Hobbs Act, other fed laws still apply under Covenant

By DAVID T. HUGHES Proctor says Lujan motion editor for dismissal is off-base A request to drop all charges against Jesus P. Mafnas

by the Uni tcd Stales Justice Deparunent based on the fact that they don't have jurisdiction has been ensured by George Proctor. The Assistant U.S. Attorney said in his answer filed Friday that Mafnas' attorney, David Lujan of Guam, was wrong in questioning whether the U.S. had jurisdiction in the case.

Lujan said that because the Covenant applies here in the Commonwealth 18 U.S. C. § 1951 does not apply here. That's the part of the federal law known as the "Hobbs Act" which makes it a federal crime to obstruct, delay or affect commerce or the movement of any article or commodity in Commerce."

Mafnas has been indicted by the federal grand jury on charges that he allegedly extorted money from former hotel owner Adrian Johnson. That money was allegedly paid to Mafnas in exchange for securing of additional

A Garapan man who lost his house and belongings in a Friday evening fire said he is angry with the fire department for arriv­ing late and for not bringing enough water to the scene.

Norberto S. Javier, 58, said his son re­ported the Friday the 13th fire at his house, in Chinatown behind Garapan, at about

. 5:30 p.m. Javier said he arrived at his home about half an hour later to see the fire consuming the house. "When I arrived,

there was no fire truck because they were fetching water," he said "According to my son, they came from another place so that

While some callers feel the Gripeline is a good thing, others feel differently. One woman called in saying ; "The Gripe­line is useless. People are using it to fight each other behind its back (sic). "

"Why of course, the Grii>e­line is important," another woman caller said. "I am not one to complain, but I like read­ing iL"

Another woman called in saying that the winners of recent science fairs received their awards last week, "but it is very sad when the kids go there to receive their awards and their names are not mentioned. "

She said that she felt they should have "all the names and all the awards for the children that are to receive them, because it is very discouraging for the children. I hope the next time they do this, they are a little more organized."

"By the way ... I 'm glad you have this Gripeline and I hope you keep it on ... "

*************** "I believe the Gripeline should continue," one caller said.

"This island is very political and the people feel they are just ordinary, and they are scared to say something to say some­thing about the higher people. At least by having this Feed­back, it enables us to say our piece nonnally. I am also very disappointed with the legislature for trying to amend the public law which was recently passed and to amend just to benefit a few aliens. It's like this .. .Ifl have a contract with a carpenter or a farm laborer, I am in contract with THAT PERSON, but not the family .... I totally belive they should enact a law based on the benefit of the locals, not aliens."

********************* AcallersaidJuan Pan 'sdecisionnot to run again was a "very

hard decision and sacrifice because he turned his decision against his will. . . "The caller alleged that perhaps one reason Guerrero changed his mind on allowing alien workers to stay was because he would lose his alien workers ..

**************** "Have respect Mr. Younis for all the years he has been on the

island, but this MF guy Hughes is out of order," one male caller also said over the weekend.

**************** ''Thank you very much for providing Gripeline," another

male caller said, "It is a good service." The caller also wonders why the local cable company can't

install a satellite dish here to receive live programing. The caller recalled a recent Variety story which outlined one local man's dish and how he received CNN and the like from the Anned Forces Radio and Television Service.

Celebrate Tourist Week with a smile What better time is there to think about tourists and how they add to the CNMl's economy than

"Tourism Week?" Yes, readers, it's that time again when we are supposed to be nice to our visitors and tell them how pleased we are they are here. .

We SHOULD be pleased they are here because without them we would have a vastly different style of living, and a lot less jobs for the local people.

It's a plain and indisputable fact: Tourists generate cash and cash flow for the Commonwealth -that means jobs! They are probably the cleanest "industry" we have here, and should be

appreciated more. Tourists are kind of a "self-renewing resource," andthat is the best kind of industry to have because

they just stay a little while, get their tans and spend their money right here in the Commonwealth. .. then leave.

While a lot of that cash wings its way back to Japan, just the 'leavings' forthe local shops and stores is enough to generated hundreds of service industry jobs and support jobs. . . .

What if the tourists grow weary of Saipan and decide to go elsewhere? This newspaper JOlnS with the CRM in wondering if we are not making our island paradise just a little too "citified" and much too Japanese for the average tourist. As we have said in the past, these tourists want to LEAVE Japan behind for a little of the island life arld fun. What they find when they get off the plane is an 'island style' airport, but once they hit town, it's like little Tokyo with garish signs, huge buildings and stone monoliths that degrade the view and landsqape. .

Refreshing changes in that mindset are the Nikko and the Royal Taga Beach Club, especially the Taga. They are what the tourists expect to see when they come here. Other small businesses th~ come to mind as being in the island motief are the little bars in the Hyatt district and the small ethnic buildings in Garapan. . .

Tourism is a fragile industry because so many things can affect it, and we ·here in the Commonwealth can't really afford to lose them.

So, during Tourism Week this year, go out of your way to be friendly to all our guests. Don't let a language barrier rob you of making new friends.

We have found that a smile means the same in any language - just the same as a dollar. Also, please take the time to clean up our island just a little bit: Please don't litter the beach and

pick up what trash you do find.

Long reply to a short opinion about CRM Dear Mr. Editor: The following letter is in response to your personal opinion column of May 6'. 1988. I woul~ like

to make the following clarifications for the public regarding the charges leveled against our office m that column.

1. "People of Saipan spend $4,500 of their own money ... " on the pro-:zoning video, 'The Places We Build."

CRM is 100% federally-funded and the people of Saipan do not pay Federal taxes; the money for"the Places We Build" came from Federal taxpayers. However, once here that money is administered by the Department of finance and expenditures are subject to the approval of the CNMI Government Admini­stration. 'The Places We Build" was, therefore, approved for production by the CNMI Governm~t. ,

2. "ldonotthinkitis the jobofCRM to tell the Legislature what to do ... wheredoes the word 'planning come in?"

