Marshallese Wordof the Day

ukote - to turn it over or next

Schoolpop puts us in touch with our inner Gary ColemanI should probably thank the folks who

put together the Schoolpop Web site thatallows us to earn money for the Recre-ation Fund, while shopping online, but Ican’t.

And I won’t take a cheap shot at mywife who enjoys Internet shopping asmuch as anyone, because that justwouldn’t be right.

Besides, in all honesty, the online ser-vice hasn’t changed her habits much —all her favorites are on the site. It just re-directed her efforts and made her the fu-ture single greatest contributer to the Rec-reation Fund. Next time you’re driving aboat and you notice that rates haven’tgone up in a while, thank her.

The problem is, the service has turnedme into a raging shopaholic, and I don’tlike to shop.

I recently got an e-mail from the vicepresident of Barnes and Noble thankingme for his second quarter earnings state-ment. When two new B-Boats show upat the marina — that’s me.

It all started with a casual conversationafter I returned from vacation last month. Myboss informed me that the online shoppingservice, in the works for some time now,had come to fruition while I was gone. I’d

read the back issue of the Hourglass, so Iknew something about it. My boss just sug-gested I check it out and see what I think.

It was an expensive thought.You see, I hadn’t shopped at all on

vacation, really, spending the majorityof my t ime f lying between familymember’s homes and going to baseballgames. So, with my wife and daughterstill off-island, I found myself staring ata computer screen with all my favoritestuff in front of me and an unused creditcard in hand.

I trembled as I accessed the list of po-tential vendors -- books, videos, sportinggoods, to name a few.

In the hardware site, I found a ChicagoCubs toliet brush and seat combo for$9.95, plus postage and handling. It camewith a video of greatest Cubs moments,but it wasn’t much of a free gift — just acouple minutes worth. Apparently, whenthe Cubs had greatest moments, film wasstill in development.

Then I latched onto the Barnes andNoble video section and discovered thatevery episode of my favorite cartoon fromthe ’80s, “Robotech,” was in a single DVDcollection. I had to have it.

I remember growing up and running fromthe bus stop to ensure that I made ithome for the opening sequence of F-14-looking jet aircraft battling alien fighters.I’ll let you know if it has stood the test oftime, since I now apparently own thewhole dang series at the expense of mydaughter’s future college education.

In short, the Schoolpop folks have mademe into the Internet equivalent of a cata-tonic man sitting on the couch at 2 a.m.,in the dark, eating stale Doritos and chan-nel surfing between infomercials withchip-stained hands dialing up the 1-800numbers on the cordless phone.

“Hello? Have you got ‘The Best of GaryColeman Collection?’”

—Speaking of Coleman, as you probably

know, the acting, comic genius, who onceportrayed a former USAKA commanderin an unforgetable TV movie, will take tothe political stage by challenging ArnoldSchwarzenegger, Larry Flynt and morethan 200 others for the gubernatorial elec-

tion in California.In an additional, small note, Danny’s

mom, from the AFN commercial fame,has also submitted her name for electionto California’s highest post. She’s run-ning on the “Get that budget back in or-der, and watch your neighbor!” platform. Ithink she has a good chance if she canjust get the face-time Arnold is getting.

I thank God every day I live in a coun-try where this kind of comedy occurs inserious day-to-day politics.

How is this NOT a reality television pro-gram? For $3,500 filing fee, 65 signaturesand the cost of a decent cam-corder, Icould have filed for the race and coveredmy campaign from start to finish. Or bet-ter yet, enlist Coleman, whose latestcareer moves have involved celebrity dat-ing on the E! channel. Tell me he wouldn’tsign up for this venture.

I would shoot Coleman visiting an el-ementary school shaking hands with fifthgraders who tower over him.

Can you imagine the debates betweenthe Terminator and the Kid with the Bro-ken Halo?

“I vant to be your governor,” Schwarz-enegger said.

“What you talkin’ ‘bout, Arnold?” saidColeman.

I demand that AFN send us this cover-age live. Who wouldn’t take off work towatch it? We’ll all meet at the Adult Rec-reation Center.

Or I can wait a few months and buy theDVD on Schoolpop.

