GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio yesterday said he will win the 1997 gu bematorial election-but only if the people would go for the candidate with the better performance record.

"As we all know, (former govemorPedroP. 'Teno"Tenorio) is more popular than I am, but I'm hoping that the people will select on the basis of perfomrnnce," he said when asked to rate his chances of getting reelected against the winner of the Republican gubernatorial primary. Froilan C. Tenorio

However, "if the people are not happy (with what I'm doing) then there's nothing I can do about it,"

the governor said. The Teno-Pepero ticket won in

the Republican primary, the governor said, not because they are more popular than Guerrero-Inos, but maintained, "I don't want to comment on what I think the results of the election (mean)."

He said running in an election against Teno, who is his uncle, will be a "lively" qne.

'Tougher sentencing, less discretion for judges' By Rafael H. Arroyo Variety News Staff

LIEUTENANT Governor Jesus C. B01ja wants to see tougher sentencing provisions included in the new draft criminal code that is being finalized by the Administration's legal experts.

clauses. "From my own personal view,

Netanyahu presses Ara.fat:

'Si Hebron accord' By GWEN ACKERMAN

JERUSALEM (AP) · Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressed PLO leader Yasser Arafat for an agreement on an Israeli troop pullback from Hebron and said he was ready to discuss unresolved elements of Palestinian autonomy, Netanyahu's spokesman said Monday.

During a phone call to Arafat Sunday evening, the prime minister said he hoped the two sides could reach an accord on Hebron by the end of the week, David Bar-lllan said.

Netanyahu leaves for a weeklong trip to the United States on Thursday.

Netanyahu has balked at an agreement set by his predecessors to pull troops from 80 percent of Hebron - a West Bank city where 350 Jewish settlers and 150 seminary students live among 94,000 Palestinians - due to security concerns.

Axafat has been holding out for a package deal that would address Hebron as well as a timetable for implementation of outstanding peace agreements, including a further troop withdrawal from West Bank rural areas.

Palestinian negotiator Hassan Asfour said Monday that Netanyahu' s assurances were not enough.

"These are just promises. We want timetables," Asfour told The Associated Press.

"It was just talk, nothing but the same promises of 'we will proceed with the agreement.' But the agreements are there," Asfour said.

Israeli media reported that

Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu promised Arafat that once a Hebron agreement was reached, there would be a further West Bank troop redeployment.

But Bar-Illan said Netanyahu's assurances were general, and that in his conversation with Arafat, the prime minister said that once a Hebron deal was concluded, the other outstanding elements of the autonomy accords would be discussed.

Among those outstanding issues is the creation of a land route linking the West Bank and Gaza, the release of Palestinian prisoners and the opening of a Palestinian international airport in Gaza.

The two chief negotiators, Israel's Dan Shomron and the Palestinians' Saeb Erekat, met Sunday night.

Details of the meeting were not immediately available.

In Israel, there was growing concern that Jewish extremists in Hebron would resort to violence to try and scuttle a troop pullback.

B ar-Illan said N etanyahu warned Arafat that a delay was

"dangerous because it may cause the extremists on both sides to act against the agreement."

In recent days, the Shin Bet security service called in more than a dozen suspected Jewish extremists for questioning, Israel radio said.

On Sunday, Noam Federman, a prominent member of the outlawed anti-Arab Kach movement, was ordered held in administrative detention for two months.

Israel's security forces have been on high alert since last month after receiving warnings that the militant group Islamic Jihad planned suicide attacks in Israel.

In Kiryat Arba, a Jewish settlement near Hebron, the hours of the local shooting range were extended, Mayor Zvi Katzover said.

"We believe that sooner or later the area will go up in flames," Katzover told Israel radio. "If the terrorists fire on Kiryat Arba, we will fire back according to procedures and orders."

'Sabla11 should resi ' By Zaldy Dandan Variety News Staff

SENA TE President and Republican Party candidate for lieutenant governor Jesus R. Sablan should resign from the Senate, Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio said yesterday.

Tenorio was reacting to Sablan' s statements blaming him (the governor) for the delay in enacting the capital improvement projects (CIP) funding bill. ( see related story in this issue)

"He came out with (that statement) just after (his election victory), wow," Tenorio said.

"I think the guy should step down, because otherwise he will just sit over there and do nothing. He (will not) approve our bills and budgets."

Sablan, he added, should step aside and Gust allow) the administration to do its job.

"(His being in the Senate while being a candidate is) really a good case of conflict of interest," Tenorio said.

Sablan is the running mate of former governor Pedro P. "Teno" Tenorio, the governor's

DOLI blacklists 75 employers By Jojo Dass Variety News Staff ·

SOME 75 employers have been barred by the Department of Labor and Immigration from hiring non-resident workers this year, it was gathered.

A DLI report also showed that labor dispute hearings conducted have also increased this year totalling 833 for the past three quarters alone as compared to 357 for the whole of last year.

The report showed a steady increase in these hearings since 1994 with a total of 205 cases heard during that year.

The bulk of the cases heard were that on the non-payment, of salary as stated in contracts.

Meanwhile, the 75 employers, which altogether employed close to 500 workers, were barred for various violations of labor rules on standards and occupational health, it was gathered.

THE BILL that would allow government retirees to become members of the CNMI Credit Union became Public Law 10-37 after Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio neither signed nor vetoed it.

At least two new hearing officers, both lawyers with a total of 20 years in judicial experienc;e will be appointed while equipment is being upgraded to accomodate two hearings at a given time.

This being part of a DLI plan to increase hearings by 400 per cent and totally eliminate backlogs through the creation of an "Old Case" Unit.

Also, bi-monthly hearings will be slated on Tinian and Rota.

Sablan earlier said the party leadership "will do all it can to reconcile the differences" between Tenorio and Borja.

Tenorio announced last December that he would not run foranotherterm. The announcement was followed by his endorsement of Borja as the Democratic candidate for the 1997 gubernatorial election.

However, after months of saying he might still change his mind, Tenorio announced recently that he intends to run for a second term.

