The bad news, reports DEQ Chief Russell Mecham, is that the level of PCBs found in samples sent to Guam's EPA of- fice is considerable high. "The federal action level is 50 parts per'million. In six of the 11 samples from here it was re- ported they contained over 5,000 parts per million," said Mecham.

Editorial Unity Must Prevail Among Democrats

The first get-together party held by one team of the gubernatorial candidates from the Democratic Party drew a healthy crowd last Saturday evening at the Carolinian Utt in Garapan.

Sen. Herman R. Guerrero and Congressman Manny C. Sablan , vying for the Governor and Lt. Governor respectively, are the first to hold a political activity in preparation to attract voters and support for the upcoming Democratic Party Convention slated for April.

Two more Democrat teams have declared their candidacy for the gubernatorial race. One is former Chairman of the Democratic Party Tony S. Guerrero and his running mate Congressman Benigno (Pacho) Sablan and Froilan C. Tenorio, CNMI Wash­ington Representative and his running mate former Congressman Victor B. Hocog from Rota.

At the party, well-known, long time Democrats showed up for Guerrero-Sablan evening event, with dinner and drink served while traditional dancers performed and music was played. Some observers estimated the crowd to be close to 1,000 well wishers. However, there were also some Rep's. were at the party.

The Democratic Party this year has three major splits amon0 its members, each of which supports one of the three teams. The winner at the upcoming convention will have to work hard to bring unity among the democrats, according to party observers.

PSS Board Member Tomokane Upset Over School Principals Action

Dear Editor: As a member of the Board of

Education, I feel that the public should be well infonned of what the Board is doing as much as possible. Therefore, in view of the recent publicity that the media has put up with regard to the action of the public school principals at our last Board meet­ing, and in view of the fact that a_ memberofthemediaentertained obvious actions of the principals and not the underlying events leading to their action, I wish to take this opportunity to inform the public of the incidence at our meeting as I see it.

Clarification must be made with the statements made by one principal who was interviewed by the media that the Board failed to consult with them or entertain their concerns. The "15 points" presented by the principals were in fact transmitted to the Policy Review Committee October of last year. The Policy Review Committee's function is to pro­vide input from representatives from the schools, admini<;tration and the parents on the Board i;Olicics to conform with the re­cent! y passed education law, P.L. 6-10. Mr. Tom Pangelinan as well as four other principals are members of this Committee. The Commissioner either did not in­form theprincipalsoftheBoard's recommendation to present the Committee with the principals' 15 points so that they may be incorporated in the overall Board Policy or he may have delegated this task to another body. Either way, I am deeply concerned that the channel of communication between the Commissioner and the principals need to be im­proved with respect to Board recommendations and direc­tives. If the 15 points were of some importance to the Commis­sioner, I question why they were not immediately entertained by him in the past since those con­cerns were obviously present then. I also question why the principals presented these con­cerns directly to the Board when the expected protocol of channel­ing issue through the Commis­sioner has been frequently brought up by the Commissioner

himself. As for the function chart, the

Board entertained the principals' concerns at their September 1988 meeting with the Commis­sioner present at the meeting. Oral as well as written presenta­tions were made. The Board adopted a functional chart which was not acceptable to the princi-. pals. The Board is aware that there will be policies and actions taken by them which will not be pleasing to every one in the sys­tem. Theprincipalsareviewedas instructional leaders and must be concerned especially with the educational progress of our stu­dents. Too often, principals ex­hibit thorough knowledge on the administrative system while there are indications that not much details is obvious with regards to our children's aca­demic progress or the conditions of instruction in our schools.

The principals also have made obvious to the Board the matter of retaining the present Commis­sioner. I feel that this is time spent by. the principals on mat­ters that _concern the Board's obligation to abide Ly the exist­ing law which requires the Com­missioner to have at least a mas­ters degree. lam curious as to the consuming involvement of the principals on this issue and whether they share the belief that professional qualifications on the part of all our educators is important. The Board has passed a policy that teachers must pos­sess at least a BA in order to teach in the system. I am also con­cerned that some principals seems to disregard the mandate of the law.

