U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands

By KW HillisFeature Writer

With the official opening of theEbeye Computer Center on Feb.11, The Workforce Investment Actboard helped the island jump intothe 21st century. But the boarddoesn’t just fund modern projects,said John M. Silk, Republic of theMarshall Islands Resources and De-velopment minister.

“Our primary objective is to re-ally get people to help themselves,whether it is sustaining themselvesby being fishermen or by doinghandicrafts,” he said. “That’s whatwe want to do and if at the sametime we can preserve the culture

It’s a war of power and controlwith the potential to strike inevery American home. And more

than 6,000 Army families suffered ca-sualties in 2001.

It’s domestic violence, and every daysome spouses go beyond a disagreementto abuse one another or a child, andKwajalein is not immune. At least threeKwajalein families felt the effects of do-mestic violence from January 2002 toJanuary 2003, according to KwajaleinPolice Department Chief Kevin Dykema.Two of the calls involved alleged domesticassaults, while the third was a distur-bance call.Abusive patterns

“It’s a matter of power and control,”said Marian Ruffing, Kwajalein psy-chologist and certified Employee Assis-

tance counselor.Ruffing defines domestic violence as

“intentional physical injury, and/or apattern of intentional acts that affectpsychological well-being, and/or forcedsexual activity.”

Abuse can range from mild coercionto severe threats, intimidation and vio-lence, she added.

Nationally, a conservative estimatehas about 1 million women sufferingfrom domestic violence annually, rep-resenting up to 95 percent of all cases,according to the American Bar Asso-ciation Commission on Domestic Vio-lence.

In 2001, the Army reported 6,404substantiated allegations of family vio-lence within the ranks, according tothe Army News Service. Women andchildren suffered the most injuries,

As workers chip away at the YokweYuk Club ceiling, Farida Straub,Sodexho USA general manager, andbar manager Chris Eskew ponder thealternatives for their now closed place.

“I can see this won’t be easy,” Straubsaid.

The club’s dining side closed Sundayafter small portions of the concreteceiling fell from its re-bar skeleton.With the kitchen closed, and the possi-bility that the damage could be morewidespread, the bar closed its doorsindefinitely this week, said Lloyd Jor-dan, Residential Services manager.

“Until it’s safe, cleaned up and not afood preparation issue, we can’t openit,” Jordan said.

Workers knocked loose any moreconcrete set to fall and expected tocomplete that work this week, saidJohn Brown, FOM manager.

Marshallese Wordof the Day

jikin � place

By Jason BischoffAFN

The biggest, fattest movie of lastyear was “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”.Some have even argued that because itcost so little to make it’s the biggestmovie of all time.

Next to going to Tape Escape andfinding four copies of “Hey Arnold! TheMovie” on the new release shelf, thehardest thing about being a movie fanliving on Kwaj is avoiding clips of thebig movies, let alone the biggest. It’salmost impossible!

If you didn’t see star Nia Vardalos onLeno, Letterman, Oprah, Access Hol-lywood, Today, Good Morning America,The Early Show, The View or SaturdayNight Live you had to catch the AAFEESspot that ran in heavy rotation all lastmonth. My goodness, I watch way toomuch television. I caught every clipand saw every parody long before thefilm was due to be released on videoand still laughed at every joke when Ifinally got to see it.

Vardalos plays Toula Portokalos;your average, everyday, single, 30-year-old woman who’s not happy with herlife. She feels there’s more to life then

working at the family restaurant andsets out to discover the world throughcourses at her local community col-lege.

Along the way she meets JohnCorbett’s Ian Miller; your average,everyday, single, 30-year-old man who’sunsatisfied with the women his bestfriend continually sets him up with. It’slove at first sight. The only problem,he’s not Greek.

There hasn’t been one negative re-view written about “My Big Fat GreekWedding” and I’m not going to writethe first. The love story is touching,the characters are endearing, and themovie is just funny.

You don’t have to be Greek to enjoyit, but Michael Constantine’s scene-stealing Gus Portokalos would tell youthat you probably are and don’t evenknow it.