Borja, in an earlier interview, said he is willing to run against Tenorio in a primary, "if necessary."

Political giants settle score THE two friends finally settled their score on Who's the real undisputed master politician in Marianas political histo~. Both are arc~etype who attained their standing in the Northern Mananas Commumty through patience, diligence and hard work. Both also served as the bridge of the past and have selected young and educated runningmates as their bridge to the future.

Last Saturday's GOP Primary revealed the ultimate truth. For former Governor Larry Guerrero, it was not to be and his share of the pages of history will finally be written with the chapter closed. . .

For former Governor Pete P. Tenorio, the result was a familiar tune, capturing once more a feat that no one in.Marianas politics .has been able to achieve-a third successful trip to the primary and a highly likely THREEPETE in the upcoming gubernatorial race for the most coveted scat in Marianas political history.

Throughout the three months of canvassing the villages in all three islands, I saw the emergence of political planks from both camps. Guerrero capitalized on the values of education while Tenorio promoted the need ~o revive strong traditional family values. The two gentlemen were correct 1.n picking similar themes for they truly treasure the essence of the family umt and the need to equip our children with lifetime skills so they can prepare themselves for the challenges of the next millennium .

The results of last Saturd71y's GOP primary demonstrated once more that political planks hud nothing to do with whether one or the othereme.rges the ultimate victor. All efforts returned, once more, to grassroots pohtics, no more, no less. So what's the relationship between candidates and the grassroots? It's who they (grassroots) remember as having successfully ;iven them a sense of worth and confidence in both calm and storm when both governors were in and out of office.

It's-all a matter of who visited them in their most trying moments, able to listen and empathize with them. I think former Governor Tenorio was the most keen of them all in terms of being able to listen to public sentiment at the grassroots level. He visited, listened and empathized with his people's problems and concerns when they were really down. Out of office, he did his rounds with a great sense of humility saying It's my turn to help". It was heart-warming and the surest ticket to cementing lasting friendsh!P· That was the key in last Saturday's GOP primary. It was a handsome sense of grassroots reciprocity once more! . .

I've also assessed and constantly reviewed the success behmd the TenonoPepero candidacy. However their individuul s~cce~s in the poli.tical limelight, they were simple men who led simple hves m unpretentious ways. This is the very demeanor that gravitated the majority at the grassroots level to Teno as he's affably known. And it is a trait that most people identify with for they know in their hearts that the duo wasn't asking ''why can't you be like us'', but rather "how can we be like you".

While the tandem's forte rests with having cemented strong grassroots rapport, they also know the vuluc o.f sincerity in friendship and the immeasurable mileage that comes wnh It when the appropriate time comes. You need not even usk for it. People march in with their hearts and voluntarily say, ··we 're here, ready and wilJing to follow you". It shows that the duo have kept in check public sentiment and have returned time and again to their level always seeking for ways to be "a part of them" ratherthan the contrary. It is this flexibility and rapport with the grassroots level that has consistently given them sustained public confidence. Indeed, so~e h.ave flexed their muscles from atop their pedestals only to fall and slide mto oblivion.

The Tcno-Pepero traditionul bullcart has reached the halfway mark and many of their followers have decided to ride through one more victory in 1997. They know that the master politician has gone through three primaries emerging a victor with commanding lead on both trip~. He al.so won the final contest, again, with resounding lead. For gubematonal aspirants, I am sure the uppermost query in mind is: How do you defeat a master politician'? Easy! Wait until he decides to hung up his gloves and until he does, your best bet is either follow the bullcart or get out of the way.

Tenorio has the natural ability to check the troops, a must trait m leadership, knowing full well that they are out on the front lines of any and all battles. And he'd rather spend time with them than sit in his office trying to listen to a contused legal eagle or ulleged expert. The same can be said of his runningmate Jesus R. Sablun, senate president. You may have all the trappings of a superb candidate, but unless you 're willing to visit the tro0.ps, listen to their tiny and sincere voices and show them better days ahead, it's best that you hang-up your gloves from the outset. Such is the nature of local politics so mastered by former Governor Pete P. Tenorio. I'm sure he's poised to make a Three-Pete in a seat he knows best thun most others ..

I offer my congratulations to the two former govemo~s for, 1f anythmg, they have reawakened our senses to the challenges that he ahead of us and most of all, for their great sense of statesmanship over the last three months. Let's hope that time heals the wounds of the last three months. Much remains to be done as the two Tenorios meet on the collision course to determine who should lead the NM! into the 21st Century. Si Yuus Mause!

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

Valle reveals Mexico's narco-corruption WASHING TOI\' -Mexico's most couracreous former counter-narcotics official, 0

Eduardo Valle, believes the unprecedented assassination of a Mexican presidential candidate was a drug-related hit.

Valle was a special adviser to two successive Mexican attorneys general from I 993-94, heading up an elite 31-man counter-narcotics team. Frustrated by government protection of certain drug traffickers, Valle resigned in May 1994, firing off a letter that was released to the press.

Previously, Valle had been a leader of a famous 1968 student revolution, for which he was imprisoned for three years. Although he was a leftist, he has never been a liar-so Valle's charges against the government he served were widely reported.

"When will we have the valor and political maturity to tell the Mexican people that we are the victims of a kind of narcodemocracy?" he wrote. He concluded with the following statement made even more chilling because of his high-level view of the Mexican government: "Nobody can outline a political project in which the heads of drucr trafficking and their finan-o . ciers are not included, because if you do 1t, you die."

Valle became so highly visible as a cru:;uder, naming names, releasing documents, that he thought it wise to relocate to the United States. As public enemy No. I of the Mexican drug cartels, Valle was described by the U.S. intelligence source who connected us with him as the man "most likely to be killed in the next six months."

· Our associute Dale Yan Atta flew to the American Southwest to meet with Valle, who seemed unafraid at the prospect of losing his life: "I am not a crazy man. But what can I do? Cry like a baby? This is a very important issue for my country it's not for babies."

