C N M I public schools openBy Lily O. R a m o sThe first day of school is usu­

ally chaotic with students hurrying here and there, trying to find their class schedules and respective homerooms while teachers are kept busy herding them to their classroooms for orientation.

A t the Garapan Elementary S ch o o l, w h ere k in d e rg a rten classes are starting only this year, vice-principal Vicky Cabrera said while there’s no principal yet available, they have not encoun­tered any problem in coping up with a population of 613 which is expected to increase with late registrants within a week or two.

Outside the office, a boy of eight grabbed his school bag from his m other’s hand then ran off crying without putting his shoes on.

“Vincent is shy because most o f his second grade classmates are new ,” said his mother, Lourdes Sablan as w e headed for the kin­dergarten classroom.

Garapan Elementary School has accepted 63 kindergarten pupils who are at least five years old distributed to three sections, with a limit o f 21 kids per classroom.

Each class is entitled to one master teacher and oneaide teacher and classes start a t 7:30 am . then end at 11:30 a. m. when parents are ready to pick up their little ones.

Castro breaks newb y T e r i M . F l o r e sSuperior Court Judge

Alexandra Castro has al­lowed video recording and the use of cassette recorders during court proceedings.

“The trend in the United States is to allow the public access to see what is going on inside the courtroom,” Castro said. ^

“It is left to the discretion of the otherjudges iof they would allow th# court pro­

ceedings be taped,” Castro said.Castro said that based on the

Superior Court rules, the offi­cial recorder is the only device that could be used in taping court proceedings. During the inception of the CNMI Su­preme Court, it was stipulated that no camera would be al­lowed to be used during court proceedings.

‘‘When they were proposing the rules, the issue on recording the proceedings were deleted.

It was now up to the judge’s discretion if they would allow that proceedings could be taped or not,” Castro said.

The judge said that he has a set of criteria which he follows in allowing the use of video cameras and cassette recorders inside the courtroom. The cri­teria Castro has set is based on therecommendationsmadeon a two week seminar with the Natiopnal Judicial College

which he attended.Castro said that in criminal

cases, a consultation is made between the prosecution and the defense if they would allow themediatovidebtapeorrecord them for the purpose of show­ing it to the public.

Ifboth parties agree, it ismade sure that the taping would not distract court proceddings, Castro said.

The judge said that in cases

where the broadcasting of court proceedings could hamper the decision on the case, the media is advised not to record the proceedings.

Castro said that the video­taping of the Saipan Cable TV and the recording made by a KZMI reporter on the Kaipat hearing was the first time the Superior Court has allowed the media to broad­cast court proceedings.

MPLCs actions object of concern

How appropriate it is th a t th e Mariana Public Lands Corporation is located next door to th e civil defense office; MPLC is th e classic example of a 'disaster' that's just about ready to happen.

Many eyebrows w ere raised on Capitol Hill this week when House Counsels Maya Kara and Ray Smith said in a legal opinion th a t based on informa­tion supplied MPLCs own lawyer th a t no faceto-face meeting w as ever held on th e "Second Amendment" to the Shimizu lease, it w as illegal.

The House attorneys said th a t MPLCs bylaws do not allow telephone m eetings, and even if they did, these meetings would have to be "conference calls" in which all board m em bers could hear each other. Apparently, the alleged ’meeting’which approved the Shimizu lease w as held by telephone poll.

But almost before th e w ords in the legal opinion were dry on the page MPLCs top boss, William Concepcion stands before a notary public and 'swears under penalty of perjury1 th a t a faceto-face meeting really happened.

This is just another in a long list of stunts pulled by MPLC to cover up the fact they have not been doing their job of looking after th e public’s land.

W here is the long-promised land use plan?That was promised a long tim e ago and until it is

produced, approved and used as a guide for the future no m ore public land leases for private enter- prises.

The public and legislative sec to r is rapidly losing patience and confidence in MPLC. Too many funny things' are going on up there to suit the public. Despite repeated warnings to get their act together the agency continues to blunder around trying to have their own way . . and failing miserably.

From all appearances the Legislature is readying big guns to begin an assault on MPLC. It’s about time th a t som eone took th e lead in cleaning out the rotten apples in the agency. A possible legislative investiga­tion is now being actively talked about, and if imple­mented could open a lot of closets and s ta rt skeletons a'shaking.

The opinion expressed in this column are thepersonal opinion of the author and may or may not express the opinions of the newspaper.

Before the legislature is a jo in t resolution supporting the for­mation o f the Japan/Northern M arianas Parliamentary League o f Friendship. Its purpose is to serve as acondu itfo r third coun­try assistance for the Northern M ariana Islands.

There are those who feel that such an organization w ould risk the relationship w e have with the U.S. Government founded in the Covenant A greem ent It w as rebutted that perhaps it is the best risk the NM J could take to put the U.S. G overnm ent on notice that w e m ean business.

I t was also noted that theU .S. has willfully violated the spirit o f various provisions o f the C ovenant A greem ent in that while som e substantive issues call for mutual consent, i.e., a p ­proval o f federal laws which m ay affect the NMI, ithas gone ahead without securing our end o f said consent In m ost cases, it has done nothing but dish out self- serving interpretations o f Cov­enant provisions to our frustra­tions.

It’s not difficult to discern why such an attitude on the part o f

people attached to the huge fed­eral bureaucracy. It’s too obvi­ous that m any espouse the actual practice o f neo-colonialism as the form o f government for the N M I d e s p ite th e U .S . G overnm ent’s global com m it­m ent for human rights and de­m ocracy. T he discrepancy and inconsistency in its commitment versus its actions are far too pro­nounced as to m ake a mockery o f itself as the champion o f justice.

N ontheless, the jo in t resolu­tion is a clear and sincere expres­sion o f ou r frus (rations on a num­ber o f issues: 1.) The federal governm ent hasn’t been able to agree on a form ula to reduce its huge deficits. 2.) W ary o f this and the recent natural disasters across the nation, i.e., heat waves and flash floods; it simply means less funds for insular areas which includes the NMI.

The action o f the Governor and the Legislature in seeking fo r m ean s to finance d ire ly needed infrastructure in the NM I is to ensure that it (NM I) retains its healthy econom ic growth. Furtherm ore, their approach to resolveproblem s is deeply rooted

in Uncle Sam ’s years o f neglect in paving the way to ascertain that w e indeed have the em ­placem ent o f basic infrastruc­ture to facilitate a healthy envi­ronm ent for investm ent The

. N M I leadership’s attitude rela­tive to third country assistance illustrates positive and respon­sible leadership at its best!

I reiterate, the natural d isas­ters across the m ainland and the inability o f the national leaders to agree on a budget plan to reduce the huge federal deficit, coupled with the Persian G ulf dilem m a all indicate to us very clearly that the road to building a strong economic foundation all le ad s to w a rd s Ja p a n — th e w o rld ’s s tro n g es t econom ic power.

The federal govem m ent’sro le in this case, therefore, is to fa­cilitate our efforts so to steer clear o f placing, to our detri­ment, total reliance upon U .S. grant funds which have becom e rare if not endangered financial species for insular areas which includes the NM I.

L e t t e r s T o T h e E d i t o rDear Editor.

For the record, I would like to make certain that your read­ers understand that neither I nor the S a ip a n C h a m b e r o f Com m erce have taken a posi­tion for or against the Shimizu Kagman project.

Conflicting stories arise about MPLC 'meetingArrnrHintT to the Aug. 24 1c- V icc-spcakcr Luis Ben

by Dave HughesC onflicting inform ation has

surfaced relating to the recent signing of an amended lease be­tw een the M arianas P ublic Land C o rpo ra tion and the Shim izu C orpo ra tion for a proposed go lf course. The con­troversy is now whether a legal meeting of the land agency ac­tually occurred, o r an illegal telephone poll o f members.

According to an Aug. 24 le­gal opinion for House Speaker Pedro R . D eleon G uerrero by attorneys M aya B. K ara and Ray E. S m ith , the M P L C s ’meeting' during w hich an ap­proval was given to the lease sig n in g w as cond u c tin g by phone polling - a violation of C o m m o n w e a lth law and M PLC's ow n bylaws.

But, K ara said W ednesday that M PLC Executive Director W illiam Concepcion has sworn in a notarized affidavit that the agency's board of directors met face-to-face and "voted unani­mously" to approve the lease.

