[photo: Barry Markowitz] COOL Stuff Ford s Filling Station - LAX By Barry Markowitz My hardcore bosses did it again. Barry, get that in 1 jacket on and go scout the way for our peeps going to the USA 7 s in Las Vegas this January. Find the affordable cool eats places en route, on arrival, and hotel deals. Here is your usual two tala, no excuses, make it happen. OK, Rhonda and Patty... remember Star Wars... the lead actor Harrison Ford? (not Mark Corvette Summer Hammel). Harrison s son Ben Ford is apparently a super star celebrity chef that we island residents wouldn t ever recognize, but the rest of the planet does. Ben now that we still don t know who he is has a righteous one stop affordable classy restaurant/ mini mart in LAX Terminal 5 (Delta) called the Filling Station. The presentation and service is definitely 5-Star, thanks to hostess London and server extraordinaire, Nick. What elements knock my slippahs off are the fresh ingredients and sophisticated sauces provided at an affordable $9-$16 average (Shrimp Curry $19.90). We are talking Beverly Hills, Coolios. And we know it costs more to park there than the complete meal and tip I pay here at the Filling Station. Of course McDonald s is 100 feet away... but if Charlie Tautolo doesn t own it, I am going instead for this indigenous LA fare. Breakfast options til 10am : Breakfast Flatbread, Huevos Rancheros, Pancakes, Breakfast Burrito, Steel Cut (not rusted) Oatmeal and Fruit. Rest of the Day: Cheese, Mushroom and BBQ Chicken Flatbread pizza looking delights; burgers; Egg Salad, Pulled Pork, BLT & Avocado Sandwiches; Chicken, organic coffee, tea... and for those headed on Delta to Salt Lake City prior to rugby... Seasonal Cocktails, Beer, Wine and all kines ava malosi. Hey Ben, cool dude that everybody tells me you are... where is the Samoan Kava and Koko Samoa? Don t be surprised if Ben calls up Eni to source out our island secrets. Ben seems to be a guy that gets it regarding traveler s needs for quality and affordability. His background music is dead on too... a little classic rock spiced up with Tower of Power. Thanks Ben. My Aiga Samoa will be flying in early and hanging out in your warm comfortable refuge. I am at peace here... until Patty jumps on my poor grammar and lack of reverence. Welcome Ben Ford to the world of Cool Stuff and Coolios, sorry your excellence is as big a secret to us as our Koko Samoa is to you... Coolios are coming Ben... stock up and thanks for those strong chairs... Coolios know that deal... I ve busted a few.

Bill Beaird, 80, wept as he described watching the Dec. 13 shooting, the Los Angeles Times reported. Beaird said his youngest son, 51-year-old Brian Beaird, of Oceanside, called him to say he was being chased by police but insisted he had done nothing wrong. The father said he told his son to pull over anyway. He said he was going to do it, but he didn t do it, Bill Beaird said. After a nearly hour-long chase, the Corvette hit another car, seriously injuring the other motorist, then spun onto a downtown sidewalk. Bill Beaird said he watched a report from a television helicopter as the Corvette s driver staggered out of the car, briefly raised his hands, was shot and fell to the ground. I thought it was my son, but I wasn t sure, Beaird said. Brian Beaird was unarmed. Preliminary information indicated that three officers fired more than 20 shots at him, the Times said. Police Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday that he was very concerned after reading a preliminary report the shooting. Beck said he placed the officers on leave until the investigation ends, when they may receive discipline or further training. Bill Beaird said his son was discharged from the National Guard in 1988 after undergoing surgery for a brain tumor and needed regular medical care. An attorney for the family, Dale Galipo, said Brian Beaird had developed paranoia after the surgery. He was simply afraid and paranoid of the police, even though he has never been convicted of any felonies, Galipo said. And that paranoia of the police is one of the reasons why he didn t pull over. A claim is a precursor to a lawsuit. If the city rejects or refuses to settle the claim, Galipo said the family would file a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court. The city attorney s office said it had no immediate comment on the claim.

7 NEWS IN BRIEF Obama says 2013 hasn t been so bad for him WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says he s not brooding about 2013, despite a series of setbacks. The president said at a year-end news conference from the White House Friday that as long as the economy is improving and he s helping families, he s OK. Obama s approval rating has been at record lows recently. But he joked that in the seven years since he launched his presidential campaign, the media has, quote, recorded 15 near-death experiences. He acknowledged frustration that he didn t get the legislative reforms he wanted, specifically mentioning gun control and immigration. And he said his health care law hasn t worked the way it should have. But he said he s going to keep working on his agenda and predicted 2014 would be a breakthrough year for America. un gen. sec. Ban Ki-moon visits storm-ravaged Philippine city TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is visiting a central Philippine city devastated by a super typhoon that killed more than 6,100 people last month. Ban flew to Tacloban on central Leyte island on Saturday after meeting President Benigno Aquino III and other officials in Manila to discuss recovery efforts. Typhoon Haiyan slammed ashore Nov. 8 as one of the strongest typhoons on record with fierce winds and tsunami-like storm surges that flattened entire towns. More than 1,700 people are still listed as missing and more than 4 million others have lost their homes. The United Nations early this week launched an appeal for $791 million for critical food assistance, clean water and shelter for typhoon victims. Trying to spread cheer, Santa in NH scares instead HOLLIS, N.H. (AP) Police in southern New Hampshire say a man dressed as Santa Claus was only trying to spread some cheer but ended up panicking officials when he knocked on school windows and entered the building. The Nashua Telegraph reports that administrators at the Hollis Primary School called police around 10 a.m. Thursday after they saw the man running around the school, tapping on windows and waving at students. He was buzzed into the building but fled when he saw a look of alarm on a staffer s face. Other schools and parents were notified and kids were kept inside for recess. The man has contacted police to say he was only trying to spread holiday cheer and didn t mean to cause panic. Police aren t identifying him because he wasn t charged. Man drowns after wave capsizes boat in Guam basin HAGATNA, Guam (AP) Guam police say a 50-year-old man has drowned near the Agana Boat Basin. The Pacific Daily News reports the man drowned after a wave capsized a boat he and two other men were in. Officer A.J. Balajadia says none was wearing a floatation device. Two men were pulled from the water, but rescuers didn t realize another man was unaccounted for. Balajadia says rescuers later found the third man floating face down in the water. Efforts to revive the man weren t successful, and he was pronounced dead at Naval Hospital Guam. Balajadia says another boater was taken to Guam Memorial Hospital for treatment. The third man wasn t injured. Pope: Recycling good for environment, for workers VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope Francis has made an amateur video praising the world s cartoneros the poor people who pick through garbage to find recyclable and reusable goods. He says their work is dignified and good for the environment. Francis recorded the video Dec. 5 while meeting with members of the Excluded Workers Movement of his native Argentina, which released the video this week at an annual meeting of trash recyclers. Francis, known for his simple habits, has denounced today s throw-away culture and said in the video that food that is tossed aside each day could feed all the world s hungry. Francis has a long relationship with Argentina s cartoneros literally cardboard people. He would celebrate Mass for them as archbishop and invited them on stage during World Youth Day in July.

NEW YORK (AP) It has sparked protests outside the American embassy in New Delhi. Burnings of President Barack Obama s photo. And angry speeches by Indian officials. But the arrest and, yes, even the strip search of an Indian diplomat accused of visa fraud also revealed a simple and longstanding reality of the U.S. justice system: Everyone charged with a crime here is supposed to be treated the same, whether wealthy or destitute, prominent or ordinary, citizen or foreigner. There is a remarkable and almost charming egalitarianism in it, said New York City defense attorney Ron Kuby. Everybody is treated in exactly the same disrespectful, casually brutal and arrogant fashion. The United States is the only place where the rich as well as the poor get to sleep on cold floors and urinate in overflowing toilets together. Indian officials have been fuming over the way federal marshals handled Devyani Khobragade, the country s deputy consul general in New York, calling the treatment degrading and inhumane. Yet most Americans would find the procedures fairly typical for a criminal case though certainly not pleasant. Khobragade, who was arrested last week outside her daughter s school, complained that she was strip-searched and held in a cell with drug addicts until her appearance before a judge. She posted $250,000 bail and was released. And she insists she is not guilty of charges she submitted false documents to obtain a visa for an Indian woman who worked as her housekeeper in Manhattan. The case stirred widespread outrage in India, where the idea of an educated, middle-class woman being strip-searched is almost unheard of, except in the most extraordinary crimes. The fear of public humiliation resonates strongly there, and heavyhanded treatment by the police is normally reserved for the poor. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who brought the charges, was born in India and raised here. He said the diplomat was fully searched by a female deputy, which is standard practice for every defendant... in order to make sure that no prisoner keeps anything on his person that could harm anyone, including himself. Khobragade s lawyer said similarly situated individuals of her stature are routinely provided an opportunity to report to the authorities to address charges at their convenience, instead of being swept off the street like a common criminal. In India, the wealthy fearing arrest often approach courts for anticipatory bail, a means of avoiding arrest. The poor cannot afford that luxury because they are not in a position to hire prominent attorneys and pay legal costs. Influential politicians sometimes feign illness after an arrest to get shifted to hospitals rather than prisons. But in the United States, defendants of all types are routinely searched, photographed and fingerprinted before going to court. When Dominique Strauss-Kahn, at the time a contender for the French presidency, was arrested in New York in 2011 on sexassault charges, photos of the diplomat in handcuffs walking out of a police precinct drew outrage in France, where the images would have been illegal. But they are routine in the U.S. Nationwide, deputy marshals have discretion to do in-custody searches or if deemed warranted more intrusive strip searches, according to a U.S. Marshals Service directive obtained by The Associated Press. With in-custody searches, deputies have the prisoner remove only outerwear, shoes and contents of pockets. By contrast, the memo describes a strip search as a complete search of a prisoner s attire and a visual inspection of the prisoner s naked body, including body cavities. The directive says a strip search may be conducted if there s reason to suspect the prisoner may be carrying weapons or contraband. The suspicion could be based on the nature of the crime, the prisoner s demeanor, the circumstances of the arrest or other factors. The rules also state that the strip searches must be conducted in a private area, with a witness of the same sex as the prisoner and in a professional manner causing the prisoner as little embarrassment as possible. Marshals Service spokeswoman Nikki Credic-Barrett said Khobragade was strip-searched based on another criteria specified in the directive elevated security at the institution where the prisoner is detained. Khobragade is being prosecuted in the Southern District of New York, a region that has handled multiple terrorism, drug trafficking and organized crime cases. She was not subjected to a cavity search, they said. (Continued on page 14) C Y C Y M K M K

Obama 2014 could be economic breakthrough year in US WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama singles out recent improvements in the economy and says 2014 could be a breakthrough year for the United States. Obama highlighted reports Friday that the economy grew at a 4.1 percent annual rate from July through September, higher than previously believed. The economic news, while modest, has been a glimmer of light for Obama in an otherwise difficult year. Obama also voiced support for proposed legislation that would extend unemployment benefits by three months. The benefits expire later this month for about 1.3 million Americans. He says jobless assistance should be the first order of business for Congress in January. New South Fla. threat: invasive rock pythons MIAMI (AP) State biologists are concerned that the aggressive rock python might be the latest invasive species to become established in the Everglades and elsewhere in South Florida. Rock pythons can grow to about 16 feet and are the largest snakes in Africa. Biologists say they are among the world s most aggressive snakes and will eat almost anything they can swallow. Wildlife officials say they want to prevent these pythons from joining their Burmese cousins as an established, breeding species with no natural predators in Florida.

(AP) No charges will be filed against two Santa Ana police officers who killed a man and injured another in a shooting that followed a March car chase. A prosecutor from the Orange County district attorney s office sent a letter this week to the interim police chief that says the officers actions were reasonable and justified. Police say the shooting occurred after a freeway chase involving a stolen car, which ended when the vehicle crashed at a Santa Ana intersection and two men fled. Forty-one-year-old Jason Hallstrom was shot and killed while 29-year-old Travis Mock was wounded. Mock has pleaded not guilty to charges that include unlawfully taking a vehicle and evading police. Ship with mushy bananas ordered to stay in NJ port GLOUCESTER CITY, N.J. (AP) A federal judge has ordered a ship to stay in port in New Jersey because of a dispute over a shipment of mushy bananas. Del Monte Fresh Produce filed a lawsuit Thursday over a shipment of 110,000 cartons of bananas from Guatemala that arrived Monday at its facility in Gloucester City, across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. The produce company is seeking $1.5 million and requested the ship, the Green Brazil, be arrested, or not allowed to leave the area. U.S. Magistrate Ann Marie Donio agreed to detain the vessel just before it was scheduled to leave. The Courier-Post reports the ship is likely to be allowed to leave once its owners provide a letter of credit. The newspaper says the owners could not be reached for comment. Bolivia celebrates launch of its first telecoms satellite LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) Bolivians are celebrating the launch of the country s first telecommunications satellite with indigenous rituals dedicated to Pachamama, or Mother Earth. President Evo Morales was in China for the Friday launch of the satellite from that country. Hundreds of people gathered in the Bolivian capital of La Paz to watch the takeoff on large television screens erected by the government. The satellite is named after Tupac Katari, an indigenous Aymara hero who led 18th century resistance to Spanish colonizers. It was financed with a credit from the China Development Bank for $302 million. Continued from page 7 Ivan Zambrana is director of the Bolivian Space Agency. He says the satellite should be fully operational by March and help bring down communications costs and improve television and Internet services for people living in rural areas. NSA, UK agency targeted Israel PM, EU officials LONDON (AP) Newspaper reports say the latest documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden show that British and American intelligence agencies monitored the communications of hundreds of targets in some 60 nations, including an Israeli prime minister and European officials. The Guardian newspaper reported Friday that one 2009 document showed that Britain s eavesdropping agency, GCHQ, worked with the U.S. s NSA to target an address belonging to Israel s Ehud Olmert. Other prominent targets included a top European Union official responsible for competition policy, German government communications and the Thales group, a defense company partly owned by the French government. If the reports are true, an EU spokeswoman said Friday that the U.S. and British actions were unacceptable and deserve our strongest condemnation. This is not the type of behavior that we expect from strategic partners, let alone from our own member states, said the spokeswoman, Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen. Police searching for missing Ga. boy find 2 bodies ROSWELL, Ga. (AP) Police officers searching for a missing boy discovered two bodies Friday near the suburban Atlanta apartment complex where the child disappeared. Roswell police officer Lisa Holland said officers began searching for 4-year-old Jesus Dominguez after his mother was found severely beaten and unresponsive Thursday afternoon in the family s apartment. Also missing from the home was the boy s father, Carlos Alberto Dominguez, Holland said. Officers discovered the bodies of a male child and a man in a nearby wooded area late Friday morning. Holland said authorities believe the bodies are that of the boy and his father and are treating the case as a murder-suicide. The cause of death was not immediately available. Holland said that information, along with the names, would be released by the Fulton County Medical Examiner s Office. Holland said the boy s mother, Sandra Rivera Ruiz, remains hospitalized and has yet to regain consciousness. Holland said police believe the attack occurred several hours before she was found.

(AP) The identity of the person whose Mega Millions ticket is worth half the $648 million jackpot remained a mystery Friday, but lottery officials said it s not unusual for big winners to delay claiming the prize while they seek advice about their new fortune. One of two winning tickets for Tuesday s drawing was sold at a San Jose gift shop. The other was sold in Georgia and the winner already has been identified. California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said the second winner has a year to claim the money. It s fairly common in cases like this that they ve hired financial representation and an attorney so they come forward with a plan of action, Traverso said. The jackpot comes to a total of $324 million per winner. If the person takes a lump sum, it s about $120 million after taxes. That s not a check you can just walk to the local credit union and plug into the ATM, Traverso said. Of course, it s also common for people to have misplaced the ticket or simply have forgotten about it. If months go by with no claimant, Traverso said officials will identify the time the ticket was purchased and use surveillance cameras to try and get an image that can be released publicly. Former exec charged with murder in NH crash CONCORD, N.H. (AP) A former Fortune 500 executive was charged Friday with seconddegree murder in a crash that killed a young Vermont couple expecting their first child in January. Attorney General Joseph Foster and state police announced upgraded charges against Robert Dellinger, 53, who lives in Sunapee and also maintains a home in Kansas. Dellinger faces two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Jason Timmons, 29, and Amanda Murphy, 24, who was eight-months pregnant when she was killed. Dellinger has said he was depressed and trying to kill himself Dec. 7 when he drove his full-size pickup across a grassy Interstate 89 median. Police say the truck became airborne and sheared off the top of the couple s car, killing them instantly. The unborn child also did not survive. Dellinger suffered cuts on his head and face. Afterward, he was charged with two counts of reckless manslaughter in the Wilder couple s deaths while the prosecution contemplated more serious charges. He was freed on $250,000 cash bond and ordered to wear an electronic monitoring device and undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Continued from page 12 Suspicious package evacuates Minnesota airport terminal MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A suspicious package triggered the brief evacuation of a terminal at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The Humphrey terminal was shut down for about two hours Friday morning. Airport spokesman Patrick Hogan tells the Star Tribune that a woman with a propane tank in a box was stopped by TSA agents and wasn t allowed to board her flight. So, the woman left the box at a gift shop at the international airport then boarded her plane. Hogan says the woman was taken off the plane and questioned by airport police. The terminal was reopened and business resumed after the Bloomington bomb squad determined the tank was not an explosive device. Hogan says he doesn t know if the tank contained propane. Mass. police find heroin stamped with Obamacare HATFIELD, Mass. (AP) Massachusetts state police say they ve stopped a car carrying 1,250 packets of heroin stamped Obamacare and Kurt Cobain and arrested the four people inside it. Police say a trooper was making a traffic stop in Northampton when another car passed and he noticed several violations. He stopped the car a short time later in nearby Hatfield and found the driver wasn t licensed to drive it. A state police dog found the bags of heroin. The four arrested people have been charged with heroin trafficking. State police Lt. Daniel Richard says it s not unusual for heroin to be stamped with numbers, words or symbols to identify who s selling it. But he says the Obamacare stamp is one he hadn t heard of. NY boy dies after being trapped in snowbank GREECE, N.Y. (AP) Police say a 10-year-old boy in western New York has died from his injuries after being trapped in a snowbank near his home. Police in the town of Greece say Cory Denoncourt was building snow forts with a friend at an apartment complex Wednesday when the snowbank he was playing on collapsed. Several children from the apartment complex helped pull him out, while another child ran for help. Police say the boy was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died Thursday night. Greece school officials say a crisis team will be available Friday at Denoncourt s elementary school. Police are urging children to use caution when playing on big piles of snow and to never play alone.

Soldier as Santa, surprises mom BRUSHY PRAIRIE, Ind. (AP) A northeastern Indiana soldier surprised his mother Friday with an early return home, masquerading as Santa Claus while she sat on his lap at a school staff Christmas breakfast while she gave a wish list of gifts. When Prairie Heights High School math teacher Kim Harris told Santa her son had returned from a tour in Afghanistan and was at Fort Campbell, Ky., he asked her if she was sure of his whereabouts. Army Spc. Ethan Harris then pulled down his fake beard and revealed his identity, eliciting a hug and tears from his mom. This tops the list and couldn t be a better Christmas, Kim Harris said. The News-Sun reported that Ethan Harris arrived back in the community about 40 miles north of Fort Wayne a few days earlier and hid at his sister s house until Friday s breakfast. He said he was so excited Thursday night that he couldn t sleep. A lottery to see who would sit on Santa s lap had been rigged in advance so the honor would go to Kim Harris when Superintendent Alan Middleton drew her name from a gift bag. She wasn t expecting her son to be in town until Monday, when a surprise party for him was planned. It turned out the surprise was hers. This is Christmas, her husband, John Harris, said. I have an awesome family. The treatment of arrested diplomat Continued from page 8 Because Khobragade was being placed in a cell with the general population, it was paramount that she be searched in the same manner as other prisoners, Credic-Barrett said in a statement. The issue of strip searches of foreign women from conservative cultures surfaced at the same Manhattan courthouse in the case of Aafia Siddiqui, an American-educated Pakistani woman accused of being an al-qaida supporter. At one point, Siddiqui refused to come to court, saying through her lawyers that she did not want to endure the humiliation of a strip search a precaution taken with prisoners being moved between federal lockups and courthouses. At a 2010 trial where she often kept her face hidden with a head scarf, Siddiqui was convicted of trying to kill FBI agents and U.S. soldiers who tried to interrogate her in 2008 in Afghanistan. She was sentenced to 86 years in prison. Khobragade could face a maximum of 10 years for visa fraud and five years for making a false declaration if convicted. She has said she has full immunity. The State Dept. disputes that, saying her immunity is limited to acts performed in the exercise of consular functions. Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-to-4 decision that authorities can strip-search people arrested for even minor offenses before jailing them, even if there s no reason to suspect the presence of contraband. The high court did not require strip searches, but it ruled that the Fourth Amendment does not forbid them. In a dissent, Justice Stephen Breyer cited briefs claiming people charged with violating a leash law, failing to pay child support and driving with a noisy muffler were subjected to indiscriminate strip searches. He called the practice a serious affront to human dignity and individual privacy.

15 Obama hints at changing phone records collection WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama suggested Friday that he may be ready to make some changes in the bulk collection of Americans phone records to allay the public s concern about privacy. Obama said he has not yet made any decisions about the National Security Agency s collection programs. But among the dozens of recommendations he s considering, he hinted that he may strip the NSA of its ability to store data in its own facilities and instead shift that storage to the private phone companies. There may be another way of skinning the cat, Obama said during a news conference. His hint at concessions came the same week a federal judge declared the bulk collection program unconstitutional and a presidential advisory panel that included intelligence experts suggested reforms. Both the judge and the panel said there was little evidence any terror plot had been thwarted by the program, known as Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act. There are ways we can do it, potentially, that gives people greater assurance that there are checks and balances that there s sufficient oversight and sufficient transparency, Obama said. Programs like the bulk collection of phone records could be redesigned in ways that give you the same information when you need it without creating these potentials for abuse. The advisory panel offered 46 recommendations in the wake of public outrage over the government s vast surveillance. The panel recommended that the phone records be stored at the private phone companies, but it also called for the government to obtain permission from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Vavau Mai itulau 10 ona fo i lea o tama ma tomumu fano i le ala ina ua le maua so laua inati, ae fetaui le oo atu o tama i Faga o lo o sasa mai ai le afa a le toeaina o Leululei ite, sa lagona uma e le toeaina tomumu a le au uso lea, ona fesili lea o le toeaina i tama, pe aisea lava ua la tomumu fano ai i luga o le ala, ae tali le au uso, e le i maua se ma inati i le tufaina o le feti i a Salemuliata, ae fai atu i ai Leululei ite, ete lua iloa le mea ua tupu, ua mafua ona le maua sa oulua inati, leaga e leai se alii na oulua o ma ave, ae o mai ina o i Safotulafai o lo o i ai le tama o Selaginato, o e ave e sii ai le lua faletautu e saili ai so oulua ali i.

Court in order to access them. He did not address that option, which means the government could still have unfettered access to the data. He continued to defend the need for this program for national security. Obama can reject, accept or amend any of the recommendations, and he only spoke generally about the possible need for some changes, but not how much, if at all, the programs would change. The federal judge who declared the NSA s vast phone data collection unconstitutional, Richard Leon, called the NSA s operation Orwellian in scale and said there was little evidence that its gargantuan inventory of phone records from American users had prevented a terrorist attack. However, he stopped his ruling Monday from taking effect, pending a likely government appeal. Obama offered a broad defense of the surveillance programs revealed over the past six months after a former NSA systems analyst disclosed classified materials. He insisted there has been no abuse of this information collected and stored on Americans. But he said he understands that the public is concerned about privacy. He said he would make an announcement about these programs in January. I have confidence in the fact that the NSA is not engaging in domestic surveillance or snooping around, he said, adding that he understands the potential for abuse can change as technologies evolve. We may have to refine this further to give people more confidence. And I m going to be working very hard on doing that. samoa news, Saturday, December 21, 2013 Page 15 American Samoa Limited Employment Opportunity We have a vacancy for an ADMIN ASSISTANT The role will include: Clearing incoming freight via customs Processing Immigration clearances for new staff and renewing for existing staff Processing Purchase Orders and Invoices Assist receptionist with incoming phone calls Only applications who can produce all items below will be considered Current Drivers License Current Work Permit & Immigration ID Computer Skills including knowledge of Excel Spreadsheets Fluent in English and Samoan Languages Ability to liase in a harmonious manner with clients & external agencies Please deliver CV (resume) to McConnell Dowell office at Tafuna by 4:00 p.m., December 27th CHANNEL * (E) English Subtitles 48 * (L)-Live Programming/News * (R)-Rerun *Note: If you need this Schedule, <hyunhwilee@gmail.com>. and I will send it to you every wee k!