Mr. Hughes has not bothered to check into CRM's enabling legislation, drafted and ~sed by the Legislature of the CNMI, which clearly states, 1D1der "Coastal Resourc~ Managen:ieI_11:Policy: .

The robbery occured at 10:33 p.m. at the W2 highway service station and store, police spokes­man Lino Tenorio said.

He said the 22-year-old gas attendant was closing the station and carrying a cash box into the store when the robbery took

*********** A male caller said" a wonder­

ful way to celebrate Tourism Month would be to enact act a law prohibiting tour buses on certain vital thoroughfares in the Com­monwealth.

The caller said the recent law which does just that limits his ability to do his job and service. "I think the intention behind the law was poorly worded," he said. '1 , think mainly what they were going after were the school bus­ses which do hold up traffic quite a bit"

He said the bus routes should be changed to where "they don't , let one kid out every 500 feet ... . and if there is a half-a-mile line of cars behind the busses, to pull over and let people to getto where they are going. I think some con­sideration on the part of the school bus drivers would help immensely."

*************** "I disagree with the statement

made by Mr. Sablan about his not being an advocate for mari­juana," a male caller said. "Any­one who would consciously plan to introduce legislation in favor of legalizing a drug is definitely an advocate for that drug. He might think that Judge Villa­gomez quotations are tired and cliche', butas tiredandcliche' as they may be, ... they are facts. I have dealt with the problems of marijuana, both as an ex-user and a law enforcement officer. I have seen what marijuana does to people on the street level - and it's not pretty.

"If marijuana were legalized in the CNMI people could cultivate more potent varieties. . . that increases the effects ... " The caller said that tourists and law enforcement officers are killed in Hawaii because of booby traps set to protect fields of marijuana. "

This caller had a lot more to say about marijuana, and it will be co11tinued in Tuesday's issue of Gripeline.

place. "The gas attendant stated that he was securing the main door to the store when, as he turned around, he saw a guy walking toward him with a rifle in his hand," Tenorio said.

"The man demanded, 'Give me the money.' He answered, 'Why?' And then the guy just grabbed the cash from his hand and ran in the northeast direction to the backside of the gas station."

Tenorio said that officers re­ported that the robbber is ~ me­dium-sized, slim man, pso01bly a local person. officers reported he was wearing a white T-shirt, long pants and had a tom up T-shirt over his head.

Tenorio said police do not have a suspect in the case. .

He said the robber took $52 m personal money from the man­ager.

As usual: Boil the water The Division of Environmental Quality analyzed samples of drink­

ing water from the Island of Saipan this week. Water from Kagman, San Roque, Tanapag, Garapan, San Jose, Chalan Kanoa, Koblerville and the airpon contained no colifonn bacteria and also contained no chlorine residual.

Although no coliform bacteria were detected in these areas, other types of bacteria may be present Therefore residents of these ai:eas should boil their water before using it for drinking, food preparation, or freezing as a precaution against possible bac~erial contami~ti~n.

Note: The Division of Environmental Quality analyzes drinking water from island public water supplies each week. DEQ will submit a drinking water report to the news media each week. Only ~o~ areas where excessive colifonn bacteria are found or where there IS msuffi­cient chlorine at the time of sampling to ensure a sanitary water supply will be published.

fects of siltation on corals in Saipan Lagoon. Silt, and the potential damage it can cause to coral, is what CRM was originally concerned about mitigating and monitoring throughout Nikko's construction process. Silt does more than "cloud up the water," as Mr. Hughes de­scribes the situation. CRM contin­ues to monitor siltation in? the area to keep it within acceptable (caus­ing minimal damage) limits.

6. ''Why doesn'tCRMdo some­thing abouL .. (the dump)?"

Once again, Mr. Hughes never asked CRM what has been done aboutthedurnp. AsanADVISORY agency to the policy-making Ad­ministration, CRM has co-spon­sored (financially) two studies to determine acceptable sites for an alternative sanitary landfill. In 1986, CRM also sponsored a series of tests by the UOG Marine Lab of the waters bordering the Puerto Rico site and they were found to have a minimal level of pollutants; the marine life there was found to have no measurable amount of tox­ins. Nonetheless, knowing that the dump situation could only worsen, CRM co-sponsored (it's second) study of alternative sites which was required to include recommenda­tions on the top three sites on Saipan, based on various criteria That study was recently completed and is being used to draft legislation calling for the declaration of a new sanitary landfill site in the CNMI. CRM has assisted in the drafting of that fogislation and continues to press for a site declaration.

7. Mr. Hughes calls on us to "funnel money" into additional public educatien programs about out "dwindling ocean resources."

CRM operates under a Federal grant which requires us to "funnel" an increasing amount of money into "special improvements," for which public education projects are not usually considered. However, our mandate calls for public education about ocean resources, and land rP.sources as well, which we pre­sume Mr. Hughes would also be in favor of. Along those lines we have produced for the Public School System a coloring boo.le about ma­rine and terrestrial resources and

Ocean Sciences curriculum material for older students. We have created a film entitled "Resources That Matter" which addresses environmental con­cerns in the CNMI. We publish a quarterly newsletter, "Coastal Views," which focuses on issues of resource management and the role of this office.

And we have produced 'The Places We Build." If mning ? and building codes do not affect the envi­romnent, especially on these islands, we ask Mr. Hughes to explain what he believes DOES (have an impact on the environment)? Is ''The Places We Build" not a public education effort?

Does Mr. Hughes believe that public education efforts are without "slant," thereby without purpose and objective? An objective, a slant, a goal and a set of values are inherent in every educational lesson. CRM does not claini to be independent of these goals and values in its education efforts; we have a Legislative mandate to follow.

