Mind you, there's a lot of reading and research work which you must dobetween the JoetenlKiyu Library, the legislature and NMC's library andarchives. There's hardly any room for political jockeying. It's tooimportant a task to relegate to the usual provincial politics that normallythrows all reasonable discussions into a chaotic personality clashes.

The Governor has heeded that delegates review amendments whichcame out of the second constitutional convention. He's asked thatdelegates refrain from using this important venue to try their hands assuperlawmakers. It's the wrong attitude and if this is how you view yourrole, then perhaps you've entered the wrong door for all the wrongmotives. It involves serious issues requiring critical reflection andreasoned analysis. This is one time in your life when you will havedisplayed your true colors in critical thinking. Thus, the need to buckledown and review all principal provisions and amendments to the consti­tution.

There are provisions that require strengthening while others deservetrashing. How you handle these issues will reflect upon your maturity indisposingofrealconstitutional issues. Ifyou will,Icovered the MicronesianConstitutionalConvention in 1975 and l've learned and understood all thatmay go wrong or right. I am fairly familiar with each of you, yourtendencies and inclinations, who you work for and the quiet agenda thatyou may have tucked under your shirt sleeve or skirt ready for champion­ingat the expense of posterity. I am familiar with issues that have forcedindigent families into shameful confrontations and vengeful disintegra­tion.

Get down to basics and do your homework now. After all, none of uscould fit the shoes of Abraham Lincoln nor Thomas Jefferson. It'll befoolhardy to even attempt fancy footing with it. Every provision andamendment has its own history. It is important to have a workingknowledge oneach of them and the actual intent that previous conventionshave placed in their consideration and approval. The Ques~i.Q~ of intent isvery important in the sense that you must carefully review whether suchintent hasn't lost its meanin~ and relevance. A good example is the "rightto bear arm". Measured against all the rampant killings of innocent peopleacross thecountry, it has evolved into a national controversy and an agendathat must be addressed. It has its own history and it definitely has lost itsintent and relevance.

Again, refrain from using this venue to propel a new political career. Ifyou disagree, then perhaps we both should be prepared to dance the tangoquite frequently.

Foreclosure of First Family HomesIn recent years, we've seen in the pages of local newspapers a rash of

foreclosures of first family homes in the islands. It is an event that bringssad tidings to this scribe in that the number of foreclosures involvingindigenous people keeps increasing.

A number of things are reflected in these foreclosures: I). Thecontinuing sluggish state of the economy of the Northern Mariana Islands.2). A prolonged period of unemployment for either or both parents. Thus,their inability to meet monthly home installments. 3). One or both parentshave seen fit to dump precious family income on shabu or drugs at theexpense of the security of their children.

The first tworeasons may not hold water in that the housing p.ogram hasdone its best to refinance accounts that have suffered timely remittance. Itis the third reason where there's a seemingly serious problems among firsttimehomeowners or young newly weds. They've engaged the use and saltof shabu (quick windfall profit) to dominate all family activities to theirdetriment. This is the group who deserves monitoring with the commit­ment to lead them out of a vice that nets nothing else but filial disintegra­tion.

The notion of losing the most important family property may not beunusual. It is, however, a tragic incident in the sense that one has alloweda vice to displace and disrupt the livelihood of young innocenrchildren. Assuch, children are relocated from safe and sanitary homes to squatter-likequarters. Stability is a very important aspect in the growth and develop­ment of toddlers. Subjecting them to unsolicited instability is a crime initself. I find this new trend rather alarming and perhaps it is an issue thatall concerns should address forthwith.

Speedsters Country No MoreI've heard people quibbling about the use of laser equipment to detect

speedsters on various areas on the island. DPS has done this communitya whale of good in this regard. It has forced pedal happy drivers to slowdown some. It has resulted in the safety of everyone traveling the publichighways. It has ended normal highway demolition derbies on weekends.

You know the law and each time you violate it, increasing the chancesof inflicting crippling or fatal injuries to others, you will pay for it.Remember, each trip to the counter at DPS costs $30.00. So make up yourmind: Is it thirty on traffic violations or thirty dollars per trip to thecounter? Remember, driving is a privilege not a right. The court will denyyou this privilege if you become a danger to this community behindwheels. Drive carefully and follow the law!

"If the decision of the Board isexactly what (Pangelinan) asksus todo then wewill do that," saidthe chairman.

On the other hand, Quituguasaid for him to come pack to theLegislature and ask an extensionwill be contrary to what theprevi­ous PSS officials had committedto with the lawmakers a few yearsago.

He pointed out that the applica­bility of such statute should havebeen priorto 1990 if notPSS wasgranted extension for two con­secutive times,

Quitugua indicated that goingback to the Legislature puts theBoard in a very awkward posi­tion.

"It looks like we are veryindecisive...and are not takingthemandate of the Public Law 7-45seriously," saidthechairman,"Wehave to comply with the law...wehave to do all our means so 'thatvacantpositions willbe filledup."

expressed the need to amend thestatute to give exemption to thosenon-resident teachers who arepresently employed in the PublicSchool System.

Pangelinan suggested that theprincipals should decide whetheror not to renew the employmentcontracts of the non-residentteachers,

The principal "aired" his con­cems to the Board consideringthat the law affects the employ­ment contracts of 17 HopwoodJunior High School teachers,whom he described as "exem­plary and dedicated mentors."

Pangelinan said these teachersdeserve better treatment from thepeopleof theCommonwealththanbe arbitrarily terminated fromtheir employment.

Quitugua saidHopwood's con­cerns will be discussed and re­viewed before coming up with anappropriateactionduring the nextBoard meeting.

Marsh also acknowledged thatthe term.

Underfederal law,ammunitionmeans more than just bullets.. Italso means cartridges, he added.Marsh was trying'to.convince thecourt that a statutory provision onfirearms is not vague as claimedby the defense. .

The prosecution also did notconcede that the Office of theAttorney General failed to state acriminal charge in the informa-·tion filed with the court. .

Marsh warned that if the fire­arms statute isdeclared vague andunconstitutional, such action willlead to the proliferation of unli­censed guns and ammunitions.

Camacho seeks dismissalofguns and ammo charge

By Ratty santosFor the Variety

A DRIVER who used to work forformer Governor LorenzoGuerrero yesterday asked the Su­perior Court to dismiss a criminalcase against him saying the gov­ernment failed to state a criminalcharge,

George Camacho asked JudgeMiguel Demapan to exoneratehim of weapons and ammunitioncharged during a motion hearingyesterday morning.

Defense council Brien SansNicholas argued that aside fromthe failure of the government tostate a criminal charge the pros­ecution also filed a complaintbasedonconstitutionalprovisionsthat are vague.

For example, the word ammu­nition, he said, is not defined inthe statute.

''There is no criminal offense..,there's no unlawful conduct."Nicolas said. The defense lawyerasked the court to examine theconstitutionalityof the lawonfire­arms and ammunitions.

Camacho was arrested by po­lice last year following the sei­zure of guns and ammunitionswhich according to the govern­mentwereeitherillegal or that thedefendant is not permitted to pos­sess.

Responding to the defender'sarguments, Assistant AttorneyGeneral Russell E. Marsh admit­ted that provisions on firearms.and ammunitions "are not perfectlaws."

Mandela kicks wife out of Cabinetobedient junior member of Cabi­net.

Mrs. Mandela hasbeen the onlyprominent ANC official to voicediscontent at thepaceofeconomicand social changes in the 11months since black South Afri­cans swept away more than threecenturies of white-minority rule.

Commentators were dividedMonday on how serious a threatMrs.MandelaandherfellowANCmilitants pose to Mandela's gov­ernment.

Sipho Maseko, a lecturer at theUniversity of the Western Cape,said Mrs. Mandela could be aformidable opponent becauseshe"articulates aspirations of SouthAfrica's most downtrodden com­munities in a way no other ANCleader does."

Her spokesman, AlanReynolds, predicted she wouldbebackingovemment eventually.

"I certainly don't think this is theend of Winnie Mandela," he said..

by white authorities who houndedher tirelesslyduring her husband' ~27-year stay in prison, when sherose to international fame as ananti-apartheid campaigner.

A year later, she was convictedof a political kidnapping in whicha 13-year-old boy was murdered.She paid a fine.

"No, no, this should not havehappened. If she had made a mis­take, they should have sat downto talk with her,": said AlbertBooysens, an unemployed la­borer. "She worked hard for thefreedom of our people."

Mandela said he did not expectMrs.Mandela's departure tocausemuch of a rift. "I am convincedthat I have the situation well inhand," he said.
