Serving CNMI for 18 Years

Governor makes D.C. budget pleaImmediate funding for

sewer, water soughtBy Jeff AckermanIn a budget presentation

Tuesday before a Congressional subcommittee in Washington, D.C., Gov. Larry I. Guererro pushed for more funds to im­prove the sewer system and to complete on-going water proj­ects, warning that without more money, CNMI residents will continue to live with serious health threats.

The governor was part of a contingent of CNMI delegates appearing before the Subcom­mittee on Insular and Interna­tional Affairs, which is review­ing the president's proposed fis­cal year 1991 budget as it per­tains to the Commonwealth.

Also attending the budget hearings were House Speaker Pedro R. Guerrero, Paul A. Manglona, chairman of the Sen­ate Fiscal Affairs Committee,· CNMI's elected representative to the U.S., Juan N. Babauta, Eloy S. Inos, director of finance, and David M. Sablan, special assistant for planning and budg­

eting.The president’s fiscal year

1991 budget request of $28.8 million for federal assistance to the CNMI includes $11 million for government operations and $17.8 million for capital devel­opment

The governor told the com­mittee that the CNMI has been decreasing its reliance on fed­eral funds for general govern­ment operations during the past four years, but that the cost for providing better health care, public safety and other essential services has been increasing.

He also said one of the CNMI's majoraccomplishments has been the development of a seven-year capital development plan which runs through 1992.

Based on that plan, accord­ing to the governor, approxi­mately $86 million has been made available for immediate improvement and construction of power, water, sewer, roads, drains, school facilities, ports,

‘Uncle Sam’ seeks answers on SaipanBy Jeff AckermanUncle Sam wants to

know how many pigs you have, how much money you make and how many min­utes it takes you to get to work.

If you don’t know, you’d better find out.

The U.S. government is launching its 1990 Census and about 70 Held represen­tatives will soon be combing the CNMI looking for an­swers to many, many ques-

tions."This is one of the largest

efforts that the government has undertaken/5 said Bill Stewart, an economist and co-director of the 1990 CNMI Census. "Our field representatives here will be asking about two million ques­tions altogether.''

The answers to the‘ques­tions will determine how much federal assistance the CNMI re­ceives.

"Federal funds forroads and otherscrvices will be predicated

on the^ results of our efforts," said S lewart, speaking before the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club of Saipan.

* Stewart said about 16,000 pounds of federal census forms and manuals are being flown to Saipan.

Getting the answers'in an area where there is such a cul­tural melting pot will be diffi­cult.

There are at least 3 0 differ­ent languages spoken in the CNMI, including Chamorro,

Carolinian, English, Japa­nese, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Thai.Trukcscand Palauan.

Stewart said he still needs many census-takers who speak at least a couple of those languages and who want to earn anywhere from $6.50 to $7.50 per hour.

"We would like to get about 100 applicants," said Stewart. "So far we only have about 36. We

Speaker calls sewer ‘ time bomb’

By Dan PhillipsHouse Speaker Pedro R.

Guerrero stressed the urgent need for funding to improve Saipan's sewer system in a speech Tues­day before the U.S. House Sub­committee on Insular and Inter­national Affairs.

Guerrero stressed the need to upgrade the sewer system as much as possible, and said thatit will cost $41 million to bring the system to wh6re it should be.

Gov..Larry I. Guerrero also talked about the $41 million needed, and asked the commit­tee to try to get the CNMI an immediate appropriation of $15.9 million.

"We in the Commonwealth are sittingona time bomb which threatens the health, even per­haps the lives, of our people and those who visit our beautiful Commonwealth every year," Speaker Guerrero said.

M afnas loses another roundBy Dan PhillipsThe Supreme Court yester­

day denied a request by Sen. Jose P. Mafnas to have the S upe- riorCourt's judgment in his case against Sen. Pres. Joseph S . Inos suspended pending the outcome of the appeal.

The decision followed a hearing Tucsday before the thrce- justice panel of Chief Justice Jose S. Dela Cruz and Associate Jus­tices Jesus C. Borja and Ramon G. Villagomez.

In its decision to deny Mafnas' motion for stay pending

theappeal of theSupcriorCourt's judgment, the justices ruled that the harm done by granting a stay outweighs the harm done if a stay is denied.

The justices agreed with the argument of Rex Kosack, at­torney for Inos, that while Mafnas will suffer some injury, in that he cannot act as Senate president, there would be a greater injury if the Senate were unable to conduct business until the appeal is decided.

The hearing to hear argu­ments on the appeal is scheduled

for March 2.Mafnas filed the suit in

Superior Court when it became apparent that the split in the Senate that took place on Inau- guraton Day would not be re­solved.

Mafnas and Sens. Herman R. Guerrero and Juan S. Torres had held their own session in the Senate chamber, while Inos and the other five senators held their own session in the office of Sen. Paul A. Manglona. The split came after Inos was physically ejected from the stage while

trying to preside over the inau­gural session.

"Mafnas is not being pre­vented from representing his constituents and being actively involved in the Senate, he is only complaining he is not the boss," Kosack said in the hear­ing.

"The business o f the Sen­ate, ranging from the enactment of legislation to the confirma­tion of gubernatorial appoint­ees, would have to wait," the justices said in their decision.

Foundation for future begins with a home

There are many who would like to make Saipan home. Their only problem is that there are virtually no homes available in Saipan.

While we continue to add to the number of hotel rooms to ensure that our visitors are comfortable, very little is being done to provide housing for those wanting to make a home in Saipan.

And, as more and more land is leased away to foreign investors and hotel moguls, Saipan may soon be circled with hotels and the available housing will consist only of barracks in the jungle for our alien workforce and apartments on Capitol Hill for the imported government workers.

There are no laws here mandating that our government ensure the availability of low-income housing and the few apartments being built carry expensive price tags.

Even the Mariana Islands Housing Authority, which administers low-income housing loans and provides some assistance in the form of rental subsidies, admits that "even a broken down shack in the jungle is hard to find."

The housing situation is another glaring example that Saipan is being driven by an out-of-control capitalistic machine and there seems to be no pilot.

Many of our leaders are part of the machine, taking advantage of a business climate that is ripe for the picking. Soon they will have picked the tree clean.