However, according to Kara

and Sm ith 's com m unication to G uerrero M PLC's legal coun­sel, B rian M cM ahon, ” . . . there w as no 'm eeting,' either inform al o r formal, regular or special o f the MPLC board for the purpose o f approving o r ratifying this 'Second A m end­ment"’

T he legal opinion further stated that "W e were told there w ere no m inutes docum enting any board 's decision on this am endm ent. Finally we were told that the board's considera­tion o f this 'Second A m end­ment' took place during various individual telephone conversa­tions among the directors."

T he tw o law yers said that based on that information from M PLC's own attorney, that the legality o f the newly-am ended lease " . . is seriously in ques­tion because the board did not com ply w ith its ow n bylaw provision requiring a 'meeting'

a t w hich a 'quorum was 'present."'

Several attem pts were made to reach C oncepcion, MPLC

attorney M cM ahon and board chairman Marian Aldan-Pierce, w ho's notarized signature ap ­pears on the amended lease.

Concepcion was off-island attending a public hearing on RoLa dealing with the SNM , Agupa and Southern Cross re­sort projects.

N um erous te lephone calls w ere made to Pierce's place o f w ork, but she did not return any ca lls and w as "out to lunch" or "unavailable."

M cM ahon did agree to an in­terview , but declined to com ­m ent on the legislative legal counsel's opinion about the meeting.

He said that the MPLC board was m eeting Friday m orning and would have to discuss the matter with them before com ­menting further.

K ara declined to provide copies o f C oncepcion's no ta­rized affidavit, saying such au ­thority would have to com e from the Speaker, and she was on her way out the door to a t­tend the Rota public hearing.

A ccord ing to the A ug. 24 le ­gal op in ion by K ara and Sm ith u nder c a se law "a co rpora tion can o n ly b ind a co rp o ra tio n w hen they arc at a legal m ee t­ing o f the board . . . at w hich they arc physically p resent. . . .in d iv id u a l m em bers can no t properly ac t outside o f a form al m eeting .

F u rth e r , th e tw o a tto rn ey s said that because no provisions arc in M P L C 's bylaw s for any type o f telephone m eeting, and if there w as only a true co n fe r­en ce call in w hich each m em ­b e r cou ld hear ihc o ther w ould m eet the criteria o f a telephonic 'm ee tin g .'

T hey a lso said tha t public policy "further supports the re ­quirem ent o f lacc-to-facc” m eet­ings fo r the purpo.se o f m aking dec is ions "o f the m agnitude o f th is one."

T he legal op in ion also said that "T he proposed am endm ent w ould change s ig n ifican t and m a teria l p ro v is io n s go ing to the very heart o f the p roposed lease itself. . . "

V icc-spcakcr L uis B cnavcntc said th is week that he had been to ld the reaso n there w as no m in u te s o f th e m ee tin g w as "that th e ir tape re c o rd e r w as b roken."

by Teri M. FloresS u p e r io r C o u r t Ju d g e

A lexandra C astro has "ex­onerated" a Palauan woman accused o f sm uggling 199 m arijuana jo in ts in to the Com monwealth.

Castro ordered the release o f M igotel A ndres, 69 and a na­tive o f Palau after the police or the A ttorney general's of­fice fa iled to f ile fo rm al charges against her in the Su­perior C ourt

Andres posted a w eekend bail o f $600 and appeared in court M onday m orning for a bail hearing. Castro said that a t the tim e o f Andres' appear­ance, no prosecution w as pre­sent.

"Som ebody is no t doing th e ir jo b . I do not know w here the ball drops, a t the p o lice o r the p rosecu tion . Somebody did not pick up the ball and for what reason, I do not know...,” Castro said.

In a court order dated Aug. 27 issued by C astro , it was ordered that the $600 bail she had posted with the Depart­ment o f Public Safety be re­turned to her as soon as pos­sible and that she be exoner­ated of the bail.

C astro said the CNM1 vs. Ram on Aguon case was the guideline used in which A n­dres’ was exonerated.

Based on the Aguon case, the police can arrest and book a suspect. A suspect can be released on the prom ise that he will appear in every court proceeding that would be con­ducted.

If the police did not apply a bail schedule or have not re­leased the suspect, he is then detained.

If the su spec t is placed u n d e r d e t e n t i o n , th e authorities are obligated to contact the attorney general or the prosecutor to look at the case , the A guon dec ision states.

The prosecution is given the discretion to either release or detain the suspect. If the suspect is detained, it is re ­quired that a judge be con­tacted anytim e betw een 6 p.m . to 10 p.m. seven days a week. The judge would then be advised as to the nature o f the case and to study the pieces of evidence involved in the case, Castro said.

The Aguon decision also stipulates that as the court is

advised on the case, the judge sets bail much higher than the bail schedule. Upon posting bail, the suspect is ordered to appear in court at 9 a.m . the next working day o f which a com plain t has already been Tiled by the AG.

Castro said that the govern­ment could still prosecute A n­dres’ by preparing a complaint and an affidavit o f probable cause.

The judge has already issued copies o f the Aguon decision to Custom s C hief Maj. Pete Reyes for distribution to his personnel.

Castro also plans to write to the C hief o f the DPS drug en fo rcem ent departm en t to distribute copies o f the Aguon decision which could help in drug related arrests.

Castro said that the Aguon decision could help Com m on­wealth law enforcement agen­cies conduct drug related ar­rests.

The exoneration of Andres is the second in two incidents that have happened w ithing 60 days. Both cases involved the release o f Palauans a t­tempting to smuggle drugs into the Commonwealth.

T he first inciden t involved the a rre s t o f the Pclilu S tate L e g is la tu re S p e a k e r E v en s K eb ck o l and a n o th e r local man a lleged to have sm uggled con tro lled substances into the C N M I.

I t w as also noted that the U .S. has willfully violated the spirit o f various provisions o f the C ovenant Agreem ent in tha t while som e substantive issues call for mutual consent, i.e., ap­proval o f federal laws which may affect the NM I, ithas gone ahead without securing our end o f said consen t In most cases, it has done nothing but dish out self- serving interpretations o f Cov­enant provisions to our frustra­tions.

I t’sno td iflicuh to discern why such an attitude on the p art o f

people attached to the huge fed­eral bureaucracy. It’s too obvi­ous that many espouse the actual practice o f neo-colonialism as the form o f government for the N M I d e s p ite th e U .S . Governm ent’s global commit­m ent for human rights and de­mocracy. The discrepancy and inconsistency in its commitment versus its actions are far too pro­nounced as to m ake a mockery o f itself as the champion o f justice.

Nontheless, the jo in t resolu­tion is a clear and sincere expres­sion o fou r frustrations on a num­ber o f issues: 1.) The federal governm ent hasn’t been able to agree on a formula to reduce its huge deficits. 2.) Wary o f this and the recent natural disasters across the nation, i.e., heat waves and flash floods; it simply means less fundsfor insular areas which includes the NMI.

The action o f the Governor and the Legislature in seeking fo r m eans to finance d ire ly needed infrastructure in the NM I is to ensure that it ( N M I ) retains its healthy econom ic growth. Furtherm ore, their approach to resolve problems is deeply rooted

in U ncle Sam ’s years o f neglect in paving the way to ascertain that w e indeed have the em ­placem ent o f basic infrastruc­ture to facilitate a healthy envi­ronm ent for investment. The

. NM I leadership’s attitude rela­tive to third country assistance illustrates positive and respon­sible leadership at its best!

I reiterate, the natural disas­ters across the mainland and the inability o f the national leaders to agree on a budget p lan to reduce the huge federal deficit, coupled with the Persian G ulf dilem m a all indicate to us very clearly that the road to building a strong economic foundation all le a d s to w a rd s Ja p an — th e w o rld ’s s tro n g es t econom ic power.

The federal govem m ent’sro le in this case, therefore, is to fa­cilitate our efforts so to steer clear o f placing, to our detri­ment, total reliance upon U .S. gran t funds which have becom e rare if not endangered financial species for insular areas which includes the NMI.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1990-MAR1ANA.S VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-- 3

Conflicting stories arise about MPLC 'meetingb y D a v e H u g h e sC o nflic ting in fo rm ation has

surfaced relating to the recent signing o f an amended lease be­tw een the M a ria n a s P u b lic L an d C o rp o ra tio n and the S h im iz u C o rp o ra tio n fo r a proposed g o lf course. T he con­troversy is now w hether a legal meeting o f the land agency ac­tua lly occurred, or an illeg a l telephone p o ll o f members.

