Rudy Gil understands the power ofeducation.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Gilgot his BS in civil engineering from theUniversity of Puerto Rico in 1979. After astint as a safety engineer in the privatesector, Gil furthered his education afterjoining the Army Material CommandSchool of Engineering and Logistics.

Since then, his career has taken him fromthe Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., toSMDC and finally to USAKA at Kwajalein.During Friday�s tribute to Hispanic HeritageMonth at the Yokwe Yuk Club, Gil empha-sized the importance of culture whilelooking ahead into the next century.

�We have to stop seeing our differencesas roadblocks,� said Gil, the luncheon�skeynote speaker. He said the theme of this

The words �ahead of schedule andunder budget� are rarely heard at theend of most projects. But 1st Platoon,Alpha Company, 84th Engineer Battal-ion, along with on-island help, managedto build an office building for opticspersonnel a month ahead of time andwithout going over budget.

�The SR-1 office building allows us,for the first time, to bring people togetherfrom four separate locations [so that]optical coverage of many of our trackingmissions can be handled under oneroof,� said Col. Curtis L. Wrenn Jr.during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at thenew Super RADOT site Friday after-noon.

Starting with a pre-constructed slab,the platoon, or Rough Riders, finishedthe 3,200-square-foot building within 56days, cutting 34 days off the schedule,

Editorial

I looked forward with more than passinginterest to receiving the Food ServiceSurvey. This, after all, would be a chanceto pin down what people think (and want)beyond the fact that they are largelydissatisfied.

As I looked through the survey, I real-ized, among other problems, it would notbe able to evaluate why people don�t go toa particular location, because the de-tailed items were limited to the threeplaces you most often patronize. In time,however, my disappointment with thesurvey itself was replaced by disappoint-ment that a survey was needed at all.

I am not sure how useful it is to knowthat food quality at the snack bar gets a6.5 as compared to a 7.1 at the bakery. Isuppose surveys meet the expectation ofhow to �empower� people and give theimpression of potential progress. In thiscase, I don�t think it takes a lot of numbersto figure out what�s wrong.

Everyone I have ever talked to wantsdecent food, at a decent price, servedwithin a reasonable amount of time. Ifprofessional food service managementcan�t figure out where and how they arefalling short, a survey won�t help them.

Getting back onthe road again

These days fewer Americans arepacking their bags, boarding airplanesand heading overseas on vacation, oreven on business.

Some are rightfully nervous in light ofthe events of the last month. Otherssimply just don�t have the heart to travelin the face of the national tragedy thathas occurred. Our own travel office hasreported more people are cancellingtrips than booking them.

But, as President George W. Bushurged, we must return to business. Andthat also means getting back on theroad again.

Safety is an obvious factor in this newera of terrorism. The U.S. State Depart-ment is on top of the situation, issuingperiodic advisories, particularly in thewake of America�s retaliatory strikesagainst Afghanistan. Still, we shouldn�tallow ourselves to become paranoid.

One travel newsletter quoted an In-dian national about how safe it was forAmericans to travel to India in light ofthe terrorist attacks. His response: �Itis safer for an American to be in Indiatoday than it was yesterday.� Whilesome countries are obviously antago-

nistic toward Americans, the vast ma-jority are reaching out with overwhelm-ing sympathy and generosity.

Again, the World Trade Center attackwasn�t a strike against America, butthe world.

Besides monitoring the U.S. StateDepartment Web site (www.travel.state.gov), travelers can keep abreast of thelatest developments with a variety ofWeb sites. For example, expedia.comhas a page with the latest informationregarding travel disruptions, such asthe new FAA limit on carry-on luggageand a city-by-city list of what touristsites are closed or restricted since theSept. 11 attacks.

Travel wisely, travel safely � butkeep traveling.

Coming Soon: Community Activities prepares to replace alltheater sound systems before year�s end

By Peter RejcekAssociate Editor

Just in time for the holiday sea-son, Community Activities is readyto replace the sound systems at allthree of its movie theaters onKwajalein and Roi-Namur.

About 90 percent of the equip-ment is already on island and inhand, while a few vital compo-nents, such as speaker cable, arehopefully awaiting to be unloadedfrom the latest barge, according toSteve Snider, Community Activi-ties acting manager.

Snider said the $25,000 projectshould be completed in the nextcouple of months. First up is theYokwe Yuk Theater, which Snidersaid will be a testbed for the newequipment. Besides 10 new speak-ers, the theater will be outfittedwith two amplifiers and twosubwoofers for a deep, rich bass,Snider said, adding that thetheater�s schedule should not beaffected by the changeover.