There are some who are shouting out distress signals. JM Guerrero, who recently stepped down as head of the Marianas Visitors Bureau, warned that it is time to step back and take a look at where we are going. He wondered if we weren't spending too much time accommodating the tourists and too little time accommodating the people of Saipan.

Liz Diaz Rechebei, commissioner of the Public School System, said our schools need help if our children are to become a cbntributing adults. She asked the business community to help the schools provide students with the skills they will need to do that.

In a speech before local contractors, Lt. Gov. Ben T. Manglona said about 2,402 new hotel rooms are projected for Saipan.

He said Saipan will "only stay competitive in international tourism if we build safe and attractive buildings and if we develop reliable and adequate infrastructure."

What he didn't say, is that Saipan will only stay attractive if we build a foundation for the future. That foundation begins in a place called a home.

•^Lettere To The Editor иDear Editor

This letter is written to recognize those individuals, and the Saipan C h am b er of Com m erce, whom w ith o u t their support and assistance during the early days of MTC's takeover of the government owned S aipan T elephone System , it is doubtful the company would exist today.

R eferenced s u p p le m e n t contains several in c o r re c t statem ents made by S a le s Manager Roland P. Franquez. It is because similar statements had been made to the U.S. Department of Commerce. I respond:

1. MTC is in its 15th year (not 9th) as the local telephone company. The lease/franchise contract I signed with the NMI governm ent on the 24 th October, 1975, expires in 1995.

2. MTC arrived in Saipan in 1974 (not 1981). Myself being the founder by encourag ing Kentron Hawaii and three local individuals to incorporate.

3. Prior to MTC, the Saipan Telephone System was owned by the Department of Interior, and operated by NMI Public Works until 1975 (not 1978). Because the facilities were U.S. Federal property, they we.re sold to the NMI governm ent for $1.00. This cleared the way for the government to put out a competitive bid. At that time the switch at Susupe was only 7 years old. The switch at Capitol Hill, was 5 years old. The main problem for noisy circuits was due to the outside plant.

4. For your in fo rm a tio n . Under an i n t e r c o n n e c t agreement. MTC teamed up with Hawaiian Telephone for long-distance phone service and Western Union for telex and

telegram services. Leasing voice circuits from the T.T. tropo-scatter S a ip an -G u am system, MTC in April 1976 became the first recognized International Carrier for the NMI. In 1979, MTC entered into an ag reem en t w ith COMSAT for an earth station on Saipan.

5. D e s p i te M T C 's unquestionable potential and negotiations underway on an REA loan. Through a change in company policy, Kentron who owned 80 percent of MTC, sold the company in 1981 to Hawaiian Telephone. Whom in my opinion have, and doing, a great job.

Sincerely,

E. George Richards (Father of MTC)

Dear EditorThe address by Ms. L iz

Rechebei, our new CNMI Commissioner o f Education, before the Saipan Chamber of Commerce last Monday is very encouraging and heralds a new direction for education in the Northern Marianas.

The commissioner called for a partnership with the business com m unity to p lan a n d implement new educational goals o f the C om m onw ealth and said she w e lco m es innovative ideas that will lead to improvement in education in the CNMI.

Ms. Rechebei specifically m entioned the concept o f choice in education. In 1981 when I was a member o f the CNMI Legislature, I introduced legislation m andating the implementation o f a voucher system in our schools. The voucher system is similar to

the concept of food stamps which allows the recipients to shop at the store of their choice. U nder my 1 9 8 1 proposal, the Department o f Education would· give the parents vouchers worth certain amount of money to shop for the education of their child at the school o f their choice. My proposal, which at that time was still very new even in the States, was ridiculed by many local people. Today, however, the choice in education concept dominates the e d u c a tio n a l debate not only in the US but also in many other countries and, in the US, it is supported by conservative and liberal politicians alike. The US Congress is now considering several choice in education proposals, including one by President Bush.

I urge the CNMI Board of Education and the Legislature to se rio u sly c o n s i d e r implementing the choice in education concept in local funding for education. T h e ob jective o f any choice program, whether by voucher or other means, is to promote com petition fo r students among public and private schools in the Commonwealth. Competition in education, as it does in a ll o ther human activities, resulting improved quality and excellence and that is what is desperately needed in the CNMI educational system.

Thanks, Liz, for not being afraid to publicly call for new ideas and innovations in our educational system. It's about time!

Sincerely,

/s/Felicidad T. Ogumoro Executive Vice President Pacific Information Bank

’alauans again have rejected a iew political status with the Jnited States which would have «-ought the tiny western Pacific s land chain more self- ¡ovemment and nearly one-half- lillion dollars in economic aid.

While itappcarcd a majority if Palauans would support a Jompactof Free Association and ubsidiary agreements with the Jnited States, there was nodoubt hat a constitutionally required (5 percent approval would fail.

With 23 percentof the votes :ountcd, 1,273, or 50.9 percent mted to approve the Compact, fhere were 1,221, or 48.8

percent, who voted to disapprove the Compact.

Vice President Kuniwo Nakam ura conceded Wednesday that the high percentage approval was beyond reach.

As a result, Palau will continue as the world's last U.N. tru steesh ip under U.S. administrative authority.

The plebiscite was the seven Lh in seven years on the pact and its subsidiary agreements, already U.S. law.

U.S. President George Bush last December said "it is time to change a relationship that is no longer appropriate for either Palau or the United States."

It was not clear immediately whatPalau's government will do next.

Nakamura said, "We could hold a constitutional amend­ment referendum to lower the 75 percent requirements to a simple majority without calling a constitutional convention to address that and other issues."

Governor nominates new negotiating team

By Dan PhillipsGov. Larry I. Guerrero an­

nounced his appointments to the Covenant section 902 ne­gotiating team Friday, less than a day before he departed for Washington, D.C.

The seven nominated as spe­cial representatives to the gov­ernor are L l G o v . Benjamin T. Manglona, Washington Rep. Juan N. Babauta, House Speaker Pedro R. Guerrero, business­woman Maria T. Pangelinan, businessman and former House Speaker Jose Lifoifoi and for­mer Washington Rep. Edward DLG. Pangelinan, now a mem­ber o f the staff of U.S. Congress­man Ben Blaz of Guam.

Guerrero wrote a letter to U.S. President George Bush Friday, notifying the president of the appointments and asking for a "timely appointment by the U.S. President."

