MICRONESIA'S LEADING NEW SPAPER SINCE 1972 cnews Vol. 18 N o. 44 Saipan, MP AUGUST 25, Marianas Variety Serving the CNMI for 18 years 500 Teacher Shortage Threatens School Closure by Dan Phillips The Legislature is acting quickly to try to avoid a critical shortage o f teachers in the Public School System (PSSj, one that threatens to close the schools shortly after the start o f classes. With school scheduled tostart Monday, a bill that will help the PSS fill its immediate need for nonresident teachers was passed by the Senate yesterday and will probably be before the House early next week. A joint conference com m ittee, consisting of Senators Juan Babauta and Manuel Villagomez and Reps. Gabriel Babauta and Antonio Camacho, ironed out the language of the bill during a meeting yesterday morning. The committee was formed because the House disagreed with the Senate's amendments to its original bill, introduced by Rep. Babauta. The primary focus o f the legislation is to allow the PSS to keep its current nonresident teachers. Public Law 6-28 amended the law to require that nonresident teachers must be either graduates o f colleges or universities in the United States or colleges which are accredited by the U.S. E ducation C om m issioner Henry I. Sablan and other PSS officials have said that if the requirements are not revised, the PSS will be faced with a crisis. He said a short-term solution may be the assignment o f staff from the PSS Central Office to the schools. Until the law is amended, Sablan says, the PSS cannot renew the contracts o f nonresident teachers. PSS-Staff Services Officer Joe Guerrero said that 48 teachers are being affected, and that their contracts expire by the end of November. Leo Boyer of PSS said that another 16 nonresident teachers must wait for the law to be amended before com ing here. The original bill, passed by the House on July 26, required nonresident teachers who are not from U.S. or U.S.-accredited schools to pass a "BESTE" test for English proficiency. The Senate amended the bill to re Marianas High School was packed everyday this week as students stood in long lines to register for the new school year. Students Ready For School Year by Fermin Meriang A look at the secondary schools on the island reveals one similar trend: Everyone is getting ready for the start of the new school year. Administrators are holding meetings, teachers are preparing lesson plans, students are registering for classes in droves, and the support staff are cleaning classrooms and getting instructional materials together. Those are familiar sights at Hopwood Jr. High School, M arianas High School, and thenorthcm Marianas College. At Hopwood, the campus looks like a construction site but Principal Tom Pangelinan is nonchalant as he sits in his office, reviewing the projected attendance records and wondering what to do with all the students already registered and the eigh t addi tional classrooms not scheduled for completion until the end o f the year. But in the classrooms teachers are scrubbing floors, changingchalk boards and putting instructional materials on the walls. "It is like this every year," he said. He said his school is undergoing minor repairs, some clean up, and the distribution of instructional materials to teachers. Meanwhile, registration was extended to accommodate those students who missed registration week. A t Marianas High, students line up in droves to get to the registration tables. The school had to designate different days for various class registrations because o f congestion. Still, the teachers and staff are very patient as if it is all in a day's work. move the "BESTE" requirement. The bill's new language accom modates both. It says that nonresident teachers who have not graduated from colleges in the U.S. o r ones which are accredited by the U.S. must pass the BESTE test "orits functional equivalent, as designated by the Board of Education." These requirements would take effect in September, Until then, theonly requirements for incom ing nonresident teachers are those set by the Board o f Education. Sen. Babauta, whochaired the conference committee, said the Legislature agrees with the idea o f testing nonresident teachers for English proficiency, but that it shouldn't be lim ited to one specific test before the tests have been reviewed by the Board o f Education to determine if they are appropriate for the CNM I. The new amendment to CNM I law would also allow the PSS to hire nonresident teachers until September, The current law does not allow the hiring o f nonresident teachers after September, Continued on page 39 Concerns Raised Over Law Barring Aliens' Relatives by D an Phillips W henpubliclaw 6-28 was passed on May 10, it was m eant to provide for som e m uch-needed non-resident w orkers in certain occupations, particularly teachers at Northern M arianas College (NM C) and personnel for the Technical Services Division o f the Department