Other issues such as the middle school concept, gradu­ation requirements and matter of credits earned at Hopwood are more appropriately the responsi­bility of our present administra­tor, the Commissioner, to present to the Board. As a member of the Board, I am ready to share my thoughts on these issues once our Commissioner prepares the ap­propriate fonnat in policy fonns for the Board's action. To date, these still need the review and endorsement of the Commis­sioner. These events inadver-

tently made the Board appear as unresponsive to issue from school principals which could have been avoided had respon­sible individuals taken appropri­ate action in a timely fashion. The fact that these concerns were not entertained by the Commissioner initially and properly presented as a unified and well researched set of policies for Board consid­eration obliged the Board to have the appropriate Committee work study it more carefully. For your information, the Commissioner appointed these Committee members.

The principals cut short their discussion with the Board when I started a line of questions with respect to their priorities, the involvement of parents and teachers in their schools and the academic and vocational achievement levels of their re­spective students which I ex­pected will lead to their concerns. I feel that this line of questioning was unexpected and caught the principals of guard. Perhaps the principals should have asked me to redirect my questions in a dif­ferent manner.

The comment by one of ·our principals that " .. .if the door is not broken, why fix it," is inter­esting since one of the Board's goals is to prevent mediocrity in education by demanding for improvements in the educational level of our children; so, I say, even if the door is not really bro­ken, it needs renovation.

Again, I am obligated to in­fonn the public of what our school system is all about and what the efforts of the Board to improve the system. Individuals will be affected in our effort to improve but I ask that the public keep in mind that our children deserve the best education we can provide them.

The public is invited to attend our Board meetings and I en­courage them to read our min­utes.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Isl Anicia Tomokane

Bills Passed Not Numbers Important Dear Editor: I was very disappointed to read

your page one article in the Mari­anas Variety dated Jan. 27 re­garding the numberofbills intro­duced in the Sixth Common­wealth Legislature, including your very opinionated reference granting me "last place honors" in the Senate for introducing three bills.

For your information, all of my

bills were signed into law, a fact which you failed to mention in your article. In fact, according to your article, only two other members of the Legislature had three bills become law.

Furthennore, your article was misleading because you give the impression that it is more impor­tant to introduce bills - rather than how many are actually ap­proved and signed into law by L'1e

Governor. In this regard, I have a very

productive record. As to the fu­ture, I urge the Marianas Variety to give credit where credit is due, and to stress to your readers the most important aspect of being a lawmaker - being productive.

Texas Road Project Reviewed By Committee

By Tom Anderson Managing Editor Paving and re-routing ofTexas

Road should be considerably closer to becoming a reality as five meetings are scheduled this week for the Special Senate Se­lect Committee on the Texas Road plan.

The committee met Monday twice, once in the Senate Presi­dent Office and once in the Gov­ernor's office. Senator Juan Ba­buata, chainnan of the commit­tee, said the Monday meeting were infonnational gathering ones.

"We need to know just where the executive branch is in its plans for the road project," he said. "We have to find out what problems they are having and how we can help out."

Several government offices will be involved in the committee !neeting ipcluding the Depart­ment of fu}?lic Safety. Director of that deparunent, Ed Mani­busan is expected Wednesday to give a report on the impact _the opening up of Texas Road would

have on alleviating the traffic problems on Beach Road.

"We know there is a problem on Beach Road. But we need to get in down in black and white and the DPS report will help us," said Sen. Babauta.

One area in which problems are expected to rise in the project is the question of land ownership alongtheroadsrightofway.Sen. Babauta said a majority of the land owners have agreed . to comply with the road projects plans, but that at least one land owner has claimed they would not part with their land.

"We will be asking the AGs office to advise us on the legal questions involved," said Babauta.

Although thegovernmentdoes have the power of eminent do­main which allows it ta...lce posses­sion of land for a worthwhile purpose, Sen. Babi ata said he feels the government would ljke to find another way to pursue the problem without provoking its powers of eminent domain.

Economics Workshop Held During a three-day workshop

at Northern Marianas . College (NMC) recently, the school's home economics staff provided training on meal planning and preparation for key personnel of the Saipan, Tinian and Rota pro­grams for feeding the elderly.