A ccording to an A ug. 24 le­gal opinion fo r House Speaker Pedro R . D e le o n G uerrero by attorneys M a y a B . K a ra and R a y E . S m ith , the M P L C 's 'm eeting' during w hich an ap­proval was g iven to the lease s ig n in g was c o n d u c tin g by phone p o llin g - a v io la tion o f C o m m o n w e a lth la w and M P L C 's ow n bylaw s.

B u t, K a ra said W ednesday that M P L C E xecutive D irec to r W illia m Concepcion has sworn in a notarized a ffid a v it that the agency's board o f directors met face-to -face and "voted unani­m ously" to approve the lease.

H o w ever, according to K ara

and Sm ith's com m unication to G uerrero M P L C 's legal coun­sel, B rian M c M a h o n , " . . . there was no 'm eeting,' e ither in fo rm al o r fo rm a l, regular or special o f the M P L C board for the purpose o f a p p ro v in g o r ra tify in g this 'Second A m en d ­ment'"

T h e legal o p in io n fu rth er slated that "W e w ere told there w ere no m inutes docum enting any board's decis ion on this am endm ent. F in a lly w e w ere to ld that the board’s considera­tion o f this 'Second A m en d ­m ent’ took place during various ind iv idual telephone conversa­tions among the directors."

T h e tw o law yers said that based on that inform ation from M P L C 's ow n attorney, that the lega lity o f the new ly-am ended lease " . . is seriously in ques­tion because the board did not co m p ly w ith its o w n b y law provision requiring a 'meeting'

a t w h ich a 'quorum was

’present."'Several attem pts w ere made

to reach C oncepcion, M P L C

attorney M cM a h o n and board chairm an M arian A ldan-P icrce, w ho's notarized signature ap ­pears on the amended lease.

Concepcion was o ff-is la n d attending a public hearing on R o ta dealing w ith the S N M , Agupa and Southern Cross re­sort projects.

N u m ero us te lep ho ne calls w ere m ade to Pierce's place o f w o rk , but she d id not return any ca lls and was "out to lunch" or "unavailable."

M cM aho n did agree to an in ­te rv ie w , but declined to com ­m ent on the leg is la tive legal counsel's o p in io n about the m eeting.

H e said that the M P L C board was m eeting F rid ay m orn ing and w ould have to discuss the m atter w ith them before com ­m enting further.

K ara d ec lined to p ro v id e copies o f Concepcion's nota­rized a ffid av it, saying such au ­th o rity w ou ld have to com e from the Speaker, and she was on her way out the door to a t­tend the Rota public hearing.

According to the A ug . 24 le ­gal opinion by K ara and Sm ith under case law "a corporation can only b ind a corpo ra tion when they arc at a legal m eet­ing o f the board . . . at w hich they arc physically present. . . .in d iv id u a l m em bers can not properly act ouLsidc o f a form al meeting.

Furth er, the tw o attorneys said that because no provisions arc in M P L C 's bylaw s fo r any type o f telephone m eeting, and i f there was only a true confer­ence call in which each m em ­ber could hear the o ther w ould meet the criteria o f a telephonic 'm eeting.'

T hey also said that public policy "further supports the re­quirement o f face-to-face” meet­ings for die purpo.se o f m aking decisions "o f the m agnitude o f this one."

T he legal opinion also said that "The proposed am endm ent would change s ign ificant and m ateria l provis ions going to the very heart o f the proposed lease itself. . . "

V icc-spcakcr Luis Bcnavcnte said this week that he had been told the reason there was no minutes o f the m eeting was "that th e ir tape recorder was broken." But in a Thursday in ­terv iew in w hich he discussed C oncepcion ’s a ffid av it, he said that now he was told that there were m inutes o f the m eeting.

"Som eone is lying," he said.He said the s ituation w ith

M P L C has gotten so serious that he is considering asking the leg is la tu re to m eet as a w h o le , o r the g overn m en ta l operations com m ittee to con ­duct fo rm a l public hearings along the same line as those in 1988.

Those hearings investigated a lle g a tio n s made by fo rm e r C om puterland ow ner, W illia m M illa rd that he had been ap ­proached by unnam ed C N M I offic ia ls asking for bribes.

He said such drastic action m ight be necessary, including putting M P L C o ffic ia ls under oath to find out what the truth really is.

No papers filed; judge 'exonerates ' Palauanb y T e r l M . F lo re sS u p e r io r C o u r t Jud ge

A le x a n d ra C astro has "ex ­onerated" a Palauan w om an accused o f sm u g g lin g 199 m a riju a n a jo in ts in to the C om m onw ealth .

Castro ordered the release o f M ig o te l A ndres, 69 and a na­tive o f Palau a fter the police or the A tto rn ey general's o f­f ic e fa ile d to f i le fo rm a l charges against her in the Su­perior Court.

A ndres posted a w eekend bail o f $ 6 0 0 and appeared in court M o n d a y m orn ing fo r a bail hearing. Castro said that at the tim e o f Andres' appear­ance, no prosecution was pre­sent.

"S om ebody is not do ing th e ir jo b . I do not k n o w w here the b a ll drops, at the p o lic e o r the p ro secu tio n . Somebody d id not p ick up the b all and for w hat reason, I do not kno w ...,” Castro said.

In a court order dated A ug. 2 7 issued by C astro , it was ordered that the $ 6 0 0 bail she had posted w ith the D epart­m ent o f P ub lic Safety be re­turned to her as soon as pos­sible and that she be exoner­ated o f the bail.

Castro said the C N M I vs. R am on A guon case was the guideline used in w hich A n ­dres' was exonerated.

Based on the A guon case, the police can arrest and book a suspect. A suspect can be released on the prom ise that he w ill appear in every court proceeding that w ou ld be con­ducted.

I f the police d id not apply a b ail schedule o r have not re­leased the suspect, he is then detained.

I f the suspect is p laced u n d e r d e t e n t io n , th e authorities are obligated to contact the attorney general or the prosecutor to look at the case, the A g u o n d ec is io n states.

T h e prosecution is g iven the discretion to e ither release o r detain the suspect. I f the suspect is deta ined, it is re ­quired that a ju d g e be con ­tacted a n y tim e b etw een 6 p.m . to 10 p.m . seven days a w eek. The jud ge w ould then be advised as to the nature o f the case and to study the pieces o f evidence involved in the case, Castro said.

T h e A guon decis ion also stipulates that as the court is

advised on the case, the judge sets bail much higher than the b ail schedule. U pon posting b a il, the suspect is ordered to appear in court at 9 a .m . the next w orking day o f w hich a co m p la in t has a lready been filed by the A G .

Castro said that the govern­m ent could still prosecute A n ­dres' by preparing a com plaint and an a ffid a v it o f probable cause.

The judge has already issued copies o f the A guon decision to Custom s C h ie f M a j. Pete R eyes for d istribution to his personnel.

Castro also plans to w rite to the C h ie f o f the D P S drug en fo rcem en t d epartm ent to distribute copies o f the Aguon decision w hich could help in drug related arrests.

Castro said that the Aguon decision could help C om m on­w ealth law enforcem ent agen­cies conduct drug related ar­rests.

The exoneration o f Andres is the second in tw o incidents that have happened w ith in g 60 days. Both cases involved the release o f P alauans at­tem pting to smuggle drugs into the C om m onw ealth .

The first incident invo lved the arrest o f the P e lilu State L eg is la tu re S p eaker Evens K eb cko l and ano ther local man alleged to have smuggled controlled substances into the C N M I.

Court asked to find the fishBy Daw HughesW ith a straight face Superior

Court Associate Judge M arty T aylor told public defender Loretta Faymonville Thursday that she was on a "fishing ex­pedition". He said that her at­tempt to find out w hat hap­pened to several pounds o f fish "w ouldn't wash" if she a t­tempted to link them w ith the prosecution o f a m arijuana smuggling case.

Faymonville was in Taylor's court representing S im pson Elbelau, 39, o f Palau, the man nabbed by police and custom s officials last week after they opened up three o f four ice ch­ests containing fish and thou­sands of marijuana 'joints.'