o f Public Works. However, one o f the "riders" added to the bill by the Legislature before its passage into law changed the law to bar the entry o f the relativesof m ost non-resident workers, including those in managem ent positions. That am endment provides that immediate relatives o f nonresident workers residing in the CNMI cannotcome here unless therelatives are "independently qualified" for entry. The new provision did not affect nonresident workers w hose families were already here, but it has affected many individuals since. According to the law, the Legislature found that "neither the social structure o f the C N M Inorthem cchanism sof governm ent which provide public services can bear the burden imposed by the continuing entry o f immediate relatives o f nonresident workers." Exem ptions are provided for in the current law that allow the relatives o f nonresident w orkers to com e here if th e worker holds a position o f "distinguished m erit", if it is the family o f a foreign diplom at, if the individual has a certificate o f foreign investment, or if the person is a m em ber o f a foreign m edia organization. Several groups are raising concerns, including the Saipan C ham ber o f Comm erce and Philippine Consulate,groups w hichfeel the am endment keeping im m e diate relatives out presents hardship to certain businesses and individuals and shouldeitberbe amended o r rescinded altogether. C ham ber President Joe Camacho, in a letter he wrote to both Sen. Pres. Benjamin T. M anglona and House Speaker Pedro R. Guerrero, said th e Cham ber is concerned about the provision because it "will place an undue hardship on com paniesin recruiting the needed m anagem entexpertise from off-felaitd, H e notedin particular the

The way the law is written in the Commonwealth, any initiative may be placed on the ballot to be voted on by the registered voters. However, once the initiative drive has successfully acquired the necessary signatures and is approved by the Attorney General's Office, it goes before both the House and Senate for endorsement. If the House and Senate endorse the measure there will only be a simple majority required at the poles in November to have the measure become law. If, however, there is no endorsement or the measure is ignored by the legislature, the initiative is still placed on the ballot, but it will take a two-thirds majority of voters in two of the three Senatorial districts for it to become law. Thus it will be much more difficult to pass. During the recent Republican primary, the candidates were reluctant to endorse the measure which was initiated by Rep. David Sablan and Vice-Speaker of the House Ben Sablan. On an individual and personal basis, most legislators agree it is a good initiative. But are they willing to come out publicly and endorse the measure? The primaries are finished and the candidates need to let the people know where they stand on this issue. Reps. Sablan and their corp of volunteers have worked tirelessly for months to accumulate the needed signatures. Now they are embarking on a real campaign to have the measure pass in November. Bishop Tomas Camacho, at first, was reluctant to endorse the measure with personal appearances, he supported the measure from its inception but was not active in gaining the signatures necessary for placement on the ballot. Toward the end of the campaign, though, the Bishop lent his energy and persuasion to the effort, through personal appearances in Tinian and Rota, as well as on television. It is imperative that the legislators look at the effort that has just succeeded in placing the "Ban Poker Machines" measure on the ballot. It's time our legislative leaders and candidates for office took a stand in favor of the initiative, alongside the church leaders, civic leaders in both the public and private sectors..mmnmmm r e r r tij-.

Box 231, Saipan MP Tel / / Fax: Member of the Associated Press M a r ia n a s V a r ie t y a ll r ig th s r e s e r v e Dear E ditor A front page article on your A u g u s t 2 2, 1989 issu e regarding com m ents that the G overnor's Special A ssistant for Program and Budget m ade need to be clarified. F irst of all, the Senate Fiscal C om m ittee did not deny or approve any request that the Board of Education made during the Budget Hearing two weeks ago. As you know, a Budget H earing is sim ply to p rese n t and justify budgets subm itted to the Legislature. Mr. Ripple erred in making a presumptious decision on w hat the Senate would do with our budget. Secondly, the Public School System B udget as subm itted for the A ugust 8, 1989 Budget H earing in clu d ed a revised section which incorporated the specific requests m ade by the B o ard d u rin g th e sev eral m e etin g s h eld sin c e they a p p ro v e d th e o r i g i n a l su b m issio n o f th e 1990 Budget. I adm it that the revised b u d g et does c o n tain other requests o f w hich the Board was not aw