Primary purpose of the work­shop was to emphasize the impor­tance of meeting nutritional needs in the planning, prepara­tion and serving of meals to the elderly. Also included on the agenda were classes aimed at improving skills in planning menus, calculating proper quan­tities of food to be purchased, and controlling costs. Hands on cook­ing activities demonstrated meth­ods for preparing healthy and nutritious meals suited to the tastes and dietary needs of local elderly. .

Attending the workshop were Jess L. Atalig, Administrative Officer for the Aging Program; Juliana T. Cabrera, Food Service Supervisor for the program; and hea'd cooks Juaqita M. Sakisat (Saipan), Martha M. King (Tin­ian) and Regina Q. Dela Cruz (Rota). The Aging Program is part of the Department of Com­munity and Cultural Affairs (DCCA), and currently provides meals to 236 elderly persons on Saipan, 48 on Tinian and 86 on Rota.

During a brief ceremony mark­ing the end of the woricsliop, William Reyes, Acting Director of DCCA, commented: "This program forfeedingourelderlyis very important to our people. Wer need to be constantly looking for

ways like this to improve the liv· ing standards of our elderly. I'd like to thank the college for pro­viding the workshop."

Before presenting certificates of completion to the workshop participants, NMC president Agnes McPhetres said: "We do not always look carefully enough upon the things we should be doing for our elderly. They have done so much for us, and caring for them is as impor­tant as caring for our young chil­dren. I congr~tulate our Land Grant program and home eco­nomics department for promot-

ing this workshop." The workshop was conducted

by the home economics staff of NMC's Cooperative Extension Program. Cooperative Extension programs are concentrated in four areas: agriculture, home economics, 4-H for youth, and community development. The program are designed to provide an infonnal outside-the-class­room way for people to improve their knowledge, awareness, skills and competency for the purpose ofimproving the quality oftheirlives and the environment in which they live.

Dump Closing Closer

fromwqe 1 island. Having b'ansfer station nearby to all the island's villages should have an effect on cutting ?own the indiscriminate dump­mg of some residents who may feel the drive to Puerto Rico at present is too much of a burden.

Making the pick ups at transfer stations and operating the dump site will be placed under the re­sponsibilities of the Department of Public Works. This, said Sen. Babauta, willhavetocomeabout by the amending of the law which currently gives pick up responsibilities to the Common­wealth Utility Corporation.

Work by the Committee should proceed at a rapid pace as they have decided to meet weekly to review progress made and to make plans for future prujects related to getting the Puerto Rico dump closed and the Mafi>i site opened.

For the meeting tomorrow, a study of the costs and locations for the transfer stations, a opera­tions and management report from Public Works and a set of landfill site rules and regulations from Public Health, is expected to be presented to the members of the Committee.

Committee Members are; John Pangelinan Director of Public Works; Dr. Jose Villa­gomez birectorof Public Health (Pangelinan and Villagomez are co-chairman of the committee; · Rex Palacfos Executive Director of CDA; Nick Guerrero Director ofDNR; Russell Mecham Chief Environmental Quality; Felix Sablan, Managing Director of MVB; Sen. Juan Babauta repre­senting the Legislative Branch.

By Bobble Lynch I listened to the predawn report

and heard him say, "The tropical stonn is still

hundreds of miles away." According to the four a.m.

forecast bulletin, Not until about four p.m.

would it pass Saipan. It wasn't a "typhoon but only a

stonn," he stressed. Which meant this disturbance

wasn't as dangerous. A mental note to commend

Emergency Operations For the promptness with which .

we'd received these bulletins. Usually the warnings are an­

nounced ten hours late, Not so infonnative with a ty­

phoon coming your way. When the expected time of

arrival yau do learn, The postwamed typhoon has

already blown over and gone. "Aboutfourp.m.," was broad­

cast again and again. To purchase batteries and sup­

plies, there was still time. At eight-thirty am. the time

when I left home, Unbeknownst to me the re­

peatedforecasts had been wrong. There were few clouds in the

sky when !drove away, Little different from any usual

day. i stopped at the laundromat and

put in a load . But before the washer filled

up, lo and behold ... Just.as all my dirty clothes got

soaking wet,

The electricity went off, just like that!

Then the shopkeeper came into the room infonning,

"Everyone must leave at once because we are closing."

I wrung and I wrung with all main and might,

But the clothes retained all the water light

So I took my heavy dripping dirty sopping clothes,

And looking for a dryer with power, tried to go.

