the past year the 24th has participated in their change of command

ceremony, organizational day, ranges and training exercises. Sometimes they train together before deployments.

Master Sgt. Nikolai Klaas, a signal battalion NCO respon-sible for vehicles and educa-tion of recruits, qualified as a marksman with the rifle. He said he has shot with American Soldiers while deployed in Af-ghanistan, but this was his first time qualifying.

“It was a nice day, great experience, and everyone was very kind,” he said. “American

Soldiers are very professional, very helpful, and we got training on the rifle and pistols.”

Foreign military members are eligible to receive U.S. military awards, according to Army Regulation 600-8-22. Typically they have been awarded achievement medals while working with U.S. forces on deployments, such as in Afghanistan or Iraq.

Likewise, U.S. Soldiers regularly participate in a similar qualifications event, involv-ing shooting and other skills, and are awarded the Schützenschnu-ror, or German Armed Forces P r o f i c i e n c y Badge.

I n t h e B u n d e s w e h r , Soldiers have to qualify on all the weapons, but that’s where most differences end.

“I think the

best parts of the interaction were the down times when we shared stories of family and personal experiences,” said Sgt. 1st Class Darrell Hudson, NCOIC for the range. “I remember a conversa-tion Sgt. Maj. Frank and I had about our children. At the end, we both agreed that we’re all the same when it comes to family and children.

“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that we are not that different,” said Frank, NCOIC for the unit.

Bystander Education combats harassmentBy Shayna Brouker

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

A man in the parking lot is screaming at a woman who appears to be his partner as she cowers in fear. What would you do?

Many people will answer that they would intervene, but in reality, certain factors interfere with bystanders’ best intentions to get involved. That’s where the Bystander Education Class comes in.

Army Community Service offers this spe-cial course to Soldiers, family members and civilians to learn how and when to step in to a sticky social situation to prevent bullying and mistreatment of others.

“Thought processes stand in the way of in-tervention,” explained Rolando DeLeon, sexual assault response coordinator and Bystander Education Class instructor. “In the course we help to identify those thought processes and discuss methods to overcome them.”

One of the biggest challenges bystanders will confront when they’re attempting to intervene is not knowing how to intervene, but failing to believe they should. Learning which factors prevent people from doing so helps prepare bystanders to move past thoughts and into action.

“I thought the Bystander Education class was a unique way to understand how our personal bias influences our culture,” said Capt. Jen-nifer Glover, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment

commander. “Before I jump to conclusions, I try to understand the other person’s view point first. I push my Soldiers to do the same.”

The course was developed using input from local experts, personnel with backgrounds in teaching, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, lessons learned from past studies and several Army reports about what works and what doesn’t work with this type of training.

Although the class was originally intended for Soldiers, instructors realized it could be helpful for anyone. It’s applicable to harassment at work, drinking and driving, suicide interven-tion, situations that could lead to sexual assault and general helping behaviors, such as carrying bags for others.

DeLeon said he would also recommend the class to high school seniors getting ready to head to college or enter the military.

“Becoming an intervention expert helps you develop a better understanding of who you are and your interaction with others in varying situations,” DeLeon said. “Although the primary subject is intervention, the class can positively impact leadership and team work skills and may help to improve interpersonal interactions.”

The class is being offered April 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 6-8 p.m. in the ACS cafeteria. The class is limited to 32 people. Contact Rolando DeLeon at mil 335-5234 or [email protected] to sign up.

Members of units and organizations can request additional classes.

Public Affairs Office

At 5-foot-2 and a shade over 115 pounds, Martha Manuel hardly looks like an imposing figure. But appear-ances, as they say, do deceive on occasion.

This little lady is a real beast in the weight room.

As the only fe-male member of Team ASC Zeilsheim, a lo-cal weightlifting club, Manuel has set a hand-ful of records in the women’s 53-kilogram classification this win-ter at competitions around Hessen. She’s also gain-ing some name recognition along the way — her exploits have been profiled in several German newspapers and publications.