are of. This is not really a problem since there is It boggles the m ind that the Superior C ourt has seen fit to re-issue land inheritance over and beyond w hat the deceased landowner has decided before he/she was called to his/her eternal rest. C ourt intervention (I call it in te rfe re n ce o f the highest order) can be understood if an ille g itim a te c h ild claim s interest in the land belonging to his deceased father. B u t w here such isn't the case and where the court attem pts to red is trib u te f a m ily la n d (inheritance) other than that already willed by the deceased la n d o w n e r, th e n such a n attem p t by the court in the in sta n c e c a se w ould b e tantam ount to a total violation o f the w ill o f th e original landow ner. D oes the court have the pow er to alter the will o f d eceased l a n d o w n e r s especially on clear-cut cases? It is this form of interference or w illfu l u su rp a tio n o f traditional Iandownership that the court system must carefully and cautiously review in order to protect hot only what the C ovenant and C o n s titu tio n provide for our people; but m ost im p o r ta n tly r e ta in th e i n t e g r i t y o f th e la n d o w n e r's d e c isio n so to give cre d en ce too to t h e traditional system of inheriting land resulting from w hat is know n as the " P a t t i d a System." A MEETING PLACE FOR OUR OPINIONS AND YOURS still ample tim e for the Board to discuss and approve or disapprove these items. Thirdly, I wish to point out that the estim ated am ount that M r. R ipple indicated for the P ublic School System w ill surely not be adequate. I agreed w ith M r. R ip p le's com m ent th at..."pss is a very significant departm ent in our governm ent." A nd for th is reason, there should not be any doubt that PSS should receive enough to m eet the needs of our m ost valued resource, the children o f the CNM I. I am h o p in g th a t th a t t h e L egislature, both the Senate and the House, will have view our budget in the same light as Mr. Ripple does when he made th a t sta te m e n t a b o u t the sig n ific a n c e o f education; furtherm ore, I am hoping that the L egislature will give us w hat w e requested w hich is over the am o u n t th at M r. R ipple indicated. T he 15$ mandated by Constitution will never be enough unless the citizens of the CNM I are ready to a c c e p t a su b stan d ard education system to serve our fu tu re citizens. T his is an investm ent for our future and the funds for this investm ent should be based on w hat we really need to provide our students with the best possible education we can give. O ur schools need m ore school su p p lies, m aterials, equipm ent and good teachers. W e still lack drinking w ater equipm ent for our schools, we lack lockers and show ers for our students, w e lack adequate lab supplies and equipment, we lack adequate library facilities and books, the list can go on. On another point, the Public School System w ill have to pay its ow n utility expenses w hich m ay am ount to about $800,000 a year. W e are now p ay in g fo r h o u sin g and repatriation as w ell as for maintenance o f school grounds. It appears that we also have to cover the retirem ent benefits for our em ployees which may com e close to $3 m illion. Should all these be added into the 15% I don't think so. These should be over and above the am ount needed to serve the C o n tin u e d o n p a g e 39 JR's Agenda By John DelRosario The opinion expressed in this column are the personal opinions of the y * author and may or may not express the opinions of the newspaper. ^I I am b eg in n in g to be suspicious of the ability o f the S u p erio r C ourt to review intricate and com plex issues such as land disputes. That a decision had to be made for the sake o f rendering a decision isn't adequate nor sufficient a reason to interfere in a matter w here the landow n er has decided or willed his land in the m ost fo rth rig h t m a n n e r. Definitely, the case in point is far from even m entioning that should there be litig atio n resulting from marital discords betw een his ch ild ren and spouses, final disposition of Ian d o w n ersh ip sh o u ld b e referred to the courts for final settlement. As a result o f the Superior Court's decision in this regard, the case had to be appealed to a higher court because heirs to said land cannot and will not accept any decision other than decision already made by their father. It w ould seem quite appropriate that the court must look into whether the litigant has legal standing to own land here. If not, it stands to reason that the court m ust not even allow said case to be heard. Needless to say, it now seems that the court w ill definitely becom e the strongest agent of change o f even the m ost sacred tradition-the "Pattida System." * * % * * Tum otohge un amko gi fina' lobrigu anai m ato dos bisita ya m afaisen para um afahan in tano'ña gi fina' sabana.