Department of Public Safety officials estimated the dope's value at a quarter-million dol­

lars, but placed no value on the fish - in fac t they w ere "disposed of, but I don 't know how," Maj. Pete Reyes, chief o f CNMI custom s said on the stand.

Elbelau's attorney said that she wanted to "see the fish," and felt that their improper dis­posal was indicative o f sloppy handling o f evidence in general, including the alleged marijuana found inside three o f the four ice chests said to be her client's property when he landed in Saipan after a direct flight from Palau.

According to her request to Taylor the fish were a valuable commodity and were the right­ful property o f her client.

Taylor said he was mystified as to why the defendant would want the fish back, considering

they were perishable, but he al­low ed Faym onville to call Reyes to the stand and explana­tion what happened to the fish.

Reyes said that the fish were initially removed from the four iceboxes and were piled on the floo r. "They sure m ade a mess," he said.

The customs chief said that b lood and slim e was "getting everywhere" and he ordered the fish disposed of "in any way - 1 don 't care how."

Faymonville alleged that the fish w ere eaten by Custom s personnel o r other fish lovers unknown. "Did you take any o f the fish home and eat them," she asked Reyes.

"No," he said.Judge Taylor ruled that the

rem ains o f a fourth ice chest which did not contain any mar­

ijuana, just fish, be returned to Elbelau. One customs official, speaking from the audience, said that the chest was in lots o f pieced because they had taken it apart searching for more marijuana.

The judge said the ice chest's condition was not germ ane to the request He also said that if the defendant wanted to recover the fish's worth, i t would be a civil action - not part o f his criminal case.

Interviewed after the dec i­sion, Reyes said he felt that some of the fish had probably been eaten, but he didn’t know by whom. "All I was concerned about was getting them o ff my floor because w e had to do business the next day.”

H e also said that under the law anything used to transport

drugs, be it an ice chest o r an airplane was subject to confis­ca tio n by the governm ent. Anything contained within the carrier is also considered as seized, he said.

As to why the fish were not held as evidence, R eyes said that he did not have the facili­ties to store such perishable items.

R obert N araja and Thom as E. Sheldon representing the CNMI, stated in the com plaint, that all persons having an in­terest or claim ing to have an in terest in the m oney, to ap ­pear on the return day when a claim and an answer has been filed in court.

The AG also asked that a trial date should be set and a jury be empanelled at the trial to hear the m atter pursuant to the R ules o f Civil Procedure for the Com m onw ealth Trial C ourt, according to the com ­plaint.

T he com plain t also sta tes that in the event o f a ju ry ver­dict·, the CNMI Attorney G en­eral would be authorized to is­sue a warrant o f seizure and for­feiture on the said amount.

A judgem ent o f forfeiture to the CNM I will also be decreed against the m oney and all ac­crued in terests and that the CN M I be entitled to the costs and o ther further relief, the court docum ent states.

The $12, 378.70 was in the possession o f Leonardo Datu, who was given an actual notice o f the seizure at the tim e the currency was seized at Garapan.

T he currency w as money to be furnished for a controlled substance in transactions and is presently in storage within the ju risd ic tio n o f th e S uperior Court.

A ju ry trial, according to the AG, is necessary to determ ine w hether the money is subject to forfeiture since it has a value o f m ore than $2,000.

T he A G , according to the com plaint, said that the money is subject to forfeiture because it w as intended to b e used to purchase controlled substances.

jo in t se ss io n today as a "compromise," Speaker o f the House Pedro R. Guerrero said "I ju st w ant what's best for the p eo p le o f R o ta an d the Commonwealth."

He indignantly denied allega­tions that the failure o f his call last week for a jo in t House-Se- nate session to d iscuss land leases on R ota was a "power play on m y p a r t"

Guerrero said that he was act­ing in the assum ption tha t Se­nate P re sid en t Joseph Inos wanted to expedite the process o f considering the leases for SNM , A gupa and Southern C ross and on the fac t Inos

him self had called for such a session.

The Speaker said that he-still has "g rave concerns" about som e o f the p ro jec ts w hich will be discussed during today's session, especially the South­ern Cross plan. H e said that other m em bers o f the H ouse feel that consideration o f a pro­posed resort for such com pa­nies as Southern C ross, which "as far a s I know , " he said, "still don"t have a lease" was reckless and n o t in th e b est in­terest o f the people o f Rota.

In an Aug. 28 letter to Presi­dent Inos, G uerrero said that he appreciated his cooperation in calling today's session. But, the Speaker said that Senate's

public hearing into the three proposed leases on Rota yester­day w ere a "prom pt action," and needed.

"Onq day, however, is much

too short fo r either the Senate or the H ouse to d igest and evaluate the testim onies re­ceived," Guerrero wrote Inos in that letter.

Saying th a t he and o ther members o f the House were in support o f "long-term leg iti­mate investm ent fo r R ota and the Commonwealth." Guerrero told Inos that utmost care m ust be taken by the decisions they make in regards to the disburs­

ing o f public lands for lease.In another le tter dated the

would be m ore than willing to meet and discuss with you per­sonally any differences which may have arisen between us."

Asked about that Rota public hearing on the land lease, Guer­rero said it was not appropriate for him to comment.

During last w eek 's abortive attem pt to hold a jo in t session a "petition" signed by m ost o f R ota 's local an d C om m on­wealth leadership w as handed ou t to m em bers o f the H ouse and Senate.

That petition was aim ed at Inos and Guerrero as “presiding officers" o f the two houses. It asked that they agree to hear the three land use proposals within two w eeks o f the un­dated article.

It said that a memorandum of understanding had signed as a "mutual and unified leadership stance" to support all three pro­jects.

Signing the petition w ere 17 persons in various m unicipal and Commonwealth offices.

Coincidentally, those sam e office holders w ere the sam e ones sum m oned as w itnesses in Thursday’s public hearing on the leases.

Asked about the similarity or names, Guerrero said he didn't want to comment, but felt that there would probably be very few dissenters if the witnesses w ere the sam e persons signing the petition.

Speaker G uerrero also d e­clined to talk about a letter he sent to Rep. Antonio O. Quit- igua, chairm an o f the House Natural Resources Com mittee, and a resident o f Rota.

T hat Aug. 27 letter said that he had m any concerns about the financial makeup o f those com panies wanting to quickly obtain R ota leases o f public land and he urged public hear­ings on the ir m akeup and plans.

H e alleged that som e o f the persons listed as being part o f the com panies w ere in fact "profiteers," and not really in­terested in the growth of Rota.

"They seek only short-term gain, not long term develop­ment," he alleged.

He said Q uitigua and his committee and the Legislature " . . must not betray the trust bestowed on us by the public. W e m ust take that trust to heart w ith dignity, honor and responsibility."

Attached to Quitugua's letter was a copy o f another com m u­nication to M PLC Executive D irector W illiam Concepcion in which the speaker asked 19 questions rela ted to various com panies and individuals as­sociated with public land lease attem pts on Rota.

Guerrero was asked W ednes­day if he had received an answer from Concepcion on the ques­tions, and the Speaker said "not as o f this tim e.”

He said som e o f the sam e questions could be asked during today’s joint session.

C U C , p o w e r p la n t is w o rk in gby Ronel B. ConcepcionC om m onw ealth U tility

Corporation Executive Director Ramon S. Guerrero called for a pressconferenceTuesdaytoclarify matters affecting the situation of power in the CNMI.

H e said that accord ing to informations relayed to his office, a lot o f consumers are saying that all the power that tire feeder ‘s providing has been shut down, m ost especially feeder 3.

H e said there is nothing wrong

with thepowerplantand that CUC is ju s t w orking on the new distribution lines, transferring people from the old lines to the new lines and power has to be shut off because o f the lateral sections o f the lines in order to protect crewmen.

H e said the lines tha t we presently have on Saipan was built right after the war, and these lines arenotcapableof transporting the power generation needed to make available for everybody.

CUC can not just change the whole distribution system in the CNMI, Guerrero cited.

The executive director added that the new engines at the same time are having a performance test and that certain mechanism in the power plant has to be shut off since parts like the turbo charger has to be taken off in order to test whether the engines are really doing good.

Engine number 5 was found out to have a factory defect on

turbo charges and they are now being closely monitored by a specialist from W est Germany, the country from which turbo charger are being imported.

The engines that w e have are - the best, and they are just like any m achines that has a break-in period, one way o f taking care of the engines, he said.

