Court reverses appeal in favor of Wiseman

By Teri M . FloresThe United States Court of

Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has reversed the decision of the U.S. District Court’s ap­pellate division and reinstated the judgem ent o f the Commonwealth Trial Court granting judgcmcntagainst the Bank of Guam on the bank’s suitagainst David Wiseman as alleged guarantor of a $35,000 note indcfault., The judges however re­versed the appellate division’s

decision regarding the payment of attorney’s fees to Wiseman because they believed that “no sufficient evidence was found suggesting that it was a frivolous lawsuit.”

In a Sept.27 opinion, Circuit Judges Farris, TTiompson and Trott said that it was sufficiently clear to the trial court that the lawsuitfiledbytheBankofGuam against Wiseman,as guarantorof the $35,000 made by Rainbow Center “was frivolous.”

2-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VffiWS - TUESDAY - OCTOBER 9,1990FO RUM A Meeting Place For Ourand Yours

Interior Secretary may meet with Palau officialsBy: Howard GravesHONOLULU (AP)— Interior

Secretary ManuelLujanwillmeet next Tuesday with Palau leaders in Washington for a final discus­sion of a controversial draft sec­retarial order which proposes tighter fiscal and management controls over the western Pacific island government’s operations.

Themeetingiscontingentupon the U.S. government still being in operation and on whether the Palauan delegation can make the 10,000-mile trip in time. ,

As of Saturday morning, Palau time, Palau’s government had not received formal notification of the meeting, said spokesmen for President Ngiratkel Etpison and

Vice President Kuniwo Nakamura. Palau is west of the international date line.

The White House ordered the federal government to close down midnight Friday, Washington time, when the U.S. Congress rejected a budget package for the new fiscaFyear.

Cong. Del. Ron del Lugo, D- VI., earlier in the week asked Lujan to hold the meeting. He is chairman of the Interior subcom- mitteeon insular and international affairs. The subcommittee has oversight over the Interior Department’s administrative af­fairs in U.S. territories and Palau, the world’sonlyU.N. trusteeship.

Palauan leaders on Thursday

wrote Lujan asking him to delay issuance of the secretarial order for a week so that they could meet with him.

' .In the letter, the leaders said, “We want to assure you that the leadership of Palau is willingand, indeed, thinks it would be very helpful to have a new secretarial order as soon as possible, if such order wouldlay out theprocedures for tackling the problems facing Palau.”

The letleralso said, “...we would hope that the order would more clearly outline the objectives of theU.S. stewardshipofourislands than the last draft did.”

The letter said a meeting in Guam last month with Assistant

Interior Secretary Stella Guerra on a revised secretarial order “was in preparation — and not in con­stitution — for the meeting with you.”

The Guam meeting was the third since June on the proposed order, which must be approved and signed by Lujan.

The order calls for Interior to put a full-time representative in the island chain with an estimated 15,000 residents.

The representative would con­trol all of Palau’s national, state and local laws.

Interior has been under pres­sure from Congress, including de Lugo, to exercise more oversight and budgetary controls onPalau’s

government operations. During fiscal 1990, Palau received nearly· $15 million in U.S. funds for gov­ernment operations.

The proposed secretarial order would replace one implemented in 1987 which terminated a high commissioner’s officeandshifted the responsibilities to the assistant Interior secretary for territorial and international affairs. Ms. Guerra hasheld thatpostabout 15 months.

ThePalauletter to Lujan asking for the meeting was signed by Etpison, Nakamura, Senate President Joshua Koshiba, House Speaker Shiro Kyota, paramount traditional leader Yutaka M. Gibbons and Sedang Silmai, who represents Palau’s 16 state gov­ernors.

Mutiny over, but threat of m ilitary takeover undiminished

By R o b e rt H . ReidAssociated Press W riterMANILA, (AP)— The collapse

of a military revolt on Mindanao island offers no guarantee that unrest in the ranks will stop unless President Corazon Aquino solves majorproblems facing the nation, analysts believe.

