Serving the CNMI for 18 years 500Fire Destroys Family Home In Chalan Kiya

by Patty Jacobs

Fire broke out in a sleeping baby's bedroom and quickly engulfed the Jack Duenas home in Chalan Kiya Thursday morn­ing, according to Maria Duenas. The call came in at 9:44 a.m., according to Fire Inspector Jack Camacho. Mrs. Duenas said her daughter calledher from aneigh- bor's house and said the house was on fire. She said she told people in the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC) office where she works to call theFire Department. She imme­diately wenthome then, she said.

While the cause of the fire is unknown and is under investiga­tion, faulty wiring may be the cause, Camacho said.

The family maid discovered smoke coming from under the door to Joanie Duenas’ bedroom, where she was taking a nap. Joanie, 16 months old is the youngest of the Duenas children. Both her brother Ernesto, 6, and sister Jill, 15, as well as the maid and Joanie escaped the fire with­out injury.

Camacho said there were no firefighters injured in the inci­dent. The house was a total loss, according to Camacho. He said

the fire spread quickly and may have engulfed the house in only 10 minutes because it was con­structed with wood ceilings.

, "When the ceilings are made of non-fire retardant material, the superheated air gets trapped above thfc. ceiling and the fire races throughout the whole house very rapidly," he said.

Camacho said two fire sup­pression units responded with 20 fire fighting personnel in­volved. According to Camacho, the dwelling was about 15 years old.

Jack Duenas had only left the residence about 10 minutes when the fire broke out, according to Mrs. Duenas. They own a farm

in Talafofo and are building a house on the property.

According to Mrs. Duenas, the new house is unfinished and not ready for occupancy. She said, "I don't know what we're going to do now. Everything we owned was burned up."

Congressman Discusses Issues Facing Belauby Fermín Meriang

The following is a sum­mary of a recent interview with Bela« Congressman Hidco Tell about some of the major problems affect­ing his government. Tell was recently re-elected to his second term in the House of Delegates, rep­resenting his home state of Airai.

Tell was on Saipan as a rep-resentative of his gov­ernment to the Inaugural ceremony of Air Mike Ex-

, press and its maiden flight to Kota.

The recent drag busts in Palau involving former gov­ernment officials and a son of a prominent businessman by Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)agcntsarefar from settled.

According to Tell, the investi­gation's still continuing in an effort to bring to justice even higher officials and leaders of the alleged drug ring. "The people who were arrested and brought to Guam were not nec­essarily the king pms of (he operation and DEA officials believe that some of those ar­rested and jailed will be able to provide the necessary informa­tion for the agency to arrest the real leaders of the operation," Tell said.

Tell said that DEA had known for some time that Palau was a "haven” for drags from South­east Asia. The drags would enter Palau on its way to distribution points in Guam, Hawaii and finally the U. S. Mainland.

Tell further said that in 1986, the government of Palau had requested an investigation by the United Statcsintothcdrugprob-

lcm$ of the Republic. "Large quantifies o f contraband were being transported Lhrough Palau andthegovemmentbelicved that some businessmen, and govern­ment officials were involved. That prompted the request for the investigation," Tell added.

The negotiations were con­ducted at the same time the government asked Ron DcLugo of theSubcommitteeonRegional Affairs from the Department of Interior and Insular Affairs of the House of Representatives to have the General Accounting Office (GAO) perform an audit on government finances. While the negotiations were underway, DcLugo’s office became con­vinced that there was enough evidence to makearrests regard­ing drug trafficking in Palau.

"When the attests were made, it was with the intention that those arrests be used as "step­

ping stones" togctto the "bigger fish" in the organization," Tell explained.

On another subject, Tell said that the President of Palau and the Palau Congress (Olbiil Era Kelulau), is currently working on plans to hold another Com­pact approval plebiscite some­time before June 30, ,1990.

Tell said the President Ngi- ratkel Etpison initially wanted tohold elections on the proposed Compact of Free Association with the United States of Amer­ica on September 25 of this year but relented on the advise of the Congress.

According to Tell, the reasons for the delay are to give the members of the Political Status Commission sufficient time to educate the votersof Palau about the pros and cons of the pro­posed Compact.

Tell also said thatgovernment

lcadcrsand the general elec­torate need time to work out their differences before another election is possible.

"Because it has only been seven months since the last general election, there arc still differences in opinions' among the voters and the leaders need time to be more unificdbefore tbenext plebiscite/ Tell said,

"Palau cannot afford to reject another plebiscite on the proposed Compact. We are running out of time and resources," he said.

He said that if the voters reject the next plebiscite, which must receive a 75% approval as required by the Constitution, it wouldopcn the door for further nego­tiations with lhe UnitedStates but then it would take

FORUM: A MEETING PLACE FOR OUR OPINIONS AND YOURS

EDITORIALCUC Is In Business, At Last

When the Comm onwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC) began placing ads in the Variety warning it's customers that it was going to disconnect customers who refused to pay the ir delinquint bills, they began to to act like a business.