A timely appointment by Bush, Guerrero said in his letter,

"will renew the faith of our people that the United States will abide by its commitments in the Covenant.”

The president has yet to an­nounce his special representa­tive to the 902 negotiations, but Assistant Interior Secretary Stella Guerra has indicated that a person has been selected and is going through final review.

Manglona, Speaker Guer­rero and Lifoifoi were members of the previous 902 team, the CNMI's first-ever. Manglona was then the Senate president. Other members of the team, appointed by former Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio, wereformerLt. Gov. Pedro A. Tenorio and Ricardo Villagomez of Tinian.

Maria Pangelinan, long one o f the most active women in the community, said she was sur­prised at the appointment, but is honored that the governor rec­ognized her ability to "work for the best interests of the CNMI."

Vietnamese refugee caught in bureaucratic 'Catch 22'By Dan PhillipsVan Maurice Tran is a man

in limbo, a man without a home.

H e's also here in t h e Com m onwealth, where the government is not allow ing him to work and can't find a country to send Tran, a refugee from Vietnam.

The CNMI has ordered Tran deported, but cannot because no country has agreed to accept him yet, according to Deputy Attorney General Eric Smith, who is working on the Tran case for the government

Tran wants to go to the United States, but has not been able to. Smith said the CNMI government will not help him get to the U.S., and could not help even if it wanted to be­cause an official from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service has said Tran does not qualify to enter the U.S.

"Tran is trying to force us to send him to the U.S.," said Smith, ’’but we don’t want the CNMI to be a place refugees use to get to the U.S."

Tran,37, came here in 1988 with a passport from France, who had accepted him, but that passport expired while he was on Saipan and was su b se ­quently revoked by the French government, according to Joe Hill, who is representing Tran.

Smith said that Tran, once he arrived on Saipan, "wrote the French government saying he did not want to continue

with his status as a French refugee."

According to Hill, Tran did not like France, where he felt he was being discrim inated against.

Hill said that it is U.S. pol­icy not to deport refugees, and pointed out that the CNMI is a member of the U.S. political family.

Smith said that. Tran first came to Saipan as a tourist, but then his 30-day entry per­mit expired on September 1, 1988. A deportation order was issued by the court on November 15, 1988, according to Smith.

Tran filed an appeal to the order, but the appeal was dis­missed on January 31, 1989. Since then, Smith and Hill have not found a country will­ing to accept Tran, and the CNMI government will not al­low Tran, an illegal alien, to work.

H ill said that the U.S. at least allows an alien to work if the person is under a deporta­tion order, but temporarily cannot be deported. He called the CNMI's treatment of Tran "cruel and unusual punish­ment."

"It would be a simple matter to allow him to work, but the AG’s Office has threatened to prosecute anyone who hires him, because he is an illegal alien," Hill said.

Smith said he has written to the U.S. State Department, the

United Nations and refugee or­ganizations in the U.S., all to no avail.

"The State Department takes the position this is an immi­gration matter," Smith said. He said that translates into Tran being the CNMI's respon­sibility, because the CNMI handles its own immigration matters.

Hill said nothing has been received in writing as the offi­cial po licy o f the State Department, and indicated that he would write to the Secretary of State. "We will try working from the top down," he said.

"Let's get the question an­swered, whether the answer be yes or no," Hill said.

The French government has indicated that if Tran wants to reapply for refugee status there, it would consider the request, but Tran has not indicated a de­sire to go anywhere except the U.S., according to Smith.

It may be possible to send Tran to Hong Kong, Smith said. He said that Hong Kong, where there are approximately 50,000 Vietnam ese now, is now sending the refugees bacK to Vietnam. Smith said the CNMI has yet to communicate with Hong Kong.

He said that Hong Kong now has an arrangem ent with Vietnam to send the refugees home, an arrangement that is being monitored by the British government to ensure that the

I t Gov, addresses contractorsB y Dan PhillipsLt. G ov. B enjam in T.

Manglona was a special guest at Saturday's monthly meeting o f the CNM I C ontractor's Association, giving a speech and taking time to answer ques­tions.

He told the contractors that he thought the construction boom will increase in Saipan and that beginnings of long­term construction booms will soon be seen in Rota and Tinian.

Manglona, a former contrac­tor and construction inspector, told the m em bers o f the Contractor’s Association that they will play a key role in car­rying out the building code, signed into law by Gov. Larry I. Guerrero the day before.

The p re s id e n t o f the Contractor's Association will be one of a seven-member Building Safety Review Board.

"T h is w ill g iv e theContractor's Association a key role to play in helping prevent accidents and potential loss of life," said Manglona.

Richard Szumiel, the presi­dent o f the C o n t r a c to r 's Association, said he doesn't

feel the code can be called both a building code and a safety code.

"Safety is the responsibility of OSHA or some other gov­ernm ental agency, not the build ing in specto r," said Szum iel, who said that the code as it stands now can be read to include the safety of the people building the structures.

He said that the building in­spector's job is to "see that a building is constructed properly and safely. He is not there to check to see if the workers are wearing their hard hats or steel- toed boots."

In predicting a continuing construction boom, the L t. G overnor noted that the Marianas Visitors Bureau has projected a 50 percent increase in the number of tourists this year over last year, when 302,000 tourists came to the CNMI.

He also noted that a total of 2,402 new hotel rooms are pro­jected for Saipan.

Saipan will only stay com­p e titiv e in in te rn a tio n a l tourism and m anufacturing markets "if we construct safe

and attractive buildings and if we develop reliable and ade­quate infrastructure," Manglona said.

He also encouraged the con­tractors to sit down and discuss their concerns with CNMI leaders.

One contractor remarked that the garment factories receive "special treatm ent” from the Division o f Labor, which has assigned two of its workers to work with the garment industry alone. The contractor said that if this is really the case, then the rapidly-growing construc­tion industry should also re­ceive such special treatment, and Manglona agreed.

Szumiel said that contractors employ more workers than the garment industry, and in fact employ the largest number of workers on the island.

Another concern raised is that a large number of so-called "pick and shovel" contractors are causing problems for the is­land's major contractors.

Szumiel said the contractors are g ra tefu l fo r the Lt. Governor's concern in what they are doing.

