Despite the threat of an approaching rain-storm, a seven member team traveled by heli-copter to five outer islands Saturday morningin an effort to maintain safety and securityfor USAKA’s mission. Representatives fromSafety, Environmental, Utilities, Operations,Communications and the Generator Shop dida methodical search of the outer islands toverify that all facilities are in compliance withUSAKA regulations.

“We check the islands that have facilitieson them that support the missions,” saidBruce Tuttle, KRS Industrial Safety man-ager. “We go out and look at places wherepeople normally go for access to buildingsand trailers.”

Kwajalein Police and KRSSafety officials have examined thedetails surrounding the acciden-tal boating death of a 26-year-oldman earlier this month.

Jakie Mohang, of Ebeye, diedJuly 11, in a boat collision nearRoi-Namur.

Mohang leaves a wife, Retini, andthree children, Lloyd, 5; Helen, 2;and Simon, 2 months old.

Burial services were held onMajuro and a memorial servicewill be held on Kwajalein at a timeand date yet to be determined.

“We’re all deeply concerned andwe’re reviewing the procedures,but what a tragic loss,” saidCarmen Spencer, KRS president.

The off-duty deck hand, with theMarine Department’s Mystic, wasaboard the tug’s dinghy along withcrewmate Batirita “Paul” Tamaki,when the inflatable boat collidedwith a private boat driven by LisonRubon, a Marshallese K-badge

holder and Roi resident, accordingto KPD Lt. Damon Brown, Roi-Namur officer-in-charge.

Rubon was driving his fiber-glass runabout boat, with a 40hpYamaha engine along a well-trav-eled path across the lagoon, fol-lowing buoys to Roi’s YokohamaPier, Brown said. By 8:30 p.m.,the sun had gone down, but hedid not have running lights.

A rain squall moved through thearea with gusts from 25-26 knots.With light rain, seas swelling andlow visibility, the two men in thedinghy had tied off on a buoy toweather the waves. They had beenfishing before the waves kicked upand didn’t have running lights ei-ther, Brown said.

As the squall subsided, they leftthe buoy and headed east-south-east, according to the KRS acci-dent report.

That’s where the two boats col-lided.

I’ve seen this somewhere before.Oh yeah, I know. The British in Belfast

and Londonderry in Northern Ireland.The urban guerrilla tactics of the IRA of

a bomb here and an ambush there. Oneor two British soldiers killed a day. At theend of a year, that’s 300 or 400 men dead.

There is a British War Memorial atEdinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland.In it, there is a special section for British andScottish soldiers killed in Northern Ireland.

The British have tried to keep the peacein Northern Ireland for the last 50 years.They didn’t even have to rebuild an entirecountry or try to establish a new govern-ment. They just had to keep the peacebetween Catholics and Protestants, be-tween those loyal to Britain and thosewanting Irish independence. They’vecome close a few times, but no cigar. Allthe while, British soldiers kept gettingkilled.

The British were in the Middle East also.They were in between Jewish immigrantsfleeing Hitler and the Palestinians beforeand after WWII. before Israel became anation. They left wounded and bleedingafter trying for years to keep the peace.

How about the Israelis and the Pales-tinians? A small Israeli Army trying to keepthe peace and security over three and ahalf million people. How long has that beengoing on? Oh yeah, since 1948.

When I saw those images on TV andwatched movies or read about thesethings, I thought what a mess it all wasand how none of it would ever be solved.

Now we see the images of 150,000American soldiers caught in the same kindof crossfire trying to control a country ofmillions of people and what seems, at leastat the present time, a long term quagmireof lives lost and treasure spent.

I see our guys manning checkpoints,patrolling deadly streets and searchinghouses looking for weapons, explosivesor guerilla fighters who attack from am-bush. It all looks so familiar but it’s alwaysbeen Israelis and Palestinians. I seeAmerican soldiers dying in that part of theworld where British, Israelis, Palestiniansand other Arabs have died before them.Can America succeed where others havefailed?

