:: Find Saipan ::

On a positive note, check out this cool site!! Granted … he sure is making a lot of noise for nothing. The guy found 11 old slides that his grandfather took pictures of Saipan while station here. That part is cool. But he is charging 40USD for a 13 by 19 inkjet print and 25USD for 8.5×11 that he more likely printed from a FedEx Kinko’s down the street from his house. Subsequently he is milking more by adding on the Amelia Earhartstory, which I am not sure, how it fits into the picture at all. But I guess he needed some kind of angle to sell this soon to be produced mystery of Saipan documentary, which by the way he is pre-selling for 25 USD…
Good o American entrepreneur sprit is strong with this one. I am sure he’ll be packaging authentic WWII Saipan battle sand in little bottles soon. With genuine can of air that Amelia Earhart might have smelled while in CNMI.

Bottle of Sand 49.95USD and Can of air 19.95USD
ACT within 30 sec and you’ll get a rust sample from a bona fide Japanese gun emplacement !

In the Front page of Saipan Tribune the public is warned of …

Looming economical crises?
Incompetent Governor and Government?
Financial crises at CUC that will start the good O rolling black out?
The under-manned and under-equipped Department of Public Safety that can’t seem to keep tract of its maximum-security inmates?
The inept immigration services that has no idea where thousands of former garment workers are?
Stray dogs the roam around Hotel Street and Garapan, which pose a danger to our children and the tourist industry?

Nope none of that ..

Public is warned of a pink eye outbreak … DAM YOU PINK EYE !!!!!!!!

Can anyone really believe this, an inmate who was placed in a Maximum-security prison cell, apparently walked out of its cell on Monday and escaped? How does one walked out of a prison complex let alone a maximum-security cell? I mean I figure at a minimum the doors would be locked from the inside and outside, to prevent prisoners from just strolling out. The frightening part of this ordeal is the fact the prison is located in the center of the Department of Police, Traffic division, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the count houses. Should someone notice a bright orange jump suit wearing person walking around all the way to Coral Ocean Point in Koblerville.

Once again I can’t stress enough of the fact you just can’t train monkeys to type. Please note I am not calling the local resident workers monkeys by any means. Just stating a fact you can’t force a company to hire local residents when THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED for the position. I just don’t seem to get what the current government is trying to do. They are firing their own unqualified workers to save their budget why are they trying to force us to hire more local employees. And now they want us to train and promote them to management and supervisory position that is filled by QUALIFIED nonresident workers. I know we have a ice problem in the CNMI but.. am I the only person think this is retarded? On the above note, I bet if we had nonresidential police and security workers in our prisons system, be we wouldn’t have any maximum-security inmates walking out of our prisons.

Just a side note… going on record that the American Mediscience University (AMU) is a fucken SCAM. Its sad how a little bribe can turn a blind eye for the CNMI board of licensing, once again I feel I am the only person taking crazy pills on issues like this. On a more interesting note.. both of the CNMI state licensing board votes for AMU and Emmanuel College Vocational Nursing School was 3 to 1. Elain H. Orilla, Jose San Nicolas and Malua Peter votes to approve and Eloise Furey Abstained for Emmanuel, I like to see what the vote count was for AMU.

Dam .. what a bitchy day … I am just going to stop at this two.. not going to touch on the subject of potential fishing industry in SAIPAN.

Also has anyone heard about some Korean firm purchasing La Fiesta in the last week or so.

Okay .. once in a while … every morning I check in to other more popular and older local blogger site. Granted my voice most of the time is at the far left side of the field. Once in a while a blogger hits right at home. Please forgive me Jeffrey C. Turbitt for copying and pasting your post.. but I want your post !! Its to funny and so true.

Enough on the government, 10 Random Thoughts, MV 5
By Jeffrey C. Turbitt

It gets depressing and boring to focus on our lousy government or things we don’t have, so I have ten random thoughts on life in the CNMI on my mind as the tonic for the government and the ridiculous lawn signs that continue to spring up like weeds.

1. One of the strangest experiences on Saipan is picking up a package from the older gentleman at the Chalon Kanoa post office, Bob Powers. The man has his own system, and I’m never quite sure I have all the rules down pat – even after five years now. He is a nice guy with a soft spot for kids who must seemingly establish some very rigid order for handing over a yellow, marked card and receiving a package in return. I don’t quite understand how that act became like calculus in the Marine Corps, but it did.

2. Why do our island youth wear winter ski hats each day in a place hotter than a box of Tinian peppers? They’re wearing shorts, zorries and a tea shirt. I don’t get the ski hat completing that list. A person doesn’t wear a winter parka and a speed-o bathing suit in Alaska , and I remember MC Hammer making those fashionable for a while? Why would a ski hat ever be needed in the CNMI? That ranks up there with the all time confusing question from Steven Wright: Why did Japanese kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

3. Do the ants here have an email distribution list? How can I put some food down, stop in the restroom and by the time I’m back, the ants have gathered faster than folks to a spontaneous super sale on Budweiser at Joeten.

4. How much do these Mormon Missionaries here spend on ties and sunscreen, and given the ties, are they now working for the Fitial Administration, or are they more concerned with Mitt Romney’s U.S. presidential chances?

5. How much ink could be saved if editors deleted the words “common sense” and “I’ve been saying this for years,” from Ambrose Bennett’s Letters to the Editor? I like how Bennett agitates, but please stop with those two phrases AB.

6. In a similar vein, was Jaime Vergara one of the Navajo Code Talkers during World War II? Vergara knows a lot of words, I think I do as well, but I almost never have any idea what Vergara is saying.

7. MHS Teacher James Yangetmai claims his niece “never heard of or even cared about PAWS” like many people on the island. Earth to James, come in. Are you aware we’re surrounded by ocean? I feel I must check. Did you miss the hundreds of references to PAWS in both papers, the radio, television news, the internet, the various community events and word of mouth? PAWS is about five or six people who in their spare time away from family and career see the animals in unbelievable distress and don’t just ignore it and drive away “like many people,” they actually try to help, but hey, your niece didn’t get rewarded by a private individual for returning a lost dog to her neighbor, so good idea to tarnish them. I definitely believe the part where you said people don’t care about PAWS. Your letters were the most revolting thing in the newspaper since the “Filipinos Go Home” protest.

8. What kind of person thinks walking down the steps at the Grotto in high heels is a good idea? Isn’t that place dangerous enough without doing something that asinine? Why not just use a pogo stick to go down next time, which is a slightly better idea than the monorail. I’ve seen this high heel adventure countless times and I hope to not see it anymore.

9. Are the people collecting money at the various traffic lights getting ready for a dodge ball tournament in Mad Max’s Thunderdome or something? I’m all for raising money for good causes, but kids dodging in and out of traffic and laying guilt on people stuck at a rarely working traffic light is a bad idea.

10. Some of our schools have digital multimedia projectors in every classroom, wireless internet, an absolute plethora of computers, plasma screen televisions and other goodies, yet no toilet paper and thirty plus students per class in run down termite infested facilities. Does this strike anyone else as being absurd and an only in the CNMI situation?

I love to read the letters to the editors, because for the most part the letters are humors. Not because its not well written or the letters themselves funny but because the type of bitching and arguments that are written in. Like a bad online forum with trolls starting a flame war its as good as it gets for a newspaper editors.

Here are the two hot topics that is happing now…

James Yangetmai Vs. PAWS Vs. Adam Hardwicke

Letters from Adam

Letters from James

Letters from Paws

For Casino Vs. Not for Casino

Letters from the people for Casino on Saipan
Letters from the people who are not for Casino on Saipan

If you have the type to read threw it Enjoy!!

Yesterday was one of the first good steps towards recovery of this Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Federal court determined that the CNMI government has no basis for the law barring alien workers working in certain job categories such as taxi cab driver, secretary, bookkeeper, accounting clerk, messenger, receptionist, surface tour boat operator, bus driver, including tour bus drivers, and telephone switchboard operator. Now the question at hand is, what would happen from this decision, will the CNMI government sweep it under their rug and ignore it. Or make swiping changes to its labor practice including the retarded law of 20% of your work force must be of local or IR work force. I have to say I feel sorry for all the Middle Eastern guys who married local girls just to get their IR status to drive a taxicab. I believe me the local girls they married were not … um cream of the crop. Have you actually seen the break down of how many actual local people drive taxicabs compare to foreigners driving taxicabs?

On a sadder note, one of Saipan landmark store is shutting down its operation after six decade of doing business on the island. ESCO’s bake house, located in Capital Hill is shutting down, I am going to miss their apigig, and other local delicacy not found anywhere else on this island.

Benefit from American education… think about it. That is a strong statement, sadly that is not the case with the educational system on this island. Lack of funds, lack of qualify teachers, lack of basic necessities, I remember few weeks back some school doing a toilet paper donation drive so they have enough for the coming school year. If CEDA (Chinese Economic Development Association) thinks sending their Chinese students here would allow them to get a US education to be ready for the world market, I am thinking they really need to see what a typical graduate of the CNMI education system is like. What jobs do they have, how much of the graduating class pursues higher education and even how much do even gets accepted. If they think that into account I think they would be thinking other opportunity. Actually I am even surprise that the CEDA is still looking at this island as an opportunity, after all CNMI has a negative image against the Chinese. But then again like all government agency, could it be that the CEDA is looking for a new cash cow to milk. There is no more selling, and I yes I do mean selling of cheap Chinese garment workers to this island. And now its getting harder and harder to import Chinese workers to the island for other reasons /cough /cough prostitution and cheap farm labor. Odd combination if you think about it, but then again maybe they can do a package deal for a family, Mom and daughter working in the streets while father and son toil in the sun. ahhh the American dream ….