Feds OK disaster reliefSaipan will receive approxi­

mately $1.9 million in federal disaster relief to repair damages caused by last m o n t h 's Typhoon Koryn.

"We did not qualify for the public assistance program ," said Felix A. Sasamoto, the CNMI’s disaster relief officer. "That means there will be no money available to private citi­zens who suffered damage from the typhoon."

But the feds will provide 75- percent of the funds needed to

repair damage to government facilities.

M ost o f the $1.9 m illio n will be spent to repair the wa­ter catchment system near the airport. Other funds will go toward repairing utility lines.

A five-member team from the Federal E m e r g e n c y Management Agency (FEMA) arrived in Saipan Wednesday night. Also surveying the dam­age is a team from the Hawaii Corps of Engineers.

School commissioner cites 'eventful' year

PSS - "It has been an eventful year so far, and a lot of accomplishments have taken place in the school sy s te m since January first," said Elizabeth Diaz Rechebei, the newly-appointed Commissioner of Education, in a recent interview.

Commenting on the people she named in acting capacities to fill som e h i g h - l e v e l positions at the PSS, the Education Commissioner said, "They are doing well. T heir morale is high, and they a re willing to work twice as hard to e ffe c tu a te a sm oo th transition."

Another improvement is the technical assistance b e in g rendered to the PSS by th e Governor's Office in running the P S S F i n a n c i a l M a n a g e m e n t S y s t e m smoothly. The Commissioner said, "We are printing our own checks now with the technical assistance from the Finance Department. I really appreciate that gesture of cooperation."

T u rn in g , to s tu d e n t transportation, she: said that the school bus operation i s hampered because of inadequate number of buses at the PSS, resulting in the'late pick-up of students. However, to alleviate this concern, she said at least three new buses, each costing $50,000, are urgently needed in the Fiscal Year 1990 budget. "We need the help of the Legislature to appropriate this amount," she said.

In the area of personnel, she stated that she looks forward to having retired teachers come back to the government to fill teaching vacancies instead of hiring from off-island. She said she would like to have all the vacancies in the PSS filled by the end of February.

Turning to the schools, Rechebei noted that her office is doing a complete assessment

of the job classifications for all PSS.personnel, and encourages all the school principals to update the job classifications and annual perfo rm an ce ev a lu a tio n s o f a ll th e ir employees and submit the lists to the PSS Central Office as soon as possible.

R egarding the N orthern Marianas College, she said as a result of the PSS working closely with the College in sharing resources, personnel, and facilities, the College has o ffered to sta rt teaching computer literacy courses this month at Rota High School.

On school accreditation, she said a team from the Western Association o f Schools and Colleges (WASC) will soon visit Marianas High for an on­site review of the one-year accreditation status the school received from WASC last June. The accomplishments for the last accreditation visit until March of this year will be reviewed for determination on whether accreditation renewal will be granted, she said.

Commenting on the Board of E duca tion , C om m issioner Rechebei said the working relationship with the Board to date is smooth. She noted that the new Board of Education Chairman, Juan L. Babauta, has been kept inform ed of policy issues affecting the PSS through his meetings with her on a regu lar basis. She indicated that the Chairman has been very supportive in the effort to improve the school system.

Rechebei, former Director of E ducation fo r the T ru st Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI), was nam ed as the Commissioner of Education by the CNMI Board of Education late last year, and officially took over the job on January first, succeeding Henry I. Sablan.

Saipan water system has many parts(CUC) - Bringing water from

its source - the island's wells - into island homes, restaurants, hotels and other businesses is not a simple process. In order for the process to function as it should , m any d if fe re n t components must all be made to work and fit t o g e th e r properly.

There are, to begin with, the 61 wells from which the water comes. The wells are not all in the same place. They a re scattered over several parts of the island. Some wells produce more water than others.

They are not all the same depth, nor is the water in the wells all the same. Some of the well water is "basal", and sits on top o f a pool o f salt water. O ther well water is "high" water, and does not come in touch with salt water.

The depth of the wells does not always stay the same. During dry season, water in some of the wells is lower than

during wet season.Knowing where to place a

well to get good water, how deep to drill it and still keep the water salt-free, and how much water it is safe to pump from it can be a very involved decision-making process.

Each of the wells is equipped with a pump connected to the pow er system , and w ith various valves to control the flow of water. But the 6 1 pumps - and well pipes - are not all the same at each of the wells.

Some are large, and others are smaller. Some must pump water farther than others, if the wells are very deep. But if the pump is set too deep, it may pull up the s a l t w a te r underneath the basal water. If the pump is too large, it may pump the well dry.

Som e pum ps are k e p t running 24 hours a day. Others are not. Some are old, others newer. While some have on­

site back-up generators, others don't and if the power fails, those pumps stop working.

Making sure the right pump is correctly installed at the right well, at the right depth and with the right amount of pow er, is a com plicated business.

From the wells, the water is usually routed to a reservoir. Saipan's 11 reservoirs serve as storage tanks for the water, but some serve another purpose as well. They provide pressure to the system.

Saipan's water often has to flow up-hill to reach people's homes. It cannot do this by itself. Either more pumps are needed, to push the water up­hill, or the pressure can come from gravity - from watcrin a reservoir that sits higher than the pipeline it is supposed to fill.

If more water is taken out of the reservoir than is coming in, some pipelines lose pressure,

and some homes sometimes end up without water.

Controlling the water in the reservoirs cannot be done automatically. It is the job of CUC's "waterwatch" crew to keep the reservoirs filled - by turning o ff feeder valves to people's homes and businesses at night, and then re-opening the valves the next morning.

Again, deciding how large a reservoir is needed, where it should be placed, and how many are needed to make the system operate smoothly, is not a simple process.

Between the wells and the reservoirs, and between the reservoirs and the water's final destination, 20 more pumps and dozens o f connecting valves have been built into the system to push the water along the many miles of pipe and up to Saipan's higher areas.

As can be expected, the valves and pumps are not all

the same, because, depending on where they are, they must be able to pum p d ifferent amounts of water to different heights, and accom m odate different levels of pressure.

Also built into the system are 12 treatment plants, where chlorine is added to the water to make it safe to drink. Chlorine evaporate very quickly, and care must be taken that the chlorine is not added too long before it reaches its destination, and that it is not diluted w ithw atcr that has not been treated, or the chlorine will not have any effect.

