2 2 ASO FARAILE, ME 17, THE SAMOA POST Let s look at two people from the Bible who did the impossible. But they did it anyway, because of God s involvement. 11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Sarah had a child when she was 91 years old. (Genesis 17:17-21) Physically, it was impossible. She had long since lost the ability to bear children. But she did what she could not do. Sarah achieved this impossibility because of God s promise, and because she believed God would keep His promise. 14 When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands. 15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it. Samson killed 1000 of the Lord s enemies with a bone. He did what he could not do. No human being is capable of single-handedly killing 1000 people at one time, with no weapon but a bone. No matter how strong or skilled any man may be, he could easily be overcome by such superior numbers. But with God s anointing and help -- the situation is different. Tusia: Nanai V. O.

You can do whatever God s Word says you should do. Your sufficiency is of God. Whatever God wants you to do -- He will help you. God does not play favorites. Just as He helped Samson and Sarah to do what they could not do -- He will help you to do His will -- even if it is impossible. Without the anointing and help of the Lord, you cannot. But with God -- all things are possible. editorial Interested readers who would like to have their say via Letters to the Editors or Guest Commentary are welcomed.

NUUULI, AS The locally produced news documentary, Y I E L D w i l l d e b u t a s a highlight to the National Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Month on KVZK TV Channel 2 on Saturday, May 18. The news documentary presents statistics and poses a c h a l l e n g e t o t h e l o n g - unquestioned assumptions that discussion about sex education is a taboo in American Samoa. The documentary, produced by the teen participants, staff members, and partners of I n t e r s e c t i o n s, I n c., h a s generated a powerful, often emotional response from community members who were able to hear audio files of interviews presented in this piece. I n t e r s e c t i o n s, I n c. i n partnership with the American Samoa Family Planning, the Alliance for Strengthening Families, and Nurturing My Connections join efforts in reducing teenage pregnancies and delaying sexual activities among the youth on our island territory. As parents are the first line of defense in teaching their children, every parent and child should watch and discuss YIELD, said Marilyn Anesi, the new program director for the American Samoa Family Planning. YIELD also stands as an acronym for Youth s Individual E x p r e s s i o n s o f L i f e s D i l e m m a s, a p r o j e c t o f Intersections, Inc. funded by the Family and Youth Services Bureau, a program of the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Teenage pregnancy is connected to a host of other critical social issues such as child welfare, responsible parenting, education, and other risky behaviors, said Moelilia Seui, executive director for Intersections, Inc., and with the rise of teenage pregnancy we ask ourselves, are we i n v e s t i n g e n o u g h i n t h e development of our youth? T h e f i l m p r e s e n t s a n opportunity to look at some of these issues more closely as w e l l a s t h e e d u c a t i o n a l programs and outreaches the agencies are implementing to address the rise of teenage pregnancy in American Samoa. YIELD will debut to the public on Saturday, May 18 on KVZK TV Channel 2 at 7:00 p.m. For more information a b o u t Y I E L D, v i s i t Fesiligia pe Toe Ao le Lapisi e Totogi ai Eletise - Suavai Tusia: Nanai V.

5 ASO FARAILE, ME 17, THE SAMOA POST 5 By James Kneubuhl, ASCC Press Officer - The recent Field Training Exercise (FTX) by ROTC classes at the American Samoa Community College (ASCC) saw the main campus malae transformed into a military camp ground, as the cadets in the program practiced battlefield strategies and combat survival techniques. This semester s FTX had a special twist in that it included a Contract Ceremony for Cadet Raelynn Aliitasioaitulagi Tuilefano Mapu, an ASCC graduate currently in her third year of the Simultaneous Membership Program with the 411th Engineer Battalion at Fort Shafter Flats, Hawaii. The daughter of Joe and Jeannie Mapu of Nuuuli, while visiting home Raelynn elected to have her Contracting Ceremony held among the ASCC ROTC classes so that her family could attend. Being contracted in an ROTC program entitles the Cadet to various benefits such as a monthly stipend ranging from $ depending on the level they have reached in their studies of Military Science and Leadership. Contracted cadets will also qualify for a full time scholarship of up to four years. If the student is in the Army Reserves, they will be considered a Cadet receiving an E-5 pay conducting officer work when participating in Battle Assemblies. Also, getting contracted allows a student to compete for an active duty slot when commissioned. Captain Saipale Vaouli, currently heading the ASCC ROTC program along with SFC Kitzengen Moliga, explained that in order to get contracted in ROTC, a student must meet certain criteria. In addition to maintaining a grade point average of 2.5 or better, the candidate must become medically qualified via the Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board or Military Entrance Processing Station. Candidates also have to meet the Army height and weight standards and pass the Army physical fitness test. Having met all the necessary requirements, Cadet Mapu received her contract award during the FTX at ASCC in a brief ceremony conducted by visiting dignitary LTC Kevin McKay as her family and the entire roster of the College s ROTC students looked on. After graduating from ASCC two years ago, Mapu initially continued her ROTC training at UH Hilo, then transferred to Hawaii Pacific University and continued to cross train with ROTC at UH Manoa. Times were tough living in Oahu, where I was a full time student aside from ROTC and I also had a job, she recalled. Her days began with her leaving home at 4:30 a.m. and not returning till after 10 p.m. The ROTC program at UH Manoa is no joke, she said. It is indeed the real deal and cadets travel miles each morning to be there on time for formation because it is a determining factor in one s performance. With her ROTC now secure, she feels confident in facing the new challenges ahead. The program is competitive but I want to make the cut for active duty when i commission, she explained. Mapu draws inspiration from her strong ties with her family here at home. People have asked me for advice in regards to the military and college life, she reflected, and one thing I tell them is to never forget the man above, your family, and where you came from, because many people stand tall like a mountain when success is in their hands, but I believe it is those who remain humble when they reach the top whose success is the most genuine. With Cadet Mapu s achievement providing an example of what can be achieved through dedication and hard work, Captain Vaouli expressed his hopes that more local ROTC students will strive towards a similar achievement. My main goal is to continue to contract more students into the program and provide scholarships to pay for school off island, he explained. My other goal is to ensure these students meet the requirements to get contracted and get commissioned, and are well prepared physically and mentally for the next level of ROTC training. I hope to see more students becoming Officers in the United States Army through our local program here at ASCC. There is so much potential here. We just need to tap into it. Captain Vaouli, himself an ASCC graduate who returned to work with the College s ROTC program last semester, shared his view of how ROTC enhances the overall learning experience for ASCC students in several different areas. First, it teaches students to become leaders, he said. Trainings help build confidence and self-esteem. Also, ROTC training challenges students to manage their time better. Every task, regardless of how minimal, is given a suspense time. Vaouli also emphasized how ROTC training can lead to advantages both during and after military service. ROTC is a great opportunity for students to pay off their college expenses and get commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, he said. In the civilian world, there are people with Masters degrees that cannot find a job after college. Most civilian jobs require that you have work experience. Becoming an Army officer will guarantee you both a job and extensive work experience.

The lawsuit, filed by Mrs Tapa i Tervola last, alleges ANZ acted made false representations and committed among other things identity theft and unethical lending practices in connection with a mortgage loan her husband made with the bank. She claims the bank also deliberately removed her name from their re-finance application and forged her husband s signature. In response to media questions, Country Manager for ANZ Bank Terese Salumbides said it is inappropriate for us to comment on this as the matter is before the High Court. The lawsuit was filed on May 9 and the bank has 20 days from the date of the filing to answer the complaint. talanei.com - One of the goals of the new LBJ Chief Executive Officer is to attain accreditation approval from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations for the territory s only medical facility. JCAHO accredits more than 19,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Many state governments have come to recognize JCAHO accreditation as a condition of licensure and the receipt of Medicaid reimbursement. LBJ CEO Joseph Davis-Fleming said having that kind of accreditation will open many doors in terms of professional development and funding opportunities for the hospital. He said LBJ facilities are in much better shape than he expected, considering it s an aging hospital. The CEO said it will cost money to get LBJ facilities to a level that the community and patients expect. By James Kneubuhl, ASCC P r e s s O ff i c e r - A m e r i c a n Samoa Area Health Education Center (ASAHEC) Program Coordinator Sailitafa Samoa, along with Dr. Daniel Chang, ASCC Allied Health Instructor; ASAHEC her staff member Kevin Jamison; and a pre- N u r s i n g s t u d e n t D o r i s Mendoza, returned earlier this month from a trip to Manu a. ASAHEC, hosted locally by the American Samoa Community College (ASCC), is part of a nationwide network of Area Health Education Centers whose mission is to support existing health education and t r a i n i n g p r o g r a m s a n d t o f a c i l i t a t e g r e a t e r s t u d e n t engagement in health careers, especially in underserved communities. Samoa explained the purpose of the week-long ASAHEC visit to Manu a as an attempt to increase and enlarge t h e s t u d e n t s a n d t e a c h e r s understanding of health and healthcare occupations, to promote college education, b u i l d r e l a t i o n s h i p s w i t h students and teachers, and i n f o r m t h e m o f a c a d e m i c opportunities and counseling at ASCC. Taking in Ofu, Olosega, Sili, Ta u and Fitiuta, the ASAHEC team gave presentations before both teachers and students to familiarize them with the many different health occupations, t e r m s u s e d w i t h i n t h e profession, and the particular health challenges faced by American Samoa. They also provided Manu a teachers with power-point presentations and online resources for future use in promoting healthy lifestyles. T h e A S A H E C D i r e c t o r described Manu a as one of t h e m o s t u n s p o i l e d a n d naturally beautiful places in Samoa, but expressed concern that a reliance on imported food has fostered a diet trend too high in protein and saturated fats. The Manu astudentswe saw were predominantly slim and healthy, with maybe a few cases that were overweight, o b s e r v e d S a m o a, b u t w e noticed a higher tendency towards overweight among some of the adults. A d u l t s u s c e p t i b i l i t y t o o v e r w e i g h t - r e l a t e d n o n - communicable diseases such as diabetes is a factor putting not just Manu a but all of American Samoa at a crisis, according to Samoa. We have some of the highest rates of obesity and non-communicable diseases in the world, she observed, and this is where ASAHEC strives to increase the awareness of the students and future healthcare leaders of American Samoa that they are very much needed in orderfor us to make a change. In addition to promoting health a w a r e n e s s a n d l i f e s t y l e changes, Samoa considers it crucial that more American S a m o a n s e n t e r t h e h e a l t h profession. ASAHEC hopes to work together with others in healthcare, the government and the community to identify ways to recruit and train more local students who will remain in the territory and serve our local r e s i d e n t s s o t h a t o u r government does not have to hire 75% of the healthcare professionals from off island, she said. Samoa related that when she analyzes the big picture, our Territory may end up paying dearly, and not just in monetary terms, for neglecting its own h e a l t h n e e d s. F r o m m y perspective, we urgently need a Territorial healthcare plan to be implemented that involves not only LBJMC and DOH, but all government agencies, she emphasized. At present, our local approach to health care is very fragmented, and this could have long-term implications not just for our economy, but for our culture as well. ASAHEC cannot meet these challenges alone. Our current leadership at the hospital and Public Health, Director Nua and Dr. Ledua, are doing their best but they need the help of the legislature and others in the government and in our communities. Through outreach projects like the Manu a visit, ASAHEC h o p e s t o p l a y a p a r t i n t h e change of circumstances in our health care situation that Samoa envisions.
