It was overheard that Palacios was implying that he is being treated shabbily because he was a Democrat noted to have supported erstwhilespeaker-aspirant Jesus Mafhas. Other angles being looked into was that he did not want his room because it was not yet cleaned up.
However, both of these theories have remained mere speculation as Palacios was not presentinhis outdooroffice when sought for comment.

Congressmen George Miller and Ron De Lugo, Chairmen of the Committee and the Subcommittee on Insular and International Affairs, respectively said in a letter that the Bush Administration seems not to be making a good faith effort to develop the required recommendations for future assistance for a multi-year period beginning next fiscal year under Section 702 of the Covenant.
Meetings between representatives of both the US and the CNMI side that were required to begin by last September 30 were suspended by the US representative, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Stella Guerra in a letter dated October 3 to her CNMI counterpart.
Guerra was quoted in her letter saying that “ issues have arisen
which force me to . suspend further discussion on the 702 negotiations.”
Furthermore, the meetings have resumed despite repeated re-
• quests by the CNMI governor’s chief representative, Lt. Gov. Benjamin T. Manglona that they do so.
To date, Guerra appears not ready yet to resume discussions, and this was viewed by Manglona to be violative of the Covenant.
“We seek good faith negotiations with the US,” said a January 7 letter by Manglona to another Bush representative, Lou Gallegos, on what,is knoitai as 902 consultations.
Gallegos was on Saipan during the last round of the said talks and a request was aired that he urge the US president’s 702 representative to resume negotiations for
the third multi-year funding package for the CNMI. #
US Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan was also recipient of at least a couple' of letters from Manglona since the October letter from Guerra was received. t
“We believe that she is being blocked from completing the mandate in Section 702 of th£ Covenant that requires her to medfc with our special representative» at least one year prior to the expiration of the present seven-year" agreement,” Manglona told Lujan.lt was further believed that· the issue of funding levels may not be the primary reason that is keeping the US from meeting its commitment to negotiate in good faith on the matter.

Mafnas, Herman, San Nicolas top Senate absentee list
by Rafael H. Arroyo
The Seventh NMT Legislature’s House of the Senate closed sine die last January 11 with three members of the minority coming up with the most absences for the total 48 session days for the whole two-year term.
Gamering-the most number of absences was Seventh Legislature Senator Jose P. Mafnas who missed a total of 25 session days, followed by Herman R. Guerrero who was absence 22 times. Third on the list of top absentees was Erstwhile Senate Vice President Henry DLG. San Nicolas who mustered 14 session day missed.
Mafhas arnhSan Nicolas were both senators from Tinian while Guerrero was a senator from the
third senatorial district that is Saipan.
Next on the list is Tinian Senator Francisco M. Borja with 13; Senator Jesus R. Sablan, 12; Senator Juan S. Torres, 11; Edward U. Maratita, 4; Senator Paul A. Manglona, 3; and Senate president Joseph S. Inos with the least number of session days missed with one absence, and an excused one at that.
Of Mafnas’ 25 absences, 14 are unexcused, while Guerrero had only 8 of his absences not officially excused. San Nicolas had four unexcused ones.
“The Seventh Legislature started late,” said Inos as he rationalized on the reasons behind the absence and performance record of the 7th Senate. “The question
of leadership which came to the fore afterthe inauguration wherein the post of president was bitterly contested January last year.”
It was not until March that the Senate all worked as a team, after the Supreme Court issued a ruling that installed Inos the rightful senate president.
Even after the court ruling was. handed down, a grudge feeling prevailed in the Senate, especially among the three minorities, who felt they were being left out in the cold.
“The three minority members felt a bit inferior prompting them to miss a few sessions, meetings, or any organized conference among senators,” said Inos.

Being worthy of helpRecent developments in the conduct of the talks for a new
multi-year financial package from the United. States takes an ugly turn as Lieutenant Governor Benjamin T. Manglons spilled the beans and made public a couple of letters indicating a cessation of the 702 process.
The prospects of getting a fresh, package of Covenant fund ing seemed to dim further in the light of the CNMI governm en t's defiance of the inspector General assertion that it snould do an audit of internal funds.
Tne writing on the wall is clear — the United States has oecom e a bit too reluctant to give in to the demand by the CNMi government for adherence to the provisions of a Covenant that has long linked both peoples in a close relationship.
Definitely, the US government is slowly but surely flexing its muscles, seemingly unmindful of whatever vehement reaction or disappointment the CNMI manifests on both the 702 and the 902 process.
Indeed, the CNMI is in a no-win situation. It can always use the Covenant as an argument to the apparent inaction on the issues set forth in sections 902 and 702, but then who cares?
The Covenant will only work if both sides show an unequivocal adherence to its mandate, if there is that thing called bilateral concurrence.
What the US side is showing is indifference, more of insensitivity rather than just being practical.
When Stella Guerra went here more than two months ago, she urged the CNMI government to be more wary of its expenditures. She stressed the need for a sounder fiscal management, a more skillful harnessing of our financial potentials apparently laying the groundwork for the big kill — You guys may have to expect the worst, and that is a more austere existence because your US benefactors may have to cut down on its expenses.
Fiscal management, auditing of its own resources, seems to be out of its course as Manglona was not able to mention these factors in his letters. Come to think of it, the problem may have lain there. We have refused to submit ourselves to US control measures that may have prompt the US to think that we may not be capable of handling our own resource management. Whether it is the US side or the CNMI side that does not pinpoint where the problem is, there should be a clear cut definition on what should be the case.
Ultimately, it becomes apparent that the 702 conduct pf talks may hinge on a 902 issue, and that is on the IG audit.
The position that there is a need for the feds to enter the scene and audit local revenues imply that the U S may have no trust on our fiscal management abilities and so the 702 funding goes on a standstill, nuch less a stalemate.
I think we have to reassess our capabilities and that includes asking ourselves, “Will we be able to show them that we are worthy of another 702 package?”
The answer, and what the US would think, is anchored on our efforts. If we do good, we can look our US benefactors in the eye and say we deserve their help.