Americans soldiers want to help people.American soldiers have a long ,heroic andhonorable history as liberators and de-fenders of freedom. They are the best mili-tary in the world. They shouldn’t be set upas targets to be killed one or two at a timeand have to use police tactics to controlan impatient and angry civilian populace.They are being forced to do that in Iraq.

Some of them are now told they may bethere a year or more after already havingbeen there over six months or longer.

I hear some people say it’s an all-vol-unteer military and nobody forced thesemen and women to join up. As the sayinggoes, they knew the job was dangerouswhen they took it.

Some World War II veterans look attoday’s military as complainers. Why, theysay, they were gone from home for yearsand fought the biggest war in history.

But they had a clear mission. DefeatNazi Germany and Japan and thereby lit-erally save the world.

Today’s military, as the military in the past,signed up to defend America. Whether be-ing in Iraq is defending America is open toindividual opinion. It’s without doubt thatwhat happens there is critical to our secu-rity.

Have we enhanced our security? Havewe struck a blow against terrorists? Havewe made friends in the Arab world or havewe just made more enemies? I supposehistory will provide the answer.

It’s easy to see that after 30 years offear and intimidation, Iraqis are not con-vinced that the terror of Saddam, his sonsand the whole vicious regime isn’t reallyover whether Americans or anybody elsesay it is. Hopefully, the recent deaths ofSaddam’s sons will go a long way in con-vincing Iraqis that while things aren’t rosyyet, the terror of Saddam is really finishedand it’s time to cooperate with Americansto rebuild their country and that Americansmean to make them safer.

Perhaps the deaths of these two thugswill result in less attacks on Americantroops. That’s the most important changethat could occur in the short term.

Our troops can only do so much. It’s theIraqis who will have to root out the remantsof Saddam’s rule, those who don’t wantpeace and an end to Iraq’s woes. In thefinal analysis, it’s the Iraqis who will haveto rebuild the country, form a new govern-ment and make their nation prosper.

There will be extremists, religious orotherwise, who don’t want peace and ademocratic government just as there areextremists in Palestine and Israel whowould see their people suffer rather thancompromise on a peace that would endthe killing.

The Iraqis will have to rise above theextremists and the old hatreds. WithAmerican and perhaps international helpthey may succeed. For their sake and forours, they have to.

ethics to both the Army and Departmentof Defense.

“Without the dedicated teamwork thateach and every employee … has onKwajalein, there would be a significantpiece missing out of the puzzle for theUnited States Army and the Departmentof Defense,” he said. “I just want to ac-knowledge all you do everyday.”

Urias said he met Johnson 10 yearsago when Johnson returned from DesertShield and Desert Storm as a combatveteran and has watched him matureand learn in the Army.

“He has matured into one of our su-perstars,” Urias said.

Welcoming Daugherty, Urias said, “Sheis made out of the same mold, I knowthat. I looked at her bio, I see it in hereyes … she is also a combat veteran, onethat is caring and compassionate.”

Urias presented Johnson a Meritori-ous Service medal and two framed let-ters, one from Lt. Gen. JosephCosumano, U.S. Army Space and Mis-sile Defense commanding general, andone from himself. Urias also awardedBeverly Johnson a certificate of achieve-ment for outstanding dedication andsupport as part of the command team.

After the ceremony, Kabua presentedJohnson with a plaque in recognition ofthe expanding inclusion of theMarshallese on the range during hiscommand.

USAKA Commander Col. JerryBrown’s remarks followed the traditionalchange of command ceremony.

“In my 25 years in the Army, Lt. Col.Johnson is one of the most talented andgifted officers I have served with,” he said.“Lt. Col. Johnson has an immense ca-pacity to see the big picture with insightthat few have.”

That big picture includes understand-ing RTS’s national strategic level role,comprehending the major command’sscope of operations and how issuesworked here affect Washington’s deci-sions, he said.

Admitting that there wasn’t enoughtime to list all of Johnson’s accomplish-ments during his command, Brownpointed out a few highlights which im-proved the Range’s ability to support cus-tomers and made the Range a model forother Department of Defense ranges.