Valle is not part of the U.S. Witness Protection Program, nor has he accepted offers of protection from federal law enforcement officials. "I o.nli have my car, my gun and my sensibility," he told us.

Valle.turns less combative when speaking of his late friend, Luis Donaldo Colosio. Colosio hud b~en selected by former Mexican President Carlos Salinas to be his successor.

Colosio was campaigning for president in 1994. He wanted a clean election, so he

was earnest about his campaign appearances, pressing the flesh. Friends w.ere concerned about his security, particularly since he had become outspoken about fighting drug traffickers.

They were right to be concerned. On March 23 1994, while campaigning in Tijuana, Colosio was assassinated.

Mario Aburto, a young factory worker, was captured on .the spot with a gun. He soon confessed, and has since been convicted of the shooting. But the lone-gunman theory put forward by the Salinas administration troubled many Mexicans, including Valle.

Valle told us he had brought Coiosio sensitive counter-narcotics intelligence weeks before the assassination, warning him that two top members of his security force and other campaign advisers were linked to drug traffickers. Others were brutal ex-cops with questionable backgrounds.

As if that were not enough, Valle warned him, the guest list for an upcoming fundraising dinner arranged for him in Monte;rey included the brother of a notorious drug trafficker.

Colosio was furious about being compromised in such a way, ''I warned Colosio about him," Valle recalled, "and he ordered them to disinvite that bastard. I named those untrustworthy infiltrators in his campaign whom he should remove. ·Luis Donal do, you should be careful with these people,' I warned. And he began taking steps to free himself from the narcos and narco-politicians around him, but they caught up with him and killed him."

Valle is convinced of this, and he has an impressive record for good instincts. After the 1985 assassination of Mexican investigative journalist Manuel Buendia, Valle fingered a former director of national security in the Miguel de la Madrid administration. "People didn't believe me then," he said. "They said, 'He's crazy; he's sick; he's obsessed.'" Four years later, however, that man was arrested in connection with the Buendia murder and sentenced t~. 30 years in prison.

A similm shift in the Colosio assassination investigation has already occurred since Ernesto Zedillo succeeded Salinas as president. A new special prosecutor dumped the lone-gunman theory almost immediately, believing others were involved.

The combination of convection and evaporation is a very effective way of transferring heat to the envirorunent It is the reason why you may feel cold when you climb out of a swimming pool on a breezy day even if the sun is shining and the air is warm. This is the principle on which the evaporative air conditioner works. Sometimes if an engine is poorly tuned, the weather is hot and humid and you're traveling up hill, the car engine like the human body will over heat and "seize up". If your body's mechanisms for getting rid ofheat fail ~en you may suffer from heat injury in the form of heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

The environmental factors which make heat injury more likely are, high temperature, high hwnidity, no shade, no breeze, excess clothing, dark clothing. The personal factors which contribute to heat in jury are, being in JJ?Or shape, not being to the climate, being over weight, alcohol, drugs ~hich interfere with sweating, exercising too hard, and water and salt deplet:Jon.

Water depletion is the most important factor. When you become dehydrated there is less blood to carry heat to the skin, the vessels in the skin close down so the heat can't getto the surface and most important! y you don't sweat enough.Thebodytemperaturewillstarttoriseandifieftunchec~~heatinj'.11?' may occur.

It is very important that you know how to start treatment as heat stroke is a medical emergency and kills many otherwise healthy people each year.

If the abdominal muscles are involved and the pain severe a surgeon might be tricked into thinking a per.son has appendicitis or a perforated ulcer. ·

The symptom~ of heat exhaustion are headache, giddiness, poor appetite, ' nausea and vomiting, weakness and sometimes confusion, inappropriate

behavior. psychosis and loss of consciousness. The person suffe1ing from heat exhaustion usually feels hot lo tl1e touch.

looks pink and is sweating. Their tempernturc is usually under 40 degrees centigrade.

The next stage of heat injury is heat stroke. The athlete may feel chilly and have "goose bumps". Nausea, vomiting, tingling sensations and bizarre behavior are common. Seizures may occur. The person with heat stroke appears pale or ashen gray. They may not feel hotto the touch. Sweating stops

, or is minimal. The body temperature is over 40. 1

Toe initial treatment of ail these heat injuries is the same: get out of the sun; remove unneeded clothing, wet the skin witl1 cool (not cold) water; fan the person vigorously, ice can be rubbed on the scalp, in the anmpits and maybe in the groin; drink a weak salt and sugar drink which you can make up by mixing 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a liter of water.

A person who has heat stroke should be taken to h.ospital even if.they seemingly recover with the above treatmenL Kidney fiulure can sometunes result. With heat cramps and mild heat exhaustion hospitalization isn't necessary but the athlete should not exercise for a few days and should make sure they drink large amounts of fluids and add ex~ salt to the!r foo:c1, .

If you have ever had a heat injury you are more likely to get 1t agam, so 1t is important that you take preventative measures (as we ail sho~ld) These are: don't exercise when it is dangerous to do so; stay out of the direct sun; wear loose, light colored clothing; dampen your clothing; wear a loose, wet hat or put ice under the hat; drink before, during and after exercise; salt your food (don't use salt tablets).

Garment firm may be told to relocate

By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff

GOVERNORFroilanC. Tenoriosaid the government will ask the developer of a gannent factory to relocate theprojectsomewhereelseotherthan Koberville.

The governor was responding to the protest launched by parents, teachers, and administrators of the Koblerville Elementary School who are opposing the planned construction of the factory beside the campus.

The protest move has gained support from education officials.

During a Board of Education meeting last Oct. 30, the board officials agreed to issue a statement that "we should not have a garment factory next to any school."

Board member Tom Pangelinan has proposed that the government implement a zoning system for

Tom Pangelinan

Saipan, and prohibit the construction of any major factory in school zones.

But Tenorio, at this time, will not respond to such proposals.

"I don't want to do anything about it," Tenorio told reporters.