More importantly, there is a grpwing feeling that the system Mis. Aquino installed after the 1986 “people power revolution” toppled the late Ferdinand Marcos is cumbersome and unresponsive.

The latest uprising ended Sat­urday. Renegae Col. Aleaxander Noble surrendered two days later after seizing military garrisons in two cities and proclaiming inde­pendence for thecountry’s second largest island.

Some government officials feared Noble aimed to trigger uprisings elsewhere in the archi­pelago, culminating in yet another coup attempt.

Mrs. Aquino and her staunch­est advisers dismiss the seven military revolts that have btoken outduringher41/2 years in office

as simply attempts to “grab power” and crush democracy.

But many prominent politi­cians, commentators and business leaders feel the conspirators have raised valid issues, although there is widespread suspicion of their motives and methods.

These include favoritism in military promotions, goveme- ment corruption, poverty and the failure to provide basic services in this land of 60 million people.

‘There is no guarantee that some other dissatisfied, disgusted and idealistic officers and men will follow the way of the rebel because the root causes of the coups and mutinies have not been addressed or eradicated,” wrote commentator Luis Beltran in the Manila Standard.

“Until those root causes are removed, the Aquino adminis­tration will continue as an ac­cident ready to happen—and it happen it will,” he added.

Following the December coup attempt—the bloodiest yet more than 100 people were killed. Mrs. Aquino appointed a commission

to determine why the rebellions have occured. Ironically, the commission released its reporton thursday—the day Noble launched his rebellion.

In an interview with the Phil­ippine News and Features syndi­cate, commission member Delfin Lazaro said pro-coup sentiment existed in at least 12 major units within the 160,000-member armed forces.

“It appears that coups are still likely to happen,” Lazaro said, government must demonstrate to disaffected military groups that “it is concerned about the issues being raised.

“The reason why they (troops) are involved is because they are uninvolved in peace and order and (the delivery of basic ser­vices), so they feel they should have a say in all of these things that go on.”

Critics claim the Aquino gov­ernment rarely shows interest in demands of special interest groups, including Moslems, workers, teachers or soldiers, unless they pose a threat.

The coup investigating com­mission also pointedly faulted Mrs. Aquino for poor leadership and lack of vision.

“While there is understably a reluctance by President Aquino to exercise power in the manner

that might be compared with former President Marcos, a de­mocracy in a crisis of transition calls for a firmer and more direct hand at the helm,” the report said.

Moreover, the system Mrs. Aquino restored four years ago has itself proven inadequate for decisive action.

Apart from a bloated bureau­cracy, the new constitution re­stored a legislature whose two chambers often have vastly dif­ferent agendas.

The 23 senators are elected by voters nationwide, and many ap­pear to be trying to use the chamber as springboard to the presidency. House members, elected by dis­trict, tend to reflect local views.

Without established, well-or­ganized political parties to disci­pline members, legislation often takes months to enact, usually with numerous amendments, backroom deals and compro­mises.

Severa prominent politicians including House Speaker Ramon Mitra have suggested shifting to a unicameral, parliamentary-style government in which adminis­tration could be changed consti­tutionally if it were to lose man­date.

Former Labor Minister Bias Ople, an opposition member of the Aquino-appointed commis-

sion that drafted the 1987 con­stitution, has said that its framers’ biggest mistake was to re-estab­lish a bicameral system.Critics say the system is too highly cen­tralized.

Politicians in Cebu, Mindanao and other provincial centers complain that Manila exerts too much control than is workable in an archipelago of 7,000 islands with more than 80 languages and dialects.

Noble’s allies claimed that their goal was to establish an inde­pendent state on Mindanao and then tpo reunite the southern is­land with otherpartsof thecountry ina federal system.

There is littel sign that the coup attempts have generated any sig­nificant, broad-based civilian support. Although the December putsch nearly toppled the gov­ernment, few believed thatNoble would succeed in ousting Mrs. Aquino.

But each revolt tarnishes the reputation of the government, frightens foreign investors and demoralizes the public.

During a speech friday, Her­man Montenegro, chariman of the annual conference of the chamber of Commerce, warned the government “must dispel fear that a military coup is a distinct possibility at any time.”

