Before the end of the year, ev-eryone flying between Kwajaleinand Roi-Namur will have both anaisle and window seat. And, yes,there will still be room for divegear or golf clubs for a weekendrecreational visit.

Negotiations to lease three1900D aircraft to replace theDash-7 fleet are in the finalstages, according to SkipMacQueen, Aviation Services

Resident Cindy Stephens had neverattended a town hall meeting onKwajalein, and she�d never met Col.Curtis L. Wrenn Jr., USAKA/KMRcommander. But that changedWednesday night when she sat in apacked CRC Room 6 and watchedthe new colonel visit with the Kwajcommunity during his first town hall.

�I was impressed,� Stephens saidafterwards. �I think he�s going to tryto understand the issues and dosomething about them.�

Cable television with high qualityInternet service and new post officeimprovements highlighted the 2 hourand 15 minute meeting. The YokweYuk Club figured heavily in the dis-cussion, as well.

More than 400 people attendedthe meeting, sitting and standing inthe room and on the stage.

Wrenn opened the meeting �on apositive note,� presenting comman-der�s coins to Dianne Morris, for herset-up work for the change of com-mand and various other projectsincluding the town hall meeting; thiswriter and Peter Rejcek for recentrecognition from the Pentagon forthe Hourglass; and Dave Burris, JohnBrown and Jerry Leverett for theirwork following the Aug. 20 stormthat damaged a number of build-ings, knocked out 25 trees and de-stroyed the traditional structures atthe Marshallese Cultural Center.

The Kwajalein Hourglass

The Hourglass is named for the insigniaof the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, whichliberated the island from the forces of Impe-rial Japan on Feb 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorizedpublication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their familiesassigned to USAKA/KMR. Contents of theHourglass are not necessarily official viewsof, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, De-partment of Defense, Department of the Armyor USAKA/KMR. It is published Tuesdaysand Fridays using a network printer byRaytheon Range Systems Engineering edito-rial staff, P.O.

It seems that I have a tendency tobring up a subject out of the blue orwith no warning, according to Peter(the Gecko�s friend) and other malefriends.

�You seem to be having a conversa-tion in your head, and then all of asudden you start vocalizing,� Petersaid, while looking at me as if I hadlobsters coming out of my ears.

Inner monologue: �This is the stuffmiscommunication is made of. I won-der if this is a male versus femalecommunication issue. After observ-ing the way men introduce a newsubject into their conversations, Itried a different tactic. I added, �That[blank] reminds me of [blank],� be-fore launching into a new topic oridea. This tactic did away with the�lobsters-out-of-my-ears� stare.

Many books have been writtenabout verbal communication, or lackthereof, between the sexes. Amongthe Men are from Mars, Women arefrom Venus-type books probably liesa solution to the problem. But I wascurious if inter-gender discussionswere different on Kwaj than in otherparts of the world.

The problem is more than just aninability to successfully talk to an-other human being. Among Kwaj

singles, it may be one of the reasonsbehind the complaint that there areno people to date. If you can�t com-municate, how can you ask someoneout to a movie? For that matter, howwill they know you asked?

I decided to conduct an indepen-dent survey to find out how exten-sive this problem is on Kwaj. First, Iam required to disclose the methodsused for the survey. Sounds prettyscientific doesn�t it?

Official survey methods: Actually,one of the great things about con-ducting an independent survey isthat no one else is financing, dictat-ing rules or requiring proof. So withthat understood, this is how thesurvey was conducted.

The question asked: �What both-ers you the most about the way theopposite sex communicates?�

The number of people polled: Ap-proximately 30 and about the samenumbers of men and women bothmarried and single. The random se-lection process was based on if I raninto someone in the Café Pacific orwith my blue Huffy before the col-umn was due.

Their responses: The responses Ilist are really the actual responses(although similar answers were com-bined) without any prompting fromme.

The conclusions: Purely subjec-tive, but this is my column.

Now for the survey:A woman summed up one of the

more common female responses, �Ifhe plans something, even if it is justwearing a certain shirt, and I sug-gest another choice, he takes of-fense. Then he won�t even discussthe original plan he had.�

Men thought women took offensetoo. One comment was, �Every time Imention something about anotherperson, my wife seems to get defen-

sive. For example, I was talking abouthow fat a friend was, for some reason,she thought I was talking about her.�

Conclusion: Both genders take of-fense easily, for no apparent reasonto the speakers.