Juan T. Guerrero accusing TaiTof being in v i o l a t i o n o f th e C om m onw ealth Code. In his letter to Tan, G uerrero states, "Y ou have exceeded y o u r authority by maintaining your own Public Auditor Checking A ccount w ith the Bank o f Hawaii..." Tan answered this allegation and several others made b y G uerrero's letter in a written response, before he left on a planned trip to W ashington, D.C. W ednesday night. T an claim s that the section o f the C om m onw ealth C ode which Guerrero cited as being violated only applies to those am o u n ts "appropriated b y C om m onw ealth law." H is letter said, "The monies in the Public Auditor Scott Tan P ublic A uditor's account, a separate account with the Bank o f H aw aii, com e from fe e s re c e iv e d by the P u b lic A u d ito r's o f f ic e w h en p e r f o rm in g a u d its f o r au to n o m o u s ag encies and Federal programs." G uerrero s response to that portion of Tan's response was, "He s a heck of a liar. He has lied. H e speaks with fo rked tongue." A ccording to Tan, he asked for a legal opinion on w hether or not the office could set up the bank account. The Public Auditor's counsel, Dennis Boaz w ro te th e o p in io n in D ecem ber, 1988 that the law did not specifically prohibit the opening of the bank account. Boaz said, "Section 1 CMC 7831 estab lish es the O P A funding though governm ent and in d e p e n d e n t a g e n c y w ithholding. T he w ithheld am ounts 'shall be deposited in a special account in the General Fund' and expended by the Public A uditor for the OPA's a c tiv itie s w ith o u t fu rth e r appropriation.' Guerrero cites this section as the reason the account is in violation of the law. Boaz cites this section as allowing "a great deal of autonomy."

D r. M aradel G ale, A ssociate P rofessor o f Planning at the U niversity o f Oregon, stopped by Saipan for a few days on a tour o f M icronesia. Schorr said he asked her to speak to the Rotary for two reasons, the first being th at people here ought to know w hat she is doing in M icronesia and the second is that the group m ight be able to a n s w e r so m e questions for her. G ale introduced herself by saying that she "d isco v ered " M icronesia by being asked to do planning for the Peace Corp in Pohnpei fo r a three m o n th stint in She then took a six m o n th sabbatical leave from UofO and traveled all over M icronesia, prim arily in T ruk an d Y ap. She said she never got around to com ing to Saipan.. W hen sh e returned to the university she was able to put together a program for graduate students w ho have m ajored in planning and public p olicy. The program allows a graduate student to w ork with a Pacific Island g o v ern m en t fo r th e equivalent o f one-quarter o f a school term. T he student w ill assist the govern m en t w ith planning a specific project, and actu a lly h av e a p la n fo r im plem entation as part o f the project, G ale said. "W hat this does is allow the student to a c tu a l w o rk in g experience, and college credit for the w ork at the sam e time.

On a lighter note, G ale said, she had an affinity for Yap the first tim e she w ent there and d id n 't know w hy u n til last year. She said, "M aybe it sounds a little woo-w oo, but I think I m ust have lived here in a previous lifetim e.

(670) PEDRO SASAMOTO Executive Director, CUC Conti Appears In Superior Court by D an P h illip s He showed up a little late, b ut Richard F. Conti m ade his scheduled appearance at the S u p e rio r C o u rt y e ste rd a y morning. C onti, w ho arrived from Hawaii via Guam the previous day, appeared w ith counsel John L izam a b efo re Ju d g e M arty Taylor for a bail hearing and arraignment. C hief Prosecutor Craig P latt has filed charges alleging that C onti cashed a ch e ck for $9, a t the B ank o f G uam, a check bearing th e fo rg ed sig n atu re o f J o h n Sablan, Executive D irector o f the M ariana Islands H ousing Authority. C onti had been w orking as the com ptroller fo r M IH A before leaving for H aw aii to attend to his w ife's m edical problem s. C harges w ere filed by the AG's Office on A ugust 11, an d b ail w as se t at $50,000. P latt filed charges of theft, forgery, and possession o f a forged w riting. Y esterday, Conti pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. Judge Taylor let bail remain at $50,000 yesterday, although he recognized that Conti had com e b ack v o l u n t a r i l y, knowing that a warrant was out for his arrest. L izam a pointed out that F ra n ces C ab rera, w ho is involved in a sim ilar case, was re le a s e d on h e r o w n recognizance, and asked that C onti be allow ed the sam e. "Conti's situation is no w orse than Cabrera's, perhaps even m uch better," said L izam a, who asked that bail be set at $1,500-3,000. H ow ever, P latt pointed o u t th a t C ab rera's situ atio n is unique because there are no detention facilities for women on Saipan, and also because she has signed over her interest in the estate of a relative. Conti's next court appearance is scheduled for September 6 at 1:30, for a status conference. R ichard F. Conti, center, appeared in the C om m onw ealth Superior Court yesterday.

