“Remember, even in the depths of crisis, you still have a choice. Reach out. You are not weak. You are not alone. Look to your left. Look to your right. We are here. Shoulder to shoulder, Soldier to Soldier, ready to help.”

Those were the words of Jack Benson, a suicide pre-vention expert and a founder of the Veteran’s Crisis Line, as he spoke before hun-dreds of U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Soldiers at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center during Suicide Prevention Stand-Down Day, Sept. 20.

The day began with a

five-kilometer “Run for Life” at 6:30 a.m., and continued with Benson’s talk to Soldiers between the ranks of private and specialist. Later, Benson spoke again to more than 900 civilians and Soldiers with a rank of sergeant through brigadier general.

That event included skits, talks from subject matter ex-perts and a push-up and bur-pee competition. Afterward, people could learn more about suicide prevention resources during an informational fair.

Garrisons throughout the Army are holding Suicide Prevention Stand-Down Days in September in an effort to eliminate suicide in the military.

In the first 155 days of 2012 there were 154 suicides, and during that time period, there were 127 combat deaths, said Sgt. 1st Class Edwin Lauderback during the event.

Statistically speaking, there is a good chance some-one at U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden will die by sui-cide this year, Benson said. “Perhaps somebody in this room,” he said.

“So who is the Soldier who needs help?” Benson asked. “If you find yourself looking around the room trying to pick that person out ― if you think it might be the weak link in your unit ― you’re probably

Suicide stand-downCommunity takes day to focus on preventing suicide

The 44th Expeditionary Sig-nal Battalion shared wires and wisdom with over 1,000 com-munication professionals from about 40 NATO partners Sept. 7-20 at Combined Endeavor 12, the largest multinational communications exercise in the world, at the Grafenwoehr Training Center.

This year’s theme during Combined Endeavor was Coali-tion Information Dominance.

The exercise helps to im-prove U.S., European and NATO military communica-tions and computer network interconnectivity, and to help nations partner together in responding to regional crises or disasters.

During the exercise ,5th Signal Command provided help in multiple ways.

“We have a few sections from within 5th Signal Com-

mand that are supporting this exercise,” said Jeffery D. Mack, an exercise planner and satellite communications manager at 5th Signal Command. “Plans and Engineering designed the network, 44th Expeditionary Signal Battalion has two satel-lite transport terminals on-site providing transport and one network technician to monitor the network. The 69th Signal Battalion provided support, extending the command and control network and provided Defense Switched Network lines wherever requested. The 7th Theater Tactical Signal Brigade rotated four network technicians to support monitor-ing the network.

This year 5th Signal picked up a bit more of the slack dur-ing Combined Endeavor than in before.

Dennis S. wants to know: I am seeking an update on construction of the new com-missary and Post Exchange in Hainerberg Housing. The proj-ect was originally announced to begin in the summer of 2012, but there's been no activity at the site. Could you provide the community with an update and revised completion and opening

date? Also, what will happen with those buildings and lots currently oc-cupied by the com-missary and Post Exchange?

R e s p o n s e : Thanks for your question Dennis. The Post Exchange is scheduled to be-gin construction

in Jan. 2013 and be complete and open by Nov. 2014. The commissary construction is currently in DeCA’s fiscal year 2015 program. The cur-rent Post Exchange will be converted into a "one-stop," in- and out-processing center.Community flu shot schedule

Elga H. asked: When are the flu shots available for the Wiesbaden community? Other communities (for example, Vicenza) started Sept. 15 to give flu shots from their health clinics, and we haven't heard anything yet for Wiesbaden.

Response: If you are not an

active duty military member, there are two ways to get a flu shot this year, Elga. First, see if you can make it to any of the vaccination events in our community listed below. If you are unable to make it to those events, you can come to the walk-in hours that start Tuesday, Oct. 16 and are on Tuesdays 3-6 p.m. and Fridays 9 a.m. to noon at the Wiesbaden Health Clinic. Be aware that children under the age of 3 must be vaccinated at the clinic. Also, all active duty military members will receive their flu vaccines at their units scheduled vaccination event or at the Soldier Medical Readi-ness Center.

Shots will be available as follows: Thursday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Power Zone at Mainz-Kastel Storage Station; Saturday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the commissary; Tuesday, Oct. 16, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Tony Bass Fitness Center; Thursday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Taunus Theater; Saturday, Oct. 20 from 9 a.m.

to 1 p.m. at the Taunus Theater; Tuesday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Tony Bass Fit-ness Center; Thursday, Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Taunus Theater; Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Taunus Theater; Tues-day, Oct. 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Tony Bass Fitness Center; and Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the commissary.More on flu shots

Nicole V. wants to know: How old does a child have to be to get vaccinated against the flu? Can my 8-month-old daughter get a flu shot?