Dear Editor:General election for the Island
of Palau will be held this coming November which is about ten months away.
At that time registered voters both in Palau and abroad will be voting for the president, vice- president, 'go'vemors, and members of the Olbill Era Kelulau.
Editor, with this letter, I would like to ask all registered voters in Palau and abroad not to vote for any Political candidate who is also a businessman. This practice have kept the government of Palau in a limbo for several years and will continue until the Palauans elect someone wlfo cares about the fu
ture of Palau.For the past several years the
elected leaders in Palau are all businessmen. They don’t worry about the future of Palau because they are already rich and powerful and they want things to stay that way. What about the jobless and those who are breaking the law so they can live. What about the old people who also breaks the law so their families can live. Who is supposed to help them, the Free Association form of Government?
When I read in the news that Palauans were arrested on Guam and on Saipan for smuggling marijuana,.sixty some years old women one was arrested on Saipan and one on Guam for doing the same thing, I begin to think why? They know that they will be caught but still they have to make that sacrifice for a dollar.
Would you blame sixty some years old lady smuggling marijuana to Guam or Saipan? Would you blame young Palauans filling up jail house on Guam and Saipan for smuggling marijuana? That sixty some years old womanneeds to sacrifice her last days on earth so her children can live. These kind of practices only shows the living condition in Palau. No jobs and very low salary for those who are -already working.
I have strong feeling that Palau is going to be another Philippines in this part of the Pacific where the rich get richer and stronger and the poor are continuing smuggling and fighting for survival.
Put Free Association form of
government in the closet and lock it, it doesn’t work and you can see it.

I was indeed the timekeeper on the game between M PI and PDL. If you still believe that the buzzer sounded first before the whistle of the referee, let me ask you this question? How come your player still fouled the opposing player for that instance and how come the opposing player still drive to the basket if indeed the buzzer have already been sounded. The first reaction of any player is to stop at the sound of a whistle or of the buzzer and the timekeeper w ill also react to the sound of a whistle to stop the clock. A referee will only blow his whistle if there is an infraction or violation committed in the court. Even when the foul was committed simultaneously with the buzzer the foul is still within the game time.

Chamber's Ayuyu bows out, urges reforms for businessby Rafael H. Arroyo
The economic future of the CNMI is in grave danger of getting substantially harmed through unplanned development, and this brings the need for sounderpublic policies to the fore.
Erstwhile Saipan .Chamber of Commerce President Jose T. Ayuyu, as he relinquished his post to incoming president Dennis Yoshimoto, expressed the views and sentiments of the business sector on certain problems and issues plaguing the economy and recommended measures to address them.
Among the pressing problems that he said needed attentionfrom government policy makers were pertaining to the environment, infrastructure, the lack of a competent local labor force, the standstill in land exchange disposition that has been hurting d- 'elopment, an apparently “demanding” stance towards developers, and other pieces of legislation that could benefit business but has remained unacted on by the Legislature.
In his speech during the induction ceremonies for the new leadership pf the Chamber, Ayuyu aired his concern that the CNMI may be in grave danger of substantially and permanently harming its economy through unplanned development that has been polluting land and waters.
“This is creating ugly business development along what was once our beautiful tropical roads and beaches,” said Ayuyu.
The CNM I’s economy is anchored on a tourism industry that capitalizes on the beauty of the
islands’ natural and man-made environment as a come on for visitors longing for a tropical destination.
Ayuyu warned that if the natural beauty of Saipan is destroyed through unplanned and unregulated development this may drive away visitors and close down its economic engine — the tourism industry.
“Our tourist industry is based on Saipan having a clean, clear beautifiil lagoon with gorgeous beaches, lovely tropical flowers and trees, breath-taking views from our cliffs, and a magic environment that is quite different from the crowded urban conditions where our tourists come from,” said Ayuyu.
Tourists, especially from Japan, pay good money to enjoy the fantasy of tropical island beauty and friendliness. Visitors have been a main source of revenue for the island, and their money creates jobs andhelps provide the services that the citizenry enjoy.
Ayuyu stressed that the beauty of the islands and the friendliness of the people must be maintained lest the CNMI might lose the economic advantages gained in the past decade.
Among the pressing public policy matters that can yield advantages out of a partnership between government and business is the attainment of adequate infrastructure for the population and for new development.
In the last two years there have been considerable improvements in road paving, and in improved utilities services, but much remains to be done before a competitive tourist destination is
attained in an increasingly sophisticated world tourist market.
A bill that aims to set a developer infrastructure tax is currently in the Legislature to provide for a flat rate share from developers on the costs of setting up the needed infrastructure for the development.
Formerly, a 12% developer’s tax was proposed, but this has
Jose T. Ayuyu been trimmed down to a 7% flat rate, apparently to make CNMI competitive to other investment destinations in the Pacific region.
Ayuyu said the Chamber is in support of the 7% rate and has strongly urged the Legislature to pass the said measure saying that there is no more important public policy action for infrastructure than this program.
It was alleged that all too often in the Commonwealth, an agreement is reached with the government, and then the government w ill come back with added conditions or demands that are difficult or impossible for the investor to meet and that change the entire financial health of the pro-
posed business.Investors usually have severe
limits on the amounts of money they can raise,, and those limits are based upon realistic expectations of the profitability of proposed businesses.
The government can not expect to reach deeper and deeper into developers’ pockets by adding demands late in the negotiation process without driving away individual developers and without getting a harmful reputation for arbitrary and unreasonable demands.^ ‘Fairness and predictability is
exactly what is needed to attract and keep development in the Commonwealth,” said Ayuyu.
Another area of fairness that business people want is. in utilities services, charges anddeposits. Electrical charges are a substantial part of the cost of doing business in Saipan.
Businesses are said to have been complaining that the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation is demanding extremely high deposits before it w ill connect new businesses.
It was alleged that CUC has not publicize a refund policy, and this has left investors and businesses in the dark as to the fate of their CUC deposits for infrastructure.
According to Ayuyu, one of the most disappointing aspects of infrastructure development in Saipan is the delay in the construction of a new port facility, considering that the economic lifeblood of the isl and depends on cargo flow through the crowded, dilapidated, and inadequate port.
Most of the island’s international trade passes by ship and
that includes most foodstuff being consumed in the island.
Currently, Charlie Dock is plagued with a shortage of berthing and wharfage facilities causing bottlenecks and unnecessary delay s in the deli very of goods and cargo to business and private individuals.
Port authorities claim that such a rehabilitation of the said port is being hindered by lack of funding.
“We deserve a better port and we want action now to improve it. We have waited, too long. If funds are limited, let us start with what we have and raise what we need,” said Ayuyu in his speech.
Sensing that a big funding is needed for the port, he suggested that a reasonable percentage of the developer infrastructure tax, be put into port development at the earliest possible time.
“The Chamber should stand ready to work with the Commonwealth Ports Authority, the Legislature, and the administration to break the port bottleneck and get construction started as soon as possible,” Ayuyu main-, tained.
The next issue that the expresident tackled in his speech was on a chronic labor shortage facing the business community.
Businessmen were said to have been diligently looking for local people to hire, both out of a sense of community spirit and because it makes good business sense to build a stable, trained local work force.
Observers have noted that alien labor is much more expensive than local labor since an employer still