Quite a few males answered thesurvey question with, �What commu-nication?� while quite a few womensaid; �Men don�t communicate.�

Additional comments about thelack of communication included:�Women don�t talk about things andthen everything blows up.� One mandid explain that communicating withfriends of the opposite sex wasn�t aproblem.

Women said, �They sulk,� whileone female indicated that part of thenon-communication results from ahearing deficiency, �Men only hearwhat they want to hear. They haveselective hearing, especially whenwatching TV.�

Conclusion: Whether single ormarried, male or female, the basicproblem seems to be that no oneactually communicates anything.

In addition to responding directlyto the question, participants volun-teered information about how welltheir gender communicates. The fol-lowing is combined from differentsurvey participants. See if you candetermine which gender said what.

One side said, �[We] use aneconomy of words. [We] say what wewant to say and are done. [They] liketo talk around things and expect usto get it and are mad when we don�t.We�re not mind readers.�

The other side said, �[We] like tobounce ideas off of other people.[They] think we�re arguing or statingsomething when we�re just discuss-ing ideas. [They] don�t like to hear anidea different than their own.�

Conclusion: We all think we�re com-municating exactly what we want tocommunicate to the detriment ofactual communication.

Final conclusion: Kwaj may or maynot be unique. But until I get somefunding to pursue this line of ques-tioning � maybe even work up somemetrics � I believe I�ve communi-cated more than enough about thissubject.

Rogue. Paul Moseley is the son oflocal resident Elliot Moseley.

USAKA/KMR officials contactedthe Sea Rogue on behalf of IroijMichael Kabua, traditional leaderof the Marshallese Cultural Cen-ter, and requested that the shipbring back wood from the joñ treeto help rebuild the five structuresthat were knocked down.

�Can you get me a boat to go toNamu to get wood for the huts?� IroijMichael Kabua, traditional leader ofthe Marshallese Cultural Center,asked Maryanne Lane, USAKA/KMRRMI relations specialist.

Lane said she told Kabua thatshe knew of a boat at Lib andasked if they could help. Kabuasaid that he would contact hispeople on Lib Island with instruc-tions to bring back wood from thejoñ tree to help rebuild the fivestructures that were knockeddown. USAKA/KMR resident TomLane also contacted the Sea Rogueon behalf of Kabua, to make surethe Lib islanders knew the woodwas to be loaded onto the ship.

The Moseleys and Skinner saidthey were happy to oblige.

�We just happened to be there,�Michelle Moseley said.

The call went out to the resi-dents of Lib when Paul Moseleyblew into a ram�s horn from theship and alerted them of the needback on Kwajalein. In just a fewhours, with the help of achainsaw, 10 tree trunks wereloaded onto Sea Rogue. Unfortu-nately, the voyage was not soquick. Light winds and the heavyload made the 30-mile voyage takemore than 24 hours.

The ship arrived at Kwajalein

early Saturday afternoon at theSmall Boat Marina. The 10 heavylogs were then transported to theMarshallese Cultural Center.

Lane said she hopes at least twoof the structures can be rebuilt forthe Manit Day celebration inOctober. Manit Day, traditionallyheld on the last Friday of Septem-ber, celebrates Marshallese culture.Lane said the plan is to host a dayof activities on Oct. 2 following aweek-long observance on Ebeye.

�It�s a big celebration,� Lane said.This will be the third time the

traditional structures, whichconsist of two cookhouses and twolonghouses, as well as a smallerbuilding, have been built. Theoriginal structures were relocatedto the turtle pond at the north endof the island because they werenot built in the traditional man-ner, according to Lane.

The third time may be the charm,as the Lib Island wood is a muchdenser and heavier material, accord-ing to Cris Lindborg, MarshalleseCultural Center director of exhibits.

�I really want to get them backup,� she said, adding that con-struction will be delayed untilother materials from the outerislands arrive, such as pandanasleaves for the thatched roofs andhomemade coconut rope.