8. Finally, I would like to point out that Mr. Hughes has never "threatened this office with a lawsuit." Though he may have wanted to because of his dislike for people he assumes are "liberals," he has, apparently to his frustration, never had legitimate cause to do so. Docwnents requested by Mr. Hughes have been made available to him. If he has contacted the Attorney General office in this regard, we have certainly never heard of it.\

We can forgive Mr. Hughes his lack of familiarity with educational processes, but we do not appreciate, nor do we have any respect for, the obvious and deliberate misstatements through which he has attempted to discredit this office. In the view of the editor of this paper, it would seem that there is only one set of values which he can stomach in his "propaganda," and those are his own.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify the public role of CRM in our government

Bob Rudolph Acting Administra­tor, CRM

Editor's note: This letter came in via electronic mail, but was verified by CRM employee Veronica Denny.

It should also be noted that the "lawsuit" referred to by editor David Hughes and Mr. Rudolph revolves around the fact A CRM employee refused to allow a Variety re· porter to view public documents about a cenain project, citing the fact that Rudolph was off-island and onJy he could authroizc it

Hughes went to the CRM office and advised them that refusal to allow viewing of public records was against federal freedopm of information law and since they were a federally-funded agency in total, they must abide by the federal law. Failure to do so would have resulted in a complaint filed with the United Srates District Court for failure to comply with the law.

land for the Surf Hotel. Lujan said the alleged crime(s) don't fall within the federal jurisdiction.

However, Proctor says in his answer that provisions of the Hobbs Act were in effect since 1945, and that made them effective: '1 !he Common­wealth because that document incorporates federal laws in place which applied to the several states, and Guam.

That fact has already been decided as late as 1987 in a labor case involving the Micronesian Telecommunications Corporation and the National Laborrelations board. Also, the "Second Interim Report of the Northern Mariana Islands Commission on Federal Laws" to Congress also says" .. even if the Covenant had never been adopted, however, the Northern Mariana Islands - by virtue of Article 3 of the Trusteeship Agreement would be under the jurisdiction ... "

Proctor also said that the application of the Hobbs Act is still consistent with self-government in the CNMI.He also said that under the Covenant, that like in the mainland states, federal law is supreme when in conflict or absence of a local law. "Federal law is also supreme, of course, in the territories and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico .. "

"It is inconceivable that that the authors of the Covenant intended to protect from the full force of the law an official who would use his public office to steal from the United States' newest citizens. Corruption is a threat to the financial well-being and fabric of any society, no matter what its age," Proctor wrote in his answer.

The assistant U.S. Attorney then said that he felt the Covenant's authors didn't have in mind excluding such anti-corruption laws as the Hobbs Act when they drew up the document, and he asked federal judge Alfred Laureta to deny the request for dismissal from Lujan and Mafnas.

Laure ta is scheduled to decide the request tomorrow in his courtroom.

902 rep is named ErompQ.1 Islands joined in political union with the United States. The Covenant was fully implemented by President Reagan in November 1986 and most residents of the CNMI became U.S. citizens at that time.

As Deputy Under Secretary, Dunlop serves as a principal advisor and counselor to the Secretary on all policy and program matCers. She previously served at the Department of Justice as Senior Special Assistant to the Attorney General for Cabinet Affairs, and at The White House as Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Presidential Personnel.

Formal consultations with the CNMI under Section 902 of the Covenant were begun in September 1986. Some 25 issues, involving many agencies of the federal government, have been placed on the agenda by either the U.S. or CNMI Special Representatives.

Secretary of the Interior Don Hodel said, "I share the President's confidence in the ability of Becky Norton Dunlop to coordinate the response of the federal government in properly addressing some very important and difficult issues which have been identified as sources of problems or potential problems in our relationship with the NMI.

pants I got," he said, display­ing his tom jeans. He also said he is keeping his children out of school because they do not have enough clothes to wear.

Jack C. Camacho, fire inspec­tor at the scene, said in an inter­view that the fire deparunent ar­rived with two trucks filled with water and followed standard pro­cedure in refilling one of the trucks when it ran empty. "The fire trucks arrived about six min­utes after they reported it," Camacho said. ''The fire truck carries 1,000 gallons every day and the fire truck responded there with 1,000 in the tank. It takes less than five minutes to use that up. They should understand that.

"Because there's no water hydrant in that area, they had to go to CHC to get water," Cama­cho said. ''There's no alternative but to leave the scene and get more water.

"After about half of the fire was put out, we ran out of water and there's no other source where we can get it except at the new hospi · tal."

He said that the department used three tankfuls, or 3,000 gal­lons, in battling the blaze.

Camacho said the cause of the fire is still under investigation. "We have pinpointed the point of

origin, where the fire started," he said. "We have to finish the in­vestigation before we can say the cause of the fire. The son of the owner informed us that it started from the back side of the house and there are no other details for us to release until the investiga­tion is completed."

The fire inspector said the trucks can draw water from the ocean at Charlie Dock. In this incident, CHC was the closest water source, he said.

Javier said that Sen. Juan T. Guerrero, chairman of the local Red .Cross, is helping the 13-member family get food and clothing from the relief agency. He also said that Congressman David Sablan and his wife, Re­medios, hare helping the family with other relief services. Javier said that neighbors have been pitching in to help his family.

"We're like refugees," Javier said. "If I have a chance, I'm going to sue them because they cannot save nothing. If there's any way the law will prptect me, I will sue them.

"At least this will not happen to other people, but I suffer because of irresponsibility 9f the, fire department

CUC wants to sell 'extra' power; Can't By Wes Goodman Staff reporter With the installation of six

emergency generators scheduled to be finished on May 19, the Commonwealth Utilities Corpo­ration is looking for ways to dis­tribute the "extra" power.