On March 8 she helped Zeilsheim capture the state championship in a road meet against Langen — not bad for someone who only began com-peting last August.

“I love Olympic weightlift-ing because it’s all about focus and technique, and it’s exciting to get to push yourself every week to reach new [personal bests],” said Manuel, who works as an architect for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe Dis-trict. “It’s also a great sport for us shorter people. … Most women avoid lifting because they think it will make them bulky, which is hilarious because it could not be more opposite. Just look at me.”

Olympic lifting consists of two events: the snatch and the clean and jerk. In the first, athletes must lift a barbell from the platform to locked arms over-head in a smooth, continuous transition. The latter is a com-posite of two movements. The clean portion compels the lifter to move a weighted barbell from the floor to a racked position across deltoids and clavicles, while the jerk involves lifting it above the head until the arms are straight and the bar is stationary.

In December Manuel earned her first record by breaking the old state mark in the snatch. She’s eclipsed several more pla-teaus since then, most recently establishing new Hessen bests

in the snatch (55 kilograms/121 pounds), clean and jerk (66/145), and combined total (120/264.5).

The 30-year-old native of Charles Town, W.Va., said her path to the sport can be traced to CrossFit Wiesbaden. She joined up about a year ago and then started Olympic lifting last May.

“I fell in love with it,” she recalls. “My CrossFit coach took me to Zeilsheim one day to improve my lifting technique, and the gym just kind of adopted me.”

Team ASC Zeilsheim has 10 members, but only five partici-pate in each meet. Manuel faces a language barrier during events and training sessions. Her coach, Peter Krinke, doesn’t speak English, so they “mostly com-municate through charades,” she quipped.

“Honestly, I’m a little fuzzy on a lot of the details because all the info is in German,” she added. “Many details get lost in translation. I just show up and lift heavy stuff.”

She’s done that so profi-ciently in the past seven months that Krinke says he can’t imagine his squad without her.

“In short, Martha is our fam-ily jewel,” he said through a translator. “She is very friendly … and our audience is enthu-siastic about her — she is our flagship. With her [consistency] in the team contests, Martha is a top performer, and it wouldn’t be possible to think about the team without her.”

Manuel remains committed to CrossFit Wiesbaden, where she’s a Level 1 instructor. Cross-

Fit, a trademark strength and conditioning brand, combines functional training in weightlift-ing, running and gymnastics. It requires proficiency in a number of high-intensity disciplines.

She said she hopes to com-pete with a team at the 2015 CrossFit Regionals after wrap-ping up her Germany tour and returning to the United States.

“I just love the community in weightlifting and CrossFit,” she said. “It’s like having a second family. Even during competi-tions, you are always holding your breath and cheering on your competitors, hoping they make every lift.”

Krinke said “MJ,” as she’s known to friends, has unlimited potential in the world of weight-lifting — if she ever decided to pursue it full time.

“Martha has the ideal body dimensions and also the physical flexibility required for weight-lifting. MJ is the best in Hessen and a champion in her weight category,” he said. “We work intensively on her improvable technique when she trains in Zeilsheim. … I wish Martha would specialize in weightlifting and learn as much as she can about the techniques, methods and training concepts. There’s no telling how far she would go. She could even transmit her know-how to future U.S. weightlifters as a trainer.”

Manuel’s next appearance will come at the Hessen Indi-vidual Championships, set for April 12 in Zeilsheim. That closes out the German season until fall.

In addition to her CrossFit pursuits, she’d like to take a shot at qualifying for the USA Weightlifting National Cham-pionships back in the United States. The national governing body sanctions five different events annually in all age groups.

“I have another year of train-ing in Germany before I [move] back to the States to reach the required weights,” she said.

Manuel engages in a rather stringent and rigorous regi-men — she trains for Olympic lifting four times a week while also doing CrossFit up to five days. She just started taking gymnastics classes on the local economy as well.

“The hardest part of training for me is trying to eat clean and eat massive amounts every day to maintain weight,” she said.

