Serving CNMI for 1 9 Years

Alien bizvisa lawschangingYear1 entry permits will be good for 90-day stay

By Dave HughesSignificant changes in the

Commonwealth’s immigration laws are scheduled to go into effect tomorrow which will slam, closed loopholes which hundreds of aliens have used to set up businesses and extend their stay in the CNMI indefinitely.

As of Aug. 15, regulations re­garding the issuance of “Regular Term Business Entry Permits” will be amended to limit these

documents to 90 days - within a one-year period. In other words, any alien obtaining a business li­cense through normal means will still be able to do so, but they will not be able to stay in the Com­monwealth more than 90 days within one 12-month period, nor can their families.

The 90-day stay may be in multiple visits, or continual resi­dence, but once the time period has been exhausted the permit

holder may not re-enter until a new entry document is issued.

Commonwealth of the North­ern Marianas Attorney General Robert Naraja said in a Monday morning interview that the new regulations also affect anyone holding an “Immediate Relative” entry permit tied to an alien holding a business entry permit

Hesaid that the Commonwealth would not be issuing any more “One-Year Entry Permits” good

'Fishy' chests yield $250k in dopeA Palauan nationai was arrested Friday in what

Customs Chief, Maj. Pete Reyes, said is the “sec­ond largest drug haul" ip the history of the Com­monwealth.

CNMICustomsaodDepartmentofPublic Safety Special Operations Division Personnel arrested Simpson Elbelau, 39, of Palau, after he allegedly tried to smuggle 5,182 marijuana cigarettes, worth aquaiter-million dollars (US), inside the bollowed- out walls of three ice chests full of fish, police reports imlicate.

This was the second time in less than two months that ice chests had been ,used in an attempt to smuggle marijuana into the Commonwealth.

The contraband was found during what a DPS · press release said was a “routii* customs border search at Saipan International Airport.”

Accotding to a DPS press release the smuggled 'joints’ had a total gross weight of 10.72 lbs. and wcrcpert of the passenger luggage brought in on k

Air Mike flight 959, which had just arrived direct from Palau.

A field test of the cigarettes done by technicians at the scene said they “tested presumptive positive” asbeing marijuana-Theirstreetvalue wasestimated to be worth $250,000, according to the press release.

Elbelau was detained at the DPS for violating the CNMI Smuggling Act, according to the press release. He was later arraigned before Superior Court Associate Judge Marty Tay tor and was told that a bond of $250,000must be posted for release.

Customs chiefReyessaidMonday evening that the largest haul made by his agency was in ¡983.

Reyes also said that he was asking for the combined helpofttieattomeygeneral’sofficeand thatofthejudidal system to set an examplefor any would-be smugglers of drugs into the CNMI

He said that the drugs “ . . would be going to school kids and young people.”

Thenew regulations won’t affect U.S. citizens holding business licenses, or any of their immediate relatives holding business licenses, in the Commonwealth.

However, greencard holders who no longerreside with their sponsors, could be affected.

Naraja said the new regulations will have no im­

mediate effect on those persons presently holding valid one-year permits, but when those permits come up for renewal they will only be issued 90-day entry per­mits.

Only those aliens seeking a business entry permit on or after Aug. 15, will initially beaffected, hesaid.

The attorney general said that the public had been given notice of the planned changes through the “Commonwealth Register,” thejoumalofofficialgovernment

MPLC 'identifies' homestead landby Ronel B. ConcepcionMarianas PubticLands Corporation has definedaportion of Saipan’s

public lands in the Kagman area as aplaceto accommodatebacklogged homestead applications.

MPLC Executive Director William Concepcion said in an interview that “MPLC has an outstanding number of about 1,800 village homestead applicants presently and what we are doing right now is that our Board of Directors has already authorized us to start the planning and the survey of the Kagman Village homestead.”

Concepcion said the planned subdivisionisgoingto be called “Unai Alaihai” and will contain 2,000 lots.“

The MPLC executive said the agency has begun initial planning stages to accommodate the 1,800 existing applicants.

