Happy Father's Day from the Sorensen Media Group!

The National Weather Service (NWS) Guam Weather Fo

The National Weather Service (NWS) Guam Weather Forecast Office continues to monitor a tropical disturbance just southeast of Chuuk. “Invest Area 94W” is currently unorganized with a broad circulation located near 6 degrees north latitude and 153 degrees east longitude. It is expected to organize over the next 36 hours and it is in a favorable location for further development, as it tracks west-northwestward toward Guam.

There is a possibility of development into a tropical cyclone that passes near the Marianas next week. However, 94W remains disorganized and the rate and timing of development remains uncertain. Regardless of this uncertainty, 94W is expected to bring a wetter pattern to the region Tuesday and Tuesday night with numerous to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also possible Wednesday and Wednesday night.

While there is still uncertainty as to what the impacts will be to Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, the community is reminded to practice caution. To prepare for any circumstance, the community is advised to take precautionary measures now, while the weather is clear:

· Stay up to date with the latest information in the coming days. The system track or intensity may change and advisories may be issued.

· Locate or prepare your emergency preparedness kits for your household; stock up on non-perishable food items and water for your household, flashlights, first-aid kits, batteries, matches or lighters, portable stove, toiletries, etc. Visit https://www.ready.gov/build-a-kit for more information on what to include in your supplies list.

· Secure important documents such as birth certificates, tax papers, and insurance documents and keep copies in a water-proof bag.

· Clear loose debris around your yard and store any items that may become airborne with heavy winds, before inclement weather arrives.

· Gas your vehicles and get fuel for your generators now while the weather is clear.

· Be prepared to take action if flood advisories are issued. In inclement weather, avoid camping, parking, or hiking along streams, rivers, and creeks during heavy rainfall.

Guam plans CNMI style ‘travel bucks’ tourism i

Guam plans CNMI style ‘travel bucks’ tourism incentive program

Guam’s tourism officials are planning to establish a CNMI-style ‘travel bucks’ tourism investment program to boost the island’s struggling tourism industry.

To stimulate more economic activity, the CNMI government plans to give each tourist visiting the CNMI $250 to $500 per island (Saipan, Tinian, Rota) in “travel bucks” to spend at qualified businesses, such as optional tours, retail stores, and restaurants.

During Thursday’s Guam Visitors Bureau board meeting, chairman Milton Morinaga said the Guam Hotel Restaurant Association wants to spearhead a similar incentive program on Guam.

Hotel and restaurant members of GHRA have been suffering from the lack of tourists visiting Guam.

GHRA has been looking at adopting an incentive program similar to the one in Hawaii wherein some $75 million in federal COVID relief money have been invested in $500 debit cards distributed to residents for them to spend on restaurants and other tourism-related benefits.

Morinaga said something similar may be done on Guam with the federal money the island is receiving.

He said GVB will not be spending any money on this and the one that will be in charge of funding would be the Guam Economic Development Authority.

Morinaga said GHRA is now talking with GEDA to see if such an incentive program can be put up on Guam. GVB will be helping in the planning and implementation of the incentive program.

Such an incentive program for the island’s long-suffering tourism businesses is deemed crucial as more businesses continue to remain closed. Morinaga said many restaurants and some hotels have remained closed due to the lack of tourism business.

The CNMI incentive program, called Tourism Resumption Investment Plan, or TRIP, will have an initial two-month pilot period beginning in mid-July, during which the CNMI government will provide subsidies to airlines, hotels, travel agencies, and related businesses to help jumpstart tourism.

On Guam, GVB President Carl Gutierrez had said Adelup has already committed $20 million to help prop up Guam’s tourism.

Fernandez updates Rotarians on GDOE developments B

Fernandez updates Rotarians on GDOE developments
By Julianne Hernandez

Guam Department of Education Superintendent Jon Fernandez spoke at the Rotary Club of Tumon Bay meeting held recently at the Lotte Hotel Guam.

Fernandez gave various GDOE updates — from the available technological equipment to students and federal funds set aside for school needs ... to plans for the upcoming school year.

A member of the Rotary asked a question regarding students’ emotional and social development being stunted as most haven’t set foot on their school campuses for over a year due to the pandemic.

Fernandez responded, saying that in order for GDOE to better assess that issue, they must first address the matter of face-to-face instruction.

“The strategy is to first get the kids back because I can’t really do much when they’re stuck at home, not engaged, and they’re going through all these issues that you can’t really successfully intervene in. So when it comes to learning loss and learning recovery, our focus is to get the students back in the classrooms so we can assess how they’re doing and we can start working on uncovering the skills and issues they need to address,” Fernandez said.

He added: “When we get the students back, the first step is to not throw them back into the homework that they need to complete the next day. It really is going to take time and effort for the kids to re-adjust back into a routine, back into the interactions with other kids.”

Fernandez also responded to another Rotary member’s question regarding GDOE’s support for teachers and the impact the school year had on them and the upcoming school year.

He said: “We need our teachers back. If we do online, then we’re going to start doing online with more parameters around it, on what content area, what age group would really succeed and get out of the mode of doing it as a crisis response.”

Fernandez added that GDOE intends for online learning to still be a part of the curriculum. But he stressed that online learning has to be done separately from the crisis response to help students who can truly benefit from it.

Simon Sanchez High School holds ‘Grad & Go’ gr

Simon Sanchez High School holds ‘Grad & Go’ graduation ceremony
By Julianne Hernandez

With COVID restrictions still in place, all Guam Department of Education schools have been holding motorcade ceremonies for their graduating seniors.

However, that didn’t stop the Simon Sanchez High School graduating class of 2021 from coming up with a creative way to celebrate their graduation while still complying with CDC guidelines.

Like many of GDOE’s public schools, this is the high school’s second year of a “Grad & Go” graduation ceremony.

Simon Sanchez High School Principal Carla Dulay Masnayon tells PNC that their graduation ceremony was coordinated by their senior class, along with school staff, and they came up with a hybrid graduation ceremony

“Since the majority of the kids were not able to come on campus and they were doing online learning, the senior class had to organize and coordinate a lot of this via online with the students, via e-mail, and it was really the advisors that were coming on campus to make sure everything fell into place,” Masnayon said.

She added: “It was their idea to actually come down and walk the main hallway one last time because they didn’t get to do it this year.”

Masnayon says the school also added another service to students at the graduation ceremony.

“A lot of our students weren’t able to take their professional photographs in the venue so at least the senior class was able to secure some money so that they can do some photography at the school site. This was a free service for our graduates so when the photos are available, they’ll be able to pick them up,” Masnayon said.

Like many of GDOE’s schools, this is the high school’s second year of a “Grad & Go” graduation ceremony.

Simon Sanchez had a total of 218 graduates at the ceremony and anticipates having 40 more graduates at their Rainbow graduation ceremony