Despite the destruction, handi-craft demonstrations are still beingheld every Monday, from 4 to 6p.m., according to Lindborg. And,in conjunction with the upcomingManit Day festivities, a handicraftcontest is being held. Entriesshould be submitted by Sept. 15at the Marshallese Cultural Cen-ter, the RMI office at Kwaj or toKabua at Ebeye.

mander gave a 15-minute statementon his goals and priorities.

�We have to run a world-class rangeand get a 20 percent reduction incost,� Wrenn said. �And I�m going toneed all of your support.�

With that, the commander outlinedhis priorities, listing the mission first.The recompetition for the logisticsand technical contracts came sec-ond, followed by quality of life.

�It behooves me and the contractorto maintain a stable workforce, andquality of life figures in to peoplestaying on Kwaj,� he said. �It�s morethan money.�

Finally, the commander focused onthe Compact of Free Association ne-gotiations and his �small part in that.�

Citing Army Performance Improve-ment Criteria, Wrenn said the com-mand must operate efficiently aswell as effectively.

The colonel then listed what heconsidered the �hot topics,� includ-ing price increases for golfers andboat lot owners and the new 1900Daircraft that will replace the Dash-7son Oct. 1. (See related story, page 1.)

After 15 minutes he cut himselfoff, opening the floor to the public,during which he announced a planto survey the community with re-gards to cable television and high-quality Internet access lines.

The plan, still in the works, wouldgive residents more channels andcabled lines for the Internet. Be-cause of decreasing base funds, how-ever, the move may come with somefees. A survey asking residents whatthey would be willing to pay for theincreased service will come out soon,Wrenn said.

Asked if the command would con-tract out the postal service, as ru-mored, Wrenn said it was set to bedone, but he decided instead to aug-ment the staff. Then he announcedthe package pick-up window will openon Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 1p.m. Meanwhile, renovations to en-close the mailbox lobby and replacemailboxes are scheduled to begin in60 days. Though the post office stillwill not take checks, because officialshave no mechanism to recoup

bounced check lossesfrom civilians, the of-fice will soon takecredit cards.

But much of the fo-cus centered on criti-cism of the Yokwe YukClub and Gilligan�s.Some residents ar-gued that recentchanges have resultedin diminished foodquality, poor serviceand higher prices.

The colonel said hehad set a Jan. 1 dead-line to determine if theclub would stay open,but has since backedoff from that timetable, to further examine the issueand ask the public what they want.

Wrenn added the club receives$300,000 to $500,000 a year in Armysubsidies to offset losses.

�We have to determine, �What�s thethreshold of pain? What are we will-ing to pay to subsidize it?�� he said.�Ifyou still want to be able to get aprime rib dinner once a month, orwhatever, that�s fine, but when wehave to raise the golf fees or some-thing else, I�m going to come backwith, we have a limited amount offunds.�

Sodexho Marriott General Man-ager Paul King said the club hasundergone serious changes recentlyto address eight years of financiallosses. In the meantime, the changeshave significantly impacted the staff,and any deficiencies should be re-ported to the management presentat the club.

�All are working diligently to pro-vide a good meal and good service,�he said.

He added a gourmet night, set forSept. 17, will offer residents a chanceto enjoy fine dining at the club.

Some residents objected to the $45-a-plate price tag, but Wrenn de-fended the plan, adding gourmetmeals are not cheap.

�They have an outstanding chef,and if you give him the chance, hewill cook a fine meal,� Wrenn said.

Other topics included:

Housing allocationsUSAKA/KMR lost $18 million in

funding for renovations to the Pa-cific BQ. Wrenn will travel to Wash-ington, D.C., in September and meetwith Congressional delegations totry to gain some additional fundingfor the base.AMC reliability

Angered by recent flight delays andcancellations, residents argued foraction with Air Mobility Command.

Wrenn said on his September triphe has an appointment with officialsat Hickam Air Force Base to discussthe situation.Who pays for rec services?

Given the price increases atHolmberg Fairways and boat lots,some residents said there was aninequity. The pool is free and tennisis free, but boating and golfing arenot. Some athletic teams travel toMajuro in annual games with Mar-shallese teams.