No business can stay alive very long unless it makes a profit. New businesses struggle to get the right balance of cash flow to support their operating expenses and have money to invest in capital improvements. CUC has had the same struggle.

Although it went from being an arm of the government to private enterprise, the transition has not been smooth. From lost records, to non-existant records, to falsified records, the CUC has barely been able to keep afloat.

The management has been criticized for not being decisive enough or being too hasty in its decisions. Personnel from the executive director down to the men working in the power plant have been brought to task for jobs not done or done wrong, or for rude and incompetent office workers.

Yet CUC has not given up. The press has kept the spotlight on CUC so that every blemish is magnified for all to see. CUC has made horrible m istakes and everyone knows about them, because of the press coverage. But CUC continues to improve and it continues to monitor itself.

The m embersofthe Board of Directors have taken a lot of criticism fortheirseem ing "lack of action" from both the press and the government. But they have consistently looked for ways to improve CUC and have not hidden behind excuses for the gross mismanagement which has characterized the corporation sometimes.

They have survived all the criticism, the allegations of graft, the apparent crim inal embezzling of thousands of dollars, the unknown or disappearing inventory and CUChas begun to correctthese things.

By deciding to collect on the ir past due accounts, CUC has made a declaration to make money - or least stop losing the vast sums they have in the past.

LMA,Synergy and the Guerrero Brothers and other subcontractors to CUC may have hindered the utility as much as they have helped, but they have been available and they have worked with CUC to improve the overall picture.

Last month, CUC announced that it was finally able to pay its workers out of the its own collections. Maybe this is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Certainly there is no otherm ore exasperating entity as far as the general public is concerned. They are headed in the right direction,though. Gaining fiscal responsibility and showing that the bills are being paid is proof that CUC is working on becoming self- sufficient.

The Public School System will open its doors on the 28th of this month. I am not worried about traffic congestion as much as an alarming phenomenon that 85 per cent of our high school graduates (private and public) have not been able to pass the Army entrance tests. It's actu­ally a computational and Eng­lish literacy test.

This issue is everybody's business. Our success in self- government depends, to a large degree, on the professional de­velopment of our people. This development begins athomc and our educational institutions. Perhaps the Board of Education ought to spend more time ad­dressing substantive issues such as this one rather than school uniforms.

In short, the beard and management ought to work jointly on upgrading the quality of education in our public schools. Such inconsequential issucsas school uniforms should be deleted from the board's agenda. Perhaps clarity of under­standing relative to the essence of quality and relevant educa­tion need to be turned into the daily bread of educational poli­cymakers and management. Be that as it may, I am optimistic that something is being done to resolve this matter.

Most of us, especially local commercial farmers, were look-

ing forward to what we call in Chamorro "primct agua" or the first rainfall of the rainy season. I am afraid that our exasperation has been dampened by three weeks of wet weather. It's been too wet for basically anything except repealing a dreadful ne­cessity of cat and sleep or watch­ing some lousy program on the tube.

When the weather didn't allow your humble scribe to chase that little white ball that spoils everything with a single error in one hole, I headed for the grocery store and bought some soup bones because rainy days simply call for soup of some sort. I suppose the geographical location of our islands leaves us with too little or too much of everything. Crazy, huh? What­ever the case may be, it still avery beautiful isle in the Pacific.

you're the first one to receive sun radiation. It's a dilemma every which way you turn!

Letters to the EditorThis is a letter to Sen. Juan N.

Babaula from Rep. Gabriel Babauia.

Dear C hairm an Babaula:I have just learned that the

Senate in its most recent session held last week amended House Bill No. 6-183 which would have required the passing of a teach­ers competency test for all pro­spective non-resident teachers before they can teach in the CNMI Public School System.

I regret that your committee and members of the Senate failed to sec the merit of a competency tcstingrcquircmcntasaprcrcqui- sitc for teaching in the CNMI. Mr. Chairman, as an educator yourself, you should be fully aware of the significance of such a test in helping our Public School System as well as the College to screen out prospective candi­dates who don't have the neces­sary skills to teach. The Senate's action in striking out the compe­tency testing rcquire-ment would not only encourage the rccruit- mcntof unqualified teachers but would also take away the only means available to our school system in screening out candi­dates who would likely to be­come problem teachers or sim-

pl y don't have the necessary skills to teach.

The testing requirement is not a new concept. Many individual states in the United Slates now mandate the use of a compe­tency test as a prerequisite to teacher certification or qualifi­cation. The tests may vary in scope, but their basic purpose is the same to screen out candi­dates who would become prob­lem teachers.

We (the house committee on HEW) selected the "BESTE" test development by DOE Guam specifically because it was de­signed mainly for teachers in the Pacific area and is available to the PSS for the asking. Accord­ingly, the use of the "BESTE" test would save the PSS money in not having to develop a simi­lar test as substitute.

