Thieves make off with 150 pounds in quartersSaipan police officials are looking for a

‘big-time’pokermachineplayerorplayers . . . or at least someone with some BIG pockets full of quarters -27,200 of them to be specific.

According to Department of Public Safety records someone broke into the Park Avenue Restaurant in Chalan Piao

sometime before 7:35 a.m. Saturday morning, making off with an estimated $6,800 in coins.

Capt. Frank Duenas, spokesman for the DPS, said Monday that someone forced one of the restaurant’s door, damaged the lock and then proceeded to “bust up four poker machines.”

He said the complainant, Jong J. Park, opened up about 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning and found the broken door and destroyed machines.

Duenas said the four poker machines were severely damaged in the burglary and robbery, and also that four “red pockets used to hold the money” were

taken.Mike Naholawaa, manager of the Bank

of Guam in Susupe, said in a telephone interview that he didn’t really have “any idea how much that many quarters would weigh.”

By Dave HughesA decision could be handed

down sometime this week from the Commonwealth Supreme Court whether they are going to grant requests from two ap­pellants for separate “writ of prohibition.” Those writs could order the CNMI Superior Court not to enforce mandates from any court except the CNMI high court.

Specifically, if granted the high court mandate would order the Chief Trial Judge of the Su­perior Court, Robert Hefner, not to proceed or enforce any deci­sions or mandates handed down from the appeals division of the federal district court.

The first appeal was heard Friday morning before Chief Justice Jose Dela Cruz, Associ­ate Justice Jesus Borja and Spe­cial Justice Larry Hillblom.

In that action attorneys for M ariano M endiola, David Wiseman and Lecia Eason, told the high court that if they issued such a writ it would drastically change their client’s status and place him in a situation known in the law as “Manifest injustice.”

Issuance of the writ would also

be a violation of the “due pro­cess (of the law)” laws of both the CNMI and U.S. Constitu­tions.

She also said that if Hefner was given the high court man­date he would be what was known where she came from as “ . . .being between a rock and a hard place.”

A three-judge federal appeals panel decided in April that Mendiola had not received a fair trial in his 1988 murder con­viction. They ordered anew trial, quashing of certain evidence in the case, hearings to determine his mental competence to stand trial and a review of proposed evidence.

The Supreme Court has is­sued several decisions which stated that they have total juris­diction over all appeals pending and filed after May 2,1989, and the Mendiola case was one of those pending.

Judge Hefner has been pro­ceeding with tasks ordered by the appeals panel because he said that unless he received a writ of prohibition from the high court, he was going to honor the deci­sion of the appeals division.

That appeals court decision changed Mendiola’s class from that of a convicted felon to an accused murderer, Eason argued before the court.

Attorneys also have an appeal pending in the Supreme Court and Hillblom asked what would happen if they agreed to expedite the entertainment of that appeal before them - thus negating the need to follow the appeals panel mandate.

Eason said that would still be unacceptable to the best interests of her client because it would be a change in status before justice. He would be back where he started - a convicted murderer asking for anew trial.

Status quo now is that he is like anyone else accused of a crime - innocent until proven guilty.

Lots of questions were askedSee Page 4

FmHA has one-percent loans availableBy Dave HughesDespite the fact that the Mariana Islands Housing

Authority and the Farmers Home Administration have been ‘disagreeing’ on deadbeat home loans, FmHa still has money to lend prospective homeowners - some of it at one percent interest.

Joe Pangelinan, local director of the FmHA said in a recent interview that most home loans in the CNMI are about 9.75 Dercent at simple interest

That works out to be around $8.47 cents per thousand over 33 years in payments he said.

He said at one time the interest rate was over 13 percent.

But, the federal government has a series of programs which allow low-to-moderate income persons to be able to buy a home.

Cabrera receives yet another continuanceA combination of factors has resulted in yet another

delay in the sentencing of Frances C. Cabrera, former CUC comptroller who is accused of stealing over $80,000 in 1988 from that agency.

