Shuster Reflecting their close ties with the United States, citizens of the Republic of Palau held a public ceremony to pay tribute to the seven astronauts lost when space shuttle Columbia disintegrated on its homeward journey. In response to the Iraq war, the republic joined President Bush's Coalition of the Willing, with President Remengesau's offering Palau's existing facilities as additional staging areas for military operations. In other international affairs, Mr Remengesau hosted the second Micronesian Presidents' Summit in late July. Joined by President Leo Falcam of the Federated States of Micronesia and President Kessai Note of the Marshall Islands, the chief executives of the freely associated states discussed a host of issues and released a joint communiqué at the end of their talks. The statement called for the continuation of open immigration to the United States and requested technical assistance from the United States in the area of security and anti-terrorism measures. A few weeks later, Remengesau led a delegation to theThirty-thirdPacific Island Forum meeting in Fiji. He presented two major proposals. The first called on the assembled nations to ease travel entry requirements for each other's citizens. The second initiative called for greater support and progress in adopting renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro, wind, and ocean thermal energy conversion. Remengesau stated that his islands' total dependence on foreign sources for fossil fuels diverted funds from much needed development projects.

hostName = '.typepad.com'; okedyulabeluu curing the malady and bringing back the senses Main February 26, 2004 Rain, Weather History, and PFA According to the rainfall records, the month of February, March, and April are the driest month of the year and that July is the wettest month. Records of rainfall were first recorded by the German Administration in three areas in Palau. Malakal from 1901-03, Koror from 1905-12, and in Angaur from 1909-11 (the Germans started the first phosphate mining in Angaur). The Japanese shows 17 years of rainfall records especially in Koror from 1924-41. Then after the war in 1947, National Weather Service started recording rainfall in Koror beginning in 1947, Ngesang (village in Ngaraard where Bethania High School is located) from 1955-79, and in Angaur from 1955-77 (stopped when U.S Coast Guard stationed on the island left home few years after the end of the Vietnam war). Palau averages around 3,800mm of rainfall per year. Since the beginning of this month, we have experienced more rainy that sunny days. It is becoming hard for us to rely on the historical records anymore, this is not just this year, as I recall last year in the month of March and April Palau was drenched with heavy rains and even the previous year (are you sure your memory serves you well?)

History of Micronesia Interview with Palau's President by Ian Williams From the Pacific Islands Monthly (Fiji), February, 1995 One other wrangle has been avoided. As President Nakamura explains in his interview with PIM, the long-lasting court case between a consortium of banks and Palau has been settled satisfactorily. The banks sued over a dubious loan made 10 years ago, which, with interest, would have crippled the newly independent state with a debt of somewhere in the region of a $100 million. The case had been bouncing between the State and Federal courts in New York for the past 10 years until the President intervened in 1993. Successive Palauan governments tried to get their hands on the funds that would be available under the Compact of Free Association with the US, but Washington was adamant the non-nuclear provisions had to go first. Vote after vote failed to raise the 75 percent majority needed to overturn the constitution until last year when the clause specifying the 75-percent was amended by referendum to allow a simple majority. After Spanish, German, Japanese, and American rule, one of the most colonised territories in the world now seems set for a prosperous independent future. The Compact assures a once off payment of $190 million, and then annual payments of $18 million for 14 years, which per capita for the estimated 15,000 inhabitants must make it the most heavily aided country in the world.

Recently we were talking about her dissertation there, which is a study of a group of people she calls "grassland grown." These people, who were not the pioneers, but rather the children of the pioneers, grew up with the country and loved it. They were the generation who created "the Great Plains" as a region, a homeland, and a conception in American life. Molly’s is a fascinating line of work, one that I had in mind when to my hand by fortunate purchase came a used copy of a regional classic, "Land of the Dacatahs," by Bruce Nelson. Nelson was grassland grown. He was born in 1913 in Flaxton, N. D., where his boyhood experiences included both pitching bundles into the thresher and setting type for the Flaxton Times. After that he attended the University of North Dakota and became a newspaper reporter. Bruce Nelson had a brother, Quintus, who was a basketball star at UND but was killed as a Marine in the Palau Islands in 1945. Bruce did not serve in the war, I suspect for medical reasons.

And even as we move to the end of the twentieth century, the age of colonialism is not over in the Pacific In 1990, the United Nations commenced the Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism - but today, there are still outliers of empire in the Pacific region. The United Nations Decolonisation Committee maintains a list of non-self-governing territories, which includes Pacific nations such as New Caledonia, Guam, East Timor, American Samoa and even tiny Pitcairn, the last element of the British empire in the region.