Labor, environmental issu es, top new Chamber prexy’s agendaby Rafael H. Arroyo
Newly-installed Saipan Chamber of Commerce President Dennis Yoshimoto saidlast week that his leadership in the new Chamber would focus on finding ways to address three issues that are of critical importance to the future economic growth of the CNMI.
Speaking before a large group of government, private sector, and community representatives who came to witness the inductionrites for the Chamber’s new set of officers, Yoshimoto said the programs on education, environment, and economic development w ill be tops in his agenda for his one-year term 4s president.
Yoshimoto, in his speech, pointed out that one of the more pressing concerns of the Chamber and the business community as a whole is on the education of the local workforce.
According to Yoshimoto, businesses are desperately seeking qualified employees from the local workforce but that skills are lacking.
“Our educational system needs help. The children we educate today will be the policy makers and business leaders of tomorrow.But sadly, our local boys grow up
lacking in skills, punctuality, the proper yvork attitude, and sènse of responsibility,” said Yoshimoto.
In response to this, it was said that the Chamber plans to organize and host a CNMI-wide education conference to attract local and international experts to assist in analyzing the different issues of concern in the system.
The main thrust of the said conference is to identify major educational needs and problems; to formulate visions, practical solutions, and implementation strategies.
Another major focus that Yoshimoto outlined is with regards to the appreciation, protection, and nurturing of the environment, to include issues on land, water, and the atmosphere.
A Beautification Committee is set to be established to undertake a campaign against litter and trash as part of an island-wide cleanup effort earlier initiated.
Yoshimoto said the Chamber plans to bring environmental awareness to the community to by sponsoring or promoting community action programs which w ill educate the citizens and involve them on the importance of a clean environment and the need to protect and nurture it.
Article I Section 9 of the Com-
monwealth Constitution guarantees the right to a clean and healthful public environment to each individual and Yoshimoto indicated that theGhamber would take firm stands against major health hazards and threats to the CNM I’s delicate ecological balance.
Mentioned as violations of that basic right was the dumping of raw sewage into the lagoon, the burning of trash at the Puerto Rico Dump, and the contamination of our groundwater.
According to Yoshimoto, the preservation of the environment has become a global concern and should not be of any less concern to the island.
“Our tropical environment, the clean air, beautiful beaches, and blue lagoons serve as magnets to the tourist industry. These are the island’s most precious assets. We destroy these, assets and we destroy the tourism industry. We destroy our tourism industry and we destroy the major source of livelihood for our citizens,” said Yoshimoto.
Remedial measures on environment issues are being addressed to by the CNMI Zoning Board, which was created some time back to lead Saipan towards quality development,
considering that the environment was said to have encompassed the unsightly structures popping up, helter-skelter all over the island.
It was pointed out that the Chamber has been instrumental in the creation of zoning laws and shall continue to support zoning legislation until the final stages of development:
The environment issue then shifted to the issue facing business and the community — the management of the economic growth and development.
According to Yoshimoto, the economic development that the CNM I has been witnessing over the last seven years is unplanned, and uncontrolled, resulting in social and cultural impacts not being readily realized.
“ If left to continue unchecked, this may inflict long-term environmental and economic damages,” the Chamber president said.
A workshop that focuses on the developmental issues foreseen for the year 2001 was. recently conducted by the Chamber in search for a viable growth strategy and direction the CNMI may take.
Dubbed as the Year 2001 Conference, the workshop is the first of a series of conferences planned in by the Chamber designed to
Dennis Yoshimoto stimulate input from all sectors of the community for the purpose of formulating a vision of how Saipan would be like in the 21 si century.
This year, the Chamber will be finalizing the report on the conference, includingrecommendations for the Commonwealth’s planners and decision makers. It w ill then proceed to organize a follow-up conference which w ill concentrate on the practical aspects of implementation to realize the visions drawn up.
“ the product of our conferences w ill have lasting benefits for all future generations," said Yoshimoto.

“Our tropical environment, the clean air, beautiful beaches, and blue lagoons serve as magnets to the tourist industry. These are the island’s most precious assets. We destroy these, assets and we destroy the tourism industry. We destroy our tourism industry and we destroy the major source of livelihood for our citizens,” said Yoshimoto.
Remedial measures on environment issues are being addressed to by the CNMI Zoning Board, which was created some time back to lead Saipan towards quality development,
considering that the environment was said to have encompassed the unsightly structures popping up, helter-skelter all over the island.
It was pointed out that the Chamber has been insthimental in the creation of zoning laws and shall continue to support zoning legislation until the final stages of development:
The environment issue then shifted to the issue facing business and the community — the management of the economic growth and development.
According to Yoshimoto, the economic development that the CNMI has been witnessing over the last seven years is unplanned, and uncontrolled, resulting in social and cultural impacts not being readily realized.
“If left to continue unchecked, this may inflict long-term environmental and economic damages,” the Chamber president said.
A workshop that focuses on the developmental issues foreseen for the year 2001 was recently conducted by the Chamber in search for a viable growth strategy and direction the CNMI may take.
Dubbed as the Year 2001 Conference, the workshop is the first of a series of conferences planned in by the Chamber designed to
Dennis YosNmoto stimulate input from all sectors of the community for the purpose of formulating a vision of how Saipan would be like in the 21st century.. This year, the Chamber will be
finalizing the report on the conference, includingrecommendations for the. Commonwealth’s planners and decision makers. It w ill then proceed to organize a follow-up conference which w ill concentrate on the practical aspects of implementation to realize the visions drawn up.
“ the product of our conferences w ill have lasting benefits for all future generations,” said Yoshimoto.

