OCTOBER IS

DOMESTIC

VIOLENCE

AWARENESS

MONTH

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Created in 2001, the ―Walk a Mile in Her Shoes‖ program started

out as a small group of men daring to totter around a park in high

heels in order to bring awareness to domestic violence. Today the

program has grown to become a world-wide movement with tens

of thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis

centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized

violence education, prevention and remediation programs.

The Garmisch Army Community Service Center staff is partnering

with AAFES to schedule our very own ―Walk a Mile in Her Shoes‖ walk. Please check our Face-

book page for dates and times.

The Army Digital Photography Contest is an

annual event that recognizes the talent and

creativity of our Soldiers, Army Civilians and Fam-

ily members beyond their war-fighting duties.

Entries are submitted from Army Installations

worldwide to include Soldiers of deployed units.

Professional photographer and owner of

Photographic Designs Studio, Gary Lott, has

served as a judge and states, ―Overall, there

were lots of great images submitted. It was

obvious that many have a keen eye for the ele-

ments that go into making a great image‖. The

categories one can enter include: people, military

life, nature and landscapes, animals, still life,

design elements, digital darkroom and

monochrome. Last year Garmisch‘s Sherry Keene

Hobbs‘ ―Belly Dancer‖ won in the people

category.

The date for submissions has been extended to

Sunday, October 30. Contact the Crafts Tree staff

for more information and assistance in entering.

Garmisch Family and MWR October 2011 Newsletter

The Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that over two million families are affected by domestic violence in

the United States each year. Other sources say that this number could be as high as six million, since many

incidents go unreported. Clearly, domestic violence is a significant problem often resulting in tragic consequences.

Ending domestic violence begins with increasing our awareness of the problem and supporting victims of violence

in accessing needed resources in order to be safe.

SOME FACTS ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE:

Children are involved in 60 percent of domestic violence cases.

More than three million children witness acts of domestic violence each year.

Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women between the ages of

15-44.

One out of every three abused children become an adult abuser or victim.

Victims and abusers are found in every social and economic class, race, religious

group, and sexual orientation.

Factors such as poverty, single-parent households headed by women, and

parents with less than a high school education were found to be more common

among families suffering abuse.

Root Causes of Domestic Violence:

Power and control.

Growing up in a cycle of violence and abuse.

Distorted concept of manhood.

Learn more about the impact and prevalence of domestic violence by visiting the National Domestic Violence Coali-

tion website at: http://www.ncadv.org/takeaction/DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth.php.

Wear a purple ribbon this month to help bring awareness to the issues faced by and to show support for survivors

of domestic abuse and their children.

IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS IN A VIOLENT OR ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP, HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

Really listen to the person‘s story and believe them.

Give them information, not advice. Refer them to domestic abuse services, such as Army Community Service

Family Advocacy Program (DSN: 440-3777) or the Chaplain (DSN: 440-2819).

Assure confidentiality and keep it.

Remember the need for safety. Let them determine the safest plan for themselves and help them put it into

place.

Let the person know that they are not responsible for their partner's actions, but be careful not to overly criti-

cize the abusive partner. This could set the person up to defend their partner or spouse‘s actions.

Assure the person that they have done nothing to deserve the abuse. Interpersonal violence is wrong, and it is

against the law.

Respect and support their ability to make wise decisions.

Take care of yourself. Be a good example of someone with clear personal boundaries.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

http://www.ncadv.org/takeaction/DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth.php

Over the 2011 Labor Day weekend, USAG Garmisch FMWR Outdoor

Recreation and Mueller Fitness Center hosted the Summer Sports

Festival. Overlooking Artillery Kaserne a group of outdoor athletes

began their holiday weekend participating and or watching three

different sporting events hosted at Kean‘s Lodge. With the weather

cooperating, you could feel the intensity in the air as these unique

athletes gathered for their respective events.

The day started with the Mueller Fitness Center‘s Cross-Country

Challenge. Runners navigated the nature trail around Kean‘s Lodge

and along the Losiach River, covering six-kilometers in just under an

hour. The competitiveness of the run reached well beyond our ex-

pectations, local community member, Ben Reed had prior profes-

sional commitments however refused to miss his chance to conquer

the cross country challenge. He got up at 5:00 a.m. and ran the

course! His time was later added to the others. This year‘s winner in

the men‘s division was Alex Denikiewicz and Elen Berry in the

women‘s division.

Next up on the day‘s line up was the 26th Annual Fat Tire Mountain

Bike Race; which was comprised of three separate races allowing

biker‘s ranging in age from 6-56 to participate. Each year the course

is designed a bit different in order to keep the participants chal-

lenged. This year‘s course was quoted to be the best in years. On a

specially designed course for the younger mountain bike enthusiast,

Koji Heineman of Heidelberg won the popular bambino race for chil-

dren under the age of 10. According to his mother, Rachel Mokelke-

Heineman, ―Koji just made the cut-off to race (he turned 6 last

week!), and was super excited about racing‖. Following the bambi-

nos, the youth race for ages 10-15 was won by Ana Huerta and

Philip Vettel, both members of the Garmisch Community. Alex

Denikiewicz, a local Garmisch sports enthusiasts not only helped set

up the event put was also the only participant to place first in two of

the three sporting events. In the boys category ages 16-17, Alex

Denikiewicz added is second trophy of the day. The much antici-

pated Fat Tire Race was also the final leg of the European Mountain

Bike Championship. The overall race winners were Angelika Rodri-

guez from Illesheim and Andi Strobel from Garmisch. Tobias Reiser

took the Men‘s Open division, Andi Strobel the Men‘s Senior and

Frank Grasegger the Men‘s Master‘s division. The winners of the

Army European Forces Championship series were Angelica Rodri-

guez and Jeffrey Pannaman. Daniel Hoeh form Hohenfels said, "This

was the second year I have participated in your race and I enjoyed it

much more this year because of the number of riders.