Another unfortunate change by the Senate was to exclude the Northern Marianas College from the requirements of PL 6-28 and the alternative of the "BESTE" test. The College is the institu­tion charged with the responsi­bility of providing thorough instruction in advanced courses in order to prepare our youth for life. It is therefore imperative

Air Mike Express Debuts New Service To Rota, Guamby Patty JacobsThe Commonwealth Port

Authority (CPA), the Marianas Visitors Bureau (MVB), the CNMI government and the government of Guam, along with a new subsidiary o f Cdntinental Air M icronesia (CAM) named "Air Mike Express" initiated a historic airline service to Rota and Guam Tuesday.

Through the efforts of many people in the C o n tin e n ta l organization and the Pacific Basin Development Council (PBDC), with subsidy from the Essential Air Service (EAS), Air Mike Express debuted with three r i b b o n c u t t i n g ceremonies.

Early Tuesday mo r n i n g dignitaries met at the Saipan Commuter Terminal which has just been opened last week. James Nelson, the Master of Ceremonies for the day and CAM One Pass M arketing Manager, introduced Bishop Tomas Camacho, Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio, Jose Tenorio and President of CAM Paul Casey.

Gov. Tenorio said, "We, here in the CNMI, asked for essential air service to Rota. I have a message from Gov. Waihee of Hawaii, who is the President of the Pacific Basin Development Council."

Tenorio then read th e message from Waihcc which stated that it has been a lot of hard work to get the U.S. government subsidy necessary for the EAS to support the Saipan-Rota-Guam air route. He stated that the EAS law had

tc be changed in, order to be adapted for the Pacific.

Carolyn Imamura, Director of Planning and Programs for PBDC, explained, "The EAS law was written in such a way that it was not possible for Pacific island communities to comply. For instance, the law read that it was necessary to provide limousine service between airports. That just isn't realistic for Pacific islands."

Waihee's message said that the EAS law also made it virtually impossible for a subsidy proposal to be selected over a non-subsidy proposal.

Senate President Benjamin T. Manglona said, "This new air service will give the island the opportunity to develop now. Over the years our economy has suffered due to unreliable air transportation.

"Thanks to various federal officials Air Mike express has been fortunate enough to receive a federal subsidy to guarantee essential, air service to Rota," he added

Jose Tenorio (Joeten) said, "This joint venture is very significant. The failure of air service to Rota has been the causer of the lack of growth. Rota's only source of life is air service. Now Rota will have air service three times a day to Guam and twice a day to Saipan." Joeten is a partner in a joint venture with CAM.

CAM President Casey said, "Air Mike Express is the result of two years of hard work by Don Beck, the Pacific region

The airplane is a twin turboprop Fairchild F-27. The engines are manufactured by Rolls Royce; it seats 35 passengers, has a galley and lap trays and has a pressurized cabin, according to Continental A irlines M arketing and Government Affairs Manager Tom Goresch. The planes are about 20 years old. Another F- 27 exactly like the first arrived the next day.

Joe Barnes, CAM Regional D irector for Guam and Micronesia said the planes came from the Continental commuter subsidiary Britt Airways. Britt serves the Cleveland hub. The planes, because of their limited fuel capacity were flown from

Barnes said the interiors of the planes were refurbished in Guam and new seats were put in the planes there.

After the ribbon cutting ceremony in Saipan, and refreshments, the dignitaries went aboard the plane, just as the rain came down in torrents. The flight to Rota was bumpy, due to the weather but a smooth landing in Rota and sunshine in the skies greeted the passengers.

Rota M ayor P rudcncio Manglona greeted the guests and said that air service had always been touch-and-go. "We're so glad now we have Air Mike Express who say they will touch-and-stay," hesaid.

He explained that in 1968 Contincnial had started service to Rota and was reliable when they were there. However, as Rota had never really geared up

for the jet age, the runway at the airport was too short to accommodate Continental's new planes.

The Mayor said the people of ' Rota embarked on a vigorous remodeling and lengthening of the runway so Continental would return. By the time the refurbishing was finished Continental no longer had the flight franchise for Rota.

He said Rota went through a series of airlines and always, they were left with no reliable service. He said they were really happy to have Air Mike Express come to Rota.

A fter speeches by Gov. Tenorio, Senate P resident Manglona,. Joeten, Casey and the Mayor, the ribbon cutting c e re m o n y w as h e ld , refreshments were served and the gusts embarked on the next leg of the inaugural flight.

The flight, again was bumpy as the plane came into Guam in the middle of a rain storm. Each passenger was given an umbrella to carry from the airplane cabin to the airport. The reception took place in the Hafa Adai Lounge, where lunch was served. At the boarding gate , Casey and Guam Gov. Joseph Ada greeted the travelers and welcomed the new airline. After the ribbon cutting ce r emony , the CNM I delegation boarded the plane for the flight back to Saipan.