The earned value management systemJohnson initiated “has helped turn theReagan Test Site into the well-organized,

cost-efficient and superbly managed testrange our customers appreciate and raveabout,” Brown said.

The Kwajalein Modernization andRemoting project and other proceduresJohnson “put into place … are now mod-els for other test ranges in the Depart-

ment of Defense,” he said.During Johnson’s tenure, the range

planned and executed 17 separate mis-sile defense tests, 7 meteorological rock-ets and supported 7 NASA space mis-sions.

Johnson commanded RTS “during themost challenging period in theRange’s history,” Brown said.“The statistics during his tourare impressive with 100 per-cent ratings in missions, safetyand new foreign launch detec-tions.”

Welcoming Daugherty to hernew command, Brown said,“I’m impressed with her cre-dentials and I think she has theright stuff to lead the ReaganTest Site to the next level.”

After thanking the commu-nity members and guestspresent, Johnson pointed outhow unique USAKA is and howit has been an honor for him toserve for two years.

Johnson thanked the com-munity and the school district

for supporting his family. He singled outthe fire, marine and police departmentsfor supporting RTS and Host Nations for“making the closure of the mid-Atoll cor-ridor a thing of the past.”

“To the Reagan Test Site, you are a col-lection of magnificent people, radars, te-lemetry, instrumentation and commu-nications drawn together to accomplishthe nation’s most strategic missions,” hesaid. “I thank you and salute you.”

Likening the range’s customers to a“Bear,” Johnson reminded all that the“Bear” needs to “be cuddled, well fed, forhe provides strength and protection andhe is relentless in his quest for knowl-edge.”

Hoping that, under his command, RTShad taken care of the “Bear” by trying its“best to understand him, explain to him,to comfort him,” Johnson asked every-one present, “that you provide Lt. ColDaugherty with everything on the menuto feed the Bear.”

Finally the new RTS commander spokeof the past and the future, picking upthe gauntlet from her predecessor.

“Reagan Test Site has a long historyof providing the highest quality missiletesting and space support, unparalleledreally and it has met every challenge ithas been given,” she said. “My intent isto continue that tradition and ensure thisrange is always ready to meet our cus-tomers’ needs.”

Urias summed up the day’s meaning.“So you see it is a great day for

Kwajalein, for USAKA and for RTS, be-cause we go from one outstanding leaderto another,” Urias said.

on their monthly reef sweep Saturdaymorning. On each island, the group splitinto teams to inspect their different ar-eas of concern.

Once the helicopter landed on Carlos,the first island on the route, the team splitup to inspect the status of the active fa-cilities on the island, while Batchelortrekked to the Communications building.

“I check the power and the fibers com-ing in,” said Batchelor, CommunicationsVoice/Data Electronic technician. “Whena mission is coming, they need to knowthat the communication system works. Iverify that.”

In the communications buildingBatchelor checks everything from lightswitches to intercom systems. After herwalk through, she resets the alarm sys-tem and heads back to meet the othersat the helicopter.

On each island, Batchelor took prop-erty accounts to verify what materials shehas in each communications building.With a mission approaching, it is impor-tant for everyone in her department toknow exactly what they are working with,she said.

While Batchelor was inside, the rest ofthe team inspected the outside of thebuildings, docks, and the different waterand power plants.

“My main role is to review all of thepower plants on the islands and see tothe status of them,” said Krohn, Utilitiesmanager II. “And I see to grounds keep-ing, I check anything to do with the sup-port of the island.”

Rugg, KRS Environmental manager,and Venneman, Environmental engineer,braved the downpour on Carlos to inspectthe power plant. After they inspected thedifferent storage closets inside the plant,the two questioned the power plant su-pervisor about a drainage system thatleads to an underground storage tank be-side the building.

“We just asked him about the tank andhow it’s maintained,” Venneman said.“We have certain regulations about that,and we have to make sure they’re fol-lowed.”

When everyone returned, the helicop-ter took off for Legan, where a similar in-spection was done in clearer weather.

Tuttle split up from the rest of the groupto inspect a dock for any safety concerns.