CUC board member Eloy !nos said the main purpose of the emergency generators is to sup­ply power while the old genera­tors are being overhauled, but there will be some extra power available when that happens, which the CUC would like to sell.

But, the present power transmis­sion system cannot handle the extra load. "It doesn't make any sense to have additional power generation and not be able to distribute it," Inos said at the CUC Board of Director's meet­ing Friday. "I'd like to have the director (Pete Sasamoto) dis­cuss this with LMA and find out what's the best road to take."

Palauans blamed in beatings By Wes Goodman Staff reporter A 20-year-old man and two

juveniles were assaulted at Mari­anas Inn in Garapan in unrelated incidents. All three reported to police that they were beaten by a group of Palauan men.

Police spokesman Lino Tenorio said the three incidents were reported separately, one occurring at 1 a.m. Saturday morning, another at 1:46 a.m. Saturday morning, and the third at2:40am.

He said the first incident in­volved Georges Rios, 20, of Tanapag, who said he was beaten

by a group of Palauan men, but did not report the incident

"Rios stated that he was at Marianas Inn at about 1 a.m. Saturday morning when a group of Palauan men ranging from 10 to 15 (in number) beat him up .. One of the guys hit him with a two-by-fourwoodenstick, which caused him a broken lower-right jaw.

"He went home that and told his mother," the police spokes­man said. "The mother is the one that reported it that Saturday af­ternoon."

A 16-year-old youth received seriousdamagetohisrightsideof

his head and his right ear that same night. "This guy stated that he was at Marianas Inn at about 2 o'clock in the morning, outside the establishment, when a group of Palauan guys kicked him, punched him and threw rocks at him."

Another youth, a 17-year-old boy, told officers he was in the Marianas Inn parking lot just before 2 in the morning when a group of Palauan men started throwing rocks at him and beat­ing him with a wooden stick. Tenorio said he refused treatment at the CHC. "He is unable to iden­tify the guys.

Board chairman Jose Taitano said he would call a special ses­sion to authorize Sasamoto to begin upgrading the transmission system after the director studies the project, assesses how much new transmis,sion line will be needed and determines whether the poles and cross arms are strong enough to bear the addi­tional weight of the heavier line.

Other news from the CUC board meeting includes the trans­ferring of some customers sup­plied by the Agingan substation

power plant back onto Feeder 3 power line.

That plant supplies power in Koblerville, San Antonio and Chalan Piao. "When that hap­pens, the people going back onto Feeder 3 will essentially go back into a low voltage situation," Inos said. "It will also overburden Fe¢er 3." Feeder 3 supplies San Vicente, San Antonio, part of San Jose, and the wells at Isley Field.

Inos said the entire line will be affected by the additional burden, and that could create problems for the wells which are one of Saipan's main water sources. To

solve that problem, the cue wants to do some "feeder balanc­ing" to to distribute consumption evenly throughout the transmis­sion system.

The utilities agency also has had about $8 million released from bond proceeds forfourCUC projects. Sasamoto and Inos went to New York City in April to request the money from a $30 million bond fund from the U.S. Department of the Interior for CUC projects. "Interior had ex­pressed some satisfaction with the progress made in CUC so they agreed to release, and in fact did

release, the allocation for the fi­nal payment on the Rota power plant and the allocation for the payment on the Tinian power plant," Inos said. He said the money will also be used to help finance the Sinapalo power trans­mission and distribution system on Rota, and the final payment on the generators at the Agingan plant.

CUC is required to recover all of its costs, and that would mean raising rates to make back the new money being spent.

However, the law requires CUC to meter all consumers be-

fore any new rates are imposed or assessed. "We have talked to the legislature to amend the law to allow the CUC to adjust the rates, at least int eh interim, so that it could recover a good portion of its costs," Inos said. "A bill was introduced in the house, and I understand it is now in the Senate, which will essentially allow the CUC to improve rates. In the meantime, the CUC will continue in its efforts to reassess flat-rate customers who may not be cur­rently paying their fare share of their power and water consump­ton."

The CUC is also planning to extend water and power services into the Kagman and Capitol Hill homestead areas. By Wes Goodman

Staff reporter A broken generator at the Agingan substation power plant caused

power outages in San Antonio and along parts of Beach Road over the weekend.

Consumers supplied by that plant experienced on-and-off power all

Commonwealth Utulities Coproration executive director Pete Sasamoto said the operational generator was used to give altemativing service in four to six hour shifts to the two power lines. That was done so all consumers supplied by the substation could recive some power throughout the weekend.

The CUC Board of Director's also welcomed its new member, Jack Castro of Tinian at the Fri­day meeting.

The Science Fair activities started with a well prepared program which featured speeches from the invited guest speakel'!I. The guests included Governor Pedro Tenorio and Congressman Antonio Camacho. Representing the Public School System were Mr. Antonio Quitu­gua, Associate Commissioner for Ad· ministration, who spoke on behalf of Commissioner Henry Sablan, and Ms. Jackie Quitugua, Science Program Spe­cialist.

In his short remarks, Governor Tenorio summed up lhe main message of the Science Fair when he told the students and teachel'll: "Each one of you is already a winner. The great amount of time and effort that you spent in preparing your projects has far more value than winning in the canpetition." Ms. Jackie Quitugua urged students "to make science a pan of their day to day life."

Most of the people who viewed the exhibits were very impressed with the quality of the variow projects on display. Not only did the projects show the crea­tive talents of lhe students but they also forused on the wefulness of science in every day life. The projects ranged from the complexity of the cell and its parts to the practicality of how to save energy. The students, whose work were selected for the exlubits, were on hand to explain their projects to the viewers.