Later that evening , the inaugural dinner was held in the departure lounge of the Saipan International Airport. Once again, Casey, Gov. Tenorio and Joeten addressed the group, each one thanking all those who helped put together the new airline and service for Rota.

"Failure to accept the terms of the Compact will not en­hance negotiations," Tell said.

And finally Tell said that there is a realization within the Con­gress that the government needs to be reduced. Some depart­ments will be merged with others and powers consolidated to decrease government expen­ditures.

"The Senate has passed a reorganization bill that is cur­rently being heard in a public hearing that will reorganize and restructure the government," Tell reported.

He also said that a U. S. study firm has received a grant to study the restructuring of the government. A report is ex­pected at the end of the month which willrecommendaltema- tives for the best possible gov­ernment for the people of Palau, according to Tell.

by Dan PhillipsThe old Japanese tank along

Beach Road is getting a restorative facelift, thanks to the efforts of the Marianas Visitor's Bureau (MVB).

Today, the tank takes a beating not from enemy fire but from the elements of nature. It is this beating that prompts the MVB to have the tank restored about every three years, according to Delfin San Juan,, who has been hired by MVB to restore the tank.

San Juan, who has painted tanks and other war equipment for many years now, says this tank is a 1935 model. He will be painting it in the traditional Japanese colors, instead of in U.S. camouflage style. .

The tank is cleaned up, and then a red rust-proof coating is applied before the painting is done. This work is done every year, according to the MVB. This tank is not the only monument to receive annual maintenance, as relics in

Marpi, San Jose, and on Suicide Cliff also receive attention.

U.S. ProtestsSoviet Union Tests Missiles Anyway

HONOLULU (AP) - The Soviet Union has canceled further missile tests near Hawaii at least for now, the U.S. P ac if ic Command confirmed Tuesday.

The Soviets cut short their announcd 10-day test by five days after firing one missile last week.

The test prompted two direct U.S. appeals to the Soviet Union and an outcry from State leaders, including Gov. John Waihee.

Waihee said he would continue working w ith Congress and the White House to stop the Soviets from using the ocean around Hawaii as a target area.

The Soviet Union launched a single, unarmed missile Friday that flew high above . the channel between the Northern Hawaiian Islands of Nicker and Nihor on its way to the target zone about 1,200 miles south of Hawaii, U.S. officials said.

According to the Defense Department, the test missile flew 8,000 miles f r o m Tyuratam the southeastern Soviet Union.

"Apparently the Soviet Union has decided to cease further testing of its missiles near the Hawaiian Islands at least for now and for now that is good news," Waihee said.

"The tests should never have been conducted in the first place and it is disturbing that the Soviets went ahead despite protests from the United States," Waihee said.

Pokers Petitioners Need 565 Signatures in 5 Days

by Dan PhillipsThe "Basta I Poker" petitions

that Rep. David Sablan and a group of dedicated volunteers have been trying so hard to put on the ballot in N ovem ber have come up 565 signatures short after a review by the Attorney General's Office.

A ttorney G eneral E d M anibusan m ade t h e announcement in a letter Wednesday evening, saying that the petitioners h a v e fulfilled the' requirement of obtaining signatures from 25 percent of the registeredivoters in each of the three Senatorial D istricts (Saipan, Rota, Tinian), but· that there were not enough signatures to fulfill the requirement that there must at least 50 percent of the r e g i s t e r e d v o t e r s Commonwealth-wide.

Copies of the letter were sent to Sablan, V i c e - S p e a k e r Benigno M. Sablan, Bisljpp Tomas A. Camacho and Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio.

The petitioners now have until Monday at 4:30 p.m. to

.gather enough signatures to make up the shortage. Sablan said that h is g roup , anticipating that a shortage was possible, continued to gather signatures while the AG was putting the already-submitted

p e titio n s th rough t h e certification process,. Manibusan said that the

petitions had well over the number of signatures needed to fulfill the requirement of 50 p e r c e n t o f t h e Commonwealth's registered voters, but that his office de­certified approximately 800 signatures.

The AG's Office ha'd been reviewing the petitions since they were submitted on July 27. The long counting process revealed that the petitioners had gathered 20 more signatures than they needed in Tinian and Aguiguan, where most of the island's leaders are pro­gambling. The AG's Office determined that a total of 142 signatures wera needed, and certified 162.

In < Rota, a total of 226 .signatures were certified, 26 more than required. There were 3,212 signatures certified from Saipan and the Northern Islands, well over the required 1,742.

However, the total of 3,601 . certified signatures from the entire CNMI fell short of the 4,166 figure set by the AG's Office as being,50 percent of the registered voters in the CNMI. The AG's Office

Audit Says Palau's Power Plant Losing Millions of DollarsBy Howard Graves

Honolulu (AP) -T h e Palau government has taken nearly S2.5.million from 175 meager treasury to keep a controversial power plant operating for about 2,000 customers, according to a U.S. Department of Interior Audit.

