Between the Lines
OPPORTUNITY
The top cop’s trip to the territory may present an opportunity to talk about border issues dealing with the ice epidemic. Yet another bust at the wharf, and the drugs came from Pago.
CARGO
The ship to Pago Pago is carrying precious cargo. Let’s just say that prime steak from Samoa’s finest will be enjoyed at the meeting.
LOUD
What could have been the reason for loud voices heard in the government corridors from the closed-door meeting on the fifth floor? Sounds like something important and not agreed upon.
DECLARED
Another flight to Pago Pago leaves on Friday with more government officials. The guys at the Treasury Department know very well what will be declared and what will not.
PREPARED
Kudos to the power people. They are hard at work removing trees along power lines in various areas. It is the cyclone season and it is always better to be prepared.
FUEL
The fuel shortage has brought the island of Tonga to its knees, while Australia has less than a month of fuel reserves. Hopefully, all is well on our side.
