Accidents Damage Only Vehicles By Tom Anderson Managing Editor A power outage not linked to
work by Commonwealth Utility Corporation was felt by residents of the Susupe area on Jan.1 as a truck knocked over a power line across from the Ciyic Center around 2:46 a.m.
Department of .Public Safety Public Information Officer Capt. Antonio Reyes said a "minitruck" equipped with a crane on top of its truck bed ran into the power pole clipping it in half. Capt Reyes said, thedriverof.the
truck, Benjie A. Bedania, age 23, admitted to police officers that he had fallen asleep behind the wheel. The truck had earlier been seen by witnesses parked in front of the Seoul Bar.
The driver, employed by Quezeda Construction, was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. Capt. Reyes said a charge of DUI will most likely greet him as soon as he is released from the hospital.
In a second traffic accident, a group of teenage girls were fortunate not to be injured when a jeep
they were in overturn on Middle Road on Jan. 1around1:20 p.m.
Capt. Reyes said the driver of the jeep was a 13 year old girl who had as her passengers three other teenage girls. The owner of the jeep, the driver's mother, said she had given permission to an older boy to take the jeep but somehow the young daughter had gotten control of the jeep.
Wiwess say the jeep was travelling north bound on Middle Road and was passing a line of cars when it suddenly made a Seepaqe3
Fires Wreck Havoc By Tom Anderson Managing Editor Foul play is suspected in a fire
which totally destroyed a barracks owned by Southern Cross Investment Corporation on Dec. 31.
The fire, according to Fire Inspector Jack Camacho and Deparunent of Public Safety Information Officer Antonio Reyes was reported at around 10:30 p.m. The barracks was located on Middle Road across from the Pop Store. Five Filipino workers -stayed in the barracks, but no one was injured in the fire.
An investigation into what caused the fire is being conducted by Fire Inspector Camacho. He was interviewing witness and those who lived in the barracks and in the nieghborhood early this week. Camacho said his report will be released next week. While declining to say outright that arson was involved in the fire, Camacho said there was reason to believe foul play was involved.
A second fire on Dec. 30 destroyed the rental home of a Filipino who is married to a Pohnpeian woman. The family has four children.
The fire was reported to the fire
department around 9:23 p.m. and firemen were on the scene within two minutes, said Fire Inspector Camacho.The rental, owned by Herman Castro, is located west of Northern Marianas Corp. Inspector Camacho said about 70 percent of the two room house was destroyed.
While the home which i:,i.ueht on fire was mostly destroyed, Camacho praised the efforts of firefighters in stopping the blaze from reaching two other buildings on either side of the burning home.
Camacho said one structure was about three feet from the home on the west side and another was about six feet from the home on the east side. Eight on duty firemen responded to the fire along with four off duty fireman.
The cause of the fire has already been deterimined by Inspector Camacho. He linked the fire to a fan. Hanging close to the fan were some clothes, said Camacho. The fan sucked the clothes into its blades and the clothes stopped the blades from rotating. Heat of close to 1,400 degrees F was built up by the motor of the fan and finally the Seepaae3