When trying to hit her marks in weightlifting, she says it can be a case of mind over matter. Focus is every bit as important as physically slinging the barbells around for two hours in the gym.

“It really is a mental game,” she said. “There are days where you come in and everything feels light, and occasional times where the warm-up feels like a cartoon anvil. But you learn to leave the stress at the door and if you’re lucky to have a good coach like I do, they help you adjust your training plan each day, depending on your focus.

“At this point during compe-titions, I don’t even notice there’s an audience; it’s all just white noise until I finish my lifts.”

Manuel is accomplished in her day job, too. She joined

Europe District in 2011 and graduated from the agency’s Leadership Devel-opment Program in 2013.

She said there are parallels be-tween her career and athletic endeav-ors, especially when it comes to the men-tal approach.

“The biggest ef-fect I can see actu-ally is a huge gain in confidence and leadership,” she added. “On my last evaluation, my boss noted the signifi-cant change in how I handle myself as a

leader at work, and I really think a majority of that stems from my time in the gym. When you’re working with some amazingly strong athletes and going into the gym every day to push yourself beyond what you thought you could just the day before, it changes how you approach life outside the box.

“There’s no room for being tentative or for self-doubt. You just have to go in knowing you’re strong enough and ready to just go at it without hesitation.”

What makes pi? Flour, butter and sugar or a bunch of numbers? Ask the third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students at Aukamm Elementary School and they’ll tell you it’s an “endless decimal” and also “a big cake with extra frosting.”

Students celebrated Pi Day March 14 by

learning hands-on how pi — 3.14159 — is a mathematical constant, the ratio of the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Activi-ties included measuring the circumferences of

varying sizes to prove pi is always the same and reading a biography of mathematician Albert Einstein on his birthday. And of course, they enjoyed pie.

“We are setting the

foundation in elemen-tary school for the math formula they’ll use later in middle school,” said Diane Johnston, instruc-tional coach for third through fifth grades who organized Pi Day activi-ties. “It’s a fun way to celebrate math and also the end of Terra Nova testing, which ended today.”

Avagayle Geldard, 10, said her favorite subject is math because she likes doing multipli-cation and her favorite kind of pie is cherry.

“This is more fun than our normal math day,” said Michael Ste-vens, 10. “This is middle school work.”

‘Grease’s’ success due to student dedication

Aukamm fourth- and fifth-graders measure the circumferences to determine pi.

By Kierra CarrSpecial to the Herald Union

Students said a lot of hard work and sweat helped in the success of the recent “Grease” production at Wiesbaden High School.

“During the making of it we worked six days a week, and toward the end, seven days a week giving most of our time to make it perfect,” said Stefan Diaz.

“We had rehearsal anywhere from five to seven times a week,” said Olivia Tedesco.

The hard work paid off in packed houses and helped bring the stu-dents closer.

“Our director, Christopher Har-bach, told us to hang out with each other outside of rehearsal to grow closer, but that just happened on its own at rehearsals,” said Tedesco.

“I loved ‘Grease.’ The perfor-mance was amazing and the cast had a great energy,” said audience member Kendra Shaw.

For some it was the first time acting in a play.

“I was just very curious to par-ticipate in a play. I just felt really comfortable with the thought of performing with my friends,” said Noah Nichols.

“I’ve acted in a play before, and I’ve always loved acting, so I took this opportunity to do more,” said Diaz.

Other than a small production of Robin Hood in the sixth grade, this was my first time on stage in a high school production,” said Tedesco.

For some, “Grease” was a chance

to practice what they plan on doing in the future while for others it was simply a chance to have a good time.

“If I get another opportunity to act, I would love to pursue it, but the career I want is in film. I initially went out for ‘Grease’ because I wanted to act one more time before graduating; not to mention all my friends were do-ing it so it must have just been a great time waiting to happen,” said Diaz.

“Acting would not be my major in college, but I definitely plan on minoring in acting while obtain-ing my degree,” said Savannah Simmons.