"Preparing for the Science Fair always involve a lot of work and is time consum· ing," stated Mrs. Angelita Buniag, chair· pel'!lon of the Science departmenL "Both teachers and students often stay after school to work on their projects. Other teachers and staff get involved, too in preparing the schoolforthe fair. With the effective leadership of our principal, Mr. Tom Pangelinan, we have always been able to aC<Xllllplish things without any problem."

The Science Fair is a way of showing parents and other people in the commu­nity what the slUdents are learning in the school. The response from the commu­nity has been very encouraging. Hun­dreds of swdents from other schools came to view the exhibits. Likewise, parents and other interested persons vis­ited the school when lhe Cllbibits were opened for public viewing. Most of those who came, especially the parents, had a very positive impression of the school

The Science Fair was coordinated by the energetic and active Science teachers, namely: Angelita Buniag, Julie Cunanan, Perpetua Wabol, Lita Guevara, Balthaz.ar Borja, Ray Sakisalz and Mila Calibo.

Garapa·n El. students learn about Saipan lagoon secrets

PSS - Seventy-six sixth and seventh graders and six teachers from Garapan Elementary had a 45-minute under-water field trip last Wednesday (April 20) in a Dosa Subsea submarine.

"For most, if not all, of these students and teachers, it was their first time to ride in a submarine," said seventh grade teacher Joe Limes, who organized the field trip. "It was the first time that our students from Garapan went on a submarine field trip."

Ben Teregeyo of the PSS Bus Office agreed, saying that it was the first Garapan Elementary' s submarine ride. He added, however, that some other Saipan public schools including Tanapag and Koblerville Elementary Schools had submarine field trips earlier this year.

Dosa Subseastarted its submarine business on Dec. 16, last year, with a 45-minute ride in the lagoon between Saipan and Managaha Island

Joe Limes said the submarine made two trips for the Garapan Elementary students, ta1cing 45 students on the first ride and 35 students on the second trip.

The students, Limes said, saw a World War II shipwreck, colorful corals, and different fishes in­cluding a stingray. ''They really enjoyed it," he said.

"We're planning to have another submarine field trip next year. It will be related to our science."

"Exciting. Very educational. Fantastic. We learned a lot. Great." were some of the responses uttered by the students when asked how they felt about the trip.

The students were fortunate to pay only $20 for the trip, which norm.ally costs a tourist $66 and a local resident $35, Limes saidz adding that the $20 covered both the trip and life insurance.

He said that the trip went very well and that the "students really enjoyed it." The submarine went down as deep as 12 to 16 feet in the water he added.

PSS employee Grace Ubedei, whose seventh grade son went on the trip, spoke for many, if not all, of the students' parents when she observed! "I wanted my son to go on this trip because he may not ride submarine again in his life."

The seventh grade teachers who went with the students in the submarine, in addition to Limes, were Leila Baja and Alice Castro. The sixth grade teachers were Tapita Tebuteb, Romeo Pagapular, and Arsenia Gallardo.

CHC docs I

warning .DEngueai Belau now

The current outbreak of Dengue Fever in the Re­public of Belau has prompted physicians at the Commonwealth Health Center to urge caution for persons planning to visit there. CHC was notified last week that the Puerto Rico-based Dengue Labo­ratories of the Center for Disease Control had identi­fied the virus which is be­lieved responsible for more than l,OOOcasessinceJanu­ary, including two that were fatal.

While Dengue Fever is rarely fatal and generally clears up in about a week, its severe symptoms, in­cluding intense headaches, high fever, prostration, muscle pain and body rashes have inspired its popular nickname of "Breakbone Fever." Den­gue is transmitted to the human blood stream by mosquito bites and then has an incubation period of five to eight days, according to Dr. Terry Jackson, Chair­man of the CH C's Infection Control Committee. While the worst of the disease should be over in a week, recovery may take a long time with patients suffering from weakness and depres­sion, Dr. Jackson added.

There is no vaccine to protect against Dengue and the only approach doctors and other medical person­nel can take is to relieve the fever, dehydration and other symptoms.

Originally doctors at Belau's MacDonald Me­morial Hospital thought they were dealing with a severe flue epidemic. Hun­dreds of cases kept beds filled and there were short­ages of needed supplies. The CHC has been lending supplies to MacDonald in order to get the hospital through the emergency.

In the case of travelers to Belau, that would probably involve personal use of in­sect repellent and avoiding areas infested with mosqui­toes.

In a report to CHC Chief of Staff Dr. Robert Haver­stock, Dr. Jackson said: "Although it is theoreti­cally possible that a travel­ler from Belau infected with the virus could be bit­ten by a mosquito who could then transmit the dis­ease, this would be highly unlikely. Therefore, no re­striction to travellers. or workers coming from Be­lau is recommended."

Marianas High School

Good morning, judges, fellow contestants and distinguished membcn of the audlcn= I am here to speak on something that affects all ofus as citizens: gambling. Rcccntly, the issue oflegal, organized gambling specifically that with the video poker ma­chines, has cntcred into the public eye. The citizcns of the CNMI now face an important decision; do the possible benefits of i:etainingpokermachines in the Commonwealth outweigh the dis· advantages ofkccpingthemh=7 Most of us are familiar with the argumenlS and heated debates this issue has sparlcc:d among the communities of tho CNMI. Now Guam is facing a similar crisis. What the government decides now will affect us for many years to come. Is gambling worlh the trouble of keeping it here? Would allowing the machines to continue operating increase tourism, as acme hotel opcrttora have claimed? Will it increase revenue for the govcmmcnt7 Is legal gambling as harmless as its suppoitcts claim? The ruppollers claim, the CNMI already has legal gun· bling in the fonn of bingo, cockfighting, and batu? Why would allowing poker machines be ruch a radical step? Some Juve evcn proposed eventual organized casinos, similar to those existing in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. "lhese ideas may sound good in thcoratoy and on paper. But what is not yet fully %UJizcd are the consequent of allowing the poker machines into the Qmmon­wealth. Bingo, batu, and cockfighting are wcll-csublished, le­gally controlled and forthemost pan, hannlcss forms of gambling, but are we ready for the introduction of poker machines into our environment? I fccl that !ht: problems which arise from and arc related to organi2e<I gambling are too great for the resources of the Commonwealth.

