Thumbs Up!
... to ‘Life on a Boomerang’ for rocking at my
birthday party.
... to anyone involved in the return of my
watch, which I had no hope of recovering after it
dropped off the side of my kayak at an unknown
location somewhere in the world’s largest lagoon.
It seems impossible, but here it is back on my wrist.
... to those who signal while riding their bikes,
especially when I’m waiting to make a left-hand
turn and you are about to turn right onto the
same street.
Thumbs Down!
... to the person who stole a new pair of shoes
out of a bike basket at Emon Beach during the
Wednesday afternoon swim last week. You took
the shoes of our Catholic priest. Regardless of
who the items were taken from, I hope we are
better than that. Please return the shoes to the
door of the chapel offi ce, no questions asked.
... to the folks dumping trash and yard waste in
bags on the cul de sac off Palm Road.
... to the divers who don’t return tanks daily!
... to people who pass on the right when riding
their bicycle. It is dangerous and rude.

This is true. The Quality of Life committee voted to fund
entertainment for this year’s celebration. The Ugli Stick has
been writing and performing original music for 10 years and play
a diverse collection of music. You may remember when they last
played out here in July 2009. They are heading out here for a
series of fi ve performances on Kwajalein and Roi-Namur for the
4th of July. More details about the events will be announced in

Webelos invade Roi-Namur at campout
By Maj. Stephen Parrish Sr.
Webelos Den Leader
Over President’s Day weekend,
the Webelos den took
a trip up to Roi-Namur to
do a Scout campout, but it wasn’t
a typical Scout campout. For this
trip, moms and siblings were invited
to attend with the intent of
getting all the families together to
share time, food and a few adventures.
The Webelos den consists
of Zack Jones, Aiden Mitchell,
Joe and Gabe Parrish, and Aaron
Seelye. With families, we had a total
of 18 campers.
The boys did a lot of events
that will prepare them for transitioning
from Cub Scouts to Boy
Scouts this coming spring. They
fished, cooked meals, explored
historic sites, swam, hunted and
practiced first aid. The meals
were the usual mix of nutritious
foods, but also included the
camping staple – s’mores. The
boys and families enjoyed the relaxing
atmosphere of Roi as well
as the scenic beaches that line
the lagoon.
The campout was fun for the
boys and the families that attended.
It was really good to get
everyone together. The success of
the campout is always dependent
on participation and for this one

in particular, the support we received
from the members of the
Roi and Kwaj communities was
overwhelming. Special thanks to
Col. Joseph Gaines, Robbie Amador,
Oki Bennett, Roy Tomas,
Laura Pasquarella-Swain, April
Simon, Conrad Nakasone, Lt.
Daniel Gooch, Patrick Kobeney,
Chief Michael Phillip, Reece Fry,
Jon Mitchell, LeAnn Parker, the
Kwaj Lodge staff, and the many
others that assisted in this campout.
It was a success because of
you! We look forward to camping
there again.
This is Hank,
Sheila’s dog, who
she thinks is more
photogenic than
she is. Welcome to
Kwajalein, Hank.

Sheila Schlie recently moved to Kwajalein to fi ll the
position of staff action specialist for USAKA. This position
has been open for over a year now, so her work is
greatly appreciated. “The entire USAKA team welcomes
Sheila and her broad knowledge of human resources
to the island,” said Joseph Moscone, deputy to the
commander and her supervisor. She lived in White Sands
Missile Range in New Mexico when she decided to move
out here. Several things about Kwajalein appealed
to her including the idea of life next to the ocean and
Kwajalein’s small town community. Upon arrival on
Kwajalein, Schlie was most impressed by the ocean. She
says “I love the ocean. It is very calming.” She also is
grateful to get out of the traffi c in the states, but says that
she misses high speed internet.

