ONLY the people of the CNMI can ask the United States to grant independence to the Northern Marianas, and Lt. Gov. Jesus C. Borja yesterday said he can't see

that happening. Most of the local residents

would prefer that the CNMI remain in political union with the Unites States, Borja said, reacting to Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio's statement Wednesday on an in-

dependent Northern Marianas. "It's his personal opinion, and

it should stay that way-it is not the opinion of a majority of the people," Borja, who is running against Tenorio, said.

LIEUTENANT Governor Jesus C. Borja yesterday said the legislators' concern on the growing number of children born to nonresidents in the CNMI is valid, but added that the bill that would limit the stay of the 30,000 alien workers is not the remedy.

"I don't think it's the right step," Borja said, referring to House Bill I 0-136, which is currently being

AOL description of NMI irks Tenorio

Froilan C. Tenorio

IT has gone on-line. First, there was the Washing

ton Post bashing the CNMI. Then the Readers Digest.

Now it's America Online. Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio was

outraged with an AOL article in which the CNMI was described to have "the highest rate of personal violence of any country in the world, triple that of the US."

Describing the article as "slanderous," Tenorio has fired off an

angry letter to Stephen M. Caes, President and CEO of AOL after spotting a description of the CNMI on the service's "International Channel."

"Because of AOL's willingness to post site information that presents a distorted picture about the Northern Mariana Islands, I believe that your company has harmed the reputation and character of these islands and our

public' make it clear to Congress that his "request" for an independent or a freely associated state status is his (Tenorio) opinion alone.

Borja, at the same, reiterated that CNMI should pursue negotiations with the Clinton administration through the Covenant Section 902 talks.

"We should state our position in a reasonable and cogent manner," he said.

Tenorio' s "attitude," Borja said, "is, 'If you make me angry I'll take the marbles and go home.'

"But we're adults, and we should sit down, negotiate and try to arrive at a compromise."

In a media conference Wednesday, Tenorio said if the Clinton administration continues to insist on the federalization of the CNMI's immigration and minimum wage policies, he would ask Congress to grant independence or a "freely associated state" status to the Northern Marianas.

He said the CNMI will survive being independent, but not with

Victim.'s kin com.es to crash site ready to dig up loved one

By Frank M. Eliptico For the Variety

GUAM-While other family members of the Flight 80 I victims were grieving at a distant local hotel, Song Ki Yul came within two miles of the crash site ready to dig.

"They 're taking too long to find the body of my wife's brother, Yul said. "I am prepared to find him myself."

Yul's brother-in-law, Cho Kue Young, was one of the passengers

of the ill-fated Korean Air flight 80 I that crashed early Wednesday morning in Guam. His body is still one of the 155 bodies still missing. He was 28 years old.

"I don't care what I find, even if it is only parts of his body," Yul said. "I just want to bring him home."

Yul arrived at dawn at the first stop point when guards denied his entrance to a dirt road leading to the crash site.

Barefoot and dressed in Army fatigue clothing, Yul had showed up with a refrigerated box in his pick-up truck, a shovel as well as other tools, insect repellant spray, and several Korean swear words he ~arelessly threw at the military guards.

"Government of Guam is no good, Navy is no good, system is no good," Yu chanted. "If they moved faster, they would have saved more passengers."

Yul learned of the crash while watching television, ani.J then calleu his brother-in-law's wife in Korea to confim1 that Young was on the crashed plane.

As afternoon drew near yesterday, thousands of volunteers, military personnel and government officials have been manning the rescue operations for the past two days.

Every one has his and her own story to tell.

Military Personnel "I had just finished working on

a project late Tuesday evening so they told me I can sleep in a little late. Next thing I knew I was out here in the middle of a plane crash," said Steve Ball, military spokesperson.

Thecrashsitewasmuddy,slippery and dark as hell.

"The plane was still burning. Some of the survivors were walk -ing out of the crash and they immediately received medical help," LL Commander James Lehner said.

It was a significant groap effort of the Navy, Army, National Guard, Coast Guard who worked

,together. Rescuers had to dig through the

People clapped when rescuers pulled out a 6-year-old sUivivor from under 5 tons of debris.

"It was a miracle. She was asking for her mom right away, and we had found her. lt was so emo'.tional, I hope I get a chance to see them at the Naval Hospital," said Search and Rescue Medivac Lt. Troy Anderson. ·

"We live right on the hill above the crash site, so the plane had just missed us. We had about 15phone calls from people worrying about us," said Nimitz Hill resident Linda Guerrero who also has family members here on Saipan.

"I volunteered to help out at the Army Salvation tent. The need was there and I was available. We provided food and drinks to the working crews an:! volunteers," said Trans-World Radio employee Doris McIntyre.

EDITORIAL On the statehood idea GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio 's pronouncements the other day espousing NMI independence frnm the United States or the starus of a freely associated republic as '"lesser evil alternatives" to a federal takeover of immigration has elicited quite a reaction from other CNMI leaders.

Speaker Diego T. Benavente quickly labeled it as "going against the wishes e,f the people."

Senate Vice President Paul A. Mang\ona,ontheotherhand, said the governor was being "childish again."

Lt. Go~. Jesus C. B;,ja, Tenorio' s opp::ment in the upcoming three-cornered gucematorial elections succinctly puts Tenorio 's proposal as one that should be kept to oneself owing to its impracticality.

The reactions of Borja and the two legislative leaders are understandable conside1ing that what Teno1io touched on is ··sacred ground."Touching on the CNMl 's political status, much less advocating a change on it, is like "striking a raw nerve:· so to speak.

Then~ is no doubt that the people of tl1e CNMJ value its relationship with the US under the Covenant as pedmps the best thing that happened to this once sleepy isles.

Saipan grew as one of the most dynamic island economies in the region, not unlike it~ neighbor dm\11 south, Guam.

The special relationship just made everything seem possible for the CNMI-local immigration contrnl stimulated the growth of dependable industries like tourism and g31ment business; duty-free and quota free entry of CNMI expo1ts to the US gave local manufacturers a boost and a steady business; local control of wage, labor 311d taxation policies tremendously bolstered the investment climate and the islands' revenue-genernting capabilities has been improved, owing to the special federal-commonwealth relationship.

More importantly, the relationship gave the people of the CNMI U.S. citizenship and with it, the benefit.; that come with beinganationalofthe greatest country of the world.

That is why when Gov. Tenorio talked of independence, of severing relations with the US and of becoming a separnte republic, impassioned critics immediately came forth.

Butseningpoliticsaside, it appears the govemor'sreasoning may actually be making sense. ·

It must be remembered that Mr. Tenorio made the proposal out of frustrntion overwhat he te1med as the continued, unf airciiticism by the federal government of the CNMI government.

He disclosed his plan taking into consideration the impending move by the Clinton Administration and US Congress to effect a federal takeover of local immi!!rJtion and wage control.

He "appe31, to be "making sense when he said the CNMJ can have cetter chances of economic sUivival being independent of the U.S., than remaining attached to·the U.S. but losing immigration control. ·

It is very evident how the govemorbclievcs the CNMI canslm1d upon iL,0\111 two fed. ~ven without the lJ.S.

What he is b,Lsically saying is tl1at ,Ls long ,Ls the CNMI can still b1ing in the necJcd workel'S. the economy cm withstm1d being '"i11dqxndcn1:·

In this 1egm·d, the governor is speaking from a very practical standpoinL lftl1e u.S. will insist on a feder;~ wkcoverof immigration and minimum wage, then might as well '"set the CN"MI fn:e.'·

T,ue. the governor's propos,,l is something that could be very drastic and unpopul;u·. It may be one thatc,m cause people towonyoverwhatthc future can hold for them.

Will it rcqui,e them to give up U.S.citi?.enship? Will investors, businessmen. ,mti c;~r, 1.ou1isL, still come here if the CNMI is no longer U.S. soil?

FRANKLY; I~ NOT

OPPOSED TO EITHER PARTY'S

TAX-cur PACKAGE.

Of grace and pressure ERNEST Hemingway, one of the most influential American writers in history, would have turned 98 last July 21st.

To celebrate his birth anniversary, some of his admirers flocked to Key West, Florida for this year's Hemingway Festival where they caroused, got drunk and chose who among them looks most like Hemingway, the "six feet tall, huge chested, handsome, ebullient, warrior, hunter, fisherman, drinker" who wrote some of this century's greatest works of literature.

It was the festival's 17th year and, according to Associated Press, it almost didn't happen.

Saying that the organizers were using the family name without paying any licensing fee, the three sons of the 1954 Nobel Laureate for Literature demanded IO percent of the profits. .

The original organizer quit, but someone else bought rights to the festival which was held as scheduled d;spilc the unsettled legal dispute with I !cmingway's sons.

Asked to explain the '"secret" of the festival's continued success, this year's winner of the look-alike contest said Hemingway's mystique remains overwhelming.

"(He) was somebody a lot of people would like to be," Bart Barton told AP. "He did so many things. He traveled so many places. He lived life fully."

He was also a suicide but, and no doubt more impo11ant, he wrote incredibly well.

Already a celebrity in his 30s, Hemingway was one of those few bestselling authors wl10se works have achieved canonical status. (On July l st. 1945, the number I bestselling novel in the U.S. was "A Lion is in the Streets," by Adria Locke Langlc.:y. Ever heard of her?)

Like any other great fictionists, he invented his own style, but his lean, simple, clear and crisp prose emerged at a time when writers were still churning out florid verbosities.

In the classic ··The Elements of Style," E.B. White discussed style by contrasting the following brief passages from Hemingway aml his contemporary, William Faulkner, dealing with one subject-languor.

Herc's f'aulkner: "He uid not still feel weak, he was merely luxuri

:lling in that supremely gutful lassitude of convalescence in which time, hu1Ty, doing, did not exist, the accumulating seconds and minutes .and hours to which in its well state the body is slave both waking and, sleeping, now reversed and time now the lip-

server and mendicant to the body's pleasure instead of the body thrall to time's headlong course."

As White noted, there is nothing eccentric llbout the above construction, and Faulkner is, undoubtedly, one of the most important writers of this century.

But here's how Hemingway-who, by the way, considered Faulkner a "bourbon-soaked verbalizer"-wrote about his character's languor:

"Manuel drank his brandy. He felt sleepy himself. It was too hot to go out into town. Besides there was nothing to do. He wanted to see Zurito. He would go to sleep while he waited."

In creating what would be known as Hemingway prose, Hemingway stripped language to its essentials, cutting all unnecessary words. It was simplicity, but one forged out of complexity, and it throbbed with what one critic calleJ '"an intense virility." It was "stark, objective. 'unliterary.'"

He used few adjectives and adverbs-the writer's '"enemies," as Ciore Vidal would put it much laterand used concrete nouns and verbs. His prose's, at times, flat and even monotonous cadence was new music.

Not surprisingly, he became one of the most imitated writers; he was found "easy" to imitate.

But, says the English writer Anthony Burgess (of "A Clockwork Orange" fame), "the kind of rattledoff typewriterese (supposedly a la Hemingway) has little to do with the terse style of his best books, a medium he slaved to perfect over years of poverty and ascetic dedication."

Journalists adore him, or-seeing how some news writers' copies arc nowadays-at least used to.

Aside from writing short stories an:.\ novels, Hemingway was a c01Tcspondent who covered the Spanish Civil War and the liber;1tion of France during World War II. His dispatches remain very readable and compelling.

Herc's how one of his reports started: '"Valencia, Spain-As our Air France plane from

Toulouse new down over the business section of Barcelona, the streets were empty. It looked as quiet as downtown New Yark on a Sunday morning.

"A trimotor bomber had just come over, with two pursuit piancs as escort, and had dropped its load of bombs on the town, killing seven and wounding thirty-four."

The piece was one of the articles in an anthology used as a textbook when I was a freshman in college, and it was my first encounter with Hemingway.

A FRIEND brought to my attention that the visit of the U.S. Commission on Immigrntion Reform has caused concern because it is seen as in being the hip pocket of the Dcpru1ment of Interior and likely to be prejudiced against the current immi6•ration system in the CNMI.

Representing an independent public interest organization that has worked withtheCommission, I would like to assure your readers that is a false impression. My organization,

Except for a few shipwreck survivors, there were no Filipinos residing in the Northern Marianas in the I 600s. Those who were here were either soldiers or lay helpers who served the Catholic mission and Spanish colonial

government. There was never a settiementoffilipinos in Laulau, San Vicente or any other village in the Northern Marianas.

I would like tosetthe record straight. The Division of Historic Preservation is not involved with any attempts to get a street named in honor of Andres Bonifacio. Idonoteven know who Andres Bonifacio was or what role he played in the history of the Northern Marianas. In fact, I do not think Mr. Bonifacio ever touched our soil much less resided here. Consequently, I do· not understand the rationale or significance of naming a street in Saipan after him.

At the request of the Mayor's office, the Division of Historic Preser-

vation prepared and ;ubmitted a list of notable Chamorros and Carolinians from the past and traditional place designations to be considered asnamesforstreetsonSaipan. This is the limit of our involvement with street naming project and i.t had nothing to do with assistance extended to the Philippine Consulate.

I suggest that the Tribune require its reporters to verify statements before they appear in print in order to increase the accurncy and quality of its "news" accounts.

Sincerely,

JOSEPH P. DELEON GUERRERO

Thanks to the Friends of Library Dear F.di tor:

RECENTLY the Friends of the Joeten-Kiyu Library invited the public librJ.ries on Tinian and Rota to come to Saipan and look at the tl1ousandsofbooks that had been donated during the current book drive.

AstheDirectoroftheNMC/Public Library on Tinian, I eagerly accepted the invitation and selected more than 400muchneededbooksforoursma1I library.

All of us who care about education andlibrJ.riesaregratefultotheFriends for the hard work and service to the community that they have shovm during this book drive.

In addition to raising money and · providing reading material to the pub-

lie, this project has helped build the collections of tl1e Tinian and Rota librJ.ries.

These librnries need donated books because very little money has been budgeted for new book purchases. And the staff of the J oeten-Ki yu Public Library deserves our thanks as well.

Unlike many administrators whq have forgotten about the CNMI taxpayers living on Tinian and Rota, Public Libnuy Di1ector Paul Steere · has generously shared the donated books with all the people of the Commonwealth. And Librari,m Wendy Sullivan has shovm dedication above the beyond the call fo duty in helping the underserved Tinian ,md Rout Li-

brruies. To cite one of many examples, she

took four hours on her day off to help me pack ;md list the 16 boxes of books tliat were being sent to Tinian.

The book drive is still going on. Civic-minded citizens have until October to help the Friends gather more books. If the recent past is any indication, the people of the Northern Marianas will come through and do what they can to help. Again, thank you to the people, the Friends of the Jocten-Kiyu Library and the Pacific Li brdl)' sr.aff.

EDITORIAi_, On the statehood idea GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio 's pmnouncements the other day espousing NM1 indep:-ndence from the United States or the sran.is of a freely associated republic as ··Jesser evil alternatives" to a federal takeover of immigration has elicited quite a reaction from otherCNMI leaders.

Speaker Diego T. Benavente quickly labeled it as ·•going against the wishes e,f the people.""

Senate Vice President Paul A. Manglona, on the other hand, said the governor was being "'childish again."

Lt. Go~. Jesus C. B~1ja Tenorio' s opponent in the upcoming three-cornered gubernatorial elections succinctly puts Tenorio 's proposal as one that should be kept to oneself owing to its impracticality.

The reactions of Borja and the two legislative leaders are understandable considering that what Tenorio touched on is ··sacred ground." Touching on the CJ\lv!Ts political starus, much less advocating a change on it, is like "'striking a raw nerve:· so to speak.

There is no doubt that the people of the CNMI value its relationship with the US under the Covenant as perhaps the best thing that happened to this once sleepy isles.

Saipan g:iew as one of the most dyrnunic island economies in the region, not unlike it:i neiehbor do\,11 south, Guam.

The speci,tl relationship just made everything seem possible for the CNMI-local immigration comm! stimulated the growth of dependable industries like tomism and gairnent business: duty-free and quota fire entry of CNMI exports to the US gave local manufactmers a boost and a steady business; local control of wage. labor and ta.xation policies tremendously bolsten.:d the investment climate and the islands' revenue-generJting capabilities has been improved, owing to the special federal-commonwealth relationship.

More importantly. the relationship gave the people of the CNMI U.S. citizenship and with it, the benefit; that come with being a national of the greatest couniry of the world.

That is why when Gov. Tenorio talked of independence, of severing relations with the US and of becoming a separate republic, impassioned critics immediately can1e forth.

But setting politics u.,ide. it appears the governor's reasoning may acrually be making sense. ·

It must be remembered that Mr. Tenorio made the pmposal out of frustration over what he tern1ed as tl1e continued. unfair criticism by the federal government of tl1e CNMI government.

He disclosed his plan taking into considerntion the impending move by the Clinton Adminisu~ttion and US Congress to effect a federal takeover of local immigration arn.J wage control.

He ~appe,u, to be ';,,aking sense when he said the CNM! can have better ch,mces of economic survival bcing independent of tl1e U.S., than remaining attached to-the U.S. but losing immigration conu'OI. ·

It is verv evident how the go~·emor believes the CNMI can stand upon iL, own two kct. ~w1~ without the lJ.S.

Whal he is IXLsically sayinz2 is that ,Ls long ,LS tl1c CNMI can still b1ing in tl1c needed \10rke1,. the economy Gm witl1stand being "'independent.""

In tl1is teg:u·<l. tl1e governor is s~aking from a vc,y practical standpoint. Ifthe U.S. will insist on a fedcr,~ wk.:ovcrof immigration and minimum wage, then might ,L, well '"set the CNMI free ...

T,ue. tl1e govemrn·"s propos,il is something that could l;c very drastic mid unpopul:u·. It may be one that can cause ~oplc to wony over what the future can hold for tlx:m.

Will it require tl1cm to give up U.S. citizenship')Will investor,, businessmen, anu c.-cri tourists still come here iftl1c CNMI is no longer U.S. soil~

And if these people don ·1 cor,1c, wil! the economy su1vivc? Will there be businesses left to raise the needed revenues. W i 11 the economy bc su·ong enough :Ls to rcyuirc alien workc1,'?

'Jl1esc ,m: the questions tl1at need to be ,Lsked ,md tl1at which the governor should fin<l ,ui,;wc,, to himself.

Otl1crwise, advocating something against tl1e st.atus quo may just be too much of the ixopk to lxar.

FRA~KLY1 I~ NOT

OPPoSED TO SITHER PARTY'S

TAX-CUT PACK'A6E.

Of grace and pressure ERNEST Hemingway, one of the most influential American writers in history, would have turned 98 last July 21st.

To celebrate his birth anniversary, some of his admirers flocked to Key West, Florida for this year's Hemingway Festival where they caroused, got drunk and chose who among them looks most like Hemingway, the "six feet tall, huge chested, handsome, ebullient, warrior, hunter, fisherman, drinker" who wrote some of this century's greatest works of literature.

It was the festival's 17th year and, according to Associated Press, it almost didn't happen.

Saying that the organizers were using the family name without paying any licensing fee, the three sons of the 1954 Nobel Laureate for Literature demanded IO percent of the profits ..

1l1e original organizer quit, but someone else bought rights to the festival which was held as scheduled <l;spite the unsettled legal dispute with Hemingway's sons.

Asked to explain the ··secret'" of the festival's continued success, this year's winner of the look-alike contest said Hemingway's mystique remains overwhelming.

'"(He) was ;omcbo<ly a lot of people would like to be," Bart Barton told AP. "'He did so many things. He traveled so many places. He lived life fully."

He was also a suicide but, and no doubt more important. he wrote incredibly well.

Already a celebrity in his30s. Hemingway was one of those few bestselling authors wlwse works have achieved canonical status. (On July 1st, 1945, the number I bestselling novel in the U.S. w,1s "A Lion is in the Streets," by Adria Locke Langley. Ever heard of her'l)

Like any other great fictionists. he inventctl his own style, but his lean. simple, clear and crisp prose emerged at a time when writers were still churning out florid verbosities.

In the classic "The Elemcllls of Style." E.13. White discussed style by contrasting the following brief passages from Hemingway and his contempmary, William Faulkner, dealing with one subject-languor.

Herc's Faulkner: "lie <lid not still feel weak, he was merely luxuri

:lling in that supremely gutful lassitude of convalescence in which time, hurry, doing, did not exist, the accumulating seconds and minutes and hours to which in its well state the body is slave both waking and· sleeping, now reversed and time now the lip-

server and mendicant to the body's pleasure instead of the body thrall to time's headlong course."

As White noted, there is nothing eccentric 1tbout the above construction, and Faulkner is, undoubtedly, one of the most impmiant writers of this century.

But here's how Hemingway-who, by the way, considered Faulkner a "bourbon-soaked verbalizer"-wrote about his character's languor:

"Manuel drank his brandy. He felt sleepy himself. It was too hot to go out into town. Besides there was nothing to do. He wanted to see Zurita. He would go to sleep while he waited."

In creating what would be known as Hemingway prose, Hemingway stripped language to its essentials, cutting all unnecessary words. It was simplicity, but one forged out of complexity, and it throbbed with what one critic called "'an intense virility." It was "stark, objective, 'unliterary."'

I Jc used f'cw adjertivcs and advcrbs~-thc writer's "enemies," as Gore Vidal would put it much laterand used concrete nouns and verbs. His prose's, at times, flat and even monotonous cadence was new music.

Not surprisingly, he became one of the most imitated writers; he was found "easy" to imitate.

But. says the English writer Anthony Burgess (of "A Clockwork Orange" fame), "the kind of rattledoff typewritercsc (supposedly a la Hemingway) has little to do with the terse style of his best books, a medium he slaved to perfect over years of poverty and ascetic dedication."

Joumalists adore him, or-seeing how some news writers' copies arc nowadays-at least used to.

/\side from writing short stories anJ novels, Hemingway was a correspondent who covered the Spanish Ci vi I War and the Ii bcration of France during World War II. His dispatches remain very readable and compelling.

Herc's how one of his reports started: ··Valencia. Spain-As our Air France plane from

Toulousc !kw down over the business section of Barcelona, the streets were empty. It looked as quiet as downtown New York on a Sunday morning.

'"A trimotor bomber had just come over, with two pursuit piancs as escort. and had dropped its load or bombs on the town, killing seven and wounding thirly-four."

The piece was one of the articles in an anthology used as a textbook when I was a freshman in college, and it was my first encounter with Hemingway.

I AM w1iting to.clmify some serious enur.; in the aiticle entitled "Island StreetToGetFilipinoHero 's Name" which appemed in the Aug.4 edition of The Saipan Tribune. I find it hard to believe that such a short aiticle could cont.ain so many inaccuracies.

First, this office is not involved, either directly or indirectly, with gettingastreetnamed inhonorof Andres Bonifacio or any other per.;on from the Philippines. I did meet with Consul Heidemann at her request several weeks ago and provided her with some general histotical information relating to Filipinos who were in the

Northern Mruianas during the early Spanish period. It was my understandingthattheywerecollectingthis information in preparation of the Cente.nnial celebration ofPhil ippines indei:endence. Thismeetinghadnothing to do with naming streets, however.

A couple of weeks later, this DivisionalsoprovidedConsu!Heidemrum with specific information on Hipolito Dela Cruz, a Filipino lay helper who was killed with Father Medina on Saipan in I 670.

US immigration panel is OK Dear Editor:

A FRIEND brought to my attention thatthevisitofthe U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform has caused concern because it is seen as in being tl1e hip pocket of the Depaitment of Interior and likely to be p1ejudiced against the current immigration system in the CNMI.

Representing an independent public interest organization that has worked with theCommission,I would like to assure your readers that is a false impression. My organization, the Federntion for American Immigration Refo1rn, hasnotalways agreed

with the Commission's recommendations, but we have found that the members approach theirresearch professi onally and that they listen to all sides.

TI1e Commission has a legislative mandate to study United States immigration policy-not labor laws. They may be expected to focus on how the CNMI Immigration system may impact on the U.S. mainland.

Garrison rebuts Feger Dear Edi tor:

IT IS with much dismay that we a, teachers are once again the brunt of Mr. Jim Feger's frustration over the pub! iceduc;tional system here in the CNMI.

Although we understand Mr. Feger's position on the multi-track versus. single track system ,md his adam,mtbeliefin the single track, we c,mnot begin to un<lerst,md his continued blatant .md abusive rem,u-ks

I made tow;u·ds the tcache1~ here. ; In so much ,L, he is a teacher 1 himself' on multi-u·ack, we wonder how he c,m tl1ink ··by getting rid or ··carpet baggers" who l>.:licvc Ull'Y

: Docs he not undcl'St.u1d that we i have nothing do witl1 it ,mJ that we I work for ,my calcnd,u· that is written I intoourcontract, because we choose

I where we w,mt to work.

We are teachers, we teach when

I we're told ,md where we're told. or

I

we teach elsewhere. We don't "dc1mmd" four montl1s

I

of ,mything, except now, maybe we should denumd four months or Mr. Feger keeping his mouth shut

I and to stop ""casting aspersions on the quality and character of our teachers" as the Commis-sioner of Education had told him to do so in his memo dated Fcbru:uy 14.

In his mticle, Mr. Feger states that our children have l:x.>en robbed of a "milliondollm,worthofeducational services", we would like to sec his brcakdownofthatestimate,forsurely thatrnustbehisown interpretation of the value in education, is itindollars? is it in vacation time? is it in the

amountoftime a teacher makes himself or herself available to teach?

We don't believe you cm1 place that type of monetary value on the education of our children. To the teachers who teach the children.education is priceless.

He states we give "less educational services than at other schools" h,L, he looked at the diver.;ity of progrmns here at MHS and seen the achievement. His statement that the ··multi track is a lower quality of education"' is a slap in the face to tl1e more tl1at a 150 students who received academic achievement ,md cxccllcnce aw.u·ds at our last graduation in '97 ,m<l to tl1e numerous schol.u,hips tJ1at wete aw,u-dcd includinga$30.(XXJ scholarshiptoone or our studenL,.

Is that 1he lower quality of education that receives such prestige. We tl1ink not, we ,L, teachers will not let Mr. Feger tread upon the excellence our studcnL, have received through their teachers inst111ction.

He may believe in a single track educatiomu system as we ,ul would like to sec a tradi tiorn~ calend,u-where fam1ilics can take summer together all over tl1e world but we are faced with a crisis in education with overcrowding and we makedowitl1 what we have ,md Jo it the best we c:m because were teachers mid we love to teach.

ll1c system is not better served by having someone like Mr. Feger in it to 1ry imd break dowmmd destroy tJ1e clmracter,md qu,~ ity of ourtcachers.

Maybe Mr. Feger would be better served to go back to school himself ,md get ,lll education on how to work with your foe and not against him!

6-MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-FRIDAY- AUGUST 8, 1997

PIO blames legislators for US-CNMI tensions


GOVERNOR Froilan C. Tenorio' s spokesperson yesterday said it is the Legislature's willingness to "spoonfeed" the CNMI's critics in the Clinton administration that has led to the cun-ent ·tensions in the CNMI'federal relations, and not the governor's "attitude."

"The perception now in Washington is that the CNMI is not unified," Mark Broadhurst said, referring to the reaction of Speaker Diego T. Benavente (RSaipan) and Senate Vice PresidentPaul A. Manglona(R-Rota) to Tenorio' s statements Wednesday.

The governor, in a media conference, said the CNMI should seek an independent or a "freely associated status" if the Clinton administration insists on imposing federal immigration laws on the CNMI. .

Benavente and Manglona, in separate interviews, found Tenorio's statements "alarming." Manglona said the governor's "childish attitude" is

"the problem." "Whv haven't we seen the

same ~action against the governor when President Clinton advocated a stripping away of the Covenant?" Broadhurst said.

"Wasn't that, t90, alarming? ~ "Why didn't we hear an outcry of' childish' behavior when (Insular Affairs Director) Al Stayman changed his mind less than a year by first assuring the NMI that we were making.' sufficient progress' and there was no need for a federal takeover, and then more recently sending his representative to say that the Northern Marianas are nothing but a beat up, broken down old c.ar? · "Why-didn't we hear it? Be

cause no one can match the governor in political fortitude and resolve. No one has the guts to go against the grain, especially in an election year.

"They don't have the guts to do something unpopular, but right."

~Calling Tenorio a '·proud American," Broadhurst said the governor's statement is a challenge to the federal government "to bring an end to this incessant harassment, the constant paternal threat of a federal takeover."

He said the governor, in deciding to confront the federal government over the CNMJ's, political status, "is providing fresh perspective on our Commonwealth, and its people's right to self-determination."

"Isn't that what the Covenant is all about?" Broadhurst said. _"There's nothing at all childish about that."

Tenorio says he'd rather campaign for Democratic bets than for himself

By Zaldy Danclan Variety News Staff

ELECTION day is more than two months away, but for Gov. Froilan C. Tenorio, thevoter.,havealready made up their minds, particularly on who to elect as governor.

Tenorio, since 1979 a "veteran" of seven midtern1 and general elections, said Wednesday that he will not be campaigning as much as he did in the past

He said voters already know who he is, and will no longer be "influenced" by new campaign promises.

"The people have already decided whether they 're going to vote for me on the basis of my perfonnance in the last three and a half years," he said.

The same thing goes for his running mate,Saipan Mayor Jesus S. DL Guerrero.

"(Guerrero) and I are incumbents, so people know (who we are), our qualifications and personalities," Tenorio said.

He added that he would rather campaign for the other Democratic Party candidates, particularlyforthose eyeing a seat in the Legislature.

"I hope the people will put Demo-

Froilan C. Tenorio

crats into the Legislature so we can move even faster," he said.

Tenorio, in past interviews, blamed the Republican-dominated Legislature for blocking his programs.

The Democrats, however, have never won a majority of the 9-member Senate, and the last time they won control of the House was in 1989, the same year Tenorio lost his first bid for the Office of the Governor.

In this general election year, six Senate seats and all of the 18 House

seats are "open." Incumbent Democrats hold only one of tht" Senate seats-Rota's Eusebio A. Hocog, who is not running-and two of the House seats. ·

Tenorio, in an earlier interview, said he's confident of winning control ofatleastthe HouseofRepresentatives--for which the Democrats have again fielded an incomplete, and some say, a not so impressive, slate.

But not to worry, Tenorio said. He will concentrate on campaigning for his pa.rtymates.

A former senator and resident representative, Tenorio led the Democrats to victory in 1993, but failed to win a majority in either of the Legislature's two houses. The Democrats candidates for the Legislature fared even worse in the midterm elections two years later.

In his third run for the CNMI's highest-elective office, Tenorio is rnnning against his former running mate, the Independent Lt. Gov. Jesus C. Borja, and his uncle, the Republican fonnergovernor Pedro P. Tenorio.

Parents to be asked to assess performance of public schools

By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff

BEGINNING this school year, not only the students but also the schools will wait for report cards every quarter.

The Public School System will start doing a regular survey of public schools based on assessments by parents.

"PSS been evaluating the

skills and performance of its students. -Now, in an effort to improve the education of our children, PSS is asking the parents' assistance in grading our own performance," Education Commissioner William Torres said yesterday.

Every quarter, each parent would submit a survey form in which the school would be

,._..,-- -·;

;::;;,;--.....-!' - -... ~-.. ,.,, - -·:.--: .--,.,,. ,,,

evaluated using the A to F grading scale.

The schools would be graded according to children's academic performance, quality of facilities provided, the school's atmosphere, and ability to inspire parents involvement and participation.

"The objective of this survey is is tied up with our movement to give increasing responsibility to schools and make them accountable for performances of our students," Torres said.

Based on the school.grading system, Torres said, PSS would know which "void to fill. This is some kind of a reality check."

"This would enable us to align the expectations of the parents with the performance of the schools," the commissioner added.

The school grading system, Torres also said, is part PSS' School Site Based Education Governance program which will be tested in some schools.

ANY PREVIOUSLY RENTED ITEM.

The site-based management system seeks to allow schools to participate in the decisionmaking process which is currently centralized within PSS and the Board of Education.

Participating schools will also be empowered to manage their own financial affairs.

These responsibilities, according to Torres, also come with acceptance of accountabi Iiti cs.

The program was patterned after Hawaii's system which adheres to the principle that "the most effective decisions arc m,;de by those who must eventually implement these decisions.'' l

DYS official on iuvenile woes: u

Problem is adults, not kids By Mar-Vic C. Munar Variety News Staff

THE YOUTH oftodayarehard to handle - a cliche that adults love to say.

It's not a fair remark, says Tracy James Asuncion of the Division of Youth Services, .who looks at reality from another window.

"The problem is not the kids, the problem is the adults," says Asuncion, DYS' s community development specialist.

He says the lack of commitment, spirit of volunteerism, and support from the community frustrates DYS.

"The big problem is commitment. Some people would sign up as volunteers. We would call them. They would promise to help but won't show up," Asuncion said.

And each time DYS would seeks assistance from members of the community, Asuncion lanients, "they would quickly ask how much they'd be paid."

"We need adults who can be the mentors, close friends, and models in the eyes of the children," Asuncion says.

"They are our future leaders. We need to give them the necessary tools to help them reach their gwn goals," he adds.

Th.ere are, he says, several youth organizations on Saipan that have taken initiatives to help themselves.

One is called Super Motion which is composed of about 35 teenagers involved in modern dancing. Another one is called Agape which is engaged in spiritual activities.

"These kids came to us and requested for some support, like transportation that they could USC

when they have to go somewhere to perform, ordo their activities," Asuncion says.

"DYS can't do it all. We need assistance from civic organization, other government agencies, and church organizers," Asuncion says.

What is HIV, AIDS? By Dr Danielle Lonchamp

HA VE YOU read the news recently? Teenagerisinfected with the AIDS virus in· the CNMI! What is HN? W)1at is AIDS? i thoughtonl y homosexuals could get this infection! I thought this infection only exists in New York or in San Francisco!

AIDS is an illness caused by a vi_rus that enters the body and attacks the immune system (the system that protects your body from diseases). When the immune system breaks down, the body is attacked by other diseases which are life-threatening. The AIDS vims, called HN (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), can live in someone's body for ye11rs before the immune system breaks down, so people very often d_on 't know they have been infected and can spread the virus.

No one can tell by looking if a person has been infected with HN; many people who are infected have NO symptoms at all. As the illness progresses, symptoms may include weight loss, chronic diarrhea, night sweats, severe fatigue. When the virus destroys the immune system, a person might come down with diseases that eould kill him or her, including pneumonia, infection of the brain, and certain types of cancer.

How do I get AIDS? NO, you cannot get AIDS from kissing, toilet seats, or mosquitoes; IDV is passed from person to person through the exchange of blood, semen,orvaginal secretions. So, you can get AIDS from sharing

needles with someone who has· AIDS (needles from a diabetic who injects himself with insulin, needles froin adrug user. You can also get AIDS when you have unprotected sex ( oral sex, anal or vaginal intercourse), no matter how young or how old you are!

Once you become infected with the AIDS. virus, you can spread to others through unprotected sex, sharing needles or giving birth to a baby. A woman who is infected with HIV may infect her unborn child through the placenta or the newborn during the birth process The vin)S will always be in your body. We have no medicine to remove the virus from your body!

How do I protect myself from AIDS? People who do not have sex of any kind (vaginal, anal or oral) and who do not shoot drugs are not at risk for AIDS! If you are having sex with anyone, make sure the male partner is using a latex condom from start to finish!. It is best to use a lubricated condom which contains Nonoxynol-9. Be responsible!

How do I know ifl have AIDS? The only way you can find out if you have or don't have AIDS is by getting a blood test The mv test is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. This test is also offered to all pregnant women. Teenagers older than 12 years do not require parental consent.

This is a serious and deadly infection. that can be totally prevented .by abstinence, condom

. use and not sharing needles. Please contact your health care professional for further info1111ation.

gram and activities that would give them the proper venue to speak out and develop their skills.

"They want to be part of the community, They have ideas. They can contribute a lot, but we don't give them a chance,"

Asuncion says. Some political candidates even

attempt to use the kids for· their political campaign, Asuncion says.

"Some candidates approached me and asked that I gather kids to

generate campaign. "I don't think youth should the used for this kind of political activities," Asuncion says.

"What we hope to see is youth helping the youth, and adult supervising the yout," Asuncio says.

MICRONESIAN Telecommunications Corporation and GTE Pacifica extended a helping hand to the relief operation on Guam following the crash of Korean Air Flight 801 Wednesday, a news release from MTC said.

MTC's senior mm,agement yesterday morning approved a $5,0'.XJ donation to the Guam Chapter of the American Red Cross for their relief work after the tragic airline crJ.~h.

"This is simply the right thing for us to do," said MTC' s General Manager Del E. Jenkins. "As a corporate citizen of the Mariana Islands we want to reach out to ourneighbors and fricnds,including the tourists who add so much to our communities, whenever tragedy strikes. This is the spirit

of our community that we immediately extend a helping hand whenever we can."

Roland Franquez, manager of GTE Pacifica, MTC' s sister company on Guam, noted that the local chapter of the American Red Cross won't be initiating any fundraising activities on its own following the Korean Air crash.

"Their bylaws Jon 'tallow them to do any public fundraising following a disaster-like this involving a private company like an airline.

But the business community and residents of the Marianas wouldn't wait to be asked to help out in a situation like this. We just do what needs to be done," Franquez said.

If the U.S. were to do it all over: •

'Will I get same status?' By William H. Stewart MilitaryH/storical Cartographer

Conclusion Upon the breakup of the Soviet Union anJ aft a the UnitcJ States cioscJ it bases in rhe Philippines several years ago. the Mariana lslanJs of Guam. Tinian anJ Saipan also experienceJ a reduced importance to American strategic requirements in the western Pacific.

However, it is still a result of their geographic location in proximity to the Asian Continent as well as the Great Circle Sailing Routes (shortest distance) between the Uni teJ States and the Philippines. the Strait of Malacca at Singapore and the Lombok Straits in Indonesia that the United States is expected to continue to exhibit interest, albeit at a reduced level, in the area far. into the twenty-first century.

The Malacca and Lombok Straits are the passages through which super tankers and their vital cargo of oil from the Middle East-must travel enroute to the United States west coast and the ports of its Japanese ally and trading partner.

The Mariana Islands are geographically situated so as to be the farthest United States possessions in the Pacific west of

Hawaii. Situated in a universe of water, the Marianas archipelago are the farthest stars out in the American galaxy.

As a contingency the United States military has leased a portion of Tinian, (originally 17.799 acres of which 12,000 acres have been leased back to the CNMl ).

Several U.S. military supply vessels are already based in Commonwealth waters.

Today the islands may have lost much of their strategic appeal as geographic assets. J\!ot only is the land area available for military use limited, but a diminished threat from the former Soviet Union (now the Commonwealth of Independent States) and the modem technology of weapon systems has certainly reduced the strategic importance of the islands.

At the end of World War II and during - and after - the Korean conflict and the Vietnam War, the United States was preoccupied in southeast and northeast Asia with a policy designed to contain the Soviet Union and communism.

Japan was ideally situated geographically to facilitate the effort with the result that the United States greatly assisted in the economic recovery of its

former adversary after the devastation of the Pacific war with the result that, within the span of less that four decades, .Japan became one of the strongest economies in the world.

After World War II and the emergence of the Soviet Union on the world economic scene along with the threat of communism, the United States, in an attempt to offer the developing nations of the world an alternative to this economic philosophy, opened its vast markets to industries in Asia.

This was an "economic carrot" offered as an alternative to communism and aided in the building of an alliance against the Soviet Union. In so doing some of the United States domestic industries started their long decline.

Who, for example in 1950, could possibly imagine that American automobile manufacturers would lose out on their own home territory. But this is what has happened along with steel, shipbuilding and a myriad of other industries.

If it continues one must wonder what the American worker will produce in the year 2000 to earn the money to continue to represent a substantial export market for the growing quantity

.

The opinions and observations expressed are those of the author· alone and do not represent the view point of an-y government.

of Asian manufactured items of high quality.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the current strong economies of Korea, Taiwan, Japan and others the United States no longer has to offer the "carrot" of free market access or low tariffs on the American side of the Pacific.

With the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, America found itself with no real military threat in the western Pacific and Japan's geographic location no longer as important in containing Soviet expansion in east Asia.

This was the principal reason for United States reconstructing Japan· s economy after World War JI - to make the nation a bulwark against communism.

With the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the Soviet Union the United States is left without a military challenge in the region but finds itself faced with an economic threat from J apan, a country which is weak militarily but one of the most wealthy nations in the world.

This is a nation consisting of a group of small, crowded islands .in comparison to the entire American continent and, in contrast to North America, a country totally dependent upon overseas trade to sustain its economy.

Geopolitics in the western Pacific will continue to be influenced by the United States with Japan and China increasingly becoming major players. With the second largest economy in the world, Japan must import all its raw material and export its finished manufactured goods to markets throughout the world.

The highways for this co111-111crcc arc the sea Janes of al I the world's oceans.

The Marianas archipelago sits astriJe many of these major ocean routes and is the closest American soil to the continent of Asia. For this reason alone the area is a valuable national asset.

The center of gravity for world trade has shifted over the past twenty five years to the vast markets of Asia. Since the conclusion of World War II the

United States has· maintained economic supremacy in the world but today that position is being seriously challenged by Japan and, to a lesser extent, several other Asian countries around the Pacific rim.

The Mariana Islands, America's most western affiliated archipelago and the closest American jurisdiction to Japan and China, provides an ideal location for United States firms interested in serving Asian countries from" a U. S. base of operations in proximity to the rr.arkets of the Far East. Serious consideration should by given by mainland American businesses to the geographic advantages, political stability and other amenities provided by the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth's proximity to Asia places it within reasonable distances to 1.4 billion people of Pacific rim Asian countries with a combined gross domestic product equal to $2. 9 trillion dollars. China alone has a population of of 1.2 billion people and a fast developing economy.

In terms of marine resources the Pacific Ocean yields about 65 percent of the world's annual supply of tuna. About 50 percent of the Pacific catch comes from the western Pacific.

The waters around the Northern Marianas chain abound with pelagic species of jacks, mahimahi, marlin, skipjack, tuna, ycllowfin and wahoo.

The exclusive economic zone surrounding the Northern Mariana Islands covers 99.9 percent oft he CNMl'S total area of approximately 264,000 square miles. The area is· a unique body of water with a most unusual scabeu·.

It contains the Marianas Trench, the greatest ocean depth on the face of the earth, and an active submerged volcanic system. These factors contribute to rich mineral resource potential.

Returning to to question, "if the United States had it to do over - would it offer Commonwealth status to the Northern Marianas?" You, the reader decide.

• e e 1no To Board Of Education

I am seeking election lo the Board of Education because I feel that I can contribute lo improving the quality of education that our children are receiving. After 12 years as a former school teacher and 33 years as a businessman, I feel that I have gained experience that I can share.

I realize fully that being a member of the Board of Education carries a heavy responsibility because the quality of education for thousands of children of the CNMI depends on the ability, foresight, integrity, and dedication of each Board member. The decisions of the Board not only affect the education of the children but the parents and the community as well. As a result the Board must work closely with everybody to insure that educating children becomes everybody's business.

At present there are many finger pointing accusations as to how the problems in the school system arose. The community has become divided against itself. Parents are frustrated because they feel that their children are not getting a good education. The Executive Branch is chastising the Public School System for not upgrading the educational system. The Legislature is reluctant to appropriate more money lo the PSS until they are assured that it will be more wisely spent. the Public School System feels that it is an autonomous organization and should be allowed lo run the school system in whatever way ii pleases without interference. Meanwhile the children are pawns in all this turmoil.

Al first appearance all the above problems seem insurmountable. Bui if we discuss each one sanely and quietly, solutions will appear. We must work together toward solving them.

As a member of the Board I will strive to bring everyone concerned to a · roundtable for discussions and settlements.

The PSS has many problems and no one person can solve them. But when everyone realizes that educating children is everyone's business. the problems can be solved. Everyone must be held accountable for the education of children. Quality education does not mean throwing more money al problems. Quality education needs the complete support of everyone involved.

The entire community must become involved. Parents must demand better education. The PSS must sit down with the Executive Branch and the Legislature and talk and talk until all agree on solutions to better the present system. Schools are the training arena for the types of community we desire. Let's all pitch in. Educating children must be everyone's business.

Please call me to express what you feel the Board of Education should do to improve the educational system. I want lo hear your concerns. They are real and important and must be listened to. What do you feel are the real problems? I am ready and willing to meet with any group lo discuss these problems and listen lo your suggestions. My telephone number is 233-3973 and my fax is 233-9297.

Please join with me in im1Jroving our public school system!

J eopar lzes Peace Process. rampaged through a village in the southern Philippines, killing at least 12 people, police said Thursday.

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) -TI1e ,L,sassination of a key rebel peace negotiatorwill jeopardize efforts to resolve the Bougainville secessionist crisis, Prime Minister Bill Skate said Wednesday.

Skate condemned the killing of Tiiomas Batakai. a member of the governnicnt-backedBougainvilleprovincial government and a key participant in recent talks in New Zealand aimed at kick-starting the peace process in the nine-year Bougainville conflicL

voked and uncalled for, and should be condemned in the strongest possible tem1s."

The rebels' political arm, the Bougainville InterimGovemment,has blamed Papua New Guinea troops for the assassination.

Military and intelligence sources said the killing was carried out by a faction of the rebels opposed to the Burnham peace talks.

Meanwhile, Skate is expected on Thursday to announce details of the new inquiry into the Sandline mercenaries contracl

The attackers also injured 17 other people and took four teen-age girls hostage when they retreated Sunday fromthevillageofKalang Sukuban in Luuk town, Sulu province.

Jammang Tammang, one of those injured, said relatives of a man engaged to be married to a woman from another clan were enraged when she eloped with another man.

The marriage already had been publiclyarmounced,andthewoman's

action was considered a big social embarrassment for the man's family among the Muslim Tausug tribe in Sulu,about950kilometers(594miles) south of Manila.

Police said the raiders from the nearby villageofTandu used mortars and machine guns and torched several houses in Kalang Sukuban.

It could not immediately be determined where they obtained their weapons, but fireanns are easily available in many areas in the southern Philippines where Muslim secessionist rebels operated in the past

New Guinea central government authorities were not part of the peace t:Jks, nor was rebel leader Francis Ona, who said afterward he would not honor a cease-fire.

An earlier inquiry cleared Deputy Prime Minister Chris Haiveta of corruption relating to the US dlrs 36 million deal to use mercenaries to solve the Bougainville crisis. But it criticized his tistimony as untruthful and described some of his actions a5 suspicious.

He offered '"in principle" suppo11 for the peace declaration secured at the Bumh,unpeacetalksinNew Zealand, which called for a cease-fire and asked for U.N. peacekeepers to enforce it.

The declaration did not say when the shooting would stop or when the war would end. Papua

Skate, who elected on an anti-corruption platfom1, has promised an inquiry with wider tern1s of reference.

After the elections, Skate entered into a coalition with Haiveta and others to secure the prime ministership.

MAJURO-Threats to close Majuro international airport are on hold, at least until Monday, as landowners consider a new offer from government negotiators.

Last week, the government and landowners were stalemated after the government rejected the landowners' demand forone percent of the gross revenues from the airport property and the right to negotiate directly with Mobil Oil, which operates the plane refueling station.

But this week, the government has offered to approve the one percent provision, provided the protesting landowners accept the conditions that the one percent revenues be shared with other landowners at· the airport proporionately to the amount of land they own, and that the landowners approved a 75 year lease in 25 year increments.

The initial reaction of protesting landowners to the new offer was not enthusiastic, because they believe that since they control the two land parcels on which the Mobil station and the main terminal are located, they alone should receive the one percent

revenue, not landowners whose land is on the runway or other parts of the airport facility.

But the landowners' agreement to consider the latest government offer takes the pressure off the immediate threat to airportoperations posed by the protesting landowners <· that would affect both Continental Micronesia flights to Honolulu and Guam and Air Marshall Islands service to Fiji, Kiribati and Tuvalu. ·

The government's position is to offer the landowners one percent of revenues of non-essential services, which excludes the airlines, said a government official involved in the negotiations.

"We 'II respond to the government's proposal on Monday," landowner represen~tiv~ Marie Maddison, who added that they would not disrupt airport operations while mulling the offer.

·Askedaboutthegovemment's proposal to share the one percent among all the airport landowners (there arc 16 land parcels, most with different owners), Maddison asked rhetorically: "Does the pipe from Mobil go through all of their land?"

SUV A, Fiji (AP) - Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka reshuffled his Cabinet on Thursday, moving a finance minister criticized by Australia as "disappointing" to Foreign Affairs, and promoting a woman to deputy prime minister. One of Fiji's leading business entrepreneurs, Jim Ah Koy, was appointed Finance minister, a promotion from his post as Youth and Sports minister.

He replaces Berenado Vunibobo, who becomes minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, a portfolio previously held by Filipe Bole.

An 8th Anniversary that happcnson t\1ecighth day of the eighth month is just too lucky to waste, so Rudolpho 's has decided to pass ·their luck around and make the celebration last for three days so that everyone can enjoy Saipan's Number one fun spot.

To mark the milestone, Rudv and his crew have I ined up a variety of food, drink, and entertainment specials, which begun yesterday Thursday, and will go until tomorrow.

On August 8th, at 8 (of course) Saipan is in for a special musical treat with the "Pre-debut" of Sai pan's newest music sensation, "One Heart''.

"One Heart" features a variety of Saipan's musical talents (although none of them were born here) playing music "the way it's supposed to be".

If you've never heard Tony, Hank, Mario, or Azumi play in other bands before, then you 're in for a real treat when you hear them together.joined by a variety of friends. So come on down and enjoy "One Heart" and check the ··g·· specials for the day.

There's sure to be some giveaways, and it wouldn't be surp;·iscd if there's mOl'c than one (maybe 8) S8 gift certil'icates to hand out.

'I 'hen on /\ugust 9th, Rudo! pho 's brings back it's Jong-lime hrnd, Tl1c Tourists, one more time, for one show only.

Of course, check out the "8" specials that will run all through the anniversary.

Getting back to why Rudolpho's gets to celebrate this momentous event, let\ review some histrny.

Way back whcri (more than 8 years ago) there was no fresh pizza on Saipan-only the frozen ones at Joetcn's and Payless. Oh, sure, some places tried, but "fresh pizza" usually meant a slice of Wonder bread -with ketchup and a slice ol" Velveeta melted on it.

So, it was a blessed day in August, when Rudolpho' s setup the

first ''Pizza Pala-Pala" at the Sunset Bar& Grill for three nights a week.

And while the location has changed several times and there's now plenty of places to purchase a "pizza pie", Rudolpho's pizza remains the favorite of pizza afficionados from Marpi to Naftan.

And with the only pizza restaurant with two locations on Saipan, Rudolpho's can deliver the freshest pizza to your office or doorstep.

Rudolpho' s also has great

Mexican food, delicious sandwiches, salads, and drinks and is, once again, in the forefront of bringing one of the newest taste crazes to Saipan.

Well. they're called "wraps" and Rudolpho's is "wrapping" up a variety of tasty and healthful treats in their new homemade torti !las (in four delicious flavors).

So come check out what's new and what's old (but good) al Rudolpho's and help celebr'"8" 8 years of great pizza and a whole lot more. We're sure you'll be glad you '"8" there.

Americans mo11rn kin on KAL 801 By Amanda Covarrubias

SAN DIEGO (AP)-They were avid scuba divers traveling to Guam on vacation.

Brought together by their mutual love of the sea, Wendy Hope

Bunten, a 37-year-old attomey and mother of two, and Sean Burke, a 24-year-old transplant from the Midwest, also apparently died together on a jungle hillside. They were not on the list

of survivors of Korean Air Flight 801.

Only 29 of the 254 people on board survived.

"It looks right now like he didn't make it," said Nick Shafranski, Burke's roommate. "He was going on a trip with a friend to the islands for scuba diving .... He saw Korea and he was going on to Guam."

B~rke: 24, moved to San Diego last year with three high

school friends from Minneapolis, including Shafranski. Burke was studying marine biology at San Diego State University and trying to break into modeling,

He taught scuba diving and worked as a. waiter to support himself.

"He was generous and outgoing and he loved to travel," Shafranski said Wednesday.

Shafranski had never met Burke's companion, Bunten, but

a statement released by her family Wednesday said she was a trial lawyer with two children. Little else was revealed about Bunten, such as her relationship with Burke.

"She gave her all to family, friends and .. clients alike," the statement said. "We would like herto be rem em be red for the generous and caring person she was. Wendy was a vivacious woman full of life."

How air passengers can improve odds when their planes go down

Friends carry out a woman who passed out from Korean Airline office in Seoul while waiting for news on the fate of her relative on board the ii/fated Korean Air Boeing 747 that crashed in Guam on Wednesday. AP

By CALVIN WOODWARD WASHINGTON (AP) · When flight attcnJant Richard DeMary pulled people to safety after a DC-9 crash three years ago, more than his courage and training were at work.

For all the feeling of helplessness, passengers may have some control over their fate when something goes wrong. They can dress for success, make mental maps of exits and take other little steps to improve their odds.

That people can walk away from even hoITi fie accidents was shown when Korean Air Flight 801

crashed early Wednesday in a ball of flames in Guam.

The crash killed more than 200 people while officials say 29 survived, a few with only slight injury.

Generally, safety experts recommend passengers wear clothing of natural material. such as cotton, leather or wool, and avoid pantyhose and other synthetics that can melt in high heat and cause severe bums.

Long sleeves and pants arc favored over short skirts and Tshirts because, generally, the more of the body that is covered the better.

High heels are especially frowned on. Apart from being harder to get around on, they may puncture the slide in an evacuation.

Female flight attendants were only recently freed from having to wear high heels, but airline dress codes still call for them to wear hose, Ms. Gallagher said.

Sandals and loafers are also not the best choice for passengers. Any shoes without laces or buckles may be thrown off in the unimaginable forces at work when an airliner is lurching or crashing.

afat wan1s of 'battle' By Dina Kraft

JERUSALEM (AP) - Yasser Arafat told his people Wednesday to "prepare for battle," saying the worst is ·yet to come in crippling Israeli sanctions. NewlY. u·ained Palestinhm lighters declared themselves ready to meet a feared Israeli inv,L,ion.

Alanncd JorJanim1 leaders urgeJ both sides to tone down the tough talk in the lsracli-Palestini,lll crisis.

Prime Minister Benjamin Net..myahu hiL~suspenc.led peace talks, ordcreJ mass ,uTCsts, clamped a travel ban on the West B,mk ,md Gaza and halted the tr,msfer,of vital tax revenues to Arafat's self-rule government in the week since suicide bombers killed themselves and 13 others in a crowdcJ Jerusalem market.

'"Prepme for battle that Netanyahu is forcing on us, because what is coming i; wor.,c th,m whathasalready been," Arafat saic.l in Gaza, at a meeting with leaders of his Fat..lh faction of the P,tlestine Libemtion Organization.

In the WestBankcityofRamallah, members of Fatah burned Israeli anJ U.S. flags during a graduation ceremony for a course in weaponshandling and street combat.

The 50 graduates were trained to confront Israeli forces if they try to enter the Palestinian-controlled cities, Palestinim1 officials said. Hard-liners within Net..myahu's government reportedly have urged him to take that step.

Netanyahu said that he was ready toe,t-;e up if Arafat clmnps down on teITor.

"If I had to say what is the indispensable step to saving peace, it is for the Palestinian Authority to t..Jk.e linn and decisive and immediate· steps against the infn1structure of terroris~," Net..lllyahu said after meeting with Jord,m's Crown Prince Hassan and Prime Minister Abdel-Salam M,~ali in Jerusalem.

Hassan countered that militants should not be allowed to sabomge the peace process. ·'Clearly the possibilities of extremism destroying and derailing the process are mm1y ," he said.

'This is what terrorists and extremists fear most And this is why, despite the bombing of tl1is past week, and despite tlueats of further violence, the process of peacemaking has survived and will continue to survive."

One option understood to be under consideration is to have the talks in the United States.

In her speech, Albright echoed Clinton's emphasis on stronger Palestinian action against ten·orists. 'There must be I 00 percent effort both with regard to unilateral Palestinian Authority mea~ures against terror and in Israeli-Palestiniansecuritycooperation," she said.

She said Arafat should search for whatever might help deter the attacks and share tl1c information with Israeli terrorism experts.

House Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote Clinton praising his and Albright's condemnation of terrorism. But, Gingrich said, "I remain very concerned that you have not matched your administration's rhetoric with equally stroll¥, action against Ll1ose responsible.

Gingrich said Arafat had turned a blind eye to terrorism "and the time Ins come for America to demand - not politely request- tl1at Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Autl10rity take immediate and unequivocal action to stamp out every trace of terrorism in tl1eir midst."

Both Clinton and Albright registered disapproval of actions Netany:tlm ha~ taken tl1at have drawn Palestinian complaints.

Guerrilla rock.ets hit Southern Lebanon BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -Hezbollah guerrillas fired rockets Wednesday at Israeli positions in southern Lebanon, and some landed across the border in northern Israel, security officials said.

The guerrillas fired an estimated 40 rockets from several spots outside the Israelioccupied border strip. Some of the rockets overshot the border and landed in northern Israel, said the officials, speaking on cus{ornary condition of anonymity.

There were no reports of injuries and Israeli officials did not immediately confirm the attack. But Israel has in the past retaliated harshly to attacks across the border,

Hezbollah, the Iraniari 0-

Korea compromise 'unlikely' By Robert H. Reid

NEW YORK (AP) - North and South Korea showed little sign of· compromise Wednesday in four-nation talks pressing for a final peace treaty on their divided peninsula.

U.S. and Chinese officials attending the pivotal talks said they were expected to run through Thursday and might not end until Friday. The meetings began Tuesday at Columbia University.

The goal is to agree on a time, place and agenda for a conference to forge a new security arrangement to replace the 1953 armistice that ended fighting in the Korean War.

Sources in both Kcrean delegations described the atmosphere at the meetings as "good" and "businesslike."

But the differences among the delegations are significant, especially on the contentious issue of the 37,000 American troops in South Korea. North Korea insisted Wednesday the Americans must leave as a first step toward peace.

The United States and South Korea insist the communist North first agree to spec;fic binding measures to reduce tensions between the two Koreas, which technically remain at war.

Sources close to the talks said China had taken a "neutral and evenhanded" position during the

North. He said South Korea wasn't

ins1stmg on a formal peace treaty and that he was pleased so far by the cordial and businesslike tone of the talks.

But South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said the North's demands "foreboded hard times ahead" in the negotiations.

Well informed sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said it appeared the North was more interested in continuing the dialogue with Washington than agreeing quickly to conditions for a conference.

As long as the North is negotiating, its chances for receiving food aid from the U.S. and other donor countries improve.

Members of the North Korea delegation prepare for talks to begin between the United States, China, South Korea and North Korea, Tuesday at Columbia University in New York. The talks are aimed at laying the groundwork for a lasting peace on the divided Korean Peninsula. AP

At the same time, the United States is encouraged that the North is at the negotiating table at all. That could mean the current talks could end without a final announcement on a conference date but rather a commitment to take up the issue later.

meetings, apparently satisfied for now to be included in the process.

By JtRAPORN WONGPAITHOON BA:\GKOK, Thailand (AP) - Prime tvlinister Chavali l Yongch:1iyudh urged Thais not to panic W<!dn<!suay after the government shut uo11·11 more than half of the narion·s re-

maining finance companies under an IMF plan to rescue the ailing economy.

But ordinary people withdrew deposits, hoarded food, canceled credit cards and weighed buying gold as a hedge against. further woes as they took stock of the drastic International Monetary Fund plan.

Thailand ag1:eed Tuesday to overhaul its financial system -closing 42 finance companies and increasing taxes - in return for a Joan of at least$ 10 billion from the IMF.

Rampant rumors spread Wednesday that commercial banks would be the next to close.

Duangkaew was buying all the Kellogg's Corn Flakes and imported powdered milk she could carry at a Bangkok supermarket, fearing that prices could shoot up.

Chavalit's future hangs on whether the IMF plan can succeed in saving a foundering economy where his 9-monthold government has failed.

"We ask all Thais to be united in order to get through these obstacles," Chavalit said. "Don't panic about the rumors."

Consumers expect prices will climb after the government announced Monday it would raise value added taxes from 7% to 10%, effective August 16, as part of the economic rescue policy that the Finance Ministry worked on with the IMF.

BEUING (AP) - Two Chinese peasants who hacksawed the valves on natural gas wells to steal gas that they sold were executed Wednesday amid calls for severe punishment for similar crimes.

One of the peasants, Zhou Hua, lit a cigarette during an expedition to steal gas, sparking an explosion and fire, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said.

The fire took 21 days to bring under control and the well is now considered wrnthless, the agency said. Economic losses were more than 33 million yuan($ 3.9 million), it said.

Zhou and Zhao Jianxun, both · peasants from Yongqing County in Hebei province, about 75 kilo-

meters ( 45 miles) south ofBeijing, were sentenced to death and executed for destroying equipment, it saiJ.

Anothcrthrecpeoplereceiveddcath sentences suspended for two years, which can be commuted tci life imprisonment with good behavior, and 22 others were given prison terms, Xinhua said.

Liu Jiachen, vice president of China's Supreme People's Court, said that criminals have been damaging equipment in oil fields in recent years and stealing state property with "extremely serious consequences on some occasions."

He ordered courts to crack down on such crimes and "punish severely in each case," Xinhua said.

Last bodies in landslide found THREDBO, Australia (AP) -Rescue efforts were scaled down Thursday after the last three missing victims of a landslide which buried 19 people in this ski village were recovered.

Hampered by heavy rain and chilling 35-45 mph (55-70 kph) gale-force winds which threatened to trigger new landslides, rescuers by early Thursday morning had recovered 18 bodies from the landslide which smashed through two ski lodges a week ago.

One survivor was pulled from the rubble Saturday evening.

Officials have not identified the dead yet.

While the search for bodies has ended, firefighters said they wi II stay on the site to decontaminate the area following diesel and liquid propane gas leaks.

After a week of around-theclock searching in dangerous con-

ditions, rescuers on Thursday finally allowed emotions to show, police said.

"This whole thin~ has been a very emotional expe;ience for all of us,'' Superintendent Charlie Sanderson told reporters.

''Up there today people arc walking around and hugging each other and patting each other on the back."

The survivor, 27-year-old Stuart Diver, spent 65 hours in a hollow in the debris until he was rescued Saturday.

Diver took his first steps Tuesday on frostbitten feet, doctors al

Canbe1Ta Hospital said. On Wednesday, hospital medi

cal director Dr.Janet Mould said, ·'Stuart Diver continues to make excellent progress. His frostbite has improved toa state now where we don't believe it is a problem anymore.'"

Stuart Diver is visited in a Canberra hospital by his parents Steve and Annette Diver, Sunday. Diver was buried in a landslide in the Australian ski village of Thredbo Wednesday night. Twenty people were swept clown a mountain in the landslide that destroyed 2 ski lodges. AP

Taiwanese ship rep_o·rted on 'fire. SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -Firefighters on Thursday battled a blaze in the crew quarters of the Ming Mercy, a Taiwanese-registered coal carrier off Port Kem bl a, sou th of Sydney.

Phil McGavin, chief executive of Port Kembla Port

Corp., which operates the port, said the fire initially was thought to be in the Ming Mercy's engine room but now appears to be on the accommodation deck.

Fire brigade crews traveled on a tug to the ship and other crews from Sydney had been

moved to Wollongong stations to provide back up.

The Ming Mercy, with a Filipino crew, was anchored off Port Kembla waiting to load coal.

Twelve firefighters armed with breathing apparatus boarded the ship early in the afternoon. ,

Germany jobless rate rises NUREMBERG, Germany (AP) -Germany's jobless rate rose to 11.4 percent in July from 11.0 percent in June because of the economy's sum-· mer lull, the Federal Labor Office said Wednesday.

A~ut 4.354 million people we!"€ out of work in Germany last month, up 132,000 from June. When adjusted for seasonal variations, unemployment rose by 17,000 jobs in July -more than economists had expected and up from i 1,000 in June.

Most of the jobs lost were in the formerly communist east Germany, where construction work crucial to employment continued to taper off. Here, unemployment was up by 27,000 in July, and the jobless rate rose to 18.1 percent

On the other hand, Western Germany's job market was stabilizing thanks to exports. Unemployment "seem to have hit bottom" in western Gennany, the country's economic engi,ne, where seasonally adju~t joblessness declined by l 0,CXX), said Bernhard Jagoda, JJ1e office's president.

The overall rise in unemployment was due mainly to the summer vacation season, when firms let workers go, are slow to hire and small firms often shut down, Jagoda said.

He said the situation in the east couldworsenmoreifthegovemment fails to get economic changes on track, including tax 1eform and cutting back on overtime.

Report: Karadzic Yeltsin, Alexy II v_ow is ready for trial restoration of alliance

Although he has officially been stripped of power because of international pressure, Karadzic retains decisive influence behind the scenes in the Bosnian Serb halfofBosnia.

Karadzic, speaking in an interview with the respected Munich newspaper Sueddeutsche 2.eilllng, said he was ready to tum himself in for a trial if the proceedings take place in the Bosnian Serb republic. The paper released a summary of the interview Wednesday ,ahead of publication Friday.

MUNICH, German)' (AP)- lndicte<lBosnianSerb leaderRadovan Karndzic says he is ready to swnd trial underinu:mutional supervision - as Jong as it is held on Bosnian Serb soil - a Gerrmm newspaper said Wednesday.

''I propose that The Hague Tribunal hands over my case and the case of other accused Serbs from Bosnia-Herzegovina toournarional

"I would stand trial under the supervision of The Hague Tribunal and the international corrununity. Thiswouldbeformetheonly hone arable way out of the current dilemma," he said; ·

"No obstacles shall separate us, because we know the role and the impo11m1ce of the restoration in Russia of 011hodox Ch1istianity and the 011hodox Church," Yeltsin said.

The fortunes of the state and the church, entwined ever since the 1991 Soviet collapse, were put to a stem test last month when Yeltsin rejected a church-backed bill to restrict "non-traditional" religions.

"I am satisfied that the president has moved to meet the aspirations of tens of millions ofour church's faithful," Alexy said.

The dominant Orthodox Church claims 80 million followers - more than half of Russia's population -and Alexy had warned that believers would protest should Yeltsin decide to completely kill the legislation.

The l:iill - which the patriarch says is needed to protect Russians from "destructive pseudo-religious cults and foreign false-missionaries" _ gives special standing to Alexy's church and pledges "respect" to Islam, Buddhism and Judaism. Among the "nontraditional" religions that could be restricted are Protestantism and Roman Catholicism. The U.S. Senate threatened to cut off aid to Russia if the bill became law. The Vatican also strongly opposed it. The state-church alliance has been important for both sides in Russia.

Alexy was an open supporter of Yeltsin's presidential campaign in 1990 and of his re-election bid last summer, when the patriarch pointedly reminded believers of Sovietera repressions and urged them to "make the right choice" between Yeltsin and his Communist oppo-nent.

For his part, the Russian president has given the church high visibility, attending services at Christmas and Easter, and incor-porating Alexy in many ostensibly secular Kremlin ceremonies such as treaty signings.

"It is not by accident that the second baptism of our people goes hand-in-hand with the restoration of Russia, with its gradual transfer from troubled times to the creation of civic peace," Alexy said.

Yeltsin's wife, Naina, Defense Minister Igor Sergeyev, security chief Ivan Rybkin and parliament leaders also attended the consecration ceremony, in a fresh sign of Russian officials' long-standing eagerness to demonstrate theiralli- ~· ance with the church. ,

Clinton to push trade deals By Martin Crutsinger

WASHINGTON (AP)-President Clinton said Wednesday he is determined to win congressional approval to negotiate new free trade agreements, but his top·trade negotiator said the administration has yet to resolve a sticky dispute over labor rights and the environment.

At a White House news conference, Clinton said one of his top priorities. for the fall will be obtaining "fast track" authority from Congress that will allow him to negotiate new free trade agreements.

"We will grow our economy and create good jobs by continuing to open more foreign markets to our goods and services -through tough, fair trade agreements," Clinton said.

But U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky told repo11-ers at a separate briefing that the odminstration has yet to reach consensus with members of Congress on acceptable language dealing with worker rights and the environment.

She said negotiations on this issue would proceed for the rest of the month with the goal of introducing a bill in early September.

Clinton has insisted that any future free trade deals should in-

Waitress killed as· she called.911

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -A casino waitress who called 911 during a confrontation with her ex-boyfriend was shot to death Wednesday while she was still on the line, authorities said.

Police, using her description of his vehicle, arrested him minutes later.

Peugy Selvaggio, 35, ,vas killed in an cmpl;ycc parking lot near Harrah's Casino Hotel. Her body was found about 15 feet from the pay telephone she had been using. The receiver was still dangling when police arrived.

Prosecutor Jeffrey Blitz said Selvaggio had been talking to the 911 operator for less than a minute when the ex-boyfriend, apparently irate over their recent breakup, shot her twice with a shotgun.

"She was very, very popular. The cocktail staff is particularly hard-hit," said casino spokesman Michael DiLeva.

Donald Burris, 45, was caught about two miles away and charged with mlll'der. He was being held on $1 million bail.

Prosecutors said they would not release a recording of the 911 call until Burris comes to trial.

Selvaggio, a 14-year employee of Harrah's, had reported to work for a 4 a.m. shift but then asked to leave early. She placed the 91 l call at 3:58 a.m .

elude clauses to prohibit trading partners from exploiting workers or the environment - two issues of vital interest to two key Democratic constituencies, labor unions and environmentalists.

But Republicans, who control Congress, have balked, arguing that these issues are outside the scope of free trade deals and open such measures to protectionist forces.

Biu-shefsky offered no hint on how this impasse might be resolved, saying only, "The goal has always been to put forward a bill that would from its inception garner very strong bipartisan support. We have to be mindful of all the competing interests and do our best to thread that needle."

Clinton has pledged to expand the curr;ent North American Free Trade Agreement covering Mexico and Canada by creating a hemisphere-wide free trade area by the year 2005. He also has committed to reaching a free trade deal with Pacific rim nations by 2010.

President Clinton gestures during a news conference on the South Lawn of the White House Wednesday. He said he is determined to win Congressional approval for new free trade agreements. AP

Lott does 'balancing act'

Lott: Job not getting any easier.

For your dining pleasure

By Torn Raum WASHING TON (AP) - For

now,SenateMajority leaderTrent Lott can bask in the afterglow of the tax-cut and budget deals he helped negotiate. The good will may be short-lived.

The Mississippi Republican is finding the job a difficult balancing act and one that won't get any easier when Congress returns from its summer recess.

Not the least of challenges ahead is trying to prevent a GOP rift in the battle of wills between Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld.

Although Lot,'s leadership problems pale in comparison to those that House Speaker Newt Gingrich faces on the other side of the Capitol, he's had his share of difficult times this year.

Lott sometimes reacts in fits of public pique, as when he accused President Clinton this summer of being"a spoiled brat."They made

peace, but only after Clinton spokesman Mike McCurrycalled Lott "a bit frazzled." ·

Other times, he reacts with humor: He said he didn't follow through .on a promise to whistle "Hail to the Chief' on the Senate floor because he feared a Democratic objection.

Lott promised in a radio address last month to whistle the presidential salute if a budget deal were struck before the recess. It was; he didn't.

"' After checking ... , it's against the rules of the Senate," Lott told reporters. "I knew Senator Byrd would call my hand." Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., is a stickler for protocol.

"I couldn't whistle," Lott said, and so hummed the song quietly.

Seeking accommodation with Democrats to move legislation has often left Lott in disfavor with fellow Republican conservatives. At the same time, Senate Democratic leader Tom Dasch!e of

South Dakota, have often used parliamentary tactics to tie the Senate in knots.

Lott often erupts, only io soften his words later.

A recent example: Asked by reporters his advice for Weld in his duel with Helms, the Senate Foreign Relations chairman, over his nomination as ambas.sador to Mexico.

"Accept consideration for anotl,erposition, or'look for work," Lott said.

A .day later, he took a more conciliatory tone, saying he would be willing to sit down with Weld and Helms - although not as intermediary.

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., the No. 2 Republican on Helms' committee and an advocate for giving Weld a hearing, said Lou has done well in negotiating a difficult path.

"I believe he does face -every day - extraordinary challenges, not only on subject matter, but also the personal' rel a ti onships with the White House, the House leadership and the quite talented, articulate and opinionated members of the Senate who are constantly bending his ear," Lugar said.

The news media have become a favorite Lott target.

He complained last weelc about scant coverage when a West Virginia man sporting a swastika tattoo on his hand appeared at a Democratic news conference at the Capitol.

In an interview with NBC radio, Lott said: "If I had brought a couple in here from my state, and the guy had a swastika or something like that on his arm or his hand, I would have been absolutely crucified and very likely would have been run out of office."

When Congress returns after Labor Day, Lott must deal with the 1-lclms-Weld spat. Some conservatives,carcfully watching, arc sure to react with outrage if he doesn't stand squarely behind Helms.

Also on Lott's platter: appropriations bills, "fast-track" trade legislation, product liability reform, a major highway bill.

Furthermore, Democrats have threatcncda filibusterifRepublicans don't end their investigation of the .election of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. And Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Russell Feingold, D-Wis., are threatening other delaying tactics on behalf of their campaign-finance reform legislation.

For the time being, at least, Lott can enjoy the praise of colleagues for his role in the budget deal.

"There were some that doubted we could do it, and there were some that didn't want us to do it," he said.

"' "But in the end, when you get • ::! .:z: 85 votes in the Senate for the ? balanced budget act ... , it's (,;) truly bipartisan. It's over-

Parks stressed his political and management skills over any overriding vision for the future of the department. "The single most important thing is not to have a single most important thing," he said.

.... , ... , ...................... •.

Following expected approval by the City Council next Tuesday, Parks, a 32-year veteran of the nation's second-largest police department, will succeed former chief Willie Williams for a five-year term.

Parks, 53, will be called upon to lead the LAPD through yet another difficult period, as the pressing need for post-riot calm has been replaced by a demand for better administration.

Williams, the department's first black 1:hief, started off with great - and, some say, impossible- expectations, but he finished his term in conflict, bitterness and petty scandal.

Williams had replaced the controversial Daryl Gates, who was ousted as part of the fallout over the l 991 Rodney King beating and the riots that followed the acquittal of four officers.

Williams enjoyed great public support for most of his tenure. Yet he struggled under new procedures making the chief more accountable to the mayor, a reform resulting from the ·trouble in getting rid of Gates ..

'Tm sure there's going to be a little bit of disappointment," said League president Dave Hepburn.

But Kroeker, in a news conference, called on officers to back the chief-designate.

"If you have supported me, now I need you to support Chief. Parks," said Kroeker. "I need you to get behind him. I need you to have a sense of cohesion."

Although not yet confirmed, Parks acted Wednesday as if the City Council's approval was a done deal.

Less than an hour after Riordan's announcement, a police officer on bicycle patrol was shot and wounded, and Parks headed to the hospital where the officer was taken.

In 1994, Williams was sharply criticized by the rankand-file when he failed to return immediately from a Las Vegas trip after an officer was fatally shot.

Kennard named new head of FCC

By Jeannine Aversa WASHINGTON (AP)-President Clinton tapped the ehieflawyer of the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday to take over the agency that helps shape Americans' telephone and television service.

If confirmed, Bill Kennard would be the first black FCC chairman.

Kennard, a Democrat, would replace Reed Hundt, who said he intends to step down as soon as a successor is confirmed. In May, Clinton had named Kennard, 40, to be a commissioner on the fivemember FCC.

Clinton also announced the nomination of Michael Powell, the son 9fretired Army Gen. Colin Powell, to a Republican-designated seat on the FCC.

Kennard's Senate confirmation proceeding could be rocky.

Sen. Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., and the Congressional Black Caucus have pushing their own candidate, communications attorney Ralph Everett, who also is black.

Caucus chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., would not say whether the group would continue to push Everett, reverse course and back Kennard or oppose Kennard. "We're only saying that we are in negotiations with the White House," she said in a phone interview.

Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., also could try to block Kennard's nomination because of an FCC action that forced an Asheville, N.C., broadcaster off the air.

But lobbyists for broadcast, cable and telephone companies generally welcomed a Kennard chairmanship, saying he was a good listener and a consensus builder.

··Fairness and due process and being sure that everyone's views arc heard arc really important to

him," said Mary McDennott, general counsel of the United States Telephone Association, whose Baby Bell members must get FCC perm1ss1on to offer long-distance service to their own customers.

At the FCC, Kennard pushed for deep cable rate cuts, promoted policies aimed at boosting minority ownership of communications properties and improved the FCC's success rate in a federal appeals court here - where most FCC challenges end up -from 55 percent to 85 percent.

"I expect him to push a continuation of the direction Reed Hundt has begun," said Andy Schwartzman, president of the Media Access Project, a watchdog group.

"I expect.him to push very hard to promote competition in services available at the consumer level, to promote rapid entry of local telephone companies into long-distance and long-distance companies into local phone service," Schwartzman said.

But some Republicans have criticized the Hundt FCC for being too regulatory, particularly implementing a 1996 law to deregulate communications industries. Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., has said he does not want a Hundt clone to head the agency.

ABC lobbyist Billy Pitts isn't convinced Kennard would be. "There is an unfortunate canard going on about Kennard. Some have said he's a Reed Hundt stunt double or an Al Gore lite. I personally have found him very bright and open minded."

Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., whose panel oversees FCC nominations, had no immediate comment.

Democrats. One of tne t'wo Republican seats is vacant. Except for FCC Commissioner Susan Ness, all the other commissioners will be new once all the nominees are confirmed.

The "new" FCC will continue the difficult job of trying to deregulate the telecommunications industries so that competition evolves, rates go down and consumer.choices go up.

The FCC's decisions will shape communications policy into the 21st century.

In May, Cl in ton nominated Harold Furchtgott-Roth, the House Commerce Committee's chief economist, to a Republican seat that has been vacant form ore than a year.

He's expected to nominate Gloria Tristani, a commissioner of the New Mexico State Corporation Commission, a regulatory body, to fill orie of the Democratic seats.

The Senate Commerce Committee plans to hold hearings in September on all four FCC contenders, vote on the nominations in October and send them to the Senate for action.

Before joining the FCC in 1993, Kennard was a partner at

· the law firm of Verner, Liipfert, Bernhard, McPherson and Hand and was assistant general counsel for the National Association of Broadcasters.

World Trade ·. Center bomb . · suspect 'falls' for · sketch artist

NEW YORK (AP) - Forget the federal conspiracy charge that could land him in prison for life. Ramzi Yoi1scf apparently is looking for love.

Yousef - the 30-ycar-old engineer on trial as the alleged mastermind of the deadly ten-orist bombing of the World Trade Center -made a play for a courtroom sketch artist bst week.

Artist Christine Come II, 42, said Wednesday she knew she was in trouble when the dark-haired, well-groomed defendant turne<l to the gallery during a pretrial hearing and "gave me one of those up-and-under smiles."

Later, Yousef's attorney approached Cornell and told her his client wanted a date ifhe beats the Ien-orist rap, she said.

The married target of Yousef's attention was mildly flustered, yet flattered. She said that Yousef, who prosecutors say fancies himself an international playboy, makes a good sketch subject because of his "intense eyes .... His face is interesting."

But Cornell replied to his invitation with only an innocuous 'Thank you."

"He hasn't looked at me since," she said, chuckling. "I guess it's over."

By Evan Perez MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -And1ew Cunanm1 was nu1oing a stomach wound before his suicide and investigators believe he may have been wounded in one of the five murders he's suspected of committing.

Police found bloody bandages, couon swabs, gauze pads and penicillin pills in the Miami Beach houseboat where Cunanan ended his life wim a gunshot to the head July 23.

"I believe he did have a wound on his stomach, and he was treating himself witli tl1e medical supplies found on board," FBI spokeswoman Anne Figueiras said Wednesday.

Cunanan, 27, was the prime suspect in the point-blank slaying of fashiondesignerGianni VersaceJuly 15 killings of four men in Minnesota, Illinois and New Jersey in late April and early May.

Business & Trade =E=!-Microsoft, Apple end rivalry

By DAVIDE. KALISH , BOSTON (AP)· Ending years of imp:1ssioneJ ri\'alry. Apple Computer Inc. anJ MicrosoftCrnp.joltcJ the computer world by agreeing to cooperate in a deal that gives MicrosoCt a stake in Apple's sur-1·ival.

ll1e mol'c on Wednesday snmned Mac use1, who consider Apple a cn1cial bufl"cr :1gainst Microsoft's domination of computer technology. Apple "s su1i-cndcraboshows how f;u·

its fo1tunes hal'c slid since late 1980s when it w,Ls widely reg,u-dcd ,L, the easiest computer to use.

When Apple cofounde1·,u1J newly named b .. 1:u·d member Steve Jobs announced the alliance to the MacWorld Expo here. the audience of Mac faithful booed and gasped.

· .. You've got to be kidding." exclaimed one audience member.

Bill Gates. chic!' executive of Microsoft. spoke live on an O\'erhead screen at the MacWorld convention to praise the new alli,ulC'c. But his mere appca1~1ncc spull"cd ,mother round of indign,u1t shouts.

Gates' face looming over tl1e audience w,Ls eetily n~miniscent of the famous .. 1984" aJ that year tliat bunched the Macintosh with a rebel snm~hing a Big Brother figure on an overhead projection.The ad. which ran only once during the Super

13owL was meant to signify Apple's rcj,xtion of IBM computers that u;cd Microsoft's arcane DOS operating system, the predecessor to Windows.

··we have to let go of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft needs to lose," Jobs told the crowd. '"The competition between Microsoft and Apple is over ,1, far as I'm concerned," he said.

The pact was signed early Wednesday morning after a year of secretive on-and-off talks. Microsoft said it would invest$ 150 million in Apple - worth about 7 percent of tl1e strnggling computer maker. It also is paying Apple ,rn undisclosed sum that cou Id add up to hundreds of millions more to resolve bickering over each other's patents.

Microsoft agreed to continue to rele,1,e upgrade; of its popularOffice busines., software in Macintosh formats for the next five ye,u-s. Office is already the single biggest Mac application. For its prut, Apple said it would make Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser the e,L,iest choice for accessing the Internet from a Macintosh-based computer.

Witl1 Microsoft agreeing to continue writing Macintosh programs, Apple is hoping that other software makers will keep creating new Macintosh products.

Moreover, the formeropponents are now freer to integrate the best aspects of each other's software, raising the possibility distinctions between Mac and Windows computers will blur.

Such potential sharing unnerved Mac users, who long have seen Apple as their last and best hope against Microsoft 'sdominance. But Api:;;e executives said they would try to keep Mac and Windows distinct.

The alliance was announced along with the appointment a new, more activist board at Apple. Investors seemed to agree the changes would give Apple more of a fighting chance now. News of the alliance sent Apple's stock up 4 6.56 per share on the Nasdaq Stock Market to$ 26.31. Microsoft, meanwhi I e, rose 12.5 cents to$ 143.44 on the Nasdaq.

"We think Apple makes a huge contribution to the computer indust1y," Gates told the MacWorld audience, adding that the combined expenise of the two companies should help· bring technological innovations to market faster.

Microsoft and Apple also agreed to collaborate on software written in Java, a computer language that enables software to work on different operating systems.

The executor is concemed.ibout its ability to c ... omplete the DHLI settlement and have the estate receive the agreed-upon amount as' quickly as possible, said the BOS' re-port signed by Trust Officer Russell Snow and counsel Rodney J. Jacob.

Snow said the estate will immediatdy invest the settlement payment once obtained.

"Assuming an 8% annual return, every single day that passes without obtaining the payment costs the Estate more than $60,000. Every month that passes without consummating the transaction means that the Estate has lost approximately $2 million," said the executor.

The executor, however, cited that heir claimants David Moncrieff and Kaelani Kinney have taken actions that jeopardize the possibility of an early completion of the transaction and possibly even imperil theestate'sreceiptofthe settlement payment.

The executor said Moncrieff's lawsuit against DHLI asserting that the sale of the stock is invalid "potentially puts a cloud over that title, interfering with the transfer of the stock and crc:ating uncertainty and delay in obtaining the $282 million."

Moncrieff, guardian for Hillblom 's alleged daughter Jellian Cuartero, filed a crosscomplaint against DI-I[ Corporation and OHL! before the Superior Court in an attempt to stop the alleged "sham"

settlements between the two firms and the executor.

Moncrieff contended that since the same individuals control DHLI, DHLC and the executor, those lawsuits are a sham.

DHLI and the executor are currently involved in litigation in the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce regarding Hillblom's DHLI stock.

DHLC and the executor are also currently involved in litigation in the US District Court for the Northern District of California over Hillblom's DHLC stock.

DHLC and DHLI and their shareholders claimed they had certain rights to purchase the stock owned by a shareholder who aied pursuant to shar.eholders' agreements.

On the other hand, the executor said Kinney, through counsel David Lujan, continues to insist that she will not review any material unless unconditionally promised access to all the papers.

The lack of cooperation of certain heir-claimants, the executor said, has already contributed to the failure of the estate to receive the payment on Aug. 4 as originally accepted.

The DHLI Board is reportedly scheduled to meet in Bermuda on Sept. I, 1997 to conclude the settlement and transfer of funds.

The issue was heard yesterday. Superior Court Presiding Judge Alexandro Castro plac~d the motion under advisement.

George W. Black, a board member of the National Transportation Safety Board. told NBC's '"Today"' that human error likely was a cause because the plane appears lD have flown into a hill. a process known as "'controlled tfo,h1 into 1em1in:·

-:.Controlled flight into ten-ain is usually an etTor on someone's part and it docs have all the earmarks of controlled flight into tctTain,"' Black said by telephone from Guam.

Burned and scratchcu, some of the more fortunate survivors told of being hurled from the plane sti II attached to their seats, arid of turning back in their escape from the bu ming jet to pull fellow passengers to safety.

"I felt the plane shake. and shake more, and then ii was a sudden drop. It felt like there was no gravity." Song Yun-ho. 29, said from his bed at Guam's Navy hospital, cuts raked across his face, arms and leg. "When I woke up. the plane had crashed."

Borja said the concern is a citizenship issue. and should be taken up in the Covenant Section 902 talks with the federal government.

Gov. Froilan C. Tcnorio's representatives to the so-called 902 talks have raised the possibility of imposing restrictions on the granting of U.S. citizenship, but the Cl int on administration dismissed the proposal as '"unconstitutional."

According to Borja, however, the CNMI can still raise the issue in the 902 talks, which was suspended last June by the governor.

Song turned back to pull out another passenger, saying he could not bear to leave him behind. The passenger also survived.

The plane was caITying mostly Korean tourists, including many families heading to Guam· s tropical beaches for vacation.

Flight attendant Oh Sang-hee, 25. lay in bed in another room at the Navy hospital, face burned slightly and hair singed.

Oh had felt the jet shaking more than usual throughout the flight, wotTying her so that she said at one point she looked outside -only to see flames surging.

She, too, spoke of being jolted from the jet, while sti II in her scat, by the impact of the crash, hc:r scat belt still wrapped around her.

Another survivor, 35-year-olc.l American Hong Seong, said he had not noticed anything out of the ore.Ii nary until the plane's landing gear hit the treetops.

"The two rows of seats in front were tumbling toward me ... that's when I heard the screaming,·· said Hong, who was at the same hospital.

will decide that it will no longer attract new investments and, consequently, will no longer hire more alien workers.

Speaker Diego T. Benavente (R-Saipan) said Wednesday that the H.B. 10-136 draft cutTently being considered by the conference commiuee retains the Senate proposal. which limits alien workers to a two-year stay. but allows them to return totheCNMI after 30 days.

Benavente said the House, in tum, will propose at least a one year period before an alien worker who finished his two-year contract could be hired again by a CNMI employer.

The original House bill proposec.l a four-year limit for alien workers, which the Senate amended to a two-year limit.

Relatives veered between optimism and despair. "I havr: hope." said Kim Moon-Hyun, who declined to say which of his relatives had been on the flight. Then: "I don't even want to imagine what I will face outside."

Others already knew. "Everyone c.licd, everyone died," cried one sobbing woman in a black dress who collapsed as she walked through the customs area at Guam International Airport.

"I feel like he must be alive now. I can't accept that he is deac.1 yet," saic.l Cho Chang- Yong, whose younger brother was on the flight. "I wonder about the wi Id dogs. I wonder whether parts of bodies will be missing."

on condition of anonymity. has said that the bill "will now c.lie a natural death," but the Clinton administration's recent proposal to impose federal immigration and wage laws "resuITectcd" the proposed law.

Governor Tenorio, in a February interview, said he will veto the bill.

Opponents of the bill, which include the Saipan Chamber of Commerce, said the legislation would mean greater expenses for employers who would pass on the additional costs to consumers.

The bill's original version was introducec.l more than a year ago by Rep. Ana S. Teregeyo, and is cosponsored by Reps. Karl T. Reyes, David M. Apatang (R-Saipan), Michael P. Tenorio (R-Saipan) a1id Rosiky F Camacho (D-Saipan).

YOUR BIRTHDAY By Stella Wilder

Born today, you have a quiet intensity which can surprise those who do not anticipate your remarkable inner strength. In fact, your will and your resolve will be virtually invulnerable, but you will not become aggressive as a result. On the contrary, no matter how much.power and control you have, you remain gentle, nurturing and kind in your interactions with others. You will do anything to avoid oversteppiHg your bounds. When your back is against the wall, however, you can be quite a fighter'

You have high ideals and even higher ambitions, and you insist on being respected as one of the best in the business. Fortunately, you don't expect to receive something for nothing and you're always willing to work hard for the things you want.

Also born on this date are: Sam Elliot, actor; Melanie Griffith, actress; Whitney Houston, singer; ~en Norton, boxer.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

Earlier Wednesday, Monica Seles outlasted on-court temperatures of 96 dc~recs Fahrenheit (35 degrees Cel;ius) and a determined Sandrinc Testud to post a 6-7 (6-8), 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 secondround victory.

Seles, the No. 2 seed, needed 2:23 under wilting sunshine to put away Testud, who was up a set and serving for the match at 5-3 when Seles started her comeback.

In other matches, 1994 champion Amy Frazier had a 6-1, 6-3 victory overthird-seeded Amanda Coetzerof South Africa, who had reached at least the semifinals in eight tournaments this year; defending champion Lindsay Davenport defeated Yayuk Basuki of

'There is no way to att:Iibute the lower catch rates to anything but the purse seiners and Iongliners," Bigler said. An MBC publication notes that "'the commercial fishing and population impact on the Majuro/ Amo fishe,y is becoming apparent.

Fishe1111en observe that when El Nino kicks in, the fish simply move to other pmts of the Pacific. Fishem1en don't get any bites because the higher water temperature has chased away the tuna. But in the late 1990s, the fish m-e still biting, they arc just smaller and apparently less numerous.

BiglerpointedoutthatintJ1e 1980's "any Joe blow could land a200to 300

"I'm having trouble deciding whatiwanttodo,"shesaid. "Even when the ball is coming, I'm thinking of four different shots I can hit instead of just hitting the ball hard, which is my game."

"I ca11 't believe the idiots said I was faking," Griffin said. "Tell Roy Jones to let him get down on one knee and not pay attention and let me hit him as hard as I can. That's all I have to say about that."

The first punch was a light tight thatJoneslandedafterGtiffindropped to a knee to escape an onslaught. The left hook that followed, however, was solid, catching Griffin flush in tlie face.

haven't had a chance to think about it."

The Avalanche have the opportunity to match the Rangers' off er. If they don't, the Rangers w i 11 have to give the Avalanche five first-round picks in future NHL entry drafts.

"We respect his choice and his right to sign an offer sheet from another NHL team," Avalanche general manager Pierre Lacroix said in a statement Wednesday night. "Our fans can rest assured that we will make the best decision for the future of their hockey club and our franchise."

Messier's departure created a big stir and a lot of negative response from fans in New York, but the Rangers wasted little time in trying to win the fans back with this major signing.

In 655 career games, Sakic has chalked up 307 goals and 513 assists, along with 261 penalty minutes. Sakic has collected I 00 or more points on fouroccasions, and 40 or more goals three times.

His best season was 1995-96, when he had 51 goals and 69 assists. He has finished in the top 10 in scoring in four of his nine seasons.

But Sakic, playing in small-

market Quebec for most of his career, was always regarded as an undcrrat_ed superstar until his emergence in the 1996 Stanley Cup playoffs when he set the playoff record with most game-winning goals.

A native of Burnaby, British Columbia, Sakic was originally drafted by the Nor<liques with their second choice, 15th overall, in the first round of the 1987 Entry Draft.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder was named the Nordiques team captain in the 1992-93 season and has represented his team in the AliStar game for the past seven seasons. He was unable to participate in last season's game because of injury.

In addition, Sakic represented Team Canada in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.

Sakic is a Group Two free agent and under the collective bargaining agreement, Colorado has seven days to match the offer.

"We'll find out in a week," Sakic said of his future. "I've said it before. It's out of my control now. It's what the Avalanche want to do now."

MANHATTAN BEACH, California (AP) - Martina Hingis extended her record this year to 55-1 with a 6-2, 6-2 romp over Anne Gaelle-Sidot of France in the second round of the Acura Classic.

Hingis, the world's topranked player, overcame Sidot's powerful forehand in just 59 minutes on Wednesday night.

The 16-year-old from Switzerland has won nine tournaments this year, with her only loss coming to Iva Majoli in the finals of the French Open in June.

Martina Hingis of Switzerland returns a shot to Anne-Gail/e Sidot of France during their match Wednesday in Manhattan Beach, Calif. Hingis won, 6-2, 6-2. AP

"I won another match," Hingis said. "I feel good."

Despite her formidable record, Hin.gis didn't look per-

feet against Sidot. The French teen-ager surprised Hingis several times with a whipsaw forehand and a strong one-handed backhand.

"She was a very hard player," Hingis said. "I was just better at the more important points, but she was right there."