New teachers organization formedby T e n M . F loresAn organization of educators

in the Commonwealth designed to promote and improve the edu­cation of students in the CNMI was recently organized by a group of teachers from thePublic School System.

Joe Borja, president of the As­sociation for Commonwealth Teachers said that the ACT was organized to help both thestudents and the educators by providing them a channel to address their concerns and to uplift the quality of education in the Common­wealth.

“The Commissioner is aware of the existence of the group and she is very supportive of what we are doing,” Boija said.

He also said that Chairman of the Board of Education Juan Babauta has also expressed his support for the association.

“The ACT is not a union and is not against the management. It should not be perceived as one because we will never be one. It will always be an association that would establish a positive work­ing relationship with the PSS and its officials,” Jovi Masiwemai, Vice-President of the group said.

Masiwemai said that the or­ganizations’s interest will be in accordance with the programs of the PSS and that it will work hand- in-hand with PSS officials in ad­dressing the needs of students and teachers in the CNMI.

Borja said that the association

was organized last June after a numberofteachersexpressed their desire to form a group that would represent their interest in the PSS.

During the organizational meeting Joe Mafnas was elected as the pro-tempore chairman of the group, Boija said. The teach­ers were then asked to select a school representative who would represent them during monthly meetings.

For the general assembly held Oct4, a total of 120 teachers signed up and expressed their de­sire to be members of the organi­zation. A meeting to discuss and form the by-laws of the organiza­tion is scheduled today at4 p.m. at the Hopwood Junior High.

Borja said that in the meeting, a

draft of the by-laws may be put together as a result of compiled charters suggested by school rep­resentatives.

“We believe that solidarity is important and that a unified front is imperative. We would like to be the representative of all teachers in the CNMI,” Boija said. He also said that he does not see any con­flict between the ACT and other teacher organizations in the Commonwealth.

Virgilio Abueme, president of the Marianas Association of Fili­pino Educators has encouraged members of the Filipino organi­zation to join the ACT.

“The association will not ef­fectively represent the educators of the Commonwealth and will

not be able to address the needs of our students if we do not have the full participation of every teacher in the Commonwealth,” Borja said.

Elected officials of the asso­ciation include Joe Borja of Marianas High School as Pres­ident, Jovi Masiwemai of Koblerville Elem. Sch. as Vice- President, Juanita Paras of Gregorio T. Camacho Elem. Sch. as the organ ization’s secretary and Billy Billy of Hopwood Junior High as the organization’s trea­surer.

Five years ago, an organization called thaSaipanTeacher’s Asso­ciation was formed however, no information was made available as of presstime if the Association is still in existence.

A 35.000 DWT super oil taitker named Petrobuik Powei regis­tered tn Nassau docked at the Baker Dock in Puerto Rico, Lower Base Friday morning.

“Tins is the Fust in the Commonwealth, particularly on Saiptut that an oil vessel o f this type has stopped for a short visit,” said Edwaid A. Svhii, Mobil Oil operations manager on Guam and Micronesia.

The Peuobulk Power can io s 11 million gallons of oil products such as jet fuel and gas.

It is new: about five years old only and vet a veteran of several sea voyages, according to Svitil.

“It would take Saipan to spend at ottndS2 million to bung m an oil vessel of this size on its own.

But w ith Mobil Oit allowing our ship to visit here, much money could be saved by Saipan because the price of gasoline and oil products being unloaded here would be lower, “ said Svitil.

The tanker could come h-'re once in every 30 or 40 days to keep the supply of gas and other oil puxlucts steady, according to Sviul who is based on Guam.

Increase of Child Abuse in CNMI notedby Ten M . blares The Commonwealth has seen a

continuing increase in the number of sexual molestation cases, based cm information as it is reported to theChildandFamilyServicesUnit of the Division of Y outh Services.