“I doubt I would make acting my career, but after doing ‘Grease’ I just fell in love with everything about musical theater — the singing, dancing and especially the people I met,” said Tedesco. “So I’ll defi-nitely try to get involved with it in college. I’ve always loved singing and dancing, so being in a musical just sounded exciting to me. In the end though, it was my friends who talked me into auditioning.”

Some participants found aspects of acting harder than others did.

“Learning lines was tedious because I had to be in character and remember when it was my turn to say my lines,” said Simmons.

Diaz, who played one of the lead roles, Kenickie, had a dif-ferent opinion. “I memorized my lines in three days. The cues were harder to memorize than the lines themselves.”

“Lines were difficult to memorize

at first, but once I became confident with performing them, they seemed to flow as if they were my own,” added Nichols.

“All I had to do was learn the songs and dances. While at home I listened to ‘Grease’ songs 24/7,” said Tedesco.

The actors had mixed feelings as they performed the last show on March 8.

“A few days after ‘Grease’ was over, it was immediately clear that something was missing from my routine,” said Nichols. “We all, cast and crew alike, seemed to be aloof and distant from school as we were so used to the fast-paced rehearsals and the countless memories we were making.”

“It’s not so much sad as it is bit-tersweet,” said Tedesco. “‘Grease’ was one of the best experiences I’ve had in high school, but when it ended, it was the right time. I definitely miss seeing the wonder-ful cast every day, but I know that whenever we see each other in the hallways, we’ve gotten to share something special that can never be taken away from us.”

“Although ‘Grease’ has ended, I am so grateful to have been able to participate in such an awesome production. And I thank all my friends and family for the support they have given me throughout this whole experience,” said Simmons.

Sports and leisure

Defense is what one lo-cal team staked its claim on to earn champion’s honors in its league’s postseason tournament.

The Wiesbaden De-fenders stopped Stuttgart’s 13-15-year-old girls squad on the hard wood to take home the 2014 Installa-tion Management Com-mand-Europe Junior Girls Basketball Championship March 9.

“I got them to buy into the importance of defense in our team’s overall strategy,” said Christopher Rolack, head coach of Wiesbaden’s 13-15 year-old girls team two. “I told them no mat-ter what a coach throws at us we’ve got something to stop it.”

The Defenders over-came a two-point, halftime

deficit to defeat its op-ponents and win 37-27 in the championship game. Rolack said that at the start of the third quarter, his team applied full-court pressure and took an eight-point lead, which forced Stuttgart to call a time-out to make adjustments. But thinking one step ahead Rolack said he called for a defensive change and the team never looked back.

The team finished the season with a 10-0 record, which included four games versus German clubs to prepare for postseason play.

“The German game format really helped our team,” said Rolack noting the 10-minute quarters and the presence of a shot clock. “It made them think and helped them focus … and attack the basket.”

Rolack added that the team’s success had a lot to do with each player’s posi-

tive attitude and personal discipline.

“They were eager to learn and focused. There weren’t a lot of things going on that took away from the coaching,” he said.

The team’s roster in-cluded Jordan Brown, Emi-lie Hollingsworth, Isabel Lopez, Ameera Mustafa, Nya Myles, Christiana Rolack, Makaylah Truett, Grace Wagner, Anevay

Whyte and assistant coach-es Sheryl Marion Mustafa and Nicole Sanders.

The Child, Youth and School Services spring sports season, which in-cludes softball, baseball, soccer and track, runs from March 31 to June 15. Contact the CYSS Sports Program about becoming a coach, registering a child at 337-7816 or civ (0611) 705-7816.

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Child, Youth and School Services Sports and Fitness Program

hosted more than 250 wrestlers from U.S. Army Garrisons Ansbach, Baumholder, Bavaria, Brussels, Hohenfels, Kaiserslautern, Schweinfurt, Stuttgart and Wiesbaden March 15.