The Richardson Theater is get-ting 12 new speakers, which will bemounted on posts throughout theaudience area, rather than at thefront of the theater as they arenow. A total of 14 speakers areslated for the Tradewinds The-ater on Roi.

Super RADOT project finished ahead of schedule, under budget ...(From page 1)

Snider said the speakers at theRich and Tradewinds are similarexcept in size. They are the samespeakers used at marine parks, sothey�re used to the wet weather,Snider explained.

�Hopefully, they�ll stand up toour elements here,� he said. Addi-tionally, the new cables will be pro-tected by conduit; the cables at theRich stretch overhead from theprojector�s booth to the speakersat the front of the theater, and areprobably corroded, contributingto the poor sound quality.

The Rich may have to be shutdown while the new system is in-stalled, Snider said, because of thework involved in setting up the postsand wiring the system together.

�We want to make sure we do itright,� he said.

Audiences will definitely hear adifference, Snider said, especiallyafter the projectors are reconfigu-red. Apparently, one of the otherbig problems with sound quality isthat each projector was built withan internal amplifier, which causesdistortion when it comes throughthe speakers. Thanks to off-islandconsultations, that problem shouldbe fixed, according to Snider.

�It should be a nice clear signalcoming out of the projector and

into the speakers,� he said. �It willbe clear, loud and it will certainlybe a big difference.�

Another advantage of the newsound systems is that all three willbe compatible with any futureupgrades to the theaters, whetherthat�s 35 mm, digital or whateverthe wave of the future is.

�There are a few options on thetable,� Snider said, adding that16mm film will probably be phasedout in the next decade.A scary schedule

Of course the other big newsthis month at Community Activi-ties is Halloween. A host of eventsare planned, including:

�The �internationally famous�shaving cream social at the familypool on Oct. 26 at 5 p.m.

�A high school dance at the MPRoom Oct. 27, from 7:30 to 11p.m., for kids in grades seventhrough 12.

�The fashion conscious will besure to attend the Oct. 29 costumecontest, beginning at 4 p.m.

�And the finale, of course, trick-or-treat, Oct. 31, from 6:30 to 8:30p.m. in the housing area.

Snider said a few other eventsare planned including specialHalloween movies at the theatersover the Oct. 27-29 weekend.

And just around the cornerThe holiday season gets under-

way Dec. 1 with the annual Christ-mas parade and tree-lighting cer-emony. Santa Claus and the missisare scheduled to make a secondappearance Dec. 3 at the YokweYuk Club to take gift orders.

The holiday tempo changes inthe middle of the month when theband King Konga entertains Kwa-jalein Dec. 15 at Emon Beach andDec. 16 at Gilligan�s.

And in 2002, the entertainmentkeeps rolling in (events and timesare tentative):

�The Washington Redskinscheerleaders come Jan. 18-22.

�The band Fighting Gravity, anup-and-coming music group, are ago from Feb. 1-4.

�Also pencil in classical pianistRoman Rudynytsky for February,along with a rhythm and bluesband.

�In March, the music continueswith California Girls, an all-girl surf-pop-rock band. Later in the month,Bravo, a Shakespearean group,brings theater to Kwaj.

�April is for country and west-ern fans.

�Finally, need a break from allthis? The Comedy Break shouldbe here in May or June.

said 2nd Lt. Reyn Landreth, officer in charge.�With a success story like this � we couldn�t

have done it without help,� Landreth said.Giving credit to her �29 high-speed soldiers,�Landreth then thanked Raytheon and USAKApersonnel individually for their support andthe additional training the platoon receivedwhile on Kwajalein.

Noting that this was the first troop project ineight years to be completed so quickly, Wrennsaid, �There was zero incentive for them towork six days a week, 12 hours a day. Theycould have [dragged] this project out, spentsome time on the beach, because by finishingearly, all it means is they are going home earlyand they are going to do some more work.�

Doug Vander Veen, RSE project manager,attributed the swift completion to the soldiers�

expertise and willingness to learn, along withcoordination and communication before andduring construction.

�I don�t have enough good things to sayabout [the Rough Riders],� said Vander Veen,who spent some time in Honolulu with theplatoon before the project started. �Theylearned what they were going to do before theygot here.�

Kainalu �Kai� Kalahiki, a project construc-tion consultant for Raytheon, said, �In pastprojects, [the platoons] did the majority of thework, and then they leave the finishing up to us.They did everything right to the very end � Putthe furniture in, and it�s all ready.�

RSE Optics Instrumentation System man-ager Bob Carson said, �This is quite a sur-prise; it is more than a month ahead of sched-ule. As far as I know � we�re on the verge of

walking in and taking it over.�All the Rough Riders received citations and

seven received commander�s coins fromWrenn for exemplary work. Spc. WilliamLucas, for example, received a citation thatread he �personally laid an average of 75blocks per day. Desired amount of block laiddaily for the entire platoon was 150.�

�[Spc. Jason] Pritchard here was helping mealong the way,� Lucas said after the ceremony.�He was the one who was laying down themortar, and then I would place the [block] andlevel it off. Unfortunately, I got the certificate, butI�m sure he�ll get something when we get back.�

Just before the ribbon-cutting, Carson re-ceived chuckles from the audience when hesaid, �I�m afraid to let you go inside because Iknow you�re probably going to want to steal thebuilding and turn it into something else.�

Twenty-eight fifth- and sixth-gradersare trained and ready to start makingthe streets around school safer tomor-row. A new elementary school SafetyPatrol Team will serve as crossingguards on streets near the school dur-ing the times before school, at lunchand after school.

Every day before and after school,crossing guards will be stationed by theschool office on 4th Street and betweenthe school and the CDC on 3rd Street,and other team members will patrol theplayground. At lunchtime, the Safety Pa-trol will be at 4th and Lagoon, 3rd andLagoon, behind the school and on theplayground.

�We want to make sure that the commu-nity is aware that they are there to provideextra safety,� said Masina McCollum,computer teacher at the elementary schooland program organizer. At the LagoonRoad crossings during lunch, KwajaleinPolice Department officers will be withthe students as well, McCollum said.

�During lunch there�s a lot of traffic,�

By Barbara JohnsonFeature Writer

On her way to the millennium New Year�sEve celebration at the Yuk Club, Carol Adlerwas riding her bicycle down Lagoon Road atnight.

Suddenly, �My bike was airborne,� she said.�I skidded on the gravel on my right side, andended up in somebody�s yard.� Adler said sheended up with gravel imbedded in her arm andknees and was pretty shaken up.

Apparently the rain the night before hadwashed a recent patch out of the road and hadleft a pothole at least six inches deep, Adlersaid.

�I was fortunate,� she said. �I was mainlybanged up and shook up and scared.�

Adler said several people at the scene men-tioned having seen the pothole earlier in the

day. She�s not sure if anyone reported it.�If it had been reported, then it could have

been marked,� she said, adding she has re-cently seen pandanus fruit and other hazardson the road. In fact, any hazard on the roadcould be difficult to see at night, even with aflashlight. Her advice to the community: �Ifyou see something like that, be sure to reportit.�

Although residents have a sense of safety onbikes at Kwajalein because of the slow speedsand relative lack of traffic, bicycle accidents dohappen, for a variety of reasons, said AmberMorse of RSE Safety. And many of them couldbe prevented.

�We see a fair number of scrapes, contu-sions as a result of bike accidents � even anoccasional fracture,� said Dr. Eric Lindborg,Kwajalein Hospital chief medical officer. �Theease and frequency of bike transportation atKwajalein should not hide the fact that bikescan cause injury, and there are real benefitsin maintaining vigilance to ride carefully andsafely. And drinking and riding are a danger-ous mix.�

Have you ever seen people on Kwaj or Roiriding bikes barefoot? with no hands on handle-bars? while walking a pet? while reading abook? carrying a large load or a person on thehandlebars? wearing headphones turned uploud? three or four abreast? holding on to avehicle? on the wrong side of the road? on adark road at night without a light? after havinga few too many drinks?

Most of these are �only on Kwaj� sights thatwouldn�t be seen stateside. All of them arehazardous, Morse said. Add to this the harshclimate, which takes its toll on bikes, and themix of commuters, children, heavy equipmentand exercise bicycles in the same area, and youhave an accident waiting to happen.

Because many children learn to ride bikesat Kwajalein, Morse said that Safety is trying towork with parents who are teaching childrenand remind them to practice on residentialside streets, after business hours, and not to letthem ride alone at a very young age. Also, topromote bicycle safety, the elementary schoolis beginning a Safety Patrol program this week(see related article on this page).

Almost 60,000 bicycle-related injuries arereported in the United States each year, andalmost 1,400 of these are fatalities, according toChief of Police Kevin Dykema. Statistically,most of these accidents happened because thecyclist didn�t ride safely, keep the bike in goodrepair, wasn�t seen by other road users or wasunder the influence of intoxicating agents, hesaid.

�Though on a smaller scale, these factorsremain true here on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur, where bicycle travel is our main meansof transportation. KPD asks our cyclists to ridedefensively. A bike is only as safe as the personriding it. Parents, teach your children to rideresponsibly. Managers, train your drivers tobe cognizant of bicycle traffic,� Dykema said,adding, �Include safety in all your activity plan-ning.�

Drivers of vehicles need to be aware ofbicyclists on the road as well.