By Jim BennettHourglass

Wedding movies kind of run in aclass with themselves. You’ve got theoriginal and follow-up “Father of theBride” which set the standard for parodyof one of life’s most humorous events.Then you’ve got “The Wedding Singer,”which captured the 80s on film and abunch of supposedly feel-good roman-tic comedies like “My Best Friend’sWedding” and “Runaway Bride.”

But leave it to an independent film

‘Greek Wedding’ gets a big, fat, great reviewmaker to set a new standard.

Nia Vardolos wrote the story andplayed lead character Toula Portokalos,a woman who wants more out of lifethan working at the family restaurant;finding a nice, Greek boy; and produc-ing Greek babies.

“My Big Fat Greek Wedding” workson a number of levels.

It makes fun of weddings, but doesn’treplay the same old jokes of picking outdresses or the expensive nature of theone-day event.

Instead, the movie focuses on thewacky Portokalos family. They are asloud and overly involved in each other’slives as any family on film.

It makes fun of Greeks as an ethnicgroup, but told from the perspective ofa Greek woman, the jabs are loving,not mean.

Though the Portokalos family isGreek, anyone can relate. Who doesn’thave or know a father-figure who isstubborn and has his mind set on theway things ought to be or the mother-figure who works him? Who doesn’thave or know a crazy aunt and, orannoying cousins? Maybe not 27 firstcousins, as does Portokalos; but hey, itworks.

As John Corbett’s character, IanMiller, points out to his bride-to-be,“You have a weird family. So what? Weall do.”

After grossing a reported $228 mil-lion in the U.S., the film now heads tothe small screen as a CBS sitcom, “MyBig Fat Greek Life.”

According to TV Guide, it’s got a fewtweaks, but returns most of the origi-nal movie cast, minus Corbett.

I hope the show works as well as themovie, and AFN picks it up. In themeantime, see the movie, just in caseit doesn’t.

Kwajalein School superintendentKaren Ammann is currently at theUniversity of Northern Iowa Job Fairrecruiting up to 11 teachers for the2003-2004 school year — one preschool,seven elementary and three highschool, said Steve Howell, KwajaleinJunior/Senior High School principal atWednesday School Advisory Councilmeeting.North Central Association

The culmination and summary ofthe last five years of work for accredi-tation by the NCA is near an end,according to Barbara Bicanich, NCAchairperson.

The teachers have been working withstudents on four goals — responsiblelearners, life-long learners, currenttechnology users and effective commu-nicators. Each of these goals has spe-cific skills.

“These are goals we have been imple-menting,” she said. “The first one wedid was technology. We got computersin all the classrooms … teachers weretaught skills first so we could teachthem to the students. That was four orfive years ago.

“[Students] are supposed to improvein all of these areas,” she said. “Inresponsible learners and life-long learn-ers … goals include getting to class ontime with their proper stuff; followingthrough when they are absent.”

As a result of these goals and empha-sis, every year the school handbook isupdated and tightened, she added.

This year the report is being writtenand will go to the NCA. This fall, theNCA team will visit Kwajalein schools,interviewing teachers, administrators,parents and students.

Besides reporting their findings tothe command, the NCA will evaluatenew goals selected by the school.

“Then we will work on the new goalsfor the next five years,” Binanich said.“You’re never done.”Graduate survey results

One of the addendums to the schools’NCA report is the results of an e-mailsurvey sent to students from the 1997– 2002 graduating classes, said DickShields, SAC teacher representative.Of the e-mails received by the gradu-ates in December, 39 percent returnedthe survey. The students were asked

to rate both the academic departmentand skills, including leadership andtime management, acquired duringhigh school years, Shields said.

“Almost all departments received anA grade,” he said. “The average rating,computed on a 4.0 scale, showed arange from 2.80 to 3.87 … Skills rat-ings averaged in the A category, with arange from 3.07 to 3.85.”