According to the statistics pro­vided by the Div., sexual moles­tation is the largest single offense reported which comprise about 45% of all cases committed against girls. An increase in reported cases was determined as a total of 82 cases or 33% were reported for fiscal year 1989while 1988records show that there were only 52 cases which have been reported to the agency. The victims included 10 boys and 72 girls.

Bion Blunt, Resource Coordi­nator for the D YS said in a Friday interview sexual molestation and child abuse are not “imported

problems.” He said that on a per capita basis, cases in the CNMI were almost identical with any other child molestation cases from any other place in the world.

“The deviance has always been there. It is a biological in nature,” Blunt said.

Bluntsaid thatcompared before when no one was addressing the problem, people now are finding ways to help those who have been abused and molested either by their own parents or relatives.

“The primary thrust and em­phasis of the program is to promote the welfare of the child by pro­viding the means to help them on their problems,” Blunt said.

Although the Division still needs to enhance its services for the battered child, child psychia­trists and psychologists at the Commonwealth Health Center

help in the child’s therapy and to monitor the child’sprogress in the program, Blunt said.

He said that treatment and therapy for the children cannot be made immediately but it takes a lot of time before a child could enable to get over with what he has ex­perienced, Blunt said.

BluntsaidthattheDivisiondoes not go looking around for cases but, there are people mandated by the Commonwealth law to report known and suspected child abuse cases. Among the individuals in­clude teachers, doctors, dentists, religious healers and other law enforcement officials who “come in contact in a professional ca­pacity” with the child.

The Division does not have any power to arrest the person re­sponsible for abusing the child but,asetofrules has been outlined

for informers, Blunt said.He said that suspected child

molestation incidents should.be reported to the Department of Public Safety orto theDYS within 24 hours the incident occured. To get the facts, the child and the parents are interviewed separately. A separate interview is conducted for the assailant.

Adetectiveassignedtothecase is then informed and that charges are filed by the Attorney General should it be determined that the incident occured, Blunt said.

The abused or the neglected child has a well established pro­file. They may likely have several characteristics which include a low self esteem, extremes in be­havior, wary of pysical contact, learning problems and signs of tiredness.

“The abuser is definitely some­

one the child trusts and knows. The person is often related to the child,” Blunt said.

Blunt said that the DYS is lookdngtoestablishsuppoit groups for the family and the victim that would help them cope with the situation. He also said that the program also needs more foster parents who will take care of abused children.

“Although we only give $150 monthly stipend to meet the clothing and other needs of the child, the rewards that will be reaped are something money cannot buy,” Blunt said.

He said that legislators should pass a law that would mean stiffer penalty for child abusers. Blunt said that the DYS is in support of law introducing a five year man- datoiyjail term for those convicted of the offense.

ARIL needs members to join development bankby Ronel B. ConcepcionAPEL newly swomed in presi­

dent Manuel C. Sablan is “push­ing” various member entities “to get involved” in promoting the development and growth of the Micronesian region by investing money in the Pacific Island De­velopment Bank.

Cong. Sablan said in an inter­view, that he and PIDB, are now in the process of convincing other APILmembeistoputtheirmoney in the micronesian development bank, before the deadline which is set for July next year.

PIDB was established July last

year and now operating in Guam with a temporary skeletal staff.

The bank has only four mem­bers from APIL composed of: TheRepublic of Belau, Yap State, Chuuk State and Pohnpei State.

Sablan said he wants the CNMI to join andappropriate funds to be deposited in the bank.

He is also working right now on dissemenating information to various government officials educating them on what the bank could do, “so that when we in- troducelegislation,they will know about i t ”

He said PIDB President Santos

Olikong met Governor Larry GuerreroFriday, for informational purposes adding that every one has to be aware of the goals and objectives of the bank and realize its importance.

A document, prepared by Tosiwo Nakayama and Arnold Leibowitz, explains and discuss the need for such a regional de­velopment bank, was earlier pre­sented to the various governments of Micronesia.

The document, which explains the need for a micronesian devel­opm ent bank states that “Micronesia finds itself very short

of long-term capital, significant private enterprise and technical assistance skills.”