The Z.Oning Law was enacted by the Guerrero administration but was

suspended by Tenorio in 1994. "As faras Koblcrville isconcemed

the proposed gannent factory there is on hold," Tenorio said. "lffor some reasons they can put up the gannent factory there, we will just have to ask them to relocate."

Parents and teachers at Koblerville school have warned that if the construction of the factory pushes through, it would create ~ore environmental problems that would compound the noise pollution which Koblerville residenl, are already putting up with.

They said Koblcrville is already experiencing noise pollution from aircraft landing and take off because of its proximity to the airpo1t

If the factory is built eventually, Koblerville residenL, would have to bear air and noise pollution, as well as problems with traffic, electricity, sewer, water and visual distraction,· they said.

On impasse over CIP bill:

Sablan says Tenorio to blame By Zaldy Dandan According to Sablan, however,

Tenorio's logic is "questionable." Both Sablan and San Nicolas,

however, said the CIP bill will be taken up and passed in a session this week.

"All of us here, and not just the governor, are concerned about CIP," San Nicolas said.

"(We do not want to) fight or

argue with the govemor,"he added, "(what we want) is to ensure that any appropriation enacted is accounted for."

Variety News Staff

SENATEPresidentJesusR.Sablan yesterday said Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's failure to draw up plans for the expenditure of the capital improvement projects fund should be blamed for the complications arising from the current delay in the enactment of House Bill 10-277.

"I don't understand his logic," he said. "There has been a need for classrooms since 1995 but it's already fiscal year I 997. He should have acted in 1995 (and not just now)."

Shiko Gakuen rites Friday H.B. 10-277, which would ap

propriate $31.867 million for capital improvement projects (CIP), has been in the Senate since the House ofRepresentatives passed iton Aug. 9.

Tenorio and Lt. Gov. Jesus C. Borja, in earlier interviews, said the Senate should rush its work on the bill.

The Public School System, Tenorio said, has been asking for the construction of new classrooms, the funding provision for which is included in the CIP bill.

"But I can't do anything without (legislative approval of the bill)," Tenorio said.

Sablan said the administration should be working on the CIP funds for 1997, but because of the governor's failure to identify matching funds the 1995 monies have yet to be appropriated.

Askedforacomment, Tenorioyesterday said his office have identified the matching funds for the 1995 CIP.

"It is the Senate sitting on it (that's causing the delay)," he said.

Sablan should just resign from the Senate, Tenorio added, because as the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor he might delay or block the administration's programs and budgets ( see related story in this issue).

Tenorio has said he will run for reelection in 1997.

' .. ......

Borja, for his part, cited the immediate need to clean up the Puerto Rico dumpsite and the opening of the new dump in Kalabera.

The CIP bill also provides funding for both projects.

Senate Committee on Fiscal Affairs Chair Henry DLG. San Nicolas yesterday said the administration may have identified matching funds, "but the question is, 'Do we really have the funds?'"

This Outreach & Training Program is a cooperative program between the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety

& Health Administration, U.S. Department of Interior, and the Northern Marianas College.

FOR the tenth year, the Japanese Shiko Gakuen Mission will gather its followers in Marpi on Friday to conduct solemn religious rites honoring all those who died in World War II.

The Mission, the Marianas Visitors Bureau and Pacific Development Inc. (PDI), coordinators for the event are inviting the general public to attend, a news release said.

The Memorial Service gets underway at 9:30 a.m. at Puntan Sabaneta, also known as Banzai Cliff, recalling its bloody role in the war.

Reverend Teruhiko Kawakami, the President of Shiko Gak:uen Mission, is bringing approxi- . mately 200 worshipers from Japan for the services that pray not only for the war dead, but also for "eternal peace and harmony throughout the world."

The service official! y concludes at noon, but those who want to

attend are being told that they are only asked to attend for an hour and may leave after the flower offering.

As in the past, the Shiko Gakuen Mission will also share another aspect of Japanese culture with a tea ceremony to be held at the garden of the Hafa Adai Hotel at 3 p.m. Families and friends are invited to this event.

The Shiko Gakuen Ministry traces its history to a 1945 revelation to Reverend Kawakami in which he was instructed to return the "burning and falling earth" to its "proper orbit and location.". Numerous miracles are said to have followed.

The memorial at Banzai Cliff was erected in 1988, following at 1987 visit to Saipan by Reverend Kawakami. Appearing on the monument are Reverend Kawakami's words: "Instead of cursing the darkness, light one candle at a time."

Aloot faced Marshalls probe By Mar-Vic C. Munar Vanety News Staff

C.SEBASTIAN Afoot, when he was the chairman of the Marshall Islands' Nuclear Claims Tribunal in 1993, faced investigation that stemmed fium his purchase of a computer workstation from afinn owned by his alleged girlfriend, according to a local newspaper in Marshalls.

A source, who sent the Variety a copy of the article published in the Dec. 17, 1993 issue of the Marshall Islands Journal, said the CNMI govemmentshouldhavecheckedAloot' s credentials before hiring him.

"I don't understand how this guy became the chief prosecutor in the CNMI. Doesn't anyone check credentials?" the source said.

Aloot, who is now the administration's consultant on legal matters, has been a butt of attacks since he was learned to have charged the government what critics had described as an "exorbitant" professional fee. Hiscontractstipulatesheis to receive $1890,00 a year for his legal services to the administration.

Aloot, dismissed the computer

issue as "old story." The Marshall Journals article said

Aloot "directed the Tribunal to spend almost $40,000 for the workstations and related service contracts with the Decision Support Systems Inc, the Honolulu-basedcomputercompany'' owned by a certain Pam Rigg.

CUC extends rotated outage·s "Overall, the quality ( of the com

puters) was not good. They sold the hardware for a low price but the price for their service was very high," the article said.

The article raised the issue of "impropriety" as it touched on Aloot' s personal relationship with Rigg.

By Rick Alberto Variety News Staff

THE Commonwealth Utilities Corp. yesterday released a new power outage schedule that extends up to Dec. 14.