A ssista n t D ire c to r P a u la W ujek, who is also PIC-Entertainm ent M anager, has been putting the perform ers through their paces during five weeks of rehearsals. A ccording to H arper, the roots o f "City Called Heaven" are both the gosp el church music o f black Americans and personal tragedy. The original inspiration of the production was a dream he had after the brutal, unprovoked 1984 m urder of his godfather, an AME Zion Church Minister in Oakland, California. Gospel music is fundamental to Harper, who followed in his father's footsteps as a B aptist C hurch M inister o f M u s ic, w hile grow ing up in the San Francisco Bay area. Harper later received classical voice training and a variety of aw ards and scholarships. H is professional career has included recordings, B roadw ay show s and appearances in TV com m ercials. Stints in Japan and the reso rt island o f S a i n t M artin in the W est Indies as well as visits to som e o f th e b etter know n p erfo rm an ce stages have kept Harper busy. During an interview, Harper and W ujek agreed the theme of "City C alled Heaven" is very much like gospel music itself: "Hope for the future, hope for everyone." H arper said he view s the production as a chance "to fulfill a personal spiritual mission on Saipan."

On Tinian and Rota, the Adult Education State Plan Draft can be reviewed at the Mayor's Office during working hours. Interested persons are invited to submit their comments on the Adult Education State Plan Draft to: Director Adult Basic Education Northern Marianas College Saipan, MP (Telephone ) Pregnancy And Drinking Don't Mix B y Christine E bert-santos, M.D. C om m onw ealth H ealth C enter D epartm ent o f Pediatrics T h e h a rm fu l e ffe c ts o f alcohol on unbom babies has been noted as far back as Old T e sta m e n t tim es. A n cie n t G reek law s prohibited new ly m arried couples from the use of alcohol. In 1726 the College o f P hysicians o f London claim ed laws liberalizing restrictions on distilling and cheap, p lentiful gin w ere "a cause o f w e a k, feeble an d d i s t e m p e r e d children." Benjam in Rush, who sig n ed the D ec laratio n o f Independence, suggested that alcoholism is a d isease, a concept widely accepted in only the la s t tw e n ty y e a r s. E x p e r im e n t b y R u s h 's contem poraries showed alcohol appeared in all tissues o f the body, including m other's m ilk an d the blo o d o f the f e tu s (unbom baby). In 1848 a stu d y on 300 m entally d efe ctiv e p a tie n ts show ed th at h a lf had parents w ho w ere alcoholics. In spite o f all this historical evidence, scientists in the 1940's and 50's an nounced th a t alcohol was not a danger to babies or a cause o f retardation. H ow ever, research continued to show the terrib le effects o f d rinking during pregnancy and finally, as recently as 1973, undeniable evidence o f the "Fetal A lcohol Syndrome" w as published. D am aging effects of alcohol on th e u n b o rn are t o o num erous to nam e. Stillbirths and m iscarriages are tw o to three tim es m ore c o m m o n am ong w om en w ho drink two a lco h o lic b ev erag es a day. M ore than tw o drinks a day cause one third o f babies to be bom sm all, with brain dam age an d b irth d e f e c ts. S in c e between five and ten percent o f w om en drink this m uch, that could m ean up to thirty affected babies b o m each year in the Northern M ariana Islands. A com m on sign o f fetal alcohol syndrom e is retarded brain growth and development, producing a sm all head size. B irth w eight and height are below norm al in tw o thirds o f a f f e c te d b a b ie s. G ro w th r e m a in s.b e lo w n o rm a l th ro u g h o u t the child 's life. Som e babies also show poor fe e d in g, tro u b le sle ep in g, jitteriness, hyperactivity, poor a t t e n t i o n s p a n, p o o r coordination, or cerebral palsy. A bnorm alities o f the face, heart, kidney, spine, o r eyes are m ore likely w hen the m other drinks during the first three m onths o f pregnancy. B ut the b ra in is m o st se n sitiv e to alcohol during the lhst five or six m onths. M others w ho stop or reduce their intake have a better chance o f delivering a norm al child. Even one drink tow ards the end o f pregnancy has been show n to cause the fetus to stop breathing m ovem en ts fo r as lo n g as 30 m in u te s, w ith d e c re a s e d activity for three hours. Three drinks m ay com pletely interru p t blood flow through the um bilicus to the fetus. A lcohol can be m easured in the am niotic fluid surrounding the baby lo n g after it