Response: Lt. Col. Xio-mara Frey from the Wiesbaden Health Clinic tells me that in general, people 6 months and older can receive the flu vaccine. There are, however, specific age recommendations for the type of flu vaccine. The live intranasal vaccine, or FluMist, is recommended for healthy people 2 through 49 years of age, and the in-activated ― injectable ― flu

vaccine is recommended for people 6 months and older. So yes, your daughter can be vaccinated.Looking for piano lessons

Mia S. wants to know: Does anybody know if there are piano lessons available for children on post?

Response: There are piano lessons available for children through SKIES Unlimited, but there is a waiting list. To get on the waiting list, you should stop by Parent Central Services at Building 1215, on Clay Kaserne (near the South Gate across from Arts and Crafts). Meanwhile, anyone interested in becoming a SKIES Unlimited instructor ― to provide piano lessons or teach another skill ― should contact the program for more information at (0611) 4080-269 or visit the www.armyger-many.com website and click on SKIES Unlimited under the Child, Youth and School Services tab near the top of the page.

Col. David Carstens, garri-son commander

Stop, think and connect at technology showcaseThe 5th Signal Command is host-

ing an array of activities surrounding National Cyber Awareness Month this October, and as part of this initiative, Clay Kaserne will be hosting their own Cyber Awareness Week.

The Cyber Technology Showcase will be taking place at the Tony Bass Fitness Center Wednesday, October 10 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 11 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and is free and open to all personnel.

This event gives the organizations and units supporting U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden and 5th Signal Command’s missions an opportunity to evaluate the latest emerging cyber-related technolo-gies, network with industry experts, and share ideas and future goals. Showcase

attendees will also be able to participate in educational sessions and demonstra-tions.

5th Signal Command is supporting the National Cyber Security Alliance's initiative to raise awareness to make sure our online lives are kept secure and safe. The Internet is a shared resource and securing it is Our Shared Responsi-bility, the theme for 2012 National Cyber Security Awareness Month.

Brig. Gen. Bruce T. Crawford, 5th Signal commander, said, “If we have the most cutting edge technology, it does us no good if we don't have cutting edge, well-trained and educated people

behind it all.”Taking time out of our

busy schedules to focus on the aspect of Cyber during the month of October by participating in the Cy-ber Showcase affords us the opportunity to make a positive step towards increasing our education. The education can range

from sitting down with our children and raising their awareness about bullying or taking measures to protect our per-sonnel identification information while using the internet, we all have a “shared responsibility.”

Cyber security begins with Stop, Think, Connect. These three simple

words are the starting point for staying safer and more secure online.

Stop: Before you use the Internet, take time to understand the risks and learn how to spot potential problems online.

Think: Take a moment to be certain the path ahead is clear. Watch for warn-ing signs and consider how your online actions could impact your safety or your family’s.

Connect: Enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you’ve taken the right steps to safeguard your-self and your computer.

wrong … We can’t figure this out based on assignment, or rank or race or deployment. We have to reach everyone.”

Benson encouraged Soldiers who think another person might be suicidal to ask, “Are you thinking about hurting yourself?”

“When your situational aware-ness is telling you that something is not right, you’re probably right,” Benson said.

Asking the question is not put-ting the idea in the person’s head, Benson said. “It gives them the chance to say it out loud, which may be exactly what they need to do.”

It is important, however, not to ask the question in a leading way, Benson said. For instance, don’t say, “You’re doing OK, right?”

The key is to ask the question se-riously in an environment where the person can answer honestly, Benson said. He did not rule out bars, but suggested talking to someone away from the crowd, where the person can be honest.

Soldiers should program at least one crisis hotline number into their cell phones, as well as the number to the chaplains’ office ― even if they think they’ll never need it, Benson said.

Benson shared with the audience one of his main reasons for becom-ing active in suicide prevention efforts. His uncle, a veteran, com-

mitted suicide, as well as his uncle’s son, who was born at Walter Reed Medical Center and left behind two children and a wife.

Benson said he sometimes thinks his cousin committed suicide partly because his father had made it seem an acceptable way out, and he hopes that kind of normalization never happens in the military.