“I look to see if things are starting torust and corrode to see if they are be-coming a hazard to people using them,”

he said.Tuttle joined Rugg and Venneman be-

hind a building as they checked the fueltanks. The double-walled containers se-cure fuel tanks in case there is any leak-age, Rugg said. If there is a rupture thefuel won’t go to the outside environment.

Tuttle and Rugg then combed thebeach looking for any suspicious itemsthat have washed up before searching theforest area around a building.

Leaving Legan the team was droppedoff on Illeginni’s lower helicopter padwhile the chopper waited at the other endof the island.

Jackson, KRS Generator Shop lead, in-spected a storage cabinet near the lowerpad with Krohn and discovered a pos-sible safety hazard.

“They’re using a cabinet that’s not sup-posed to be used for chemicals and they’restoring chemicals together that shouldn’tbe stored together,” Jackson said.

Jackson informed Scott, KwajaleinOperations electrical and mechanicalsupervisor, who photographed the dis-covery and then spoke with one of theworkers so that the cabinet can becleaned out and reorganized.

After that problem was dealt with, theteam began the trek up island and in-spected active facilities along the way. Onthe journey up the island, Jackson,

Krohn and Scott stopped occasionally toinspect buildings that were used as tar-gets for previous missions.

Scott separated from the others as hedocumented excess materials fromformer renovations and anything that canbe discarded during future trips to theisland.

“I’m looking for stuff that needs to comeout and stuff that needs to go back [toKwajalein],” he said.

If work needs to be done on any of theislands a boat is brought in with a team,usually from Preventative Maintenance,and when they’re finished, they take theexcess materials with them.

From Illeginni the group flew to Gagan.As the helicopter moved above the island,Batchelor pointed out Roi in the distancebefore the helicopter set down on thelanding pad. Unlike Illeginni, which isremotely operated and requires no per-sonnel; Gagan has a group that comesin daily to run the facilities there.

Batchelor disappeared inside to do herproperty accounts while the rest of theteam inspected the other buildings.

After they inspected the fuel tanks,Rugg and Venneman searched behind thebuilding containing the generator withTuttle. Jackson disappeared inside thebuilding with Krohn to look for anythingout of the ordinary.

When all was found secure, the teamtook off for Meck, the last island on theirjourney. Unlike the lush environmentsof the other islands, Meck’s industrial at-mosphere requires not only a large powerplant but a water plant. Krohn and Jack-son located the water plant supervisor togo over paperwork and inspection proce-dures while Tuttle and Rugg inspectedthe pier and landing pad for corrosionand other hazards.

Batchelor went to work on her prop-erty accounts in an office with a largecombination lock on the door while Scottbegan his patrol of the outside of thebuilding.

With a daily work force on island main-taining the facilities, the inspection onMeck moved much quicker. When theinspection was complete, everyoneclimbed back in the helicopter for onemore trip, back to Kwajalein.

A successful sweep wrapped up as thehelicopter made its approach across thelagoon and landed safely on Kwajalein.The team split up one last time at theairport to file their reports in their respec-tive offices, until next month.

Yokohama Pier collided with the din-ghy around 8:30 p.m. The impactknocked Tamaki from the dinghy andinjured Mohang.

Tamaki swam back to the dinghyand restarted the engine, then droveto the dock security checkpoint atYokohama Pier, where paramedics re-sponded to the injured man’s condi-tion. He was taken to the dispensarywhere medical officials were unable tosave him, Brown said.

Meanwhile, the runabout hadstalled from the collision, and thedriver began to row to YokohamaPier with one oar, finally returningto the pier around 9:20 p.m., Brownsaid.

The drivers took breathalyzer testsand scored 0.0, meaning alcohol ap-parently was not involved. Both men,however, were charged underUSAKA’s water regulations with op-erating without running lights andfailure to file a float plan. Tamaki also

was cited for operating without a boatlicense, and Rubon was ticketed forfailure to utilize the buddy system,as he had no other passengers in hisboat.