Now, gunblingin not new to the world orthe Commoowealth gamblliig existed in ancient Egypt, the Orient, ind in Native American .cultures. Gunbling was also highly popular in the Ranan Empire and its populuity has endured throughout history. The reason for this is most people have a natural "risk-taking" streak. They want to sec if they can beat the odds and come out ahead. This can take form in playing the stock milk ct or other in· vestments. One gambles that the results will be better than the outlay. A· fonner uying a new method of breeding crops is gambling. In eveiything man docs, an element of chance is present. But this gambling is natural. Only when uMatural stimuli, such as poker machines, are introduced does this urge can become hannful and destrUctive. A machine represents an ultimatefonn of odds-beating: it is cold, imputial and logical. To many it ieprc­s01ts the greatest test of luck. They know, perhapo subcon­sciously, that the machine is stacked-that is, the odds arc with iL yet they still gamble that their luck is able to beatiL Consistently, thoogh, the odds are with the machine. Any casino operator or mathematician can verify this. Occasionally, a person will win something thus urging him on in the hope of winning more. But how many people know when to stop while they're ahead? E.C. Devereux, in his article "Gambling in Psychological and Socio­logical perspective," says that "gamble!S consistently overesti­mate their own skill and luck." !fthis is true, th01 it would become difficult for some to know when to stop gambling. This is when the risk of compulsive gambling appcus.

A compulsive gambler is a person who cannot or docs not set a limit on his risks. He~ also clunctcrized by an imtional hope of winning. Compulsive gambling has· been classified as 1 mental disonler by the American Psychological Association. This places it an illness among drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. At the time of this statement, 1981, it was estimated that there were 8 million compulsive gamblers in the United States. While this is a small pcr=t of the populatioo, it is still a large nwnberof people with a designated mental disorder, one that could have been pre­vented. The report of the Prcsidcnt's Commission on Gambling says ''the Commission's r<search has !hown that the availability oflegal gambling creates new gamb!CIS."From this, itfoUows that if poker machines ire here, more and more people will play them. Then tcmpution for them to uy their luck will be great, as wcll their curiosity. A percentage of'these people will have difficulty knowing when to stop playing of these people wiU have difficulty knowing when to stop playing - the potential compulsive gam· biers. If they keep playing, they will npidly become addicted to the machines • obsessed with the idea of playing a11:ain and •£•in

in the hopes of winning. I, for one, do not want to see this happen. Many people have a hanl enough time making ends meet •• it is. If they begin using all their extra money for gambling, what will happen to them? A state and its govcmmcnt arc supposed to protect the welf an: of the public. How can it do this when it endorses an activity that undctmines that welfare?

In 1979, the new J"""'y Department of Health conducted a study when proposals were being made to increase gambling in that state. The Depaitment found that I) individuals who are probable compulsive gamblers arefivetimes as likely to have been mmied three or more times than the population in general; 2) The average compul!ive gambler affcctsfromtotcnothcrpeople;3)Th=areasmanywomencompulsive gamblers u there ate men; and 4) Over 90% of compulsive gamblers started gambling before age twenty-one. I fmd this last statistic to be the most startling. Not ooly docs gambling affect adults, but it also affects minors, who arc les11-lcnowledgeable of and less capable of rupporting their dcsuuctivc habiL At study cooductcd at Atlantic City High School had these findings: 72% of the students had gunbled, 69% had started gambling before age sixteen, 6% started between the ages of ten and twelve, and 9% stalled before age nine. In addition, 6% shoplifted to support their habit, and 3% dealt in narcotics to get their gambling money. What happens to our high school and college swdents if we allow increased gambling here? According to the Department of Labor and Commerce Census, a third of our population is between tCJ and twenty­four. This is a large pcn:entage of the population, and the one most lilccly to be affected by gambling. The people in this age group, being younger, are less knowledgeable, less e1perienccd. They may be unaware of the negative side effects of gambling and th=fore sec nodting wrong with iL If we conducted a survey in, say, five ycus aftcrpokermachineshave been opcnting, what would our results show. Would 72% of MHS students be playing poker machines? How many would be engaged in stealing or othc:r illegal acts to get ambling money? Speaking as a high schoolstudent,lcanaayth1twebavcbettcrthingstodowithourtimeand money than to waste them on poker machines and gambling. I don't want to sec my friends or anyone else becoming addicted to the machines, which could easily hal'('Cl1. I pose a question to the ruppollcis of poker machines: do you want the youth of the CNMI to grow up as compulsive gamblers, no beucr than alcoholics or drog addicts?