“People might say that Sgt. Jones was a stud ― a real warrior ― al-ways cool when the (stuff) hit the fan. If he couldn’t make it through, if suicide was the answer for him, then it certainly should be OK for me,” Benson said.

The truth is most Soldiers reach out, find support and get better, Benson said.

“If you’re injured physically, you throw yourself into rehab to get better and get back into the fight,” Benson said. “Why would mental pain be any different? More impor-tant, why should it be any easier?

“Think of all the phrases you dwell on, ‘Pain is weakness leav-ing your body.’ ‘No one drowned in their own sweat.’ They all apply here. It takes hard work and some pain, but you get through it, stron-ger, more resilient, a better Soldier. And you’re not alone in this battle.”

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Command Sgt. Maj. Sa’eed Mus-tafa opened the morning’s second speaking event by talking about his

personal experiences with suicide in the military.

After working extremely hard to become a squad leader as a young Soldier, Mustafa said a couple of weeks into the job, a Soldier in his squad killed himself. “Stunning. 28 years in the Army and I never forgot that. 28 years in the Army and I still ask myself, ‘What could I have done to prevent that?’” Mustafa said.

Years later, someone told him a former fellow Army Soldier who had been a close friend of his had committed suicide. “He was sergeant shock, and I was sergeant rock,” Mustafa said, describing how close their friendship had been.

His friend left the Army, how-ever, and over the years they fell out of touch, Mustafa said.

“I ask myself every day, ‘Why didn’t I call him?’ ‘Why did I let us get out of touch?’ ‘What could I have done to prevent it? We were so close. I know I could have done something,’” Mustafa said.

Wiesbaden’s suicide help line is mil 337-5520 or civ (0611) 705-5520. For the chaplain’s office, call mil 335-5171 or civ (0611) 4080-171. After hours, call mil 337-5096 or civ (0611) 705-5096 for the on-call chaplain.

In the event of a suicide attempt, contact the Military Police at 114. Provide basic life support until police arrive.

Soldiers from 5th Sig-nal that participated in this exercise gained important on the job training.

“All involved with engineering, installation, operating and maintaining of the two networks are exposed to the challenges of C4I ― command, con-trol, communications, and intelligence ― interoper-ability between our NATO partners,” Mack said.

Sgt. Steven L. Gali-more, 44th ESB command post node team chief, at Combined Endeavor, said

CE gives everyone an opportunity to

learn more about their job and the chance to troubleshoot their differ-ent equipment. Also, in regards to transmitting information through other countries, it gives us the opportunity to show how reliable we are which helps keep other coun-tries’ information going, and that creates a bond and partnership amongst NATO countries.

The overall objectives of exercise Combined Endeavor is to build partnership with all par-ticipating nations, support operational preparation of deployable C4 forces, prepare coalition forces through training and pro-fessional development,

and develop interoper-ability standards.

Fifth Signal Com-mand’s objectives during the exercise are to continue to foster and sustain coali-

tion partner relationships and to establish robust interservice and interna-tional communications capabilities for future missions when required.

S e p t e m b e r i s National Readiness Month. The focus on being “Army Ready” helps create a culture of preparedness and when prepared, we can react to events that are outside of our control, determining the best actions to protect ourselves and our family.

Our community relies on individual readiness and aware-ness. That is what the Ready Army pro-gram represents; an increased resilience of our Army commu-nity. This is done by

informing Soldiers, their Families, Army Civilians and con-tractors of relevant hazards within the community and those they might experience while traveling Eu-rope. We are also en-couraging everyone to “Build a Kit” for their homes and vehicles, “Make a Plan” for the unexpected, and “Be Informed” about events which might adversely affect their lives. Things to con-sider are politically driven events, adverse weather, and fires within the home.

We m u s t b e “AWARE” of things around us, and pre-pare. This is being Army Strong and Army Ready.

By chance, a Soldier stationed at the U.S. embassy in Beruit called Henry because he needed to help his ill wife in Indonesia. Henry spent hours on the phone coordinating assistance for the Soldier. As in this instance, Henry often goes out of his way to help others and find a way to help when others.

In addition to his regular du-ties, Earl Mc-Farland, Army C o m m u n i t y Service volun-teer coordina-tor, recently took on the role of victim advocate. “The nominee is there for the victim, no matter what the time or the incident, and continues to pro-vide assistance weeks after the initial contact,” his supervisor noted.