The economic future of the CNMI is in grave danger of getting substantially harmed through unplanned development, and this brings the need for sounder public policies to the fore.
Erstwhile Saipan .Chamber of Commerce President Jose T. Ayuyu, as he relinquished his post to incoming president Dennis Yoshimoto, expressed the views and sentiments of the business sector on certain problems and issues plaguing the economy and recommended measures to address them.
Among the pressing problems that he said needed attention from government policy makers were pertaining to the environment, infrastructure, the lack of a competent local labor force, the standstill in land exchange disposition that has been hurting d· 'elopment, an apparently “demanding” stance towards developers, and other pieces of legislation that could benefit business but has remained unacted on by the Legislature.
In his speech during the induction ceremonies for the new leadership pf the Chamber, Ayuyu aired his concern that the CNMI may be in grave danger of substantially and permanently harming its economy through unplanned development that has been polluting land and waters.
“This is creating ugly business development along what was once our beautiful tropical roads and beaches,” said Ayuyu.
The CNMI’s economy is anchored on a tourism industry that capitalizes on the beauty of the
islands’ natural and man-made environment as a come on for visitors longing for a tropical destination.
Ayuyu warned that if the natural beauty of Saipan is destroyed through unplanned and unregulated development this may drive away visitors and close down its economic engine — the tourism industry.
“Our tourist industry is based on Saipan having a clean, clear beautifiil lagoon with gorgeous beaches, lovely tropical flowers and trees, breath-taking views from our cliffs, and a magic environment that is quite different from the crowded urban conditions where our tourists come from,” said Ayuyu.
Tourists, especially from Japan, pay good money to enjoy the fantasy of tropical island beauty and friendliness. Visitors have been a main source of revenue for the island, and their money creates jobs andhelps provide the services that the citizenry enjoy.
Ayuyu stressed that the beauty of the islands and the friendliness of the people must be maintained lest the CNMI might lose the economic advantages gained in the past decade.
Among the pressing public policy matters that can yield advantages out of a partnership between government and business is the attainment of adequate infrastructure for the population and for new development.
In the last two years there have been considerable improvements in road paving, and in improved utilities services, but much remains to be done before a competitive tourist destination is
attained in an increasingly sophisticated world tourist market.
A bill that aims to set a developer infrastructure tax is currently in the Legislature to provide for a flat rate share from developers on the costs of setting up the needed infrastructure for the development.
Formerly, a 12% developer’s tax was proposed, but this has
Jose T. Ayuyu been trimmed down to a 7% flat rate, apparently to make CNMI competitive to other investment destinations in the Pacific region.
Ayuyu said the Chamber is in support of the 7% rate and has strongly urged the Legislature to pass the said measure saying that there is no more important public policy action for infrastructure than this program.
It was alleged that all too often in the Commonwealth, an agreement is reached with the government, and then the government w ill come back with added conditions or demands that are difficult or impossible for the investor to meet and that change the entire financial health of the pro
posed business.Investors usually have severe
limits on the amounts of money they can raise,, and those limits are based upon realistic expectations of the profitability of proposed businesses.
The government can not expect to reach deeper and deeper into developers’ pockets by adding demands late in the negotiation process without driving away individual developers and without getting a harmful reputation for arbitrary and unreasonable demands.^ ‘Fairness and predictability is
exactly what is needed to attract and keep development in the Commonwealth,” said Ayuyu.
Another area of fairness that business people want is. in utilities services, charges and deposits. Electrical charges are a substantial part of the cost of doing business in Saipan.
Businesses are said to hav e been complaining that the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation is demanding extremely high deposits before it w ill connect new businesses.
It was alleged that CUC has not publicize a refund policy, and this has left investors and businesses in the dark as to the fate of their CUC deposits for infrastructure.
According to Ayuyu, one of the most disappointing aspects of infrastructure development in Saipan is the delay in the construction of a new port facility, considering that the economic lifeblood of the island depends on cargo flow through the crowded, dilapidated, and inadequate port.
Most of the island’s international trade passes by ship and

Convicted 'ice' dealer sentenced to five years
by Teri M. Flores
Convicted drug dealer John San Niqolas Borja was sentenced on Monday to a five year prison term and to pay a $35,000 fine after he was convicted by a federal jury of conspiracy to distribute crystal methamphetamine.
Borja w ill also be subject to a five year probation after he completes his sentence in a medium security facility wherehe will also be undergoing drugrehabilitation.
Boija, 33, together with Luis Aguon Reyes, were both indicted by a federal grand jury last Sep-
tember on charges- of conspiracy to distribute the deadly drug known as “ ice or shabu.”
A five-men, eight-women jury convicted him in November after hearing the testimony of federal and local agents and Reyes, a former cohort turned government witness.
Reyes testified that Borja was a supplier of ice and that he also packaged and sold the drugs. He also admitted that he was privy to a drug transaction where Borja netted $35,000 and that prior to their August 5 arrest, he had smoked ice with Boija.
Court nixes bid to preempt GSLA branch here

Atalig’s decision is just an answer to Bank of Saipan’s lawsuit which also seeks the court to revoke GSLA ’s charter on the basis of its ownership.
Bank of Saipan sought for a preliminary injunction againstthe GSLA whom they argued, didnot meet the 51 % local majority ownership requirements stipulated in the CNMI’s Banking Act.
Bank of Saipan lawyer Michael Dotts claimed that such stipulation was aimed at protecting the local bank and to assure local control of over the lending policies.
In response to Dott’s claims, the Attorney General’s Office made it clear in a memorandum opposing the temporary injunction against GSLA that “state banks,” or those which have been organized or chartered under U.S. laws or one its territories can be licensed to do business in the CNML
Government lawyers argued that as a state bank, the GSLA can open business in the CNM3 although it does not have the required 51% local ownership.
Guam Savings originally planned to open its Garapan branch within this month. A previous interview with owner Philip Flores indicated that despite the lawsuit, plans to open a Northern Marianas branch w ill definitely materialize.
At present, there are five financial institutions operating in the CNMI and majority of them are not locally owned. Two institutions, Banks of Guam and Hawaii were already established prior to the enactment of the 1984 Banking Code.

Governor urges prompt action on homesteads
by Rafael H. Arroyo
Governor Lorenzo I. DL. Guerrero earlier this week expressed concern about the number of indigenous people unable to secure homestead sites, and urged Marianas Public Land Corporation to expedite the processing of homestead applications at the earliest possible time.
In a letter to MPLC Executive Director William R. Concepcion, Guerrero came out with a suggestion that priorities be established by the Corporation to accommodate all pending homestead applicants.
"I know it's a tough job to administer the homestead program. Doubtless, MPLC is committed to the homestead principle, but I ask you to expedite the process so that all qualified homestead applicants can get on their homestead land at the earliestmoment,” the governor wrote Concepcion.
It was observed that some of the Commonwealth's indigenous folkhavebeen waiting on the fists for a long time, and are growing tired of waiting.
"As long as adequate public real estate remains, I believe every qualified applicant should be offered a site," said Guerrero.
On a related matter, Guerrero said that the homestead program does not end with site selection, but also should include the provision of good public utilities.
With regards the selection of sites for future homestead tracts, the governor suggested that land parcels already served by utilities or at least close to existing services, be chosen.
According to the chief executive, placing homesteads in areas remote from power, water, sewer, and adequate roads only delays the arrival of these crucial services and and propels their costs to be high.
A course of action suggested was for the MPLC to consult the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation and the Department of Public Works when planning to open a new homestead area.
These utilities agencies are likewise engaged in long-range planning, which in turn should be coordinated with MPLC's.
A similar coordination effort with the Commonwealth Zoning Board was also suggested by Guerrero, saying that MPLC's future homestead sites should conform with zoning's designated residential districts.
Meanwhile, Governor Guerrero wrote a separate letter to both tho chief of the Division of Environmental Quality and the administrator of the Costal Resources Management Office to streamline the permitting process for new homestead sites.
"Many people have been waiting for a long time for their land, and one of the reasons often cited for the delay in expanding the ‘program are CRM and DEQ permitting requirements.
Realizing that it is crucial for the government to speed up the homestead program, the governor asked the two agencies to waive these requirements to the extent possible.
According to him, these cumbersome and intricate permitting steps required by the two agencies can unreasonably delay the opening of new homesteads.
He underscored his appreciation for the two agencies' concern for environmental apd natural resource protection saying constant
Gov. Lorenzo I. DL Guerrero vigilance over both public and private development is the price of preservation.
"I would never suggest, even for the sake of homesteads, that we abrogate our responsibility on that aspect. But surely some improvements could be made with permitting to allow a more rapid development of homestead tracts," he added.
Power outage on Sunday
There will be apower outage cm Sunday, January 19from8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for areas connected to Feeders 3,5 and 6. Die purpose of the outage is to connect Phase 2 of the new Power Plant into the distribution system.