Norm Black, Environmental, Safetyand Health manager, said his officehad investigated the matter with theMarine Department and filed a num-ber of initiatives. Some will take effectimmediately, and others will follow inthe next three to six months.

“Whether it’s on- or off-the-job, wetreat safety with the same conviction,”Black said.

Over the next three to six monthsthe Marine Department will add run-ning lights on its inflatable utilityboats.

“We uncovered some things we needto do to make sure the vessels areequipped correctly, but also that thepeople are licensed and know what todo,” Black said.

Black said he worried that otherboats operating on the lagoon, outside

USAKA and KRS jurisdiction, do notcarry running lights. Black said hewould form a process improvementteam with USAKA, Host Nation Officeand KPD to address marine safety is-sues, particularly enforcement ofsafety regulations.

Black said he expects his office willadd a new module to new hire orien-tation, to include more on boatingsafety, bicycle safety and pedestriansafety.

“We’ve got so many new people onisland, we think they’re missing this,”Black said.

His office will also add more marineissues to Safely Speaking, a weeklynewsletter produced by the department.

Black concluded that regulations toprevent this kind of accident are alreadyin place, but enforcement is the key.

“We can’t assume, just because wehave a process in place it’s known,practiced or enforced,” Black said.“We have to go out and ask the ques-tion.”

DuBois said, “created a tax-exempt, non-profit organiza-tion called the Pentagon Me-morial Fund, Inc. to raisefunds for the memorial fromnon-DoD employees — thegreater public, corporations,foundations.

“But the secretarythought it was importantthat we gather together asa family, those of us whowork for the departmentand try and jump start thisfund-raising opportunity.Now it is only appropriate,as I indicated,” he contin-ued, “to have those of usclosest to this memorial —in time, in place and inemotion — to demonstrateour connection to this me-morial with our contribu-tions.”

The U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers began planningthe outdoor memorial im-mediately after the Sept. 11attacks. Corps officials se-lected a winning designfrom over 1,000 contest en-

tries.The design by Keith

Kaseman and JulieBeckman of KasemanBeckman Amsterdam Stu-dio was selected as the win-ner.

“Our initial idea was todedicate a unique place toeach of the individuals thatwere lost that day,”Beckman said. It evolvedthrough many discussions,she said, and the “processgrew over time.”

The memorial will be con-structed with 184 units, onefor each victim. Each unitconsists of a cantileveredbench inscribed with thevictim’s name and a glowinglight pool underneath. Unitswill be arranged accordingto the age of the victims,from 3 to 71.

“I think it is peaceful,” saidRosemarie Dillard, vicepresident of the family steer-ing committee, “We wanteda place that people could goto, and you could think, andyou could relax, and the

water does that.”Dillard’s husband, Eddie,

54, was a passenger on boardAmerican Airlines Flight 77when it was hijacked andcrashed into the Pentagon.Rosemarie was a base man-ager for American Airlines andwas in the supervisory chainof the four flight attendantswho perished.

“My husband was a his-tory major. He loved his-tory,” Dillard said, “andnow, for him to be a part ofhistory means an awful lotto me. It also means an aw-ful lot to me that the em-ployees that I was manag-ing at that time will alwaysbe honored. It overwhelmsme at times. It’s hard totalk about, but it’s just agood feeling.”

Another widow, DonnaTeepe, whose husband Karl,57, worked for the DefenseIntelligence Agency as a fi-nancial resources manager,said she thought this projectwas a good way “to help usremember our loved ones.”

Pentagon’s planned memorial brings peace to many ...

Aftermath of boating accident affects entire community...

(From page 12) Since the attack, she said,people from across thecountry have helped herget through this difficulttime — some friends, somestrangers.

Teepe participated inviewing the finalists in thedesign competition. She saidthe one chosen was her fa-vorite.

“I like the design,” shesaid. “It seemed very sereneand content and a nice placeto visit and to help remem-ber and reflect.”

“I’m thrilled with the out-come,” said Janice Punches,widow of Navy Capt. Jack D.Punches, who worked at thePentagon as deputy head ofNavy Interagency SupportBranch. “I think it’s a peace-ful place that my son anddaughter and I can go. It’ll benice to go lay a flower there.”