It further said that each of the government and representatives of the private sector within the region “also saw a need for addi­tional resources” to assist in the developmentof infrastructure and capital for private development

The document said that “there are few public and private finan­cial institutionscapable of servic­ing Micronesia at all.”

It said that some of these finan­cial institutions are “limited” to

small projects because of inad­equate resources.

The Micronesian region then needs a“strong, locally controlled financial insitution” to increase technical capacity, according to the document

The document provides that PIDB has the following objectives: Attract additional capital to assist the development of Micronesia; attracitraditional human resources to strengthen the financila capa­bility of Micronesia; and assist the economic and political stability of the region.

Diamonds displayed at Dobbins jewelry showby Ronel B. ConcepcionA jewelry show designed to

entice the local market for new and up-to-date jewelry fashion has been mounted at the Hyatt Hotel by the Dobbins Jewelers of Guam.

Dobbins Regional Manager Frank Sauceda said the jewelry showcase they had for the past four days, from Sept 5 to 8, fea­turing a wide selection of dia­monds andpreciousjewelrieswas “very nicely” welcomed by the people.

He said he is thankful for all those who went to the show not­ing that “the people of Saipan loves jewelries.”

Sauceda said the Dobbins show started with an idea after visiting Saipan “for quite sometimes.”

Hefoundoutthatjewelry stores on the island does not particu­larly offer full service to cos­tumers.

Sauceda said he then realized theneedforajewelry shop which will offer full service to the cus­tomers and at the same time pro­vide various collections of pre­cious stones.

“A quarter diamond is the larg­est precious diamond I saw here,” he added.

Another reason for putting up a show is that, many Dobbins customer that buys on Guam are

from Saipan.He said the merchandise they

have offered during the four-day show is high quality, up-to date fashion jewelries, or the “in thing “ rightnow at differentcost range from various designers likeTerrel, Fortuna and DDL

Saucedo said Dobbins give credibility to the bussiness by providing customers with a com­plete line of service like extend­ing appraisal, custom -built jewelries and in house credit to clients.

A GIA certified appraiser, in­dependent from Dobbins, was there substantiating the sale of a product showing its real quality.

Anin-housecreditorcreditplan was also offered to clients, which could be approved within 30 min­utes that same day.

Jewel crafstmen were also present to make custom built jewelries according to the taste of customers.

Most clienteles “sometimes think” that because Dobbins have “too high quality products,” prices arequite unaffordable sayingwhat Dobbins offer “rival world class jewelry show,” he said.

He said that consumers on Saipan are people that can afford to buy precious jewels and the company’sfirstpriority is to serve local consumers “because that is

Castro said that the driver, Jin Ho Kim, was pronounced dead on arrival at the Commonwealth Health Center after suffering a fractured skull while Lee, who was also declared dead on arrival at the CHC suffered from a broken neck. Song died of a fractured trachea, several minutes after she was rushed to the hospital.

Chaminade University student Jin Tae Kim, 20 and Northern Marianas College student Young Shin Lee, 20, both of Koblerville were admitted at the CHC for ob­servation after they sustained lac­erations and contusions from the accident

Castro said that preliminary in­vestigations reveal that Kim, who was driving the four door white Mazda sedan, was following an­other vehicle going south along Beach Road when he lost control on the curve near the Community Church and ran into the tree.

Pastor Dwight Chapman of the Saipan Community Church said that about 2 a.m. Friday, he and his wife were awakened by a loud crash coming from the back of their house.

“Upon hearing the crash, I immediately told my wife to call 911 because I knew that there was another accident near the church. I then went out carrying a flashlight to see what hap­pened,” the pastor said.

Chapman also said that prior to the am val of the police and the paramedics, several on-lookers were already near the site of the collision.

Witnesses to the accident say that upon collision, two passen­gers were thrown off from the vehicle. Kim’s seatbelt was also broken as a result of the sudden impacL

Damage to the Mazda was se­vere with the front passenger

section completely ripped open. One pair of bloodied tennis shoes was found at the backseat while the other pair was found across the car’s gearshift.