Mystery continues to shroud boy's death
by Teri M. FloresWhile the community awaits
new information surrounding the mysterious death of a three year old boy whose body was retrieved from the shores of Micro Beach three weeks ago, formal charges have yet to be filed while authorities continue to withhold any official statement about the status of the case.
“The case is still open, new information has come in and we are still continuing our investigation,” Chief of Police Tony Reyes said. Reyes’ comments about the case is the nearest statement one can consider official as Chief Prosecutor Ron Hammett continues to maintain his silence.
Reyes, who together with Department of Public Safety Deputy of Administration Jerry Crisostomo went on an 8-day fact-finding trip to the Philippines, said there are currently th(ee detectives assigned to the investigation surrounding the death of Daniel Matthew

Pangilinan. They are also still awaiting the result of off-island laboratory tests conducted by accredited pathologists, Reyes said.
Late last week, Commonwealth Health Center pathologist Dr. Robert Hanan was reported to have issued the result of his findings which apparently, differs from the diagnosis made by a Guam based U .S. territories medical coroner.
Hanan’s findings indicated that Daniel may have died from a swollen brain due to increased pressure while Dr. Park on the other hand, was quoted as saying that drowning may have caused the child’s death. f
Despite claims that they have added information which may eventually lead to the prosecution of those responsible for the death of the toddler, Reyes said they are still trying to explore several possibilities before any formal charges can be logged in court.
“We are looking into the. angle of finding if a crime was committed and the cause behind the boy’s death. After that, we may finally file formal charges,” Reyes said.
The young Pangilinan’s body was found by a Fish and Wildlife enforcement officer during the late morning hours of December 25 almost near the vicinity of the Smiling Cove Marina.
Authorities decided at first to withhold the boy’s identity as according to them, the child’s mother refuses to admit her relationship with the boy. A week after reports about the dead boy was published, the AG ’s Office decided to release the identity of the toddler who was from the As Lito area.

Officials mull use of old Tinian runway
byTeri M. FloresPorts Authority officials are
getting ready to accommodate the DC 10’s and the jumbo 747’s expected to service Tinian once it becomes a part of the world’s famed casino industry.
Commonwealth Ports Authority (CPA)' Executive Director Roman Tudela said that plans are afoot in rehabilitating the 8,5000 feet long airport runway, situated north of the existing one, to accommodate the much larger aircrafts.
The planned expansion is addressed in the master plan for the interim expansion of the West Tinian Airport which is expected to be completed by early April by the Honolulu-based consulting

In the event Tinian experiences a boom owing to the success of the casino industry, Tudelacurrent plans call for the rehabilitation of the old runway while the existing one w ill be used as a taxi way. Such plans Tudela said, would entail less cost rather building a new airport runway.
Instead of following a specific time table, ports officials have opted to conform to a three-tier plan for the expansion of the West Tinian Airport facility. CPA Comptroller Carlos H. Salas said the plan to use about 6,000 feet of the old runway is just Phase I of the project. Succeeding phases w ill involve the construction of two jetways and eventually, the full utilization of the oldrunway, he Mid.
“Everything is contingentupon how this casino industry w ill take off,” Tudela said. He said no concrete plans have yet been drawn pending the completion of the master plan.
The master plan w ill have to be approved by FAA officials before it is put into effect, Tudela said.
Investigation on-going to determine cause of diver's death
by Teri M. FloresAuthorities are awaiting the re
sult of an autopsy to determine the real, cause surrounding the death of a female diver whom authorities say, drowned at one of Saipan's popular diving spot.
Sketchy details surround the death of Deane Caffee, an American who is in her early 30's and believed to be connected with the Pacific Islands Club.
Caffee was pronounced dead at he Commonwealth Health Cen- er almost three hours after she was airlifted to the hospital by ¡tufus Crowe, President of Ma- iaw Helicopters.
Crowe was responsible for Alerting C ivil Defense officials who immediately dispatched a crew from the DPS Boating Safety and Rescue units to conduct rescue operations.
Authorities said a diving instructor from the Aqua Del Rey Diving Shop found Caffee floating outside the cliff line of the Grotto, a popular tourist destina-. tion situated south of the Marpi area.
According to Capt. Rey B. Camacho, Quentin Ngirairois saw Caffee's lifeless body being towed by another diver minutes after he decided to take his customers out to the open sea for a diving tour
Efforts to revive Cafee also Proved to be unsuccessful, police said.

Religious sect holds annual pilgrimage to Saipan
by Teri M. FloresIt was a day of prayer for 210
Japanese nationals who visited Saipan on an annual pilgrimage to honor the souls of those who died during the second World War.
This is the 15th year for the Ryusui Kancho Kuyou delegation to visit and their memorial services. On Wednesday, a special ceremony was officiated by Hirata Terumi whom many believe to have seen the souls of the departed and communicate with them, was held at Banzai Cliff.
She also officiated in another ceremony on board the Coral Queen yesterday while a candle ceremony was also held to honor the dead.
The ceremonies became an annual ritual for those associated with the Ryusui Kancho Kuyou and in which Terumi, a well known fortune teller, officiated. According to legend, the rituals started some fifteen years ago whenTerumi was visited by three fishermen who related to her about their unusual experience at Banzai
Cliff.Legend has it that the Japanese
fisherman was frustrated that he almost gave up his livelihood and return to his country. While he was fishing one night, he saw a candle like object floating on the water. Scared, he and his crew lit cigarettes and prayed and upon doing so, more lights appeared.
The next moming, the man and his crew came home with a good catch.
Terumi decided to visit Saipan after hearing the men’s story. She said that many people have died on the island during the war and that people have already forgotten to pray for their souls which the lights represented.