The Installation Management Command-Europe Youth Sports Wrestling Showdown was held at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center.

About 70 volunteers, including members of the Wiesbaden High School wrestling team, supported the event as coaches, referees, scorekeepers, meet administrators, helping set up and clean up.

“It was one of the best events for volunteer turnout that I have seen,” said Ronnie Pineda, CYSS Sports and Fitness clinician. “Without the support of the community volunteers, this event wouldn’t have happened or gone so well.”

For your health

By Kirsten AnkeU.S. Army Public Health Command,

Bath salts — not the Epsom salts for bath water, but the synthetic stimulant street drug — have many names in-cluding “Bloom,” “Blue Silk,” “Cloud Nine,” “Hurricane Charlie,” “Ivory Wave,” “Lunar Wave,” “Scarface,” “Vanilla Sky,” “White Lightning,” “Zoom” and others.

The catchy names for this dangerous product create an illusion that using it will lead to relaxation or an exhilarat-ing high. But the reality is that the use of bath salts comes with unpredictable reactions and dangerous consequences.

Bath salts are unregulated street drugs. The crystals or powder may include combinations of one or more man-made chemicals related to drugs like amphetamines, cocaine and Ecstasy. Chemical mixtures are created to avoid being identified as an illegal substance. The types and amounts of chemicals vary in each packet or jar.

What is in it for you? Nothing good results from swallowing, inhaling or injecting the white, yellow or brown

crystals or powder that is sold in packages labeled “not for human consumption.” Because you do not know what is in this dangerous prod-uct, you do not know how it will affect you.

Bath salts are toxic chemicals, not help-ful medicines. They increase levels of brain chemicals (serotonin, dopamine or norepi-nephrine), which may result in feelings of euphoria or increased alertness. However, the short-lived intoxication comes with potentially life-threatening mental/emotional, be-havioral and physical reactions.

Mental/emotional reactions may include anger, agitation, paranoia, hal-lucinations, panic attacks, insomnia, and psychotic or combative behavior. Paranoid behaviors and delusions may last for days after the high is over. Im-pulsive and violent behavior may result

in hurting someone else or self-inflicted injury, which may lead to death.

The physical effects to your body can be dangerous and deadly. Bath salts may cause a fast heart rate, increase in body temperature, high blood pressure, chest pain, dehydration, breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, seizures, kidney failure and death.

Bath salts may be addictive. The

body may develop a tolerance to and dependence on the chemicals. Once you start to use the drugs, you may crave them, and find it difficult to stop using them.

Law and Army policyThe Synthetic Drug Abuse Preven-

tion Act of 2012 was signed into law to ban the possession, use or distribution of chemicals used to make man-made drugs like bath salts.

In accordance with Army Direc-tive 2012-14 [Prohibited Substances (Controlled Substance Analogues)], “Army personnel are prohibited from using, possessing, manufacturing, selling, distributing, importing into or exporting from the United States any controlled substance analogue,” such as bath salts. Violations of the policy

may result in punishment.Bath salts, the so-called designer

street drugs, have many sexy names, but no matter what you call them, they are illicit drugs that can destroy your mind and body.

If you or someone you know needs help with drug addiction call 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Bath salts: Drug use could have dangerous consequences

Movie plots

At the movies March 27 to April 10

Divergent (PG-13) — This action-adventure is set in a world where people are divided into factions based on human virtues. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy by a faction leader (Kate Winslet) to destroy all divergents, Tris must learn to trust in the mysterious Four (Theo James) to find out what makes being divergent so dangerous.

Muppets Most Wanted (PG) — The Muppets gang heads out on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Ma-drid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine — the world’s number one criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit — and his dastardly side-kick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais.

12 Years A Slave (R) — In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery in this film based on a true story. Facing cruelty (personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by Michael Fassbender) as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solo-mon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the 12th year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon’s chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) forever alters his life.

Noah (PG-13) — Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson and Russell Crowe star in this sci-fi adaption of the Noah’s Ark story from the Bible’s Book of Genesis.