He said that at present there are already homesteads in Kagman area termed as Kagman Part I and Part II. Part I has 200 lots already occupied by families, and just last month MPLC opened Kagman Partn .

That areacontains500ready lots andpeqpleare now startingtobuild houses, he said.

He said MPLC will open Unai Alaihai by October or November.The executive director said village homestead program mandates

that public land should be reserved to accommodate the village homestead programs for future generations, he said.

Concepcion said they “just finished” the comprehensive land use plan for the public lands in Saipan, Rota and Tinian.

Based on this plan, M PLC has identified which public lands which are suitable for homestead development, he said.

He said that land use identified for Saipan in the {dan has a “projection that in the next 25 years we need to put up about almost lljDOO village homestead lots and that is based on a feirly accurate projection of the growth of the population we have in Saipan.” and there is enough public landavailabkat this time to accommodate that need.

New immigration law long needed

Today's P age 1 story outlining ch an ges in the Commonwealth's immigration laws is a chronicle of rem edies long-needed. But, a battle with the bleeding- hearts in the CNMI is envisioned.

The last time government officials attem pted to take action against alien familes a great wailing and gnashing of teeth cam e from the haole and religious sector about how the laws would "separate families" and how it w as "inhuman."

New immigration regulations which go into effect tomorrow will not seprate families, but a good many families who had taken advantage of the CNMI's laws on residence here will have to leave.

All 'good things' m ust com e to an end.They will find that once-open door thorughly nailed and

bolted. The alien'business owners will not be precluded from doing business in the Commonwealth - that's unconstitutional. But they may not live here any more than 9Ckiays within a 1 2-month period.

There will be little immediate effect from the law’s change. It just m eans that those persons - whether visitor or alien worker - who had planned on starting a business in the CNMI a s an excuse to stay will not be able to reside here, nor will their families.

The real change will occur within 15 months, possibly even sooner. Those aliens who have lived here under the umbrella of their "businesses" m ust leave because their "grandfathered" year-long permits and the new EQday renewals will have expired.

In their wake will be left sco res of small businesses that will still belong to them, but they will have to be run by other aliens employed a s contract workers, or even better - by local m anagers who have the right to live here.

Attorney General Robert Naraja said that he is asking for 21 new full-time em ployees in the immigration division. He should get them - and more - if they can be justified.

Part of the reason w e are in such a m e ss now is because the immigration division has been in a constant state of turmoil and shorthandedness for literally years. If those new I-lb's can bring professinalism and an impartial, efficient enforcem ent of the law, then it will be money well spent.

But, if the FTE's are to just expand som eone's 'empire,' then close, close scrutiny will have to be m ade of the request.

It takes people - professionals - to do a needed job.

Letters To The EditorDear EditorI am writing to clarify a mis-

tatem ent that was attributed to m e by Tcri Flores on page 3 of the July 20 issue o f the M ari­anas Variety.

In th is a r tic le , e n title d ‘Shim izu project recieves split support', I. am quoted as testi­fy in g th a t th e p ro p o sae d Shim izu “project would be o f benefit to both island residents and the tourists.” If M s. Flores w ill take the tim e to review m y w ritte n te s tim o n y , on which she based her quote, she will see that I did not say this.

F or the record, I will appreciate it if you would allow me to re­peat my exact words here. My statem ent as follows:

“ A lthough im portan t h is­to ric sites w ill be excluded from the lease area, we are con­cerned that public access be maintained. Perhaps this can be m ade a requirement o f the lease agreem ent. F inally, w e would like to see Shim izu assist our office develop these im portant h isto ric sites, especially the latte village. It is our w ish to develop the latte site into a cul­tural park. Such a facility will be o f benefit to both the island

residents and visitors.”As you can see, we w ere re­

ferring to the proposed cultural park as being beneficial to both island residents and tourists, not the go lf course. A lthough I have personal opinions about the Shim izu project, my w rit­ten testim ony addressed only historic preservation concerns.

Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to set the record straight on this matter.

Sincerely,/sgd / M ichael A. Flem ing Historic Preservation Officer

Nation. It is a prestigious program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary in which two girls are chosen based on their academic achievements to represent each state as “Senators”. Girls Nation, for just one week, emulates what the actual federal government does. Besides passing legislation and holding the title o f senator, everyone was able to hold an appointed or elected position. I held the position o f Surgeon General o f Girls Nation.

W e also visited the Pentagon and spoke with Defense Secretary Dick Chaney, saw the actual Senate Chambers and met Majority Leader Senator Mitchell and Republican Leader Bob Dole. W e toured the W hite House and other sites and monuments o f our nation’s capitol.

Girls Nation was an opportunity to see our government in action and a chance to participate in a mock form of government. W e performed our duties as “senators”, proudly represented our states, and made Girls Nation a truly memorable experience.

Possible suit against CNMI looked intoBy DawB HughesCommonwealth o f the North­

ern M ariana Islands Attorney RobertNaraja declined to confirm or deny Monday that the United States could be filing civil litiga­tion against the Commonwealth because o f the number of aliens present here, and the wages they are being paid.

Naraja did confirm, however, that the attorney general’s office had received a letter from Acting U.S. Attorney for Guam and the NME, Paul Vernier, asking “ . . . d a ta to com pare p e rso n n e l (aliens), I guess Filipino workers . . “ and other alien workers in the Commonwealth.

He said that one ready source for that information, the recent

U.S. census conducted in the Commonwealth, was closed to him “ .. .because that information is confidential.. Instead, the information was going to be ob­tained from immigration records.

Naraja said the compilation might take some time because the records are not computerized.

AcaU to immigration confirmed Naraja’s explanation. The clerk answering the phone said that their records w o e not in a computer and only one person, Ralph Demapan, handled the tracking of aliens, and he was out-of-the office on business.

The attorney general said that he has turned the matter over to asst. AG Bruce Turcott, and he is reviewing the request “I ’ll have

to discuss turning over a copy of Vernier’s letter to the press with him,” Naraja said.

Asked if he was worried about 'th e J U.S. A ttorney’s curiosity dealing with the number of aliens, Naraja said; “W hat’s bothering me is what are they after? I can’t decipher what it is.”

Vernier’s letter did not give any clues, Naraja said. Asked if the U.S. prosecutor asked about wage scales in the CNMI or the ‘dual standard o f pay scales, Naraja said, “n o . . . ”

The CNMI attorney general said he would talk to Turcott and possibly have more cm the matter later this week.

One o f Naraja’s top assistant A G ’s, Eric Smith, told members o f S aipan C ham ber o f

Auto crash victim identifiedPolice have identified the Chi­

nese national involved in the collision between a tour bus and a station wagon, Thursday after­noon.

Police identified the fatality as Guang Yong Huo, driver o f the Toyota station wagon that struck aSaipanTouis Services bus driven by Michael Nobuld.

Witnesses say that the accident happened when a Toyota station wagon heading south on Beach

Road, suddenly made a “sharp, abrupt left turn” causing the sta­tion wagon to swerve in the op­posite lane.

Upon impact, the bus went to the opposite sideof the road while the van ended in the middle o f the Highway, according to Depart- mentofPublic Safety Spokesman C ap t Francisco Duenas.

Damage to the Toyota was se­vere with the front passenger section completely ripped open

and the roofpeeled almost straight upward while the bus was struck at the left side of thedriver’s seat.

Huo was pronounced dead 37 minutes after he was taken to the Commonwealth Health Centerby DPS paramedics.

Cause o f death was listed as “m assive internal injuries and possible basal skull fracture.”

Police has no information as to the cause o f the accident pending autopsy, Duenas said.