�Most communities have pools andparks, but I�ve never heard of a com-munity that offers free golf,� Wrennsaid. �As for the tennis team or bas-ketball teams going to Majuro, that�spart of our role with the host nationand we do things like exchanges tosupport that.�

Concluding the meeting, Wrennsaid, �I was told only 35 people at-tended these things. I�m impressed,and I appreciate everyone comingout. We owe you answers.�

Col. Curtis L. Wrenn Jr. talks with the community atWednesday night’s town hall meeting.


manager. The 19-passenger planescould hit the tarmac as early as lateSeptember and be operational inOctober under a best-case scenario,MacQueen said.

�There�s a lot of ifs there,� he said,noting that there is only a two-monthwindow of transition between whenthe decision was made in late Julyand the start-up date for operation.Lt. Gen. John Costello, SMDC com-manding general, approved the leaseof the two-engine Raytheon aircraftduring his last visit here for thechange of command ceremony.

As of last week, MacQueen saidnegotiations were still under-way between RSE, RaytheonAerospace and Raytheon Air-craft Corp. on the final details ofthe two-year contract. RAC willprovide three aircraft outfittedto specifications and RaytheonAerospace will be responsiblefor the logistics, such as train-ing, parts and maintenance.

�The most attractive part ofthe proposal was fixed cost perflight hour for material and forengine maintenance,� Mac-Queen said. �This reduces ourrisk for escalating material andmaintenance cost, one of theprime reasons for having to ter-minate the Dashes � They havebeen a very good airplane, but they�reeconomically burdensome and verydifficult to support.�

Maj. Matt Reed, USAKA/KMR gov-ernment flight representative, saidthe airplanes will meet the needs ofUSAKA/KMR while avoiding the es-calating costs of operating the Dash-7 airplanes over the next two years.He said officials estimate avoidingup to $9 million in costs by operatingthe 1900Ds rather than the Dash-7s. Those costs including everythingfrom materials to operation, man-power to turn-in costs associatedwith the Dash-7 planes.

For example, fuel costs alone willgo down dramatically, as much as$200,000 a year. Two 1900Ds doingthe same work as one Dash-7 useonly two-thirds as much fuel, ac-cording to MacQueen.

Added Reed, �There are real sav-ings, and people will see them.�

Besides the cost cuts, benefits topassengers include more reliable andflexible service once the 1900Ds arein full operation, according to Reed.

Two planes will be flown simulta-neously for peak needs, generallythe three-weekday morning and af-ternoon flights. During off-peaktimes, such as weekends or mid-day flights during the week, onlyone 1900D may be in operation.However, Reed said that the reli-ability and cost-efficiency of theplanes will likely allow for addi-tional flights to be added, particu-

larly on the weekends to supportrecreational activities.

�There has been a very concertedeffort to make the transition assmooth as possible,� he said. �I think[people will] be pleased with the air-craft.�

Reed conceded that fewer seatsmight mean that non-duty passen-gers may not be accommodated onthe flight of their choice.

The 1900D is seen as a key tran-sition aircraft for Kwajalein MissileRange as modernization movesmany of the Roi-Namur operationsto Kwaj, according to MacQueen.Specifically, fewer commutersmeans less need for plane seats,particularly the 50-passenger loadof the Dash-7.

�It meets the needs of moderniza-tion,� MacQueen said. �A decision

will be made whether we retain anyor all of the aircraft depending on themodernization of the range and ourfixed wing requirements as we enter[fiscal year 2003].�

The smaller aircraft are also at-tractive at this point because oflighter load requirements at certaintimes of the week, MacQueen ex-plained. MacQueen noted flying fivepeople on a 19-passenger airplane atoff-peak hours, such as the Wednes-day night run, is far more efficientthan flying them on a 50-passengerplane.

The 1900D is also quicker. Its Prattand Whitney engines cruise at 325

mph and can make the Kwaj-Roirun in less than 15 minutes.Also expect fewer fueling delays,as the 1900D is capable of mak-ing three trips around the atollwithout stopping at the gaspump.

�We�ll be operating at a fasterpace,� MacQueen said.