Keeping an adequate supply of chlorine on hand can be a problem. The chlorine must be imported by ship from Hawaii, through Guam. The chlorine arrives as a gas, in pressurized tanks, which are too heavy to bring in by air. There is no local source, or distributor, of the chlorine. If a ship is late, and not enough chlorine has been stock-piled on island, sometimes the water must be sen t th rough the p ipes untreated.

Interconnecting all these parts - the wells, the reservoirs, and the treatment plants - to each other and to the water's final destination are miles and miles of pipeline.

Different pipes are used in different areas. Some need more flexibility than others. Some are buried underground, others laid a lo n g jh e surface. Some are larger than others, to accommodate larger quantities of water.

Many of the system's parts are old and need to be replaced. They were put in place by the military in the 1940's, though some was built even earlier, in Japanese times. Over the years, pipelines, for example, have corroded, and leak. Saipan's water also has a high mineral content, and som e o f the minerals have collected inside the pipes, clogging them up.

With so many different parts to the system, and so much varie ty am ong the parts themselves, keeping Saipan's w a te r sy stem w o rk in g smoothly and efficiently is, therefore, not a simple chore. Not only is it complicated, but it is also very expensive to keep all the equipm ent is working order, and it requires skilled and dedicated workers.

B ut the CNM I's second seven-year cycle of Covenant funding, which was supposed to go into effect in 1985 - and which is relied upon for mogt utility construction work - was held up in negotiations over the terms of a new seven-year CIP plan, and did not become available until just a little over a year ago.

Now the CUC is faced not only with repairing the many old and worn-out parts o f the system, but also with deciding

sure that we give them good service," said Ray Guerrero, the CUC's new deputy director.

"the payment windows will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. every day except holidays. And we'll also be open on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. until noon," he announced this week.

In addition, a new parking area will be p ro v id ed to customers. Fencing has been removed from the large storage yard to the southeast o f the CUC building, and the area cleared to provide space for customer parking. Entrance to customer service will be moved to the new parking lot side of the building.

Guerrero predicted that the work would be completed by the first o f March.

"We'll need more staff before we can start the longer hours, and that isn't turning out to be as easy to do," he said. He urged anyone interested in applying for the positions to contact Paul Swanson or Mary Babauta at the CUC Billing and A ccounting O ffice a t Lower Base, or to call them at 322-9450.

The renovations are part of a larger plan to c e n t r a l i z e Administrative Service staff, and relocate other sections as well. Construction of a larger conference room is also part of the plan.

"Of course, people can still pay their bills at the Bank of Guam, or the Bank of Hawaii, or mail in their payments," Guerrero noted.

Rape suspect released

The man accused of kidnap­ping and raping an 18-year-old mentally handicapped student was released Tuesday pending further investigation.

Luis Salvosa was previously being held on $250,000 bail. Assistant A ttorney G en e ra l Pam Brown, the prosecutor in this case, had no comment as to why the suspect was r e ­leased.

The preliminary hearing in Superior Court for the 48-year- old Salvosa, scheduled for last Wednesday, was continued to Feb. 14.

Salvosa is accused of luring the woman from her workplace on Jan.-29. He allegedly forced her into his vehicle and drove her to his barracks in Susupe where he tried to rape her. He then, according to the com ­plaint, took her to a nightclub where she refused to drink with him. Later, Salvosa allegedly took the woman to a motel where he raped her at least twice.

If convicted of both kidnap and rape, Salvosa could be sen­tenced to life in prison.

Retirement Fund sues ex-trustee

By Dan Phillips

A former Northern Marianas Retirement Fund trustee is be­ing sued by the fund for not paying back unused travel ad­vances given to him.

T he com plain t filed in Superior Court Monday alleges that former trustee Plácido M. Tagabuel owes the Retirement Fund 54,221.

Tomas B. Aldan, administra­t o r o f the Retirement F u n d , said that Tagabuel had been paying back the debt through payroll deductions, but stopped making payments and refused to make further payments.

Aldan said he didn't know why Tagabuel stopped making the payments. He said th e

missing money was discovered as a result o f a review done by the Public Auditor's Office.

According to the complaint, there were three times that Tagabuel "failed to undertake the travel he received advances for."

The com plaint says th a t Tagabuel stopped m a k in g payments on the debt in July, 1989. The Retirement Fund seeks to have the money repaid with interest and be awarded at­torneys fees.

A ldan sa id th a t the Retirement Fund legal counsel Joel Bcrgsma gave Tagabuel notice three times and asked why he stopped making pay­ments, and that there was no response.

"First on Saipan"

especially need people who can speak Korean, Japanese, Thai and Chinese. Right now we're between arock and ahard place."

Those who qualify will be given four full days of training before heading out into the field to begin getting answers.

The census is expected to cost the government about $250,000 just in the CNMI.

One of the obstacles will be convincing people that the in­formation they provide will not be used by anyone but the Census Bureau.

"We are mandated by law not to divulge the information to anyone," said Stewart. "In fact, our field representatives are sworn to privacy and face jail time if they divulge the infor­mation. ‘

S tew art prom ised that "every structure" on the island would be visited by a census representative. It will take each household approximately 45 minutes to answer all the questions.

On hand to ensure that the local census efforts go smoothly is Carolyn Hay, the U.S. Bureau of the Census advisor to the CNMI.

Stewart hopes to begin the census April 1 and be finished by the end of April.

This will be the 21 st census in U.S. history, the first coming in 1790 when 3.9 million people lived in the U.S.

Today, an estimated quarter- billion people throughout the U.S. and its jurisdiction will be counted.

Wiliam Stewart addresses a recent Saipan Rotary Club meeting to explain the 1990 Census. He said he still needs many Held people who speak Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai.

Vietnamese...Continued from page 4 refugees will not be poorly treated.

"I am just trying to find a place that will accept him," said Smith. He said that doesn't want to help Tran get to the U.S. because then the CNMI "would be a place refugees come seeking to get to the U.S."

Smith said that he wants to make sure the Commonwealth is accessible to "bona-fide tou rists" , not ind iv iduals claiming to be tourists but having som ething else in

mind.Hill said he didn't understand

why Smith is taking that posi­tion, and that the government should probably try to send Tran to the U.S. before sending him to a foreign country. "First ask in your own house­hold, then go abroad," he said.

