Police say 50 Cent isn’t a suspect in jewelry theft
Veteran TVnews execFouhy dies
NEW YORK (AP) — EdFouhy, a longtime television newsexecutive whose Emmy Award-winning career ranged from pro-ducing Walter Cronkite’s eveningbroadcasts to twice overseeingpresidential debates, has died.
Fouhy died Wednesday at anursing home in Chatham, Mas-sachusetts, according to hisdaughter Beth Fouhy, a formerAssociated Press reporter andnow a senior editor at MSNBC.Ed Fouhy was 80.
A Boston native who attendedthe University of Massachusetts,Amherst, and Boston University’sCollege of Communications,Fouhy was an executive at all threenetworks, starting as producer of“CBS Morning News” in 1966.He won five Emmys and coveredstories worldwide.
He was Washington producerfor the “CBS Evening News” withCronkite from 1969-74, was a pro-ducer for NBC News from 1974-77 and Washington bureau chieffor ABC News from 1982-1985.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Rap mu-sician 50 Cent is not a suspect inan investigation of a Los Angelesman’s complaint that he was at-tacked and robbed of jewelry inLas Vegas, a police spokesmansaid Wednesday.
Las Vegas police haven’t posi-tively identified a suspect in the al-leged May 2 robbery at or nearboxer Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s gyma few blocks west of the Las VegasStrip, Officer Larry Hadfield said.
But the rapper, whose legalname is Curtis James Jackson III,has been ruled out, Hadfield said.
The investigation remainedopen, and Hadfield said a policereport would not be made public
unless charges are filed.The musician’s attorney, Scott
Leemon, said he was upset bywhat he termed irresponsible anddefamatory media reports linkinghis client to a robbery complaint.
“We appreciate the fact that thepolice have publicly stated 50 hadnothing to do with these allega-tions,” Leemon said.
Leemon denied his client or hissecurity guards were involved.
Celebrity website TMZ reportedthat LAX Jewelry Co. owner RobertMarin said he showed the rapper adiamond watch and chain valued atsome $250,000 hours before he waspistol-whipped and robbed by twoof the rapper’s associates.

In Celebration of
Purita F. Dimarucut Purita Federico Dimarucut , also known as “Puring” born on April 16, 1933, was taken by our Heavenly Father on Saturday, May 2, 2015 at the age of 82, joining her recently departed husband Melchor L. Dimarucut.
“Puring” is survived by her children and their spouses: Arturo Dimarucut, Ester & Ramon Bilon, Maria Dimarucut-Villatoro & Eric Villatoro, Charlotte & Dean Huntsman, Eloisa & Wayne Hudson, and Alicia Dimarucut; her grandchildren and their spouses: Lisa Dimarucut, Krystle Bilon & Gene Chargualaf, Tristan Jay & Darcie Bilon, and Kaira Nicole Bilon; and her great-grandchildren: Kanryn Skye Chargualaf, Tyler Jay Bilon, Tiana Jene Bilon, Daemon Jhase Bilon, and Evyn Michael Chartgualaf. And of course her faithfaul kitty and baby Boom Boom and numerous other cats.
“Puring” had a vivacious and magnetic personality that drew many to her side. Those who met her for
the first time would fall in love with her immediately. Always the life of the party, she
truly was the elegant “Queen” to her life-long partner and “King” - Mel.
Puring had a long, fulfilling career as a beautician, making many friends along the way.
And as one of the pioneers of the Dededo Aerobics Club, she served as President the first year of its formation, helping to build
a group so large it encouraged other villages to follow suit. She was courageous,
generous and loving person that many considered their second “mom”, and we were happy to share her because she had so much
love to go around.
Rosary is being held nightly at 6:30pm at the family residence at 132 Calamendo Court,
Dededo, and ends Sunday, May 10th.
Last respects will be held on Saturday, May 16th , at Santa Barbara Church from 9:00am - 11:15am ,
with Mass at Noon . “Puring” will be laid to rest at the Guam Memorial Park following Mass.