J udge Marty Taylor gran ted defense attorney William Fitzgerald’s request to continue the hearing on July 2 because he wanted a full time period to cross-examine public auditor Scott Tan, and to also introduce witness testimony to rebut Tan’s allegations of how much money was actually taken by Cabrera.

Fitzgerald’s said he could not begin the cross-ex­amination and continue it Monday because he had to be

elsewhere n Monday in another case.Original plans called for Cabrera to be sentenced

Friday, including determination of how much restitution she would be required to pay - if any, and imposition of any prison time.

Cabrera was originally scheduled to appear at 9 a.m., but because of a heavy small-claims court caseload Taylor wasn’t able to hear the case until well past 10 a.m. Then, prosecutor Craig Platt spent about 20 minutes asking Tan his qualifications and experience in accounting and setting up how theoriginal audit was done which first found small amounts of money missing, then lots of

money.Testimony did not begin again until almost 3 p.m.

because of other cases that were heard on an emergency basis by Taylor - forcing a further delay. Shortly before 4 p.m. Taylor announced the continuance, and although he technically agreed to it, Platt said he was “very unhappy about it.”

He said the case had dragged on far too long and it was time to get the matter settled.

Support new advisorsThe selection of Jose C. Tenorio to chair the Governor’s

Council of Economic Advisors couldn’t have been better news. In the Commonwealth, anytime anyone thinks of the word 'business’ the first name which springs to mind is that of Joeten himself.

He echoes the public policies of the governor and It. governor that foreign investors should join with local people if they want to be a part of the CNMI’s future, and we also agree. If steps are not taken in the next year or so, the local ’ownership’ of property and business could be lost by the sheer number of foreign investors flooding into the _ommonwealth.

The task of this advisory committee should be taken quite seriously by the government and by the body itself. While it is an honor to be named by the governor, there is also an implied responsibility to produce well though- out reports and suggestions that should be gibe the weight they deserve by officials.

Joeten said that the Commonwealth should not become " . . . just another Japanese town,” and we agree. However, it's going to take the leadership and advice of successful businessmen like himself and others to stop the slide we have taken in that direction.

It’s also going to take the enactment of laws and regulations by the legislature and the zoning commis­sion to stop the'Tokyo-ization’’ of Saipan. It should never be allowed to start on Tinian or Rota.

Saipan is rapidly losing its local identity and charm under the crushing weight of American-style ‘strip malls,’ Japan-styled restaurants and shops, and Ko­rean mom-and-pop stores.

More and more signs are written in non-legal languages of the Commonwealth, adding further to the 'Asian- ation’ of Saipan.

Joeten said that tourists want to travel so they can see "something different. ’’ But, as the months roll by, all they will see between the ideograms on gaudy billboards is a glance or two of the water.

The commercialization of the tourism industry by foreign investors from Japan and Korea has to be more-tightly regulated, including what THEIR idea of a store or shop should be.

Instead of tiie multi-story glass-front businesses with giant signs screaming their business name and wares in a foreign language which are out-of-place here, low, 'island style’ structures should be mandated with small, tasteful signs.

We would also like to see input from the GCEA on the proposed Foreign Investment Act now languishing in the legislature.

Kudos to the governor for the creation of the council to bring the best minds in the CNMI business commu­nity together.

Looming on the Horizon

Education crisis in MicronesiaBy H arvey G. Segal C C M P ro fessor

of EducationReprinted from COM Chronicle

A critical teacher shortage is anticipated in the islands of the former United States Trust Ter­ritory, but the situation differs from the U.S.

In the U.S. a decline in edu­cation majors js attributed to a population decline in the col­lege-aged group. In Micronesia, a bulging child population in­crease continues while educa­tion monies decrease according to the impact agreement with the United States, and a bewil­dering array of opportunities are available w hich siphon away those young M icrone- sians who m ight otherwise choose a teaching career.