H eadded that he is demanding the Mitsubishi officials, doing the performance test to stay on the Island and further monitor the

engines.Concerning the issue of raising

the power rates in connection w iththe crisis in the M iddle East, Guerrero said there is no reason why CUC should go up on the rates because o f the Kuwait-Iraq conflict

H e m en tio n e d th a t the Governor’s letter to the two fuel suppliers earlier, which was trying to ftndoutfrom them if there is any intention of increasesof fuel p ice , was based more towards gasoline rath«' than fuel oil.

He said CUChasadirect contact and was assured by Mobil, Shell and others that they don’t foresee any increase unless it is very drastic, “if a war really broke up in the M iddle E a s t”

Guerrero said that if anything really happens, “I’m willing to make use our fuel tanks which can provide supply to the powerplant for 3 months.”

Guerrero also cited that he appointed Timothy Villagomez as deputy director which “has the same capabilities that I have.”

Manglona asks DPS for tight truck safety

By Dave HughesRota Sen. Paul Manglona said

in a recent press release that he has written to the Department of P ublic Safety expressing his co n cern a b o u t the unsafe operation of heavy tractor-trailer trucks in the Commonwealth.

H e told DPS Director Gregorio M. Camacho in an Aug. 22 letter thatseveral citizenshad contacted him about the problem of tractor- trailer operators not connecting air-brake lines when operating on island streets.

Manglona said that “Should a problem develop with the front brakes when climbing a hill the trailer will disembark and fall back, crushing the cars behind it. ”

He also said that if the lines are notconnectedbrakelightson these tra ilers w ould not function , increasing the chance of a rear- end collision by any following vehicle.

Because the following vehicles would have no idea when the heavy trucks were slowing down or stopping, Manglona said “an accident is just waiting to happen.

The senator asked Camacho to order his traffic officers to spot- check passing trailer trucks and issue traffic tickets if their brake lines are not properly connected.

accident that happened a t the power plant, we just cannot put out the information unless the family are notified,” said CUC E x ec u tiv e D irec to r R am on Guerrero in response to inquiries concemingan unreported accident more than a week ago at the power p lan t

H e said tha t the accident, involving a filipino employee, whose name was not disclosed, is “very rare and happens only one in a million.”

He explained that they were working on the turbo charger on the engine when the high 2,000 PSI pressured hydraulic ran directly into the mouth o f the filipino employee a t a distance of about 3 feet which punctured some wounds into his mouths

Then he was treated and after recovering, CUC took him back to the P hilippines to further monitor his health and to see if anything else is needpd, Guerrero said.

CUC officials, who went to the Philippines met with doctors of Sl Luke’s Hospital, and one Dr. Simpson, anEEN T specialist who examined the victim said that the Saipan doctors did a good job on the treatment afforded the filipino victim, Guerrero said.

G uenero mentioned that the Filipino employee was advised by the doctor to have 3 weeks of rest period before going back to w ork on Saipan.

Guerrero likewise explained that when the accident occurred, he was attending a meeting in San Francisco with theEnvironmental Protec tion Agency about the strict regulations concerning the Clean A ir A ct and the EPA administrative order that notifies CUC of not complying to the said a c t

He said that “I posed that as a legal question, that should be required to be included in the 902 negotiations between the US and theCN M I.”

The direction o f the prevailing winds is westerly, and he contends that if EPA says there is pollution com ing out from the exhaust system, then everything should be going west to the Philippine Sea where there is a lot o f distance between the other countries there.

A videotape on the power plant and the exhaust system was shown to EPA officials indicating that “we don’t have pollution here in the Pacific.”

M o n u m e n t h o n o r i n g m a r i n e s p r o p o s e dB y D a v e H u g h e s

• Guy G abaldon, one o f the Com m onw ealth's best-know n W W II veterans, said this week that thanks to the generosity of the CNM I Contractor's Associ­ation his dream of a m onum ent to honor the 4 ,000 M arines w ho d ied fig h tin g to free Saipan is a little closer to R e­ality.

He also said that the gov­ernm ent has approved a request for the site and has given him the go-ahead to plan on a 1,600 square-foo t ed ifice in B each Park, near the former House of Representatives.

G abaldon said that CN M I Contractors Association P resi­dent Dick Zum iel recently vol­unteered the labor and expertise o f that organization to erect the monument.

He said that offer was the an­sw er to m any prayers because the donated labor and profes­sional experience o f the con­tractors "would have been one o f the m ajor expenses."

The m onum ent has been a labor o f love for Gabaldon over the years, he said, and the prof­its from his new book about the Battle o f Saipan has helped pu t a little m oney into the m onum ent k itty . "I 've g o t about $8,000 now, he said,"but it's going to take m any tim es that amount."

Saipan's m onum ent w ill be like the Vietnam M onum ent in W ashington, DC in th a t the nam es o f the "Fallen 4,000" as he calls them - men from the Second and Fourth M arine Di­visions and the 27 th Arm y Di­vision will be carved into gran­ite.

But, the d e s ip has not been set, Gabaldon said. "It w on't be exactly like the one in W ash­ington - it will be m ore like the one I heard about in Sacra­

m ento, C alifornia. T hat one lists the fallen in action for the area and the names are inscribed on separate slabs o f granite o r marble,

There is a central bronze statue and four others a t each comer, he said.

Final determ ination will be done from draw ings supplied by a local firm , Cody and A s­sociates, he said.

Torres, CUC sign land access agreem ent

i

Congressman Stan Torres (center) signs the land easm ent agreement to let CUC pum p the Iresh water from spring on his land. Witnessing the ceremony are (L-R) Lt. Gov. Benjamin Mangbna, Rep. Jesus Attao, Ray Guerrero, Stan and Gov. Lorenzo I. Guerrero.

A fter literally years o f trying to g ive aw ay som ething 0 f value to the governm ent, Rep, Stanley Torres' g ift o f water to the peop le was finally m ade a reality Tuesday.

W ith the stroke o f th ree pens, the Com m onwealth U til­ities C orporation w as deeded what Torres called a "sweet w a­ter spring" to CU C so tha t constituents on Chalan K iya, Oleai, G ualo R ai, Puerto R ico, upper and low er N avy H ill and other p a rts o f Saipan w ould have better quality water.

Signing the agreem ent in a Tuesday cerem ony in the gov­ernor's office was Torres, CU C Executive D irector R ay G uer­rero, G ov. Lorenzo I. deLeon Guerrero.

Also attending the ceremony w ere L l G ov. B enjam in T, M anglona and R ep. Jesus T. Attao.

The 100-by-100 parcel o f land ow ned by Torres contains the spring , from w hich thou­sands o f gallons o f w ater can be pum ped - free o f charge to CUC, according to a press re­lease about the gift.

T orres sa id his attem pt to m ake the g ift began in 1986 when h e m ade the proposal to then-Lt. G ov. Pedro A. G uer­rero . H e said tha t using the spring w ould help alleviate som e o f the w ater problem in p lace a t that time.

A ccording to the press re ­lease "no substantial action" during the three years since his initial offer, but he kep t a t it.

Torres then gave CU C offi­cials a helicopter tour o f the property earlier th is year and the utility officers liked w hat they saw - agreeing to his p ro­posal.

U nder the agreem ent CUC will - a t its own expense - do the surveying w ork and assume other custodial costs and in ­demnify Torres from suit in the event o f accident. In exchange the utility m ay erect and oper­

ate a w ell, pum p station and tank - o r an y o ther rela ted equipm ent

The press release said that CU C officials will explore the area before year's end, but no tim etable for drilling w ells o r equ ipm ent erection w as re ­vealed

T hursday in the C om m on­w e a lth S u p re m e C o u r t regarding w hether the 1988 m urder conviction o f M ariano M endiola should be overturned because o f faulty evidence.

This court appearance w as ju s t another o f a string w hich began earlier this year. A three- judge federal appeals panel at that time handed down a verdict which reversed the murder con­viction and ordered a new trial.

T hat panel also ordered a set o f pictures taken by police de­p ic ting the m urder o f G alen M ack and Rem idos Conley in w hich M endio la p layed the "murderer" be suppressed as ev­idence. They also ordered that a hearing be held on his mental ability undergo d ia l and also whether the confession he gave was admissible.

Questions about the confes­sion revolved around the court's decision that M endiola w as borderline mentally retarded and thus could not understand what the confession said.

It was later determ ined that he could neither read or write.