—OK, you’ve probably noticed a slight

change in the look of the Hourglass.This actually resulted from a drunken

bet with former associate editor PeterRejcek, and he now owes me $20. He’scurrently in Malaysia, which has a re-markable number of Internet cafes, judg-ing by the number of e-mails I and othershave received. I hope now he’ll check outthe Hourglass online and send me mymoney.

Seriously, we’re trying to give the pa-per a more modern and cleaner look.

We’ve kept the features you rely on —weather, sun-moon-tides and movie andTV listings — and parked those in a stan-dard, easy-to-find location, the first two arestill on the back page and the movies arenow listed on the inside of the back cover.The ads are still in the back, running 9-11,and TV has fallen back a page to 7-8, thuskeeping news together on pages 3-6, andon the back.

All this at no extra charge. We hopeyou like it, and thanks for reading.

Fuel pier construction creates water hazardsBy Jan WaddellStaff Writer

During reconstruction of the fuelpier, protruding rebar, hazardoussteel and falling objects pose a dan-ger to boaters, swimmers andsnorklers.

“Boaters should not shoot the pier,”said Darrell Haugh, Project Managerfor Oceaneering International Incor-porated. “The area is off limits”

Haugh added, the entire area isclosed to swimmers, boaters andsnorklers anyway.

“We have had boats shoot underthe pier and Harbor Control hasbeen called,” added Haugh. “Therehave also been snorklers seen un-der the pier.”

The pier pilings are being reworkedand a new dock will be rebuilt at theend of the pier along with reconstruc-tion of the buoy system, accordingto Haugh.

The sole purpose of the pier is totransport fuel to boats and construc-tion should be finished in May of2004, said Haugh.

During the work, large pieces ofconcrete surrounding the pilings arebeing removed and the pilings arebeing encompassed with new mate-rial. When the old concrete is re-moved it falls into the water, he said.The falling debris is then removed tothe appropriate land fill.

During high tides the exposed pro-truding rebar, which is part of thepilings, is covered by water and eventhough safety measures have beentaken for workers who know about it,

a danger still exists there, Haugh said.Although the falling debris does

pose a hazard to boaters, swimmersand snorklers, said Haugh, recre-ational boaters, boating around andunder the pier, also pose a hazard tothe hard-hat divers in the water

working on the pier. The hard-hatdivers are in the water everyday sevendays a week, working on the pier.

In the future, a yellow boom will beplaced around the adjacent beacharea. Haugh said, swimmers shouldstay within the boom area.

Mickey Nenam of San Juan Construction looks up from his work on cement pilingssupporitng the fuel pier. The work is part of a renovation project, but snorklers and boattraffic near the pier has caused concern that bystanders could be injured by debrisfrom the work.

Measles outbreak forces travel requirementsBy Jim BennettEditor

A measles outbreak on Majurohas implications for travelers fromthe capital city.

Anyone between 6 months and 15years old traveling from Majuro toHonolulu or Guam, must show proofof immunization against the diseasebefore boarding aircraft off-island,according to an RMI Ministry ofHealth announcement. Those whohave not been immunized, or cannot show proof of immunization, willbe turned back from the plane.

Proof of vaccination includes theyellow immunization cards issued

by doctors and nurses, saidStephan Notarianni, USAKA HostNation liaison officer.

This does not include Kwajaleinand Ebeye residents who stopoverat the island during their flight toHonolulu, he added, unless theydeplane and spend time at Majurobefore continuing their trip on adifferent flight.

The Ministry of Health confirmedthe measles outbreak on Aug. 5,with more than 50 cases as of lastweek, according to reports in theMarshall Islands Journal.

No cases have been reported onEbeye or Kwajalein, according to

local health officials.Since the outbreak, USAKA and

RMI health officials have begun avaccination effort, most notablylast week, when health care profes-sionals traveled to Ebadon andElanak to immunize children onthose islands.

Health officials. both local and atthe World Health Organization, saymeasles is contagious, but add thelikliehood of catching it whilesitting on a plane with someonewho has the illness is slim.

The last time the MarshallIslands had a measles outbreakwas in 1988.


1st. Sgt. Dennis Neal visits with Cris Foster and CW4 Frank Cisneros outside his officeWednesday morning.