The government, also has failed to utilize a 6-million-· gall'on fuel storage, facility which a British contractor promised could bring upward of $1 million from the resale of fuel.. In a July 31 report, Harold Bloom, DOI A s s i s t a n t

, Inspector General, attributed the shortfall between operating revenues and operating costs to unrealistically low electricity rates, failure to enforce bill .payment, meter and bill for all power consumed and failure to sell fuel from the storage facility.

His report to Palau President Ngiratkel Etpisori, who took office last January, also blamed ■the Western Pacific Island chain's financial wpes to the borrowing of $32.5 mill ion from a group of British banks to build the power plant and fuel storage facility.

A year ago, a U.S. District Court in New York City found Palau in default on the loans, with accrued interest, Palau owes more than $44 million·.

B loom sa id Pa l au ' s

government had been warned in. 1983 by the DOI Inspector General's office mot to obtain the loans without conducting an economic feasibility study to ensure sufficient revenues could be generated to cover const ruct ion costs a n d repayment of the loans.

Bloom said the government had failed to respond to the audit's conc lus ions and ' recommendations. He gave the Etpison administration until Oct.'6 to respond.

For fiscal year 1987, the power plant and fuel storage facility had $1 million in net losses and in fiscal 1988 losses of at’least $1.4 million.

Bloom said the losses might be even higher because expense reports didn't include all power plant expenses.' He said the audit was performed between May 1987 and January 1989.

He said the actual demand for electricity a n d . fuel was far below levels projected by the British .contractor, IPSECO. IPSECO declared bankruptcy a year ago:

Also high on Camacho’s priorities in upgrading his department is to 'have better' trained, officers. "We are looking in areas where the department is lacking expertise and looking to send qualified officers overseas for better training," he said.

The department intends to hire more officers for the grow ing , needs of the Commonwealth, according to Camacho. ■

M1HA Starts Plans To Develop Garapan Landby Dan PhillipsThe Manana Islands Housing

A uthority (MIHA), w i t h legislative approval in .hand, takes the first step today in

. seek in g c o iri.m e r c i a 1 development for a valuable piece of property in Garapan.

MIHA Executive Director John M. Sablan announced yesterday that MIHA would start to publicly seek bids through a Request for Proposal today. MIHA has put together a comprehensive bid package that includes a copy of Public Law 6-34, which gives MIHA the clearance, with certain conditions, to lease the land to commercial developer in order to help the financially-troubled agency bail i tse lf . out of financial obligations t hat Sablan estimates to be $15-20 million. .

MIHA's primary creditor is the C o m m o n w e a l t h Development A u t h o r i t y (CDA), to whom MIHA owes about S10 million, Sablan said. He said that most of the other obligations arc to banks, including Bank of Guam.

Sablan says residents of the 45 low-ineome housing units currently on the property will not be displaced, and that no development on the property will be started until all of. thc- residcnis are relocated.·

He said that a new location, in the Koblcrville area, for"45

new Section-8 housing units has tentatively been agreed upon with the Marianas Public Land Corporation (M PLC). According to Sablan, some of the older residents will likely be relocated to an area closer to the hospital.

the development opportunity throughout the CNMI, as well as in Japan and maybe Hong Kong. ' .

An informational meeting for prospective developers is scheduled to be held at the MIHA office· on August 29 at

MIHA E xecu tive Director John Sablan

He said that the Koblcrville housing project, which will probably cost at ’ least S 2 million, could bc u n d c f construction by the end of the year. ■

9 a.m.Although the commercial

development of the. Garapan. property- should ensure that, MIHA can' fulfill its financial obligations, and then some, Sablan says MIHA is very much concerned about Lhc

quality of the development as well. "We want a first-class development, a -resort or tourist-related establishment that is aesthetically beautiful," he said.

He said that income generated from the development should not only allow MIHA to take care o f its financial pbligations, but also to help provide infrastructure needs to other housing projects.

An. appraiser from Hawaii has already arrived at an estim ated value, for the property., known as North Garapan Annex No. 2 Subdivision, but Sablan said MIHA will not disclose that figure because doing so would "jeopardize MIHA's negotiating

. position." Sablan did say, however, that he.would like to get S30-50 million for the property.

MIHA will enter into a 55- year lease with the developer. Public Law 6-34 requires that the lease payment be made in cash up-front to MIHA.

In addition, the law requires that the developer will provide

• continued payments to MIHA, computed as "a percentage of the gross revenues derived from· the subject property by the developer, any subleases, or

' any successor in interest."The law also requires, the

developer to provide for the

projects infrastructure or pay an ■ im pact, fee to the

."appropriate agency . or department of the CNMI government."

W hichever developer is chosen will also be responsible for providing MIHA wi th 5,000 feet of office space and a parking lot for the duration of the lease. The. office would be a little bigger than the current ope, and the parking lot Would include 24 parking stalls.

MIHA, as provided.for by Public Law 6-34, will incur no financial obligation "other than normal·and necessary costs of administering the lease."