In conjunction, large num­bers of elem entary school teachers, hired in the 1960s and early 70s, will begin to retire in the next few years.

At the secondary level, the teacher shortage has already be­gun. A plan to hire any college graduate returning from U.S. to replace A m erican contract teachers who did the teaching in the 1960s and 70s is bankrupt because most of the returning M icronesians were not trained to teach. Secondary education scholarships have not been a priority.

The result is many non-pro­fessional high school teachers who do not feel satisfied with

their jobs and leave them at the first opportunity.

The Community College of Micronesia, which has led the way in training elem entary school teachers, has not en­larged its facilities and enroll­ment in 15 years, while the opportunities for its AS degree graduates have multiplied.

The young graduates, around 60 each year, are now able to

select from U.S. military as well as Hawaiian, Guamanian and American mainland univer­sities because Micronesians us­ing Pell Grants and other U.S. college financial aid plans are recruited to do so. This would be fine if a new teacher corps was being PREPARED< but THIS isn't the case. There is little encouragement to go into teaching.

M any, perhaps m ost, o f these young Micronesians who leave will not return to M i­cronesia as work force. They are eligible to work in the U.S. and are doing so. Salaries in M icronesia, and especially teaching salaries, are low and not competitive.

Japanese tourism in M i­cronesia is on the horizon. Soon the private sector will be competing for the few available graduates also. There are solu­tions of course, but the require action and money:

Raise teacher salaries to a competitive level.

Enlarge CCM facilities and staff to accommodate more stu­dents.

Begin education clubs and pre-college education courses at the high school level.

Have the CCM education program enlarged to begin pre- service teacher training as a post-secondary program in each state. (This has begun in the Republic of the Marshall Is­lands.)

Provide scholarships for teacher education at all levels.

Control the student/teacher ratio at both elementary and secondary levels to allow the best teaching available and not let large numbers discourage potential teachers.

Encourage, perhaps insist, that each of the main religious groups active in M icronesia build and staff a high school.

Appoint a Dean of Continu­ing Education, located at CCM, with the responsibility and budget to develop and staff the states' post secondary teacher education to AS degree level and beyond.

Raise the teacher certification level to a year beyond the AS degree with a minimum num­ber of education credits required and with a recognized pay level.

Coordinate a public relations program for parents and high school students encouraging awareness of the job opportuni­ties in teaching in Micronesia.

If MPLC cannot give me the 929, then let me LEASE IT TOO FOR 12 CENTS A M ETER, THE SAME PRICE SHIMIZU IS GOING TO LEASE OUR PUBLIC LAND.

Dear Editor

Quite frankly som ething smells fishy regarding the Shimizu project or land deal of

two million square meters of public land for that company to lease. There are too many local people that wish to lease pub­lic land for their use but they are denies most of the time. I for one have never heard of any news on my planned shrimp farm on public land.It is almost unheard of in the

real estate market that such a deal could be struck by Shimizu and our government leaders. I wonder how many government official and other VIP's will get a lifetime golf membership when Shimizu ever gets that 2,000,000 square meters of public land. Legislators, wake up and pro­

tect up. Protect your people. Do not bend to corporations

APIL measure asks easy travel rulesFollowing close on a recent

legislation introduced in the CNMI legislature which would 'track ' aliens o f all types, in c lu d in g th o s e fro m Micronesia, who come to the Commonwealth for whatever reason, the Association of Pacific Island Legislatures has passed a resolution calling for relaxation of such rules.

The measure was originally in tro d u ced in the House because several CNMI officials had been hassled at Palau's airport. They were forced to undergo a H'-of questioning, told they "couldn't work here," and other what they perceived to be indignities.

In re ta lia tion for w hat lawmakers perceived at that time to be a discriminatory attitude toward CNMI citizens, the House passed legislation requiring registration and other legal steps for those entering the CNMI not NMI or U.S. citizens.

In the past there had been a quasi-official understanding that residents of Micronesia were allow ed unrestricted travel wilhin the area.