Doris Bowen, Educational and Developmental I n t e r v e n t i o n S e r v i c e s a d -ministrator and director, is “... a shining example

of hard work , d i l i g e n c e a n d dedication. She is a champion for children military/civilian families and an advoate for her fellow staff members,” her supervisor said.

At a stressful time when many people were moving in and out of the garrison, Gordana Petrovic, housing management assistant, consistently provided top-notch customer service for everyone who visited her office.

S e p t e m b e r i s National Readiness Month. The focus on being “Army Ready” helps create a culture of preparedness and when prepared, we can react to events that are outside of our control, determining the best actions to protect ourselves and our family.

Our community relies on individual readiness and aware-ness. That is what the Ready Army pro-gram represents; an increased resilience of our Army commu-nity. This is done by

informing Soldiers, their Families, Army Civilians and con-tractors of relevant hazards within the community and those they might experience while traveling Eu-rope. We are also en-couraging everyone to “Build a Kit” for their homes and vehicles, “Make a Plan” for the unexpected, and “Be Informed” about events which might adversely affect their lives. Things to con-sider are politically driven events, adverse weather, and fires within the home.

We m u s t b e “AWARE” of things around us, and pre-pare. This is being Army Strong and Army Ready.

Story and photos by Karl Weisel

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Public Affairs Office

Sept. 11, 2012, started with an auditorium full of Wies-baden Middle School students commemorating Patriot Day/National Day of Service and Remembrance and concluded with a rain-drenched motor-cycle rally to Veterans Park on Clay Kaserne.

The common theme for the military community youths and German-American bikers was remembering those killed on 9/11 and those still serving in harm’s way to help make the world a safer place for everyone.

“Today is a solemn occa-sion where we memorialize the men and women who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001,” said Dr. Susan Hargis, Wiesbaden Middle School principal.

As music teacher Annette Benton led the middle school band through a series of patri-otic songs, guest speaker U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Command Sgt. Maj. Sa’eed Mustafa talked about his recol-lections of 9/11 and its impact on a generation of men and women in uniform. Telling the students the 11th anniversary of 9/11 was a day to “remember, pay respect and celebrate,” Mustafa described how he had just finished physical training in Fort Carson, Colo., when he got

the news of the terrorist attack on his home state of New York.

“That day it was sunny and it was bright and it seemed like a normal day,” Mustafa told his young listeners, adding that he had only recently welcomed a daughter into the world (now a member of the Wiesbaden Middle School band). “But then a phone call came in from the platoon sergeant. … He said ‘you have to go and turn on the TV.’”

Mustafa said he, like the rest of the world that day, stood in horror as he watched thousands of people being killed in a ter-rorist attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon.

Mustafa told the youths that for him, a native of Highland, N.Y., and someone who visited the World Trade Center as an eighth-grader, watching the destruction was especially hard. “The World Trade Center meant a lot to me. Whenever I went I went home to New York, I always felt like I was home when I looked over and saw the towers. Now I’m in front of the television and the World Trade Center is on fire.

“As we were watching, we saw a second plane fly into the second tower. … I turned to my Soldiers and said, ‘this is no ac-cident – get ready to go to war.’

“Eleven years later and what we’ve seen is our country has been at war to defend freedom,” Mustafa said. “How many of

you here have parents in the military? Let’s give them a round of applause. … They do it for love of their country.”

Going back to his original theme, the garrison’s senior noncommissioned officer said that while remembering is cru-cial, paying respect is equally important ― “respect for the people in uniform and respect for your teachers.

“How can we celebrate something on such a day of loss,” Mustafa asked his lis-teners. “We celebrate because we have had resolve; we have been resilient. On this day you are here free to learn, to go about your daily lives thanks to the sacrifices of so many people.

“We must reflect on those things, but we must also celebrate,” he said, charging the students to learn everything they can and to be the best they can be.

As many people were settling down to an eve-ning meal at home that evening, members of the Wiesbaden-Nassau Har-ley Owners Group were headed through a driving rain to Wiesbaden’s Clay Kaserne. It was the 11th year since 2001 that the German-American club had commemorated 9/11 with the motorcycle rally.

After placing a wreath at Veterans Park on Clay Kaserne the club members paid tribute with a moment of silence.

“They have been doing this every year since the tragedy occurred,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Marc Scott, 66th Military Intelligence Brigade’s senior NCO and a member of the Wiesbaden-Nassau Harley Owners Group. “We’re here to commemorate something that is greater than us.”