Need for Speed (PG-13) — Tobey Marshall (Aaron Paul), is a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle-cars on the side in an un-sanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat, he reluctantly partners with the wealthy and arrogant ex-NASCAR driver Dino Brewster (Dominic Cooper). But just as a major sale to car broker Julia Bonet (Imogen Poots) looks like it will save Tobey’s shop, a di-sastrous race allows Dino to frame Tobey for a crime he didn’t commit.

Mr. Peabody and Sherman (PG) — Mr. Pea-body, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, use their time machine, the Wabac, to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. When Sherman takes the Wabac out for a joyride he accidentally rips a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history.

It may not be the easiest facility to find in Wiesbaden, but that doesn’t stop some 30-40 customers a day from

making their way to Clay Kaserne’s North Side to use the services of the Auto Skills Center.

“This is my first time using Auto Skills and it will not be my last time,” said Earl Brake, who was hard at work on his Chevy sedan with expert assistance from the Auto Skills Center’s Johnny Brumsey.

As Brumsey finished swapping out headlight bulbs to complete the day’s work of tire rotation, oil change and lighting inspection, Brake praised the dedicated support available. “They’re a very quick and knowledgeable staff. I would definitely recommend this facility to others. On a scale of one to 10, I’d give them a 20.

“I didn’t even have an appointment,” he added.As the center’s “Big John” Cobb helped American

Forces Network Wiesbaden’s Sgt. Jedhel Somera balance his wheels, Somera talked about why he frequents the Wiesbaden military community Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation facility.

“The (Army and Air Force Exchange Service) Car Care Center is cool, but here you get to work on your car and save a little money,” said Somera, adding, “If I need to learn something I usually go on YouTube. And if I can’t figure something out I just ask the guys here — they’re usually not too busy to help.”

“I do all of my oil changes here, and it’s a lot cheaper (than taking the car to a dealer),” said U.S. Army Eu-rope’s Chris Hormann, who was busy underneath his

vehicle performing an oil change. “Everyone here is very helpful and friendly.

“Even if you don’t know what to do, these guys can walk you through the process,” Hormann said. “Don’t be afraid to come here if you don’t know what you’re doing — they’ll walk you right through it.”

Hormann, who said that he originally “kind of avoided” learning about cars, despite his father and brother-in-law being mechanics, grew up around car repairs and encouraged anyone interested to simply take the first step by visiting the Auto Skills Center. “It’s just a matter of coming in and giving it a try.”

He also pointed out that working on one’s own vehicle can prove a major money saver. “If I had changed out my alternator on the economy it would have cost me $600. Here, with the staff’s help, it only cost me $200,” Hormann said.

Besides offering community members a state-of-the-art facility in which to work on their own vehicles and Automotive Skills Excellence certified staff, Wi-esbaden’s Auto Skills Center offers a range of services and programs from general vehicle repairs to computer diagnostics, alignments, air conditioning service, oil changes to vehicle storage and towing.

“You’ve got your people who come here and know what they’re doing, and we have customers who come in for the full service,” said Richard Babcock, Auto Skills Center director.

“For those people who want us to work on their vehicles, we generally ask them to drop them off in the morning and in most cases we’ll have it done by the end of the day,” he said. “And for those who want to work on their own cars, while we can’t offer appointments, people can come in up to one week before and pay to reserve a spot.”

The Auto Skills Center director advised owners not

to put off checking their vehicles when preparing for an upcoming car inspection and registration renewal. “Don’t wait until the last minute for an inspection. Go through the process and get it inspected and come in to Auto Skills to make any repairs. Remember, you need to bring your own parts,” he said.

“If people have any questions about identifying which parts or supplies to buy, we can help them,” Babcock added.

Auto Skills is open Tuesday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, Sunday and training holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is closed on Mondays and all U.S. holidays.