One problem in getting help for Tran, according to Hill, is that "no one seems to want to take responsibility for him." Hill said that Tran's case falls into a "gray area" because although the CNMI handles its own immigration matters, the U.S. is responsible for han­dling foreign policy and nego­tiations for the CNMI.

NMC enrollment soars on Tinian and RotaSw elling en ro llm en t in

college courses on both Tinian and Rota has contributed to a h e fty in c rease in to ta l enrollm ent at the N orthern M arianas C ollege (N M C), sch o o l a d m i n i s t r a t o r s announced this week. Total e n ro llm e n t fo r S p rin g Semester, which began January 22, now stands at 509 - a 15% increase over the previous semester and a whopping 22% jum p over last year's Spring semester enrollment of 418.

The greatest impact has been felt on the islands o f T in ian and Rota, where enrollment in NMC courses has doubled over previous sem esters; college officials on those i s la n d s couldn't be happier.

Rota's enrollm ent is ju s t over 60, according to N M C Liaison Officer Jesus Taisague. "Over the last couple of years, we've been overaging 20-30 students per semester," stated T aisague, "B ut w ith the increase in course offerings on

R ota th is sem ester, o u r enrollm ent has more th a n doubled."

"Our most popular courses,” Taisague continued, "H ave been the computer classes; we had to open a second section this sem ester after our firs filled up quickly with the maximum 20 students. W e d idn 't want to be tu r n in g people away."

NMC is offering more than two dozen courses on Rota this semester, ranging from basic english classes to business and history classes. "The range and variety of classes is so much greater than we've ever before o ffe red on R o ta ," sa id Taisague. He also said the college hopes to be able to offer some courses d u rin g Summer semester, including more computer classes and a course in word processing. Also, plans are in the works fo r e x te n d in g N M C 's Vocational Education Program

In addition, the justices also point out that if a stay were to be granted, the government would be without a leader if the gover­nor and L t governor were both off-island. TheSenatepresident is supposed to be the acting governor in that situation.

S uperior C ourt Judge Robert A. Hefner had ruled in his judgment that Inos is the proper senate president and had authorizedFinanceDirectorEloy Inos to disburse funds to the Senate president.

Douglas Cushnie, local counsel for Mafnas, said that on appeal he will challenge Inos' assertion that once the Board of Elections certifies the senators and they are swom in, they are in. "Our view is that this im­pinges upon the right of the Senate to organize its own membership," he said.

N either M afnas nor MonessaLujan, theGuam-based attorney representing him, were present at Tuesday's hearing. Cushnie said after the hearing that he did not know where Mafnas was.

The SupremeCourtopinion noted that "serious legal ques­tions are raised" in this case, questions "that go to the heart of the relationship between the judicial and legislative branches of the Commonwealth govr emmenL"

Mafnas also raises serious jurisdictional issues, according to the Supreme Court's opinion, including "questions regarding theSuperior Court's jurisdiction to interpret Senate procedural rules and to rule upon the effect of Senate election challenges."

In addition, the justices note in their opinion, Mafnas main­tains that the Superior Court "abused its discretion, failing to accord him due process rights."

"Foreigner!"

The d ea th o f fo rm er Governor o f Guam Ricky Bordallo took many o f us by surprise. One would find it especially shocking given the fact that Bordallo is known for being a thinker and therefore would be able to rationalize event« th a t a ffe c t him personally despite the severity of adversities that come with the territory of being a leader.

Perhaps it was a b it too much to accept surrender to an au tho rity he m ust have considered "foreign" to his personal b e lie f that even Chamorros across these islands have the rig h t to live in dignity. Ricky Bordallo was a self-made man who never asked for anything else from his

p eo p le o th e r than the opportunity to work as their servant. And a dam good and faithful servant he was as head o f that territory twice in; his political career.

I remember quite vividly that Bordallo came into the highest public office on Guam a millionaire and left the same office four years later a poor man. His death being a public statem ent o f his personal conviction that he didn't do anything wrong will remain a puzzle.only he can resolve. But it will strongly instill in every Chamorro a sense of pride and dignity of being a Chamorro and for fighting for our inalineable right to be what we want to be and not accept the design o f others who care less of our fate as a people. We thank you for being the first friend to come to our aid im m ediately fo llow ing the devastation of Super Typhoon Kim. Let us remember him in our thoughts and prayers throughout the week.

Week-long conference for special education endsBy Dan PhillipsToday is the final day of a

w eek-long conference th e Diamond Hotel is hosting that brings together au thorities from all over the Pacific, a conference aimed at helping children in special education programs.

T he P a c i f i c B a s in In te rag en cy L e a d e r s h i p Conference is an information- sharing opportunity for leaders of special education programs from throughout the Pacific . This is the first time such a conference is being held in the Commonwealth.

Masao M. Ueda, special as­sistant to the director for the Commonwealth Health Center, said this conference brings sev­eral different services together to "sit together and plan action to provide comprehensive ser­vices for the handicapped." Among the service organiza­tions gathered together are spe­cial education, headstart, health services and Catholic Social

Services.Another important goal o f

the conference is to "make par­ents a partner in develop ing services for the children," said Ueda, one of the conference's co-coordinators.

In addition, the conference gives the CNMI an opportu­nity to establish links with other major resource organiza­tions, which can be utilized in the future for providing finan­cial assistance, training and technical advice, according to Ueda.

A number of display tables featuring information are also being provided, displaying in­formation on technical assis­tance organizations, as well as schools and universities.

Lt. Gov. B en jam in T. Manglona, now in the capacity of acting governor, made open­ing remarks Monday.

"While all children arc spe­cial, we recognize that some children have extraordinary needs that cannot always be

m et by fam ily resources alone," said Manglona. "These special needs are best met through a cooperative and coor­dinated approach between fami­lies, specialists and profession­als in the health and education fields."

He called a "partnership be­tween parents and service providers" essential.• Manglona thanked especially Dr. John Shwab for helping to secure funding for the Garapan handicapped children's resource center, as well as for helping organize the conference.

The conference is being sponsored by the CNM I D epartm ent o f Health and E n v iro n m en ta l S e rv ic e s , through the U.S. Public Health Service's Office of Maternal Child and Health.