The Legislature must rectify the budg-et shortfall at the Guam ElectionCommission, which needs more than
$431,000 to cover prior-year obligations andto fund the special election for Agat vice may-or.
The Election Commission needs $60,000for the special election, which has been post-poned due to Typhoon Dolphin.
However, the bulk of the remaining amountneeded is for prior-year obligations thatweren’t funded in the agency’s budget. Mostof the obligations are to pay the $246,610 billfor litigation services rendered by Cabot &Mantanona, which did the work from 2005 to2013.
The money to pay for prior-year obligationsshould have been built into the Election Com-mission’s budget for the fiscal years that fol-lowed. It’s ridiculous that it’s taken as long asa decade to pay this outstanding obligation.
It’s an all-too-familiar pattern for the gov-ernment of Guam and its elected officials —failing to properly budget and failing to paydebts to vendors in a timely manner. Year afteryear, the Legislature and the governor passbudgets that fall short of covering expenseswhile also failing to prioritize key governmentservices. So every year, various agencies haveto appears, hats in hand, to ask senators for ad-ditional funding.
Election Commission officials shouldn’t bewondering whether there it will hav enoughmoney to cover legal expenses, properly con-duct a special election, or pay other bills.
The commission is charged with ensuringthat the basic democratic processes of ourgovernment — the people’s right to vote — isdischarged properly and fairly. It’s ridiculousthat the very elected officials put into office bythis process are the ones who fail to adequate-ly fund the Election Commission.
Senators and the governor’s office mustwork closely with the Election Commission toensure that it has the resources it needs, so thepeople of Guam can be confident that theElection Commission can do its job.
Our View
Fund itElection Commissionneeds budget that letsit do its job properly

FestPac preparations impressBy Monica Okada Guzman
This past week we have been for-tunate to have special guestsfrom the Secretariat of the Pa-
cific Community, or SPC, here in Guam.Leituala Kuiniselani Toelupe Tago -Elis-ara, deputy director of Gender, Cultureand Youth in the Social Development Di-vision and Elise Huffer, culture advisor,Social Development Division, are here tomeet with our Guam Festival Manage-ment team to review and discuss plansfor the12th Festival of Pacific Arts.
The SPC is custodian of the festivaland is the Secretariat for the Council ofPacific Arts and Culture. The councilmembership includes the heads of cul-ture of the 27 Pacific countries and terri-tories that participate in the festival.
Huffer arrived in the early morninghours of May 9 and hit the road runningby attending the monthly programmingmeeting at GCC. There she met with ourartists and cultural practitioners, many ofwhom she has met before at past festi-vals. She also attended the opening oflocal artist Mark del-Issola’s show andtoured the Sagan Kutturan Chamorro atIpao Point. Tago-Elisara arrived Tuesdaymorning and had a full day of briefingsand site tours.
The itinerary for their 10-day visit isexhaustive. In just the past few days theyhave met with four of the five individualprogramming subcommittees, had twocourtesy visits with our island leadershipand attended the festival coordinatingcommittee meeting. Additionally, theyare taking site tours of the venues andproposed accommodations. Discussionshave centered on programming, cere-monies, housing, biosecurity and health.
Their visit was to coincide with theopening ceremony of the Guam Mi-cronesia Island Fair and the launch of theOfficial Countdown to FestPac. They
were looking forward to meeting withthe heads of delegations for the GuamMicronesia Island Fair to continue dis-cussions on the formation of the Mi-cronesian Council of Art, Culture andTourism. It is unfortunate that the fairwas postponed because of Typhoon Dol-phin, but that is the reality of living in thetyphoon alley.
Being ready importantIt does bring to light, however, the im-
portance of having a contingency plan.Living in Fiji and New Caledonia, theyare familiar with cyclones, so for our vis-itors, we’ll make sure to deliver aChamorro care package of flashlights,batteries, candles, Spam, chorizos, Navybiscuits and boñelos pakyu so they won’tgo hungry and be in the dark.
When asked of her impression, Tago-Elisara responded, “We are quite im-pressed with the organization andplanning and we’re confident that withthe leadership and commitment of thegovernor and the coordinating commit-tee, the government will be able to puton a successful festival in 2016.”
Huffer remarked, “The reason for ourtrip here is to provide guidance and sup-port to the festival committee in any way
we can and to ensure plans are in linewith the guiding principles of the Festi-val. ... We have had ongoing dialoguewith Guam over the past three years andwe will continue to provide our supportup to and throughout the festival.”
Over dinner Sunday night, Hufferasked a lot of questions about what it waslike to grow up on Guam and thechanges that have occurred as we weregrowing up. Recounting our individualstories of life on Guam brought about asense of introspection and deep reflec-tion on how we as Pacific Islanders areviewed by others.
Stigma to overcome The perception of Guam and the
Chamorro people by our Pacific neigh-bors has been that of a very westernizedand American-centric society that isdriven solely by the U.S. military. This isa stigma that we have had to work hardto overcome.
Thankfully, through Guam’s partici-pation at previous festivals, we have beenable to provide a different view of theChamorro people. While our culture con-tinually seems to be at a crossroads, wehave managed to maintain and revitalizeour traditions and rediscover our proudheritage.
Despite 400 years of colonization, oc-cupation and Americanization, the corevalues of our 4,000-year Chamorro his-tory as a people remain steadfast.
As we draw closer to hosting the fes-tival, there will be so much that we allcan rediscover and celebrate about whowe are, what we have and what we canshare with our guests, proudly and witha united voice; Manhita Chamorro —uno hit.
Monica Okada Guzman is chair of the Guam Council on the
Arts and Humanities.
