Kudos to EE of MV!

Here's an article written by the famous EE of Marianas Variety:

Beautify CNMI! fundraising concert on March 27

BEAUTIFY CNMI! and the Hotel Association of Northern Marianas Islands will hold a fundraising concert on March 27 at the World Resort Hotel in Susupe that will feature ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro of Hawaii.

The Variety’s report on Friday incorrectly described the event as an anniversary dinner.

Beautify CNMI! volunteer Angelo Villagomez — who is no longer the executive director of the Mariana Islands Nature Alliance as incorrectly reported on Friday — said HANMI is the event’s co-sponsor.

Friends of the Mariana Islands is a community partner, but “they are not Japanese” as stated by Friday’s report.

The ticket price — not “prize” — for a child under 12 is $15 and $25 for an adult.

Beautify CNMI! is selling tickets, not giving out prizes.

Tickets are available at the Marianas Eye Institute, the Century Hotel and the World Resort Hotel.

The coalition started out as a series of cleanup and tree planting campaigns on Saipan two years ago, and consists of volunteers who are trying “to make the CNMI a better place to live.”

Also this month, the group will give out the Beautify CNMI! Steward and Beautify CNMI! Champion awards to recognize the individuals or groups who have been environmental leaders during the past 12 months.

Last year’s Environmental Champion winners were Public School System teacher Bree Reynolds, Mariana Islands Nature Alliance board member Kathy Yuknavage, and local activist Capt. Carl Brachear. The winners of the Environmental Steward award were elementary school student Adam Sablan and the volunteer group Friends of the Mariana Islands.

Maybe the editor was clipping his nails when EE submitted the previous article. Just a thought.

Federalization vs Federalization

Our top reporter, E.E. is at it again informing the CNMI public that what it reported earlier about the Governor's special adviser's comments on federalization. It was reported that the adviser believed that guest workers are required to leave the island in two years after the federal takeover of the immigration system.

Now, the paper reports that someone from the federal committee is contradicting the adviser's statements earlier.

What raised my brows again is that the reporter did not name the source and reported it. I guess the source is too reliable to counter the adviser's statements. However, this is E.E. reporting....

Hmmm...

Headline Times Four?

I haven't been checking the printed newspaper lately especially the Marianas Variety. Browsing through their website I noticed the headline story last Friday (at least online) was about "Japanese investors trying to help the CNMI." What baffled me was the "Part 4" written after the title. Of course, I had assumed that it was the fourth part of the written story.

If this were the case, all I can is that Emmanuelle Erediano must be serious with his job now? I can't imagine a daily newspaper would have to cut their headlines into four publication dates? If it were a special report, that's understandable for me.

Do you actually believe what this guy writes?

You tell me....