Scott and fellow club mem-ber and veteran Bruce Hills

said the chapter has started a fundraising effort to have a dedicated 9/11 memorial. “We’re trying to generate some interest and support.”

Hills said people interested in the fund-raising effort can visit the club’s website at www.wiesbaden-nassau-chapter.de for more information. People interested in joining the club can call Hills at civ (06151) 62442 or (0171) 802 1954.

“Anybody’s welcome ― they don’t have to have a mo-torcycle,” he said.

There are three reasons to keep sick children at home:a When your child has a con-

tagious or communicable disease.a When your child is exhibit-

ing any of the signs or symptoms listed below or has an illness for which temporary exclusion is recommended for the health and safety of your child as well as other children.a When your child does not

feel well enough to comfortably participate in their normal school activities.

Children with the following symptoms or illness should be kept home from school:

Fever: A temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater demonstrates the need to exclude the student from the school setting. Note: A fever is considered present at 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes, a child should stay home when a fever is accompanied by behavior changes or other symp-toms of illness, i.e.: rash, sore throat, stomach ache/vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, head ache, ear ache. The student should be fever free (oral temperature below 99 degrees Fahrenheit) without the use of fever-reducing medicines, for a complete school day (24 hours) before returning to school.

Flu Symptoms: Fever over 100 degrees Fahrenheit or greater with cough and/or sore throat. Other flu symptoms can include fatigue, body aches, vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Yes, a child should stay home if the child looks or acts ill; if the child has diarrhea with temperature elevation of 100° Fahrenheit or greater; if child has diarrhea and vomiting.

Rash with fever: A body rash without fever or behavior changes usually does not require exclusion from school; seek medical advice.

Yes, keep the child home and seek medical advice. Any rash that spreads quickly, has open, weep-ing wounds and/or is not healing should be evaluated.

Conjunctivitis: Pink or reddish color to the white part of the eye and thick discharge may be yellow or greenish in color.

Yes, a child should stay home until discharge and signs of in-fection have cleared or completion of 24-hour t r e a t m e n t with ophthal-mic solution prescr ibed by a health c a r e p r o -vider.

Sports and leisure

By Shirani TisdaleSpecial to the Herald Union

No longer will local, devel-oping young soccer players have to drive away to Heidelberg and Kaiserslautern to get specialized training and skill development opportunities.

But as Heidelberg prepares to close, the United States Youth Soccer program has put into place a transition plan to es-tablish a joint program between Wiesbaden and Heidelberg.

In the past, players who wanted to participate in the program had to drive away to train with a team.

The program is designed to offer serious players a chance to play the game at a more advanced level.

“This is not a group for youth that are just looking for something to do,” said Paul Guelle, Heidelberg/Wiesbaden Select U19 Boys coach who said the goal of USYS is to identify American soccer players and provide the tools and opportu-nities for them to develop into the player they want to become.

The program operates year round and usually involves two Sunday training sessions a month for district play. Tour-naments between the districts, exhibition matches and regional camps promote regular com-petition. Once on the district team, qualified players may also be selected for advanced competition.

“If you’re living in Germany and playing (Department of Defense Education Activity) high school soccer, colleges in the States rarely have an oppor-tunity to see you,” said Guelle.

“Through some of the connec-tions made through organiza-tions like USYS it is possible to increase the opportunity for college exposure.”

Several players have ad-vanced as a result of the pro-gram. In the spring, two players from the program were selected to the USYS Region I ‘95 team; placing them among the top players in their age group in the USA. In July, two Heidelberg players took part in the Surf Cup college showcase hosted in San Diego, California.

Rebecca Kuhn, current Heidelberg/Wiesbaden club secretary, said, “I’m thrilled to be able to invite more Wies-baden families to the program without having to provide a travel disclaimer.”

More than 30 players be-tween the ages of 6 and 19 showed up for the tryouts held on Sept. 16 at Mainz-Kastel, Wiesbaden. With the 34 that tried out in Heidelberg the pre-vious weekend, the year is off to a strong start coaches said.

The coaches and volunteers

put the ODP hopefuls through various skill exercises to test their levels. Many trainers in the organization have played or currently play on a professional team in Germany. Some played college soccer in the United Sates and all have had or will have pro-fessional training in coaching. This ranges from E to C licenses and includes National Soccer Coaches Association of America diplomas and USYS modules. According to Heidelberg/Wi-esbaden Select President, John Little, the best part about the coaches is their “love of the game and their willingness to share it with the youth.”

