Radio personality Danielle Tuckerpleads guilty to selling cocaine
HONOLULU (AP) • Radio personality Danielle Tucker pleadedguilty Friday to five counts ofselling cocaine and one morecount of attempting to sell thedrug.
Tucker, 41, was arrested threeyears ago and charged with selling an ounce of cocaine to anundercover police officer.
At the time, she faced a mandatory 20 year prison sentence, butGov. John Waihee this year signeda new law that allows judges toinstead give 10 years' probationto certain first-time drug pushers.

Mitchell however insisted inhis motion, which will be heardon August 17 at 9:00 a.m., th~the malapportionrrl'ent of the upper house was a political dealwhich he described as unfair andunconstitutional.
"All future generations of thecommonwealth should not beburdened with this injustice," hesaid. "To eliminatethis ...discrimination would notdestabilize the commonwealth.To continue it almost certainlywill," he warned.
If the Superior Court wouldreconsider its decision and rulein favor of Sablan on the "oneperson, one vote" principle; special elections for the Senatewould have to be held to "correct" the malapportionment.
tute the largest portion of medicalreferral costs.
In fiscal year 1993 alone,SHARP referral patients incurredalmost $3.75 million in professional fees.
Other major cost componentsincluded patient and escort transportation costs, hotel accommodations, and subsistence allowances.
In fiscal year 1993, the CNMIgovernment spent approximately
. $700,000 for transportation, hotels, and subsistence allowanceson SHARP referrals alone, according to the report.
Last January 28, DPHS Director Isamu J. Abraham terminatedits agreement with SHARPeffectiveJuly 1,1994.
The SHARP agreement, whichwas essentially a cost reimbursementcontract withoutafixed priceceiling, accumulated more than$8.3 million in medical referralcosts as of January 1994.
The huge cost involved wasapparently one ofthe reasons whyAbraham asked for the termination of the agreement.
Another reason cited, sourcesaid, was that the DPH did nothave an assurance that the totalcost was properly incurred because DPH did not conduct utilization review procedures.
Utilization review is now a standard control procedure on healthcare providers. Under this procedure, DPH could have hired ahealth professional to reviewmedical referral billings to ensurethat only those medical servicesrequested to be performed on referral patients are rendered by thehealth care provider.
At present, Abraham said theDPH is evaluating several proposals from other health care providers to take the place ofSHARP.No particular health care providerhowever, has been chosen. Negotiations are still under wa

tion of the legislative branches ofthe United States and the CNMIare not analogous. The Covenantdid not involve the formation of aunion among distinct politicalentities and that Rota and Tinianwere not distinct political entities, he said.
He added that the two islandshad no sovereignty to concede.Even if they had, the CNMI government is not, itself, a federalsystem with a central government and subordinate politicalunits like states in a federal system, he said.
Judge Castro has ruled thatchanging the Senate by judicialorder would be "impractical andanomalous" based on the determination made on the issue of"one person, one vote."
government to shoulder all costsincurred by patients who are referred to off-island treatment facilities.
Under the CHC's existing setup, referral patients are not required to pay anything. All medical bills are paid by the government except for the portion covered by private insurance or bythe Medicare or Medicaid program.
Transportation and hotel costsare also shouldered by the government. A patient is also entitledto beaccompanied by an escort, ifhis or her medical condition warrants personal care and assistance.
Referral patients and their escorts are entitled to a daily subsistence allowance of $20 each. Onthe other hand, local patientstreated at the CHC have to pay fortheir own medical costs.
Source said according to thereport's analysis, the situationonly encourages patients to insiston getting referred to avoid payment of medical costs.

"Given these authorities, therecan be no doubt that the right toequal voting power is a fundamental right, in the internationalsense," his motion said.. The court's application of theInsular Cases doctrine was incorrect, according to Sablan. Heclaimed the "implicit teaching"used by the court did not exist.
The Reynolds court did not sayor hold that the federal government was fundamentally democratic, he said. Rather the prevailing opinion has been that a statelegislature modelled on the federal congress was "categoricallydiscriminatory."

By the end of fiscalyear 1993,costs related to SHARP referralstotaled $6.9 million or almost 30percent of the total medical referral costs.
It was also noted that in thisfiscal year, SHARP referral costwas 51 percent of total medicalreferral cost.
"Contrary to sound fiscal management practice, the DPH didnot have any program evaluationorcost study todetermine whetherthe SHARP medical referral contract had delivered the needed
.medical service in a prudent andcdst effective manner," sourcesaid quoting the audit report.
Based on the average medicalreferral costs for the past threefiscal years, the source stressedthat the government will againincur a huge deficit in its medicalreferral budget for the current fisccal year.
With an annual average ofabout$7.6 million, the report indicatesthat medical referral costs willexceed the proposed medical referral budget of $2.9 million forfiscal year 1994 by about $4.7million.

The court added that the USSenate was not formed based onthe "one person, one vote" rule,rather it was organized based onasystem that provides equal representation to States with widelydifferent populations. Otherwise,he said, there would have been noUnion of 50 states if leaders ofeach state insisted on "one person, one vote" principle. He alsofound such right not to be "fundamental in international sense."
Atty. Theodore R. Mitchell,counsel for Sablan, argued in hismotion for reconsideration thatsuch a phrase was coined "to saythat it included...personal rightswhich are the basis of all freegovernment."
He said the court must look forthe standards of human rightswhich are recognized as basic andfundamental, in the internationalsense. Mitchell was referring tothe personal rights embodied inthe UN Declaration of HumanRights which states among othersthat "All are equal before the lawand are entitled without discrimination to equal protection of thelaw .....

Sablan earlier claimed that thecomposition of the commonwealth Senate is unconstitutionalbecause it is "malapportioned."He said since about 90% of thepeople of the CNMI are residentsof'Saipan, then the most populousisland must be represented byeight senators while the islands ofTinian and Rota must be represented by one.
The existing equal representation in Senate does not only violate the principle of "one person,one vote" but also violate his rightto equal protection of the laws asguaranteed by the FourteenthAmendment of the US Constitution, he claimed
Castro ruled that based on theimplicit teaching of the Reynoldscourt, "the bicameral systemwhere one house givesequal representation to politicalsubdivisions with disparate populationlevels can be democratic wherethe apportionment is necessary toform a union among distinct political entities which otherwisewould not be willing to concedesovereignty to a central government."
In making the judgment, thecourt cited the history of the poIItical union ofthe CNM I with theUnited States. Rota and Tinianhad refused to join then proposedcommonwealth, fearing thatSaipan might dominate them. So

It was a bold but doomed enterprise, done in by a Soviet decisionnot to back the resistance fightersup. When it ended two monthslater, 200,000 Poles were dead including Kuratowska' s boyfriend - and the city was in ruins.
She wept bitterly when the uprising ended. Soon after, she andher mother were huddled in afreight car as the Nazis shipped700,000 people out of the city.
Half a century later, Poles areholding solemn ceremonies andmaking sure the younger generations know what happened.
