Between the Lines.
WEATHER WARNING
Take heed of the marine weather advisory. There has been one mishap on the sea. Although no lives were lost, local fishers need not risk going against nature.
DANGEROUS
There needs to be a review of laws permitting people to sit in open trays of trucks. This is a dangerous practice and could lead to mishaps.
MEASLES
Measles vaccination needs to be ramped up. Use the vaccine van that has been donated. CHOGM is two weeks away, and low vaccination rates could lead to an outbreak. Prevent and not cure.
PROBE REPORT
Almost two months have passed since the accident on a power pole claimed the life of a linesman. What does the investigation report show? Then again, was an investigation ever done?
LETTERS
Students of a regional university have been inundating the letters to the editor as part of their assignment. Some are even forgetting that the issues they are raising are not related to Samoa.
ALLOWANCES
The allowances for the Manusina players must be relooked. Unlike the men’s national team, the allowances received by the team are minimal. The team has been performing well.
