Complicated martial arts moves or road constructiontechnical terms? No, that�s the future scene at the pro-posed Kwajalein Skate Park.

By Peter RejcekUnofficially, call it the

longest bar in the Re-public of the MarshallIslands.

At 56 feet long, the barat the Yokwe Yuk Club ismore than double itsoriginal length of 21 feet.That not only meansmore elbow rooms forpatrons, but a quickerturnaround for beingserved.

�It�s going to increasethe speed of the service,�said Malcolm Gowans,Yokwe Yuk Club barmanager.

With only two weeksleft before its grand re-opening, the Yokwe Yukbar more resembles theReef BQ constructionsite across the streetthan the island�s onlyindoor watering hole ofold. Bar light fixtureshang from the ceiling likebroken slinkees with nospring left. Reuphol-stered booth benchesstill need trimming ofexcess material. And allthat new bar square foot-age remains naked,awaiting a countertop.

On July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies de-clared their independence. The first patriots, withdiverse backgrounds, rep-resenting different regionsand interests, were unitedin their quest for freedomand their willingness to fightfor liberty.

Despite the considerablerisk of almost certain defeatat the hands of the greatestland and sea power of thatage, they ultimately tri-umphed, and a new, inde-pendent United States ofAmerica emerged.

At sea, on land and in theair, whether during peaceor war, the men and women of America�s ArmedForces have continued to ensure the sacrifices ofour forefathers and others who followed them were

Firefighters extinguish trailer fire

By Peter RejcekThanks in part to the quick actions

of a Kwajalein police officer, a trailerfire was quickly brought under con-trol by fire department personnelWednesday morning .

No one was injured in the blaze,which was confined to the back bed-room of Tr. 660, home to Ron �Bull�Hall and Matt Naut. The fire was inHall�s bedroom. Cause of the fire isstill under investigation, accordingto Kwajalein Fire Department assis-tant chief Jerry Leverett.

�After we made entry, we had ev-erything under control in two min-utes,� Leverett said.

The fire consumed half of a bedmattress, with the heat and smokecausing much of the damage in theroom. A television, stereo and com-puter equipment, among other items,were scarred black, melted and de-formed by the intense heat, as if theywere made of wax.

The damage might have been worseif not for the keen ears of Kwajalein

Police Department Officer BruceWhitcomb, who was driving downPacific Road when he heard thesmoke alarm around 8 a.m.

�You hear alarm clocks all the time,but I thought this was too loud to bean alarm clock,� he said.

While inspecting the trailer,Whitcomb noticed smoke coming outa door. He said he called 911 andbegan banging on all the doors andwindows to make sure no one wasinside. The fire department arrivedshortly after getting the call, whileWhitcomb set up a security line.

Leverett said the occupants of thetrailer were lucky that the bedroomdoor had been closed. In effect, thefire had smothered itself out be-cause of the lack of oxygen, he ex-plained.

�Because of that action, [Hall] mayhave saved the rest of the home fromfire,� Leverett added.

The smoldering fire was easily ex-tinguished by firefighters, who en-tered the residence through a doorfarthest from the source of the fire.

A damage estimate was not avail-able before press time.

But on July 15, beverages and bis-tro food will flow following a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by USAKA/KMRcommander Gary K. McMillen.Sodexho Marriott officials say thetransformation � in service andstructure � will be finished by then.

�It�s going to be fantastic,� ex-claimed Gowans during a tour of therenovations Wednesday morning.

The new bar, which now curves allthe way around to the gaming area inthe back, boasts three bartender sta-tions, replete with ice wells and sinks.Gowans explained that the old barwas too crowded with just one barstation, creating a bottleneck for cus-tomers and waitstaff.

�It wasn�t practical at all,� he said.�Everything is a lot better organized.�

Other renovations at the bar areainclude new ceiling tiles and FOM-fabricated ice wells. Along with thenew look, there will be a new registersystem that will allow waitstaff todeal more directly with customerswithout slowing down bartenderswith additional money transactions,according to Gowans. Again, the ideais to speed up service.

Comfort and ambiance are also

buzz words in the $60,000 renova-tion project. Furniture is being reup-holstered, and booths along the wallare being surrounded by a type ofportico, or a series of columns thatscreen each table for an added senseof privacy. New carpet has alreadybeen laid and the dance floor refur-bished. The stereo system is beingupgraded and rearranged for maxi-mum effect. Even the DJ booth isgetting a tweak.

�We have true stereo sound now,�Gowans said.

