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.

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!
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.

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.

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!

Friday, December 2-Sunday, December 4
Adults $270 / children $135 There are two performances of the Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol in the National theater – a matinee at
2 p.m. and an evening performance at 6 p.m. Paul will help anyone who wants to secure tickets in advance
to obtain them. Right now there seem to be tickets for the evening performance costing between 1050
Czech Crowns and 30 crowns ( $60 down to $2). For the matinee there were only a few tickets left in the
second gallery and their cheaper price gives you an indication of what they might be like: 110 crowns or 50
crowns ( $6.50 or $ 3.25) – a clever interpolation of the traditional Nutcracker with bits and pieces of the
Tiny Tim and Scrooge story by Charles Dickens as well!