All three 1900Ds are only threeto four years old. Two had beenused in a commuter role, whilethe third has been lightly usedas an executive plane. One willbe outfitted with a restroom forlonger, overseas flights. There isroom for about 1,630 pounds ofcargo, as well, in each aircraft.

Aviation Services personnelhave already begun training for thetransition. Two pilots are currentlyat La Guardia Airport in training,with two more sets of two scheduledto receive training, MacQueen said.A training pilot will also be on islandfor two weeks. Maintenance person-nel are also undergoing training atthis time, MacQueen added.

One of the personnel adjustmentsanticipated with the transition is theloss of several part-time and twofull-time flight attendant positions.The FAA does not require airplaneswith fewer than 20 seats to haveflight attendants on board.

MacQueen said efforts are beingmade to find the flight attendantsnew jobs. �Our flight attendants havedone a wonderful job throughoutthe years, both serving and keepingour passengers safe.�

1900D expected to be in operation by October ...(From page 1)

The new 1900Ds will look like miniature Dash-7swith a new paint job. The three new 19-passengerplanes are expected to arrive on island in lateSeptember and be in operation by October.

Tompkins bowls 300game with new ballto set Kwaj recordBy Peter RejcekAssociate Editor

One new ball. One new record.John Tompkins unwrapped a

new bowling ball and used it forthe first time on Aug. 22 for astrike. Well, 12 of them in a row.That�s a perfect game of 300 �reputedly the first time such afeat has been accomplished atKwajalein.

�I like that ball,� he said of the16-pounder.

Bob Carter, friend and fellowbowler, who ordered the ball forTompkins, told him, �You�ll un-wrap it and bowl 300.�

A network engineer in Infor-mation Technology, Tompkinscompeted on the semi-pro levelstateside. Last month�s perfectgame was the 15th of his career.

�That�s a milestone for me,� hesaid. �It just happened.�

And it almost happened againWednesday night, when Tomp-kins attempted perfection for asecond time in just over a week.He bowled a 299 game.

In March, Tompkins set an-other local record when he bowledan 803 series in the Friday NightMixed League. That was hiseighth time to hit the 800s. Un-fortunately, the Aug. 22 series of635 didn�t come close to thatrecord.

�We don�t talk about the rest ofthe series,� said Tompkins with asheepish grin.

High in the Andes, the QuichuaIndian people in Miraflores, Ecuador,have struggled for years to bring po-table water, by hand, to their fami-lies. Despite no money and the diffi-culty of bringing water up more than11,500 feet, fresh water flows fromspigots near theirhomes today, aswell as in manyEcuadorian com-munities, thanksto the efforts ofCherith Rydbeckand her hus-band, Bruce.

Since her ar-rival here lastSunday, Ryd-beck has spokento various peopleand organiza-tions about Ec-uador, her lifeand missionwork there.

Twenty years ago, Rydbeck, ateacher, and Bruce, a civil engineer,left Boston to join the nondenomina-tional HCJB World Radio, HealthCare Division, in Ecuador. CherithRydbeck has worked, ministeringthrough health and hygiene classes,counseling and Bible studies, whileBruce Rydbeck has directed waterand hospital projects.

�We have a very holistic view. Jesusreally cared for the physical needs ofthe people. You can�t minister to

spiritual needs without addressingthe physical needs,� Rydbeck said.

Rydbeck�s visit will culminate thisweekend in Majuro, where she is thefeatured speaker for the ChristianWomen�s Fellowship retreat.

The topic of her speech is, �How toreally love your neighbor in spite ofcultural differences.�

To really loveyour neighbordoesn�t mean do-ing everything forthem, Rydbecksaid. To illustrateher point, she de-scribed how freshwater is broughtto a communityhigh up in themountains.

�A communitycomes and asksfor our help.Bruce does an ini-tial study to see ifit is feasible, and

then he asks them to start praying,�Rydbeck said. �He tells them thatneither he nor they have the money,and they need to pray for God toprovide somehow. It�s amazing, butthe money does get donated.

�Each family has to give six monthslabor, hand-digging ditches three feetdeep for [up to] 12 miles ... The impor-tant part is ownership. The peopletake ownership in the project from thebeginning. Since they own it, theycontinue to maintain it after the su-pervisory workers leave,� she said.