has disappeared from the mother's blood. U se o f caffeine, as in coffee o r coke, cigarrettes, or dru g s such as co cain e or marijuana increase the chane of dam age to the baby further. A study o f highly educated p reg n a n t w om en receiv in g prenatal care at U.C.L.A. in C a lifo rn ia m e a su re d th e m o th e r s an d b a b ie s' IQ (intelligence quotient) after one year. M others w ho never used alcohol had babies with similar IQ's. However, the babies bom to m others w ho drank m ore than tw o drinks daily or m ore than 5 drinks on any one occasion had IQ s 22 points low er than their mother's. W ith this strong evidence, the only safe recom m endation for w om en o f childbearing age is to not drink alcohol at any tim e th a t y o u co u ld b e pregnant, even before the signs o f pregnancy occur. However, it is also clear that stopping or reducing alcohol a t any tim e d u rin g p re g n a n c y is very im portant. M ore inform ation can be obtained from the doctor during prenatal visits, which should begin as soon as a w om an th in k s she m ay b e pregnant. MR.

T he one y éar passenger was wearing his seat belt. He survived the collision w ith serious injuries and the extent o f his injuries indicate that he would alm ost certainly have died without his seat belt. T he third accident victim, a police officer who was wearing his seat belt in accordance with enforcem ent delay contained in P.L made enforcem ent too late to save M ark Sonoda. As far as I can tell, there has b een ab so lu tely no public education associated w ith this law. S uch public education m ight have saved M ark by convincing him to w ear his D epartm ent o f Public S afety policy, sustained only m inor se at b e lt. I reg u larly see in ju rie s. T w o liv e s w ere a p p a re n tly sav ed in th is accident by seat belts. A lthough this accident is dram atic evidence that se a t belts save lives, the above summary o f the accident is not s c i e n t i f i c evidence. T e c h n ic a lly, it is c a l l e d "anecdotal" evidence. As a doctor o f public health, I am trained to evaluate the scientific evidence regarding seat b e lt use. T he e p i d e m i o lo g ic a l e v id e n c e I h a v e s e e n dem onstrates conclusively that w earing seat b elts g reatly reduces the risk o f dying or suffering serious injury in a m otor vehicle accident. Even safe drivers are involved in accidents, and seat belts can save their lives. The odds are greatly in your favor if you w ear seat belts. SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. A prem ature death is not an isolated event or an isolated loss. It is a com m unity event and a com m unity loss. W e all lose when our young people w ith g re a t p o te n tia l die prem aturely. W e all lose when m iddle aged people who are r a i s i n g f a m i lie s a n d contributing their labor to the society die unnecessarily. W e all lo se w hen o u r se n io r citizens who are the keepers of the past die prematurely. Protecting lives is part o f the responsibility of governm ent w hich is organized to protect the public health and welfare. There is no excuse for lack o f rigorous enforce-m ent o f strict laws requiring restraints for all p a sse n g e rs in th e C N M I. A cting responsibly to protect liv es is not som e kin d o f federal invasion of sovereignty. T his is a com m unity issue. It u n re s tra in e d c h ild re n in vehicles. Parents are putting their children at great risk of b e in g th ro w n in to th e windshield or out of the vehicle in case o f an accident. Their soft bodies will not survive a serious crash if they are not restrained. I have not seen any child restraint systems offered for sale in Saipan, although G overnor Tenorio signed P.L on A pril 20th o f this year. A serious om ission in the law is that it does not cover "passenger vehicles that are u tiliz e d e x c lu s iv e ly fo r passenger transportation. This section would seem to exclude all priv ate autom obiles and taxis. T he law also excludes b u sse s, in c lu d in g sc h o o l b u sse s, a n d it e x c lu d e s passengers riding in the back of pick up trucks until A pril 20, W e m ay find m any fam ilies suffering tragic and unnecessary losses at one tim e if we have a serious school bus accident, if the children are not restrained by seat belts. W e m ay also have a m ultiple tragedy if a pick-up carrying a fam ily or other large group of people is involved in a fatal accident. A second serious omission is that P.L excludes Tinian an d R o ta from co v erag e. G overnor Tenorio noted this