H earings w ere held that de­te rm in e d he w as m e n ta lly com petent to stand tr ia l, but before a decision could be made about the ad m iss ib ility o f the c o n fe s s io n s , th e C N M I Suprem e C ourt issued a " W rit o f P ro h ib itio n " to S u p e rio r C o urt Presiding Judge R obert H efner. T hat docum ent ordered H e fn e r not to take any further action on the case.

T h e h igh cou rt said that since they had sole ju r is d ic ­tions on appeals a fter M a y 2 , 1989 any decision reached by the three-judge panel was null and void.

A n appeal was filed by M cn - dio la 's attorney. L ec ia Eason and Thursday hearing was the First step in her attem pt to se-

cure a new trial for Mendiola.She told C hief Justice Jose

S. Dela Cruz, Associate Justice Jesus C. B orja and S pecial Ju d g e L arry L. H illb lo m T hursday th a t they shou ld thoroughly examine her client's m ental abilities and w hether the police used his shortcom ­ings to their advantage in sign­ing the confession.

Eason said would a reason­able man believe that M endiola could read what the confession said, much less understand it.. She said the "circum stances o f the confession" w ere ques­tionable.

Justice Borja asked Eason why the defense council didn't bring up the problem o f his

client's mental problem s. "Had he been exam ined?” he asked Eason.

N ow -Judge M arty T ay lo r was the public defender who initially represented M endiola, and she said that the only ac­cess to any clinical reports she knew o f was one that had been done on another case - the so- called "Taro-Sue Case."

She alleged that M endiola had been "coerced and deceived" in to signing the confession in a tacit m anner by police. She didn 't allege that he had been beaten or threatened, but "other means" had been used.

Because o f the focus Eason put on the literacy o f M endi­ola, Hillblom attempted several

tim es to get Eason to denounce a hand-draw n m ap allegedly done by M endiola, showing the crim e scene.

W hen she declined to do so, Hillblom questioned why some parts o f die picture had the nam es o f autom obiles spelled correctly . He questioned how som eone w ho could neither read not write could do that.

She had no answer.H e also questioned why E a­

son w as ag a in s t the p h o ­to g rap h s . Ju s tice H illb lom asked is she felt the police had "staged the photographs and pu t M endiola in them where they wanted him to back up his confession."

Ju stice Borja said that he

could see how pho tographs could be inflam m atory if actors were used in them - especially if victim s w ere portrayed "with b lood o o z in g fro m th e ir wounds." But, he said the p ho­tos in troduced by the po lice were fairly static.

M en d io la 's a tto rn ey a lso questioned the need for the in­troduction o f photographs into e v id e n c e . 'T h e y w e re n 't needed," she said, based on the police's alleged confession.

Justices w ere still hearing argum ents a t press tim e, but the usual course is that they will not m ake an im m ediate decision, but "take the m atter under advisem ent" and issue an opinion at a later date.

SablanattendsVolcanoMonitoringcourse inHawaii

Joaquin M. (Jack) Sablan, Chairman o f the Northern M ar­ianas C ollege (NM C) Science D epartm ent, recently returned from a six-week course in Vol­cano M onitoring M ethods, o f­fered at the center for the study o f ac tive volcanoes on the cam pus o f the U niversity o f Hawaii. A ttending the course with Sablan was Ray Chong o f the CN M I Civil D efense O f­fice, an N M C press release stated.

T h e c o u r s e , t i t l e d "Scismological and G eochem i­cal M onitoring", was designed to train individuals from coun­tries where active volcanoes arc located. The objective was to m ake it possib le for these countries to be able to collect the baseline data necessary to forecast eruptions. The m eth­ods em ployed are those cu r­rently in use at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and at the Cascades Volcano Observatory (in W ashington State, location o f the 1983 eruption o f Mount St. H elens), the press release said.

"Right now we arc depending on scientists from Hawaii and the U.S. m ainland to help us w ith m onitoring, forecasting, and m aking health and safety recommendations regarding the volcanic activity on our nolh- ern islands," sta ted Sablan. "This training is a first step in allowing the GNMI to eventu­ally assum e those responsibili­ties. Som etim e in the future," he continued , "NM C would like to have the capability to provide the research and moni­toring of local volcanic activ­ity, and allow the Civil D e­fense D epartm ent to carry out the ir fu n ctio n s re la tin g to health and safety m atters, and the potential for evacuations."

Sablan noted in the press re­lease, that some progress is be­ing made with regard to the ac­quisition o f m onitoring equip­ment. NM C is about to pur­chase a portable m onitoring system sim ilar to the one now being used at the CNMI Civil D efense Office. The real need, however, is for m ore sophisti­cated — and ex p en siv e — equipm ent that w ould allow placem ent o f a seism om eter on each o f the northern islands that could send constant seis­m ic inform ation to a central m onitoring station on Saipan. "Until perm anent equipm ent is p la ce d on th o se is lands," Sablan concluded, "it's really not safe for people to b e liv in g up there."

for the financing” of an expanded power plant by CUC.

The resolution was voted to be deffered pending the senate members contention to hear CUC officials’ position first to clearly see the need for the approval o f the measure.

The res. states that CUC needs tw o m ore thirteen m egaw att generators “to secure a reliable electric power system for the peop le o f S aipan” w hich is estimated to cost around $21 M including the construction and n eed ed ac ce sso rie s fo r its completion.

The res. provided that CUC will pay back the loan through installments over a seven-year period.

The res. further provided that CUC has the “legal authority to borrow money fiom any public or private source.”

CUCexecutivedirec tor Ramon Guerrero said that “W e need an approval o f the joint resolution to approve CUC to loan the money, since wearegiven the opportunity to borrow the money on a yearly payment.”

Guerrero in a letter sent to both leaders o f the House, indicated C U C ’s p ro jec ttio n fo r the incoming fiscal years. It said that for fiscal years 1991 through 1995 based at 85% collection, CUC will realize an additional revenue o f $46.4 M.

It further said that for fiscal year 1990 also, CUC foresees a revenue co llec tio n both for re s id e n tia l, com m ercial and CNM I governm ent at $28 M adding that there venue projection does not include the Islands of Rota and Tinian.

The letter said that CUC is “very optim istic this projection will ju s t i fy ” the le g is la tu re ’s

requirement to pass res. 7-9.Guerrero said there really is a

dire need for the expansion o f the pow er plant based on C U C ’s pro jec tion fo r “fu tu re m ajor p ro jec ts and hom esteads on S a ip a n ” based on ac tu a l » p lic a tio n s from C o asta l R esou rces M anagem ent and M arian as P ub lic L ands Corporation on files.

H e said in the le tte r tha t c a lc u la tio n s a re based on estim ated load factor on the applications submitted to CRM and projected by total amount of KVA to be used.

He cited in his letter that Nikko S hopp ing C en te r peeds 3 megawatts, High Bridge Hotel 3 m egaw atts, Aqua R esort 600 KVA, Coral O cean P o in t, 1 megawatt, Pacific Island Club, 2 megawatt, Achugao Resort phase I 758 KVA and phase II 1.5 megawatts, which totals to almost 12 megawatts.

The proposed homesteads at M arp i, K agm an 11, M1HA Relocation Koblerville, MPLC Koblerville and Dan Dan which totals to about 1,975 lots needs about 10 megawatts and other proposed projects for which load information is unknown needs about 12.5 megawatts, the letter stated.

Law office open on Tnian

The first office o f law firm to be located on the island of T inian will be opened by the S aipan law firm o f H ill & Sawhncy, according to press re­lease from the firm.

The office that formally will be opened on Sept. 13 is lo ­cated on the second floor o f the A rizapa B u ild ing , near the C ourthouse , in San Jose v il­lage, Tinian. Initially, the o f­fice will be open for business every Friday and on the second Thursday o f each month when the C ourt sits in T inian, the press release said.

Joe Hill and V.K. Sawhncy form ed a partnership for the general practice of law on July 1, 1990. H ill has practiced law in the CN M I since 1979 as an Assistant Attorney General and R egistrar o f Corporations, and as a private practitioner. Sawh- ney practiced law in Portland, O reg o n an d w as on the W illam ette U n iversity Law School faculty before com ing to the C N M I in D ecem ber, 1989. W hile a t the law school, he was a supervising attorney in the c lin ical program tha t p rov ided legal assistance to O regon's prison population.

