By Jan Waddell Reporter Set in a remote location Likiep Island, just north of Kwajalein, is considered a true get away. “I found it to be a wonderful relaxing place,” said Jamie Rowe. “The island has a lot of natu- ral beauty, a place to go and get away.” Touching down on a coral and grass runway in the middle of the coconut plantation immediately lets the visitor know they are not on Kwajalein anymore. “Just get away and get off the ‘rock’ [Kwajalein],” Rowe said.

The Kwajalein Hourglass Feb. 10, 2004 Feb. 10, 2004 3 The Kwajalein Hourglass Renovated Ocean BQ offers suite floor plan By KW Hillis Assistant Editor A 14-year effort to upgrade bachelor’s quarters reached a conclusion Saturday as Marty Olson, Corps of Engineers Con- struction representative, turned the newly renovated Ocean BQ keys over to D. Flynn Gideon, KRS Housing Office manager. Now, 23 tenants, four of which lived in the Ocean before the renovation, will move in the first part of March. “We’ve already made assign- ments,” Gideon said, explaining that, other than the returning four residents — a fifth resident is PCSing — the assignments were made by a lottery drawing among 56 BQ residents. The 19 selected met the USAKA requirement that they had lived in their current room for at least a year. The Ocean was the last BQ on both Roi and Kwaj, with the (Courtesy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) exception of the Pacific BQ, to The renovated Ocean BQ rooms offer residents a living space and separate bedroom, along undergo a major renovation. with the kitchenette and bathroom in all other BQs on Kwajalein and Roi.

Currently, there are some rooms available in other BQs, but Gideon expects that to change. Unac- companied people currently living in trailers must either move to a BQ room by March 1 or lose their meal card. Alan and Marge Metelak, who are both on unac- companied contracts, will move from a trailer into the Ocean. They had put their name on the BQ list because they didn’t want to lose their meal cards and were surprised when they were both selected during the lottery drawing. “We would rather stay in the trailer, but that doesn’t appear to be an option,” Alan Metelak said. “One of the main reasons we decided to [move to the Ocean] we want two rooms next to each other, so we hope that will happen. The Ocean looks like a nice facility.” After the four previous tenants decided to return, some unaccompanied people who were selected to fill the remaining 19 rooms turned down the room, so Housing went on to the next person selected, (Photo by KW Hillis) Gideon said.

The Kwajalein Hourglass Feb. 10, 2004 Feb. 10, 2004 5 The Kwajalein Hourglass Partial power outage demonstrates system design By Jan Waddell Reporter A recent power outage on Kwa- jalein resulted from one of the seven power plant engines regis- tering a problem and then shut- ting down automatically to avoid damage, according to Ed Black, deputy manager of Public Works. The remaining engines online at the time were unable to meet the total power demand, so non-criti- cal areas were shut down, serv- ing as an example of how the island’s power system works. The island is divided into sec- tions of residential, light indus- try, heavy industrial and criti- cal need, he said. When power consumption exceeds the output, areas on island shut off based on the level of critical need. The power plant system is designed to shed, or shut down, less criti- cal feeders in the event of a mal- function or overload of the plant (Photo by Jan Waddell) engines.