J a p a n e s e s c i e n t i s t s r e s e a r c h m e l o n f l y e r a d i c a t i o n i n CNMI
Four Japanese scientists arc currently conducting research and preliminary studies to help Natural Resources officials in the formulation and implementation of a melon-fly eradication program in the Commonwealth.
The visiting scientists will help the CNMI to establish an effective action to begin the eradication program which is expected to be conducted within the next several months.
In a courtesy call to Governor Larry I. Deleon Guerrero on Tuesday, the scientists lead by Yoshiaki Hirano updated the media on the purpose of their trip to the CNMI and how Japan, particularly the Okinawa Prefecture is willing to share the knowledge and techniques on the eradication of melon-fly in the Northern Marianas.
Hirano, through his assistant and interpreter Yoichiro Kawamoto said Governor Guerrero and the Governor of Okinawa have already held several meetings to discuss about the program and the means by which budgetary assistance can be extended to the CNMI.
The visit of the Hirano entourage was aimed at conducting preliminary studies on the Commonwealth’s topographical
and climatic features and several other factors that w ill help them determine which island will be the first to implement the program. Technicians are also expected to arrive on April to conduct a three-week field survey of the Commonwealth’s major islands.
Local officials are concerned about the 100% rate of melon-fly infestation in the CNMI. Extensive eradication programs have again to be put in place to help local farmers produce more agricultural products to meet tilfc CNM I’s growing needs.
Natural Resources officials in coordination with federal agriculture officials have already implemented two separate pi o- grams both of which were unsuccessful.
Officials w ill again try to implement this program which will involve the importation of stero-flies from Japan that will later on be disseminated in the CNMI. The total cost of the project has yet to be identified but Guerrero has already assured that Japan will also share in the cost of implementing it.
Hirano is accompanied by Kanji Sakuma, Sampei Takayama and Masaji Nakamoto, three other scientists.

Mafnas officially becomes immigration ch ie fby Teri M. Flores
Major Charles P. Reyes finally vacated his post as Acting Chief of Immigration after Attorney General Robert C. Naraja on Wednesday officially named former Tinian Senator Jose P. Mafnas as the new division head of the CNMI Immigration and Naturalization Services.
The move to replace Reyes from his position and reports that Mafnas is the most likely candidate to wear the cap of INS division head somwhat caused a stir. Reyes said in a recent interview that government lawyers also did not give any hint ¿hat he will eventually, be unseated and that no discussions were ever made
regarding the apparent change in command.
Reyes was apparently replaced as part of a “step toward the reformation of the immigration office,” Naraja said in a press release.
“There is a present urgent need to name a new outside person to the post whether Acting or not... there is a relative breakdown in command and certain distrust among the senior staff and somewhat an implicit practice of favoritism,” Naraja said.
The AG also implicitly said in the press release that Mafnas’ appointment to the post will improve a lot of internal problems within the division.

Camacho file s suit against MPLC and Niizeki
by Teri M. FloresThe Marianas Public Land
Corporation (M PLC) and a Japanese developer have been named in a lawsuit logged to force the government agency to return to a Tariapag land owner a Talofofo real property promised to him by the government as part of a land exchange deal.* David T. Camacho named the MPLC and the Niizeki International Saipan Co. Ltd. in suit aimed at recovering the Talofofo property which was determined to be a part of the Niizeki land lease. The Japanese investorplans to develop the area as a golf course project.
The suit was filed two months after representatives from the Camacho family showed up in full force in a November public hearing held in Tanapag. The meeting was organized by officials from the Coastal Resources Management Office (CRM O) who were then seeking public comments regarding Niizeki’s proposal.
The Camacho’s are seeking a court decision that will require the MPLC to convey the Talofofo land to them as promised by the
government. It also, seeks for the incarceration of the Chairman and the Board of Directors of. the MPLC for contempt of court and until the time the land is conveyed to its owners, an move which the government agency has yet to make.
p ie government promised the Talofofo land to the Camacho’s in exchange for a piece of land in the Tanapag area which was used as a public road.
Environmental activist and lawyer Ken Govendo is representing the Camacho’s in the suit and is one of the more vocal oppositionists to the project.
“The trouble with the MPLC when it comes to golf course development is they move with lightning speed while in dealing with the concerns of the local people, they move like turtles,” Govendo said.
The Niizeki project is one of three major siting developments which was approved by the Seventh CNMI Legislature.
The project is awaiting CRM permitting before it can start actual construction and development in the Talofofo area.

ified, potential candidate to determine if he is the right person for the job was, according to Naraja, the reason behind why no permanent chief has been named to head the Immigration Division.
Mafnas’ appointment is seen by Naraja as an opportunity for him “to compare ¿he incumbent with former heads of the office”· a move deemed to help the AG decide who the worthy candidate for office will be.
Mafnas is expected to work
closely with the AG and the Immigration Policy Review Commission, a newly formed group responsible for the reviewing, revising and .reforming INO policies.
The new . Chief is expected to implement several changes in the organizational and physical setup in the division and to continue on-going personnel training and the constantrev icy/ ofregulatior : to determine their applicability to the CNM I’s current situation.
Mafnas, 48, is not new to the area of law enforcement. Prior to serving two terms as a senator representing Tinian, he was an aide to the Mayor of Tinian, a classroom teacher and was the acting Principal of the Tinian Junior High School.
He also served as Chief of Police and it was while serving in such a capacity, became an awardee of the coveted Trust Territory Attorney General’s Award.