CUC Public Information Officer Pamela A. Mathis, however, said the schedule would be followed only if people don't conserve power.

"If consumers-government, businesses, everybody-conserve, we will not have any outage at all," Mathis said.

The CUC management led by Executive Director Timothy P. Villagomez yesterday met to assess the power situation.

Mathis told the Variety that the Unit 3 engine which broke down last Nov. 6 needs to have its damaged piston and bearings replaced.

She said that if the needed parts can be purchased on island, the unit can be put back in line by Nov. 26.

Otherwise, she said, under a worst-case scenario outages are expected until Dec. 16 when Unit

I is scheduled to be put back in line after an overhaul.

Both Units I and 3 each have a 7-megawatt capacity.

Every day from today to Dec. 14 the brownout schedule is as follows:

•9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.-Areas covered by power line or Feeder 2

(Lower Base main power plant to Beach Road, Puerto Rico, Garapan, Chalan Laulau and San Jose [Micro!] intersection);

ARE you into gardening and have to spend a fortune for fertilizer?

You can in fact tum your organic trash into first-class fertilizer.

Susan de Salas, certified master composter, gives pointers on

. composting at home in an article ' published in the O<..--tober-Novem

bcr issue of Man, land wzd Sea, whichisputoutbytheGu.arnCoastal Management Program

Sheadvisesthatoneshouldselect a shady spot for a compost so that moisture will be retained as much as possible.

De Salas made her own compost bin by fencing in a big lemon treein her backyard with a tin roofing material.

However, one may opt to buy a bin structure from a store.

All. organic materials can be thrown into the compost bin except meats, dairy, colored and shiny papers, and dog and cat manures, De Salas insnucts.

Don't throw inorganic materials like metals, glass or plastics, she adds.

"All my organic waste simply geL~ thrown in there (compost bin) and left to nature," says De Salas.

De Salas says all the waste should • be covered with non-food waste so

there. will be no flies, Here is De Salas' compost recipe: -chop all ingredients so they will

compost rapidly; •Use a mix of materials-dry,

''brown" materialslike tree branches, dried grass and paper with wet, "green" materials like vegetable peelings, green weeds, and chicken manure; and

• Add water to the pile ifit get5 too dry and mix it to get air in, since the more air, the faster it will compost

According to De Salas, if you makeyourpileasbigas3'by3' and 3 feet tall, it can heat up and kill most weed seeds and plant diseases.

"If you' re not sure that your pile will heat up, compost your weed seeds and diseased plants separately so they don't get mis· takenly spread all over your garden when you use the finished compost," De Salas advises.

De Salas says the compost is ready for use as fertilizer anywhere from two weeks to six months or longer.

When it is finished, "you will find a crumbly, dark, soil-looking material called humus, where omx was all your organic 'garha~e.' This is plant fertilizer. Us~ as you will around your plants and watch your garden grow." she says.

•8:30 p.m.-10 p.m.-Feeder 5 (Dandan Waterloo Station to As Lita, Koblerville, San Antonio, Chalan Piao, and portions of Chalan Kanoa).

According to the schedule notice, if the power does not go off at the scheduled time, it means people conserved power and there is enough reserved electricity.

"Regardless of the time that the power is turned off, electricity will be restored at the time indicated," the notice said.

Aloot was quoted in the article as saying his personal relationship with Rigg "is not a secret."

The source said Aloot "lobbied the government to set up a computer operation in the Marshalls and he expected to be a player in the action."

When reached for comment, Aloot said, there was nothing irregular about the transaction with DSSI.

"The government believed that if we use personal contact with the company, we could save," Aloot said. "I got the computers for the cheapest price, and there was never any question about the price of the computers. The transaction did not harm the government''

He said several people were involved in the transaction but was the

center of criticisms because he wa, a public figure.

It was the Social Security Administration which had entered into the contract with the DSSI.

Criticisms, he said, actually came from a "frustrated"' bidder.

Aloot laments the attacks he continously gets from critics despite his shift to the private sector.

"I'm a private citizen now and I don't think I should still be in the limelight," he said, describing his critics as people "who have nothing valuable in minds."

"We should move on and confront real life issues such as those that involve roads and classrooms."

A government spokesman said legislators elected Bernard Dowiyogo, 52, on Monday after they passed a vote of no confidence in l..agumotHanis, whqhadbeenpresident for about a year.

Dowiyogo had served as president

between 1976 and 1978 and then from 1989 until he was replaced by Harris in 1995.

Dowiyogo's return to office comes amid a long running dispute over the country's finances, which are in doubt as phosphate resources on the tiny island are exhausted.

Nauru is a remote lone island lying just south of the equator, 4,457 kilometers (2770 miles) south west of Honolulu.

Ithasalandmassofonly21 square

kilometers (8 square miles) and a population of about I 0,000.

Most of the island has been reduced a rocky mess after about a century of the mining of phosphate, used as fertilizer in Australia and New Zealand.

Mining, which is expected to stop before the end of the century, earned Nauru a fortune in royalties. However, much of the money has been lost through bad investments and mismanagement.

Australia warns PNG of aid cuts CANBERRA, Australia (AP) . Australia on Tuesday warned of cuts to its US $ 237 million (300 million Australian dollars) aid program to Papua New Guinea, citing increased taxpayer pressure for more accountability.

Papua New Guinea's government was also warned to curb falling employment rates and attract greater investment capital if it was to avoid a hefty aid cut.

Andrew Thomson, parliamentary secretary to Foreign Minister Alexander Downer, made the commentsataseminaronAustralia-Papua New Guinea relations.

He said aid arrangements between

the two countries were up for renegotiation in 1998.

Thomson, who has responsibility for foreign aid, said Australians had followed independent member of Parliament Pauline Hanson's lead on foreign aid. She has called for all foreign aid to be scrapped.

"It makes it cle.ar there is pressw-e out in the community for more accountability and what is the aid program actually achieving," Thomson said.