Hall was accompanied by Red Cross volunteer Sheryl Camacho and Liberation Day fund raising .campaign chairman Martin Ada.

“The money is going to be utilized for worthy community projects. I think it would be of help in teaching first aid in ele­mentary schools, especially since the R ed Cross has a basic aid

training program,” said Hall.Inmaking thedonation,M ayor

Guerrero said, “I hope that the money would be judiciously dis­tributed to non-profit organiza­

Drivers passing by the Pacific Islands Club-Saipan resort in San Antonio for the past two years since it opened have noticed increasingly lush and tropical gardens and well- tended lawns on the grounds.

The PIC-Saipan gardens and lawns aren't the only things getting better with age. 66- year-old Geroncio "Gerry" Dela Cruz isn't doing so badly himself and he's the man in charge of making the grounds look their best, according to press release from PIC.

First class work in tending his gardens led to Dela Cruz' selection as July Employee-of- the-Month by PIC.

Dela Cruz, a Garapan resident, has been working for PIC-Saipan for almost two

Carrying his shoes for a speedier escape from mom, simpering second grader Vincent Sablan make a dash for freedom at the Garapan Elementary School grounds.

■ Continued from page 1

Valerie Kapilco.asenior student said she was surprised at the great increaseof theschool’snum bcrof students.

“ I t ’ s pretty crowded now with so many new faces around. The freshmen are being moved in with those from grade 11 and 12. The freshmen are unusually short, m aybe because they ’ re much younger. W ith the new teachers around, 1 think it ’s going to be a great year.”

S ophom ore M o n ic a H o , a Korean national and a transfer student from Hopw ood Junior H ig h S choo l e x c la im e d , “ Marianas High is big and nice. I ’ve met a friend who comes from my country. I expect to learn much from this school.”

Sixteen year old L a ila Younis was surprised but managed to say, “This is a nice school. I think everybody loves being back after a two-month lu ll.”

From M H S , we moved on to Hopwood Junior High where its very accomodating principal,Tom Pangelinan said there are 850 studcnLs divided in to438 seventh graders and 412 eight graders.

“Fifteen new teachers have been added to our regular staff. Some came off-island w hile the others area on-island from other schools. W ith their presence, our high expectations would be easier to achieve,” said Pangelinan.

“ I expect some more late reg- istranLs, w ithin this week. 1 know that many w ill be coming from other schools.”

Sam McPhetcrs, a 12-ycar old seventh grader under the class of G ary Curley said, “This is m y first day here and I think it ’s a pretty interesting place. I expect big challenges academically soon . I say 'T w o thum bs u p ’ fo r Hopwood.”

P re tty M ic h e lle R o m is h e r described her first day in school as a bit jittery. “ I felt nervous for a time. 1 was given the choice by my parents whether to go to Grace C h ris tia n H ig h S ch oo l or H opw ood . I chose H opw ood because m y older sister used to study here. I ’ ve met a few friends and hope to make soon.”

CUC delinquencies . . .Continued from page 1

$67,054.20.$42,833 o f that total is listed as

being 90 days ex more overdue.The (ist goes on-and-on, with

almost all the island’s major hotels right up there at the top with delinquent bills.

For exam ple the top power deadbeat on CU C’s list is the Nikko Hotel, with a $184384 bill

w ith $86,924 only 30 days overdue as o f July 31.

According to the July 31 billing the Nikko’s last power bill was for $98,180, but the Hyatt’s bill was zero - with a 90-day past-due balance of $ 106,275.

The Diamond was also on the delinquent list to the tune of $104,000 and change - with $42,833 m ore than 90 days overdue. According to CUC’s figures that hotel usually runs about a $20,000 monthly power bill.

M ost o f the major retailers on island have balances, including the J.C . T enorio stores. The highest such bill for Joeten was for the Susupe supermarket which has a power bill of $52,200 - with $17,482 being 90 days or more past due. Their current billing as o f July 31 was $13,879.

Pay Less was in the red for a total o f $42395, but late pay­ments were only 60 days late, according to the billing.

The Nauru Building’s July 31 power bill was for $53,953 - but it only had a 30-day balance of about $24,000.

MTC ’ s delinquent power bill is the third highest - with a total of $ 104,969. $42,833 of that amount is 90 days ex more late, and their July bill was $18355.

The listing was shown to CUC assistant controller in charge of billings and collections, Denver Alcazar, for confirmation. He said “the status o f those accounts is still under study right now and we are still analyzing the correctness o f the balances up to now.”

Hesaid that CUCis still looking at the “accurateness” o f die figures because “ th a t ba lance w ere accumulated from the previous operation years o f CUC.”

He said there are “some ac­counts that needs reconciliation first before we really come out with the final listing.”

When asked tocommenton the “con fiden tia l lis tin g ” w hich showed that the Administration building of the Governor’s office is delinquent o f $17,290.00, A lcazar ex p la in e d th a t the administration office “is a very good example of what we are doing, which only proves that the listing needs to be reconciled.”

Government buildings, as one of CUC’s customer is being billed based on commercial rates, are totally out o f the picture because “CUC is the one who still have to

pay them,” he said.He explained that the gov­

ernment is paying their billing “by offsetting the advances that they made to CUC.”

There were advances made by the CNMI governm ent when CUC started operations 1987-88 for fuel cost, he said.

He said that CUC now is “doing som e co rre c tio n s and clarifications” that if the con­sum ers fee l th a t the b ill is inaccurate, “they have to feel free to come here and show their version.”

He said that the errors has something to do with the creation of CUC,“like som eof the standing accounts even prior to 1987 has been added to our computer and nobody has the ability to delete those balances from our records and that is why it is added here.”

A nother reason why CUC needs to p ro v e accuracy is “because our computer system is not really that effective” saying that by next fiscal year, CUC will buy new computer system and “we have to reconcile this first before we put it into the new system.”

CU C E x ec u tiv e D irec to r Ramon Guerrero, when asked to comment on the “confidential listing” likewise remarked that one “must understand that wehave serious problem before CUC came into existence because of the meter readings where a lot of custom ers com plain on their billings”

He cited one problem con­cerning the billing they have for KSAI which is run by generator.

Guerrero m entioned that he “does not agree” with the CT meter because all of the house and business have meter bases in their buildings and “I don’t see any reasons why a CT meter on the pole is needed when we can slapped it right on the individual buildings of people, commercials and residential.”

He said CUC is now installing regular based type meter in the b u ild in g s an d o ther e s tab lish m e n ts to avoid “confusions”.

Theexecutivedirectorsaid that the Governor is already paid and that the size o f the house does not matter, what matters most is the way one uses power.”

Alcazar said that CUC has started disconnections of meters with 90 days delinquency and by next week they will focus on 60 days, depending on manpower available for disconnection.

He added that before discon­nections are made, notices are sentfirsttodelinquentcustomers.

But, he said those who do not adhere to the payment schedule will lose that benefit and be cut off.

her previous statements.The jury also found that Oden

was not guilty of contempt since he had a copy o f a valid court order entered on July 17.

It was was proven to the ju ry by prosecutor Ed Manibusan that the victim knew who Charlie was because a flashing light coming from outside the bedroom enabled her to recognize Oden.

The victim said that she was lying cm the floor when Oden picked her up, laid her on the bed and had contact with her.

During the hearing, O ldiais N giraikelau w ho represented Oden in the case, reminded the jury to separate their feeling of sym pathy because a child is involved in the case.

Several d iscrepancies were raised by Ngiraikelau which he said could affect the decision of the jury.

Ngiraikelau said that based on the testimony o f the Atalig, the incident occured in 1988 while the victim said that it occured in1989.

Ngiraikelau said that Atalig and the victim w ere p o in tin g at different locations indicating how they were positioned on the bed at the time the incident occured.

The jury was also reminded that the motive of Atalig was to get back at Oden who wanted her out

o f his home.“She was mad at Charlie and

she had nowhere to go but to Charlie,” Ngiraikelau said.

Oden was released and was ordered by Taylor to surrender his travel documents and his driver’s license.

Taylor said that the case has already been reported to the adult probation for a presentencing report. The probation office will evaluate the case and could either recommend if Oden is amenable for treatment.

Oden said that he would make an appeal, when asked about his feelings on the way the trial was conducted.

“I am shocked. Its the last time I’m going to see the green trees and the blue skies,” Oden said when asked to comment on the ju ry’s decision.