Following the CNMI action

the president o f Palau's senate and the p residen t o f that republic sent a message saying that they were sorry about the whole thing and a resolution had been m ade in their legislature to allow free travel between Micronesian islands - including the CNMI.

However, speaker Pedro R. Guerrero ?aid at that time that a resolution had no force of law, and the measure would proceed.

Now, the APIL, with Guam Senator Hermina Dierking as p resid en t, has passed a re so lu tio n o f its own e n c o u ra g in g th e "free immigration" between island members.

Their resolution says " . . this privilege of immigration necessarily implies the right to pu rsue a; liv lihood e ither th ro u g h em p lo y m en t o r through conduct o f business..

Because of what legislators say is a concern for safety, businesses which deal in cater­ing to scuba divers will be af­fected if House Bill 7-149 passes the Senate and is signed by the governor.

Under this measure proposed by Rep. Thomas Villagomez their license fees would be raised to $100 and would re­quire all divers to be certified under specifically-identified in­ternational diving association rules.

With the exception of nar­rowly-defined rules regulating learning dives, anyone else wanting to engage in the sport wilhin the CNMI would have to have what is known as a "C- Card" from either the YMCA, NASDS, PADI, NAU1, or other govcrnmcntally-rccog- nized agency.

All employees of businesses who sell underwater tours (not submarine) using scuba equip­ment and who go underwater with customers as guides or as­sistants would have to be certi­fied.

This proposed law also ap­plies to fishing companies which employ divers.

Anyone convicted of allow­ing non-certified divers into the water as employees or cus­

tomers could have their busi­ness licenses revoked for a pe­riod of up to two years under the proposed bill.

Those businesses who lease or rent equipment or sell com­pressed air to divers who have their own equipment face simi­lar penalties if they do not make sure their customers are certified.

All such businesses must also carry liability insurance under the proposed bill.

Rules are toughened regard­ing "instructor" under the bill, including the stipulation that the manager, instructor or per­son in charge of any underwater lour operation or scuba diving instruction business or com­m ercial fish ing operation which uses scuba divers, must possess a "certified instructor's" certificate.

Assistants must meet speci­fications and have a certifica­tion to act in that capacity, un­der the proposed House bill.

S tudents participating in learning courses are exempted so long as they are in the phys­ical presence of a certified in­structor.

Fines for violations could range as high as $2,000 in ad­dition to loss of business li­cense, and possible imprison­ment of up to five years.

GOLF COURSE PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME:1) OUR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD DEMAND FROM MPLC AN EXPLANATION

WHY THE 6C PER SQUARE METER PER YEAR OFFER FROM SHIMIZU WAS AGREED SOME SIX MONTHS AGO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PUBUC CONCERN. ALSO, OUR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD DEMAND WHY THE129 PER SQUARE METER PER YEAR FOR THE SAME LAND WAS AGREED. OBVIOUSLY, THE PUBUC IS BEING "FOOTBALLED." AND THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY IS CLEARLY NOT IN THE PUBUC INTEREST.

2) OUR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD DEMAND FROM MPLC WHY THE NEED TO ENTERTAIN FORMALLY A PROPOSAL OF THIS MAGNITUDE FROM ONLY ONE PROPOSER. IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT PUBUC INTEREST?OUR SURVEYS OF MANY PUBUC SERVANTS INDICATE THAT THERE IS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO APPROACH THE SITUATION. WE BEUEVE THAT OUR PEOPLE DESERVE THE BEST EFFORTS FROM OUR PUBUC LEADERS.

3) OUR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD ASK MPLC WHETHER DOING THE ABOVE ARE WHAT WE CALLED "WORKING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR PUBUC." PERHAPS A PUBUC FORUM WITH MPLC SHOULD BE IN ORDER.