Other witnesses also say that at the time police arrived in the scene, two have already been presumed dead while a girl was heard moaning from within the wreck­age.

The pastor said that the fre­quency of accidents in the area was already “a normal thing” for him however, this was the first time people died. He recounted the time when a car, driven by a Japanese suddenly spun-off and knockedoff a sign near the church whileonly a few months ago, a car crashed hitting the fire hydrant.

Further investigations are still being conducted by the DPS to determine the cause of the acci- denL

4,1981 which named Rainbow Center as the maker of the note. A note was made by Rainbow Center in the amount of 589,000 which was then extended, renewed and consolidated with the535,000note after both Rainbow Center and Rainbow Ltd. defaulted on their obligations to the bank, the court document shows.

The Bank of Guam then sued Wiseman, as guarantor of Rain­bow Ltd.’s indebtedness alleging that the Corp. was liable for the renewal of the589,000. TheBank appealed to the trial court on the summary judgement which it granted to Wiseman on the grounds that the 589,000 was made by Rainbow Center, ac­cording to the opinion.

The opinion said that, the bank was “collaterally stopped from bringing a new suit against Wiseman on the 535,000 note” because a reasoned decision has already been issued by the court and that the liability on the note was already “fully litigated.”

Based on the summary judge­ment order issued by the trial court, “the bank accepted the signature of the officers of Rain- bowCenteronthe535,000 note.” The decision said that instead of Rainbow Ltd.Rainbow Center should be named as defendan t of the new suit

The CTC judge also said that the claim on the note was “not properly pled,’’making itanother reason why the the bank’s claim

on the note was dismissed.The CTC ruling said that since

the suit is on the 589,000, the motion for judgement on the 535,000 must fail because it was not what the complaint alleges, the opinion cited.

The opinion also stated that no sufficient evidence was found suggesting that it was a frivolous lawsuiL The judges said that the facts and circumstances of the case are “complex and confus­ing.” The opinion also stated that (hey cannot fault the bank for going to court “one more time” to try and recover on its defaulted loans even though the bank has now been found to be incorrect in its view as to what occured in the 535,000.

“This coming Sunday would be most convenient for all of us— from the team owners, managers, officers, coaches, technical offi­cials and other interested parties.

Table officials would be paid 55.

Other matters to be brought up by the members will be taken up during Sunday’s meeting.

Guerrero Second in the Saipan- Guam Bowling Championship

B y Lily 0 . R a m o sSaipan’s Joe Guerrero cap­

tured second place in the Masters Event of the Guam-Saipan bowling championship held on Guam from Oct. 4-Oct. 7 where 12 men and women from Saipan took part

Guerrero scored 3173 pins as runner-up to Guam’s champion Duane Camacho who had 3186. O ther Guanam enians, Jess Guenero, placed third with 3116, followed by Ben Leon Guerrero with 3098 and Reyel Reyes with 3073 who finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

Camacho won 51,000 prize money while Guerrero came home richer with S500.

Third placer-placer Guerrero gotS300 whiletheotherGuerTero was awarded S200 and Reyes SI 00.

Guerrero, manager of Saipan

Bowling Center, later doubled up with Leo Dimla for another sec­ond place finish behind the ex­plosive partnership of Ray Reyes Jr. and John Duenas Jr. who put together 1231 pinfalls in the Men’s Doubles Event. Guerrero and Dimla had a total of 1223 pinfalls before Guerrero teamed up again with Mark Halstead for fifth place in the same event

Duenas and Reyes ’ victory was worth S300. Guerrero and Dimla won S200 for their effort, while the duo of Guerrero and Halstead received S100. Third placerJohnny Ramirez and Percy Zamora got S I50.

So dominating were the Guanamenians that they took all of the Ladies Doubles event, W omen’s Team events, All events, Singles and the Masters event.

The same thing went for the

men. They nearly turned the win­ners ’ Circle into an all-Guamenian event by allowing only Guerrero and, Dimla and Halstead to par­take in the prize money list

“There were some complaints from the delegation of Saipan such as losing momentum be­cause of the long time -gap we suffered in the last game.