“They’re going to kill me there. I know it...” Oden said referring to his possible incarceration in the Susupe jail.

FRIDAY , AUGUST 31,1990 - MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS—S I

Johannes adapts well to U.S. gamesHO NO LU LU (AP) - Foot­

ball is not very popular on the Federated States o f Micronesia. It's a lso not played the same way it is in America.

S till, H iroshy Johannes has adapted w ell to the American version o f the game.

Johannes, 16, plays for tiny Henry O pukahaia School on H aw aii Is lan d . T h e school fielded a team for the first time last year, losing all eight o f its games.

T he 5 - fo o t- l l , 225-pound

junior played in every play of every game. He was a center on offense, a nose tackle on de­fense and a member o f the spe­cial teams.

"I ju s t play the gam e," he said. "I don 't care w hat the score is. If we lose, w e lose. I go for football."

Johannes never saw a foot­ball gam e un til he cam e to Hawaii, as there is no satellite television coverage o f the sport on K osrae Island, one o f four islands that com prise the Fed­

erated States o f Micronesia.There are no official teams

there. Johannes said he and his friends read about football in magazines and enjoyed a kind o f "play-around" football. Real football, he said, is "way d if­ferent from the way we played.. . it's not even close."

He also played baseball for the school. In his first appear­ance for the school, he struck out 19 batters after telling the coach he would try pitching. "I'll g ive it a shot," he an ­

swered when asked to pitch.Players for the football team

com e from the th ree island cam puses tha t com prise the school. They were bused twice a week to a field to practice last season; the rest o f the lim e players from each campus prac­ticed separately and cam e to­gether on game day.

T h is year the 10 p layers from the Kona cam pus, the six from the Keeau cam pus and the four from the North K ohala campus are meeting three times

a week in W aim ea to hone their skills.

Last season was one to r e ­m em ber for the Eagles. T he team was ou tscorcd 419-18, and lost games by scores o f 12- 0 and 79-6. Still, school p rin ­cipal W ayne Lantz called the seasons a success, saying the record doesn’t truly indicate the team ’s ability.

"W c took a bunch of ill- trained kids and worked hard all season and when they left the field in November,

J u d g e o rd e rs b a n o n tu n a im p o rtSAN FR A N C ISC O (AP) -

A federal judge has ordered a ban on im ports o f tuna caught by five nations until they can show that they are no t killing m ore dolphins than U .S. law allows.

U .S D istric t Judge Thelton Henderson on Tuesday said the Bush adm inistration had given foreign fleets too much time to comply with a 1988 federal law requiring an em bargo o f any nation w hose dolphin-killing rate was m ore than tw ice the rate of the U.S. tuna flee t

The law provided for an em­bargo at the end o f 1989 unless the Com m erce Departm ent had determined that a nation's dol­phin kill ra te w as under the limit, Henderson said. T he de­partm ent contended it was enti­tled to evaluate figures submit­

ted by each nation from 1989, an assessm en t tha t has not been completed.

"Under the agency's interpre­tation, it is the dolphins and dom estic fisherm en, no t the foreign governments, who bear the burden o f the foreign gov­ernments' late production o f ev­idence," Henderson wrote.

"The continued slaughter and destruction o f these innocent v ictim s o f the econom ics o f Fishing constitutes an irrepara­ble injury to us all."

August Felando, president o f the A m erican Tunaboat A sso­ciation , th e largest group o f U .S .-flagged tuna boats, said the embargo could have serious consequences.

"W hat it can do is really d is­ru p t the supply o f tuna the U .S. canners," F elando said.

"The U.S. fisherm en cannot supply all the tuna that’s re­quired for the U.S. market."

He said foreign boats caught 46 percen t o f the light-m eat tuna canned by U.S. companies last year, and all o f the foreign- canned tuna, w hich m ade up about a third o f the U.S. mar­ket.

Som e com m ercial fish ing fleets deliberately drop their nets on dolphins, which swim about yellowfin tuna, to lim it the deaths o f dolphins caught in the nets, U.S. iaw requires posting o f observers on tuna boats to m onitor preservation efforts.

U.S. law cannot directly reg­ulate foreign fishing practices in in ternational w aters. T he law, am ended most recently in 1988, forbids imports o f tuna

caught by nations that do not meet prescribed limits for their dolphin kills: tw ice the U.S. rate by the end o f 1989, and 1.25 tim es the U.S. rate by the end of 1990.

A National Marine Fisheries Service o ffic ia l testified to Congress last m onth that for­eign dolphin kills last year rose by over 40 percent to 84,000, while U.S. kills dropped to 12,643.

The Com m erce Departm ent argued that the law required it only to com pile inform ation from foreign governm en ts, which was submitted to a July 31 deadline, and decide whether each country m et the legal standard.

But an environm ental group called the Earth island Institute contended the law required an

embargo of any nation that had not shown it met the lim it by the end o f last year, and Hen­derson agreed.

Henderson said an em bargo should have gone into effect at the end o f 1989, to be lifted only as the C om m erce D e­partment determined, based on docum entary ev idence from each nation, that its dolphin kill rate was below the limit.

The United S tates, the only country that regulates dolphin m ortality in connection with fishing, allows a maximum o f 20,500 deaths and stations ob ­servers on board all U .S.- fiagged vessels to verify the number of deaths.

Two For The Road AthleteBy Lily O. R am o sOne is man is normal, the other

one is handicapped.Both are excellent Filipino

sportsm en; G reg G uzom in basketball and Ben Aison in bowling. Both men are expa­triates but they do not have re­grets.

Guzom used to be a pro ball

p la y e r in the P h ilip p in e Basketball Association, the only one o f its kind in Asia and second only to the US NBA league.

“1 was with Tefilin from 1980- 83. When the firm gave up its franchise in the late part of 1983, I left for the US to live in San Francisco before moving toGuam three years later.

Ben Aison, one-armed bowler of the third-running RB Electrical & Construction team aims for a strike at the PBA tournament.

1 packed up my bags and came over to Saipan in 1988 before returning to G uam last year,” said Guzom who starred in the recent Mobil Oil-01’ Aces exhibition game last week at the Civic Center Gym.

A former national player and an Yco starter in the early 80s, Guzom said he now plays basketball for physical fitness since his doctor told him he should exercise daily to keep his heart strong.

He has been told to keep away from food containing cholesterol if he wants to live longer and maintain an ideal weight for his own health.

“I miss playing in the PBA but 1 have a family to feed and plenty of young talents were already ready to takeover at the time when I was still active.

I felt I had more than enough of hard banging and crashing in 1983 so I stopped playing and sought fora more stable job abroad,” said Guzom to a group o f Filipinos who still remember him during his glory days.

The former hotshot still packs a mean wallop in his hands but he

has slowed down considerably due to age.

“A man should know when his peak is over, like a car, a m an’s body is subjectto breakdown,” he told his countrymen.

Ben Aison, on the other hand, was a hopeful young man with no physical handicap when he came to Saipan in 1968 as a heavy eq u ip m en t o p e ra to r fo r the International Bridge Corporation.

In 1982, the payloader he was operating m alfunctioned and pinned down the right side of his body.

“The pain was frightfully in­tense as my right arm up to the ball joint fell off. I don’t even remember how my four fingers on the left hand got crushed.

F o r m any d ay s , I w as hospitalized in Guam because the medical facilities on Saipan was inadequate at that ,” said Aison.

Having been handicapped, he losthisem ploymentbuthestarted receiving SSS pension from the US government while his wife went back to work as a kitchen helper at the Dai-Ichi Hotel

The tragicaccidentdidnotstop him from bowling, a sport he loved so much before losing his arm.

Told by an American doctor that he should exercise his four fingers by bowling, Aison became more adept at it, turning into a southpaw in 1988 when he staged a rousing comeback.

H e has been averaging 170 and even went up to 222 until pain started botheringhisrightshoulder which needed massage every night.

“I ’m a fellow who never gives up. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. There are many beautiful things to do and enjoy in this life,” he said.

As a proof o f his determina­tion, Aison was given the Bowler o f the Month award last May.

He also captured the highest triple score o f the m onth by averaging 548 in three games and placed third in the All-Filipino Bowling tournament last month.

“If you look at Ben, he’s our real handicap player. But there’s one thing about him, he’s a most valuable bowler to RB Electrica & Construction Team.’”