The CNMI is represented in the conference by U eda, Lorenzo LG. Iriarte, Angie Guerrero, Margaret Dcla Cruz, Josephine Sablan and Arcelia Cody.

A total of 35 experts are at­tending the conference, mostly from the U.S. mainland.

The conference's participants include 33 from the CNMI, seven from American Samoa,

11 from Guam, six from the Federated States of Micronesia, five from Kosrae State, six from Pohnpei, five from Truk, six from Yap, seven from the Marshalls and 16 from Palau.

Ajoste wins geography beeRosalyn Ajoste, a fifth grade

student at, Saipan Community School, won the schoo l's geography bee on February 7, 1990 and a chance at a $25,000 college sch o la rsh ip . The school-level bee, at which stu d en ts answ ered o r a l questions on geography, was the first round in the second annual National Geography Bee that is being sponsored by National Geographic W orld, the Society's m agazine fo r ch ild ren , A m tra ® , and KUDOS® Snack.

The bee was kicked off the w eek o f Jan u ary 29 in thousands of schools around

the United States, District of C olum bia, and five U .S . territories. The school winners, including Rosalyn Ajoste, will now take a written test; up to 100 of the top scorers in each state will be e lig ib le to com pete in their state b e e March 30.

The N ational G eographic Society with its co-sponsors will provide an all-expenses- paid trip to Washington, D.C., for state champions and their teacher escorts to participate in the National Geography Bee finals on May 23 and 24. The first-place national winner will receive a $25,000 co llege scholarship; the second-place winner, a $15,000 scholarship; and the third-place winner, a $ 10,000 scholarship.

A lex T rebek , h o s t o f "Jeopardy!", will moderate the national finals.

The N ational G eographic Society developed the National Geography Bee in response to a growing concern about the lack o f g eo g rap h ic know ledge among young people in the United States. A 10-country Gallup Survey conducted for the Society in 1988 and 1989 found that people in the U.S. ages 18 to 24, the y o u n g est group surveyed, knew less about geography than youn people in any of the other countries.

The National Geographic S ociety , w ith nearly 11 million members, has as its m ission the "increase and d iffusionn o f geographic know ledge." B esides the National Geography Bee, the Society sponsors a number of o ther geography education in itia tiv e s , inc lud ing the Summer Geography Institute for teachers, the N ational Geographic Society Education F o u n d a t io n , a n d th e Geographic Alliance Network, which currently encompasses 34 states.

Bluegrass band off to stormy start

CCAC - High Country, a veteran bluegrass band based in Oakland, California, is touring the Pacific region this month. But as they were about to make their first stop in American Samoa, Hurricane Ofa swept through the U.S. Territory, canceling that portion of their brief itinerary.

This u n fo r tu n a te and untimely calamity should not, however, affect High Country's scheduled stop in the CNMI. Still, even before the tem pest th a t w iped ou t t h e i r performance dates in American Samoa, a glitch developed in High Country's air travel plans that caused them to lose a day on Saipan. Because of that the band will be performing only during the morning of Monday, February 12. H opwood J r . High School will host High Country from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. From Saipan, the band will hop over to Tinian to perform that evening at the Social Hall beginning at 7:30 p.m . The fo llo w in g day, February 13, will see them at the Rota Tennis Court, also beginning at 7:30 a.m. They leave the following morning.

High Country's leader and emcee is Butch W aller, who founded the band over 20 years

ago. He plays the mandolin and sings lead and baritone. On banjo is Larry Cohca, singing lead and tenor vocals. S teve Potticr doubles as bass player and lead guitarist. On rhythm guitar is Jim Mintun who also sings lead. Rounding out the band is Tom Bckcny on the fiddle, and adds mandolin and vocals as well. From Nashville to the N e th e rlan d s , High Country has delighted folks with their mixture of standard and original bluegrass music.

If at all possible, take the tim e to check ou t High Country. After all, who knows when yo u 'll get ano ther opportunity to see this spirited American artform performed professionally by musicians.

This project is sponsored by the Commonwealth Council for Arts and Cultures, the Consortium for Pacific Arts and Cultures, and the National E ndow m ent for the Arts. A dditional private funding com es from J.C . Tenorio E nterprises, Joeten M otor C om pany, M icro C orp ., S a b la n C o rp ., S a b la n E n terp rises, A nn's R etail Store, Saipan Bowling Center, United International Corp., the Tinian Municipal Council, and the Tinian Mayors Office.

Continued from page 8Budget.. .Conthaed from naae 1harbors and other public facili­ties.

But, the governor told the committee that there is a serious need to repair the sewer system and build a more viable water supply.

"The existing sewer system on Saipan is served by two sew­age treatmentplants which were designed and capable of meet­ing the demands estimated in the early 1980s," said the governor. "Population increases and un­precedented economic growth during the last few years have virtually rendered the system incapable of handling current demands resulting in critical systems overload, frequent breakdowns and other prob­lems."

As a result, said the gover­nor, more than a million gallons of raw and untreated sewage is pumped into the near shore wa­ters every day.

"That is certainly an alarm­ing situation," said the governor. "At the present, the condition does not only inhibit continued economic growth, but it also poses a serious threat to the is­land residents and the hundreds of thousands of tourists who visit the Commonwealth every year."

The governor said it will take approximately $41 million to build additional pump stations and transmission lines, expand

"Our guaranteed Covenant funding has never been suffi­cient to permit us to catch up with ourpopulation increases and economic growth," Guerrero said.

He said that the sewer prob­lems in the CNMI, particularly in Saipan, "pose a threat of crisis proportions to the public health and to our environment."

Guerrero told thecommittee that Saipan is currently pumping well over a million gallons of raw sewage a day into the lagoon, and that excess sewage sometimes overflows onto the land in residential and elemen­tary school areas.

He also said that experts

Hundreds attended the state funeral on Guam.

Joining Naraja was Senate President Joseph S. Inos and other members of the Senate and House.

With Gov. Larry I. Guerrero and House Speaker Pedro R. Guerrero in Washington D.C. this week for budget talks, Lt. Gov. Ben T. Manglona was unable to leave Saipan for the funeral and appointed Naraja instead.

Manglona was faced with a problem of who would be in charge if he had gone to Guam

the sewage treatment plants and upgrade the existing sewage outfalls.