Customers can call civ (0611) 705-6679 to see if bay

space is available.To drive to the Auto Skills Center,

proceed to Clay Kaserne’s North Gate, via Erbenheim (the address for GPSs is Rennbahnstrasse 12, 65205 Wiesbaden-Erbenheim). When you have reached Rennbahn Strasse 12, keep driving straight about 300 meters until you reach the gate guards. Signs are posted after you enter post. To view a map on the garrison’s home page visit www.wiesbaden.army.mil/sites/about/ClayNorthAccessMap.pdf.

Tokens for the four bay do-it-yourself car wash are $1 each. The token machine accepts $1, $5 and $10 bills. If you need change, you can stop by the Auto Skills Center and the staff will help you out.

“If you’re washing your car, your best bet is to dry it before driving it off post,” advised Babcock, saying that leaving while still wet may result in a dirty car due to the dust on the north side with construction in progress.

He added that plans are in the works for a drive-through car wash at the facility sometime in the future.

Looking for a used vehicle?The Automotive Skills Center also offers used ve-

hicles for sale at a bid lot located on Mississippi Strasse, between the Hainerberg Chapel and Wiesbaden Army Lodge. Stop by to see what’s currently being offered.

Are you ready to go native? I mean, really native?

Shed your clothes and any final shreds of modesty and gehen zum Spa – go to the spa. Fortune favors the bold, especially regarding this traditional German pastime. Ultimate relaxation, transfor-mative renewal and a great story to tell your friends back home await you.

You’ve probably heard that most German spas are nude, an idea that offends many Americans’ puritanical, prudish sensibilities. We’re taught to imagine an audience naked to make ourselves feel more comfortable in a public speaking forum, for example, but here,

you’re part of the crowd. I know what you’re thinking,

because the same frantic thoughts have scurried through my mind: What if I see a coworker – or, gasp – my boss there? Are people going to stare at me? But you’ll have to get past your gymnophobia (fear of being naked) to fully enjoy your spa experience.

So first things first: Check in at the front desk and receive your electronic, waterproof wristband. Most spas charge by the hour and the band will mark what time you entered. The button on the back will unlock your designated locker. You can also rent a towel if you forgot to bring your own.

Next, cross through the turn style to activate your wrist-band timer and walk into the unisex locker room. Don’t

panic – you don’t have to go nude yet. Baby steps.

Slip into one of the private changing stalls, undress and prepare yourself. You’re going to see bodies of all shapes, sizes and ages, and they’re going to see yours. Deep breaths. Welcome to Europe.

Here we go. Step two: Wrap the towel around your-self, open the door and find your locker. Use the wrist-band to unlock it and stuff your clothes, belongings and another layer of self-con-sciousness inside. There’s no turning back now. Remember your number.

Next, make your way to male or female shower room. Rinse off and try to imagine your nerves washing away. We’re doing this.

Re-wrap yourself and step into the spa. Everyone.

Is. Naked. YOU are naked. Is that old guy staring at me? Your heartbeat hastens. Try not to panic. Sauna, steam room, whirlpool or swimming pool?

Either way, it’s time to go nude. The steam room is a good place to start – it’s dark, and if you still feel you abso-lutely cannot reveal any private parts in public, you may sit on the bottom bench with your feet on the floor.

(Side note – if you think you can keep yourself coyly con-cealed in your towel while you sit on one of the upper benches in the steam room, you’ll quickly be corrected by one of your steam buddies. No bare feet (or bottoms) on the benches! Rookie mistake).

My fellow steam room sweat-ers laughed off the blunder, easing my embarrassment.

Besides that everyone mostly keeps to themselves or exchanges blithe greetings, like you would at the grocery store. It’s okay to look at each other, but not to ogle.

So take it off and bare all, because you’re in for a real treat. Settle in and feel the beads of sweat start to form on your face, back, knees – everywhere.

Take a second to marvel at the fact that you’re hang-ing out in a small hot room sweating, naked, with a bunch of complete strangers. How European and laissez-faire of you!