The report will show the NCA “a feelfor the total educational community,”he said. “Out of 29 responses, 24 wentto college. The one caveat is that thissurvey covers ten years of school onKwajalein … during which time manycurriculum and staff changes have takenplace. Overall, the graduates seemedvery satisfied with their education atKHS.”Science Fair

The Science Fair setup and judging ison Monday, Feb. 24. The Open House isTuesday, Feb. 25, 6:30-8:30 in the MProom with awards ceremony at 7 p.m.Book Fair

The Book Fair will be held for thestudents on Feb. 25-26. Communitynight is Feb. 26, 6:30-8:30 p.m. in theelementary school music room.Career night

The High School Career Night is Thurs-day, Feb. 27, 7-8:30 p.m., MP room.

“We’ll have about 24 to 25 profes-sions/jobs represented,” said BobAmmann, KJSHS counselor. “Kids areinvited to go from table to table and sitdown and talk to someone.”

Some of the professions/jobs repre-sented are machinist, teacher, reporter,hygienist and accountant.Adult education

The signup for the next session isdelayed one week until March 4, saidTeri King, Adult/Community Educa-tion coordinator. Classes will startMarch 11.

“So this will be a six-week ratherthan a seven-week session so we canget the new company transitioned in,”she said.

The next TOEFL exam is May 10,with overseas registration deadlineMarch 24. Information packets andsignup forms are in the Adult Educa-tion office.School calendar

The final proposed 2003-2004 schoolcalendar with a school starting date ofAug. 22 and the last school day, June 10

was approved by SAC. Once the com-mander approves, the calendar will besent to the community, Howell said.New curricula

Public meeting for the new K-12 lan-guage arts and 7-12 industrial technologycurricula is March 14, 7 p.m., in junior/senior high school library.

“Assuming there are no major revi-sions, the proposed final draft will be atthe April SAC meeting for first read-ing,” Howell said.Student news

Investiture in the National HonorSociety will take place in March, saidPatrick Casey, high school representa-tive. Letters have been sent to eligiblestudents.

Starting next year, class officers inninth-12th grade will be elected on ayearly basis rather than per semester,he said. The seventh and eighth gradeswill still elect their officers on a semes-ter basis.

The officers in the order of president,vice-president and secretary/treasurer,just elected for this semester are:

Seniors: Megan Graham; PatrickCasey; Nicole Dowsett.

Juniors: Michelle Corder; ChristinaPadayhag; Anja Pierre-Mike; two stu-dent government association represen-tatives, Sara Alves and Timothy Samuel.

Sophomore: Elizabeth Horner;Marcy Peterson; Leslie Ana Curtis.

Freshman: Ashley DeLong; JeffLewis; Robyn Clark; SGA representa-tives Barry Childers and MallorySmith.

Eighth: Alyssa Reed; Tyler Harville;Lea Simpson; SGA representativesMichelle Leverett and Céline Buckley-Taylor.

Seventh: Karen Coleman; ShelleyChilders; Donna Pippitt; SGA represen-tatives Austen Webber and Julie Vining.

The senior class officers are also theSGA officers.Uniforms

Paul Divinski, retail manager, isworking with a vendor to see if it isfeasible to put uniforms in Macy’s,Howell said. A question aboutMarshallese students’ access to theuniforms in Macy’s was taken and willbe resolved.

A committee of parents, studentsand faculty will discuss the uniformissue and come up with recommenda-tions, Howell said.

Schools seek up to 11 teachers, reaccreditation



that would be even better. If we cantrain people to be computer literate sothat they can upgrade their skills andmaybe get promoted in the modernworld, that’s fine.”

WIA, funded by the U.S. Departmentof Labor, visited Kwajalein, Ebeye andEnniburr last week to follow up onprojects already underway and to dis-cuss current collaborations and futurepossible projects with Maj. DavidCoffey, USAKA Host Nation chief andKRS president Carmen Spencer.

One WIA/USAKA project started lastfall, is almost ready to be launched,Coffey said. Applications from MarshallIsland citizens for two intern positionsat USAKA — one in the Public AffairsOffice and the other in Protocol office— are just waiting for review and finalselections.

