the news ... not becomes a part of the news. But all of that changed in the wee hours of Wednesday morning when arsonists broke into the offices of Younis Art Studio, Inc. and set fire to the main press, stocks of paper and other machines ..

Five separate fires were set in tile building including one on top 0f the main press used in printing the Marianas Variety, the Commonwealth's leading newspaper for 17 years.

£\bed Younis, owner of the studio, and Variety publisher, said it appears the arsonist intended to stop the press. "I believe that whoever did it, by the way he acted, indicates that he knows what he's doing," Younis said.

"He put five fires exactly in the center of the · building where flames can catch up very fast. One major fire was in the concentrated supplies storeroom and the Continues on page 27

Why? That's one question we here at the Variety would

like an answer to. Why would anyone try to burn us out of existence?

The truth can not be silenced by flames and violence.

Never has - never will. For years we have reported the crimes perpetrated

on others here on Saipan and the rest of the Commonwealth. Inside this week's issue we must report on one of the most heinous crimes we know -ARSON - which was committed against us on August 10.

We now know the same trauma and anguish of someone who has been raped and left for dead along the side of the road. At firstthe pain is so deep that it tears into the very soul.

That deep hurt then turns into a grinding and even deeper anger to GET the people who did this to you and then exact your own version of punishment.

However, we are a civilized society here in the Commonwealth and we must rely on the law enforcement agencies to find the responsible persons and bring them to justice.

For this we need your help. Anyone who knows anything about the arson should contact the police or the fire department immediately. Even if you only THINK you have some information call.

It should be in the publicspiritto want to apprehend these criminals, and we here think that most of you share our outrage at this criminal act because it was directed at something which is and will continue to be unafraid to print the truth.

Yes, in a way, when the persons who set fire to our presses preformed that act they were thumbing their noses at you and saying "see -WE control what goes on here - not the free exchange of ideas."

Those old enough to remember the days ofthe old Japanese rule and the Nazis will clearly recognize that rationale of 'freedom.'

We would also like to extend a 'thank you' to all who have called, stopped by, or in many other ways expressed their concern, desire to help in any way, and genuine anger at what happened to us. A lot of people in the community still care that they have a newspaper which is independent and stands tall in the face of criticism, threats, and acts of violence against it. See page 3

Lawyer says editorial incorrect Dear Editor: I have always believed in the freedom of the press, and the exercise of free speech. But when the

press becomes terribly misinfonned as you seemed to be when you wrote your editorial opinioo on August 9, 1988, I think it is the duty of those who know to give you the correct information.

The basic duty of the courts is to interpret the law. The U.S. District Court recently ruled on citizenship cases involving the interpretation of Section 301.

The court usually entertains a matter if it is a case or controversy. In these citizem!hip ass Ibero were lots of controversy as to the interpretation of Section 301 of the Covenant. At first the U.S. seemed to be of the opinion that Section 301 of the Covenant be sttictly construed. For cumple, the section requires that all persons falling under subsections 301 (a), (b), and (c) must not owe allegiance to any foreign slate. The problem addressed_ by the Dela Cruz~ is that the pla;mf& therein had at least a parent who was an alien at the time the plaintiffs were born in the CN¥f. Ill accordance with the decisions of the Commonwealth Trial Court, a child bcrn in the ~ Mariana Islands of an alien parent is a citizen of the country of his alien parenL Tbelcfmc, a child

We had one lady who called in to complain about the common practice of some island merchants to continue to stock out-of-date merchandise on their shelves. Not only do they not remove them, they charge ful_l price.

A check of the stores detennined that her complaint was valid. One newspaper employee bought a package of corn chips from a major mar- · ket, only to find to his chagrin that the contents had expired three weeks before. When he went to the store to complain, a stocker said that "you should tell them - they'll give you a discount."

When the employee questioned the legality of selling the material in the first place, the manager assured the employee that the chips would be removed from the shelves.

Several other small stores engaged in the same practice - in one case some food had been expired for several MONTHS and still was on the shelves.

"The officials (Filipino, we assume) that visited Saipan it looked like they were here to tellus what to do," one woman caller said this week. "We want the laws to be as it is .. not outsiders telling us what to do. We don't want our laws to be called ' . . . (coulcln 't tell, perhaps 'offending) laws. Our lawmakers are elected to serve by the local people. · "Please bear in mind, aliens: You are here to work and if you don't like our laws you have to go back where you come from ... We don't want people telling us what to do - especially outsiders."

FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1988 -- MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS -- PAGE 3

Many times there is nothing to write about in my column. However, this week I have quite a choice:

1. The cowards who- committed arson·on us at the newspaper.

2. The goons who assaulted me at a local garment factory.

3. The efforts of a tiny group of garment workers to protect a friend.

In this case, the choice is quite easy; I chose the gannent workers. I feel what they did earlier this week is a lesson to us all about sticking together against a common foe -TYRANNY.

As I write this column it is 5 a.m. in the morning Thursday and· I have not had much chance to look over the copy relating to the incident But from what I have been able to piece together from Wes and others I have found that this was an ALLEGED case of what I like to call "Midnight Deportation" - or the favorite sport of garment factory and construction company management.

It seems that the folks at this particular garment factory allegedly didn't like some of the activities of one particular worker because he allegedly was squawking about the

alleged $60 (more-or-less) weekly wages these folks were making. Allegedly, the management was withholding $40 of said royal sum each week for unknown overhead.

Be that as it may, what seems to have gotten these folks at the garment factory ali in a state of uproar was the alleged fact that the activist worker had been takeJl away by persons identified as "security guards" and was destined for the midnight plane off the island.

This was apparently without the benefit of the management obtaining the necessary legal papers (allegedly.)

The workers decided they had had enough and gathered in a circle outside the factory. I was told at one point that they were 'protecting' another worker that would receive the same fate.

This (thanks to an anonymous phone call to the office) of course, brought the news media in on the deal, your humble scribe included.

What happened to me while I

You can cry crocodile tears, you can· shout "Unfair!" up to the heavens, and you can bring a host of delegations to the Unhed Nations. If Section 301 (a) was to be suictly interpreted, such children would not have qualified for U.S. citizenship. Only a liberal interpretation of Section 301 (a) in Dela Cruz made those children become eligible for U.S. citizenship.

But that was not the only problem. The adult children of an alien parent and Chamorro parent (T.T.) would not qualify under a strict construction of Section 301 (a). It is understandable that a minor child was not given a chance to renounce his allegiance because he was not old enough to renounce it. However, it is inexcusable for an adult not to do it. A strict interpretation would have made it impossible under Section 301 (a) for those adults to be eligible to become U.S. citizens. The Shoda decision was nothing more than a liberal interpretation of Section 301 (a}, which made the Shoda class become U.S. citizens by as you say "a stroke of the pen."

In your editorial you erroneously informed the public that the former aliens did not get their U.S. citizenship through the Covenant, although you seemed to admit that they had been domicilc<;l continu-

ously in the Northern Mariana Islands since at least 1973 and they renounced their foreign citizenship. Section 301 (c) of the Covenant says that such persons you described are U.S. citizens.

You can forget about the rest of your checklist, such as (a). they didn't get their citizenship through the long and difficult naturalization process. Nobody in the Commonwealth falling under Sections 301 (a), (b), and (c) got theirs that way. You can also forget about getting U.S. citizenship by fighting in any war. No one in Section 301 did that.

I am appalled by your exaggeration that the "CNMI immigration department will suddenly be bombarded by hundreds of persons claiming to fit the narrow criteria." Did you not read your own newspaper report about Larry Hillblom stating that there are about 200 people affected by the Barasi ruling? Besides, the CNMI immigration has nothing to do with claims of U.S.citizenship. That's the State Department's job.

Lastly, do not blame the AG for the Barasi decision. I was the one that filed the class action on behalf of the plaintiffs, not the AG. No one could have stopped me from doing it. If you want to hate anybody, hate me.

However, I agree with you that ·~new citizens are a bitter pill", if

was tryi'ng to cover a story there is not that important right now, I have retained a lawyer and I can protect myself and my rights very well, thank you. But, these workers (in their own minds) were rebelling for what they felt was the wholesale trampling of what little rights they perceived they had. In other words, they were so outraged, they decided to throw what they felt was theor own personal safety to the winds and demonstrate.

I would like to take this space and tell them (those who can read and understand English) that they did theRIGHTTHING. As I have said so many times in the past, the Commonwealth is part of the UNITED STATES. EVERYONE who is on the island has rights ... this includes the workers.

Personally, I wonder why the FBI has not stepped into this type of case a long time ago. Perhaps it's because they are waiting to see what the Commonwealth is willing to do.

From what I saw Tuesday

night, I think the Commonwealth is willing to do what's needed. I saw Mark Warns from the attorney general's office become quite agitated when he heard what happened. I saw police officers also become quite angry at the incident and heard a lot of police radio traffic while they were trying to find the abducted man. (Good job, guys ... )

Most of all, I saw the feeling of satisfaction in the eyes of some workers when they heard that their friend was all right and was not going to be deported right away. (I don't think he can stay long, but I think he can stay until he testifies against his abductors. .. )

I also understand that the Filipino big shots who were on the island over the weekend said ihat if the unfair treaunent of labor isn't curtailed in the Commonwealth, unions might be next. Well folks, I am NOT a union fan, but what he is says is correct to some extent.

But, I worry more about potenContinues on page 17

Our heartfelt thanks also is given to the men and women of the DPS' Fire and police departments fortheworktheydid in containing the fire.

Without the quick work of some officers who did not stop to be thanked, we would have lost more in smke damage than we did.

Firemen went into areas they knew contained hazardous chemicals and gasoline without regard for the danger involved. This also helped stop the spread of fire to the rest of the lower building.

"Thank you " is not really enough. To the arsonists out there. We have confi

Friends of the Variety have gathered together a reward fund of $1,000 so far (more may be coming) for the ARREST and CONVICTION of the persons responsible for the breakin and fire of August 10.

the one taking the pill is racially prejudiced. The Chamorro and Carolinian spouses of some of those new citizens will probably not agree with you.

The Koblerville building should be finished by January, he said.

After that sub-station is com-

The director said the first station will be in central Koblcrville, west of the basketball court at the public park. The $15,000, 188-square-foot building will have a temporary holding cell and radio.

"This is an experimental station," Manibusan said. "What we're doing now is recruiting. At the moment, we plan to put two

people there 24 hours per day." Koblerville also experiencing

rapid population growth, being the fourth-most populated area on Saipan now, Manibusan said.

"We looked at all of the statistics coming in at DPS," the director said. "The statistics basically tell us there are several activities there, assaults, burglaries."

Respected Rota community figure given state funeral

Manglona served as educator. jurist and politican

CNS - Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio . declared a state funeral July 28

for the late Fortunate T. Manglona, of Rota, a Jong-time government employee who had a distinguished career as an educator, councilman and judge.

Manglona, 63, died on Saipan onJuly27 after a long illness. His body was flown to Rota on July 29. Funeral services are scheduled for Thursday (Aug. 4) on Rota.

In declaring a State Funeral by an official proclamation, Gov. Tenorio urged that the flags throughout the Commonwealth be flown at half-mast on that day.

Manglona was educated during the Japanese administration and also attended from 1946 to 1948 the U.S. Navy Medical Practitioners School on Guam.

Upon his returned to Rota he began a long and distingui;hed career as a pioneer educator on Rota, totalling 24 years.

"During that period of time as an educator until his retirement on August 5, 1973, nearly every young person on Roui was atone Lime a student of Fortunato T. Manglona and greatly benefited from his teachings, counsel and support," according to the proclamation.

Following his retirement from the Department of Education, Manglona was appointed to serve as part-time Community Judge and Special High Court of the Trust Territory from 1973 to 1981 on Rota.·

Manglona is survived by his wife, Maria and five children.

Water still needs boilino . ..., The Division of Environmental Quality analyzed samples of drink

ing water from the Isl:rnd of Saipan this week. Water from Kagman, San Roque, Tanapag, Garapan, and the airport contained excessive coliform bacteria and also contained no chlorine residual.

Therefore residence of these areas should boil their water before using it for drinking, food preparation, or freezing as a precaution against possible bacterial .contamination.

Remote control rule discern the fact that each of the four nations never had our aspirations nor fate at heart. Each ·is equally guilty of supplanting our . valued traditional ways into theirs. I was onceJ uan, then Ioannes, John-san and now Jolm. Confused? Eh, this fella is equally confused as you are.

I think it is time to get down to basics so to return the integrity of our people where it rightfully belongs. To perpetuate the acquiescence of these supplantations and equate them to elements of progress is to give up what and who we are as a people. We must demand for self-respect from one and all. But that this effort must come from within-US! I know that it is quite difficult to sift through the maze of all these confusion forced upon us not only by arrogant foreign powers, but by development as well. Are we to allow ourselves to be displaced within our own islands? If so, then we are saying that it will . be fine and dandy to suffocate like a fish when taken out of the water. Think about it

tial violence. I was personally treated to abuses of my civil and human rights by the people who said they were "security officers." Yet, when I asked them for identification as to who they were or who they worked for, all I received were further threats on my person.

Imagine if that's the way they treat an American citizen who knows and understands the Constitution and his rights . . . how they would treat someone who has no idea of what "rights" are:

That's why that little band of Chinese workers at Eurotex should be congratulated for defying the tyranny of the dollar and the stick.

!encourage a full-scale investigation of the company by the· Commonwealth and the United States' National Labor Relations

• Board. And, they shouldn't stop there. More rocks could be turned over on Saipan alone and more abuses found in other factory locations.

Even better, the Commonwealth should establish such a labor office (Labor Police, I like to call them) office adequately staffed by professional labor folks and lawyers who just love to haul employers who .violate wage and human rights standards into court.

Let's face it; The reason so many garment factories want to come here is because of the criminally-low wages and the past blind-eye the government has taken toward such abuses. However, I predict the Eurotex incident has turned a page in their

***** We have seen the emer- f::N:N

~~~c~u~!Y Tn ~~~~~~s~ '.i~l!!l[i: Wh~therit is good or bad. is :;:Im· subject to.debate. Ourchil- Jlid dren are no longer as disci~ ww:i plined aS the age group some ten to twenty years ago. There's a lot of perverse behavior' these days among our young ones which usually lead to negative activities.

This is an issue that we must deal with whether we like it or not And unless we are willing to instill discipline among our children, more negative activities will have been allowed to flourish which usually emanates in the family. If you as parents prefer a good leisurely evening before your TV set rather than taking some to talk to your children, this could very well be interpreted by our young people as indifference. The problem is multi-faceted. Let us bring correcting them starting from the. living room of our house.

From Page3

books of"patsy places" to locate. In conclusion, I urge other

workers in other sweat shops in the Commonwealth to do the same thing - NON-VIOLENT protests of labor conditions. A very famous man wrote the book for this type of behavior and it freed a 11ation. Ghandi proved that it works, as did the martyred Martin Luther King1 Jr, in the United States.

Civil rights are not just words written down on paper. They are tangible and available to anyone protected by the U.S. Bill of Rights (also part of the Commonwealth Constitution - and even expanded.)

There is little one can do about those who feel that might, size, or money, make right. But once it's all over, then anyone has the right to call these persons to account before the law of the land.

Both in criminal and in civil court!

We have faith in the judicial system here. Abusers will face the law and be punished.

One final ... final word. If any workers are planning to do something like those at Eurotex, then first call the media. WE will watch and report and then get your complaints into print and before the public ... FREEDOM of the press, you know. Lee heads get bashed when news cameras are clicking and filming because that makes too many witnesses.

Once the glare of publicity is thrown on abusers, many times they - like the slugs they are· will just wither away into a mushy mass.

COMMONWEAL TH UTILITY CORPORATION (CUC}

The Commonweii.Ith Utility Corporation has secured a prime contract with Lyonnaise Marianas America, Inc., a CNMI resident firm who will be performing utility information survey services, electrical and water metering installations. The scheduled duration of this project will be one year beginning July 18, 1988. It involves all flat rate accounts on Saipan, Tinian and Rota.

The CUC is unaergoing major development restraints which require achievement of full cost recovery !hrough u ti Ii ty revenues at the earliest possible dale. In order that we may facilitate the existing and growing utility demand, accurate metering of each of our customers is a necessity. Equitably. increased revenues received by CUC from this project will go toward upgrading the present.system and will also enable our management group to maintain in good condition the entire utility system in the future.

The people of the CNMI will prosper by this event by improved water and power utility service supplied to their

· homes and businesses. In the future CUC will have the necessary budgeting ability to appropriately support growth demand. Further, it will establish a self sustaining utility system. The CNMI will no longer be dependent upon government subsidies for the general operation and managemenL

The CUC is therefore requesting the community's cooperation in this vital matter .for us all here in the CNMI. ·Our conttactors will be making several door to door surveys while accumulating required physical and technical data. Actual . metering installations will follow data gathered. Accuracy is of the utmost importance in this undertaking including property line information, location of facility underground service lines, occupants names, mailing address and phone numbers if any. Circular questionnaires by form will be used by the contractors and will record pertinent information for filing and for future growth reference in your area of the community.

Younis: "They intended to stop the press" second one was where the equipment is, which is the main press. That means the person who has done it meant total damage or knew what he is after, especially where the newspaper is printed."

The long-time Saipan resident said there is also evidence that the second story of the building, which houses the editorial offices of the paper, was ransacked. He said there are several items missing, including a camera, and papers and office equipment had been thrown about the room.

He also said there was some question about the person who reported the incident to police. There were indications that ·the call was made from Younis Art Studio by a person disguising his voice and using a false name.

The newspaper publisher said he had not a been receiving

threats and could not think of a motive in the incident.

A police spokesman said that investigators are treating the incident as an arson case. "They found evidence of breaking and entering and they concluded that it's possible that it's an arson, "Lt. Antonio Reyes said. "One fire personnel and one detective are working closely together investigating what we're treating as an arson case. It's not accidental."

Fire Inspector Jack Camacho said there were "five multiple points of origin" in the fire incident. He said" the incident was reported to the fire station at 1 :28 a.m., and fire fighters arrived six minutes later.

"According to the chief - he was the first officer to arrive -the place was covered with smoke," Camacho said. "They

The fire's aftermath left thousands of dollars worth of damaged paper, already prepared printing orders. as well as damaged machines. No total estimate was available of the loss, but the publisher said what the fire didn't damage, water, smoke and heat did.

immediately tried to ventilate the building for fire fighters to have good visibility to pinpoint the exact location of the fire."

Once firefighters were ready to enter the structure, they had to wear special masks because there was still a dangerous amount of smoke. "In order for the two fire fighters to protect themselves in entering the building, they had to use a self-contained breathing apparatus, that's an oxygen supply for the fire fighters to enter the smoky area," Camacho said.

The fires were put out after about 15 minutes with 800 gallons of wate)';--be said.

Investigators collected evidence at the scene to be analyzed at the Guam crime Jab. "It's burnt debris and I believe we can pinpoint something out of it," the fire

inspector said. Younis said he is still in

the process of assessing losses. "There is heavy damage in paper products and supplies that either burned or got totally wet," he said. "The structure had electrical and building damages like broken doors, broken windows.

"There were several pieces of equipment burned," he said. "The main printing press was put on fire and the damage is hopefully not very extensive. To estimate, we are now working on it to see exactly what's been lost and what's the value of it."

The newspaper publisher said he is working to keep the paper on schedule. "We are working to fully recover and mainly to get the newspaper out as scheduled and continue to do our job while the police investigate and we try to repair damages."

Police are not discussing the case, saying that they prefer to release hard infonnation, not speculation. Detectives· spent several hours in the building Wednesday - postponing the massive cleanup effort needed to get the print shop and newspaper back in operation.

Production was able to be started on this issue with the remaining equipment not destroyed, stolen, or damaged in the break-in upstairs and down.

A $1,000 reward had been offered for any infonnation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in the

Publisher Abed Younis break-in and arson of the newspaper. Editor David Hughes said employees of the newspaper and other merchants in Saipan have all chipped in to swell the fund. "I would hope that the public would provide information without thought of monetary gain,," he said, "but I appreciate the people who have donated so far."

He said others wanting to add to the reward fund may contact him or the DPS.

Despite breathing apparatus, firemen had to take fresh-air breaks because of smoky conditions inside the building.

902 Rep From page44

governments.Under section 902 of the Covenant, representatives of the Commonwealth and the United States meet for bilateral consultations on their political relationship. Dunlop was appointed in May but has taken until now to contact the CNMI to begin

·the high-level talks. Cgmmonwealth politicians have been pleading to get those talks going.

In an August 8 letter to Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio, Dunlop stated that she looks forward with great anticipation to her visit "and the opportunity for us to resolve issues which are meaningful to our citizens and will enable them to improve the quality of their lives."

Meanwhile, there has been no movement made on the nomination of Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Janet J. McCoy to

·the position of 902 representative, a Department of the Interior official said. McCoy was the last high commissioner of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.

"She has been recommended for appointment to be the 902 representative," Jeff Schorr, field representative of the office of territorial and international affairs, .said.

DOI Undersecretary Earl Gjelde told several of to groups he met with on Saipan in June that her appointment by the White House was expected.

Secretary of the Interior Donald Hodel recommended McCoy for the position prior to Gjelde's trip, but the Gjelde was not at liberty to announce the nomination because that is a presidentially appointed position. "It's just simply that he can't make that announcement," Schorr said. "It's a White House position."

Schorr said that Dunlop and McCoy could share the position if she is appointed.

Dunlop was appointed recently by President Reagan as his personal representative at ·the negotiations to replace Rick Montoya, the former Assistant Secretary for Territorial and International Affairs who also headed the U.S. negotiating team. The negotiations stalled since 1986 when Montoya resigned to run for the U.S. Senate scat in New Mexico.

NEED .. From pg.13 the success of the workshop is what has happened since the CNMI NEED delegation's return. Three meetings have been held to set up the CNMI NEED '89 program on the theme: Connecting the EEEs - Energy, Environment, and Economics. The following NEED Committee officers were elected: Kim and Taitinfong, co-chainnen; Weil, secretary; Borja, treasurer; Diaz, publicity chairman; and Seki, fundraising chairman. The committee is currently planning a Commonwealth-wide activity for the National Energy A warencss Month celebration in Oct.

natureofthefamilyunit "Alotof the mothers here are right out of high school or in their early 20's and they have children right away," Tomokane said. "The family support we used to enjoy many years ago in regard to child care by our moms or aunts has greatly shifted in the last several years,"

She said that is due to reliance on full-time baby sitting by a hired family helper, the need for parents and family members to seek employment to keep up with the cost and increasing standard of living, and amplified job opportunities.

The official said that if the statistics show there is a need for more of the facilities, then she will start exploring ways to establish the centers. In addition to enlisting the help of the legislature and administration, Tomokane said that big businesses might be able to provide day care for their employees' children.

Is there a need for more day care in NMI? By Wes Goodman Senior reporter An increasing number of work

ing mothers and decreased reliance on members of the extended family to look after ~hildren may be indications of a need for more child care facilities on Saipan, a government official said in recent interviews.

Anicia Q. Tomokane, special assistant for women's affairs, as

well as a member of the island's school board said she is gathering statistics to detennine if the need for more child-care centers is real.

Saipan Pre SchOQl and Day Care Center in Susupe is the only day-care facility on Saipan now. Jan ice Sablan, owner and director of the center, said there is a need for more day-care and for subsidized day-care on Saipan.

However, she said there is more of a demand for pre-school, and she sometimes has to turn away parents who want their children in that program because of limited facilities elsewhere.

Sablan said that Marianas Preschool and Headstart programs also offer basic instruction for youngsters. But, taking all the pre-school facilities on Saipan together, "We don't even handle

half of the children on this island eligible to attend pre-school," Sablan said.

The director said that parents often cannot afford the private facility. "I'll have people come to me and ask and when they find out what it's going to cost them, they.don't come back," she said.

Tuition for a one-year-old attending the facility all day is $150 per month, she said.

The center usually handles between 80 and 90 children during the school year. Tomokane said the Commonwealth government could take advantage of · federal funds to subsidize the establishment and operation of additional child-care centers.

She is distributing questionnaires to women and single male parents in the government, and in the private sector to determine the

Mendiola to stand trial for Mack murders on Monday By Wes Goodman Staff reporter A jury trial is scheduled to

begin Monday for Mariano F. Mendiola, 23, charged with the October 1987 murders of Galen Mack and Remedios Conley.

However, the trial 'bumped' another case scheduled for the same day in the court.

Mendiola will face the Commonwealth Trial Court jury Monday charged with the kidnapping, robbing and murder of local businessman Galen Mack and a family friend, Remedios Conley.

The 23-year-old As Perdido man was charged at the beginning of April with the Commonwealth

Mendiola in previous court appearnce. alleging a total of 11 offenses, including the first-degree murders of both Macl( and Conley.

Assistant Attorney General Edward Hayden filed infonnation in April in the Commonwealth Trial Court Mendiola also faces charges that he kidnapped the two at gunpoint, raped Conley, and robbed the two victims before killing them.

He is also charged with illegal possession of a .45-caliber handgun.

The bodies of Mack and Conley were found Oct 28, 1987, about two feet apart at Obyan Beach, and about one-half mile east of where Mack's Chevy Blazer was parked, police reported.

Stress and anxiety generated by the lack of qualified child care can affect the parcntemployee' s job performance."

Tomokane said the forms were given to government employees beginning June 15, but that she is having trouble reaching privatesector employees and unemployed women.

She said children often end up in front of the television, where they can pick up some English, but that there are abetter ways for youngsters to spend the day. "The disadvantage of watching TV every day is that the shows are broken by food commercials and that influence tends to disturb eating habits," she said. "Another disadvantage of TV is that they hardly move and there's no physical activity. The third disadvantage is that they're deprived of social time with other children. It could also be they're ruining their eyes at an early age."