Prime Minister Jim Bolger, in a personal letter to Marshall Islands President Amata Kabua, said he was aware of"the good worlc being done (intheMarshalllslands)bythe Youth to Youth in Health program."

As a small mark of his appreciation for hospitality and kindness extendedtothe New Zealand delegation to the recently concluded South Pacific Forum meeting, Bolger said; "I am arranging for a check for US $10,000 to be sent" to the program by the New Zealand government.

Youth to Youth in Health was established 10 years ago to involve young Marshall Islanders in promotingawarenessoffamil y planning in a country that at that time had an out -of-control population growth rate of more than four percent a year.

Although still high, the growth rate declined significantly in the early 1990s.

The youth health program,

which has grown into an established non-govemmentorganiz.ation with about a dozen full time staff, trainsyoungpeopleaspeereducators who tum share health information and promote behavior change among other youth and community as a whole.

MaritaEdwin,directoroftheyouth health program, said they were delighted with the New Z.ealand donation because it will support development of a new youth health center for the capital city of Majuro, which has few facilities of any kind for young people.

The new youth health center will includeclinic, training, health outreach and sports facilities for young people. The Asian Development Bank is putting funds into the center, and many others are also contributing, she added.

In his letter to Kabua, Bolger made note of Youth to Youth in Health's founder and former director, Darlene Keju-Johnson, who died in June of breast cancer.

RP pins hope on By CLARO CORTES

MANILA, Philippines ~AP) . Squatters' shacks are being demolished, years of air pollution scrubbed from buildings, boulevards widened, and street children rounded up.

For the Philippines, hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit marks. its recovery from a decade of debilitating stagnation. For its corning-out party, the government is putting on its best face and beginning to address long-tolerated ills.

But critics say the preparations are mainly window dressing and many of the country's painful problems remain.

Poverty remains acute in this country, particularly in the countryside, where economic growth has had little impact for many and 53 percent of the population lives below the poverty level, compared to 28 percent of city dwellers.

."The government wants to make it appear that it has solved poverty in the Philippines," said Gerrniniano Gonzales, a construe-

tion worker who lives inasoon-tobe-<lemolished squatter colony near the convention center where many of the Nov. 20-25 APEC meetings will be held.

"It wants to sweep us under the rug and then tell the foreigners that there are no more poor people in the country," he said.

Economic liberalization and improved political stability achieved by President Fidel Ramos have helped the Philippines shake off a decade of malaise during which its economy virtually stood still. Last

year, the government achieved a target of $ 1,000 for per capita income three years early, and in the first half of this year gross national product surged 7 .06 percent.

But many in the countryside seeking a better life migrate to the cities, only to find few available jobs, and are forced to become squatters.

To make sure that the APEC guests have a good first impression of the Philippines, roads leading from the airport into Manila have been widened. Plants have been added to long-neglected parks and squatters evicted from the banks of putrid canals along the way.

Tensofthousandsofthecapital's. 3 million squatters are expected to be moved to settlements by the time the leaders from 18 AsiaPacific nations arrive.

Government buildings near the convention center have been scrubbed, and the20-year-oldcen- · ter has been given new ceilings and fixtures. Vendors have been evicted from the center's grounds and beggars forced off nearby streets.

Elsewhere in Manila, street children have been taken into protective custody and portable stalls in markets banned, even though officials insist both steps are unrelated to APEC.

Many Manilans are pleased with the improvements, and say they wish the Philippines could host the summit each year so it had a reason to clean up the capital, one of Asia's dirtiest.

"With or without APEC, Manila should look beautiful," said garden supervisor Nicolas Arcales, as he oversaw the planting of adelfa and calachuchi trees on the center divider of Roxas Boulevard, which runs in front of the convention center.

But critics recall the short-lived beautification campaigns, squatter expulsions and rounding up of street children that accompanied previous events such as the Miss

Universe contest in 1994 and an International Monetary Fund meeting in 1976.

They say tough security preparations and forced squatter evictions violate the country's 10-year-old democracy, and that the government shouldn't spend its limited money in an attempt to impress APEC delegates.

Juanita Mal to, deputy directorgeneral of the APEC national organizing committee, defends the steps, saying they are necessary to host the summit properly.

"The state has the right to promote itself," he says. "We have nothing to hide. We have even scheduled a convoy of leaders to pass through areas where they will be able to see colonies of squatters."

The summit is expected to at~ tract about 3,000 delegates and 2,000 journalists. About 400 business leaders are participating in a separate APEC Business Advisory Committee.

The government plans to spend 387.5 million pesos ($ 14.9 million) for the summit, and private companies are contributing millions more.

The bulk of the budget will be used to beautify or rnnovate the conference sites, but 23 percent, or 91.5 million pesos ($ 3.5 million), will be for the largest security effort ever undertaken by the Philippine police and military, involving 26,000 personnel.

To win over public support for the summit, the Ramos government has praised economic advantages the Philippines will receive from APEC, and has offered$ 100 of duty-free shopping to all Filipinos over the age of 15 during the summit period.

But the many people who don't have that much money to spend remain less than enthusiastic.

"APEC has become a swear word for the urban poor," a group of slum dwellers said in a statement at a recent anti-APEC protest. ,...,, ~--...,.

FCC plan earns • praise A PROPOSAL made by a special panel of the Federal Telecommunications to bring affordable, quality telephone service to all citizens of the United States, including the CNMI,hasearnedkudosfromGov. Froilan C. Tenorio.

In a news release, Tenorio hailed a 400-page report from a FederalStateJoint Board saying it supports many of the CNMI' s proposed improvements in the area of telecommunications.

"The recommendations that the Board has made are an important step toward bringing telecommunications in the CNMI up to the level of the service elsewhere in the United States," said Tenorio.

According to the release, the Board spent eight months reviewing 40,000 pages of testimony and evidence, including that from Dave Ecret, the Governor's Special Assistant for Telecommunications and Utilities, who addressed the Board in Washington, D.C. last September.