T he U .S . m ilita ry ow ns occupies property for four o f the five possib le locations on both islands. N o site has been se lec ted ye t fo r T in ian or Guam, according to Sakaguchi, but the M ayor o f T inian has requested that only the north field location be considered.

T h e p ro p o sed D EIS is a docum ent three inches th ick w hich is com prised of th re e sections. Section I addresses the overall program which is the po ten tia l in sta lla tio n o f three RO TH R system s in the W estern Pacific.

T he customers who received the d isconnect no tices now have 15 calendar days from the day the notices were delivered to settle their bill or to request a Customer Conference. If they have not contacted CUC within those 15 days CUC will issue a second "courtesy" disconnect n o tice , and 24 hours later, disconnect the customers from the power lines.

T hey w ill be charged a $130.00 re-connect fee, and w ill have to pay a security deposit in addition to paying o ff the balance due on their accounts before CUC will re­connect their power.

Leaky Toilets Cost Money, CUC Shows How To Fix Themby Ruth Ttghe

CU C - L eak ing toilets can w aste a s m uch as 10,000 to 20 ,000 g a llo n s · o f w ater a m onth, and can cost consumers a lm o s t $ 1 0 .0 0 to n e a r l y $25.00 a m onth in added water costs.

M ost to ilet leaks are caused by a p rob lem in e ither the flush valve, which controls the flow o f w ater from the toilet w ater storage tank to the toilet itself, o r w ith the float valve m echanism , which controls the flow o f w ate r in to the to ile t water storage tank.

W hen the problem is in the flush valve, the sto rage tank does not refill, and more w ater c o n s ta n tly flow s in to the storage tank to try and fill it. It m ay be tha t the flush valve d id n ’t re tu rn to its p roper position , and therefore didn 't seal the tank. Som etim es a ll that is needed is to jigg le the handle to ge t the valve to seat properly. O ther tim es, it m ay be necessary to untangle the chain that hooks to the valve.

I f the flush valve is worn or broken, a replacem ent can be purchased fo r less than $2.50 in lo ca l h ard w are s to r e s . R em oving the old flush valve and replacing it with a new one ju s t requ ires un-hooking the chain, and attaching the new valve to i t Replacing a broken chain is also inexpensive and sim ple to do.

I f the problem is in the float valve, w ater w ill continue to flow in to the overflow p ipe, even after the ,sto rage tank is full. U sually this problem can be corrected by bending the rod to which the float is attached a little b it more. That will lower the float and shut o ff the water sooner.

I f the float doesn 't com e up to float on top o f the water, the shu t-off valve may be stuck . Som etim es this can be solved

by gently lifting the float up and down. I f that doesn't solve the problem , the float valve s h u t- o f f m e ch a n ism w ill probably need to be replaced.

T h e re p la c e m e n t is n o t difficult, nor is it expensive. M ost hardw are stores have to ile t rep a ir k its , includ ing replacements for the float valve m ech an ism , fo r less than $11 .00 .

T he firs t step is to turn o ff the w ater to the to ile t .water

storage tank, w hich is usually controlled by a shut o ff valve located underneath the tank.

The only tool required to do the replacement is an adjustable wrench, or a pair o f pliers that open wide enough to fit around th e n u ts th a t h o ld th e

mechanism in place.T he coupling nut and the

locknu t should be rem oved firs t. N ow the en tire f lo a t assem bly can be removed from the tank. B efore pu tting the rep lacem en t in p lace , i t is

by Patty Jacobs

In a House session W ednes­day, the legislators am ended slightly the building code bill (H.B. 6-26 Supp. 6-1) and passed the m easure unanimously.

T he Com m ittee on Natural Resources, headed by Rep. Juan Reyes, presented the bill after receiving input from the various sectors o f the public who ex­pressed interestin thebill.R eyes said, "This is the m ost important b ill to face the legislature now."

Recently, the Federal Em er­gency M anagem ent Agency (FEM A) told members o f the CNMI legislature that they could not assist the CNM I with em er­gency measure unlessacode was in place.

T he Board o f Professional L icensing Chairman Dick Cody said, "I've been holding my breath waiting for this bill to pass. W e need it so much in the CNMI."

Cody had been consulted for his opinion on the proposed bill by the House subcommittee.

The CNM I Contractors had also been approached by the subcommittee and former Con­tractors Association President John W ilson headed an ati hoc committee which reviewed the codeandm adewrittencom ments to Reyes and the subcommittee with their recommendations.

The version presented to the members of theHousecontained most o f the suggestions o f the reviewers

T he floor amendment con­cerned the section of the pro­posed code dealing with the is­suance o f free building permits

for ow ner built, owner occupied dwellings.

The code language was vague, according to several rep­resentatives, about who would beeligible to receive afree build­ing perm it when the restriction stated in the code referred to "no mord than one free perm it may be issued to the sam e person or the same family...."

The concern was that adult children living under the same roof as the parents could not qualify fo ra free perm it because they w ere members o f the same family, for instance who may have already been issued a free permit.