1st Sgt. Dennis Neal has feltfirst-hand the family atmospherehe wants to promote on Kwajalein.

Arriving with two daughters,Alexis, 8, and Alyssa, 2, Neal hasjumped into his job as the topenlisted soldier at USAKA despitethe absence of his wife, Capt.Annette Neal, who will join himlater.

“The entire island wrapped theirarms around us,” he said. “Youcouldn’t find this kind of atmo-sphere anywhere else.

“The same motivation and togeth-erness that I’ve found so far off-duty, I would like to see that sameenthusiasm when we come towork,” he added. “Maybe that’s toomuch, or maybe there’s some ofthat, but if we could do that, thisisland would be too perfect.”

Between his work and family,Neal still has a few boxes to un-pack in his office and pictures,plaques and diplomas to hang onthe walls. But the family photoshave made it out on prominentdisplay, along with the New En-gland Patriots collectable from the2002 Super Bowl, a throw-back tohis Boston-heritage.

Neal joined the Army in 1983,after graduating high school there.

Over the past 20 years, he’s beena drill instructor at Fort Jackson,

effective and if not, there’s enoughresources here, as far as people,”Neal said. “And just knowing that,makes my job easier.”

What he learns here will carryover into the future, too, as themilitary becomes more linked withcivilians, particularly in logisticsand support fields.

“The Army has always workedwith civilians, but it’s even more sotoday,” Neal said. “There’s a lot tolearn, and a lot of people here tolearn from. The next step for me, isall management functions and thatwill include civilians and soldiers.”

Neal comes to Kwajalein fromFort Lee, where he served as firstsergeant for the garrison and theCombat Arms Support Command.There, he worked with 580 soldiers,dealing with a host of soldierissues.

“There are more civilian concernshere, because that’s the nature ofthe beast, but my leadership stylewon’t change,” he said. “I’m stillgoing to go out there and be proac-tive.”

Part of that involves recognizingthe differences, but working

through the similarities. Soldiersserve under the Uniform Code ofMilitary Justice and civilians havetheir own set of rules, he said.

“We all have the same goals andmissions in mind,” Neal said. “Wewant to bring this communitytogether. We need to get everyoneon the same sheet of music.

“The approach is the same,” headded. “It’s just a matter of gettingthe point across in the most tactfuland effective manner possible. Andthat’s true of soldiers, too. Youwant to treat each with dignity andrespect.”

Specifically, Neal will concentrateon Army and DoD civilian person-nel matters, but also plans to focuson improving the communityatmosphere.

“This place is definitely different,”Neal said. “We’re far from the flagpole, and some things will takeawhile longer because we’re iso-lated, but the job itself gets done.”

He’ll work issues relating to thenew housing regulations set forrelease soon, along with the YouthAdivisory Council, established by

“It’s very important,” Neal said.“We need to make sure kids have avoice and we listen to them.”

With school starting next week,expect to see Neal visiting withschool officials and students, alike.

Neal will also promote culturalawareness issues by supporting

the Special Emphasis EqualOpportunity Program, with whichhe has experience.

“We won’t force-feed anyone, butwe’re going to let people know it’sout there,” he said.

Neal said the atmosphere atKwajalein does force him to thinkof other soldiers around the globe.

“It’s easy to lose sight of the restof the world,” he said. ”We all have

Taking pride in residential yardscannot only be personally rewarding,but in some case it can mean a mon-etary reward.

It’s also the neighborly thing to do,officials said.

On September 16, a three-membergroup of judges will travel around theresidential areas of Kwajalein andRoi-Namur to determine which yardsare worthy of the honor of beingnamed Quarters or the Quarter.

Loanne Bulles, RMI Intern in theUSAKA Host Nation Office, willchoose over the next few weeksjudges who will review yards in theSouth, North, Ocean, Emon, Centraland Roi-Namur areas.

Bulles said the judges will visit allthe residential areas on Kwajaleinand Roi-Namur, awarding a total ofsix $50 gift certificates, or one foreach area. The gift certificates aregood at Macy’s, Macy’s West andGimbles on Roi- Namur.

The program is “to promote a beau-tification program within theKwajalein and Roi-Namur housingareas,” said Bulles. “(The contest)applies to residents of Kwajalein andRoi-Namur who are responsible forthe maintenance of a yard.”