In its report, the Board urged that universal service support be provided for basic voice grade access to the public telephone network.

It added that support should also be provided to give all consumers, no matter where they Ii ve, access to operator services, directory assistance, long distance services and enhanced 911 emergency service.

The Board recommended that rural telephone companies serving insular areas (such as the CNMI) be entitled to receive support based on "embedded costs" as opposed to a proxy cost model.

It said such an approach should help ensure that support is tailored to actual historical costs, as opposed to a formula that may not reflect the high costs incurred in serving the CNMI, said the release.

Under the plan, states of governing authorities will be made to make the primary determination of whether telecommunications rates are affordable in each region.

These authorities should then have the final choice on which remedial steps should be taken to make rates affordable, the Board said.

Among the benefits available to telecommunications users in the Commonwealth would he a reduction in monthly service charges through federal grants to low-income users of as much as $7 per month.

Discounts in such services as toll blocking and toll limitation would also be available universally, the

"We have long advocated greater access to the Internet for the citizens of the CNMI. The Internet is an essential educational tool and our students have gone without adequate access for far too long," said Tenorio.

The financial burden on China's farmers is a politically explosive matter because traditionally Chinese dynasties were toppled by peasant revolts following long periods of oppression.

The ruling Communists came to power by winning the support of China's downtrodden farmers with promises of a better life.

Farmers' lives have improved dramatically during China's 17 years of economic reforms, but in recent years their incomes have actually dropped, eroded by inflation, heavy fees and an inability to coax the land to produce beyond capacity.

The fees, for everything from "toilet management" to road construction, have driven some farmers to suicide and others to riot.

N. Korea not keen on peace talks SEOUL, South Korea (AP) . Angered by a U.S. demand that it apologize for its recent submarine incursion in South Korea, North Korea threatened Monday not lo enter proposed four-way talks on bringing peace to divided Korea.

In April, President Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young-sam proposed talks in which the two Koreas would discuss officially ending their 1950-53 Korean Warwithapeacetreaty. Washington and Beijing would sit in as mediators.

North Korea held back, demanding a detailed explanation by the U.S. government. Washington has been negotiating with Pyongyang on allowing South Korea to join in the briefing.

But these negotiations hit a snag when a North Korean submarine . was found grounded off the South's cast coast, straining already tense relations between the two Koreas.

U.S. officials, including Ambassador James T. Laney, have said there would be no further peace overtures, including the planned briefing, until North Korea apologizes for the sub's incursion.

"The DPRK (North Korea) is compelled to interpret this as a revocation of the four--way talks," a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman told Pyongyang's official Korean Centraf News Agency.

"We have not had much interest in the proposed four-way talks, the content and purpose of which are obscure, still less pinned any hope on them," said the unnamed spokesman.

He said North Korea now has no need to hear any explanation about the peace proposal.

On Sunday, Laney told South Korea's Yonhap TV that before the submarine incident, North Korea indicated it might participate in the three-party briefing.

Laney backed South Korea's stand that it won't discuss peace with and aid to North Korea unless Pyongyang's communist

leaders apologize for the submarine incursion.

In the Sept. 18 incursion, 26 North Korean commandos came ashore, touching off a massive manhunt. Twenty-four intruders have been killed or found dead. One has been captured and another remains at large.

South Korea says the sharkclass submarine was on a spy mission. The North, claiming that the vessel drifted with engine trouble during a training mission, has promised "thousandfold" retaliation for the killings.

South Korea responded by severing all contact with North Korea and indicated that it would sc.ale back its participation in building two nuclear reactors in the North, promised undera U.S.brokered 1994 accord.

Under the accord, North Korea has frozen its suspect nuclear program in exchange for two lightwater reactors to replace its graphite-moderated reactors, which produce greater amounts of weapons-grade plutonium.

South Korea is the major financier of the $ 5 billion reactor project.

Its withdrawal would jeopardize the historic nuclear accord, which the Clinton admi

nistration has called a ·major foreign policy achievement.

Also Sunday, Kim Tae-zhee, Sou th Korea's ambassador in Tokyo, said the 1994 nuclearaccord "was not to our liking, but we went along with it .to create momentum toward talks between the two sides."

The Koreas have remained bitter rivals since their peninsula was divided into the communist North and the capitalist South in 1945. They fought a bloody war in the early 19 50s, but the conflict ended with a truce, not a peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula the last frontier of the Cold War.

The Korean border is the world's most heavily armed, with nearly 2 million troops on both sides. The United States fought onSouthKorea'ssideinthe 1950-53 war.

Telecom ups shares by lOOM BONN, Germany (AP) - Investor interest in Deutsche Telekom 's landmark initial public offering next week is so great !hat an additional 100 million shares wiJl be offered, the company said Monday.

In Europe's largest privatization, Telekom shares are to start trading Nov. 18 in Germany and the United States,

and in Japan a day later. Telekom, the world's third

largest telecommunications firm, said interest is so great that the number of shares to be offered is being increased from 500 million to 600 million.

"We are happy about the high involvement of private investors as well as the positive reaction of institutional investors to

our global offering of shares," Telekom chairman Rom Sommer said in a press release.

Ads announcing the additional shares appeared in leading German newspapers on Monday.

The additional shares will be distributed in a way that seeks a balance between German and international investors, as well

as between private and corporate investors, Telekom said.

With shares costing 25-30 marks ($ 16 to $ 20) each, Telekom said the value of the 600 million shares is 15 billion to 25 billion marks($ IO billion to $ 16 billion).

For months, Telekom has been bombarding the public with ads offering discounts in an unprec-

edented campaign to persuade traditionally cautious Germans to buy the stock.

Telekom, which has been criticized over the years for poor service and excessive bureaucracy, plans to use the money to help cut its c.lcbl and finance new projects to prepare for deregulation of Germany's telecommunications market in 1998.

Grains rise ahead of USDA report; Soybeans fall By CLIFF EDWARDS

NEW YORK (AP) - Wheat futures prices rose Monday on the Chicago Board of Trade amid expectations that the government will tighten U.S. ending reserves amid heavier-than-expected world demand. Com futures also rose, while soybean futures retreated.