In the game room, currentlystripped bare, new vending machineswill be added, along with a tabletennis game. New equipment, includ-ing cue sticks and balls, has beenpurchased for the two pool tables,which will eventually be refurbishedwith new felt, as well.Dining differences

Next month promises not only barchanges but the end of traditionalrestaurant services at the Yokwe YukClub. The restaurant is scheduled toserve its last meal on July 9. Diningwill then be moved over to the barkitchen, where Executive Chef BobBaker has developed a diverse menu.

adillas compete for attention with�The Colonel�s� grilled chicken Cae-sar salad. Some of the menu itemsare accompanied by colorful descrip-tions, such as the Caesar salad:�You�ll stand and salute this per-fectly charbroiled breast of chicken...�

�I think the best part is that it�snew. It�s something different,� Bakersaid of the change in dining philoso-phy. �It will be a varied menu ... It�sgoing to be more casual.�

Food will be served from 5:30 p.m.to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Lunchwill be available from 11 a.m. to 1p.m. Thursday through Saturday.Wait service will be conducted on alimited basis in the evenings, par-ticularly on weekend nights, accord-ing to Paul King, Sodexho Marriottgeneral manager.

King said dining hours and waitservice could expand, depending onwhether or not there is a demand forit. Originally, wait service was to becompletely eliminated in an effort tosave money.

�We�re very flexible and it�s depen-dent on patronage,� King said of theproposal to have limited table ser-vice. �This whole concept is based onpatronage.�

According to Jewels Marhold,Sodexho Marriott catering director,the traditional restaurant is not com-pletely being put out of business. Atleast twice a month there will bespecial events, beginning in Septem-ber.

�We may have themed events orgourmet meals,� Marhold said, add-ing Sunday brunches are anotherpossibility. Again, patronage will de-termine whether or not such eventsare planned with more frequency.

Gowans said he is confident all ofthe changes will win over even themost skeptical customers.

�A lot of people are hard to please,�he admitted. �We�ll turn themaround.�

The band Pure Aloha is scheduledto perform at the grand reopening onJuly 15. DJ Rich Feagler will thentake over the festivities by spinningtunes into the wee hours of the morn-ing.


By Jim BennettThe Fourth of July should be a

blast, but not an unsafe blast, saysafety officials.

With the holiday sparking numer-ous barbecues and other get-togethers, on-island experts have of-fered a number of ideas on playing itsafe this weekend.Um, Um, good

For food safety, it all boils down tothree major rules, said food inspec-tor Pat Zurick:

1. Wash your hands before cook-ing and eating.

2. Keep hot foods hot, preferablygreater than 140 degrees Fahren-heit, and cold foods cold, below 41degrees Fahrenheit.

3. Sanitize all dishes and utensilswith bleach water.Water woes

The water and beach can be fun,but they can be dangerous too, ac-cording to Ian West, Pools andBeaches coordinator. West suggests:

1. If you are going to swim, bring abuddy and stay within the buoyedlifelines. Swimming, snorkeling anddiving are permitted outside theropes only when you have a buddyand are wearing a U.S. Coast Guardapproved personal flotation device.

2. If you�re planning on snorkeling,swimming or diving, remember youcannot do it in the skiing area. A boatwill be towing the big banana aroundand will hit you.

3. Playing on the jetty is prohibited.4. Launching or beaching of all

craft, except kayaks, paddleboardsand small inflatables with oars, is notallowed. Paddling outside the ropesrequires a buddy or shore watch, anda PFD must be available.

5. Don�t throw sand and rocks.6. Pick garbage up and throw it in

the trashcans.7. If you plan on bringing music to

the beach, keep the volume at a rea-sonable level so as not to interferewith other people and lifeguard com-munications.

8. Don�t carry beverages into thewater or bring any glass containerson to the beach. Broken glass + barefeet = Bad Beach Day.

9. Lifeguards have the authority to

ask any patron not complying with thebeach rules to leave. Furthermore,the lifeguard has final authority re-garding any unsafe beach conditions.

10. Parents should watch their smallchildren. The waves at Emon Beachcan get high at times, and young chil-dren underestimate them. The life-guards at Emon Beach are there forsafety, but they are not baby sitters.Road rash

Many folks will be out on EmonBeach Tuesday, adding fun and ex-citement, as well as the potential foraccidents. Kwajalein Police will stepup patrols in the area, according toCapt. Tony Gibson, deputy chief.

Likewise, police are asking resi-dents to:

1. Use a flashlight after dark. Youmight be able to see, but others maynot see you.

2. Don�t drink and drive. The rulestands for bicycles, too.

3. Keep personal items in view orlocked up, including bicycles.

4. Don�t ride your bicycle alongEmon Beach road. It�s closed on theFourth. Park in the designated areas.

Remember safety first on Fourth of July weekend

Hot timesMany folks use the holiday as an

excuse to barbecue, and why not?Fire Department Deputy Chief

Jerry Leverett says safety starts withstorage. Keep your lighter fluid in awell-ventilated place.

When setting up the grill, watch fornearby overhangs and tripping hazards.

Watch the amount of lighter fluidyou use, and light it with long-stemmatches. Also, use long-handledutensils when cooking.