I opened the laundromat door and the rain blew through,

Dousing not only my wet clothes, but also me, too.

Therainandwindragedlikean ordinary typhoon.

Trying to make it to my car I was almost blown down.

To find a laundromat with cur­rent, I did fail.

The only places with it were big stores and hotels,

Who had power generators of their own.

But not little Mom and Pop stores, nor the homes.

Then to buy a few batteries, next I stopped at a store,

Knowing the lights probably wouldn't come anymore.

And so the rain deluged and typhoon-like winds did blow.

Clothes and hair satllfated, r was miserable and cold.

Where there was a generator, I stopped for warm coffee,

Since without electricity I could not make any.

From loved ones to cheer me

up, I hoped for a note. Stopped by the post office, but

even it was closed. I looked forward to being shel­

tered inside my room, Where I could hibernate the

duration of the typhoon. Believing that the worst was

still yet to come, Battling gale-force winds, I

managed to suuggle home. With a sigh ofreliefl was out of

the blow, Put in the batteries and turned

on the radio. And would you believe what it

did say?- - -"The storm had already passed

this way." When I got back to my apart­

ment before noon, Past Saipan the cyclone had

already blown. I found the apartment, like me,

was soaked through On the inside where the rain

and wind blew. And blown out from the win-

dows were the screens, Scattered on the floor were

debris and leaves. It seems the forewarnings had

been a mistake. The squall had come much too

early instead of late. They learned that it had passed

about nine am., Closer than had been expected

toSaipan. It had come faster and stronger

than was predicted, And I was out running around

in the worst of it! Skirring at twenty-eight miles

per hour, it hit and ran, Whirring only fifty-five miles

west/so.uthwest of Saipan. But when it passed, it was not

yet a typhoon "proper." Although winds gusted sixty

to eighty miles per hour. I would have stayed at home, if

I had just only known, And not been inundated and

away almost blown. But now see here, they had

done it once more Blabbered out a wrong ty­

phoon storm report They've done this before over

and over again. I think everyone's patience

must be wearing thin. Unlike a report about ordinary

weather, A typhoon tempest is no trivial

matter. Withallofthemodern,expen­

sive equipment, I wonder why they can 'tgive it

to us straight? I am sure there must've been

other ones like me, Who were out in the fury un­

suspectingly. Which could have been fatal

for me as well as them, If instead of "Winona," this

typhoon had been "Kim." Thank goodness the elements,

and we, are in one's control, Far more uustworthy than us

Springs Could Meet Village Water Needs

By Tom Anderson Managing Editor The Commonwealth should

seriously consider the renovation of water springs in the Tanapag area not just for their temporary use but as a means to satisfy fully the current and future needs of the Villages ofTanapag and San Roque, is the conclusion of a study prepared by Stan Good for Nansay Micronesia, Inc. and re­leased in Dec. of 1988.

Nansay's study was prompted by the field workofViceSpeaker Benigno Sablan who had ex­plored areas that he said he had remember as a youngster to have provided water to the community in the past. "He (Sablan) has a comprehensive knowledge of the terrain surrounding Tanapag and San Roque and he guided the author to the springs site," wrote Good in his report

Three springs, Tanapag #1; Tanapag #2; and Achugua #1; were concentrated on in the Nansay study. Other springs, such as Radio Hill and Falig springs were also mentioned in the study.

Although the CNMI is making some use of the springs at Tana­pag # 1 as a four inch pipe was laid overland and connected to the springs in early December of last year, the Nansay report suggest tl~. springs be tapped more exten­sively.

"Renovating previously used springs will contribute a large supply of potable water for local consumption, 11 says the report. It also suggest the CNMI look to the example set by the Japanese during their time on Saipan.

"The Japanese understood the basic geology of Saipan and made use of topography to ex-

ploit the use of springs where they could find reliable flows," the report says.

And the two Tanapag springs and the Achugua spring produce reliable flows with a survey completed in Nov. of 1988 show­ing Tanapag # 1 flowedatarateof 128,000 gallons per day; Tana­pap #2 at 86,400 gallons per day, and Achugau #1 flowing at 92,160 gallons per day. Achugau was said the contain the purest water of all the three springs.