Command Safety Council addresses community concerns
Article and photo by Ruth Quigley
USAKA/RTS Public Affairs Officer
Contractors, private organizations
and the government were
given a chance to voice safety
concerns Wednesday night at the
quarterly Command Safety Council
in the Headquarters conference
room.
U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll Commander
Col. Joseph Gaines has
emphasized safety during his
tenure here on Kwajalein and
this meeting was no exception.
He began the meeting by praising
efforts to keep workplace safety
at the forefront but issued a cautionary
message that recreational
safety should always be a top
concern for Kwajalein residents.
Theresa “Tweety” Holbrook from
the Small Boat Marina brought
one of the new locator beacons
to demonstrate. The small neon
green device is designed to send a
signal to the Coast Guard in Hawaii
who then can track which
boat is in distress and call the
Small Boat Marina with an approximate
location. The signaling
devices were tested last month
and a call from the Coast Guard
was received within four minutes
of the beacon being activated.
The Small Boat Marina has
started to integrate training on the
use of these devices into its boat
operator classes. A small number
of locator beacons are also available
for use by private boaters on
a space available basis.
The upcoming Rustman Triathlon
in April brought up the topic of
recent changes to the traffi c code,
specifi cally the prohibition against
wearing headphones while riding
a bicycle. Gaines asked Kwajalein
Police Department to step up enforcement
efforts around the airfi
eld and Kwajalein Running Club
is asking all residents to be more
aware of increased training traffi c
around the airfi eld loop during the
next few months.
Kwajalein Range Services, KPD,
the Weather Station and other
contractors operating on Kwajalein
and Roi-Namur were at the
meeting to brief the commander
about work-related safety and to
answer questions as needed. Oth-
er private organizations, including
Kwajalein Scuba Club, Kwajalein
Atoll International Sport
fi shing Club and Surf Club, attended
the meeting.
Gaines concluded the meeting
by asking private organizations
to continue current safety efforts.
He also invited all club leaders
and concerned residents to attend
future safety councils and to
use the forum as a means to bring
safety concerns to the attention of
the command.
Contractors, private organizations and community members discussed safety at USAKA at
the quarterly Command Safety Council Wednesday night.

Help keep our
shorelines intact
USAKA-leased islands at Kwajalein
Atoll have several miles of
shoreline that are both protected
naturally with vegetation or with
man-made barriers (rip-rap). The
shoreline areas provide habitat
for birds, crabs and turtle nesting.
Threats to the shoreline areas
include run-off from on-island
activities, spills from aquatic
releases and erosion from wave
action or construction activities.
Vegetation along the shoreline
provides soil stability and it prevents
erosion due to wind, rain,
and wave activity. Plants also
absorb water and nutrients that
would otherwise run off into the
ocean and lagoon.
Before engaging in any activities
(work-related or self-help
projects) with the potential to effect
areas within 50 feet of the
shoreline, (such as facility demolition,
construction, modifi cation,
vegetation removal or any
other major undertaking) please
contact KRS Environmental at
51134 for approval.
Thumbs Up!
To the Kwajalein Golf
Association members who
helped with the Clean-up
Day Monday morning.
They scrubbed and
painted the entire
facility, power-washed
all the coolers and the
fl oor inside, and organized
all the cabinets. A job well done!

DISPATCH FROM ROI

Think about it: Clean hands save lives
By Tammy Wolf
Registered Nurse, Kwajalein Hospital
Flu season is fi nally here. According to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this
winter’s fl u season is the latest to begin since
1987-1988. Keeping hands clean is one of the
most important steps we can take to avoid getting
sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases
and conditions are spread by not washing hands
with soap and clean, running water.
Hand sanitizers in the form of gels, lotions and
foams have become widely available. While popular
and convenient, the research remains unclear
on the most effective way to clean your hands.
If hands are visibly soiled, use soap and water.
If soap and water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based
hand sanitizer that contains at least
60 percent alcohol to clean hands. Alcohol-based
hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of
germs on hands in some situations, but sanitizers
do not eliminate all types of germs. Remember,
hand sanitizers are not effective when hands are
visibly dirty.
How do you use hand sanitizers?
• Apply the product to the palm of one hand.
• Rub your hands together.
• Rub the product over all surfaces of your
hands and fi ngers until completely dry.
When should you wash your hands?
• Before, during and after preparing food
• Before eating food
• Before and after caring for someone who is
sick
• Before and after treating a cut or wound
• After using the toilet
• After changing diapers or cleaning up a child
who has used the toilet
• After blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing
• After touching an animal or animal waste
• After touching garbage
What is the right way to wash your hands?
• Wet your hands with clean, running water
(warm or cold) and apply enough soap to coat your
palm. Using hot water can injure your skin.
• Rub your hands together to make a good
lather and scrub them well; be sure to scrub the
backs of your hands, between your fi ngers, inside
your palms and under your nails. If you wear rings
or bracelets, wash them as well.
• Continue rubbing your hands for at least 20
seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday”
song from beginning to end twice.
• Rinse your hands well under running water.
• Dry your hands completely using a clean
towel or air dry them.