Defense officials hope tocomplete the memorial inthe spring of 2005. For ad-ditional information on thePentagon memorial, visitmemorial.pentagon.mil.

Rainy weather and a slip-pery Brandon Field were noobstacles for Elimo Satur-day night when the teamchampioned over their ad-versary The “B” Team inKwaj’s second annualkickball tournament spon-sored by the Community Ac-tivities office.

Six teams battled over fourdays for the prized trophy,crafted by Kathy Bates, andfree kickball t-shirts. Thekickball tournament, orga-nized by Scott Pratt, formerCA Athletic supervisor, wasa single round robin, withevery team playing eachother one time.

“The tournament wentgreat despite the rain wehad,” Pratt said.

The first day of the tourna-ment was cut short with rainstorms that forced doubleheaders during the rest of theweek. The champions, Elimo,went undefeated, until the fi-nal day of the tournament,where they faced an upset-ting loss to Amy Hansen’steam Rubber Belly.

Tensions were high as theteams gathered around the

“We had to use total pointsscored that day since all threeteams had had a victory,”Pratt said. “Elimo beat Rub-ber Belly by one run and the“B” Team had 14 runs so theywere automatically in.”

That one run propelledElimo into the championshipgame against the “B” Teamfrom which they emerged

victorious.The victorywas hardwon forElimo, withplayers slip-ping ands l i d i n gacross thes l i c kground.

“With the help of Torrey[Landers] we had a more fes-tive arena for them to playin,” Pratt said.

Some of the activitiesplanned were cancelled dueto the rain, he said. Landers

and Pratt, who refereed thetournament, made every ef-fort for a good natured com-petition. The two appearedat the championship gamein full costume with wigs inan ef fort to lighten the

mood.Pratt was pleased with the

improvements from lastyear’s competition, he said.The skill and number ofplayers was reflected as thetournament expanded toDaly Field in order to accom-modate the increase ingames.

“There were more experi-enced kickball players, theyhad the strategy down,” hesaid. “Michelle Corder hadthe strategy by pitching re-ally slow and that worked forElimo.”

WASHINGTON – Family membersand defense officials alike intend toensure that those who died at thePentagon Sept. 11, 2001, are remem-bered.

Raymond F. DuBois, DoD directorof administration and management,today launched a fund-raising cam-paign to build a memorial for the vic-tims of the terrorist attack.

After the 9-11 attacks, family andfriends of the victims met in nearbyCrystal City at the Family SupportCenter. “How was the Pentagon goingto remember the family members thatdied?” Jim Laychak recalled someoneasking.

“I remember thinking, ‘What if fiveto six years from now, people aredriving by, and they can’t remem-ber what side was hit?’” recalledLaychak, presidentof the PentagonMemorial FamilySteering Commit-tee. “That onethought started medown the path towhere I am today.

“We have onechance to do thisright,” he said, “achance to build agreat memorial, aplace of remem-brance for those whodied, a place of com-fort for those of usleft behind, and agift for future gen-erations.”

Pentagon starts memorial campaign

The design is the so-called “Light Benches” submitted byJulie Beckman and Keith Kaseman of New York. The memo-rial will be built on the Pentagon reservation near the spotwhere the attack occurred on the building. The memorialincludes 184 benches with the name of each victim en-graved into the face of the bench.

morial will be built on nearly two acresof land along the path the passengerjet took just before it hit the building.

DuBois kicked off the fund-raisingcampaign to launch the $20 millionproject, which will span the next twoyears. He said $10 to 12 million willgo toward construction and the restwill be used for maintenance.

The fund-raiser, sponsored by thevoluntary Defense Department Per-sonnel Pentagon Memorial Organiza-tion, begins today and will end Aug. 8.Private contributions will be the solesource of funding for the memorial’sconstruction.

With approval from the secretary ofdefense, the fund-raising effort is di-rected first at the Pentagon militaryand civilian personnel in the Washing-ton metropolitan region.
