inah Damage: $7 Million Outside help was beginning

to arrive by mid-week as Saipan was slowly recovering from Typhoon Dinah that caused an estimated $7 million damage.

No lives were lost and few injuries reported from the 110 m.p.h. gales that caused the destruction of 36 homes, left 98 with major damage and 116 with minor damage. More than 1 ,000 persons were evacuated, and 400 supplied with food at emergency centers, according to a report by Frank Chong, disaster control officer.

and report to President Carter. Red Cross disaster specialists started to arrived Monday and opened a service center at Gara pan School on Thursday.

Assistance was also provided by personnel from Guam and the military, and needed equip­ment for water and power services was scheduled to arrive by Dillingham barge on Saturday.

But for the first few days, NMI personnel handled the unblocking of roads, re­storation of some water and power service and cleanup without outside help.

Public Works crews began early Sunday morning clearing major roads of fallen trees and other obstructions.

The fast-moving typhoon, the worst since Jean hit in 1968, destroyed almost all crops, caused major damage to public buildings, snapped power poles like so many match sticks and for 41 hours halted supply of all electricity and water, except power produced by standby generators.

Pete Sasamoto, director of the Department of Public Works, said that his super­visorial personnel and 80% -90% of all employees worked long hours, beginning Sunday to start to reestablish essential services. Only those whose own homes were severely damaged or destroyed did not report, he said. By 6 p.m.

Monday, power was back on the feeder line along Beach Road from the power plant to

PAPER CHASE - Files and documents were scattered all over what had been the Saipan Stevedore Co.

Tanapag, San Roque, Garapan and Capitol Hill were the most severely damaged. Tanapag and San Roque Villages were in shambles after the typhoon struck at 4 a.m. Sunday. It was centered 30 miles west of Saipan and moved at a speed of 25 m.p.h.

Gov. Camacho declared Saipan and Tinian major disaster areas on Tuesday and requested federal assistance. A Federal Emergency Manage­ment Agency team arrived Wednesday to make a survey

Chalan Kanoa. Water, pumped with portable generators, also was available in some areas on evening. By

Monday Tuesday,

evening power service was extended to several other areas.

The governor said he was "very happy" with the speed

with which government employees were restoring services and engaging in the huge cleanup task.

Camacho held a press briefing Monday in Tanapag on property where the Max Taitano home had completely collapsed, to underline the severity of that village's damage. Taitano, a teacher at Tanapag School and his wife were searching for salvagable possessions in the pile of

rubble that had once been their home.

a , Next door, at the pretty ~ little Tanapag Church, where

people had sought shelter, chunks of roofing had been blown away. Across the street, neighbors were hammering back tin sidings and roofs on their partly destroyed houses.

On the other side, the con­crete house owned by House Speaker Joaquin I. Pangelinan

had smashed windows and debris covered what had been an attractively landscaped yard.

Other houses on the street nearest the beach were either partly or totally destroyed.

In San Roque, several houses in the village were partly collapsed of rni~ing tin roofs, with sheetings strewn around.

While none of the concrete

Business Brisk in Building Materials

Hardware dealers were doing a booming business this week as homowners bought building supplies to repair damage homes and stores.

The biggest run appeared to be on tin sheets to replace roofing that had been blown away, but lumber also sold well.

Candles and flashlight batteries also were sold briskly as residents found themselves without power on Sunday and Monday in some areas and longer in others. All ice had been sold out by Monday afternoon.

Lines began to form Monday at those service stations that had their own

generators to pwnp gasoline. But they disappeared on Tuesday as electricity was restored along Beach Road and there appeared to be no shortage of gasoline.

Banks were open only from 9 a.m. to noon because of lack of power with which to operate their electric accounting machines and also because there was some absenteeism among employees whose homes had been damaged in the typhoon.

Saipan Stevedoring, whose office was destroyed, reopened Wednesday, but United Micronesian Development Corp. received major , damage

otel Switc e onda Reck ess Driver's

The Saipan Continental Hotel is expected to change its name and ownership Monday with the last government technicality out of the way.

Pete A. Tenorio,executive director of the Marianas Public Land Corporation, said the board had approved the lease transfer of the 4.7 hectares property to the new owners. He said the 30-year lease will expire in 2001, with two 10-year extension options avail­able.

The hotel will pay $25,000 a year rent for the land or a percentage of the gro~, which ever is larger, he said.

The hotel will be known as the Saipan Hyatt Regency, Tenorio said, with the new management taking over this Monday.

Tenorio and some of the ·public land board members talked to Hyatt Corp. and Wah Kwang Corp. officials during a recent trip to Hong Kong. The Wah Kwang Corp. which has

The charge involved a Sept. 22 incident in which the prosecution charged Rabauli,nan was traveling at 60 m.p.h. on 2-W Highway

Police said Jesus Lisua, 59, of Chalan Kanoa, was fatally injured when struck by a pick­up truck while crossing Beach Road in front of the Beach Road Market last Saturday about 8:30 p.m., according to Lt. Frank Pickelsimer, head of the police traffic division. The victim died of head wounds at Dr. Torres Hospital before he could be evacuated to Guam, he said.

Boycott Threatened In Dumping

PONAPE - A resolution requesting the FSM President to begin talks with other Pacific Island nations and territories to organize a boy­cott of Japanese goods if Japan proceeds to dump nuclear waste north of the Mariana Islands or elsewhere in the Pacific basin, was adopted by the FSM Congress during the last day of the fourth regular session.

The resolution, stated in part that despite unanimous and vigorous protests "the Japanese Ministery of Science and Technology is still pro- . ceeding to convert the Pacific Ocean into a nuclear dumping site."

The resolution noted that , nations and territories of the Pacific imported "hundreds of million of dollars in goods from Japan" and that the threat of a unified boycott by these nations and territories of Japanese goods. to take effect upon the dumping of nuclear waste north of the Mariana islands should dis­courage the government of Japan" from proceeding with its dumping plans.

ed Cr A service center to

provide for the immediate needs of typhoon victims was put into operations Thursday by the American Red Cross.

The center at the Garapan School will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to supply applicants with vouchers for food, clothing and shelter, according to Mary Ellen Welsh, coordinator for disaster volunteers who arrived here Wednesday, along with Allen Whear, who is taking charge of the Red Cross operations on Saipan.

Persons who need immediate help may go to the center to fill out application fonns and will be supplied with vouchers that can be used

55 Opens at major stores, she said. Volunteers will assist with the interviews.

Salma Chastaine, also a disaster specialist from San Francisco, arrived here Monday to start a preliminary survey of disaster help needs. She had been working in Guam with Typhoon Betty victims.

She stressed that items given families through the Red Cross are outright gifts, paid for by donations.

A second form of help is expected to come through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Six members of the group arrived here Wednesday and they will conduct a survey of public and private damage to assess the need for federal

ent r help, requested by Gov. Camacho who has declared Saipan and Tinian disaster areas.

If President Carter proclaims the islands a disaster area, FEMA will provide funding for public projects and the private sector. The federal government would prO\ide 75% of the funds with the remainder owed by the Commonwealth.

Residents would be helped with damaged homes and effects through the Individual Family Grant Program which allows a maximum payment of $5,000 , or through Small Business Administration loans. Camacho has requested $1.5 million for the family programs.

TYPHOON AFTERMATH - Scenes of destruction were everywhere in Saipan. Qockwise from top right: One of dozens of houses that lost roofs; Ben Cepeda with broken tree at San Jose Beach; damaged boat at Charlie Dock; snapped power pole, and Jack Layne's half-submerged boat.

Heavy Crop Losses About 90% of the crops on

commercial farms were destroyed while subsistence farmers lost about 80%, Pete Dela Cruz, director of the Department of Natural Re­sources, said.

He said that about 99% of the banana trees were destroyed, many papaya and

· coconut trees were blown down and that most of the staple crops were lost.

He estimated damage to

agriculture and fishing sectors at about $1.15 million following preliminary surveys. He said that the figure included lost fishing boats, fishing facilities and fish lost due to lack of ice.

There was some hope that some of the yam crop which was about ready for harvesting, may be salvaged, agriculture officials said.

Hard hit were lettuce, cucumbers, egg plant and tomatoes.

Moratorium on Loan Repayments Requested

Rep. Antonio S. Guerrero, chainnan of the House Com­mittee on Resources and Development, has asked the Economic Development Loan Fund to place a moratorium on loan payments by borrowers who suffered . loss or damage from Typhoon Dinah. Guerrero made the request in a letter to Governor Carlos S. Camacho.

"Such consideration is important in order to allow the borrowers to recoup and be able to be operational again

after sustaining their losses from the typhoon disaster," Guerrero said.

Guerrero also suggested that Camacho request commercial lenders to extend similar consideration to their com­mercial customers who received major damage.

The Saipan legislator said he made a similar request in 1978 after the big flood and a mora­torium was placed on loan payments by the Economic Development Loan Fund.

E IT I Typhoon Dinah, disastrous as it was to the many who lost their homes or

suffered major property losses, showed the people of Saipan at their best. There was no panic, no whining and complaining from those who bore the

greatest material losses. Instead, they searched through the rubble for what could be salvaged and then set about at once to repair the damage. Even by Sunday morning the sound of hammers and saws could be heard as the re-construction work began.

Others, with lesser structural damage, were busy mopping up flooded houses and cutting and removing piles of fallen trees and branches from their property. By Sunday afternoon the Puerto Rico dump was heaped high with tree branches hauled in by fast-working homeowners.

Government officials, for once laying aside political differences and feuds, moved quickly to cope with the emergency. By Sunday morning the first strategy meeting was held and an ~ent of the damage was begun.

Even earlier on Sunday morning, public works crews started clearing the major roads of fallen trees, power poles and other obstacles. Other teams worked feverishly late into the evenings to restore water and electricity and managed to return these services to parts of Saipan by Monday evening, a little more than 36 hours after Dinah left its path of destruction.

Other government departments worked equally well in coping with the crisis ~en though many of the employees had suffered damage to their homes and had their own worries.

Surveys on the extent of damage and human needs were begun almost immediately and ~istance was provided by government and private sources to those who were made homeless.

Top government leaders, from Gov. Camacho down, handled the crisis cabnly and decisively and briefed the news media frequently so they could infonn the public on what was being done.

Our sincere compliments to the officials and government employees who did such an outstanding job during the emergency and to those homeowners who bore their losses with such cabn and courage.

Dear Editor I see the casino gambling bill remained undefeated. Well at least those cons­

picuous poker machines recently storied in your paper said so. Certainly the vendors' opinion would be such that they were only amusement machines as they had maintained. Who is kidding who?

I do not intend to be technical, but those machines are not "amusement machines", for an exchange of value (money) is involved. And since money acts as a go-in-between between the player and the machine - that is the collecting and giving of money is involved - I believe that constitutes gambling at face value. . Specifically, those machines are programmed to collect and give out money at mtervals. Here, gambling is demonstrated at its best. However, more often than not, players are the losers, the vendor however being the final winner for he gobbles up the profits.

I would support any move towards the immediate confiscation of those machines. After all, the slots in the government warehouse have been stored for too long now. It is about time the poker machines join them as consoliong .. part­ners" ~ isolation! komo tine-teka salape, maseha hafa na huego ba-ba-ha!

Sincerely yours, VC.Camacho Las 'Yeps, Nevada

Heat over Fund Freeze Meredith Glenn

Economic development monies are important to the futme well-being of Micro­nesia, and HiCom Winkel and the U.S. Government have been criticized by the FSM Congress for alleged failures in the area.

One of the problem areas is the Economic Development Loan Fund. Its monies have been frozen since 1975, because of administering difficulties and the need to rewrite its operating regulations.

However, the regulations received the necessary Appropriations Committee approval from the U.S. Congress almost a year ago. FSM senators questioned why Winkel had not yet released the EDLF monies.

