Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008 Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host: MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors.

Governor Requests Buildup Be Delayed Beyond 2014 |
January 29, 2010 In an effort to minimize impacts related to the relocation of the U.S Marines to Guam and to ensure that the buildup is implemented properly, Governor Felix P. Camacho yesterday sent a letter to United States Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus requesting the Guam buildup be delayed. “I believe that a request for an extension would help lessen the impact of the military buildup on Guam. In fact, during our village workshop on Jan. 20, I expressed my intention to ask the United States to consider extending their deadline for the buildup. The extension will greatly impact every area of public concern. It will lessen the pressure currently being placed on our people to accommodate a significant influx in our population,” said Gov. Camacho. In the letter, Governor Camacho wrote “I humbly request that all actions related to the Guam Military Buildup Program be delayed to beyond 2014 to protect the unit integrity of the III Marine Expeditionary Force and ensure that impacts are minimized to our island infrastructure and socioeconomic services.” He further reiterated that the Guam International Agreement mandates the U.S. to take necessary measures for the relocation of the U.S. Marines including funding for facilities on Guam. “Article 2 of the Guam International Agreement clearly states that the U.S. shall take necessary measures for the re-location of the U.S. Marines, including funding for projects to develop facilities on Guam. In order to ensure that the Guam Military Buildup Program is fully implemented as planned, I ask that the Adaptive Program Techniques, identified in the DEIS, be used to extend the construction phase of the program. Use of the Adaptive Program Techniques will enable Guam to be better prepared for the impacts associated with Marine relocation while protecting the unit integrity of the III Marine Expeditionary Force. I believe that this request is consistent with the Guam International Agreement signed by U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Japan Foreign Minister Hirofumi Nakasone on February 17, 2009," said Gov. Camacho.” |

Government Agencies to Launch ‘Our Island, Our Lives’ Campaign |
|
January 27, 2009
The Office of the Governor, PBS Guam, the Guam Coastal Management Program, and the Bureau of Statistics and Plans will officially launch the ‘OUR ISLAND, OUR LIVES’ campaign on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010. The launch will include public service announcements broadcast over local television channels and official announcements made through various forms of media including radio, television, and print.
To best inform the community and collect commentary, the campaign will incorporate several outreach events in high schools and throughout the villages culminating with a live television event to be broadcast on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2010, on PBS Channel 12 and simulcast on KPRG radio.
‘OUR ISLAND, OUR LIVES’ seeks to provide information on how residents can effectively respond to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Additionally, the campaign plans to collect comments regarding the DEIS, which in turn will be submitted to the Department of Defense on behalf of the people of Guam.
“I believe it is critical that our island residents be properly informed about the Guam buildup,” said Governor Felix P. Camacho. “This innovative campaign will assist tremendously in making our people more aware of the issues surrounding what will be a pivotal time for our island.”
The campaign will take place over the course of two weeks and will consist of a series of educational and comment collection events that target the general population and high school students including a youth forum, classroom discussions involving students from the Department of Education and private high schools, and an interactive town meeting.
“I encourage everyone to take part in these events,” said Gov. Camacho. “I am optimistic that this campaign will raise the level of public discussion regarding the buildup and help address some of the concerns expressed by members of our community.” |