The intern positions, which are year-long positions that will be refilled eachyear, were established with a biggergoal in mind, Coffey said.

“The intent is first and foremost toget a Marshallese perspective includedinto the USAKA planning process,” hesaid. “Secondly, to provide opportuni-ties to Marshallese citizens who havethe ability, but not necessarily theresources to go off to college.”USAKA will provide meals and lodg-ing, while WIA will provide a $200 aweek stipend, he said. Only a portion ofthe stipend will go to the intern, withthe rest to be used for college tuition orfees. Up to $10,000 could be accrued bythe intern to be used for college over aperiod of a year.

“We think that the skills they willpick up in those two offices are highlyapplicable in an emerging democracy,”Coffey said. “When they come backwith the academic qualification andthe on-the-job training that we provide

them, I hope they find themselveshighly marketable in the governmentor private sector.”

Coffey said that he borrowed KRS’idea of evaluating the supervisors onhow well the interns perform both onthe job and preparing for college.

“Part of how supervisors are evalu-ated is how they make their interns asuccess,” Spencer said during his over-view of KRS’s emphasis on increasingopportunities for Marshallese citizens.These include six college scholarshipsa year, four to the College of theMarshall Islands and two to any four-year U.S. university, and the openingof 26 new technical positions which,when the training program is com-pleted, come with U.S. level wages andthe potential for billeting on island.

“Evaluating the supervisor — that isa first,” Silk said. “I think that is apositive attitude coming from the con-tractors and USAKA because … it rein-forces the emphasis on promoting localpeople to come and take on these re-sponsibilities.”

Part of the emphasis is to bringcollege-educated Marshallese backhome.

“The intent is we want them to know— these bright young men andwomen— when they go to school, thatthere is a job waiting for them,” Spen-cer said. “A job right here that is highpaying, a good job with good housingwhere they can raise a family … [weplan] to start this program this sum-mer.”

The lack of school lunches for Ebeyechildren attending Kwaj schools wasanother subject that surprised Silk.The individual donations from manyKRS managers and employees to pro-vide a nutritious lunch to each childstarting in May surprised him evenmore.

(From page 1)

WIA, KRS partner up; projects span traditional to modern ...“I thought they had lunch at the

school, already,” he said. “It is a verygood gesture.”

New WIA projects, some hand-in-hand with USAKA or KRS, some not,are underway on Ebeye and the outerislands, Silk said. WIA projects includeteaching Ebeye women traditionalMarshallese handicrafts and a projectlead by Iroij Michael Kabua teachingyoung men how to build traditionalgrass houses and facilities. The open-ing of the mid-corridor islands for visi-tation and the impending importationof produce, fish and Marshallese prod-ucts to USAKA is starting up a varietyof WIA projects including training andgear for fishermen and farmers.

“The intent [of importing items fromthe Marshall Islands] was never tocontinue to fund big business as muchas to spread the wealth and encouragelower and middle-class families … [thatis] where I see WIA board coming intothis particular effort,” Coffey said. Themid-atoll corridor is open except for afew days a year “when missiles areactually flying.” Pending landownerapproval, the mid-corridor islands areavailable for agriculture.

Continued WIA funding by the U.S.is also part of the compact agreementgoing to Congress next month.

“I think we’re going to be seeing a lotof changes, I think it starts with thenew compact in place,” Silk said. WIAin corroboration with USAKA and KRScan come up with many new opportuni-ties for the Marshall Islands, like theimpending import of Marshallese goodsand food to USAKA.

“It took a time and they finally fig-ured out it could be done,” Silk said.“It shows that if people take the timeand work together on finding solu-tions, almost all problems are man-ageable.”

“We’re just trying to get rid of the immediate hazard rightnow,” Brown said.

A meeting is set for next week where engineers, foodservices and others will try and formulate a plan on what todo next, he added.