Labor violator may face business license loseBy Dqye HughesL ab o r law s in the C om ­

monwealth are going to be even more strictly enforced in the fu­ture, and Director o f Commerce and Labor Joaquin S. Torres, said Monday that his agency “ . . will begin revoking business permits o f those who continue to break the law, or who have serious labor violations.”

Repeatoffenders can almost be assured that they will lose their business licenses, Torres said - whether the business is in the name o f a local person or alien.

One o f the prime reasons he feels that businesses will get into

trouble is the fact that many do not comply with the wage and hour laws in place here. “If busi­nesses do not pay the required overtime, then they can expect to have their licenses revoked,” Torres said, especially those told to pay overtime and ignore the sanctions.

While the CNMI does not have the same minimum wage stan­dards ($3.85 per hour) as the U n ited S ta te s , the C om ­monwealth’s Commerce and La­bor agency has - after being prodded by recent investigations by the U.S. W age and Hour divi­sion, adopted regulations related

to a 40-hour week.Minimum wage for almost all

occupations is $2.15 per hour.Tones said that no matter what

a worker’s contract says, under CNMI regulations, almost any­one who works in excess o f a 40- hour week, must pay overtime past that point

The rare exceptions are per­sons engaged in domestic work, such as maids, those hired as farmers or other types o f agri-or- aquaculture labor, and those per­sons classified by law as “man­agem ent”

Persons who are “managers” must also meet criteria as those

being in charge. Naming some­one a “manager” and then having them do other jobs is illegal, un­der U.S. and CNMI laws.

Torres said his agency has had to really get tough with a lot o f on- island businesses, and he said that if his agency investigates a com­pany that is not paying overtime, dependingon the severity, itcould mean the cancellation ofabusiness license.

Determination o f overtime pay for someone who is on a monthly contract is fairly straight forward. “You take the monthly pay and multiply it by 12.Thenyoudivide that by 52 and then divide that by

the number o f hours per week,” he said.

(MP xl2/12/52/hrs worked = OT differential)

“That’s the overtime pay.”Overtime is not necessarily

computed on what someone is paid for 40 hours, but by the ac­tual number of hours they work.

If a contract worker was paid $250 per month - that would be for 40 hours per week, he said. If that person works 18 hours per week, then he he would beentitled to be paid regular time, plus $ 1.20 per hour.

The more hours he works the less he makes “per overtime hour.”

Other determinations into a worker’s overall pay can also be judged a factor, T orres said. P re sen t reg u la tio n s a llo w a monthly deduction to a worker providedhousingby an employer. That deduction is $50.

But, “If the employercan prove to us that it costs more that $50, then we will investigate it. I f the employer is right, then we will make an adjustment,” Torres said.

The Commerce and Labor ex­ecutive said that his agency is understaffed, but. wage disputes are a high-priority. Torres en­couraged em ployers and em ­ployees to keep “accurate time records.”Hesaidthatrecordswere the best protection.

A memorandum was issued by Saipan Delegation Chairman Sen. H om an R. Guerrero Aug. 8 in­forming them of the meeting with Shimizu representatives Takashi Taguchi,Pete A.Tenorio, Vicente Salas, and MPLC Executive Di­rector William Concepcion.

The memo told members the purpose of the meeting was to afford Shimizu the “opportunity” to present the Aug. 2 amended lease for the two golf courses planned in Kagman.

AlettersignedbyCongressmen Thomas P. Villagomez, William C. Ada, Diego T. Benavente, Gabriel B. Babauta, Pedro S. Arriola, Juan I. Tenorio, Stanley T.Torres,JesusT. Attao.Mametto U. Maratita and Vice-Speaker

Luis C. Benavente bearing the same date was then forwarded to the chairman in response his memo.

Cong. William C. Ada, in a separate letter, told Sen. Guer­rero, that the decision to schedule a m eeting between the Third Senatorial Districtdelegationand the Shimizu representatives two days after adopting res. 7-2 is “an insult on the integrity of the del­egation” and “makes us look very indecisive before the general public.”