With the combined flows of the three springs being 306,560 gallons per day, Good's report for Nansay suggest the springs could well serve Tanapag and San Roque villages.

"This volume is sufficient to supply the total average daily water requirements for Tanapag. During the wetter rainy season the springs could supply both San Roque and Tanapag with all their water needs at the current popu­lation," says the report.

The remaining springs, though not studied as extensively in the report, of Radio Hill and Falig should not be forgotten the report says and efforts to protect the springs from effects of surround­ing development should be made in order that the spring could be used at some future date when needed.

It is believed the Common~ wealth Utility Corporation is taking Good's repoit for Nansay on the spring seriously as the report also contains a copy of a request for a turn key water proj­ect proposal for the Tanapag Springs renovation. The pro­posal asks that submission to CUC on the project be submitted by Feb. 1 of this year.

Forklift Accident Leads To Death Of Local Man

by Dan Phillips Staff Reporter A local man was killed Sunday

night when he fell from the front of the forklift he was riding and was crushed by the machine.

Police authorities say the vic­tim, identified as Nowell Anse Hapisay, 28, of Garapan, was riding the forklift while working at Charlie Dock in Puerto Rico as part of his work for Saipan Steve­dore.

It was later learned by the po­lice that the driver of the forklift, id:!ntified as Serafin C. Roberts of San Roque, had over the legal limit of alcohol in his system

when the accident occurred. According to the police report,

the accident was reported at 11:33 p.m. Su,nday night by a security guard in the area.

The police is treating the inci­dent as an accident. However, the case is still pending investiga­tion.

The police department re­ported only three D.U.I. arrests over the weekend. Other arrests made were; five thefts, 18 traffic violations, ten disturbing the peace, eight assaults with a deadly weapon, five assault and battery arrests, and two burgla­ries.

Memories Of WWII Recalled As Veteran Halloran Returns

by Dan Phillips Staff Reporter BeforelastFriday,thelasttime

Raymond "Hap" Halloran had been to Saipan was during World War II, exactly 44 years earlier.

ItwasJanuary27, 1945, when the B-29 bomber he was riding in was shot down over Tokyo.

Mr. Halloran shared his expe­riences with a class of Marianas High School students Monday afternoon. He was remarkably candid about his experiences and brought photographs to share with the students.

He recalled the day he was shot down: "There were eleven on board, but only five of us sur­vived a parachute landing. All five of us were then sent to pris­oner of war camps."

"I spent the first 67 days in a horse stall. All I remember was darkness, cold, and being alone, 11

he said. He later said that he was also blindfolded the entire time.

"When things got bad, I told myself 'I do want to live ... I can

get through this:• It became very special to see the sun rise every morning," recalled Mr. Halloran.

When he finally escaped in March, 1945, he was able to fi­nally be reunited with his four companions from the plane. "I stood next to the Captain of the mission for half an hour and I didn't recognize him until his name was called."

Mr. Halloran, who said he lost around 100 pounds while he was in the camp, was in the hospital for six months. He says the physical scars healed much faster than the psychological ones.

"I had nightmares for many years. I dreamed of being in a fire, of being beaten, and other horribl.:.i things."

But in 1984\ Mr. Halloran decided to take a trip that would rid him forever of his night­mares. 111 decided to complete an open circle in my life by going back to Tokyo and seeing what thepeoplewereliketoday. Since

I made that trip, I have not had one nightmare."

He said that coming back to Saipan also completes an open circle. "I lived in Saipan for aboutfivemonths,inahuton the beach. We loved it here."

On Mr. Halloran's request, the pilot of the Air Micronesia flight he came in on flew over the is­land at a low altitude so that Mr. Halloran could see if Saipan was the same way he remembered it.

"I didn't expect to see golf courses and high-rise buildings, but Saipan is essentially the same now as it was then," he said.

Mr. Halloran said that "having lived through that experience, life now is easy. I now know I can handle anything."

Mr.·Halloran is currently ·!iv;. ing in-Menlo .. Park (near San. Francisco), and he works for Consolidated Freightways, Inc., where he is the Senior Vice Presi­dent.

The rocky cliffs and deep green vegatation of the Marpi area hide come of the most visisted spots by tourist on Saipan. Friday's Variety will feature a pictorial on areas tourist usual visit here.
