Between the Lines
EASTER LEVY
A church on the big island has imposed a $2000 compulsory levy on every family that goes to the church to pay a loan taken to build a church. Families are supposed to provide the money this Easter.
TEENS
Social media literacy should be a school subject. The amount of stupidity put up on social media by teenage schoolchildren is overwhelming. Living for likes.
FAUTASI
It was good to see the fautasi races in Pago Pago. On this side of the ocean, there has not been a race for more than a year. Do not let this tradition die out.
RUSH
Some supermarkets will be open for business on Friday. There will be a rush by many who were unable to shop on Thursday. It is going to be hot. Please avoid road rage.
BREEDING
Time for contractors and residents in areas where there are blocked waterways to do something about clearing them. A dengue outbreak has been declared and those are perfect breeding places.
FULL POWER
There were no power outages on Thursday. It seems that the rented generators have now been tested and are helping in sharing the load. Hopefully, the whole Easter weekend is ‘lit’.