Trudy Butler, who was in a bicycle accidentlast year, said, �[Cyclists] should never as-sume individuals driving vehicles are payingattention to where they are going. ... I, as acyclist, was obeying the rules of the road, andI was assuming the driver of the vehicle com-ing at me was as well, until the vehicle gotcloser and closer ...�

�Bicycles and autos are always an interestingmix,� said Don Wren, USAKA InstallationSafety officer. �We get too used to things, andeither disrespect hazards or � develop bad

habits.�Not yielding at intersections; double biking,

especially with children; riding three and fourabreast; assuming the right-of-way; and ignor-ing traffic signs are all unsafe biking practicesWren has observed. He also cites poor bicyclerepair as a safety factor.

�Brakes, axles, tires, all are important issuesfor repair,� he said, adding, bicycles shouldhave a complete periodic maintenance.

�What really is a Kwaj bike?� Wren asked.�When it wobbles, squeaks, has no brakes?How defective does it need to be? Would wedrive a �Kwaj car?� We are not willing to acceptrisk in one mode [cars], but are we in another[bikes]?�

To help promote bicycle safety, the Kwaja-lein Hospital Health Fair on Oct. 22 will offerbike registration and free bike tune-ups inconjunction with Kwajalein Safety AwarenessWeek.

month�s heritage celebration, �Paving theWay for Future Generations,� applies notjust to people of Hispanic descent, but to allpeople.

Hispanics are the fastest-growing segmentof the United States population, accordingto the U.S. Census. About 30 million peopleclaim Hispanic heritage � about one out often people. By the middle of this century,Hispanics are expected to account for about25 percent of the country�s total population.

And as that population grows, educationamong Hispanics is also making headway.The Census Bureau reported that by 1995,25 percent of Hispanics between the ages of18 and 21 were attending college.

�Education is power,� said Gil, a fatherwith two kids, Giselle, 17, and Rudy Jr., 14.

Friday�s program also included a dancingperformance by Debra Goodwin�s Spanishclass. Dancers James Corder, JeremyGideon, Spencer Mawhar, Patrick Casey,Naomi Coleman, Stephanie Winters,Windy Luis and Jackie Butler performed azortxzico, a dance from the Basque regionof Spain.

The performance further demonstratedthe mixture of cultures. Goodwin explainedthat the dance, whose name refers to theeight dancers, is performed to music withCeltic origins. The dance was choreo-graphed by Marta Geeslin.

A display in the Jobwa Room includedHispanic literature and biographies of 12well-known personages of Hispanic culture,

including physicist Luis Alvarez, musicianTito Puente and Louis Caldera, the 17thSecretary of the Army.

Initiated by the U.S. Congress as HispanicHeritage Week more than 20 years ago, thecelebration has grown and was expanded to

a month in 1989. It lasts from Sept. 15 to Oct.14. Sept. 15 is the independence day of CostaRica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras andNicaragua. Mexico�s independence day isSept. 16, and Chile recognizes its indepen-dence on Sept. 18.

would like the community to accept these patrol members and respondto them as well.

Ammann said that Safety Patrol members will visit classrooms andtalk about the program and safety issues.

Another way the community can help, Ammann said, is to avoidLagoon Road in vehicles during the few minutes the students aredismissed for lunch, between 11:30 a.m. and about 11:45 a.m.

Members of the Safety Patrol must have an A or B average, goodattendance, a recommendation from a teacher and parent permissionto participate. They all sign a Safety Patrol contract. The group will holdmeetings every two weeks and have a party once a month for goodpatrolling, McCollum said.

She surveyed teachers at the beginning of the year, and theteachers felt it would be a great experience for the students, givethem a sense of responsibility and add incentives for them to be safe,she said.

�It�s a great program. The kids are excited about it,� Morse said.�Maybe the children will begin to set the example for the community.�

she explained. �We�re still working the bugs out, seeing how it works.�Safety Patrol members will wear reflector belts and blue shirts, and

will have whistles and stop signs, McCollum said.Also tomorrow will be �Bike Safely to School Day� at the elementary

school to help kick off the Safety Patrol Program.All available parents are asked to bike to school with their

students Wednesday and help remind them of proper bikingtechniques. Students will receive a sheet with bike safety facts anda quiz.

McCollum, Amber Morse of RSE Safety and Sgt. Tom Daleke of theKwajalein Police Department are the team leaders for the program.

Last week patrol members observed the police at the intersection atlunchtime and walked around the school on their own, noting safetyissues before class.

�This is a great thing. The students will take responsibility for [bicyclesafety]. The school supports it and we hope the community does too,�said Karen Ammann, school superintendent. She said the school
