Government agencies, volunteers to clean the island Saturday

Government agencies, volunteers to clean the island Saturday The Guam Earth Month islandwide beautification cleanup starts at 6:30 a.m. Saturday. Residents who want to participate in one of the organized site cleanups and who aren t already connected with one the participating groups, are asked to call the governor’s office at 473-1162 for locations and contact information. If you don’t call in advance, you still can show up at a cleanup site, according to the governor’s office, and should find the person in charge of that site to receive supplies and instructions. Volunteers will be provided with gloves and trash bags and are asked to bring their own facemasks, although some sites will have masks for volunteers who don’t have one.

Process for returning excess federal land questioned

 In 2011, the Under Secretary of the Navy promised to pursue a “net negative strategy” for the U.S. Marine Corps relocation from Okinawa to Guam, which promised to result in a smaller military footprint on Guam.  Underutilized land would be returned to the Government of Guam. Under Guam law, all property transferred to Guam by the federal government should be returned by the commission to original landowners. If it is kept by the government of Guam, landowners whose property was not returned would be compensated. The governor had said she was looking at the former Nimitz Golf Course as a potential site for a new hospital, but the military said that land was not appropriate for return. Land near Eagles Field in Mangilao is another site being looked at.
