Physical actor of i diagnosis questioned i am a Little upset at the verdict Given by doctors in Ansbach Germany concerning the death of a sergeants son presumably from sudden infant death syndrome. I am a Lay representative with the american Side Institute out of Atlanta. Most a a True Side cases occur almost instantaneously a not lingering As this child did. Also with the majority there is no pain. Crib death is not a disease nor the result of one. The paper quoted the Mother As saying the child died when his heart gave out. That quote along with the coma is the reason i am a Little upset. A a a True Side Case occurs when a child has an Apnoea temporary stopping of breathing attack of More than 20 seconds and is unable to revive. In is percent of those infants who presumably die from Side a pathologist later finds evidence of a chronic disorder or a rapidly developing disease that is responsible for the death. One illness which came to mind after the mothers statement is congenital heart disease. Having personally lost two sons to this a thief i am saddened that another family has joined our ranks. There have been at least four reported in the stars and stripes from around the . Army Europe since the Start of the school year and one to my knowledge that was not reported. I would be More than Happy to share the information i have from the Institute. My phone number is 06033-63941, after 9 . May god bless and strengthen the family and friends. A a j. Owens Friedberg Germany a teams need coaches in a employed at a youth Center in the sports office. For the third season in a Row we be needed coaches for our team just before the season started. One of the first questions in masked is Why Isnit there a coach for the team the answer is simple no one has stepped Forward and volunteered to coach the team a yes Volunteer. It May come As a Surprise to some that coaches of youth services sports teams Are not Paia As Are those who instruct such classes and activities As gymnastics martial arts and dance. So what happens when there s no coach there a no team. I a Happy to say that this season seven parents came Forward to coach when they saw that their child steam needed one. Unfortunately we have one team whose coach found out late that he could not coach. A Parent did not Volunteer but luckily a Soldier outside of the team has volunteered to be its coach two weeks after the first one had to leave. We All know that there Are those who just done to have the time to Volunteer for whatever reason and that a Fine. But when there Are parents at their children a practices and they Are there waiting for them to finish and they know that their team is without a coach that a not so Fine. If you have the time please give it to your team. Done to use the a i Don t know anything about the sports Quot excuse. These Are children and besides youth services sports strive to promote fair play fun learning participation and physical conditioning Over winning or losing. One of the parents who volunteered to coach her songs team told me that she knew you had to try to kick the Ball in your opponents goal and try to Stop them from scoring on you in soccer and that she could probably figure out the rest of it. Its a month later now and she a doing Fine. Finally id like to say thanks to All of you who spend your free time helping the children. Lets not forget they Are the future. Lets do what we can for them. A Randy f. Lasalle a Fortal Germany editor s note letters from readers expressing their viewpoints Are published daily in this space. All letters must be signed.

Whais with the beef ladies and gentlemen who in gods creation is responsible for setting the Price of meat in the commissary i picked up a package of Stew beef recently and dropped it immediately a $3.15 for what should be the cheapest beef other than hamburger. For those prices i can do better by buying top round Steak or London Broil for about a Dollar or so less per Pound and slicing it up for beef Stew. Somebody does no to have All his cups in his cupboard that a for sure . Mcgreevey Frankfurt Germany fed up with new addresses 1 can keep silent no More. After months of hearing about How much More efficient and Tim saving the new Apo four line address format would be after months of experiencing firsthand How futile this new concept has been in yielding any positive results i finally have had enough. A recent report on an radio complaining How certain stateside companies especially those with mail order services have been slow in changing their software to accommodate this unique military format caught my attention. Perhaps the military postal service should look More closely at its own. I recently ordered several items from the cafes Catalon and was very careful to provide the sales department with my a new and improved four line address. Imagine my Surprise when the package arrived with my old three line address Complete with a Apo new  apparently even cafes is less than 100 percent convinced that the magical four line improvement is Worth changing mail address software for. Could they be hoping for a reversal a return to the a bad old Days a Lucie c. Estberg Vaihinger Germany a a defending mail service this letter is in response to the letter on postal services april 29. I am in the 127th postal co in Numberg Germany and work in the Supply room. I done to work the mail but support soldiers who Catly which would have greatly seeded up the mail processing system. With the draw Down and budget costs the machines have been Cut leaving All the mail to still be pitched by hand with new zip codes to memorize making it slightly harder. Also it seems like half of the americans in Germany have left for the states so 40 percent of our mail must be redirected a painstaking process by hand. The Christmas �?T90 mail Rush rolled into desert shield storm mail then return from saudi baggage and right into the Christmas �?T91 mail Rush. Now in 1992, redirect takes priority. These Guys and gals work a lot harder in postal a with longer workdays harder labor no Days off i.e., battalion holidays sport week company Holiday limited passes restricted leave and needless complaints a than those i worked with in infantry companies. As for the writers complaint about . Federal express its not a military function it is a civilian function. 1 hereby congratulate All postal workers in Europe for a hard Job Well done. A spec. Dana Smith Nairn Borg Germany a mistake found on map i thoroughly enjoyed the Large 50 years of the stars and stripes insert april 18. I read it cover to cover. The map on Page 13 really threw me though. Here i and my family thought we were planning a trip to Corsica for this summer and now we find we vacationed there three years ago. Its hard to keep up with the rapid changes in Europe a Back then it was called Sardegna Sardinia. Please keep Peter Jager away from the travel Section of future issues of the stars and stripes. I realize the Large cutback in . Forces in Europe will have a big Impact on the stars and stripes and Hope like All of us who wont be leaving any time soon that you weather the fiscal storm. Id like to see you continue forever and would certainly enjoy Reading the 100-year insert especially because i would be 100 years old then too. A George s. Hallmark or.