4) ON THE BASIS OF ABOVE, OUR POLITICAL LEADERS SHOULD INSTEAD RETURN THE SHIMIZU PROPOSAL TO MPLC WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS TO INSURE THAT THE PUBUC IS NEVER AGAIN BE A SUBJECT OF "PASS" FOOTBALL

High court debatingcontinued from p ag e 1

Lots of questions were asked about ju st who had the ulti­mate jurisdiction in appeals, and whether the federal appeals court has the right to issue de­cisions and mandates.

Hillblom asked assistant at­torney general Ron Hammett, who asked for the writ against the Superior Court, if he felt the U.S. Supreme Court was the ultimate end point for all cases in the United States, in­cluding the CNMI.

When Hammett answered in the affirmative, Hillblom said it was his opinion that no such

arrangement was agreed to in the Covenant, nor was the ap­peals process actually defined in that agreement

The only certainty is that under agreements made with the United States in Covenant negotiations, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals would have the authority to review deci­sions of the NMI high court for 15 years.

Hammett was asked if the reason for his request was an "attack" on the judgement of the appeals court; but, the as­sistant attorney said "no," he was questioning their right to interfere in the justice system of the CNMI after the Judicial Reorganization Act created the Supreme Court.

Eason was asked about spe­cial wording in the documents t h a t c r e a t e d th e Com m onw ealths o f Puerto R ico and th e V irg inIslands,which related to appeals in those islands. No such word­ing is in the documents setting up the CNMI.

That verbiage sets ultimate jurisdiction as being federal, but Eason said that the lack of such la n g u a g e in th eC om m onw ealth's form ation was "not deliberate."

Silence on appeals matters doesn't mean the U.S. was giv­ing up its authority, she said.

Dear Editor

Without much ado, I wouldn't spend precious little o f my time to respond to Mr. Felipe W. Atalig's letter supporting the Shimizu Project. However, let us clear the air once and for all.

W e all know that Shimizu built those hotels A talig al­leged were a "gift" to the econ­omy of the CNMI. Didn't he know (him being the construc­tion business) that nothing is built for free? Small wonder his construction company flip flopped. Nothing surprises me any more if Felipe is in some dealing and wheeling for dol­lars.

Another thing that Atalig amazes me with is the fact he claim ed Shim izu 's proposal was so grand. I doubt little of his claim because I know he is cutting a deal or is in the pro­cess o f cutting a deal with Shimizu's P.R. team to do the labor recruitment for the com- pany-from dishwashers to car­penters to the golf attendants. But what little do we have to wonder if Felip says som e­th ing ...anyth ing is god if Filipe has something in it for him. One irony I must point out is the fact Felipe refuses an offer to have his land leased in Obyan for $1.00 PER METER PER MONTH. And here he is supporting Shimizu's lease of 12 CENTS PER METER PER YEAR. This certainly tell you what kind o f being is Felipe. No private citizen is willing to cut a deal the way our govern­ment leaders are cutting this sweet cheek and tongue La Bamba Bamba deal!

Japanese man found drownedBy Dave HughesA holiday on Saipan for one

Japanese man ended sometime in the wee hours o f Friday morning when he was found floating face-down in the lan­guid waters of Smiling Cove marina.

Capt. Francisco Duenas, public information officer for the D epartm ent o f Public Safety said M onday that Hiroyuka Otsuka. 34 of Japan was declared dead by the medi­cal examiner at 6:54 a.m., but there didn't appear to be any signs of foul play on the body.

Duenas said that there were no puncture wounds on the body,or any outward sign the man had been attacked.

According to police reports the dead man was last seen alive leaving the Dai-ichi Hotel about 1 a.m . that morning. Duenas said nothing was

Key left on table; ¥500,000 stolen

In an attempt to be a good 'host, plus being a little absent- minded, one Japanese busi­nessman found that entertain­ing can be very expensive . . about ¥500,000 worth.

Capt. Frank Duenas, public information officer for the De­partment of Public Safety on Saipan, said Monday that Hi- roki Koizuma, 59, told police Saturday that someone took that amount of money, plus another S70 in U.S. currency and credit cards from a safe de­posit box located in his Hyatt Regency hotel room.