That communication said that the the undersigned members were boycotting his called meet­ing, and “we do not endorse this meeting and will not be attending until the MPLC responds” to Resolution No. 7-2"

The Saipan delegation voted 7- 2 Aug. 6 asking their fellow leg­islators to postpone any consid­erations on the Shimizu proposal.

Aug. 9, Sen. Guerrero issued ano ther m em o addressed to members o f the delegation. That communication said that “it ap­pears” that the members of the delegation “have severely mis-

, construed” the memo about the

meeting.G uerrero’s m em o said the

m ee tin g w as req u ested by Shimizu Corp., and being an elected official and chairman of the delegation, he “felt, and con­tinue to feel, that it is my duty to respectandhonorsucharequesL”

The chairman also said that he invited the Shimizu delegation to meet with the Saipan elected of­ficials “to be heard” with regard to the latest amendments.

G uerrero, according to his memo, said thatal though he is the “sponsor” o f SLD Resolution 7- 2, it was adopted without consid­eration o f the Aug. 2 amendment to the lease agreement.

His memo stressed that “It is in no way inconsistent or indecisive for the delegation to give the Shimizurepresentativesahearing on the amended lease.”

He said that the “inherent fair-

Alien Biz Visa..sure sort o f laid around until it was taken up again by staff members, Naraja said.

The attorney general credited asst, attorneys general John Cool andPatriciaHaulsellwithmostof the work done on the new regu­lations. She saitfthe permits have always said “90 days,” but it had never been enforced because of confusion about the wording.

But, there is no confusion about the newregs, she said; itis specific.

Haulsell said that she felt once the impact of the new regulations is made known throughout the alien community in the CNMI, “It will be a lot o f emotional news . . . ” Under these new regulations aliens who have come to the CNM I as tourists or contract workers and then changed their immigration status to “business owners” will have to leave once their 90-daypermits haveexpired.

It will take a t the most one year for the in-place permits to expire and these families, many of who have set up so-called “mom-and- pop stores or invested in small business centers, will have to exit the CNMI.

“For what it’s worth,” Haulsell said; “the labor law and immi­gration task force just recently draft revisions in the labor law and the immigration law. Those will be submitted to the legislature soon.”

The assistant AG said that leg­islators “could tinker around” with the law anyway they chose, and could either enact less stringent regulations, or tighten the laws even further.

“It’s always possible that the legislature could come up with some new immigration law . . . who knows what the immigration

. Continued from page 1law might be months from now,” she said.

Both Naraja and Haulsell de­clined to comment on a question if the measure was designed to get rid o f the so-called “mon-and- pop” stores which have sprouted all over Saipan thepastfewyears.

The attorney general said that the new regulations would be strictly enforced, but he also tied the level o f enforcement to the manpower available in the im­migration division. Naraja said his Fiscal Year 1991 budget will include a request to hire 21 new full tim e employees.

Hiring new personnel and the computerization of immigration records will go along way to­wards catching the cheaters, he said.

N arajaalsosaidthatonceanew

organization plan goes into effect between the department o f com­merce and labor and his agency, all work and entry permits will come to the A G ’s office, not im­migration. He said some o f those new FTE’s will be stationed in the AG’s office to exclusively work on permits.

Immigration only has one per­son to do on-site inspections of permits, Naraja said, and some of those proposed employees would be assigned to that duty, he said.

He said that his predecessor had asked for 11 new employees in immigration, and “ . . . not a single one was approved.” The AG stressed that for the new permit law to be effective, en­forcement would have to be in place.

T he C N M I's holding the M icronesian Games from July 7-15 w as a fiasco if you are to listen to all o f the talks after the gam es. T hat only goes to show th a t there are several lessons to be learned from the experience.

Every country that holds an international sports gathering for the first time should take tim e in fin d in g o u t the experience o f other countries who have undergone the same situation.

