Immigration hearings for corporate
sponsorships expected to resume Wed

Attorney General Talauega Eleasalo Ale believes the Immigration Board is prepared to move forward with business applications for sponsorship of foreigners after he clarified to board members the
status of proposed legislation that was considered during the Fono’s recent special session.
He was responding to Samoa News queries after members of the business community voiced their
frustration when this week’s Immigration hearing for businesses was abruptly cancelled.
“The Board had concerns about this (the status of the bill) and about the issuance of special provision permits, and felt it necessary to stop the hearings so they could consult with me before proceeding.” A special provision permit is a class of immigration status issued to foreign workers when
the skills they possess are not available for hire from a U.S. national or citizen.
The AG apologized to the public for any inconvenience this may have caused, however, he told
Samoa News it is critical that the Board is able to operate and render decisions based on the law. “I believe these issues have now been clarified and the board is prepared to move forward,” he
said. He said the proposed legislation to restrict corporate sponsorship of aliens did not become law
during the special session. “However, as a standard policy, we scrutinize in detail every attempt by
a corporate entity to sponsor aliens to enter American Samoa.” He said this is the same policy with
respect to special provision applications.
“Moving forward, all special provision applications and applications for corporate sponsorship
will be reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office before they are submitted to the Board.”
Samoa News notes it is currently the Chief Immigration Officer that reviews all special provision
applications and applications for corporate sponsorship prior to handing it over to the immigration
board for their review and approval.
An Immigration officer who is not authorized to speak to the media said the hearings would resume
on Wednesday at the usual time.
See last Saturday’s issue for details of the bill that was automatically rejected after senators did not
act on it before the special session ended.

Court issues dismissals and Fuafua e le DBAS
continuations in some law- suiga o le latou tagi
suits against 1602 recipients fa’asaga ia Nua
by Joyetter Feagaimaali’i-Luamanu
Samoa News Reporter
Several of the Development Bank of American Samoa (DBAS) civil cases came before the
High Court this week involving DBAS customers who failed to comply with conditions of their
section 1602 housing program contracts.
Close to $5 million in federal 1602 funds is involved in these lawsuits with a total of 18 project
owners taken to court by DBAS. However the number of cases has been decreased after dismissal
motions were filed and accepted by the court in four of the cases last month.
The suite involving Chairman of the DBAS Board, Senator Nuanuaolefeagaiga Saoluaga Nua
and his wife Usu went before the court this week and attorney for DBAS, Sharron Rancort told
the court that there would be amendments to the complaint in this matter based on an occupancy
violation of the 1602 program rules. The apparent rules violation relates to the senator’s 1602
apartment building in Manu’a being rented to tenants who are not qualified under program rules. The other three 1602 lawsuits calendared for this week have been continued because two of the
project owners did not appear while discussions are ongoing with the third.
The no shows were Ripley Development Company Inc. and Arthur Ripley, and Maria Shimasaki. Ripley received $1million while Shimasaki was awarded $104,550.
The DBAS case against Joe and Elinor Hollister has been continued to November 17 as the
parties are continuing negotiations in this matter.
DISMISSALS
Rancourt says the four cases that have been dismissed came before the court on September 5
for status hearings and the bank moved to dismiss the suits against Fred Ahoia, Dennis Ahoia,
Komesina and Carlena Afalava and Anthony Tuiolosega because they had completed their 1602
projects.
According to the government cases, Anthony Tuiolosega, the administrator of the estate of
Tagaloa Tuiolosega and Antonia Tuiolosega was awarded $105,804; Fred Sony Ahoia was
awarded a grant of $211,310; DBAS employee Komesina Afalava and his wife received a grant
of $167,801 and Dennis Ahoia was awarded $211,310.
Another case that is likely to be dismissed is against Meko and Moana Aiumu, who
received $82,603. Their attorney Fiti Sunia said his clients obtained a certificate of occupancy
for their project, earlier this week. Rancourt said DBAS would conduct an inspection and if all is
in order, the bank would then file a motion to dismiss this case as well. Le Ta’ita’ifono o le Komiti Fa’afoe o le Faletupe o Atina’e a

THE BOB FRANKEN COLUMN
Ebola Foolishness
By Bob Franken
Here’s a concept: Let’s come up with an idea that would
make things worse even if it worked, which it wouldn’t.
That would describe the proposal to prevent all people
coming from the three West African nations devastated by
Ebola -- Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia -- from entering the
United States.
The U.S., it seems, is also ravaged by a growing disproportionate hysteria about Ebola, and most of all by cynical politicians, largely conservatives, who are exploiting the alarm for a
chance to score some points against the Democratic president
in the days leading up to the election.
They’re trying to capitalize on an impression that he is
dithering as this killer illness threatens public safety here in
the homeland. Now they’ve even been joined by some craven
Dems, like North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan, who is in a close
race and has reversed her position that a travel ban would be
a bad idea, folding under the pressure of her voters seeking a
simple solution to their fears.
As I said, it won’t work. Someone who really wants to get
to the U.S. easily can exploit porous borders and huge accountability gaps in our travel system.
If we actually did erect such a travel barrier, maybe we
should include a blockade of Texas, since all the cases here
have erupted in Dallas. And since one of the nurses who caught
it subsequently flew Frontier Airlines from Dallas to Cleveland
and back, perhaps we should add Ohio. For that matter, maybe
we ought to ground Frontier while we’re at it, in spite of its
very public sterilization of the affected plane.
Was that a cheap shot? Yes, it was, I’ll admit it, but so is the
calculated way that politicians are using their simple-minded
scare tactics. Add to this arson the cable-news networks that are
fanning the flames in their amoral pursuit of ratings, and people
don’t know what to think. So they don’t.
There are some things that can be done. First of all, let’s
realize that as national dangers go, Ebola is very low on the
list. What has so exacerbated the panic is the inept public-communications effort from our medical leaders. Each time their
reflexive assurances that this is no big deal prove to be false,
they end up scaring the daylights out of everyone.
Barack Obama could use a little help with that himself. After
critics charged him with floundering around still again, the
president took decisive action: He appointed a “czar” to take
decisive actions for him against Ebola.
Ron Klain, his choice, is absolutely qualified to take this
on, most importantly to assure a freaked-out nation. His No. 1
attribute is that he’s not a doctor. The doctors are the experts,
but they have their hands full correcting various mistakes and
reining in their hubris. Ron Klain has experience with a ton of
that at the highest levels of government, and can finesse the
politicians who are our biggest danger.

A Manu’a chief says that if all goes well a
new airline called Tausani is in the works to fly
between Manu’a and Tutuila. Responding to
Samoa News questions asked after the coconut
wireless signaled the planned airline, he said
he and his partners plan to kick off flights in
December.
The chief who is the president of the new
company declined to issue a formal media
report until his partners had their input, but he
did agree to answer our questions.
Partnering with a local pilot and a Guamanian company that owns the aircraft, the chief
told Samoa News that they had presented a proposal to the Port Director that has been in place
for sometime now and when she didn’t reply
they went directly to Governor Lolo Matalasi
Moliga with their proposal.
Samoa News understands the proposal that
Tausani Airline president is referring to, was
a proposal to lease the Segaula, however that
is not possible as the lease for the Segaula has
already been signed between Manu’a Airways
represented by Barney Sene and the American
Samoa Government.
The Tausani Airline president told Samoa
News yesterday their Guamanian partner for
the new airline has been in the airline business
for some time and they already have the requisite Federal Aviation Administration licenses
for the planned service. He also pointed out that
Tasani will not only service passengers but they
will also offer cargo services.
He said the motive behind this is to offer
the Manu’a residents stable flights to and from
Manu’a as options has been very limited for
those in Manu’a.
Earlier this month Aleki Sene Jr who spoke
on behalf of Inter Island Airways dba Manu’a
Airways Executive President Barney Sene
told the fono a new date for inspection by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the
Segaula is set for November 17, 2014.
Earlier this year Barney told the Fono that
Segaula and Manu’a Airways would be up and
running by April this year, before Flag Day,
however that did not happen. In July, Barney
Sene told Samoa News that with all final inspections completed the airplane will be up and running in October.

LOCAL ARMY
RECRUITER RE-ENLISTS
FOR THREE MORE
YEARS
Yesterday morning, Sergeant First Class (SFC) Jancey
Fano Shimasaki re-enlisted to
serve another three years in the
United States Army. Administering the enlistment oath
was Captain Puletasi WongMageo of the American Samoa
Army Reserve Center. SFC
Shimasaki, a Samoana High
School graduate, is the son of
Mitch and Terry Shimasaki of
Fagaalu. To date, SFC Shimasaki has
served a total of 18 years in the
US Army. He is a member of
the local US Army Recruiting
Station based out of the 2nd
floor of the Laufou Shopping
Center in Nuuuli. Shimasaki
is married to Teela Langkilde
Shimasaki and they have three
children: Brandon (who is currently serving in the US Air

CORAL SPECIES
COLLECTION
CONTINUES TO GROW
Former Coral Reef Monitoring Ecologist for the Dept. of
Marine and Wildlife Resources
(DMWR) Douglas Fenner is
working on a coral species collection that he hopes to one day
write about, through multiple
articles and publications.
Fenner resigned from the
DMWR last year but continues to use his passion for sea
life as a motivation to collect
coral species and learn more
about them. Over the years,
Fenner has dived in multiple
sites in Tutuila, Aunu’u, and
the Manu’a Islands and was
part of the team that visited
the Swains Island when Jean
Michel Cousteau was working
on his PBS documentary film
“Swains Island: One of the
Last Jewels of the Planet”.
In response to Samoa News
inquiries, Fenner explained
that there are at least 250 species of coral in local waters but
to date, he only has about 150
in his collection.
As far as pieces, Fenner
has about 700 pieces of coral
in his possession. He said
everything in his collection,
including all the information
and data, would be shared with
the DMWR and the public,
through publications that he
hopes to put together once his
collection is complete.
10TH ANNUAL TISA’S
TATTOO FEST
OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY
The setting couldn’t have
been more beautiful. Add that
to good company, wonderful
conversations, and palate
pleasing food and you’ve got
the perfect kick off for the 10th
Annual Tisa’s Tattoo Festival,
a four-day event being held at
Tisa’s Barefoot Bar in Alega.
The festivities started this
past Thursday with tattoo artists coming in to register and
a cocktail party that included
live entertainment.
Those
in
attendance
included Ms. American Samoa
2014 Anneliesse Sword, local
artist Reggie Meredith, and
Master Tufuga Wilson Fitiao
who was working on a malu for
a female Bluesky employee.
Tisa told the Samoa News
that this year’s event is a celebration of the art of the pe’a,
our resources, culture, land,
and life. She said a total of
eight local tattoo artists will be
featured during the event.
Food for the occasion was
prepared by Chef Candyman
whose fried bananas, green
salad and sautéed prawns had
people wanting more.
Presented on a woven place
mat, the plate was garnished
with a fresh green banana leaf.
The presentation was beautiful
on its own, and the service
was splendid. Complimentary Vailima beer was offered
to guests courtesy of GHC
Reid and judging from all the
laughter, everyone had a great
time. Local tattoo artist Duffy
Hudson was in attendance,
along with Off Da Rock Tattoo
Shop owner Joseph Ioane,
accompanied by his wife.
Tattooing continued yesterday, in addition to a healing
demonstration and workshop
for new and perspective tattoo
artists.
Today, Ms. American
Samoa will carry out the ‘ava
presentation to kick off activities that include an ‘ava tasting
ceremony, a fashion show,
competitions for skin art,
faatau pati (slap dance) and
Samoan siva, and a skin art
show for the malu and pe’a.

Pacific maritime operation
nabs 12 fishing vessels
by RNZI staff
The Forum Fisheries Agency’s Pacific region
annual maritime surveillance sweep of Pacific
fishing waters has netted a record 12 vessels in
potential breach of their fishing licenses.
The vessels, nabbed by Fisheries Maritime
Police from the Federated States of Micronesia,
Papua New Guinea and Palau are flagged to
Thailand, the Philippines and FSM.
They were among 114 boardings of fishing
vessels and 1,011 sightings of vessels across the
exclusive economic zones of 14 Pacific nations
involved in the Operation Kurukuru maritime
surveillance exercise.
The regional sweep, launched on Wednesday
last week, ended its tenth and final day Friday.
FFA Director General, James Movick, says
further details on the alleged infringements are
an operational matter and will be dealt with at
the national level.
But he thinks the findings demonstrate the
level of standards and effectiveness, which FFA
partners are applying in the area of maritime
surveillance.
He says through operations such as Kuru-
kuru, Pacific nations as custodians of their oceanic resources are sending a message to anyone
fishing without, or in breach of, their licenses
that their watching, their activity is being
recorded, and they will be caught.
Kurukuru 2014 covered an area of approximately 30 million square kilometres - including
the EEZs of Cook Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands,
Nauru, Niue, Palau, PNG, Samoa, Solomon
Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Fisheries surveillance and enforcement staff
from all of these countries worked together with
their Quadrilateral Defence Cooperation counterparts from Australia, New Zealand, France
and the United States over the two weeks of
round the clock surveillance, data analysis,
reporting and information sharing and, ultimately, enforcement operations.
Australia’s Fisheries Management Authority,
the Cook Islands Ministry of Marine Resources,
and NZ’s National Maritime Coordination
Centre provided analysts to aid the operation
in the surveillance center while Vanuatu shipriders worked with patrol boats in Palau.

School gunman
was homecoming
prince, students say
MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — A student recently crowned
freshman class homecoming prince walked into his Seattle-area
high school cafeteria Friday and opened fire, killing one person
and shooting four others — including two of his cousins —
before turning the gun on himself, officials and witnesses said.
Students said the gunman was staring at his victims as he shot
them inside the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
The shootings set off a chaotic scene as students ran from the cafeteria and building in a frantic dash to safety, while others were
told to stay put inside classrooms at the school 30 miles north of
Seattle. The gunman was identified as student Jaylen Fryberg, a
government official with direct knowledge of the shooting told
The Associated Press. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Students and parents said Fryberg was a member of a prominent family from the nearby Tulalip Indian tribes and a freshman
who played on the high school football team. He was introduced
at a football game as a prince in the 2014 homecoming court,
according to a video shot by parent Jim McGauhey.
Marysville Police Commander Robb Lamoureux said the
gunman died of a self-inflicted wound, but he could not provide
more details. Shaylee Bass, 15, a sophomore at the school, said
Fryberg had recently gotten into a fight with another boy over a
girl. “He was very upset about that,” said Bass, who was stunned
by the shooting.
“He was not a violent person,” she said. “His family is known
all around town. He was very well known. That’s what makes
it so bizarre.” Three of the victims had head wounds and were
in critical condition. Two unidentified young women were at
Providence Everett Medical Center, and 15-year-old Andrew
Fryberg was at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, a hospital
official said.
Another victim, 14-year-old Nate Hatch, was listed in serious
condition at Harborview, the hospital said. Family members told
KIRO-TV that Andrew Fryberg and Hatch are cousins of Jaylen
Fryberg. Witnesses described the shooter as methodical inside
the cafeteria. Isabella MacKeige, 18, was having lunch with a
friend when they suddenly heard gunshots behind them.
“I heard six shots go off and I turned and saw people diving
under the tables,” she told The Associated Press. “In my brain
I thought ‘run!’ So I left my backpack, my phone and my purse
and got out the door as fast as I could.”
MacKeige and the other students in the cafeteria rushed out
the door. Some students got hurt when they tripped and fell in
the chaos, she said. They ran across an open field to the fence
that circles the schoolyard and climbed over. She kept running
until she felt safe and found a phone. “I called my mom and she
said, ‘stay where you are -- I don’t want to lose you,’” MacKeige
said. Brian Patrick said his daughter, a freshman, was 10 feet
from the gunman when the shooting occurred. She ran from the
cafeteria and immediately called her mother.
Patrick said his daughter told him, “The guy walked into the
cafeteria, pulled out a gun and started shooting. No arguing, no
yelling.”
A crowd of parents later waited in a parking lot outside a
nearby church where they were reunited with their children.
Patrick said after the shooting that his other daughter, a senior
at the school, was “hysterical” when she called him from her
classroom.
“I thought, ‘God let my kids be safe,” he said.
Some students described Jaylen Fryberg as a happy, popular
student, but social media accounts suggested he was struggling with an unidentified problem. On Wednesday, a posting
on his Twitter account read: “It won’t last ... It’ll never last.”
On Monday, another tweet said: “I should have listened. ... You
were right ... The whole time you were right.” Marysville-Pilchuck High School has a number of students from the Tulalip
Indian tribes. Ron Iukes, a youth counselor with the tribes, said
Jaylen Fryberg was from a well-known tribal family.
“They’re real good people, very loving, a big part of the
community,” he said. “Jaylen was one of our good kids. ... I’ve
known this boy since he was a baby.” Nathan Heckendorf, a
17-year-old junior at the high school, said he saw Jaylen Fryberg
on Friday morning before the shooting and there was nothing
to indicate he was upset. “He looked happy,” Heckendorf said.
State Sen. John McCoy, a tribal member, said the shooting
devastated the tribal community. “We’re all related in one shape
or form. We live and work and play together,” he said.
Hundreds of people prayed and sang at a church vigil Friday
night for victims and family members. The Oak Harbor high
school football team, which had been set to play Marysville on
Friday night, lined the front row of Grove Church in their purple
jerseys. The game was canceled and Oak Harbor offered to give
the win to Marysville.

SACRAMENTO,
Calif.
(AP) — A man armed with an
assault rifle shot three sheriff’s
deputies and a civilian, killing
two of the deputies and leading
dozens of police officers on a
wild six-hour chase and manhunt Friday that spanned two
Northern California counties
before the 34-year-old suspect
was taken into custody.
Marcelo Marquez, of Salt
Lake City, was taken alive
Friday afternoon from a home
in Auburn in Placer County
after the shooting hours earlier in a strip mall in a commercial area of Sacramento,
said Placer County Sheriff’s
spokeswoman Dena Erwin.
Marquez, 34, was examined
at a hospital for unspecified
injuries.
He and a woman also taken
into custody were being questioned by investigators about
their motives late Friday night
and it was unclear when they
would be formally arrested,

Sacramento County sheriff’s
Sgt. Lisa Bowman said.
The shootings sparked a
manhunt that included search
dogs, helicopters and armored
vehicles. Residents nearby
were told to stay indoors, and
schools were locked down.
The owner of the home said
officers used tear gas to drive
the suspect from the basement.
He identified his slain
officer as sheriff’s homicide
Det. Michael David Davis Jr.
The 42-year-old detective died
26 years to the day after his
father, for whom he is named,
died in the line of duty as a Riverside County deputy sheriff.
Gov. Jerry Brown Brown
called the killings “a tragic
reminder of the sacrifices we
demand of our peace officers
and the incredible courage
they display as they protect our
communities.”
Flags at the state Capitol were ordered flown at
half-staff.
The slaying of the deputies
was the single deadliest day
for California law enforcement since February 2013. In
separate incidents that month,
a former Los Angeles police
officer killed two law enforcement officers, and two Santa
Cruz police detectives were
shot and killed.
Marquez had a driver’s
license that identified him as a
Salt Lake City resident.
Sacramento County Sheriff
Scott Jones said the deadly
chain of events began when
Deputy Danny Oliver, 47,
approached
a
suspicious
vehicle in a motel parking lot
around 10:30 a.m. and was
shot in the forehead at close
range. Oliver, the first county
deputy killed since 2008,
was a 15-year veteran who
leaves behind a wife and two
daughters.
Bonner later described
Davis as an 18-year law
enforcement officer. Davis
leaves behind a wife and four
children.
Bonner said the wounded
deputy, Jeff Davis, is a 17-year
veteran who was shot in the
arm. He was released after
treatment at a hospital.
About a mile away, the
suspect attempted to steal a
car, but shot the driver in the
head when he refused to give
up his keys, Jones said. He did
not know the condition of that
victim but said he was alive
and conscious when he was
transported. The assailants then
stole a pickup from Jose Cruz,
who was gardening outside a
client’s house in Sacramento.
The suspects then fled to
neighboring Placer County,
about 30 miles north of Sacramento. Deputies swarmed the
area, and the suspect shot two
deputies with an AR-15-type
assault weapon.
House painter Sean Smith
of Sacramento said he was
working when he heard
gunshots.

Obama: Science, not fear,
key to Ebola response
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the
U.S. must be guided by science — not fear — as it responds to
Ebola.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says he was
proud to give Texas nurse Nina Pham a hug in the Oval Office
after she was cured of Ebola. He says the other nurse who contracted Ebola is also improving.
Obama is praising New York’s quick reaction to its first
Ebola case. He says he’s promised local officials any federal
help they need.
Obama is reminding Americans they can’t contract Ebola
unless they come into direct contact with a patient’s bodily
fluids.
The president says the U.S. can beat the disease if it remains
vigilant. He says the best way to stop it is at its source in West
Africa.