Tryouts may be over but coaches will still consider interested players if you con-tact the organization directly. The program is also seeking more trained coaches from the Wiesbaden area as well as involvement from parents. Contact Kuhn at [email protected] or read more about the program at http://usyouthsoccereurope-odp.com/exec.php.

at the Wiesbaden Fitness Center Oct. 6 with doors opening at 6 p.m. and bouts starting at 7 p.m. Call mil 337-5541 or civ (0611) 705-5541 for details.

Coach applicants must be 21 or older and have competitive swim coaching experience or equiva-lent as a swimming instructor, volunteer coach/instructor or swimmer. Compensation is possible, subject to negotiation and commensurate with experience.

As the warm weather slowly fades away, we all think about how to keep the healthy feel-ing of summer a little longer. Cooler weather and shorter days can take a toll on our immune system.

Research shows that one way to stay strong is to continue to enjoy plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. September is “National Fruits and Veg-gies — More Matters” month. This is a great time to make the transition from summer’s fresh peaches and blueberries to the delicious pears, plums and grapes of the fall.

Orange fruits and vegetables are a particularly tasty way to boost the immune system all year long. Delicious fall fa-vorites include sweet potatoes, butternut squash or pumpkin. Orange foods contain the anti-oxidants beta-carotene, a pre-cursor to vitamin A, as well as vitamin E. These vitamins work alongside vitamin C to improve the immune system’s ability to protect against viral infections and to fight off colds and flu.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recom-mends eating a variety of color-ful fruits and veggies every day in order to promote good health, and says that almost everyone could benefit from including more of these tasty choices in

every meal. A genera l guideline is to aim for five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, and most people should in-crease the amount they eat every day.

There are plenty of sim-ple and fun ways to add a colorful va-riety of fruits and veggies to your meals and snacks. All forms of fruits and veggies mat-ter—use fresh, frozen, canned, dried and 100 percent fruit juice. Here are some tips to increase daily fruit and vegetable intake:

Make fruits and vegetables visible: Keep a colorful fruit bowl visible on the kitchen counter, dining table or desk at work. Fresh produce can also be kept within easy reach in the refrigerator and portioned into small servings for a quick and easy snack.

Double up the veggies: When making stir fry or pasta, it is easy double the usual por-tions of vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers and maintain the taste of the dish. When serving vegetables as a side dish, add an extra helping, so at least half

of the plate is filled with fruit and veggies.

Add fruits to everything: Many daily treats can give your immune system a boost by topping them with fruit. Add bananas to breakfast ce-real, pancakes or toast. Top an afternoon snack of yogurt with

cranberries. Enjoy snacks of fruits like or-anges, pears or apples anytime.

Try something new: Even the tasti-est healthful meals can eventually lose their appeal. Keep healthy eating interesting by regularly adding new variety. Try new reci-pes for colorful side dishes. Browse the produce aisle or farm-ers market for a new fruit for afternoon snacks. Each season provides an opportu-nity to try something

new and delicious.Try this fruit salad for a great

way to strengthen your immune system this fall:

― 1 mango, peeled and cut into cubes

― 1 medium banana, sliced― 1 cup pineapple chunks,

fresh or canned― 1 orange, sectioned― 2 passion fruitsCombine first four ingredi-

ents in a bowl and stir gently to mix. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour to allow flavors to blend. Spoon fruit salad into dessert bowls. Cut each passion fruit in half and serve one half with each bowl. Scoop the pas-sion fruit out of the skin, and use it as a dressing for the fruit salad.

Brain Teaser

Answer: House numbers. Each digit costs 15 cents. Answer: Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits the bottom of the bucket first. The 30 degree F water is frozen, and the ball would stop when it hit the ice.

WhAt needS to be Fixed?One morning as Paul was getting his newspaper, he noticed on his new house something that needed to be fixed. Heading over to the hardware store, he spoke to the manager, describing his problem. The manager said, “I know just what you need”. He led Paul down some aisles and stopped in front of some bins. Digging down into some of the bins, he set something up on the shelf. “I saw your house when it was built”, the manager said. “Here’s all that you’ll need and how much it’ll cost... five will be 15 cents while fifty will be 30 cents, 250 will be 45 cents, while 2507 will only cost you 60 cents. One lady, about 20 blocks from your house, bought 30247 and only paid 75 cents! These are black, but they also come in gold and silver.” What was the man-ager selling?

bAll in A bucketIf I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, dropping them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same ques-tion, but the location is in Canada?