S om e suggestions gleaned from a working paper used in an inform al gathering o f sports officials o f the Southeast Asian Gam es organizing commitec in M anila in 1981 could be useful to C N M I when it decides to m ake another bid in holding gam es o f big in te rnational importance.

A d ap te d from the SEA G am es w ork ing com m ittee m em bers are questions which are usually asked am ong the sports councils o f the eigh t member countries of Southeast A sia lik e the P h ilip p in es , Indonesia, Thailand, M alaysia, B u rm a (now M y a n m ar) , Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia and Laos w henever their turn comes to host the SEAG.

Basing on the experience of these countries, CNM I should have involved its d iffe ren t N ational Sports A ssociations or C ouncils in the p lanning and preparation o f the recent

, Micronesian Games.T h e N S A s o r C o u n c ils

should have an inside track o f w hat's going in the C N M I's sports c ircu it— the defects, problem s and solutions o f its troubles if th ire 's any.’ In the firs t p lace , the re

should have been a long-range plan prepared by the organizers before they even thought o f m ak ing a b id to host the Games.

Questions like what does the CN M I have to o ffer to the other participating islands?

Does it have an all-weather track oval? A gym that's m ulti­purpose in nature?

A re there enough technical p e o p le w ho h av e s tro n g background in sports? Are there w ell-trained referees, scorers, um p ires, linem en for each particular sport calendared?

Are there enough personnel w ho are able to interpret the ru les and regulations o f each sport?

W hat about the food, is there enough to feed all delegations?

Som e countries, especially those o f M uslim origin like to p rep are th e ir ow n food in accordance to their customs and religion. Has the host country inform ed them to bring along their own cook and food? Or has there been an anticipation o f the problem , thus, enabling the hosts to h ire M uslim people for the Games?

W hat abou t the a th le te s ’ quarters, arc they nearby or

close enough to to the venues? Is the p rice fair enough or affordable? A re the assigned quarters comfortable?

Another question could have been on the scheduling o f the d if fe re n t e v e n ts . A re the v e n u e s , t im e , l i s t o f participants and their particular spo rt p ro p e rly p rin ted and d is trib u ted to all in terested parties?

Then com es the reporting of resu lts . Is th e re a lia ison officer assigned by the different N SA s to m onitor and gather results for each sport?

Is there a separate main area reserved for the working press, c o m p le te w ith co m p u te r , telephones, fax m achines and boxes w here results from the field are readily available?

D o the press people have an assigned place to cover all the events o f their own liking?

It should be remembered that m edia plays a very vital role in d issem inating sports events, hence, all o f basic inform ation th a t they n ee d shou ld be p ro v id ed s in c e they have deadlines to m eet

W hat about sm all am enities like drinking w ater, coffee or softdrinks? Is it go ing to be provided free for the m edia men?

How far should the reporters and the photographers go inside t h e p l a y i n g f i e l d ? Consideration should be given to the fact that there’s nothing like being close to w here the

action is.Is there an in terview room

prepared fo r w inners i f they can’t b e talked to a t the field once their event is over?

S hould there be a need to ta lk to de leg a tio n o ffic ia ls , w ould they be available in the same room too?

T hese are but a few o f the q u es tio n s th a t need s to be answered whenever a big event such as the M icronesian Games is to be held.

T hey m ay n o t be surefire solutions all the tim e but they m ake a good basis fo r vital decision-making.

Nelson conducts Tennis clinic on CNMIBy Uly O.RamosJohn Nelson, the men’s tennis

head coach of the University of Cali­fornia At Davis, Sacramento, Cali­fornia is on Saipan to conduct a one- day tennis clinic on Aug. 18 with help of the Coral Ocean Point Club.

Nelson, acertified memberofthe United States Professional Tennis Association (UPSTA), is here on a short vacation with his wife, Carol, who hails from Saipan.

“I have been coaching at the NCAA Division 11 level for eight years. From the the time I’ve started in this job, all of my teams have been ranked in the top ten nationwide. Three teams fin­ished third and this year, the UC at Davies finished second,” he said.