d efe ct in the law in his message the Legislature that he had signed the bill. The laws of physics apply in R ota and Tinian as weli as Saipan, and they apply to busses as well as cars and trucks. I w ould like to invite the Sixth L egislature to im prove upon its w ork by am ending P.L w ithin the next m onth to: (1) im m ediately require the use o f b elts by FRIDAY, AUGUST 2 5,1989-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND V IEW S-PA G E29 im m ediately notifying drivers o f the seat belt law and o f the effective-ness o f seat belts; (5) assure rigorous enforcement by the D ep artm en t o f P ublic S afety o f P.L as am ended; (6) req u ire as a condition of graduation that all high school students pass a driver training course; and (7) extend coverage to Tinian and Rota. To refuse to do these things w ill cost a lot m ore lives to save a few dollars. The price isn't righl W hile we as citizens should i n s i s t u p o n e f f e c tiv e governm ent action to require all passengers be restrained w herever they d rive in the CNM I, all o f us as drivers and p a re n ts can m ake a b ig difference w ithout waiting for governm ent action. All drivers w ho do n o t already do so sh o u ld re q u ire th a t a ll p assen g e rs riding in th e ir v e h ic le s also b u c k le up. Parents should set examples for their children by autom atically buckling up when entering any vehicle and parents should train their children to buckle up from early childhood. N o infant should be transported in a vehicle unless in an approved in fan t o r child restrain in g system. N o driver should allow any passengers to ride in the back o f a pick-up truck unless they are secured w ith proper restraints. If you have read this far, rem em ber that I am w riting about you and your fam ily - n o t som ebody else. U nless these sim ple rules are followed, w e w ill c o n tin u e to u n n e c e ssa rily su ffe r these p r e v e n ta b le c o m m u n ity tragedies we experience all too often. Consider that you may be a t th e h o sp ita l n ex t. H ow ever, if w e take these actio n s in M ark S onoda's memory, his tragic early death can save m any other lives. Let us act safely in his memory. REMINDER TO PARENTS IS YOUR CHILD ENTERING SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR? IF SO, YOU ARE REMINDED THAT THE LAW REQUIRES MEDICAL CLEARANCE BEFORE A CHILD CAN BE.

PUBLIC NOTICE The Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will be holding a Public Hearing in conjunction with the Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC), Sewer Division, on September 6th, 1989 at the Carolinian UTT Building in Garapan. The hearing will be held at 7:00 p.m. to discuss the Construction Grants Priority List for the 1990 Fiscal Year. Construction Grants are federal monies provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fund major sewer projects in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Since FY-90 is the last year Congress has approved the Construction Grants Program, the FY-90 Priority List is especially important, since it requires the CUC Sewer Division to plan for local funding sources for future projects. The public is encouraged to attend and comment on funding priorities and allocation planned for FY-90. /s/f.

Circus Coming To Saipan Soon b y D an P h illip s For the first time ever, Saipan will play host to a circus, com plete with lions, elephants and high-wire acts. Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio announced earlier this w eek that Circus Bruno has tentatively set Novem ber as performance dates. The circus would be set up at American Memorial Park. The Governor appointed Jack P. Villanueva, Special Assistant for the A dm inistration, as the coordinator of the effort to bring the circus here. Frank Rosario, Public Information Officer for the Office of the Governor, said the circus also includes a 24-foot python and trapeze artists. According to Rosario, former Guam Sen. Franklin Gutierrez played an instrumental role in bringing the circus to Guam by introducing a law that exempted the circus from paying certain entertainment taxes. Rosario said the same may have to be done in Saipan to get Circus Bruno to come here. "The circus will only be here three days, and it gives the people of the CNM I a unique opportunity if it can be exempt from certain applicable tax laws, he said. A ccording to R o sario, Saipan will be the first stop in a tour o f M icronesia by Circus Bruno. He said the circus will likely also perform in Truk, Pohnpei, K osrae and Yap.