According to police informa­tion the man placed valuables in the safe, but accidentally left the safe key ion a table while entertaining eight persons iden­tified as his employees. Duenas said they were drinking and ran out of alcohol about 10 a.m. Friday evening.

The host left for a few min­utes leaving three people in the room. Once he returned from his trip buying more booze and chocolates from Duly Free Shoppers, the room was empty.

He then went to bed and dis­covered the missing money and other material the next morn­ing. Duenas said the ¥500,000 is worth about S3,000 U.S..

The victim told police that he was leaving Saipan Sunday and did so, leaving the status of the theft open.

known as to why the man left the hotel at such an hour, but that he was alone.

The corpse was examined by police technicians at the scene and Duenas said they found "some money" on the body, but he had no identification. Police then started combing the hotels and tour agencies in an attempt to find out who the man was and why he was at Smiling Cove.

Initially they were unsuc­cessful, but Duenas said that later in the day someone from an unidentified tour agency called police and reported a missing client.

Two of the missing man’s friends were contacted and they

later made positive identifica­tio n o f the body at C o m m o n w e a lth H e a lth Center's morgue.

The DPS spokesman had no information on whether the dead man was able to swim.

Police are still investigating the incident, Duenas said.

He asked that if anyone saw a Japanese man wearing a greytee-shirt with the words "L.A. Dodgers" written upon it and wearing Levis blue jeans be­tween Smiling Cove and the hotel after 1 a.m. Friday morn­ing to please contact police.

Duenas said he had no idea how long the man had been dead when found by a fisher­man at the marina.

TUESDAY, JUNE 26,1990-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS- 11

FmHA has one-percent continued from p ag e 1

around $508 - at 9.75 percent interest, he said. But those who qualify for one-percent loans would pay only 2.97 per $1,000 in cost for a payment of only $178.20 for the same home on a 33-year loan.

Pangelinan said there is a sliding scale o f how these low- cost loans are determined, and the upper-income limits are be­tween $10,000 and $16,000 per year or more, based on the number of persons in a family.

He said each case would have to be determined on an individ­ual basis, but he felt a good number of wage-eamers in the Commonwealth could qualify.

These special low interest loans range upwards from one percent to normal market rates, Pangelinan said, but the key factor is that a family may not have a significant amount of assets.

He said the federal govern­ment does not count things like a single vehicle, furniture or other reasonable personal property as 'assets,' but land - or the shared interest in land is considered as an asset whether or not the land is sold or in the process of being sold.

"Families may not have more than S7.500 in net family

. assets," Pangelinan said.This limit applies to those

persons under 62 years of age, he said.

Those over 62 may have S 10,000 in net family assets.

Because many Saipan fami­lies are large, he said it could

Cops seek crooks with lots of quarters.continued from p ag e 1

the Bank of Guam executive said he figured that a S10 roll of quarters would weigh about four ounces or a quartcr-pound.

"I guess those quarters would have weighed about 150 pounds," more or less, he said.

Naholawaa said he would alert his employees to be on the lookout for anyone coming in with a wheelbarrow load of the coins.

Assistant attorney general John Cool said in a telephone interview Monday afternoon that the law regulating poker and gaming machines in the CNMI was specific. It limits them to 200 per senatorial dis­trict;

He said that as he under­stands Public Law 5-3 a poker machine may be repaired, but not replaced. Cool said the law prohibits the transfer of li­censes from a broken machine to a working one.

be quite complicated to figure what 'net family assets' consti­tute,' he said.

Cash in the bank is most definitely counted as a family asset, he said, and "if I catch you wearing a $50,000 dia­mond I would say, 'hey . . . come on.'"

Equity in a family business is also counted, but if the business is the source of fam­ily livelihood, exceptions can be made, he said.

At the end o f each year FmHA will evaluate each low income loan to see if they con­tinue to qualify, he said. If the family income has gone up then the interest rate is raised.