Having been awarded the Coach of the Year seven times in the North­ern California Athletic Conference (NCAC), Nelson has also been cho­sen the Coach of the Year in the Western Region of the US twice.

His leaching spans all levels from beginners' through advanced lessons for children and adults.

Talking about his teaching career in UDC, Nelson, who has a BS in physical education from the Califor­nia Stale at Haywood and a masters degree in education from the Stanford University said that a lot of hard work in the right direction has given UC Davis one of the finest men's tennis programs in Div. 11.

John NelsonAggie players learn in their early

careers that success is derived from an application of physical condition­ing, mental preparedness, concentra­tion and goal orientation.

The soundness of the Davis pro­gram enables the athletes to continu­ally develop on the court while al­ways meeting their academic chal­lenges.

Under the guidance of coach Nelson, the Aggie players learn the value of persistence. A structured year-round program allows the ath­letes to improve their technical skills in the fall quarter through individual lessons. This specialized instruction.

coupled with Nelson’s unique phi­losophy on the inner aspect of readi­ness help the Aggies gear up for the start of match play in January.

Tennis at Davis makes an ideal situation by offering the student the best of both worlds. With a strong schedule, he has the chance to com­pete against many Div. 1 opponents while still being afforded an excel­lent opportunity to achieve All- American honors in the Div. 11 na­tional championships. Last year, the Aggies ended the decade with a 14 AA achievements.

Asked on how tennis champions are made, Nelson said, “It depends on one’s fire within. One has to have a very strong desire to be number one. All of the world's top players like Bjom Borg, JohnMcEnroe, Billy Jean King and Martina Navratilova have always known that they have the talent and fierce determination to become the world’s best at one time or the other and they live, eat and drink on that.”

Nelson suggests that children should start young in tennis lessons but those who have the potential to become world class players should not turn pro when they're barely out of their teens.

“Once a youngster turns pro at a vety early age, he or she is bound to suffer bumoutThe kid may not be even fully physically developed and

that’s bad because while a girl may have a mature body in her very early teens, a boy's body, especially the upper portion may lack the proper muscles and strength.

Nelson has observed that girls grow physically earlier than boys; are more mature in thinking and seri­ous in their games that’s why many of them are able to beat boys of their own age during competition.

He said that tennis beginners should first concentrate on the as­pects of footwork, balance, point of contact, shot selection, competition match plays, strategies and others.

“It is preferable,” he said, ’’that youngsters start on clay court instead of grass because the latter is quite fast and the ball bounces fast. On the other hand, clay court teaches pa­tience to starters. And the smaller the class, the better and easier for the students to learn . Early learners should also use middle-sized graph­ite racquets to appreciate power bet­ter.”

Tennis today, according to Nelson, is fast changing due to advancing technology.

‘There’s not much finesse nowa­days because of the bigger and wider racquets that increase power, unlike before when one has to rely purely on talent, physical strength and power.

Tennis has been good to the former ace player of California State in

Haywood. It has given him a liveli­hood with comfortable salary plus the opportunity to travel in and out of the US.

He said that coaches in the US receive between $30,000-560,000 a year, depending on the popularity and experience of the individual in­volved.

Through tennis. Nelson has had the chance of meeting many of the world's greats and near-greats in the game like Arthur Ashe, the first black American to have captured the Wimbledon and the US Open titles during coaches’ conventions.

Since he has an equally talented identical twin named Jeff, he often played doubles with him against another set of popular twins—Tim and Tom Gullickson of California a few years back.

Of course, when he was much younger and active on tournament circuits in the US and in Europe, he had come across numerous celebri­ties in the field of sports and enter­tainment. Not everyone is abletodo that.

‘Tennis is a not a team sport like football or basketball. When you lose, you have no one to blame but yourself. I could say it is a social game. Just like golf, it is a lifetime game that relaxes and opens doors to many business deals,” said Nelson.
