Nonetheless, Iwas pleased at least to be ableto announce at the memorialchurch service that the Presidentwould be signing the bill the following week,” Amata said.When the Vice Presidentarrives on Sunday, he will beonly the sixth White House dignitary to have visited the territory in its 117-year affiliationwith the United States.First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited in 1943 to liftthe people’s spirits during thePacific War; President LyndonJohnson, whose administrationfunded the hospital for which itsubsequently was named, visited once en route to New Zealand in October 1966.In January 1977, PresidentJimmy Carter sent his son Jeffand Jeff’s wife Annette to represent him at the inaugural ofPeter Tali Coleman as the territory’s first elected governor.The Carters reciprocated theSamoan hospitality by invitingAmata to have dinner in theWhite House family quarters inher next trip to Washington.In Washington, in February 1989, Governor Colemaninvited Vice President DanQuayle to visit American Samoain connection with his Pacifictrip to commemorate the WorldWar II Battle of the Coral Sea.The first vice president everto visit the territory, Mr. Quayle,who invited the Governor andMrs. Coleman to accompanyhim from Washington on AirForce Two, toured the islandand had lunch with the governorand other government dignitaries at Government Housebefore departing for Australiafour hours later.In November of that year,future Vice President DickCheney also stopped in PagoPago in his capacity as Secretary of Defense and in July oflast year, Joe Biden became thesecond sitting vice president tovisit here as part of a tour ofthe Pacific Rim. Although hedid not leave the airport, Bidentook time to leave the VIP areato greet and have photos takenwith members of the localpopulation.When he arrives, GovernorLolo Matalasi Moliga, Lt. Gov.Lemanu Peleti Palepoi SialegaMauga, Congresswoman Amataand other local dignitarieswill welcome Vice PresidentPence. The Governor will thenlead a traditional welcomingceremony.In addition to dedicating theclinic, the Vice President willreview the troops. In view oftime constraints and securityrequirements, all activities willbe held at the airport.The visit has come about atthe invitation of Amata, whowas a member of the Presidential Transition ExecutiveCommittee, which Mr. Pencechaired.A few weeks ago, aftera closed-door Capitol Hillmeeting with House Republicans, at which he unveiled hisplans for an Asia-Pacific trip,Amata pulled aside his chiefof staff to urge that the VicePresident add Pago Pago to hisitinerary after his meetings inSydney and the vice presidentquickly agreed.“It made perfect sense toinvite the vice president to dedicate the clinic, since the legisla-Continued from page 1tion naming this federal facilitywas signed less than a monthago,” explained Amata, “andbesides, Mike Pence came toknow Eni because they servedtogether in Congress.”Amata herself first met theVice President during her service on the House leadershipstaff at the House RepublicanConference, which Pence laterchaired before running for Governor of Indiana.“I am really looking forwardto the Vice President’s visit,”said Amata, “so he can visualize what we are all about andget a real sense of our isolationfrom the rest of the country. Thevice president being PresidentTrump’s principal liaison withthe House of Representatives, Iam hoping to enlist him to joinme in explaining to my colleagues why our federal assistance is a vital lifeline.”Amata concluded, “The vicepresident has graciously invitedme to join his delegation aboardAir Force Two for the trip toHonolulu,” noting that Mr.Pence also would be reviewingtroops there and meeting withtop military commanders beforereturning to the Mainland.BACKGROUNDSamoa News reminds thatduring V.P. Quayle’s visit inApril 1989 to American Samoahis opening remarks includedthis now well-known quote,“You all look like happy campersto me. Happy campers you are,happy campers you have been,and, as far as I am concerned,happy campers you will alwaysbe.” American Samoans at thetime found it highly amusing,while many also believed it tobe condescending and insulting.Quayle was known for hisverbal gaffes, during his vicepresidency, and was VP to President George H.W. Bush from1989 to 1993.

LoloMatalasi Moliga called a special session, which commencedyesterday and is not to lastmore than 5 calendar days. Andthe Senate scheduled yesterdaymorning two separate confirmation hearings for the Immigration Board and the Board ofRegistration for ProfessionalSurveyors, with communication sent to the Governor’sOffice last week about yesterday’s confirmation hearings.Several senators voiced concerns that not all of the nominated board members showedup at yesterday’s confirmationhearings and questioned as towhether the governor is awarethat nominees were no shows,yet the special session wascalled by the governor.Sen. Tuaolo Manaia Frueanbelieves there is a breakdownin communication between thenominees and the Governor’sOffice. For example, Tuaolosaid he was just informed by anominee to the Board of Registration for Professional Surveyors of being contacted bythe Governor’s Office yesterdaymorning about the hearing, butthe nominee was already at hisjob, in his work clothes.At Fono hearings, bothChambers have a strict dresscode when witnesses appearto testify — for example, menmust wear ties.For the board for Professional Surveyors, the only nominee that was able to make thehearing was Taulapapa WilliamSword, who told senators thathe was just informed yesterdaymorning about the confirmationhearing and rushed over to theSenate.Luckily, he said, he residesclose to town and was able tomake it to the hearing.Thereafter the committeedecided to postpone the hearinguntil later this week to givetime to all nominees to attendthe next scheduled hearing,which is now set for tomorrowmorning.The communication policyfor Fono hearings is that allrequests for ASG witnesses —including directors and nominees to boards — are sent bythe Fono to the Governor’sOffice, which then contacts therequested individuals about thedate and time of Fono hearings.SENATE SESSIONDuring yesterday’s Senatesession, senators confirmed allfive nominees for the Immigration Board. They are:Gloria Ausage, Tago Ativalu, Togotogo Poto Sotoa,Fanene Edda Wyberki and Sen.Fa’amausili Mau Mau Jr.Sen. Tuiagamoa Tavai,chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the othertwo board members nominees,Frank Gaisoa and Rep. GafatasiAfalava, were off island.Last week, the Houseconfirmed Ausage, Ativalu,Togotogo and Fanene. ForFa’amausili, he is scheduledfor confirmation today in theHouse.Gaoteote informed senatorsyesterday that the governorcalled the special session andcommunicationsregardingscheduled confirmation hearings were promptly sent to theadministration.However, he says that if onlyone nominee shows up, such asin the case of the Board of Surveyors, the hearing should stillproceed.(Continued on page 6)ALL REGISTRARNOTICES WILL BE 60Did you know thatNAPA SAMOA willchange your car batteryfor FREE when youpurchase from us?Bring in your old battery and get 18 offthe price of your new battery!We will also:Add freon to your car AC after purchasing FOR FREEChange car battery after purchasing FOR FREEChange your light bulbs after purchasing FOR FREEIssue a quote on Special Orders FOR FREECall us today for Quality Napa Auto Parts.We also special order Engines and Windshields.NAPA SAMOA699-NAPA/6272

Page 4samoa news, Wednesday, April 19, 2017Youth members of the Catholic Church during the traditional ‘siva sasa’ performance at yesterday’s 2017 Flag Day celebration at Veterans Memorial Stadium.Letter to the Editor“LDS YOUTH”Dear Editor,This year’s Flag Day theme “Tupulaga Mo Taeao” sends astrong message to the youth of Amerika Samoa of how preciousthey are and why we as leaders need to mold and prepare them forthe task ahead and embrace the future.FAAFETAI ma FAAMALO to the youth of EFKAS, Catholic,and Methodist churches for all the hard work and efforts put intotheir faafiafiaga of dancing and singing. It was indeed very enjoyable to watch, listen, and learn.However, I am concerned, wondering why the Mormon youthdid not participate. Apparently, no invitation was sent out to theleaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, commonly known as the “Mormons” for their youth to participate inthis year’s Flag Day faafiafiagas.It is interesting that ASG had dedicated this year’s flag daycelebrations to honor youth from all religious backgrounds andwalk of life. Yet, the Mormon youth, who are active participantsin numerous community gatherings and activities were visiblyabsent and excluded from this important youth event.I am aware that our government is financially struggling andtrying to find ways to save money and cut spending. However, itwas easily noticeable that only the youth groups from the threedominant religions participated while others like the Mormonyouth were excluded. No doubt that the Mormon youth wouldhave been very excited to do it as a free service for the people ofTutuila and Manu’a.As is commonly known, the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints gladly renders free services and promptly lends helpinghands wherever and whenever it is needed. ASG has benefitedfrom Mormon youth services throughout the years, and theseyoungsters would have welcomed the opportunity to collaborateand interact with youth from other religious faiths, had they havebeen invited!Faafetai tele and have a great week Amerika Samoa!Fiatele AionoLETTERS TO THE EDITORSamoa News welcomes and encouragesLetters to the Editor.

However, many elder Samoanshave noticed over the years that this Samoan delicacy is not in abundance compared to years ago;and some elders believe that the lack of palolo isbecause people are selling it.Tui Atua was given the honor of delivering theFlag Day address for this year’s 117 Flag Day ceremony at Veterans Memorial Stadium. He saysthe impact of climate change “on our Samoa” andthe Pacific “evidences a breakdown in our guardianship, responsibilities over kin, over what isdone, over what is our faasinomaga (our Samoanidentities) and our tuaoi (cultural boundaries).He recalled, “There was a ‘sa o manuvao’or ritual performances acknowledging sacredboundaries between people and the forest.”In those days, he said, ‘all ritual. was paid to‘manuvao’ before a tree could be cut, before landcould be cleared” but those sacred boundaries“have today been sadly forgotten and rejected.”“A breakdown in relation between people andnature is further emphasized when we considerchanges to our fishing culture and the loss of traditional fishing knowledge and its associates,”he said and cited for example, the annual palolorising.“We used to know when the palolo would rise,by reading the appearance of the moon. Whenthey rose, we would ritually welcome them bychanting ‘fanau mai, fanau mai — be born, beborn’,” Tui Atua explained. “Our ancestors knewthat in the act of rising, the palolo were alsobirthing. This was evident by the lingering of theirpalolo chant.”And he asked, “But how did our ancestorsknow when the palolo would rise or that thepalolo were actually giving birth?”He responded, “They knew through carefuland active observation. They knew by watchingand counting lunar movements and noticing howseasonal clocks work in the natural world. Theyknew because they took time to converse withnature and with God.”“There is an old adage which says, e le la’a leuto i le maina — a floater cannot intrude on thefunction of the sea — and, e le sopo foi le samii le lau eleele — the sea cannot encroach on theboundaries of the land,” he said.“The adage reminds us, that in everything,there are sacred boundaries,” he said, and wenton to point out that the “biggest problem facingour families, villages and churches and government today, is the crossing of boundaries or ‘sopotuaoi’.”See yesterday’s Samoa news edition for otherdetails from Tui Atua’s address.