Pangelinan said the program has helped a lot of people get 'into homes at Koblerville, and a lot of others are eligible if they ask.

But, those interested in se­curing these type loans should make sure they don't have un­sold or leased property in

which they have an interest. Pangelinan said this is usually the biggest disqualifier for the cheap loans.

He also said homestead prop­erty owners should be aware that FmHA can not lend money to build homes on land that does not have the required infrastructure.

Pangelinan said it was an FmHA regulation and there was nothing he could do about it. However, if a home is built or in the process of being built and it infrastructure is built, the agency might be able to lend money on it.

Finally, Pangelinan said a recent article in which he was quoted as saying that the homes MIHA has built at Sugar King II were not "worth" the possible $80,000-plus ask­ing price is incorrect.

"What I said was that we can’t lend that much money on the houses. They are 'worth' what the market price is."

M t . Carmel students honored by U.S. Arm y

¡nos speaker for July 2 chamber meeting at Aqua

Senate President Joseph Inos will be the guest speaker for the Monday, July 2 meeting of the Saipan C ham ber of Commerce.

He will discuss and answer questions on the impact and regulation of foreign invest­ment within the Common­wealth of the Northern Mariana

Islands.The scheduled monthly meet­

ing of the Chamber will be held at Aqua Resort Club at noon and officers of the organi­zation said they encourage all members to attend.

Guests are also welcome to attend Chamber general meet­ings.

Two Mt. Carm el High School students were part of 13 winners of U.S. Army Reserve Scholar/Athlete Awards, ac­cording to a recent press re­lease.

Everly Pangelinan and Magdelina Diaz of Mt. Carmel won the award for Saipan, the release said, and is only awarded to those students "who have shown outstanding ability in both academics and athlet­ics."

They were given an engraved bronze medallion and certificate honoring their commitment to excellence, the press release said.

Last year teachers, coaches and administrators from more than 11,200 high schools across the nation chose 20,000 students for the honor - more than even before, the release said.

The Army has presented the awards for nine years and the press release said the honor has become a strong tradition in most schools.

A fact sheet accompanying the news release said that the awards were presented at honored occasions at schools, including special assemblies and graduations.

Since the program began in 1981 the number of schools participating has grown from 505 to 11,500.

In the nine-years of the award's life more than 120,000 students have been honored, ac­cording to the release.

Yet another delay in Cabrera trialcontinued from page 1testim ony,defense atto rney Fitzgerald made veiled threats that if things didn’t go to suit him, that he might advise his client to withdraw her "Alford Plea," which in not a full plea of guilty, but carries the same weight.

The plea was entered, he s a id , to sa v e the. Commonwealth Jfrom having to introduce hundreds of thou­sands of individual transactions into court, but he felt the pros­ecution's assertion that his client stole the entire $83,000 as alleged by the prosecution was preposterous.

Fitzgerald said that "most of the money is still in the people

who wrote the check's pocket

Platt said it wasn't the peo­ple who wrote the checks to CUC's loss in the first place - no matter what happened to the checks. He said it was CUC who is the victim - not them. It didn't matter what happened to the checks, he said, because CUC never received payment included in those checks.

Tan's testimony revealed that slightly over $83,000 was stolen from CUC during the period Cabrera was employed at CUC. Of that total the public auditor's office estimated that $63,000 was in actual cash and- and around $20,000 in checks of various amounts.

Asked how the public audi­tor's office knew to check into Cabrera’s accountings at CUC, Tan testified that he received a "tip" from Guam within a fed­eral office there that she had been arrested and charged on Guam with the same type of offense.

He said they did a more thor­ough check on her resume and found that the college she said that she graduated from never heard of her and her accounting credentials were also boaus.

Cabrera also listed member­ship in a Guam community serv ice c lub , but when C om m onw ealth o ff ic ia ls checked on her membership,

Taylor said that he should render a verdict on restitution and any other punishment be­fore the July 4 holiday.
