Construction activity for two improvement projects began at the entry gates to Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay, last week. Although some impacts to traffic may be encountered as the projects progress, the Facilities Department here is committed to mitigating inconveniences to the greatest extent possible. At the H-3 main gate, Facilities will be installing four pole- mounted floodlights and two new streetlights. The contractor, West Coast Construction, has already mobilized on-site, and its work will continue through August 2004. During construction on the median at the H-3 gate, traffic will be limited to one outbound lane on the H-3 side of the gate for approximately one-tenth of a mile. Although the contractor will also be working on the H-3 side of the inbound lanes, one inbound lane will still be available

The lyrics tend to take on a different meaning to people at the military shows, Stafford explained. He said the lyrics can be interpreted differently, and they easily relate to what’s going on with so many in Iraq. “The military shows can actually give you goose bumps,” said Stafford. “We all just real- ly appreciate what the military is doing.” Stafford said people at BayFest should expect a great time and listen for songs such as their new hit “Ordinary” from the “Spiderman 2” sound- track. He wrapped by empha- sizing that the band fully supports the military, and hopes all who are deployed make it home safely.

PHAIR, From B-3 Of her main stream success, the former Indie- rock princess says she still feels a little bit like an out- sider, even as her album’s first single breaks the Billboard Top 10. “I feel a little bit like I’m infiltrating the pop music scene, sneaking my message out there on the radio,” she said. Phair said she feels the new exposure her music has received gives her great opportunities to be even more outspoken and proactive. “I feel like the issue the military is dealing with right now is the elephant in the room that no one really wants to talk about. The service members need our support and appreciation, and I’m looking forward to this show.” Phair plays tonight at 9 on the main stage at BayFest.

Flag should be flown properly

Feature Source Featurettes

With the Fourth of July quickly approaching, here are some tips to ensure that you fly the flag proudly and proper- ly.

•The U.S. flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during hours of darkness. •When flown at half- staff, the U.S. flag should be first hoisted to the peak for a moment and then lowered to the half- staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is low- ered for the day. •It is generally not desirable to fly the flag outdoors when the weather is particularly inclement to avoid dam- aging the flag. •The U.S. flag should never be displayed with the union down except as a signal of distress in instances of extreme dan- ger to life or property. •The U.S. flag should never touch anything beneath it. •The U.S. flag should never be carried horizon- tally. •Always allow the U.S. flag to fall free; never use the U.S. flag as a covering, wearing apparel, bedding or drapery, or festooned as decoration in general. •The U.S. flag should never be fastened, dis- played, used or stored in a manner that will permit it to be easily torn, soiled or damaged in any way. •When the U.S. flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting em- blem for display, it should be destroyed in a digni- fied way, preferably by burning, privately.