We last played at about 9 a. m. then were reactivated only at about 3 p. m. But in whole, the tournament was very successful,” said Guerrero.

He said that there was a short preparation forSaipan so thatmost of the lady bowlers did not have time to practice and perfect their game which is very important in a tournament like the Saipan-Guam bowling championship.

All of the Saipan delegation had only seven days to prepare after receiving the late invitation.

Joe Guerrero

“I could say that one of the factors why they nearly swept us off is the fact that they are familiar with the lanes of Central Lane where the tournament was held. Aside from that, some of the indi­vidual participants did not have enough money to spend for the

tournament,” said Guerrero.He added that team event has

always been Saipan’s turf except this year when some of the best bowlers could not make it for financial or other reasons. He mentioned that the highest tour­ney qoutient belonged to fisher­man A1 Merano, a Filipino long­time resident of Saipan married to a local woman.

The tournament will be hosted by Saipan next year where the hosts are expected to go all out to capture any of the titles.

“I wish more youngsters would attend the SBC’s free bowling clinic every Saturday starting at 9 a. m. Some sponsors who have been supporting theproject would like to see kids start early in learn­ing the rudiments of the game. We need them to play for us in future tournam ents,” said Guerrero.

Men and Women’s Volleyball Teams Formed for the Oceania MeetBy Lily O. R am os The CNMI All-Star volley ball

teams in the men and women’s category have been formed to compete in the 1990 Oceania Volleyball Tournament in Fiji on Nov. 28-Dec. 8.

Tony Rogolifoi is the men’s head coach, assisted by Ray Tebuteb while the women’s team is managed by Rose Igitol and coached by Karen Beardsley.

“We tried out for nearly a month before 13 boys were chosen to become members of the jteam,”said Rogolifoi, who is shy about making a prediction about his team’s chances in the compe­tition in Fiji.

“With powerhouses Australia,

New Zealand and Tahitti, the sailing would be rough. All I can say is we will do our very best out there and let nature take its course,’’said Rogolifoi, whose players age range from 18-30.

They have been practicing for more than a month now, every Monday, Wcdncsday and Friday, one- and- a half hours per meet­ing in preparation for the big event in Fiji.

Most of the boys have come from the Micronesian Games and are veterans butoneisstillinhigh school.

The women, have been train­ing hard too, from two to two- and- a half hours, three times a week.

The majority of them are re­turning veterans from the July Micronesian Games although two are still in college.

The youngest is 18 years of age while the oldest is 30. Beardsley is hoping that her team would place among the lop three but she is also realistic about the fact that New Caledonia, Australia, Tahiti and New Zealand are the teams to reckon with.

“I’ve heard they have tall and talented players so no one can be sure about our chances,” said Beardsley.

“But I know that my team has good athletic ability because of the young ones and knowledge and experience provided by the

veterans.”Both teams are bothered by the

fact that they have insufficient funds for the com petition. Rogolifoi said that his team needs at least $20,000 while the women’s squad may need the same amount.

“We are asking the public, the private compan ies and businesses to help us defray our expenses in this important volleyball tourna­ment. We have been tring to hold fund-raising by holding dances and softdrink booths but the money is just not enough. I hope somebody will helps u s,” Beardsley pleaded.

The Oceania tourney would be participated in by Australia, New

Zealand, New Caledonia, Fiji, Tonga, Tahiti, W estern or American Samoa, Vanuatu and CNMI.

The CNMI men’s team is com - posed of: Joe San Nicolas, Joe Mettao, Pas Olopai, Alex Olopai, Jonas Barcinas, Andy Nepaial, Manny Ogarto, Alex Rangamar, Kastaro Louis, Alex Germinaro, Peter Camacho, Jerry Ayuyu and John Taitano.

The women’s lineup is made up of: Tonie Taitano, Jackie Taitano, JoyceTaro, BobbieTaro, Emy Quitugua, Jovi Omar, Evelyn Sablan, Hiroko Amemiy a, Apong Taitano, Thelma Cing, PrincipaCruzandFrancesSantos.