In the meantime, Eskew has planned to move baroperations to the Oceanview Club and hours there will beextended in keeping with the Yuk Club bar’s hours. Thus,the Oceanview will now close at 11 p.m. on weeknightsand 1 a.m. on the weekends. Additionally, local DJs will

move their acts to the Oceanview and the back patio willbe covered with a tent and opened up as a dance floor.

And the Oceanview will host Quizzo, the popular localteam trivia game, next Sunday. It was originally scheduledfor the club this weekend.

On the dining side of the house, Straub and others arebrainstorming ideas from catering events to alternate sit-down dining spots such as piggy-backing sit-down diningoperations with the Cafe Pacific.

Said Jordan, “We’re exploring the options we can use,both for the short term and on a long-term basis.”

Club officials explore short- and long-term options ...


and researchers emphasize that thesenumbers include only cases that werereported and cannot be inclusive ofviolence that occurred unnoticed orwas ignored.

Ruffing and Dykema agreed that it’sa safe bet Kwajalein had a few morethan three cases last year. Some prob-ably just never got reported.

Studies of family violence in the Armyshow that age and maturity levels areimportant risk factors in determiningan individual’s involvement. Statisti-cally, 22- to 26-year-olds have the high-est rate of both spouse and child abusebecause they have not yet developedjoint coping and communication skills,the Army stated.

Kwajalein’s families statistically areolder.

Also, said Dykema “You have a con-trolled environment out here. Usu-ally, with domestic violence you have apattern of previous cases. A lot of peopleout here have clearances and, if youhave a domestic violence conviction,you can’t get a clearance.”

But the island offers other factorsthat can contribute to abuse, Ruffingsaid.

In some cases, alcohol is involved,and it’s readily available on Kwajalein,she added. Also, the island’s civilianpopulation shares some unique mili-tary risk factors such as separationfrom a natural support network, likeextended family; increased stress dueto force drawdowns, or potential em-ployment issues or loss of employmentfor civilians; and intensified missionschedules.Answering the call

It’s one of the most dangerous calls apolice officer can answer, responsiblefor around 15 percent of those officerskilled in the line of duty every year,according to FBI statistics. In 2001, ofthe 142 officers killed in the line of

duty, not counting the 72 lost at theWorld Trade Center, nine died respond-ing to “family quarrels.”

It can be dangerous even withoutprivately owned guns on the island.

“There are a lot of other weaponsbesides guns,” Dykema said.

Consequently, KPD officers respondto domestic calls in teams and gatheras much information as they can be-fore entering a house.

“Emotions are high and you’re goinginto their house, where they’re com-fortable,” Dykema said. “They knowwhere everything is in the house andyou don’t.”

Once they split the parties up, theytry to resolve the situation. To date,the strategy apparently has worked,with no reported cases of police as-saults while answering the calls.

If an officer believes an assault hasoccurred, the suspected attacker istaken to the station and later releasedto his or her supervisor. Some checkinto the Kwaj Lodge for the night.Others go to the supervisor’s home,but they may not go back home until a“cooling off period” has passed, Dykemasaid.Command decisions

While not seemingly a large numberof cases, three is enough, according toDeputy Garrison Commander OlenLawson.

“As a command, we can’t tolerate it,”Lawson said.

After police break-up a potential abusesituation, they file a report to Ruffing,who meets with the people involvedincluding the alleged perpetrator andvictim or victims. After consultations,she files a report to a committee, chairedby the deputy garrison commander,and made up of Ruffing, USAKA LegalOfficer Kent Duncan and police.

If the charges appear substantiated,Lawson, with the advice of the commit-tee, determines some sort of adminis-

trative action. Under the regulations,substantiated cases can earn a civilianoffender a range of actions from asuspended bar from the island to apermanent bar, with more serious vio-lent cases possibly being referred tolegal authorities for prosecution,Duncan said. A military member fallsunder the Uniform Code of MilitaryJustice.

Cases over the past few years havenot gone beyond suspended and per-manent bars, Duncan said.

Lawson added that offenders mustmeet “strict requirements” to be con-sidered for a suspended bar.

“We look at each case on its ownmerit,” he said. “We look at past his-tory. We look at the factors and thesecond and third order of effects. Wehave to think about the family and thecommunity.”