Honolulu (AP) As leaders of the Legislature’s democratic majority opened the 1992 legislative session on Wednesday with a tone of financial caution and the need to help Hawaii’s families cope, a Republican leader delivered a verbal slap at politicians she said may have forgotten who elected them and why.
Lawmakers who have moved down the block to the new state office,tower for the duration of the S64 million renovation and asbestos removal project, gathered back at the abandoned state Capitol to use the House and Senate chambers for the opening day session., Senators kept their schedule brief, foregoing the traditional lavish Waikiki-style entertainment and well attended office parties.
The House had a longer scheduled that included Miss America Carolyn Sapp leading lawmakers in singing the song, “The Year of the Family.”
The House agenda also included the swearing-in of new member, Rep. Edward K. Thompson, who was named by Gov. John W aihee last month to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Dwight Yoshimura.
Senate presidentRichard Wong said the session again opens in a somber note, recalling that last year’s opening day marked the start of the U.S. military action against Iraq and that this year, there is less money than anticipated. .
“We have a serious budget problem confronting us this year,” Wong said in his prepared remarks.
Revised projections will mean $247.2 million less in state revenues than had been anticipated
in September, Wong said.Wong said he supports
Waihee’s move to accelerate state spending on capital improvement projects to.help stimulate the economy and increase tax revenues.
“With limited resources, some hard decision are going to have to be made,” Wong said. “We may have to find it necessary to say no to many worthwhile programs.”
House speaker Daniel Kihano noted that Hawaii’s economy, while sluggish, appeared to be in firm, solid ground with local economic advisors cautiously optimistic it would fully recover this year.
“With these message in mind, let us remind ourselves that legislative directives must always be grounded in reality and not political fantasy,” Kihano- said in prepared remarks.
Kihano said Hawaii this year is celebrating the “year of the family.”
It is a celebration that recognizes the family as fundamental to sustaining the strength, stability and productivity of the community, he said.’Tt is a celebration that bids us to take a moment in our hectic lives· government can only assist the family in obtaining its goals, government cannot replace the family’s nurturing and guiding environment.”
Kihano said the House would be working on some measures this year to improve the quality of life , to ease Hawaii’s housing crisis and to help families “to be confident, self-sufficient and productive by means of an excellent support system.”
Senate Republican Minority leader Mary George cau tioned her colleagues about the growling public discontent and distrust of
public office holders and nationally.
“It is a new breeze that’s ruffled constituent feathers not just in our own backyard but across the country,” she said in prepared remarks.
“They want to hold us on shorter leash, as it were,” George said. “That is why there is a strong sentimentfor the initiative. That’s why the contagious legislation of the nineties is a proposal for term limitations.”
“Do you get the message that they think we have forgotten tvhy they sent us here?” she asked.
“If we fund commercial basketball training facilities aqd a computer scoreboard, it takes a small army to operate while severely cutting the education budget, we have forgotten who sent us here and why,” George said.
“ if we spend half a million on state office furniture and build a palatial new courthouse, and don’t fund a sorely needed shelter' for battered women, we have forgotten,” she said.
“We should look into the mirror every morning and find ourselves that we were elected, not annointed, an that we’re here to do the people’s business,” George said.
our daily sessions of the Legislature will be held in the cramped House and Senate chambers built on the 6th and 7th floors of the new office tower.
Waihee however, w ill deliver his state of the state address to a joint House session in the House Chambers of the Capitol next Tuesday.

Plane dive in Haw aii w ater
The Coast Guard searched waters between Oahu and Molokai for a plane that hasn't been spotted since taking off for Maui from Honolulu Tuesday morning.
A C-130 plane, 82-foot cutter and a helicopter searched for the Cessna piloted by construction contractor Jim Mayes, Coast guard spokesman Dennis Hubbard said.
The plane carried two of Mayes' employees and two visitors. The group was flying to Kahului for a construction job.
The aircraft was reported missing around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, after it disappeared from the airport radars. Strong winds and rain were likely factors in the disappearance, authorities said.
"The plane could be anywhere between Oahu and Maui," Petty Officer John Moss said.
Mayes was Lhe pilot of an Aero Commander aircraft that had to make an emergency landing offshore of Makena, Maui last July because of engine failure. Mayes and his five passengers escaped unharmed.
Mayes have been flying for more than six years and routinely flies inter-island because of business. His company builds communication towers.

Input sought on disposal of human relics
by Teri M. FloresHistoric Preservation officials
w ill be holding public hearings on Saipan, Tinian and Rota to get input from the community to be used for the development of guidelines and policies on the proper disposition of human, remains.
The hearings have been scheduled from January 27 to 29 and w ill be conducted by Historic Preservation Officer Michael Fleming and HPO Resource Protection Coordinator Joe Guerrero.
Formal policies have yet to be put in place and according to discussions with historic preser- vation officials, project developers are currently being asked to perform archaeological data recovery work before construction work commences. In cases where human remains are found, developers are required to carefully remove the remains under the supervision of an ar- cheologisL At a later date, the excavated bones w ill have to be reburied someplace where they have been found.
The issue on the proper disposition of human remains is not as controversial as it is in certain areas. HPO officials however would like to get the input of the public to guide them in the formulation of a written and formal policy.
“We have to respect the traditions, belief and the culture of the people and that is the reason why we w ill conduct these hearings,” Sam McPhetres, Chairman of the HPO Review Board said.
HPO officials are currently exploring several options one of which is to allow the bones to be studied and later, be reburied on the location where they were excavated while the . option of interring the bones in a central location is also carefully being reviewed.
Major commercial development projects often run into extensive areas known to be prehistoric sites. Although impractical, the option of totally stopping the project and declaring it as a gravesite instead, is also carefully being scrutinized.
Prehistoric villages used to be located near the coastline and in such areas are also found ancient burial sites. On Saipan, the" area starts from San Antonio to San Roque. Permits are secured before any excavation is done and historic preservation officials supervise diggings particularly in areas identified to be archaeological sites.

whether the financial assistance being extended to the CNMI under the current package would be the last one; and whether the Covenant grants are discretionary on the part of the US.
A September 13 report entitled “Budgetary Status of Covenant Grants to die Northern Marianas after the Covenant period expires” produced by the Congressional
they came into the Senate’s mainstream and they were made to participate in deliberations although they were not members of the committees.
Included were those like Senator Herman R. Guerrero in a Committee on the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation. Mafnas was made to co-chair with Sablan the Committee on Resources and Development.
“I half-bailed them out with additional funding, sent them on official travel status to make them feel part of the Senate, till they slowly got the feel of our sessions,” said Lios.
According to the senate president, he was pleased with the attendance records of his senate although it was admitted that it was tough for the leadership to gamer a quorum on certain session days.
“I think there were some instances when I thought that they may have had ulterior motives for some of their absences. What I ’m saying is that some people may have preferred to be absent just because they want to k ill or defend a bill,” said Inos.
Inos said that senators should have been present if they want to gain a victory on a certain bill. They had to go up there to defend or kill it.
“We did not hide to win, because such a way is a cowardly way of winning,” Inos said.
But for the absences noted in the whole term from January 1,1990 to January 12, 1992, the mostroutineexcuse was sickness, although it was believed that it was the reason that is the least true among excuses.
“Some of my senators may also be seen to have absented themselves if they feel that their presence and participation would not make any difference on the outcome of the voting process, if any,” said Inos.
“There must be no excuses for any absences, be they excused or unexcused, since the senators receive their salaries even when absent from their legislative duties,” said Inos as he seeks to provide a fine for absences.
Meanwhile, Inos canle out with the most number of bills filed during the term of the 7th Legislature, coming up with 41 bills,followed by Paul Manglona with 34 total/