The am endment stated that "individual children who no longer reside (or no longer in­tend to reside) with the original family shall be eligible for their own ow ner-builder permit."

Rep. M ariano Bermudes was concerned that the building in­spector m ight impose the use of construction materials that are not available on Saipan.

Rep. D avid Sablan replied, "W e m ust make sure safety is first. I w ant to know that the materials that are being used in my house will not be inferior, to protect my family."

The am endm ent was unani-

mously adopted and the amended building code w as passed bythe House. The bill now goes to the Senate.

In other action, the House passed House Joint Resolution 6-16w hichisentitled , "AHouse Joint Resolution to create a spe­cial com m ittee to review labor and im m igration laws and to recommend necessary revisions to the Legislature."

The "short exchange" House Senate JointResolution 6-23 was brought to the floor. Lively debate ensued with Bermudes abstaining on the vote because o f "conflict o f interest." How­ever, the m easure received a passing vote by the members o f the House.

The A lien W orkers Amend­ment concerning the formation o f a task force to look at all labor laws concerning alien workers was discussed. However, the only section o f the measure offi­cially considered by the House was the Senate amendment re­quiring one m em ber o f the task force be selected from Rota and one from Tinian and that the task force bring back its recommen­dations within 120 days o f for­mation. The measure easily passed in the House.

Dear Mr. President:

P ursuan t to Section VII (a) of th e Dem ocratic P arty 's By-Laws on S chedu le on Transitional Matters,I hereby subm it my declaration of intent to run a s a cand ida te fo r th e office of the H ouse of R ep resen ta tives in Election Precin t li (C halan K anoa and S usupe). Further, I hereby s ta te that I have m et all th e requirem ents and qualifications p rescribed u nder S ec tions 3(c) and (d) of ArticleII of th e CNMI Constitution for a cand ida te fo r th e office of rep resen tative.

I believe my candidacy would offerthe com m onw ealth a com petent and hard working representative. I fu rther believe tha t my experience a s A irport/Seaport M anagem ent Intern; Instructor, CNMI C ollege; Superin tendent, Mobil Oil M icronesia Inc.; Public School T eacher; and serv ice in th e U nited S ta te s Marine C orps, have p rep are m e for responsible position in governm ent. As a rep resen tative, I would be able to im plem ent my ideas on is su es and solutions to problem s affecting our C om m onw ealth. T he CNMI m ust align its priorities with th e n e e d s of th e peop le of the C om m onw ealth . W e m ust identify w hat is important, w hat is less im portant and w hat w e should not b e doing at ail. I think if we can identify th e last point first, th e o ther objectives should fall in line relatively easy . I do not beleive that with $82,900,100.00 budget, th e C om m onw ealth canno t at least fix its roads, and deliver uniterrupted serv ices for pow er and w ater if priorities are put in perspective. $82 ,900 ,100 .00 is a lot of m oney. If w e laid end-to -end this am ount in $1 .00 bills it would reach from o n e e n d of the island and back 562 tim es.

T he C om m onw ealth despera te ly n eed s to regain its s e n s e of priorities ifwe a re to ach ieve any kind of p rog ress. It is beyond my com prehension how our governm ent with $82 ,900 ,100 .00 budget accom plishes so little at an ever-increasing co s t to th e people.

Government of the Commonwealth of the NorthernMariana IslandsOffice of the GovernorSaipan, MP 96950 Tel.: 322-5091

TO ALL INTERESTED AGENCIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS:

On or about September 4, 1989, the Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern M ariana Islands will request the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to release Federal funds under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (PL 93-383) for the following project:

Project :

Puipose

Location :

Federal Funds:

Dandan Water Improvement Project

Construction of approximately 7,000 linear feet of 12-inch diameter water main Dandan, Saipan Island, CNMI Census E.D. No. 23 Federal Community Develop­ment Block Grant will finance approximately 33 percent of $500,000 of the total cost of the project.

It has been determined that such request for release of funds will not constitute an ac tio n significantly affecting the quality of the human environrtient and, accordingly, the above-nam ed jurisdiction has decided not to prepare an Environ­mental Impact Statement under the National Environ­mental Policy Act of 1969 (PL 91-190).

The reasons for such decision not to prepare such Statement are as follows: (1) the scale of the proposed project is not considered a major Federal action that would require an assessment, in accordance with ΝΕΡΑ, and (b) the activity is consistent with all applicable Federal and local e n v iro n m e n ta l regulations.

An Environmental Review Record respecting the within project has been made by the above-named jurisdiction which documents the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. This Environmental Review Record is on file at the Mariana Islands Housing Authority Central Office in

Garapan, Saipan, and is available for public examination and copying upon request between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of Federal funds.