Seriously violent cases wouldn’tmake the cut, he said, but an offenderwho demonstrates remorse and a de-sire to seek treatment, may receive asuspended bar with specific conditionssuch as required alcohol treatment oranger management classes. And withthe command retaining jurisdictionover the case, a single additional viola-tion can earn the offender a ticket off-island.

Said Lawson, “There’s no place forthat kind of behavior out here.”Who to call

While disciplinary, administrativeand even legal actions can serve as adeterrent, officials noted the best ap-proach to the problem is prevention,which starts in the home.

Family Advocacy, advertised onArmed Forces Network, falls prima-rily under Ruffing on Kwajalein, andshe can be reached at 55362 during theday and 58609 at night.

If necessary, police are at 54445 fornon-emergencies and 54000 for emer-gencies.

Chimpanzees take KRC Sweetheart Relay raceBy Jim BennettEditor

A team of a young runners and amother made the most of their handi-cap and claimed the Sweetheart RelayTuesday.

Calling themselves “Chimpanzees,”Isaac Cohen, Tyler Stepchew and GrantThimsen, joind by Isaac’s mother Ann,posted a handicapped time of 20:38 inthe 4X1-mile relay race, sponsored byKwajalein Running Club. The groupreceived a $50 gift certificate to Macy’sfor the win.

“Eight is Great and Nine is Fine,”made up of eight- and nine-year-oldsSarah Greenbaum, Daniel Lemmond,Abbi Hicklin and Mark Cason, tooksecond with an adjusted time of 21:53.

Thirteen teams participated in all,according to KRC President Bob Sholar.

“The kids seem to enjoy this event inparticular, partly because the start isstaggered by a handicapping system,allowing them to get a head start,sometimes a big head start,” Sholarsaid. Handicaps are based on a runner’sgender and age with statistically, thepeak performance expected at ages 24to 25.

“Chimpanzees,” actually started 4minutes and 50 seconds behind themost handicapped team, but 8 minutesand 46 seconds ahead of the last start-ing team, “Guns and Hoses,” made upof Tom Laituri, Jason Kelly, TomMeinert and Robert Guidi, four menwho work with the Roi Fire Depart-ment.

But Tyler Stepchew’s handicap ad-justed 4:42 was the fastest among the

youths, followed by Thimsen’s 4:50adjusted time, helping the team win,Sholar said.

KRC regular Brian Brewster recordedthe fastest mile with a 5:46 unadjustedtime, followed by Derek Brower andGuidi who both ran 5:48.

For the ladies, Sharon Greenbaumclocked an actual 6:29 and with herhandicap, a 4:08, the fastest handi-capped mile on the day.

Teams had to have four members tocompete for the gift certificate.

WASHINGTON — Nearly 800 mem-bers of the National Guard helped localauthorities in eight states dig out froma President’s Day blizzard that forcedmuch of the East Coast into a snow-bound halt.

Some 350 Army Guard troops wereon state active duty in Maryland alone,said citizen-soldiers tracking the forceat the Army Guard’s Readiness Centerin Arlington, Va.

Delaware peaked at 134 Army Guardsoldiers, while New Jersey pressed 84into state active duty and Kentuckyramped up more than 100 to help clearstorm-strewn debris and power up gen-erators in that state.

Troops in New York and Virginia

also supported the effort. And the totalincluded nine members of the Air Na-tional Guard on duty in Delaware,Kentucky and West Virginia.

Many of the Guard troops rolled out inHummers to carry police officers overstreets and roads clogged with driftingsnow and buried cars and to transportemergency personnel to work.

That was what about 40 District ofColumbia Army Guard soldiers, includ-ing Sgt. 1st Class Abayomi Emiabata andStaff Sgt. Mark Steedley, did in living upto their motto “Capital Guardians.”

Both are full-time members of theDC Guard’s counter-drug team, butthe white powder that concerned themmost on this weekend was the snowthat made the streets in Washington,D.C., all but impassable.