Winning residents will be notifiedby the end of the day on September16, said Bulles. She added the giftcertificates will be awarded the fol-lowing Monday. The gift certificatescan be picked up, by the winners,at the Macy’s Customer Servicedesk.

Winning residents will also receivethe Quarters of the Quarter signs todisplay in the yards.

Tessie Geronimo has lived onKwajalein for three years and haswon the Quarters of the Quarteronce based on her numerous plants.

“I just plant it. I just throw it in apot and it grows,” she said.

Geronimo said she has over 100orchid plants of 10 different variet-ies. She takes cuttings from otherplants and starts new one. Some ofthe other plants which Geronimocares for daily are hibiscus, banana,jasmine, aloe vera, ginger, bougain-villea and a single chili plant.

Geronimo added, she spends aboutan hour each morning tending andfertilizing her plants.

“I just like to garden,” she said.In a continuing effort to help with

the beatification of Kwajalein, allresidents should act as good neigh-

Still, he said he’s looking forwardto doing his mission at Kwajalein.

“This is the Army’s best-keptsecret. I’m energized and motivated.I could not have dreamed this.”

Tessie Geronimo works on her award-winning lawn Friday morning. Officials will awardQuarters of the Quarter on September 16, and ask that while not all yards can look likeGeronimos, folks keep them shipshape including picking up fronds and returningtrashcans to the quarters after pick-up.



CA plans rookiesoftball clinicBy Jim BennettEditor

You’re over 21, well over 21, andyou haven’t picked up a bat or ballglove since the neighborhood kidspicked you last for the sandlot game,lo those many years ago. No problem,says Kaya Landers, Athletic super-visor.

Landers and her husband, Torrey,who works as Recreation superinten-dent, will host an adult softball clinicAug. 23, at 5:30 p.m.

It’s part of an effort to make adultathletics more accessible to morepeople. In fact, the Landers will hosta pre-season clinic for all the majorsports.

“The whole definition of recreation,in my mind, is that it is user -friendly,” she said. “You have clinicsfor children, but where can adultsget coaching?”

For softball, the one-evening clinicwill feature fundamentals such ashitting, catching and the game’srules. In addition, those interestedwill be placed in a free agent pool fordrafting onto C- and D-divisionteams.

“This gives us a way to make soft-ball available for all kinds of peopleat every level,” Landers said.


The Kwajalein Kids Club, alongwith the Army Women’s OrganizationLeague, have joined forces in a con-tinuing effort to collect Campbell’sproduct labels and General Mills boxtops to purchase educational mate-rial for the Ebeye Head Start pro-gram.

The KKC consists of about 15 mem-bers rangingfrom first- through thesixth-graders. They meet before andafter school and have been organiz-ing and counting the box tops andlabels, said Trina Tiffany.

Box tops earn cash from GeneralMills, which can be used to purchasebasic school room supplies, and theCampbell’s product labels are usedto purchase items directly from theCampbell’s catalog such as comput-ers, audio/visual equipment, sportsequipment, reference books, musicalinstruments and even a mini-van,Tiffany said. They have earned $250in box tops and collected and about9,000 Campbell’s labels so far thisyear.

The EHS program has about 200children ranging in age from threeto five years old, Tiffany said.

Label and box top donation can be

made at the Surfway, in the bin lo-cated at the front of the store, or canbe turned into the KKC, which meetsat the elementary school in themorning and afternoon, or at theChild Development Center.

For those interested in donating,clip the Box Tops for Education la-bel off General Mills products andclip the front label off the Campbell’sproducts.

Some of the Campbell’s qualifyingproducts are Pepperidge Farm,Swanson, Market Day, V8, Prego,Pace and Campbell’s Soup. Five ex-tra bonus points are earned for Soupat Hand and Campbell’s Ready toServe, and V8 Splash earns 10 ex-tra bonus points.

AWOL will meet with members ofthe EHS program to determine thisyear’s students needs, said Tiffany.

The donation of the education ma-terial to the EHS will be sometimearound May of 2004.


Momilani Masuda, of Surfway, checks out how many labels and box tops have beendonated for the Ebeye Head Start program. The donated labels and box tops will beused to purchase educational materials.