The final event of the day was the first-ever Mountain Strong-

man/Strongwoman competition. Set on the hill above the race area,

amidst a dramatic backdrop of sunlit mountains, five strong men

and two strong women competed in feats of strength. Lifting a

BMW, carrying full kegs, flipping a 600 pound tire and lifting a solid

granite atlas ball, were among the feats that truly amazed the spec-

tators. The event was judged by Austria‘s strongest man, Martin

Wildauer who is presently competing in the world championships in

the United States and Garmisch‘s local Strongman Martin Mathias.

Garmisch‘s own Aryn Lockhart won the women‘s category while

Ricky Fischer won the men‘s category.

The day concluded with a victory party, BBQ and bonfire for all of the

participants. Garmisch‘s own Chevy Nova provided the musical en-

tertainment.

Stay tuned for details regarding next year‘s event!

Muscle tissue, bone density, and muscle strength all dwindle over the years. Any one of

these changes can lead to accidents resulting in injuries that can compromise your ability to

lead an independent active life. Strength training is the most effective way to slow and possi-

bly reverse the deterioration process.

Having smaller, weaker muscles doesn‘t just change the way people look or move, it also

affect the body‘s overall metabolic processes. Strong muscles pluck oxygen and nutrients

from the blood more efficiently than weak ones. That means any activity requires less car-

diac work and puts less strain on your heart. Strong muscles are better at absorbing sugar in

the blood, helping the body stay sensitive to insulin (which helps cells remove sugar from the

blood). Strong muscles can help keep blood sugar levels in check, which in turn helps pre-

vent or control type 2 diabetes and is ultimately good for the heart. Strong muscles also en-

hance weight control which leads to a well rounded healthy lifestyle.

Why you should visit the weight room?

Outdoor Recreation, Pete Burke Community Center, and Trips and Tours

Weekend Getaways

Winterfest is Coming!

Friday, December 2, 6-9 p.m. Ready to kick off the 2011/2012 ski season? Winterfest is our

celebration to kick off the winter where we "pray for snow" by throw-

ing old skis in a bonfire, have competitive events to generate good

energy (biathlon) and get winter sports enthusiasts excited, cook

some good hot food (the event is partly outside), and generally get

the community together. For Garmisch Outdoor Recreation, "The

Alpine Experts," this winter will be our first winter in our brand new

facility - it is a beautifully renovated space with great light, in a

GREAT new location (across from the Community Mail Room) and

new winter sports equipment this year as well.

Partnachklamm and Alpspitze

Wellenbad

October 22 , 12:30 p.m., gorge $7, pool

$22, both $28 One of the most beautiful natural attractions

in this area is the Partnachklamm, a wonder-

ful canyon or gorge that is well worth seeing.

Then it is off to the town‘s largest swimming

pool, the Alpspitze Wellenbad, with its sau-

nas, steam bath, Jacuzzis, water slides and

more.

Columbus Day Weekend: Berlin

October 7-10, $430

For many people the most exciting city in

Germany is Berlin! Not only is it the capi-

tol of the country, it is the city that con-

stantly changes as it grows and reinvents

itself. There is a world of historic sites –

the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Char-

lie, and the remains of the Berlin Wall.

There is also a major art scene – every-

thing from old masters to contemporary

artists as well as interesting graffiti! The

History Museum is top notch and it is

only one of many historic sites worth see-

ing. There are three opera houses, the

Berlin Philharmonic, a myriad of plays

and the club scene has a lot going on in

terms of music as well!

Munich in the Third Reich

Friday, October 21 – video at 7 p.m.; Sun-

day, October 23 – 8 a.m. trip to Munich,

$35

One of our most popular tours, where we

recreate the Bier Hall Putsch exactly as it

happened in 1923. After lunch, we visit

the site of the Munich Accords (where

Czechoslovakia ceased to be an inde-

pendent unified country) and see some

other places associated with the Nazi

movement.

Venice/Verona

New Dates November 4-6 $270

One of our favorite offerings. There are

wonderful things to see; great art, archi-

tecture, pigeons in St. Mark‘s square,

and the Romeo and Juliet city with it‘s

wonderful Roman Arena.

Prague

November 10-13, $700

Often on the top of everyone‘s list of

places to visit in Europe. Saturday we‘ll

give you a guided walk through the city.

Anyone interested in attending the op-

era? We can arrange tickets. You‘ll have

free time as well to lose yourself in the

heart of Bohemia.

Paris for Thanksgiving

November 24-27, Call for pricing

We will be heading by train to Paris for

the long weekend. Late November is

the perfect time to visit the City of

Lights– the tourists from the summer

have dissipated so we‘ll have the city

comparatively speaking to ourselves.

Call for more information.

year’s Summer Sports Festival

Here are just a couple of the activities offered by ODR during the

winter season.

Ski Austria Bus

Get on the Ski Express Bus, and leave the driving to us! We visit a

different ski area each time, and visit some out of the way places.

Night Sledding

It is an all mountain, high tech, adrenaline sport. We call it; ―the other

winter sport‖. Imagine a completely groomed and lighted ski run just

for sleds, with a cable car to get you back up, all night long!

Tiny Tim and Scrooge story by Charles Dickens as well!