Finally, give briquets 24 hours tocool down before throwing them out.Taking care

In addition to the above ideas,Dawn Clyde at RSE Safety suggestedresidents be sure to drink plenty ofwater so you don�t get dehydrated,and if you�re going to be playingsports, such as beach volleyball,stretch out first.

The Safety Office will have a boothfrom 2 to 5 p.m. at the Fourth of Julybash, and residents are invited tostop by and visit.

For more information on making yourholiday safer, call Clyde at 51503.

Hundreds ofresidents areexpected togather at EmonBeach Tuesday toenjoy the Fourthof July holiday.Large crowds addexcitement andfun, but also thepotential foraccidents. Localexperts haveideas aboutkeeping theholiday safe.

Todd Seitz, USAKA/KMR CommunityServices Division Retail Operationsspecialist. TrueRide Inc., from Duluth,Minn., provided the plans and isscheduled to install the equipmentin September on the corner of EighthStreet and Ocean Road, Seitz said.

�Some people think that it�s not alot of equipment, but it�s more thanenough,� said aggressive rollerbladeskater Kye Ehart, 14, who has a copyof the plans on the wall over his bed.Ehart is leaving Kwajin a week to attend atwo-week rollerbladecamp in Pennsylvaniafor the second year.

The strange-soundingequipment allows skat-ers to perform aggres-sive skating, or skatingthat incorporatesjumps, flips, twists andgrinding. Grindingmeans sliding on any-thing with the sides orbetween the wheels ofthe roller-blade orskateboard, Ehart said.The beef-box, also calledfunbox, and the grind-rail are used for grind-ing. The quarter pipe,street spine and halfpipe are used for flips,turns and jumps, Ehart added.

Tanner Duncan, 15, who favors askateboard over rollerblades, agreedwith Ehart, �[The equipment] is morethan we asked for.�

It all started two years ago. Avidskaters Ehart, Duncan, Tyler Estesand Robbie Hamill were some of theteens who wrote Col. Gary K.McMillen, USAKA/KMR commander,requesting a skate park on Kwaja-lein. The letters were followed upwith a petition signed by 105 of theirclassmates and sent with anotherrequest letter from Ehart.

�We would like to build a skate parkhere on Kwaj similar to the one atHickam Air Force Base in Hawaii,�Ehart�s letter read. He promised con-struction support from the skatersand some of their parents. Ehart alsoaddressed the safety issue, �I know it

does not sound safe, but it is oursport, just like any other sport, andwe would be more than happy to wearour helmets and pads.�

McMillen responded to each letter-writer, indicating he had �continu-ally observed the use of makeshift,home-constructed ramps� and wasconcerned over the safety of the equip-ment. He acknowledged that the pro-liferation of the equipment aroundthe island prompted him to �take aserious look at providing this activity

in an organized and safe manner.�The interest in aggressive skating,

according to the skaters on Kwaj,was started by the television show X-Games. X-Games shows aggressivesports athletes, including roller-bladers and skateboarders.

�It�s a challenge. I try something,and then try something harder,�Ehart said. �I started skating six yearsago, then two years ago I saw the X-Games and wanted to do that.�

Duncan, entering the 10th grade,also watches X-Games. �I started[skateboarding] a year ago in Ger-many because my friends were doingit,� he said, adding that he is learn-ing to skateboard aggressively to getready for the skate park on Kwaj.

The park, to be run by CommunityActivities, will have set hours, rulesrequiring safety equipment and an

attendant, said Simone Smead, Com-munity Activities manager.

�It�s definitely coming. The kids wantit. Military bases all over have skateparks � we�re just keeping up withthe times. It�s something of their own,an extension of their backyard,�Smead added.

Gathered at the youth center nearEmon on Friday night, teens, wear-ing T-shirts touting skateboard androllerblade brand names, said theyhad no problem with wearing protec-

tive pads. They all knewthe park was being built,but thought that the lo-cation of the park wouldbe at Emon.

�The original locationwas by the youth centerat Emon,� Seitz said.

�There were two pri-mary concerns: One wasnoise. The other was thecost of putting down con-crete, fencing and lights,�he added. �At the chosenlocation, we already havelights, fencing and con-crete. A cap will be put onthe concrete to make itas smooth as possible.�

No matter where it willbe, skaters and non-skat-ers alike already haveplans for when the park

opens.�I�ll do my homework there and

then skate,� said James Paget, 14,indicating he plans to spend all hisfree time at the park. Ehart andDuncan agreed that they plan tospend a lot of time there, too. Non-skaters, and non-aggressive skat-ers, like Tracy Jones, 12, plan tospend a lot of time there, as well.Jones will be there with her girl-friends watching the skaters.

�I hope it�s open by Sept. 28th. Iwant to have my birthday partythere,� Jones said.

Surprisingly, none of the youngskaters were doing their thing lastFriday evening.

�We�re trying to keep from gettinghurt before the park opens,� Ehartsaid. �We�re still skating every day,but not as aggressively.�
