Faulty wiring shows need for building code their 'short-cuts' and be forced to do a proper installation.

Our years of lax building standards have finally caught up with us. According to a report issued to the Common­wealth Utilities Commission last week, the electrical wiring in the homes and businesses of Saipan is far from any 'standard.' In fact, the slapped-together circuits of many buildings were described as" ... lethal" by experts.

What better reason could be given to the legislature to enact a Commonwealth Building Code? The time has come for Saipan and the rest of this young 'nation' to come into the 20th century in relation to construction require­ments.

We are now faced with a major problem Gust another to add to the growing list); How do we get electrical meters installed if they will not function correctly? Without me­ters we have no way of knowing how much electricity a consumer uses and should pay for.

RIPE! LINE· 234-9797 AFIBRSP.M.

Installation of meters is one component of the Depart­mentoflnteriors release of certain funds. If the meters can not be installed because of defective building wiring, then we can not meet that criteria ... thus the DOI is justified in holding back these.monies.

The Variety feels that if, when the time comes to install a meter on houses and commercial buildings, that a certain structure does not meet wiring specifications, they should be disconnected from the electrical grid or never initially connected until they do meet safety codes.

However, the owners of buildings now connected should be given a reasonable time to bring their wiring into compliance before being disconnected. That reason­able period should not extend beyond 30-45 days.

We also feel that contractors who installed defective wiring in the first place should be held accountable for

From time-to-tiine we receive calls on the Grij>eline or our personal telephones from concerned readers asking that some­thing be "investigated, and done something about." Such was the case earlier this week when a caller asked about a domestic incident between a local police officer and his wife at a local club.

The cal lcr alleged that the Department of Public Safety had not done anything about the alleged assault.

We promised to check into the matter, and it was done. DPS director Ed Manibusan said Wednesday that the department IS taking the matter quite seriously, and the alleged assault was being investigated by the Internal Affairs Division.

He said that if disciplinary action is mandated against the officer, it will be after the office has had a chance to appear before the AID officer, Manibusan himself and others respon­sible for discipline.

Just because someone is a police officer does not make them above the Jaw, Manibusan said. He declined to talk about the possibility of criminal charges being filed against the officer until the investigation of the alleged incident is completed.

The paramount question now facing us is who sets the standard? We feel that an electrical code for such places as California, Tahiti, etc. could be 'borrowed' en-masse and made the law of the Commonwealth with little trouble or 'research' by the legislature.

Failure to act on this question, especially in light of the revelations made to CUC last week, is dereliction of responsibility by our lawmakers. Why wait until the matter is too much out-of-control, or too late to correct?

We should have learned our lesson by now, especially with our crying need for zoning codes.

Our elected lawmakers should ALSO be held account­able for their inactions in important matters at election time.

***************** "Just a comment regarding the metering as talked about in

your Tuesday article, " a caller said. "Why can't they establish a minimum requirement - a standard - and give people a reasonable period of time to meet that standard. If they haven't met it after notification, just cut power. That's what would be done in most places."

Deat Editor: The introduction of House Bill No. 6-131

in the CNMI Legislature by Floor Leader Vicente M. Sablan requiring government agencies to act affirmatively to put privately owned wildlife habitats in public hands is a step in the right direction to secure wetlands endangered species a perpetual sanctuary.

It is not enough that privately owned lands in wetland areas be restricted on their use in order that critical, wetland-dependent wild­life be protected. Restricting use of some­one's land not suiting his purpose but to suit a public purpose might just invite the owner to rid his land of the very thing intended to be protected. In other words, a landowner might just bum his "karino" covered land to kill the endangered species and cr::..:aI wild­life, which wouldeventuaJI~· ;end altogether

• to their extinction - ':. ... nilling word, so that the restriction would be lifted.

I tis truly sad that just within a decade ago, ata time when we have the means and resources to protect wildlife, that the Marianas Mallard became officially extinct. I under­stand that ~ow there are several wetland-dependent wild­life in the CNMI which are also included in the Federal endangered species list How critical is their existence?

We lost the Marianas Mallards forever because the CNMI government did not do enough to save them. House Bill No. 6-131 is part of the solution to save the endangered birds, now! Our future generations are entitled to enjoy them also.

"Citizen" just empty title Today is "Citizenship Day"

throughout the Northern Mari­ana Islands. I see it as a day which brings mixed feelings to many of us especially those who must necessarily bring their case to the Federal District Court for disposi~on their hav­ing been denied citizenship and passports.

What the Justice Department and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services have done, AGAIN through SELF­SERVICE-legal interpretations of the Covenant Agreement and other pertinent federal laws, are actions which formed the

. VERY BASIS OF OUR SEEK-ING . FOR SOVEREIGNTY FOR THE COMMON­WEALTII OF 1HE NORTH­ERN MARIANA ISLANDS.

Therefore, the route we have taken is justified and is predi­cated by more than forty years of frustrations eminating from agencies of the U.S. Govern­ment Whenever a fundamental

Over the years I have kept notes on the place and people of my life. My original idea was to write a book loosely based on the facts of my experiences. I have lost many valuabie articles of this or that nature through traveling but I have always somehow hung on to those notes.

The ambitious project came

issue is questioned, one agency so detennines that the Northern Mari­anas is a FOREIG~ GOVERN­MENT for this and that reason; and, a POLffiCAL SUBDMSION of the U.S. Government that this and that purpose.

If anything, the U.S. Government and all its agencies have at least been very CONSISTENT in their INCONSISTENCY. We're not that all crazy to be branded U.S. Citi­zens. And if the Justice Department and U.S. Immigration feels other­wise (that some of us locals do not qualify to become U.S. Citizens all premised upon some warped inter­pretation of law) take that Citizen­ship and dump it in the Marianas Trench. It's deep enough for it to disappear forever.

Furthermore, that the CNMI is given a federal role in the case of immigration (CNMI controls it) then, logically, the CNMI Legisla­ture can legally naturalize those aspiring for U.S. Citizenship ac­cording to law. But foremost, it must seek to naturalize those locals

to me when I was just a young man of my late 20's. Why in the world, I thought, a life barely beginning would someday be worth a book offered to the eyes of others, I don't know at this state of my ilfe.

I forgot about the project for many years as survival became a task which consumed more and more of my waking hours. Yet, re­cently I have turned back to it again

***************** ''Like everything else on this

island, use of government ve­hicles seems to be out of con­trol. I don't mind seeing depart­ment directors taking their cars home because they are often on­call. But, it seems like half the government employees are now driving NEW government cars home at night, on weekends, and out for lunch. Is this the newest benefit for working for the government?"

The caller also took umbrage with a comment made by an MPLC official "that most of the island has been bought up by Japanese and people from New York. Who's he trying to kid? His own agency has given away most of the island. Now that they have, they are finally coming up with a land use plan that they are calling the 'poople's plan.' What's left for the people ... the dump?"

*********************

"The coupons should be elimi­nated because nobody knows what they are worth around here," a caller said. "How can you expect you ex­pect the government to do some­thing simple like a road when they can't even get people into housing after Typhoon Kim.? There are still people by the post office and the mayors office who don't have hous­ing. Seems like to me they have had enough time to organize and help them people."

******************** A caller who identified himself as

an alien worker said "as a Filipino, I am tired of being talked about as crowding the CNMI, and should be sent home. It always hurts me when people write to the leuers to the editor section."

He said he felt the critics "are sincere in their clamor to stop alien workers from coming into the is­lands." He suggested that the critics of alien workers should back up their convictions by sending their Filipina maids back home, then "report that to your paper."

which the Justice Department and U.S. Immigration have seen fit to"deny citizenship. Let's test it so to find out its legal standing or validity!

Consequently, the U.S. Gov­ernment has agreed that the CNMI is legally suited to carry­on the role of the federal govern­ment insotar as immigration is concerned. Therefore, the U.S. Government must agree- and accept that our request to control our 200-mile exclusive eco­nomic zone is logical and legal having set a precedent, in the instant case, with our controlling immigration. Sorry J udgeAifred Laureta, I have to disagree with your decision that the Magnuson Act applies out here.

It is sickening enough writing about how Uncle Sam has handled dished-out legal ambi­guities about what we are under the Stars and Stripes Forever. It is even more sickening watching his "hot shots" bungle-up deci­sions that should be focused at

facilitating our securing greater self-government And it· further sickening knowing that for forty years, the big boys in Washington have used up every opportunity to frustrate our efforts as we struggle to discourage and cut-off the umbelical cord from prolonging the existence of a form of government we know of as neo-colonialism. Such is the state of affairs today.

Many of us were promised that Covenant approval also means automatic U.S. Citizenship. Such wasn't the case and it is a difficult thing to swallow. We should all have been bestowed this citizenship when our constitutional government was installed ten years ago. That historical eventtook place in 1978 ! The question ofU .S. Citizenship (for those denied) is a DECADE OLD! This holiday is just another holiday which doesn't have any significance at all for many of us. I therefore refrain from observing it with any sense of importance. I also have mixed feelings about it My personal condolences! Continues on page 4

Dear Editor: Last week the Saipan Rotary

Club hosted a very special eve­ning in recognition ofoursonJon Sakovich, the NMI's fust partici­pant in the Olympic Games. It was a very meaningful reward for his hardwork and determination.

Governor Pedro P. Tenorio, Senator Benjamin Manglona, Jose C. Tenorio and Rotary Presi­dent Dennis Yoshimoto all stated that Jon's accomplishments show self discipline and determination, both desirable qualities that sports can create for all children when conducted within a coordi­nated wholesome sports pro­gram, both in and out of school. These qualities which are learned from one's participation in sport.

IT&E Econo-Call long distance service offers the lowest long distance rates from Saipan and dependable service to over 140.countries around the world.

spill over into life as has been proven time and again in many surveys and studies. These along with other quali­ties derived through participation in sports makes type of individual an Ambassador of Goodwill as he trav-els for his sport •

The Rotarians have done alot for our island, and I cannot Thank enough, Bob Loughrey, Dennis Yoshimoto, and all Rotarians for their efforts in honoring the special achievements of an athlete. The Saipan Rotary Club has taken an ini­tial step, and we Thank them for that, with the hope that other groups and organizations will see the value of sports in the desirable development of children.

I don't feel enough recognition or support is given to our athletes, and therefore leaving a lack of incentives for the athlete to excel. The problem is not just facilities, which are im­proving, but motivation for the ath­letes, coaching expertise and parental and community support. No child can do it alone. The parent must help the individual, and the community the program.

During the past year, the NMI's athletic accomplishments have been seen in Running, Triathlons, Swim­ming, and Little League Baseball, in addition to the NMI's teams perform­ance in the New Caledonia South Pacific Games. Also from these, much free publicity was generated for our island because of these out­standing athletic performances.

Soon the Northern Marianas will officially become part of the Olym­pic Family, and be able to send its own athletes to the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. And in leading up to those Games, we must begin training now. As a stepping stone towards the Olympics, we pla11 to use the Micro Olympics in 1990 and the South Pacific Garnes in 1991.

With all these major competitions ahead. and others, we must begin our training efforts and community sup­port now.

Again, to the Saipan Rota Club, a tremendous THANK YOU, for a beautiful evening and your support in sports.

Sincerely yours, ls/Bill and Jean Sakovich

FRIDAY ,NOVEMBER4, 1988 MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS --PAGE 5

Alcohol abus·e report .. rrompage 1 Board, Judge Ramon Villagomez of the Commonwealth Trial Court, Edward Manibusan, director of the Department of Public Safety; Margarita Olopai-Taitano, adrninistratorofYouth Services and Gabriel Boyer, ex:ecutive director of the Saipan Chamber of Commerce, all agreed in the report rhat stifler penalties for alcohol abuse, tied to an intensive alcohol educa-tion campaign, was sorely needed in the Com­monwealth. . A key factorin the l1tcohol abuse problem in the CNMI is the classic conflict between rhe 'have's' and the 'have-not's' in society, the report stressed. The Commonwealth and its society have under­gone drastic changes over the past few years. "As a result, the people are frustrated and placed under tremendous tension and pressure. To help reduce such tension and frustration, they resort to alco­holic drinks."

The task force has met each week, according to a cover letter signed by i>r. Villagomez. "Al­though some of I.he recommendations may be difficult to accomplish, if we take this matter seriously, and attempt to implement these recom­mendations, we can be successful."

Task Force members say alcohol abuse is one of the major - if not THE major - health and social problem in the Commonwealth. "Alcohol is more widely-used that any other drug by persons of all ages."

"Overwhelming" figures of alcohol imported into the CNMI were cited by the task force, including the annual import of beer alone is

Lt. Gov. Ten­orio . said edu­cation and un­derstanding of alcohol abuse should begin almost from the time of birth. He looked in retrospect how alcohol may be considered as fun, or a joke. "Parents would think it was funny that they would put a few drops of alcohol, beer, like that, in their baby's mouth,just to get a reaction f onn the child."

Now, Tenorio said· the idea has no humor, and could end in tragedy for the baby and its family.

423,000 CASES, or 10.152 MILLION cans of beer. There was no data in the report delineating Lhe Lotal amount of hard liquor, wine, etc. also imported and consumed. Mention was also made of the local alcohol product, tuba, and how it is sold unlicensed or taxed at local stores. No figures were revealed as to how much was sold.

Judge Villagomez said in an intervie""'. that the p~el's overview of alcohol imports did consider the sliding scale of the over 100,000 Japanese tounsts who v1s1t the Commonwealth, and how much alcohol is actually consumed by them - not local citizens.

The amount of alcohol may not necessarily be the problem, although it is a key factor, the report says. Cultural mores revolving around the use of alco- . . . ............................ .

~~~~~~§~~,~~~!EE 14~illlff0''' m.•••mm~~•~m• alcohol," the report alleges.

The propensity for Chamorro and Carolinian families to throw big parties for various occasions and the free-flow of alcohol was identified as a paramount problem in the Commonwealth. The task force said anyone, whether of legal age or not, could walk up and pour themselves a drink. . as many times as they want.

To compound the problem, the report said hosts buy alcohol based on the assumption that they should have enough so everyone can drink as much as they can actually hold.

Young people who attend these parties have a "lack of control," the report alleges, and "as a result they over-consume_":

Cultural influences of being a good host and joking with guests and relatives about their alco­hol consumption is also an identifiable problem, the report says. At times party guests may decide they have had enough to drink, but hosts and other party attenders" .. disagree and encourage further drinking and continue pushing drinks toward the person. Many people cannot resist such pressure and continue to drink."

The task force wants the legislature to enact laws which would require these gatherings to be licensed by Alcohol Beverage Control authori­ties, and the mandate that a licensed bar tender must be hired to dispense drinks instead of the 'serve yourself' way now employed at almost all social functions.

A bar te?der would not be licensed on his or her ability to mix drinks, but in their knowledge and understanding of the laws and effects of alcohol. The bartender would not be allowed to serve minors and that pr~~nce would also stop minors from being served by anyone else. ' Ad~1uonall y, the task force w~ts rhe legislature to enact laws making hosts civilly liable for actions taken

by their guests who ~eave~ party ma drunken state and cause injury to others. That civil liability should also extend to commercial busmesses, the report suggested.

Another misconception about alcohol abuse is that actions taken in a drunken stupor are tended to be ov~rl_ooked by the law. The report said this was especially pertinent to crimes involving sexual abuse of children. ~partme~t of Youth ~ervices files fairly bulge with alcohol abuse related problems. They range from

beaung up wives and children, gambling away the family income and sex:ual abuse cases, the report says. . C~C probably has the most contact with alcohol abuse on a day-to-day basis. The report said that " a

significant number of alcohol-related health problems come to the hospital, especially the young people." Cont/n!Jes on page 30

Alien worker family issue debated (again) ... Frompage1

''The Commonwealth is not ready to talce care of any more aliens," he said. "Ifl have to take sides between those who say we are hurting develop~ent, and the .desires of the people who elected me to office, I have to take the side of;the local people. I have to protect the indigenous people first."

Babauta also said something must be done to protect the local people from the strain put on public services due to the rapid rise in the population on the is­land. But, he suggested instead of the piecemeal approach to chang­ing Public Law 5-32 a more comprehensive approach is needed.

''There was testimony that we ny to amend that law almost every week; well, its not every week, but there are a lot of bills dealing with the alien labor prob­lem and they all should be con­solidated into one bill," said Babauta.

While the proposed bill to send dependents now in the CNMI back to their home nations ran into trouble, the second bill which would restrict future enny of all alien labor dependents, was almost fully supported by those in government testifying at the hearing. There was also corre­sponding full non-support from those in the private sector.

Total support came from the representative of the Carolinian Affairs Office who said "If some­thing is not done we, the indige­nous people, will become a mi­nority in our own land."

Support and praise for the Senate came from Chief oflmmi­gration, Dr. John Joyner, Ph. D .. Joyner called the act of the Senate to even consider such legislation "brave" because by considering the bills, the senators have opened themselves to attacks of being 'insensitive.' Joyner said the charges of insensitivity must be weighed against the benefits the bills would have.

''These bill arc directed to the heart of the problem. and I con­gratulate you on your wisdom,"

said Joyner. "These bills are an expression of your love for the Commonwealth."

Joyner brought some statistics with him to the meeting showing there are 17 ,000 aliens in the CNMI. Just under 300 immediate relatives of non-resident work­ers, and nearly 800 relatives of aliens of every kind are here.

However, those who would be denied the company of their family should the bills pass, and those who would have to recruit workers without being able to let them bring their families ,gave a sound 'thumbs down' to both bills.

"It appears that the drafters of the bills, and any supporters it may have, would like the hotel industry, and perhaps, other in­dustries as well, to cease all op­erations," said Attorney David Wiseman representing the Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands.

"Is this government so uncar­ing and insensitive, that it would seek to break up the family unit," he added. Wiseman also brought with him to the hearing the objec­tions on the bill from the Chinese Association;

He also made the point that it would be difficult for businesses of all kinds to recruit key person­nel if those who were considering coming to the CNMI were told they had to leave their families behind.

President of the Korean Asso­ciation listed a number of bills all aimed at non-resident workers being considered by the legisla­tors.

"What is next for you?" he asked. "We can not expect a posi­tive future for non-resident work­ers in the Commonwealth if things continue as they are."

Special Assistant for Woman's Affairs, Anicia Tomokanc, sug­gested legislators be more spe­cific as to what element of the alien work force was being tar­geted by the bills.

"I should say I do not support these bills until they clarify which

FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 4, 1988 MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS -- PAGE 9

Some thoughts on citizenship Distinguished Members of the

Senate, Honored Visitors and Guests, Able Staff, Ladies and Gentlemen:

Tomorrow, November 4th, is Citizenship Day - a day that has special meaning for our people in the Commonwealth of the North­ern Marianas.

It was only two years ago that President Ronald Reagan issued the historic proclamation that put into full force the Common­wealth relationship, which in­cluded; among other things, United States Citizenship for our people. For many of us, espe­cially those who were born before the Americans liberated our is­lands in 1944, the president's proclamation was the fulfillment of a dream which has been cher­ished and liberty for our people has always been a distant dream .

Consider the fact that the roots of our dreams of freedom and liberty go back much further than 40 years. This is bcca use the flags of four nations have Down over our islands since the turn of the century.

Many of our parents were born under the flag of Japan. Many of our grandparents were born un­der the flag of Germany and some of our great grandparents were born during the time that Spain still ruled our islands.

But now, because of our Com­monwealth Covenant which was so overwhelmingly approved by our people, for the most part we enjoy the same rights and privi­leges as other citizens of the United St.ates of America. It is for this reason that tomorrow on Citi­zenship Day - we should be thankful.

In saying this, however, l must point out that certain shortcom­ings do exist in our relationship with the United States with re­spect to our right to full local self­govemment. Under our Com­monwealth Covenant, the United States granted us a political status unlike any other U.S. Territory or Commonwealth. The United States pledged to allow the Northern Marianas the right to local self-government. This is because unlike the organic act of Guam, or the Commonwealth Agreement for Puerto Rico, our Commonwealth Covenant takes into account the fact that our is­lands are located more than 9 ,000 miles from Washington, D.C., and that we lack voice and vote in the national political process. That's the difference in our spe­cial relationship with the United States where the mutual interests ofbolh sides arc protected. That's

the difference that guarantees us freedom and liberty. And it's the same difference that guarantees US democracy and full internal self-government. The problem is, the Federal Government has been too slow to recognize and appre­ciate these differences.

As LO the true meaning of Citi­zenship Day in the CNMI, how­ever, let us recognize that fact that certain duties and responsibilities accompany these rights and privileges which President Re­agan has bestowed upon our people. It was for this s~e rea­son that President John F. Ken­nedy once said to the People of the United States. "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask

As

what you can do for your coun­tzy."

Tomorrow, on Citizenship Day here in the Commonwealth, let US remind ourselves of these famous words of President Ken­nedy. In doing so, may we all join hands in President Kennedy's "Can-Do" spirit. Let us resolve to work together with renewed vigor to make all of our islands and our Commonwealth a proud part of the American Political Family. In the process, let us also double our efforts to achieve the promise of full self-government as our Covenant originally in­tended.

Thank you.

Senate president Benjamin Manglona

PSS board attends meeting

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1988- MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS -- PAGE 11

Eyesores of the CNMI

PSS - The CNMI Board of Education in coordination with the Pacific Postsecondary Educa­tion Council and the Guam De­partment of Education on Octo­ber 3-5, hosted a joint boardman­ship training in Guam, Board of Education officials said.

Year 1987-88. To date, two appli­cants have submitted applica­tions for these two positions, PSS officials said. Not enough room in your own yea rd for yoiur junk cars? No problem - just move them to the

side of the road. This sight was in the heart of Saipan's hotel area. Quite a 'tourist attraction.'

A group of education adminis­trators including the directors of education and principals from Guam, Palau, American Samoa and the Federated States of Micronesia attended this unique and first series of boardmanship training.

Dr. Antonio Yamashita, Execu­tive Director for the Pacific Postsecondary Education Coun­cil, served as the main coordina­tor of this training. Representa­tives from the National Associa­tion of State Boards ofEducation, the U.S. Information Agency and the Department of Education were present and gave an over­view of their programs and how they may relate to the region.

Luncheon and dinner speakers in.eluded the Honorable Judge Cruz and Dr. Peterson of the Western Accreditation Commis­sion for Jr. Colleges.

The Chairman of the CNMI Board of Education, Luis Limes, said that this was a worthwhile effort on the part of the institu­tions involved and that he hopes to see a continuation of this re­gional effort in the years to come. This was the first time ever that the postsecondary institutions and the elementary and secon­dary institutions and boards of education and trustees in the U.S. Pacific affiliated nations joined efforts in providing training.

Through the courtesy of Guam Acting Director of Education, Rosa Palomo, Chairman Limes also met with some of the Guam DOE staff to discuss ways in which a school health counselor could be utilized in the CNMI schools ..

The CNMI Board ofEducation Chairman and themembersofthe Board strongly support the idea of providing nurses in the CNMI schools. As a result of that sup­port, two positions for school nurse were budgeted for School

Artic'e XI I cases in fed court? • • • • From page 40

Hedwig Hofschneider then fol­lowed suit earlier this week, ask­ing for the same thing.

Wednesday a new player en­tered the arena when_ Robert S. }>arish, a mainland attorney for William H. and Patricia Millard, Jerry Crowe, Mary A. Crowe,

Marian Aldan-Pierce and Anto­nio S. Guerrero, filed a similar petition.

All his clients, as well as the Lauretas and Hofschneider, have been sued my clients of Ted Mitchell, alleging that they ac­quired control of the land through

third-party persons which is out­side the Article XII regulations of land ownership.

Parish cites page after page of precedents as to why the federal court system should have juris­diction over the cases, including the allegation that "Section 202

of the Covenant specifically pro­vides that the United States Courts are competent to deter­mine whether the Common­wealth Constitution and subse­quent amendments are consistent with the Covenantand with those provisions of the Constitution,

"Built for the Human Race" "First on Saipan"

etc ..• " For the first time a defendant in

these Article XII cases has raised the specter of the overall constitu­tionality of Article· XII when subjected to focus of the l:Jnited States Constitution.

The 14th Amendment •to the United States Constitution, appli­cable in the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, denies the right of any government to restrict property rights based on national origins, "which on its face implicates Constitutional issues and brings federal laws into play," the Parish petition al­leges.

Mitchell said that while the defendants may want to raise a constitutional issue in the federal courts, he feels that any decision based on Article XII should be heard in the courts of the North­ern Marianas, not a federal court.

He agreed that any subsequent decision made in a federal court could abrogate Article XII's va­lidity, but until that occurs, Mitchell is adamant that the case should be heard in the CNMI courts.

He said that papers are now being drafted to ask the federal court to remand all the cases seek­ing removal back to the Com­monwealth trial court system for trial.

That first tour of duty in Viet Nam did not show the way things were later to be for Guerrero; as his unit was involved in very few fire fights with the enemy. The big buildup for the U.S. was years away, as was Ille corresponding intensification of the communist forces in Vietnam.

in his basic training class and soon was a squad leader. He also saw a bit of how the army can operate when it wants to achieve a goal.

The army was looking for 500 Hawaiians to send to Korea, and Guerrero was soon singled out as a type that could pass as an Hawaiian, so the army quickly naturalized him and off to Korea he went.

"They only gave me the test of asking me to recite the preamble to the Constitution of the United States. In high school we had to do that as a part of our class. So I recited it and I became a U.S. citizen the next day," he said.

For someone who, up until Lhen had only known the warmth of the tropics, Korea was cold and mis­erable; but, Guerrero found some fascination with tl1e snow there. He had never seen the cold and crisp white stuff before, but the fascination VERY soon wore off. The hard task of being a soldier became the routine of the day for the Saipanese soldier.

Yet, that hard task was one Guerrero saw as his duty and when it came time to re-enlist, he 're-upped for another six years.

This time the army decided it wanted Guerrero over in Ger­many to stand in defense of the shaking line which separated the then free world from the inten­tions of the communist of the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub­lics.

So far in his kakki career, Guerrero had been assigned mostly to artillery units which were equipped with weapons ranging from small mortars to the l 05 howitzers. He had also only been into areas where wars had been fought, and uneasy peace declared. But, in the background there was the growing war fires of Viet Nam.

The 1960's were upon Guer­rero and each night on television he could. watch the reports of journalists in VietNam. When the chance presented itself, the S aipanese-' Hawaiian' soldier volunteered for its Special War­fare School, a decision which was bound to take him to Southeast Asia and Vietnam.

Why did Guerrero volunteer? "I al ways felt I was a soldi~r. and

Graduates nurses to help the people of the Commonwealth 1 I

NMC Nursing Program has many boosters in the NMI Ask any nurse, and you'll be

told that her (or his) profession is a lot of hard work but extremely rewarding. Talk with the admin­istrators of Saipan 's Common­wealth Health Center (CHC), and you'll find hearty support for the Nursing Program being offered at the Northern Marianas College (NMC).

Now, with the hiring of its first Director, NMC's Nursing Pro­gram has taken a giant step to­ward providing consistency and stability for a program that offers a challenging - and rewarding -professional opportunity to local residents.

Mrs. Agnes McPhetres, NMC President, announced last week the hiring of Mrs. Florence Cornwell as Nursing Program

Director. Mrs. Cornwell, who has lived on Saipan for four years, holds a Masters degree in Nurs­ing from the University of Wash­ington and a Masters in Educa­tion from Ohio State University. She has been working at the CHC as the Continuing Education In­structor for the hospital's nursing staff. Stating that her "first prior­ity is to make sure the present program is running smoothly," Mrs. Cornwell says she is looking forward to the challenges of her new position.

NMC's Nursing Program was established 1987, and has seen both difficulties and triumphs during its first year. Today, the overwhelming feeling among college and hospital administra­tors, and more significantly

among the nursing students and their instructors, is a sense of progress and strong enthusiasm for the program and a recognition of the need which the program can fulfill.

Luise Quitugua Noisom, mother of four children and one of NMC's second-year nursing students, knows it's what she wants. "It's been difficult," she says, "but my husband and family have been very supportive. This program serves a real need for the

island; it would not have been possible for me to go somewhere else or to the states in order to achieve this goal. It's important for us to get more local people into the running profession, more nurses into the hospital

Follow­ing successful completion of the two-year course of study, student nurses are eligible to take the li­censing examination for Regis­tered Nurse.

According to Jill Cope, in-

life and death is constantly at our fingertips. But our goal is to see all four of our student nurses pass that examinatjon next July."

Support for the college's pro­gram is high. A recently approved Memorandum of Understanding between NMC and the CHC out­lines the responsibilities andobli-

c a ti on a I baseforolherpartsofMicronesia as well."

Another bright light, on the horizon, is the possibility of an ar­rangement betweenNMC and the College of DuPage, in Illinois, which would allow student nurses - and an instructor -from DuPage's highly-regarded nurs-

ing program to use the CHC and the NMC nursing program as a nursing affiliate. Under the pro­posal being considered, student nurses from DuPage would spend pan of their second year on Saipan, working ·side-by-side with NMC student nurses and gaining clinical experience at the CHC. Both college presidents see the proposal as a potential benefit to their respective programs, and are in the process of working out an agreement.

NMC's President believes strongly in the college's nursing program. "People here in the Commonwealth, as well as else­where in Micronesia, are positive about the program" President McPhetres states. "Our Legisla­ture has been very supportive, and of course the cooperation from the CHC has been essential. I think our program has a promis­ing future, and am very apprecia­tive for all the support we are receiving."

The opportunities available to a Registered Nurse are substan­tial; TheCHC employs about 120 nurses on its staff, a significant number of whom must be re­cruited and hired from off island because of the lack of locally­trained and qualified nurses. Off­island recruiting represents a sig­nificant expense to the CHC, compounded by the fact that

"mainland" nurses remain on Saipan for an average of only eighteen months. Recruiting is a continuous cycle. Both the CHC and NMC would like to see more local residents fill the hospital's nursing needs.

As Dr. John Crowley, Director of CHC's Nursing Program and Chainnan of NMC's Nursing Curriculum Committee, states "Because of the expected turn­over rate among CHC's nursing staff, a quality local nursing pro­gram should contribute greatly to ihe continuity and stability of oui local health care. Also, it offers a wonderful opportunity for our local people to enter a challeng­ing and rewarding profession."

Beginning-level salaries lo­cally are in the range of $20,000.00 annually, and that is expected to increase during the next few years as CHC moves closer to mainland salary stan­dards. U.S. salaries are. i. sid­erably higher, and with a na ·on­wide shortage of some 3 ,boo nurses, U.S. hospitals are com­peting heavily for the available pool of RN's.

But the greatest reward seems to be the profession itself. Stu­dent nurse Audrey Peer, summa­rizing her feelings, emphasizes that "nursing isalotofhard work, but if you enjoy interacting with people - and helping people - it's a most rewarding profession."

Because of this, their schools will be awarded.

The amazing pan of the contest was the competitive attitude of the students from one school with regard to other schools. Students worked a lot for their school so that it could be the best. The NEED committee is proud of the participating students for their support in making the recycling program a success.

The fmal tall for the first NEED Recycling Contest, which ran throughout the month of October to celebrate National Energy Awareness month, was 22,556 pounds of aluminum turned in! That's more than 11 tons! Or 586,456 cans. That is an impressive amount of cans collected by our schools.

Prizes will be awarded in each of three categories, depending on the number of students attending the school. In category A (school population between 1 and 199), Saipan Community School came in with a whopping victory of 2,237 pounds, edging out San Antonio School which brought in 1,878 pounds. G.T.

For nearly 20 years, Palau has been seeking a new political and economic arrangement with the United States, which views its location near critical sea lanes as being of strategic importance.

Though marred by passing rain showers Wednesday, elec­tion day was reminiscent of a U.S. county fair. Voters were plied with free food and soft drinks at open-air booths outside key voting slations, and children waved handmade signs on the main road of Koror, Palau's busi­ness and government center.

"It is the livliest and most energized election I've seen," said Uludong.

Study on developmental and other disabilities is underway The Governor's State Planning

Council on Developmental Dis­abilities will be c0nducting a survey of individuals with devel­opmental disabilities. It is part of a National Consumer Survey required by the Developmental Disabilities Act Amendments of 1987. A joint effort of the Na­tional Association of Develop­mental Disabilities Councils, the DD Center of Temple University and the Administration on Devel­opmental Disabilities, the survey

will be a landmark in disability and awareness. Congressional intent for the survey is not only to ascertain the level of satisfaction with services currently received by individuals with developmen­tal disabilities, but also to look at the lives of disabled people in the CNMI and how much independ­e_nce •. productivity and integra­t10n mto the community is re­flected in it.

The Council is asking for help from he community in imple-

menling the survey. We are looking for one hundred people with developmental disabilities who can partici­pate.

The Council have sent let­ters to service providers to assist by submitting names of possible participants. The sur­vey information, except for data, will be kept in strictest confidence. For more infor­mation, please call 234-7869 for Juanita Malone.

Great American Smokeout aims to help kick the habit

The American Cancer Society is once again asking you to join us in celebrating the Great Ameri­can Smokeout, an invitation to millions of Americans to give up smoking on Thursday, November 17th.

This year's campaign focuses on the harsh realities of the dan­gers of smoking. Last year, 320,000 Americans died from the toxic substances in cigarettes.

Cigarettes are aptly described as "a pack of lies". The lies are that smoking is relaxing and glamorous, and that lung cancer "won't happen to me."

Last year, 39. 1 % of the nation's 50 million smokers participated in the Great American Smokeout, a total of 19.I million people: 5.8 million smokers were able to stay off cigarettes for 24 hours, and 3. 7 million were still not smoking one to three days later.

AG wants 'local' judge added to panel .. Fromoage 1

judge was not needed on the panel. This decision was in direct violation of the Constitution and Covenant which mandates that a judge from a CNMI "court of record" MUST sit orfthe panel. · A letter dated October 19 to Hefner signed by CNMIAttomey General Alexandro Castro and David A. Webber, assistant AG for the civil division, said; "This is to request your designation of a part-time judge, pursuant to 1 CMC sec. 3203, for purposes of that judge being designated by the presiding judge of the District Court of the Northern Mariana Islands to be a member of the panel to consider the Agulto ap­peal."

Because of Laureta's literal 'last-minute' recusal of himself from the case, "orderly arrange­ments to assure a three-judge panel were not possible," the communique said.

The letter said that the AG's office did not think it was "too late" for a third judge 'of a court of record OF the Northern Mari­anas Islands,' to participate in the decision-making aspect of the appeal.

But, a snag has also come up in the appeal hearing. No audio or video tape recording was made of the proceedings, the letter said, so a third judge - if appointed by Hefner - could only base their opinions on briefs filed by attor­neys Mary Beth Herald repre­senting Maria Agulto and Jesus C. Borja, representing Villaluz,

et. al, original owners of the prop­erty.

Questions still remain as to the legality of the panel, the letter says, because " .. The virtue of this proposal is that it would eliminate the unfortunate issue of jurisdiction of the two-judge panel," the letter says.

Judge Duenas' decision basing his go-ahead with a two-judge panel by using a Guam case was acknowledged by Webber and Castro in the letter, but " .. that case of course was not decided in the Context of the Covenant re­quirement."

"As a matter of respect for the stature of the Covenant, and for the perception of the people of the Commonwealth,that interpreta­tion of their constitutional re­straint on alienation of land should be determined as much as possible by judges with roots in the Commonwealth ... "

A letter was also sent to Lau­reta infonning him of the Hefner request. That letter outlined what was told the chief judge of the Commonwealth Court, including their disagreement with the im­position of a Guam precedent on Saipan.

"We believe that the panel's determination of this case with only two judges, neitherof w horn is a judge of a court of record in the CNMI is unnecessary and highly undesirable."

Castro and Webber's letter to Laureta said they felt the two­judge panel's decisions in the

Bud Regatta on Nov. 13 Saipan's Over the Reef Yacht

Club hosts its 4th Annual Budweiser Regatta for catama­rans (twin-hulled sailboats) next Sunday, November 13. Races begin at 10:00 a.m. behind the Saipan Beach Hotel - all inter­ested onlookers and sailors are encouraged to come out to watch or participate!

MARPAC has sponsored the race since its inception, providing awards for all race participants and refreshments for both sailors and onlookers.

This year's Bud Classic will feature two or three races (de· pending upon weather and time available) run in the channel of Saipan Lagoon. 16-foot catama­rans will begin competition at 10:00 a.m., running two races before lunch and one race in the afternoon. 14-foot catamarans arc a different class of boat in that they have no jib sail, require only one sailor, and usually resort to different sailing strategy over a given course than the bigger boats.

The 14-footers will compete within a separate division, begin­ning 5 or 10 minutes behind the larger. boats and sailing shorter versions of the same courses.

Beachcombers, sunbathers and would-be sailors are invited to attend the races. Bring a pair of binoculars if you can; the prog­ress of the race may be difficult to track from the shore, but the pa-

rade of sails is always a beautiful distraction for a Sunday after­noon.

Please call Tony Stearns 234-8125 (week) or Bill Sakovich 234-1001 (week) for further in­formation.

case,nomatterwhatit was, "in all probability would be challenged on jurisdictional grounds." The namingofa third 'pro-tern' judge by Hefner would alleviate this potential legal tripwire.

"In addition, the people of the Commonwealth will perceive,

· we fear, that the federal court lacks respect for the provisions of the Covenant. This is a perception which we believe most unfortu­nate and damaging to the rela­tionship between the United

States and the Commonweallh ..

Both men asked Laure ta to join them in requesting that Hefner name a 'pinch-hitter' judge to sit on the appeals panel.

An October 28 letter to Herald and Borja from the AG's office said thatLauretaresponded to his letter by telephone to the attorney general. The correspondence said that Laureta agreed to ask Hefner to name a new judge if the attor­neys agreed.

The problem of finding that third judge to sit on the appeals panel was brought about because every jurist in the Common­wealth Trial Court either has an interest in the case or has recused themselves from it for personal reasons.

Laureta also recused himself . because like Hefner, he is a defen­dant in an Article XII land case. Any decision made in theAgulto case could have a bearing on the cases filed against them.

once the fighting started. Guerrero began to sec what

others in Viet Nam also saw when he made his first body check of the enemy. Despite all the fire directed at the enemy in that first encounter. "I was surprised how few we had hit," said Guerrero.

The enemy was tough and the enemy was smart. Guerrero found out just how smart on April 24, 1967. On that day, only his quick thinking and bravery saved his unit from being wiped out.

They had become surrounded by the enemy near Camp Dong Tre. The following is taken from the army orders which gave Guerrero the Silver Star for his actions at Dong Tre:

"While moving across an open area during the afternoon, his unit was savagely attacked by a nu­merically superior North Viet­namese Army Force. Notified that a hostile clement was at­tempting to maneuver on his flank, he secured a grenade launcher and then moved into the open to fire lethal rounds into the enemy ranks. He remained in the open lo cover his men while they set up a mortar and forced the insurgents to withdraw momen­tarily under a heavy barrage.

"He quickly deployed his men in a defensive perimeter and moved among lhem to treat the casualties. When he was in­formed that five wounded men were trapped outside the perime­ter, he moved through the hail of bullets time after Lime and carried them lo safety.

"After calling for evacuation helicopters, he completely ig­noredhis own safety to move into the open once more and person­ally clear a landing zone. Heed­less of sniper fire flying all around him, he carried the wounded to the aircraft after they arrived and directed the cvacu-ation.

"When the pickup was com­plete, he fought furiously and succeeded in routing the deter­mined hostile forces after it had suffered 40 casualties."

Why? "Like I said, in the army

Volunteers ••. in our

spare time we save lives!

I always volunteered. There was a j9b to be done and it was my job to do it," Guerrero said.

He did his job for three tours in Viet Nam, earning the apprecia­tion of the South Viet Nam gov­ernment for his quick action in helping to save a regular army unit which was trapped in a val­ley. For that action he received the Republic's Cross of Gal­lantry.

Guerrero's unit was behind the communist forces which scaled off a valley which a unit of the South Viet Nam regulars were moving. Guerrero took his unit on a forced early morning march, once he received a call for assis­tance. That action and march by his squad completely surprised the enemy, saving not only the trapped allies, but capturing im­portant enemy documents as well.

He kept doing his duty until he retired from the Army after 20 years. Having joined at only 17, he was a young 3 7 when he left. "I wanted to get out while I was still young," he said.

Guerrero says he thinks about the war now and then, and about his cousin who died in Viet Nam. "He had fought for two years in Korea, but he was in Viet Nam only a month before he was killed." he said.

He also wonders about the pullout of American troops and about the way the war became a point of protest with civilians in the U.S.

As so many others who had done their duty in Viet Nam, there were no parades or ceremonies for Guerrero when he returned to Saipan. Although he was honored by the U.S. and by South Viet Nam, his own land has yet to honor the soldier he was.

"I do not think much about that. I only want now to live in peace," he said.

Perhaps that is best for a man born in a time of war. Knowing it as a boy as it claimed the lives of his parents, and knowing it as a man as it claimed the lives of numerous.. fellow soldiers and friends.

cue budget

Frompage40

In addition to the lack of collec­tions, the other problems which have led to CUC's revenue short­fall arc the high number of unreg­istered hook-ups to its power lines. The too-low flat rate as­sessment for customers is a 'loss leader,' he said.

"We have been giving away power for some time now," he said. Pierce said he saw no "con­spiracy" in the amount of unreg­istered hook-ups, but rather found the problem to be one with many facets.

One of those facets was ex­plained by Sasamoto; "There has been no communications be­tween the field crews and the business office," he said. That has led to hook-ups being made by the line crews which never get reported to the business office, and therefore no billing is made.

Sasamoto added that CUC is beginning to find out many of the unregistered hook-ups and are billing them for the entire time they have been getting power.

While the discussion on the budget was as dismal as the dis­cussion on the metering project, some positive areas were uncov­ered.

Sasamoto said there has been an upward trend in collections with more customers making their payments in a reasonable amount of time. Also, more reve­nues can be expected from the changes being made in flat-rate assessments and in the new across-the-board higher utility rates.

The new rates arc expected to double the amount of money charged for power by CUC per month from around $1 million presently to $2 million when the new rates go into effect.

Sasamoto said public hearings on the new rates will probably be held this month.

Although the CUC budget fig­ures look large, Pierce said the utility needed to find a way to borrow money in order to im­prove its operations within its own infrastructure. And, that money may have to come from the CNMI government.

He explained that most of the money which CUC has been get­ting through appropriations, grants, and under the 7-Year Plan is tied up in capital improvement projects. This doesn't leave enough funding to improve the day-to-day operations of CUC.

~'You need some seed money to give you the infrastructure you need," he said.

Members of the CUC Board and key personnel plan to call another special meeting to work more on the budget and to follow the suggestion of Inos. They will prepare a revenue projection which more realistically portrays the fiscal situation at CUC, and to look for more funding from gov­ernment, as well as private, sources.

Alcohol. • .from page 5 Alcoholics were identified in

the report as those who have lost control of themselves dealing with the drug, and the panel members felt that "for these people, going to jail for three days and attending DUI school is abso­lutely ineffective."

Task force members said that, coupled with the ready availabil­ity of alcohol, are the advertise­ments for the stuff which bom­bard everyone on radio, televi­sion, newspapers, etc. "The ad­vertisements endorse and en­courage drinking by suggesting

The report also said from 1984 through recent 1988, 3,000 traffic accident occurred on the roads of Saipan, costing 22 lives. In 1986 alone, 63 percent of all traffic arrests were alcohol-related, and that percentage zoomed to 74 percent in 1987. Over 90 percent of those arrests resulted in con­viction.

Manibusan said the Depart­ment of Public Safety is "looking into" setting up roving road­blocks on the island to do spot checks of drivers to catch more drunken drivers. He said that there were "constitutional con­siderations imposed by the Su­preme Court which must be fol­lowed" before such action could be taken.

He also said that alcohol abuse on the road in the streets is be­coming epidemic because, "al­though we have had aggressive enforcement of alcohol laws, still a lot of arrests are made for alco­hol-related crimes." Manibusan said the crimes were not just drunk driving, but crimes of vio­lence, such as assault.

"More than 50 percent of the cases brought before the Com­monwealth Trinl Court related to crimes of murder, manslaughter, homicide by vehicle, assault and battery, and even burglary" arc related to alcohol in some way, the report alleges.

Judge Villagomez has some strong opinions on the role of the court. He told members of the media Wednesday during a news conference that the legislature must enact stronger laws to dis­courage the use of alcohol. He also went on record as being adamantly against proposed changes in the law which would provide alternate sentencing to those convicted of DUL

He said that the present threc­day jail term was needed because the prisoners spent two of those days in an extensive program designed to show offenders the dangers of alcohol abuse, espe­cially drunk driving.

He said the law must be given stronger options; "We should not change the law to make it easier on drunk drivers ... "

Those proposed alternate sen­tencing guidelines would allow hours of so-called 'community service' in lieu of actual jail time.

that drinking is good for you, it enhances you image, improves your health, and gives you a happy life," the report says. Young people are impressionable and easily fall for such tempta­tions."

Lawmakers are encouraged by the task force to enact laws in the CNMI banning the advertising of alcohol.

Panel members also urge in the report that closing hours of bars and other establishments serving drinks be more closely regulated and made earlier. So-called 'happy hours' should also be curtailed or illegal in the CNMI, the panel also suggested.

They also urge that the cost of drinking be made very expensive. One way to do this would be to raise the tax on alcohol by 300 percent, with the money going to alcohol education programs - not the the general fund.

"If alcohol is three times the cost of it is now, there may be less people who can afford alcohol and more people will drink re­sponsibly. The same is anaogous with electrical and water con­sumption. As long as it comes cheap, people will abuse it. make people pay for what they con­sume and they will become more responsible," the report suggests.

Dr. Villagomez and Judge Vil­lagomez, as well as It. governor Tenorio, said the report was comprehensive and the some of the suggestions made might be considered as controversial. But, they agreed that that the ball was now in the legislature's court, and it "was now up to them to enact a series of responsible laws to help combat alcohol abuse."

Some of the suggestions in­cluded the 300 percent increase in alcohol taxes, no happy hour, etc. They also suggested the follow­ing measures: ~All schools, both private and

public, include studies of alcohol abuse in their required curricu­lum all the way from the first grade to senior year. Schools should also have poster contests, and other 'fun' ways to sublimi­nally get the message across to the young people.

.../Media be requested to donate space or airtime to alcohol abuse control messages.

'1 Ask all clergy to spend IO minutes a month of sermon time talking about the effects of alco­hol abuse.

'1Placealcoholabuse literature in utility billings on a twice­ycarly basis.

He also said that he would in­vestigate other sentencing crite­ria, including a suggestion made by a reporter. In some Mainland jurisdictions judges are forcing convicted persons to place a sticker proclaiming the fact that they are a "drunk driver" on their vehicles. Villagomez agreed that embarrassment can sometimes be used as a deterrent to a habitual drinking driver.

.../ Declare an 'alcohol abuse awareness week in the Common­wealth and promote different activities in that period.

.../ Enact Jaws making it illegal for anyone to urge someone to

continue drinking when that per­son has said they have had enough. .

..J Make public drunkenness a misdemeanor, and make laws disallowing being drunk as a mitigating factor in sentencing of criminals.

..J Provide adequate and profes­sional alcohol treatment foralco­holics. Although the CNMI has an active Alcoholics Anonymous and like organizations, Dr., Villa­gomez said some people need specialized medical treatment for the disease of alcoholism.

'1 Because alcohol is classified as a drug, the task force urges that the Drug Enforcement task Force be mobilized to enforce alcohol­related laws.

During a question-and-answer press conference Lt. Gov. Ten­orio said he felt suggestions made that stores selling alcohol to minors being forced to close was a "little too harsh, but I feel that employees who sell to minors should be terminated, instead."

Asked how t11ey felt about changing how alcohol is sold, both the It. governor, and judge Villagomez said they had not heard of some ideas offered by the press, including not allowing the sale of alcohol products by retail grocery stores, or the gov­ernment taking control of all liq­uor sales through CNMI-owned facilities strictly for the sale of alcohol products.

Also under consideration is limiting the numberoflicenses to sell alcohol, but that was not made a part of the report.

Tenorio offered his congratula­tions to the task force for a good job, and he will give the 11-pagc document to governor Pedro P. Tenorio, who will in tum present it to the legislature.

The It. governor said he would also recommend to the chief ex­ecutive that the panel be kept in­tact as an 'ad-hoc' committee.

In closing, Tenorio said educa­tion and understanding of alcohol abuse should begin almost from the time of birth. He looked in retrospect how alcohol may be considered as fun, or a joke. "Parents would thinkit was funny that they would put a few drops of alcohol, beer, like that, in their baby's mouth, just to get a reac­tion form the child."

Now, Tenorio said the idea has no humor, and could end in trag­edy for the baby and its family.

FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 4, 1988 - MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS ANDY lEWS -- PAGE 39

Suit filed against Linson ... Frompage40 attorney Bob O'Connor released a letter from the Linson manage­ment which says, in part; "Linson deeply regrets the action filed today on behalf of some of its former employees· for unpaid wages. Linson's employees ap­proached the company on April 30, 1987 and asked that we chnage our salary structure to pay overtime based on piece-rate."

The company said they agreed, and the Chinese government placed it's okay on the arrange­ment. But, the company said it now knows the arrangement was illegal." .. It now appears to have been in violation of the CNMI and U.S,. labor laws. We entered the agreement believing it was lawful," the release said.

O'Connor said the company only secured his services after the suit was filed, and to his best knowledge, had never had an at­torney before to advise them on labor laws of the U.S. and CNMI.

Linson 's letter said they will be making full restitution to the. workers involved, and had fully cooperatyd with the government investigations into the matter.

"We are certain that this prob­lem will never reoccur at our factory and we will do all within our power to be considered by the public as a responsible and hon­orable company."

O'Connor said that his clients have admitted being wrong about the labor laws in the Common-

wealth, but said that Linson en­tered into the 'piece-rate'over­time agreement in good faith, but have now found it was illegal. He also defended his clients by say­ing that the girls hired by the plant basically went out of control. "It was a revolt, plain and simple,' he said.

The attorney produced a type­written letter allegedly composed by several of the supervisors and former supervisors of the plant which also offered profuse apolo­gies to Linson that they could not carry our their responsibilities "because of our Chinese work­ers' work attitude that we are facing now." The letter said that the.productivity is very low and that the girls did not stay at their work stations and also threatened supervisors.

Productivity alleged dropped from completion of 800 pieces per 8-hour day to 100 pieces in the same time period.

"This kind of thing is happen­ing all over the production line. We are embarrassed with such work performance which is not sufficient to cover our daily meals nor our daily pay."

The undersigned then asked that their resignations be ac­cepted.

O'Connor also said of the workers who had asked to be sent back to China and those who were terminated for cause were "given a thousand dollars when they got

on the plane." He also said the company was

willing to try and settle the case out-of-court "any time, and as soon as possible .... "

Plaintiff's attorney Joe Hill was a little amused by the seem­ing willingness of Linson to now settle the matter. "When I talked to them before and offered to arbitrate through labor officials, they told me to go ahead and sue them. I guess they seem surprised that we did just that," he said.

Hill said that he has no idea how much money will eventually be involved, but he said O'Con­nor's claim that the timecards being used to compute work times were rife with wrong times was not necessarily correct. "The supervisors wrote in the times, not the employees themselves."

He said that a good number of employees, not necessarily his clients, were dismissed in whole­sale lots, something that is not correct. He said that once the threats of civil action against Linson were made, the company retaliated against his clients and others by either firing them forth­with or cutting their hours to such a point they could not make a living.

He said that even official Chi­nese government labor represen­tatives threatened the workers, but he expressed admiration for the guts it took for these Chinese women to stand up and file suit.

He also said a new U.S. law which will go into effect around the first month of 1989 will pro­hibit the wholesale firing of employees on whim. That law was enacted to benefit small­town America who;s major in­dustry might suddenly decide to close a plant without notice. While Linson was not technically 'shutting down,' they did essen­tially the same thing by firing almost all the workers and send­ing them back to China, Hill said .

Niizeki Saipan

Regarding the alleged "revolt" O'Connor described, Hill said that the compnay should not have fired everyone for any other employees' alleged work slow down. "Dismiss the one's not. doing the work, not the whole line," he said.

Actions against garment facto­ries will be continued, Hill said. "I will be entering a legal action against the Rota gannent factory soon," he said. He did not reveal the nature of the legal action.

lnos urges conservative attitude, caution

CUC 'balanced budget' !s speculation By Tom Anderson

• Staff Reporter

Neat black-and white figures on paper show a balanced budget for fiscal year 1989 - with even $19,000 left over, and members of the Commonwealth Utility Corporation's board were glad to hear the optimistic news on their

. budget. But, board· member Eloy Inos 'dampened'· the elation when he suggested CUC be "more realistic" in its projected revenues.

Before Inos' suggestion, CUC Board members were told that expenses would be around $23 million for the. 1989 fiscal year; and revenues would be matching tliat figure with some left over.But, the projection for revenues was baseq on 100 per cent collections and full metering of customers in the next fiscal year.

Inos objected to the assumption that CUC's track record on both collections and getting the meters installed should. be a part of the budget proposal.

"I don't think it would be wise for this board to adopt a $23 million revenue budget when we know we will not be collecting $23·million," he said. ·

After some deliberation, the other board members agreea,, and executive director Pete Samamoto and Office and Management Director for CUC, Darrell Pierce, were instructed to draw up a new projection for the revenues. expected. ·

Board members then· passed the expenditure side of the budget with the know ledge that i!S figures were not going to change. ·

The factors which led up to In,os' suggestion were laid

Palau voters turnep out by the dozens on Saipan Wednesday to cast votes for leaders of their home land. Tents, political signs, drinking, an(J good food marked Election day for them. At times, traffic around the Carolinian Utt was very heavy, especially in mid-evening.

Palauans picking ne.w president By AP and staff reports

While hundreds of Palauan voters in the Common­wealth of the Northern Marianas went to the polls Wednes­day, their kin in the home islands pf Palau voted in a: festive presidential election less than three months after the west­ern Pacific archipelago's president committed suicide and three years after his predecessor wa5 assassinated,

The election is of special interest to the United States and other Pacific governmentsbecause of Palau's strategic military importance.

The high number of Carolinian voters on Saipan and the rest of the CNMI are also interested in the outcome because it is home to them. Many Palauans still claim voting rights in the last of the Trust Territories and they took advantage of free food and drink offered at the polling place in Gaiapan. . '

Palauans gathered at the Carolinian Utt all day Wednes­day swapping political stories, meeting friends and above all - casting their votes. .continues on page 24

Lawyers want Article XII cases in fed court By David T. Hughes managing editor

A series of requests for 'removal' were filed in the United States District Courtfor the Northern Marianas this week which, if approved, will wrest decisions about the validity of Article XII land cases from the local courts. Instead of the Commonwealth Tr;iil Court deciding whether cases filed against certain defendants regarding alleged violations of Article XII in land acquisitions, a

the constitutionality of Article XII under U.S. laws. .

out in a presentation made by Pierce as he gave the figures on the way CUC has been operating financially from Oct 1987 to June 1988.

Based on that time period power was being produced by CUC atan average cost of 6.5 cents per kilowatt hour. But, when the number of non-collections are figured in, power, and the number of non-registered hook-ups, CUC is only earning about 2.4 cents per Kilowatt hour in payments.

Working from an average drawn in a studied time period, per month, CUC should have a revenue from power of $1,021 million but only $509,000 is actually billed. Only $378,000 is actually collected, Pierce told the CUC board.

Linson workers take their woes to federal court

By DAVID T. HUGHES managing editor. .

Dozens of Chinese .workers said they grew tired of demanding better wages and living conditions atLinson's (Saipan) and they have now filed suit against the company seeking. back wa'ges, as well as payment for overtime allegedly worked.

The civil action was filed in Federal District Court earlier this week and instead of the one or two usual plaintiffs in such a suit, there were two and one-half pages of persons seeking redress against Linson.

Attorney Joe Hill.said in an interview Thursday that some of the plaintiffs are now back in China, part of the "wholesaie firings" which took place after a recent picket action in front of Linson last month.'

The suit alleges that Linson did not pay workers for the number of hours worked, and they were forced to work overtime and not paid .for it. Hill said "we have not really worked out how much we are talking about in lost wages and overtime, let's just say it's going to be a substantial amount." ·

Workers ask in their suit that the court. award them "liquidated damages" equalling theamountoflost wages, as well, plus attorney fees. ·

The plaintiffs allege that they were hired in the People's Republic of China and they were assured that everyone agreeing to come to Saipan would pe given a three-year work term. Workers were assured that their one year CNMI contracts would be extended and renewed each of the two remaining years. ·

But, workers were fired-en-masse, Hill said, and this violates their contract. They would have never agreed to · come Lo the Commonwealth based on a one-year contract, the suit alleges.

Workers were promised a minimum wage of $2.15 per • hour, plus time and one-half for overtime hours, the suit

alleges. They were also forced to work over 14 hours a day, six days per week, the complaint alleges.

Workers who did not agree to work overtime were fined, according to the papers filed in court, and they also allege that the food they were given, as well as the housing provided, was not to the standard they felt they we're paying for. Included in the allegations were statements that 10 bunks were placed in a small room and the workers were not allowed to have friends or guests visit them in their quarters.

Plaintiffs also allege that Lil)son took, and refused to retu'm the workers personal documents suciJ ·as entry permits, passports, etc.

There is a 'baker's dozen' complaints filed against Linson, but the company has already admitted that they erred in judgement and has asked to be forgiven.

As part of his stat~ment regarding the ·suit, Linson