People have always been con=ed with gambling• connection to crime. Compulsive gamblers, like any addict, arecmnpletely enthralled; they will do anything to get their fix. This could easily mean a resort to crimeto get money for additional playing. In 1974, Saipan experimented with gambling by importing slot machines. These were placed 11 six locations around the island between June and December. These locations were then burglarized one or more times and coins were taken from the machines. During the same time period, Marianas Island District Police noted a 132% increase in burglaries, an 84% increase in grand la=y, and a 400% inCie11se in forgery, robbery, auanptc:d burglary, attempted grand larceny and petit luccny. These police anributed thcscincrcascs to the introduction of slot machines, because people resorted to crime to nisc money either to pay their regular, neglected bills, or to finance further playing. Also during this time, the Saipan banks no~ an incrusc in delinquency rates on loans. One bank 'a !OMCS ran up to $1,000 per person, and the bank investigators no~ that the dclinqu01t customers had been observed playing the slots. If poker machines continue open.t­ing, I believe we will sec a continuing increase in the crime l'ilte and delinquency rates. In every instance when organized gunbling has been allowed, thc:c has been a noted increase in crime. Studies conducted by the U.S. Dcpanment of Justice have found that 80% of compulsive gamblCIS havccornrniuc:d felony crimes while addicted. In addition,40% of whitc-aillar crime is commiuc:d by compulsive gamblers and 20% of spouse abuse cases involve a compulsive gambler. In Dr. l..aay Braidfoot's look Gambling A Deadly Game, he says that the "addict has a high probability of stealing. embc:zzling funds from employers and engaging in many other fonns of destructive and anti-social behavior." · · This information poses anotherquestion: is our I.aw-enforcement slaff ready to enforce legislature and monitor the gambling? Unless a fcdcnl crime is committed, no federal law enforcement agency has jurisdiction here. If poker machines continue operations, who would monitor and control them? Minors are not supposed to use po Ir.er machines, but I wa! able to play one. No one bothered me or asked for an I.D. Clicck. If the law is not being enforced oo such an obvious level, how c.tn it be enf orce.d elsewhere? For CJ<arnple, it is possible to um per with gambling machines so as to reduce 1he chances of winning or reset the game coun•.cr. Thll<, monies that should be passed to the govcmmcnt stay in the hands of the machine operators. Saipan docs not have the necessary capabilities to monitor the machines against such tampering at this time.

Therehasalao been a longassociatioo between criini­nal clements and gunhling opcntions in the world. Recently, in Guam, threcknown member> of the Yakuza, the Japanese crime syndicate, were arrested.

They can point at Las Vegu and Atlantic City and sltow that gambling there is under control However, as the saying goes, "Rome wasn't built in a day," and neither wu gambling oontrol The cu=t state of both Las Vegas and Atlantic City is the result cf ycara oftrial­arul-crror experience. When the first casino opcratom stalled, they too felt they could control gunbling. But new problems kept cropping up which requittd new legislation and a cmtinucd modification of =t law. Also, the Commonwealth is not the United Sta~. Herc, we deal with a totally diffemit cultural background and psychology. We cannot expect what wmks in the United St.ates to worlc the same in the CNMI. While in many cases Saipan can follow the United Sutes' cumple, this is not one of them.

In conclusion, I would like to restate that despite continued references to gambling in gcncnl. I un not advocating the outlining of all gambling in the CNMI. The gunbling that is present now is for the most part harmless, and has existed for years harmoniously with our society. Batu, bingo, and cockfighting arc well· established, and present no danger in their current minor fonn, which ia government-monitored and controlled. What I am opposed to is the continued allowance of gambling 1111chines, most importantly that of poker machines. Saipan is not yet prepucd, if it ever will be, for this. The previous experiment with gambling failed, causing m increase in crime and negative economic effCCIS. I do not want this to happen to our island. I have mempted to !how through evidencc-therisk of compul­sivegunbling, crime increase, economic depression, and eventual involvement by organized crime that the nega­tive cffec:ts of allowing poker machines on our island for ovcnhadow the possible good effects. I reiterate: Saipan is not ready for the negative impact these machines will bring. I support the movement which calls for the re­movll and outlawing of poker machines from the CNMI. In light of the evidence I have presented, I also wge you to ruppon iL Thank you.

U.N.: Is it more demanding to be a war hero's son than a regular person's son? YOSH: I DON'T REALLY TltINK ABOUT IT THAT MUCH. I JUST THINK I'M SOMEBODY'S SON. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK HIGHLY OF MY DAD AND I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT I LIVE UP TO HIM. U.N.: What would you change on the island if you could? YOSH: I WISH THAT THE IS­LAND WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BETTER, LIKE ALL THE TRASH - AND THAT NON-LOCALS WOULD BE ACCEPTED BETTER. U.N.: Would you go to war to save our American precepts just as your father did? YOSH: YES, WHAT HE DID SHOWED ALOT OF GUTS. U.N.: What do you like most about yourself? YOSH: THAT I'M ME!!! I LIKE WHAT I HAVE, MY PAR­ENTS. THAT'S IT - IT'S JUST UNIQUE. JUST THE FACT THAT NO ONE IS LIKE ME. THAT MAKES ME FEEL PROUD. U.N.: Do you and your dad spend special time together? YOSH: YES, WE GO OUT ON THE WEEKENDS AND GO FLYING. U.N.: What do you like to do in your.spare time?

...... , ... --, ... ,., _____ , ···~·-.-· .. ·~ .. ··~'-·

YOSH: I LIKE TO PLAY A LOT OF SPORTS- ANYTHING. I'M REAL SERIOUS ABOUT SPORTS. I ENJOY BASKET­BALL. I ENJOY FL YING. OTHERWISE I JUST GO AROUND WITH MY FRIENDS. U.N.: Are you proud of your father's accomplishments? YOSH: YES, FOR WHAT HE DID BY HIMSELF. IT'S VERY HARD TO IMAGINE SOME­ONE DOING IT. HE WASN'T FORCED TO DO IT; HE DID IT ON HIS OWN. HIS COM­MANDING OFFICERS TOLD

HIM HE THAT HE WAS EI­THER CRAZY OR BRA VE. SAVING THE JAPANESE WAS IMPORTANT TO MY DAD. HE CAPTURED ALMOST TWO THOUSAND JAPANESE BY HIMSELF. HE WOULD GO OUT AND TALK TO THEM AND CONVINCE THEM TO SURRENDER. THE JAPA­NESE WERE MISINFORMED. THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE TORTURED AND MY DAD CONVINCED THEM THAT IT WASN'T TRUE. HE CAUGHT A DOZEN, TOOK HALF AND TOLD THAT HALF TO GO BRING MORE AND AT THE END OF THE DAY HE HAD 800. U.N.: Do you and your dad share similar qualities?