Have A Good Campaign in-89
This year is ·an election year forthe CNMl·and we are looking forward to the excitement generated by the campaigns. However, we are not looking forward to any dirty tricks from those running for office.
The election just held in the U.S. was thought by some to be the worse in recent years·as personal attacks were made by most all those seeking public office on their opponents.
Elections do not have to be run that way. A candidate for office can simply state why he is the
best choice for the job and what he will do once he is in office. Yes, he can attack his opponent on an issue if he believes his side of the issue makes more sense than the other man's but attacks such as that are not the same as calling the other person a derogatory name of throwing a bad light on the other person character.
Along with our desire that this year's campaigns are run in a decent manner, we also hope the campaigns do not turn into contest of just how many promises can be made by one candidate or the other.
It is such an 61d and familiar trick for a candidate to say "I promise this or that" when even as they speak they are more than likely aware they can never deliver on those promises. Yet, time after time we are fooled by those promises so time after time candidates use that tired trick on us.
Yet, an attitude of win at all cost and by any means seems to be prevailing almost everywhere now. It would be perhaps asking too much of a candidate to miss a trick if that he believes that trick will win him the election.
But certainly there are enough issues of real substance to be debated by anyone running for public office in the CNMI. Enough issues of great importance to the people that it would take a whole campaign to full address them.
We ask the candidates to spend their time in the months before the elections formulating policies on those important issue and not spend their time looking for ways to attack their opponents in a personal manner.
We believe -so far a fine field of candidates have been assembled and we know before too long others will throw their hats in the ring as potential candidates. We hope when the final vote is counted we still have respect for all the candidates as we do now whether they emerge as winners or losers.
ABED YOUNIS: EDITOR THOMAS ANDERSON: MANAGING EDITOR
Let Good Quality Of Life Be The Guiding Factor In Development
Dear Editor: With the beginning of the new
year, I hope that govem-ment leaders on Saipan will use a A GOOD QUALITY of LIFE as a primary guideline when they make decisions regarding economic develop-ment A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE is just as important as economic development. How-ever, our quality of life on Saipan is being threatened seriously by what appears to be a policy ofECONOMIC DEVEL-0Pl\1ENT AT WHAT-EVER COST.
A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE means 24-hour water, an adequate sewage system, and regular electrical power for each village on Saipan. It also includes goodroads,goodschools,agood hospital, and the like.
Several years ·ago, Saipan leaders said they were not going to repeat mistakes on economic development made by other members of our American political family. But is that what is actually happening on Saipan?
Government decisions and polic.ies should promote the beauty and richness of Saipan's culture and environment. The fragile reefs and other ecological systems of our island must be protected for the present and future generations.
If it is true that the Marianas Public Land Corporation reportedly is working on a CNMI master plan, that is a step toward a GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE for all of us. I hope such a plan will be completed soon.
The CNMI Senate also is reportedly reworking the zoning bill which failed to pas thathouse a few months ago. That is another encouraging sign. I hope that bill passes both houses, and is enacted into law soon.
In addition to the above, it is important that those government officials whose offices issue business licenses and environmental pennits be guided by their consideration of A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. Even if there is no zoning law yet, common sense dictates that a factory or a bar not be issued a business license and an environmental pennit to operate in a residential area. Why? Because such economic development does not promote A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE for the greater number ofresidents of that area. The only person (s) who benefits is the
owner (s) of that business. This new year is also an elec
tion year. I am going to vote on! y for those candidates who want A GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL SAIPAN RESIDENTS, not just for themselves and their families. I will only vote for those candidates who understand the need for economic growth, but will at the same time say NO to a new building project that threatens our land, sea or air. I hope other Saipan voters will do the same.
I also ask the local newspapers to note the campaign promises of the winning candidates, and note also whetl:e: those candidates carry out their promises by the end of their tenns.
Sincerely,
/~Guadalupe C. Borja

from gubernatorial aspirants at least from the Democratic Party. As this issue picks up importance as we go down to the final showdown (primary), there's also in the Marianas Agenda the 902 T~s. I am optimistic that the latter will be able to agree on an agenda that includes substantive issues:And-I·will be following this event very closely, indeed.
Poker Games: This issue is likely to evolve into one of controversy. I have no specific position on it in that I do not kn~w the gam~ nor ~o I want to learn it either.

The question of economics and personal rights will be clashing head 1? head.
Aliens on Island: Without a doubt, I am first to admit that development has taken on such a pace as to force us to bring in mor~ warm bodies to provide the labor requirements that the construction ~d garment industries need. Thus, their presence is a matter of necessity within the context of allowing these two sectors to commence operation, etc. They are here legally and therefore they deserve the protection of the laws of the Commonwealth. But the concern that I have pertains to the nearly 2,000 illegal aliens who are here moonlighting. I will refrain from even criticizing these people for they, as much as we are have the right to live. Should we penaHze them 'l Or isn't it true that thelr former employers should be brought to bear responsibility for failing these people whose basic necessities are the same as. ours?

