Between the Lines
TELEA
Mark Telea, the All Blacks wing with Samoan links is reportedly in the country. Keep an eye open for the sensational wing who dazzled in the recent Rugby World Cup.
MEDIA FRIENDLY
In recent months, the SNPF hierarchy have become less media friendly and have not responded to queries as previously. It is the public money you are dealing with, be transparent.
CHARGES
Speaking of transparency, it is a wonder how SNPF has introduced new charges without having consultations with the public or making the fees known to the public. Many are still in the dark about that.
SMILE
The thief at Lepea did everything but smile for the camera. He is pretty famous now and hopefully with his mug all over social media, the boys in blue make an arrest. Thank heavens for CCTV cameras.
TRAFFIC
The Samoa Police should be commended for trying to ensure road safety with all their checkpoints, however the traffic created by the checkpoints on Wednesday was giving some drivers high blood pressure in the heat.
POWER
It is only a matter of time until the electricity discount to domestic customers is revoked and it may take longer than predicted to become totally reliant on renewable energy.