Research Service bolstered the belief that the Commonwealth is entitled to $27.72million per year under Section 704 (d) of the Covenant and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990. The fact that the Congressional Budget Office scored Covenant grants as entitlements at $27.72 million through fiscal year 1996 also indicates that the
Earlier reports had it that Inos and Manglona were tied at 32 bills filed for the whole term of office.
Over at the House of Representatives, Congressman Stanley Torres came out with a cprrection that appeared in an earlier issue of
CNMI can expect funding at this level from the US Congress.
“We are becoming increasingly alarmed by the lack of movement and information surrounding the status of the 702 talks,” said Manglona in a subsequent letter to Lujan.
He indicated to the Interior secretary his disappointment as to why the US representative could

no longer negotiate and why no explanation was given.
“We have no reason to believe that Guerra is at fault,” said Miller and De Lugo. “Instead, development of your fiscal year budget proposal and discomfort with the legislative mandate that future budgets continue assistance to the CNMI at the F Y 1992 level appear to have prevented Ms. Guerra from carrying out her required assignment.”
While these can be complicating factors, they do not excuse the failure to implement an international commitment and statutory obligation to negotiate a future assistance package."For their part, Miller and De
Lugo warned Bush that a failure to live up to the requirements and intent of the law could have serious consequences. It allegedly can undermine the political relation-
1 ship between the US and the CNMI; the credibility of Guerra as a representative of the Bush Administration; the reliability of statements made by the US which led to the acceptance by the United Nations Security Council of the termination of the nation’s trusteeship responsibility for the NMJ; the validity of Bush’s 1993 budget proposal; and agreement on responsible guidelines for spending this assistance.
The two congressmen ended their statement urging Guerra to resume serious consideration of future multi-year direct federal financial assistance to the Commonwealth, that reasonable recommendations be submitted for legislative consideration, and that any budgets submitted prior to such recommendations live up to the letter and the spirit of the law.

The banquet was held on January 4 at the ballroom of the Diamond Hotel. It was scheduled several weeks earlier to cap the island-wide celebration of CNMI Education Month but was postponed due to the arrival of Typhoon Seth.
Margaret dela Cruz, PSS Education Committee Chairperson said that Seth’s winds and rain did not dampen PSS enthusiasm for the event but only postponed it for a few weeks until a schedule could be determined.
PSS Education Day has been an annual event since 1982forthe education department and is part of a month dedicated to CNMI- wide education. PSS employees from Saipan, Rota and Tinian gather on Saipan for professional development, training skills, meetings and social events to strengthen their skills and commitment to the PSS educationmission.

Chamber's Ayuyu.. .Continued from page 3has to pay for transportation, housing, and other labor import costs.
But despite the high cost of imported labor, businessmen are compelled to hire employees offshore because most locals come in without basic educational achievement, self-discipline,punctuality,and good work ethics.
To correct this problem, substantial improvements in the local educational system have been proposed if the island is to prosper absorb local youth into good jobs.
Seeing that businessmen seem to be helpless chi the need to impest labor, Ayuyu cited a pending bill in the Legislature, H.B. 7-184, which would provide the flexibility in the importation of labor by doing away with the duplication of documentation, reducing processing time, and cutting cm the time period for resolving labor disputes.
The saidbill, which is in the Senate for action, also aims to consolidate advertising for labor recruitment in a central system operated by the Department of Commerce and Labor.

Upon hearing all the sides of the issue, the tournament committee composed of Mr. Leal, Mr. Valderama and Mr. Hernandez took the voting process. I abstain myself from voting as I being the timekeeper on that particular game being protested. It is our standard practice that the President w ill abstain from voting not unless the decision of the committee was a deadlocked. Then again only those present during the meeting votes on the issue and not what you have stated in your letter.
You have also stated in your letter that we set-up the rules and we are the first violator of that rules. If you could give us evidence on what particular rules we have violated and who are the office involved in this scheme. I personally recommend that you give this information to our Basketball Commissioner Mr. Brigs Hernandez and to Mr. Jun Fedelino our FASA President so they could initiate unbias investigation on your so called violation.
My only personal interest on this association is to promote unity among Filipinos in Saipan thru the sport of basketball, to have entertainment to our kababayan during weekend. We take this position not for personal gain but for the love of this sport. We are not being paid here even a single cent and not taking into consideration our own time and the effort we give to the association. I didn’t regret to take this position but my only disappointment is that some people did not see it that way, we’re just making the record straight so that some people will really know what is happening in this association.

Ayuyu urged the lawmakingbodyto make the bill a first priority.
On anothersMarmatter,reforms in the business permit process is being mentioned, considering notable delays in the approval of government permits and licenses.
“Businesses are harmed by these delays, and the Chamber must continue to urge all CNMI agencies · issuing licenses and permits to do so with utmost speed,” he recommended.
Another serious impediment to business development in the Commonwealth is the restrictive banking legislation that now keeps out new banks and reduces the availability of investment capital and mortgage loans.
There is a bill that would allow more banking institutions to operate in Saipan, thereby increasing competition and the availability of small businessloans.hcmemortgageloans, and other vitally needed financial services tosupport business andcon-
tinued development.On a similar note there is growing
unhappiness over the delays people face in the settlement of their land exchange claims, and this was mentioned by Ayuyu as also one of the concerns thatneed to be looked into.
Due to this apparent inequity, there has been increasing public opposition to the approval of public land leases for commercial development because people can not understand why developers, including foreign investors, seem to be getting priority treatment in low-cost public land leases. It was being bruited that local peoplecannotgetlandexchangesfor private lands taken from them as far back as the Naval Administration for roads and other public uses.
“We need to resolve the long standing claims of our people for compensation for lost lands, and we needquahtycommertial development toattractrevenuetoourislarids.Overall, a new direction in public land management is needed/’suggests Ayuyu.

The group was escorted by MHS Japanese teacher Kiyoshi Nakabavashi and MHS registrar Eleanor Tenorio. Their two weeks stay is sponsored by the Miyazawa Gakuen, MHS sister school in Japan.
The purpose of the on-going program is to promote cross cultural understanding and appreciation among students from both schools. Saipan students will be learning about Japanese culture as they will be living with Japanese host families for the duration of their visit. The students will also attend school with their Japanese counterparts and on their spare time w ill be taken for sightseeing trips. They will also
spend four days of ski training at the Sugadaira Ski Resort. Miyazawa Gakuen students will also be visiting Saipan as an exchange of the trip.
The MHS participants . are Cherlyn Cabrera, Wonji Noh, Bridget Adachi, Susana Quitano, Ida Ayuyu, Zarah Pangelinan, Sun Mi-Kim, Jung Min Seo, Helen Camacho, Suwan Elizabeth Hurh, Monica Hurh, Aaron Ellis, Vaishali Dave, Joo Eun Shin, Rengy Pua, Jolene Castro and Melvin Ocampo.
MHS PTA President Pedro Nakatsukasa was able to get donations for the group's trip. He received $1,000 donation from Island Fiesta President and Manager Tony Guerrero to the group's travel insurance and airfare, 20 boxes of Royal Marianas Macad- amia Nut from Hakubotan's general manager Joe Ayuyu, 20 shell leis f»m Henry Sasaki of