On other markets, natural gas futures prices rose, while unleaded gasoline and coffee futures fell sharply.

The Agriculture Department early Tuesday was to release new supply and demand reports for grains, soybeans and cotton.

American and world wheat production is expected to increase sharply this year because of increased planting and good harvests. That has caused cash and futures prices to fall to l1alf their spring high of~ 7 .50 a bushel amid expected sharp declines in demand.

But exports have remained surprisingly strong as some countries take advantage of the lower prices, and the USDA is expected to lower <!nding supply to 375 million bushels from 470 million already forecast.

'The biggest factor people will

be looking at tomorrow with the expected increases in production is how much demand the USDA foresees in the coming months," said analyst Joel Karlin at Everen Securities Inc.

Wheat futures also gained amid continued strong demand for quality milling wheat. Supplies of soft and hard spring wheat are dwindling because of disease.

Corn futures edged higher despite expectations the USDA will increase expected production to about 9.2 billion bushels from 9.012 billion. The increase would be slightly less than was expected earlier this month.

Soybean futures prices re~ treated under heavy fund selling even though the USDA is expected to raise its production estimate by only 12 million bushels, to 2.358 billion. And strong demand is expected to reduce ,ending supplies to 183 million bushels from the 195 million estimated in October.

Wheat for December delivery rose 4 3/4 cents to $ 3.83 1/2 a bushel; December com rose 3/4 cent to$ 2.68 1/4 a bushel; November soybeans fell 7 3/4 cents

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 199.6 - MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-15

Vans fare badly in crash tests DETROIT (AP) · Minivan owners may have to pay a lot of money for minor fender-benders - even if they're slow drivers, says a new study that found vans fared poorly in low-speed bumper crash tests.

Nine popular vans averaged more than$ 1,400 in damage in 5-mph (8-kmph) tests, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said Monday.

''The manufacturers of most of the passenger vans the institute tested apparently haven't made much effort to ensure that the bumpers do what they' re supposed to do, which is bump without damage in low-speed impacts," said Brian O'Neill, the president of the

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The group tested the vans' front and rear bumpers, crashing them into flat barriers the width of the vehicle, running the front bumper into an angled barrier and running the rear bumper into a pole.

The 1996 Honda Odyssey sustained the least damage, averaging $ 474 per crash, while the 1996 Ford Aerostartopped the list with a dlrs 1,438 average.

"Being called the best aniong this group just means acceptable performance, not good," O'Neill said.

The institute also tested the 1996 models of the Nissan Quest, Dodge

Grand Caravan, Mazda MPV, ToyotaPreviaandChevroletAstro, as well as the 1997 Pontiac Grand Sport and 1995 Ford Windstar.

Only the Windstar and the Quest passed a test with no damage. The Quest averaged dirs 547 in daniage forthefourtests, while the Windstar averaged$ 500.

On theotherend, the Trans Sport, Previa and Aero star sustained more than $ 2,000 in damage in the rear pole crash alone. The Astra finished second-to worst with an average of 1,280 per crash.

The institute noted that there are no rules on how much bumpers should protect vans. Cars must be able to sustain a 2.5-mph ( 4-kmph)

Bresnihan also claimed that the insurance institute was pushing its own agenda.

"Their primary objective is to reduce payouts by member companies," he said, "and they' re not very interested whether that causes the car- and truck-buying public to pay more for vehicles."

caine," said the lieutenant governor.

He noted that the strongest dtug in the fifties and the sixties "was marijuana and that was it.''

"So certainly, times have change and so we have to change our code to be in line with the crimes that are being committed," he stressed.

Anotherarea that he said should be looked into is domestic abuse.

"I think that's another area where it appears we are finding out more and more to be more prevalent in our society. So we should take steps to l!y to curb that," he said.

The draft of the revised Commonwealth Criminal Code is now being reviewed and evaluated by a panel oflegal experts organized by the Administration, prior to submission to the Legislature.

The review committee is made up of Doug Muir.Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's counsel, Asst. AG Loren Sutton from the Attorney General's Office, Dan DeRienzo from the Public Defender's Office, JGO Chairman Oscar M. Babauta from the House of Representatives and one representative each from the Department of Public Safety and the Senate.

The rewriting of the CNMI Criminal Code was deemed necessary on the observation that the current code is outdated. But for some minor revisions, the code has remained virtually-unchanged from the day it was originaly enacted.

The code rev'ision project was assigned to Special AG Cheryl Gill, who used to be chief of the criminal division of the AG's Office. She was hired in April of last year and the job was finished early this year.

With the new draft now being circulated for comment, Congressman Stanley T. Torres has come out publicly criticizing Gill's product, saying it is "grossly inadequate."

names nor say if there had been favors granted.

1-Ie said though that a Congressman once personally sought him inquiring on allegations that

· he was singling out night clubs owned by non-Filipinos in the DOLI's campaign against minors hired as dancers and wait -resses.

"A Congressman had expressed his concern over my alleged personal conspiracy with the Philippine Consulate ... that we were targetting all non-Filipino nightclub owners and I flatly denied it" he said. He explained that clubs subjected to searches are scheduled by a different DOU office.

. ;He brought it up to me person-

ally. He said a constituent has told him about it," he said.

Aguilar said the campaign went on despite the "inquiries."

He said at least five nightclubs, all owned by non-Filipinos, have so far been searched. No minors have been found.

Meantime, Camacho agreed the DOU is a potential hotbed of co1ruption saying "control measures are being implemented to avoid the slide to such state."

He admitted there were "isolated" cases of DOLI personnel found accepting bribes but stressed that such incidents should not be "generalized.''

"Anywhere, whenever you assess penalties to people, the1e 's bound to bealotofprcssureandourpeopleme bound to resist. There may be isolated cases but if someone fails, only that person fails, it should not be seen as a failure of the Department," he said .