At the top of the hour, a spa attendant will enter the room with a bucket of what is best described as magical herb water to pour over the coals. Every hour he treats steam-ers to a different aromatic: eucalyptus, lavender, mint or lemongrass, among others.

As the water sizzles over the coals, the scented steam wafts throughout the room. Then the attendant whips his towel in the air to really get things humming. Breathe in and brace yourself as you’re

hit with an intense heat wave of aroma.

It feels like you’re showering in a life-giving elixir in a desert oasis, and it fills every pore and cell. You’re pouring sweat by now and your heart is racing, not from nerves anymore but from the sheer oppressive fragrant fire. It’s both horrible and wonderful. Nudity? Who cares, just get me out of this hell! Or is it heaven?

Just close your eyes, inhale and bear the heat for about eight minutes until you feel you might faint.

Then – relief. Rise slowly and float out of the room and descend into the cold water

pool. Dunk yourself and you’ll feel a head rush like no other, but also possibly a sudden spell of dizziness, so cool yourself gradually instead. How embarrassing would it be to pass out naked in the spa?

By now you feel like a new person, You 2.0. Free of toxins, tension and most of all, a bit more of your reserve. Consider it a step further in your journey to embrace life abroad. Enjoy the rest of your spa day towel- and shame-free; it’s all down-hill from here. Welcome to Germany.

Want to help your children begin to learn better in school? You can do so by paying attention to their learning habits and imple-menting a few tips around the house and in everyday life. Helping your children learn better in school can ultimately allow them to complete homework quicker while advancing with ease and less struggle overall.

1. Stick to a Sleep ScheduleThe right amount of sleep in school-aged children is impor-tant for many reasons, includ-ing good school performance. One of the ways to help your child learn better is by hav-ing him or her stick to a sleep schedule, which also guaran-tees the sufficient amount of sleep required each night. Your child will be able to focus better and feel less irritated throughout the day with ad-equate sleep on a regular schedule.

2. Create FlashcardsIt is an excellent idea to create homemade flashcards when your child has a test or studying material he or she is not familiar with. Creating homemade flashcards is a fun and interactive way to get your child to better understand any subject or topic he or she has difficulties in understanding. Just having your child make his

or her very own flash-cards is a great

study tip to enhance

memo-rization.

3. Use Free AppsDownloading free applications and educational games on your computer, tablet or mobile phone is another way to help your children learn better at school. Free applications assist with introducing new subjects while also giving your children a fun, colorful and interactive medium to play on.

4. Introduce a Musical InstrumentLearning an instrument not only helps your child to focus, but also helps with under-standing math better in terms of counting, multiplying and understanding the structure of numbers. Additionally, learn-

ing a musical instrument helps to develop patience within the classroom, especially when your child is playing in a group ensemble with his or her own designated part. If you don’t know how to teach music, registering your child in a music school, such as Suzuki Academy, is a great way to learn a new instrument.

5. Watch Educational DocumentariesWatching educational docu-mentaries with your children is an excellent way to introduce new subjects and to keep their minds reeling and asking questions. The more learn-ing material you introduce to your children, the easier it becomes to get them actively interested and engaged with learning throughout their time at school.

6. Play Educational GamesPlaying educational games is also highly recommended, regardless of the age or subject covered. Whether you prefer card or video games, intro-ducing educational subjects is a surefire way to help your children learn better while they are attending school.

Knowing how to help your children learn and succeed in school is a way for you to feel at ease while they are progressing in lessons. Be proactive with them and their education by following these tips.

Create a compact SUV? No, we’d rather think outside the box. We’ve created what we always create: a sports car. Five doors, fi ve seats and yet intimate with the road; boasting plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still power-ful. Practical but never ordinary.

The new Macan – built for an intensive life in which the thirst for experience and thrills and spills are ever-present, and in which new challenges are a permanent driving force. Built for a life that refuses to be hemmed in by conventions and feels all the more authentic for it. Direct and intimate.

A sports car that gives us what we’re looking for: that feeling of being alive.