first put our act together? I am confident that Dr. John Joyner can clear this matter up. And, Doc, I don't envy your job at all.
Education: It is also worth noting that this year, more so than atanyothertimesincetheinstitution of our constitutional government, more coordinated efforts will be taken to upgrade the manpower that we now ha~e in our governmental institutions in conjunction with the Northern Marianas College. Perhaps what is even more important in this matter is the issue or consistency and regularity in the provision of a well coordinate training programs. I trust in the leadership abilities of both Personnel and the Northern Marianas College. It should do us more good than anything else.
Church: If we all work together, we can assist in the completion of the cathedral's renovation work In Chala..1 Kanoa. With about 36,000 people throughout the CNMI donating five dollars a piece, we will be helping defray in the renovation effort of about $180,000. Shall we all pitch-in and work ever so hard to complete the CNMI's most important historic landmark? And for those who can give more than five dollars, I am sure that your assistance will be most welcomed in our total efforts to complete the renovation of the cathedral before December of this year. It would certainly be nice to see it completed before Christmas. We will appreciate your help in this regard. Si Yuus Maase!

Legislation got underway to have the public dump moved from its current site at Puerto Rico. Department of Environmental Quality Director Russell Mecham told Senators in a public hearing to expedite the choice of an alternative site because the Puerto Rico dump is a health hazard and the longer time it takes to name a new site the more the chance the best sites may have already been spoken for.

Baseball was highlighted in the CNMI when the 1988 Mobil games were played on Saipan. The games brought teams from many nations to compete and helped to promote sports activities in the Commonwealth.
Calling the influx of alien workers into the CNMI a serious problem, Sen. Juan T. Guerrero pushed for a six. _months moratorium on any future hiring of foreigner workers.

Lyonnaise Marianas Americas, Inc. began to negotiate with CUC over a contract which would put LMA in charge of the utility corporations electrical power system. As more work began to improve the power system, and more problems were found to prevent rapid improvement, LMA would become more and more on the minds of utility cu~rs.

Palau Court Upholds Dismissal of Election Suit
KOROR (AP) - A threemem ber appellate court on Thursday upheld an earlier decision to dismiss a lawsuit which challenged the election of Ngiratkel Etpison as president of Palau, an official said.

Bad Habits Not Easy To Break
The end of the year holidays are over now and slowly but surely things are getting back to the same pace as they ran at before December came around.
I can't say as -I had much rest during the holidays, I can say that managedtomakeafoolofmyself on several occasions cheered on by that liquid cheer you buy in a bottle or a can. Ihopemostofyou were wiser than I was during the holidays. I kept off the roads and that is about all I can say I am proud of.
I am learning to say to friends around me, please drive because
I am not at my best ss a driver because of the amount of alcohol I have had. I hope many of you out there also are learning to look to a friend, or to just simply walk, if the distance is not to far, if you feel you have had your driving ability impaired.
And that is really what it comes down to, impairment of driving ability. Sure you can drive for years with more alcohol in your system than the legal limit. It is just that one time which makes it so dangerous. That one time when someone walking in the dark shadows alon the road
suddenly walks into the path of your car and because your reactions are a bit slowed by alcohol you can not avoid hitting him as you might have if you had not been drinking.
On Saipan with its heavy traffic along Beach Road, its bad roads, (and in my own personal opinion some drivers who do awfully strange things behind the wheel) you really need to stay as close to your peak skills as a driver as you can to avoid an accident.
I have driven rural roads in my home state of Florida where you could go for miles and drive for hours and never see another car and if you have drank to much you are only endangering your-
. self and maybe .some dog or ra. coon that quickly passes in front of you. Not that I don't think the life of a dog or racoon is important, it is, butitis just not quite the
. same as endangering the lives· of other humans.
All in all drinking to the point of losing control of yourself can almost never produce anything but trouble and a hell of a hangover the next da . It is ave bad
habit A friend of mine is attempting
tofightanotherbadhabitandthat is smoking. I wish him well. I have never gotten very far on any of my efforts ~ break the habit which I started some 23 years ago.
And I certainly remember all the resolutions, New Years or otherwise, when I said "no more Marlboros for me. n
I remember once thinking of how much money I spent on my habit as I watched the price of packkeeprisinginthestatesuntil now in some machines you pay $1. 75. And every year when state legislators start looking around for something to increase taxes on for more funding some one, probably a- non-smoker; .. says. "let's increase the tax on cigarettes." When I get back to the states the price of a pack will probably have climbed to $2.00.
But all these bad habits are hard to break. I am not one who
_believes _it_ is sin:iply a case of weak will power if you can't stop smoking or if you can't be a socially responsible drinker.
While I think the above I also