Visiting the home of Yoshio Gabaldon was a fascinating experience. Know­ing Yosh's father's fame as a war hero and seeing his medals and war time memora­bilia was like moving back in time to World War II. This is the nostalgic setting in which we met the unique Gabaldon family. Yosh, who is 18, has two older brothers, one older sister, and a younger sister. Their lifestyle represents an attractive blend of American, Spanish, and Japanese cultures. Our interview group, in particular liked this aspect of the Gabaldon family - we are so culturally diverse we call ourselves the United Nation's Gang (UN). This is Yosh's story:

YOSH: NOT IN HEIGHT!!! YES, WE ARE BOTH STUB­BORN. U.N.: What are your plans for the future? YOSH: I PLAN TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION, GO TO COLLEGE, POSSIBLY ENGI­NEERING. I THOUGHT ABOUT GOING INTO THE MARINES BUT MY DAD RE­ALLY DIDN'T RECOMMEND IT. HE SAID THAT SINCE I DID SO GOOD IN SCHOOL I MIGHT AS WELL CONTINUE. HE REALLY BELIEVES IN EDUCATION. I'M TRYING TO GET MY PILOT'S LICENSE -THAT'S WHY I'M STA YING AROUND.

After interviewing Yosh, we had the pleasure of visiting with Mr. Guy Gabaldon, while Mrs. Gabaldon served us lemonade. When we asked Mr. Gabaldon what gave him his surge of bravery, he said, "There were many factors, I was young and foolish and very fortunate."

However, the United States department of the interior had added so many conditions to the promised assistance that the pay­ments were Press return for more; type no to stop: several years behind schedule. As many as a thousand inhabitants of the Northern Marianas were currently without pass­ports, and consequently without nationality, due to an interpretation by the United States department of immigra­tion that persons with foreign-born parents did not qualify for passports. Thus, the administering authority violated the charter which stated that every person had the right to nationality.

As a result of numerous and continuing violations of the Covenant, as well as the expressed dissatisfaction of his constituents, he said he had introduced legislation for a referendum to tenninate the Covenant, to be held in November. Until the administering authority complied with the letter and spirit of the trusteeship agreement and the Covenant, the trusteeship should not be terminated.

In questioning to the petitioners from the NMI, -­PatrickPascal (France) saidhe waspleased thatatleastone non-governmental organization outside the trust territory had been able to freely visit Palau, thanks to the admini­stering authority.

Mr. Berezovsky (soviet union) said the petitioners from the northern Mariana islands had indicated that the ad­ministering authority had refused to hold consultations for over a year with representatives of the islands on matters relating to their political future.

He asked the petitioners what arguments the administer­ing authority had used with respect to the tennination of the consultations and how it had explained its reluctance to

ing categories: economic, legal and government, indus­trial, physical, human and social, infrastructure, natural resources and other needs. The 1988 conference will further discuss these priority issues and come up with recommendations to be submitted to the executive and legislative branches of government for inclusion in the government's capital improvement and economic devel­opment programs.

Conference participants will be divided into eight groaps to discuss the following topics:

-The economic resources group will deliberate on re­gional markets (Guam, Micronesia and Hawaii), new business opportunities, foreign investment, local and for­eign investor partnership and import substitution;

-The human and social resources group will discuss workforce identification (supply and demand), respon­siveness of education to development needs, training, public safety and growth stresses;

-The legal and government resources group will discuss the Covenant, zoning and building codes, privati­zation of public services, overall economic development process and the Northern Marianas College;

-The infrastructure group will discuss transportation, traffic patterns, pedestrians, water, power and private de­velopment;

-Topics for the industrial resources group include tourism growth management, local business involvement and local marketing, agriculture and agriculture market­ing;

-Topics for the natural resources group are land ac­quisition by eminent domain, the 200-mile exclusive economic zone, marine resources and scenic and conser­vation areas;

-The physical resources group will discuss the Beach Rood scenic highway concept, various CNMI structures and grounds, the Puerto Rico dump, Lower Base industrial park and the As Lito and Kagman agricultural stations; and

-The needed resources group will discuss visitor at­tracti~ns, skills development center, housing, marina and state library.

the administering authority. The administering authority had been asked to appoint another special representative, so that the momentum of the bilateral talks could be maintained. Unfortunately, after a series of official corre­spondence, the United States had never provided a defini­tive response.

No legitimate excuse had been given to explain the delay in the appointment of a new special representative.

J. Stephen Smith (United Kingdom) asked whether the reason to bring the matter of the delay in the appointment of the special representative to the trusteeship council was primarily because the petitioners had been unable to enter into direct dialogue with the United States government

Mr. Tenorio said the reason for bringing the matter before the council, although he realized that it did not directly concern the council, was to demonstrate that even a small issue among the many issues confronting the JX>litical relationship between the northern marianas and the United States had not been addressed by the admini­stering authority.

Mr. Smith (UK) said that while some of the petitioners implied that there was a malicious intent on the part of the administering authority in denying self-government to the Northern Marianas, one petitioner had spoken of it as "an accident of the administering authority's bureaucracy". He asked for clarification.

Mr. Atalig said that he believed that the ideals of self­government for the Northern Marianas was shared by the people of the administering authority. However, that ideal was not filtered down to the bureaucracy that dealt with the northern Mariana islands on a day-to-day basis.

The NMI delegation was to return to the trusteeship council for one more session in order to field questions pertaining to their testimonies on Friday.

.Mazzella said that one reason he missed the Friday deadlines for the NMI newspapers was that there were "no fax machines in the UN, believe it ornot

He also promised that.photos would be here in the NMI by this past week~nd, but DID.. has NOT delivered any­thing to the Variety as of our noon deadline.