All interested agencies, groups and persons . disagreeing with this decision are invited to submit written comments for consideration by the Govern­ment of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to the Mariana Islands Housing Authority, P.O. Box 514, Saipan, MP 96950. Such written comments should be received at the address specified in the preceding sentence on or before September 2, 1989. All such comments so received will be considered and the G overnm ent of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands will not request the release of Federal funds or take any administrative action on the within project prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence.

The Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands will undertake the project described above with Block Grant funds from HUD under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is certifying to HUD that the Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Governor, Pedro P. Tenorio, in his official capacity as Governor of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, consent to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to. enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental reviews, decision making and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval the Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands may use the Block Grant funds and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Protection Act of 1969. HUD will accept an objection to its approval of the release of funds and acceptance of the certification only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) that the certification was not in fact executed by the certifying officer or other officer of the applicant approved by HUD; or (b) that applicant's Environmental Review Record for the project indicates omission of a required decision, finding or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may be addressed to HUD at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Honolulu Area Office, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, Hawaii 96850. .

NHTSA Investigates Complaints Of Nissan DefectsBy JOHN FLESHER The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Federal engineers have stepped up their investigation of complaints that up to 1.5 million Nissan cars manufactured between 1982 and 1984 have a dangerous seating defect, tbei '

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had received 96

nts of the cars’ seat backs \ backward suddenly and without

warning.The agency considers the allegations

serious enough to upgrade a prelimin­ary evaluation into an engineering analysis, said spokesman Tim Hurd. The change means engineers will study actual seat backs to determine whether

they are defective, as opposed to just paperwork analysis.

The Nissan action was among several announced by the agency that included new or upgraded investigations of mod­els sold under the nameplates of Ford, Mercury, Peugeot, Toyota, Hyundai, BMW, Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac .

“We’ve had large recalls of other cars for seat-back failures," Hurd said of the Nissan action. “It’s a hazard. You can lose control of your car if the seat back suddenly fails.”

Complaints to NHTSA have blamed 22 accidents and 13 injuries on the alleged defect, he said.

The agency’s engineers are examin­ing these Nissan models manufactured during the 1982, 1983 and 1984 model

years: Maxima, Pulsar, Sentra, Stanza, 200SX, 300ZX. 510 and 720.

Nissan spokesman Don Spetner said in Los Angeles the company was re­viewing the agency decision and would have no immediate comment.

NHTSA also launched an investiga­tion of 1987 and 1988 Ford Escorts and Mercury Lynxes following 13 com­plaints that their safety belts had failed.

Also, NHTSA granted a petition re­questing an engineering analysis of the 1989 Peugeot Model 405. Six complaints have been filed about malfunctions of the passive restraint system in 2,200 cars, Hurd said.

T h e agency a lso re p o r te d opening p re lim in a ry in v es tig a tio n s of:

• Stabilizer bar breakage in 400,000

Toyota Tercels from model years 1982 through 1988.

• Passive restraint system problems in the 1987 Hyundai Excel.

• Rear-belt failure in the 1989 Ford Festiva.

• Brake dragging and locking in 30,000 BMW models - the 325, 524TD, 528E and 5351 from the-1985 through 1987 model years.

• Parking cable wearing in several 1985-1987 General Motors cars — the Chevrolet Monte Carol, the Pontiac Grand Prix, the Oldsmobile Cutlass and the Buick Regal.

that our college students are taught by qualified instructors. The practical effect o f House Bill 6-183, as amended by the Senate,is to require greater quali­fications for teachers in our e le­mentary and high schools than for instructors a t the College. I cannot believe that this was the intended result of the Senate amendments.

-This is an elective year Mr. Chairman and I hope that your action and the actions of the other members o f the Senate is not politically motivated. I would rather see that the school delay its opening for two or three months and get the satisfaction o f knowing that our children get the best possible teachers they can obtain, than to be re-elected and compromise the educational welfare of our children.

The replacem ent unit should then be put in place, and the coupling nut and locknut put in place and tightened.

T he next step is to reinsert the rod and float.

Before turning the water back on, the small refill tube from th e f lo a t valve m echanism should be inserted back into the overflow pipe.

The last step is to adjust the floa t so that the float valve

Values of Corals

The International Union for Conservation of Na­ture and Natural Resources (IUCN), has identi­fied coral reefs as "one of the essential ecologi­cal processes and life-support systems, neces­sary for food productions, health and other as­pects of hum an survival and sustainable devel­opm ent." Ip short, coral reefs provide us with !he following:

1) F ish N urseries: habitat for juvenile fish, m ollu scs and crustaceans;

2) Coastline Protection: against storm surges and tsunamis;

3) Erosion Prevention: through the forma­tion of sandy beaches, sheltered harbors;

4) Resource Material: as coral sand used in building and road construction;

5) M edicinal Components: used to produce anti-microbial, anti-leukemic, and anti-tu­mor bio-compounds;

6) Economic Opportunities: in places dis­posed to fostering ecpnomic development through tourism;

7) Recreation: the value of aesthetic appeal, and activities such as scuba diving and underw ater photography.