know the final hard work to stop a bad habit will always rest with the person indulging in that habit But in most cases help and support from others is needed in some way however small
Like my friend who is stopping smoking, I try to say "good job" and support his decision. And even if he fails, which I hope he doesn't, if he comes to me again and says he is going to stop smoking, I will not laugh and tease him and say "oh, no not again." I will believe that he will make just the way I believe he will make t.'lis time. And if lie · -tries to quit a lOOtimes,each time I will say "goodjob" and tell him he has made a wise decision.
This column is just about how bad-habits are not all'ihere'ls1oo .; a person. People remain worthwhile regardless of habits they have picked up over the years.
. We, us with those bad habits, appreciate your tolerance of us, and we hope when we attempt to breakc:our: bad,,habits you. will . give us your support and understanding and not your contempt or ridicule.

Influx Of Illegal Workers Worry Japanese TOKYO (AP)_ A wealth of
job opportunities is luring tens of thousands of South and Southeast Asians to Japan, forcing this once isolated nation to cope with the problem of migrant labor.
More than half the foreigners working at companies investigated by the Labor Ministry between Oct. 16 and Nov. 16 were found to be working illegally, a recent report showed.
Poor working.conditions and the risk of deportation haven't discouraged the wave of workers from less wealthy Asian nations, nor have wages that are low by Japanese . standards although, because of the· strong yen, higfi in the foreign workers' own countries.
The Japanese government, so far, has responded to the surge in foreign labor with plans to open its doors wider to foreign professionals. But it has reaffirmed a ban on manual laborers, provoking a national debate over the merits of internationalizing Japan's closed society.
While government and private groups study the problem, the influx ofillegal foreign workers continues to grow.
In 1987, the Labor Ministry deported 11,307 foreigners for working illegally. In the first half of this year, Japanese police and immigration authorities arrested 7,196 foreigners for working illegally, up from 5,802 in the first half of 1987.
But those numbers compare with police estimates that about 70,000 illegal foreign workers are in Japan.

21st Century predicted that Japan will face a shortage of2. 7 million workers by the year 2000 if current economic trends continue.
The council recommended that Japan accept unskilled and semi-skilled foreign workers and suggested establishment of a system to prevent exploitation of "guest workers."
Numerous commentaries also have urged that Japan welcome its less affluent.neighbors.
'Tu Japan, we don't accept political asylum and we turn our backs on immigrants. Maybe, in the short run, this is a wise policy
. in avoiding pr.oblems, However, can we say this policy is right ·
over the long run?" wrote commentator Yunosuke Ohkura in The Japan Times.
Noting that Japanese believe they are "unique and therefore superior," Mitsunobu s·ugiyama of the University of Tokyo said in a recent article in the Japan Quarterly that "constant contact with the people of other nations on this very personal level would do much to open Japanese eyes and help them better understand the rest of the world."
A recent report by a Labor Ministry advisory panel, however, concluded that foreign manual laborers were. undesir~ able. Their unfamiliarity with
Fewer Bird Types Found In Count
By Tom Anderson Managing Editor Forty species of birds were
counted last weekend in the Audubon Society's annual bird count for the Northern Marianas Island on Saipan.
The number of species was down from the count oflast year, but Jim Reichel, of Fish and Wildlife, attributed the decrease to the fact the count last year was made during the peak of the migration period and that this year's count was made during the end of the migration period.
Not only were species counted, but the number of individual birds also. Riechel said,
Tuesday, that he had not yettotalled up the numbers but his preliminary review showed no drastic change in the bird population on Saipan.
Around 25 perS-Ons helped in the bird count, counting seabirds from such spots as Bird Island and Banzi Cliffs and counting ducks on Lake Susupe.
Reichel said five species of ducks were seen this year and that was an increase from the number of species spatted in last year's count.
To attract the birds, Reichel said, taping recordings of bird calls were used in some areas with greatsuccess.

