The occasion was the opening of the impressive Courtly Art of the Ancient Maya exhibition which had just moved from it’s time at the National Gallery in Washington, DC. It will be in The City through January 2, 2005, but do not dawdle; it is an insight that demonstrates the visual magnificence of ancient Maya art with over 130 masterworks drawn from some 30 public and private lenders.

  • Historical Review: "Justicia Para Todo" Judiciary History
    Judiciary History - Historical Review: "Justicia para todo" War, diplomacy, social or economic pressure have been used throughout history to resolve disputes. They have literally shaped the world. Today’s court systems are a product of man’s desire to settle disputes in a more peaceful, equitable and socially acceptable manner. Method of justice continues to evolve in our land with every case or motion brought before the courts. Today’s Superior Court of Guam serves as a forum to resolve disputes locally. And though the system itself is not a product of Guam, the questions and conclusions most certainly are. This booklet is not so much a history of the courts as it is a story of the people of the island and type of justice that has prevailed on our shores. As we celebrate the opening of the new Guam Judicial Center, it is only fitting that we remember those who contributed to the growth of Guam’s courts system. Throughout the past century, the dedicated men and women who served the courts helped ensure that justice continued to prevail on our shores. It is to these fine people of yester year and those who will serve our courts in the future that this booklet is dedicated to. Thank you and Si Yuus Maase. Judiciary History - Justice on Guam: "The Chamorros" "Yanggen numa'piniti hao taotao, nangga ma na piniti-mu Mase ha apmaman na tiempo, un apasi sa' dibi-mu." Translated: When you hurt someone, wait for your turn to hurt. Even if it takes a while, you will pay because it's your debt.

  • LT Crotty, USCG, WWII POW of the Japanese
    PACIFIC CURRENTS NEWSLETTER “They Also Serve” VOLUME XX ISSUE IV 1 DECEMBER 2019 United States Coast Guard Retiree Council Northwest LT CROTTY, USCG, WWII POW OF THE JAPANESE Lieutenant Thomas James Eugene Crotty, USCG was laid to rest on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019 at : Holy Cross Cemetery, 2900 South Park Avenue, Lackawanna, New York LT Thomas Crotty was the only Coast Guardsman to serve in the Defense of the Philippines. