ASO FARAILE, ME 17, 2013.  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.
With God helping you: you have God’s ability to do God’s
will. 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.

NUUULI, AS – The locally
produced news documentary,
”YIELD” will debut as 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
challenge to the longunquestioned assumptions that
discussion about sex education
is a taboo in American Samoa.
The documentary, produced by
the teen participants, staff
members, and partners of
Intersections, Inc., has
generated a powerful, often
emotional response from
community members who
were able to hear audio files of
interviews presented in this
piece.
Intersections, Inc. in
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
Expressions of Life’s
Dilemmas, a project of
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.
“ Te e n a g e p r e g n a n c y i s
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
investing enough in the
development of our youth?”
The film presents an
opportunity to look at some of
these issues more closely as
well as the educational
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

ASO FARAILE, ME 17, 2013.  THE SAMOA POST
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 $300-500
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.”

talanei.com - ANZ Bank has declined to make any public
statements in response to a lawsuit filed against the bank by one
of its customers.
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.

Press Officer - American
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 preNursing student Doris
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
training programs and to
facilitate greater student
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
the students and teachers
understanding of health and
healthcare occupations, to
promote college education,
build relationships with
students and teachers, and
inform them of academic
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,
terms used within the
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.
The ASAHEC Director
described Manu’a as one of
“the most unspoiled and
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”,
observed Samoa, “but we
noticed a higher tendency
towards overweight among
some of the adults.”
Adult susceptibility to
overweight-related noncommunicable 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
awareness and lifestyle
changes, Samoa considers it
crucial that more American
Samoans enter the health
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
residents so that our
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
health needs. “From my
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
hopes to play a part in the
change of circumstances in our
health care situation that Samoa
envisions. Their next activity
will involve a health care
occupations program for middle
school and high school students
over the summer. “We are still
trying to work on a training for
some of the local healthcare
employees”, said Samoa, “and
we’re here to assist any students
and their parents who are
interested in learning more
about healthcare occupations.
We c o n c u r r e n t l y s e e k t o
collaborate with other
government agencies, churches,
villages and nonprofit
organizations to promote health
and healthcare occupations.”
Samoa expressed her
gratitude to her colleagues at
ASCC and ASG for making the
trip possible: Dr. Seth Galea’i,