To The Staff of the CHC: We would like to publically
thank all the staff of the CHC for the past two years. Despite many adjustmci:nts and difficulties, you have made our time on Saipan a very memorable one. Recently there has been several negative public statements regarelmg the CHC; while we do realize that problems exist, we also feel strongly that the health care delivery of the CHC has improved greatly in the past two years and further progress is being made. Additional improvement can occur,_but not through negative comments, but by positive plans of action. The latter is always more difficult to obtain than the first, and must involve all the people of the CNMI.
We have met many very fine professionals that currently work at the CHC. Staff that would be welcomed in any health care facility in the United States. We ask the people of the CNMI to please support these people and let them assist the development of a better health care system for the people of the CNMI.
902 Talks Ready To Start Here

Manglona said many of the same items discussed in previous talks will once again be taken up in the current talks. lfowever, it is expected Dun1oj> will bring with her papers which express the view of various U.S. government agencies on issue of dispute between the U.S. and the Commonwealth.
Manglona added. that should he begin to feel that all the discussion 1betwcen the U.S. and the Commonwealth in the 902 talks were not truly leading ·to any real solutions, he would support having some to the issue decide by the courts.

Coral Point. To Host Growth Conference Of Pacific Group
From Coral Ocean Point Media Consultant Development on Saipan in
recent years has stirred up a booming economy which has in turn created many jobs, built homes and put · new cars on Saipan's roads.
But the pace of development has also left local power, water and road systems· far ·behind_· Growth far beyond what was expected only a few years ago, has strained everything from the local health care system to public beaches and coral reefs. ·
"Who Pays for Growth" is the question and the title for a conference which will get underway Monday at Coral Ocean Point Country Club. More than three dozen off-island conferees are to participate, including some from areas such as Hawali and Florida which have experienced similar development
The 6th Annual Pacific Basin Coastal Zone Management Conference, sponsored by the CNMI Coastal Resources Management Office and the Commonwealth DevelopmentAuthority, is being held on Saipan for the second time.
Increasingly, local governments and planners are attempting to determine the costs to the public of development, so that they may be borne by developers, rather than the public. Taxation, "impact" fees and requirements that public improvements be made are some of the ways this may be done.
The Conference site itself, Coral Ocean Point Country Club, is an example of the contributions a major development can make as the result of government-private negotiations_
The Marianas Public Land Corporation lease for the 73.5 hectares of public land on which the resort is located, includes requirements for annual increases in the lease fees and a large percentage of local hire employees.
The Coastal Resources Man-
BE SURE TO SAVE POWER & AVOID OUTAGES!!

agement permit for the project was the result of a comprehensive review of the public resources in the area_
Involvement of personnel from the Department of Natural Resources led to plans to set aside and protect a turtle nesting beach and to enhance bird species by restoring native fruit trees, seedbearing and flowering plants and shrubs long since overrun by the introduced tangan tangan. Historic sites within the area have been preserved and will be marked and interpreted to make them more available to the public.
Public access to beaches in the area, already guaranteed under the Commonwealth Constitution, will also be much
improved under conditions of the CRM permit. Work is currently underway on improvements which will include construction of shelters, barbecue pits, picnic tables, toilets and other public facilities, including new access roads for fishermen.
Life is not always smooth from the developer's point of view however. Original government projections indicated that pubiic water and power would be available to Coral Ocean Point by the time it opened, but that hasn'l happened, requiring that the club continue to provide for its own power and water, greatly adding to the cost of the $30 million project. the facility is 100 percent self-sufficient, until public utility service becomes available.

PUBLIC NOTICE Although the Commonwealth Utili1ies Corporation has been in effect since July, 1988, you are just now being charged the appropriate amount mandated by Jaw to make the water delivery system self sufficient. For your information the water rates are published below:
Water Rate:
a. For residential commercial and government customers: First 3,000 gallons - 0_50/1000 gallons Above 3,000 & up to 15,000 gallons - $1-20/1000 gals. Above 15,001 & up to 30,000 gals. - $1.50/1000 gals. Above 30,001 & up to 60,000 gals_ - $1.75/1000 gals. Above 60,001 gals. - $2.00/lBOO gallons
Monthly charge for water services are the minimum monthly charge for size of service connection plus water consumed. In the event no water is consumed the minimum monthly charge is the size of service connection.
Please notice that these rates arc designed to discourage any waste of water. As the amount of water used goes up so does lhe price per gallon. This way large businesses pay their proportionate share and the small people are not subsidizing big businesses.
Should you discover an error in your billing please contact the CUC billing personnel - preferably when you come in to pay your bill.

Boy Dies In· Pool By Tom Anderson Managing Editor A tragic accident at the Chalan
Koan Beach Club claimed the life of an eight year old Japanese boy here on Saipan on vacation with his parents.
Capt. Antonio Reyes of DPS said the boy had apparently wandered away from his mother who was watching over him at poolside.
The father was at the beach in front of the club when the mother
noticed the boy was missing. The boy, Takehiro Saki was
found at the bottom of the pool which has a depth of some seven feet.
Efforts to revive him were not successful and at 4:06 on Jan. 2 he was pronounced dead from drawing.
Capt. Reyes said no life gaurd was on duty at the pool , but that guest are warned by a sign that they swim at their own risk.The sign is in Japanese, said Reyes.
Local residents have been invited by the Management of Pacific Islands Club to tour the new facility.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS RFP NO. 8812
December 24, 1988
The Commonwealth Utilities Corporation (CUC) is requesting proposals from qualified firm for a data processing system including hardware and software (system), that meets the requirements outlined in the request for proposal (RFP) guidelines and specifications.
This RFP presents information relating to CDC's. cu1:1'ent system, vision of the ideal system, firm response gmdelmes, and specific application requirements.
Currently CUC processes utility billings on a Wang VS5. The system consist of one console, three work stations, and one printer. Additionally, the Corporation has two IBM PS2, one IBM AT, two IBM compatible Cedars PC and two Wang PC. Accounts payable, accounts receivables, general ledger and financial reporting are not computerized.
CUC visualizes a completely integrated utility billing, accounting, and word processing system. The system will replace the Wang VSS and will be effective and serviceable for at least five years. It is also envision that the investment in PC's will function as work stations. The system must accommodate the volumes that are outlined in this RFP plus a reasonable amount of growth. Additionally, the system must be able to interface with hand held meter reading devices, and optical code printing and reading equipment.
CUC is favorably considering the newly announced IBM AS/400 computer series. Accordingly, it is the Corporation's desire to initially limit consideration to an integrated software system that will ultimately or initially be compatible with the operating system of the AS/400 series. Therefore, to be considered in this RFP any software must presently be operating successfully on either the IBM System 36, IBM System 38, or the IBM System AS/400.
The major benefit from a new system will be improved customer service in relation to response time and accuracy. To accomplish this will require that historical billing and payment history is on-line and the system is easy to use and reliable. We expect the system will also increse employee efficiency and improve accounting and statistical accuracy.
RFP guidelines and specifications may be obtained from the Office of the Executive Director, CUC after January 9, 1989.
Proposal shall be submitted to the Office of Procurement and Supply, Government of the Northern Mariana Islands, Lower Base, Saipan, MP 96950 at 2:00 p.m. local time, on February 15, 1989.
CUC reserves the right to reject any and all proposals for any reason and to waive any defect in said proposals, or any of them, if in its sole opinion to do so would be in its interest. All proposals shall become the prorierty of CUC.
All inquiries shall be directed to Mr. Pedro Sasamoto, Executive Director of CUC at telephone numbers (670) 322-4313/4314.

World Champion Liar Jokes About Drought
BURLINGTON, Wis. (AP)_ A retiree's dry sense of humor about the 1988 drought has earned him the title World Champion Liar.
Roy Griesbach, a former home builder, received the honor this week from the Burlington Liar's Club, which has been handing out the annual award for more lhan half a century.
His winning lie: "The weather was so dry this past summer that the only water one
.could buy was dehydrated in 16-ounce packages."
Sheree Bykofsky of New York CiJy received an honorable mention for a lie that she admitted was about herself: "Last summer my-wife spent so much
money in the shops of Woodstock, N.Y., that they have renamed the town Out-of-Stock."
The dry weather led some people to send lies that have been heard before, club Vice President Don Reed said.
One of the most common repeaters was, "The drought was so bad that the trees were chasing the dogs."
In the interest of maintaining its amateur standing, the liar's club has one rule: no politicians. 'They're professionals," Reed said.
"We used to bar journalists," he added. "But we feel journalism has changed. They tell the truth most of the time."
Stopping the ball at the net is one of the best ways to defense a spike in the game of volleyball.