He asked the committee for an immediate appropriation of $15.9 million.

Guererro also said the CNMI has about $19.7 million for various ongoing water proj­ects. He said the money is being used to improve and upgrade water transmission and distri­bution lines, improve existing groundwater supplies and iden­tify new ones.

But, he added, because of the limited supply of groundwa­ter, wells are being overpumped, producing high saline water which contains greater than the chloride limit set by health of­ficials, making the water un­suitable for drinking.

He then asked the commit­tee for an additional $13.4 mil­lion to develop the Talofofo Steam Basin as a viable surface water source.

"Mr. Chairman, weare fully cognizant of the budget priori­ties of the federal government and the constraints that the avail­able resources have upon such needs," said the governor. "However, we in the CNMI must address the above concerns as non-action would be potentially disastrous to the health of all CNMI residents and would even­tually set back economic growth, which will put us further and further and further away from achieving economic self suffi- ciency."___________________

One possible source of help could be third-country assis­tance, according to Guerrero. He asked the committee to help in getting the approval of the State Department, as required in the Covenant, forreceiving aid from other countries, such as Japan, if the U.S. cannot help.

At the end of his speech, Guerrero asked the committee to help persuade the president to appoint his representative to the Covenant section 902 talks. The CNMI team was appointed by the governor last Friday.

The 902 talks are negotia­tions between representatives of theU.S.presidentandthe CNMI governor over matters affecting the relationship between the CNMI and the U.S.

for the funeral.The Constitution says that

in the event of the governor's death or incapacitation, the leadership would be passed to the lieutenant governor, then to the Senate President and then to the House Speaker.

But, when the governor leaves for awhile, the leadership totem pole is different In that case, the governorship is passed to the lieutenant governor, then to the Senate President, and then on down through to the Senate Floor, ignoring the House leadership altogether.

L t Gov. Manglona thinks there should be a consistent line of power and will urge for an initiative to change the law.

Water...how many new wells, pumps, reservoirs, pipelines and treatment plants arc needed - and then developing and installing them - to take care of the many new residences, hom esteads, hotels and businesses that have sprung up in recent years, and continue to do so, all over the island.

Some progress has already been made during the past year. Already completed is the new water distribution system for Kagman homestead.

Nearly finished is the project to replace old water lines in the Chalan Kanoa/Susupcarca.

And underway arc six more distribution projects as well as two water developm ent projects, in addition to the six new projects announced this week.

It will still lake time before the entire system works as it should. But at the present rate of accom plishm ent and achievement, that time is not far off.

Enrollment...Continued from page 15 to both Rota and Tinian.

On Tinian, NMC Liaison O f f ic e r R ich a rd U. H ofschneidcr Jr., reports enrollment at 34 this semester, with computer science and Japanese classes highest in demand. "The community's response has been enthusiastic and appreciative," said Hofschneidcr. "It's such a great opportunity for our graduating high school students, our school teachers and our local people to be able to continue their education here on Tinian.

By Jeff AckermanRalph Bryantsays he doesn't

follow Major League baseball in the Uni ted States much anymore. For now, he's concentrating on being one of the best baseball players in Japan.

So far he's doing just fine for a guy from a small town in Georgia.

Bryant is an outfielder for the Kintetsu Buffaloes of Osaka, Japan. He and his teammates have been practicing at the Susupe baseball complex forthe past week and are scheduled to leave for Japan tonight following a banquet at the governor's official mansion ohCapitol Hill.

The 28-year-old Bryant is coming off a year that saw the Buffaloes win the Pacific Division of the Japanese base­ball league. The team fell four games to three in abest-of-seven series for the national championship.

But thatdisappointing finish didn'tdampen Bryant's statistics. He led the league with 49 home runs and hit three homes runs in one game on four separate occasions last year. He also knocked in 121 runs and batted .283.

Bryant was playing in a community college in Georgia when he was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981. The Dodgers sent him to their farm team in Canada and it wasn't until 1985 that he got his first taste of Major League play with the Dodgers.

"I went up and down (between the Dodgers and their minor league club) that year," he remembered. "I probably got about 100 at-bats that year."

But, Los Angeles didn't have much faith in the young prospect and Bryant asked the team to either trade him or release him.

They let him go and it has turned out to be a blessing for the outfielder.

"I love playing in Japan," he said. "I have a two-year contract with the Buffaloes and I'd like to play for the team as long as they let me."

Even though teams in Japan only play about 130 games per season, compared with the 162- game schedule in the Major Leagues, Bryant said players in Japan work hard every day dur­ing the season.

"When it rains in the U.S. the players usually go home,” he said. "In Japan, when it rains we

practice."Last year Bryant only

missed one game, which would be very unusual for a Major League player in the U.S.

There are other differences in Japanese-style of baseball.

"Pitchers in Japan throw more breaking pitches," he said. "You very rarely will get a pitch right over the plate."

The fences are a little closer to home plate in Japan also, but most of Bryant's home runs last year would have cleared most Major League fences.

Each Japanese team is al­lowed two American players. Joining Bryant on the Buffaloes is first-baseman Jim Traber, formerly of the Baltimore Orioles. This will be Bryant's third year with the Buffaloes and Traber's first.

Other American players now in Japan include Warren Cromartie, formerly of the Montreal Expos, Vance Law, Floyd Bannister and Mike Young.

Bryant says he lives in Osaka, Japan and that he spends mostof his off-season months in Vero Beach, Florida and in his hometown in Georgia. His wife will soon be joining him in Japan from their Vero Beach home.

He says the fans in Japan are very knowledgeable about the game of baseball. "For the most part they are more polite than fans in the U.S., but they will boo you from time to time," he laughed.

The Buffaloes were in a close, three-way race in their division for most of the year, which helped boost attendance in the 32,000-seat stadium.

"We finished in first by about a percentage point," he said. "And the third-place team was only a couple of percentage points behind us."

This marked the sixth year the Buffaloes have trained in Saipan and Bryant said he has enjoyed his stay here.

"It didn't seem as hot as it was last year," he said. "I got to goout and do a little sight-seeing and had some fun."

Back home in Japan Bryant has become a celebrity.

"I guess you could say I'm pretty well known there," he said, before heading back to the field where at least 30-40 Japanese reporters and photographers were waiting to take more pictures and ask more questions.