. Sen. Raymond Setik of Truk said that the Department of Interior had pro­nused to make at least $1 million available by April , 1980. Although 6 months have passed, the FSM still does not have access to any funds.

Sen. Sasao Gouland , also of Truk, charged that the HiCom's lack of action " ... perpetuates the stagnant economic development we all faced today." and asked that . Winkel "reassess" his position in the release of the economic development morues.

In a separate action, the Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia approved a strongly worded resolution reminding the U.S. of its unfulfilled committments to Micronesia as part of its U.N. Trusteeship responsibility.

The resolution cited the High Commissioner's assurance to the United Nations in 1978 that the U.S. was going to " ... develop, fund, and initiate the construction of the basic amenities of life in the outer islands and to provide a greater opportu­nity for economic development for their inhabitants."

That outer island development program was to be funded for $127 million but the FY 82 budget requested by the Department of the Interior for the Trus; Territory "abruptly canceled" the funding.

The Congressional resolution noted that improvement of the infrastructure of the outer islands was one of the problem areas mentioned by visiting missions from the U.N. Trusteeship Council during their tours of the Trust Territory.

The FSM Congress asked that the Department of Interior add $38 million to its budget request for 1982, so that the engineering studies could be completed and construction work begun.

struck a falling pole, causing him a disclocated shoulder. The family and three children who were staying with them, then walked and crawled the rest of their way to the High Court building while the typhoon howled around them.

Public safety employees cruised the villages several hours before the typhoon struck, urging residents of wooden and tin houses to seek shelter in one of the established emergency centers.

Felix Sasam o to , civil defense coordinator, who with Chong, manned the disaster control center, said that first reports of a tropical storm were received Friday afternoon from the Naval Oceanographic Command Center in Guam.

He said on Saturday morning, the warning came that the storm was heading toward Saipan. He said that by 7 p .m. Saturday, Dinah was to be considered a typhoon and a condition II was declared. This became condition I, with its arrival time expected at 4 a.m. Sunday.

The typhoon, which covered a 300-mile radius, arrived just about on tin1e.

Sasamoto said that when the power was cut off about 1 a.m. Sunday, ending teletype connection with Kagman communication center, its chief, Tobias Aguon, hopped into his car with the latest message and delivered it to the disaster office in Civic Center.

Lt. Gov. Francisco C. Ada, said that "we were fortunate at the speed of the typhoon." He said had it traveled more slowly than the 25 m.p.h .. recorded, it would have wreaked even more damage.

Camacho reported that damage to public facilities in Saipan and Tinian was $2,028,000. He listed damage for the Trust Territory at $537,000, private individuals, $1.6 million; agriculture, $1.2 million, and business, $1.5 million.

to both its office and its Honda agency where a number of vehicles were crushed when the front and roofing of the metal building caved in. Ernest Milne, head of Micronesia Insurance Underwriters, said the building was insured for $135,000.

He said his company also had a $300,000 policy on the Marianas Queen the ferry boat that was hurled onto a reef off American Memorial Park. A crew member said the ferry had been anchored near Managaha Island but the anchor failed to hold and the ship was driven onto the reef. He said divers failed to find any damage to the bottom of the Marianas Queen, and that efforts will be made to drag it off with a tug from Guam.

Across the harbor, the Princess of Saipan, a large glassbottom boat reportedly tore loose from Charlie dock and was beached near the seaplane ramps. The typhoon also damaged several boats under construction or repair in Ken Kamemura's boat yard.

Telephone service to 9 number was cut off although most 6 prefix phones were operable.

Saipan Cable TV resumed partial operations Tuesday afternoon and was expected to bring back regular program­ming by this Friday.

Both Saipan Cable TV and MTC are coordinating their line repairs with Public Work crews.

Milne said that his company is paying claims of a little over $1.5 million. He said the first payments were made Wednes­day to Msgr. Thomas Camacho and Father Jose Villagomez for damages to churches. He· said he hoped to wind up payments to insured homeowners by Friday and the business claims by next week.
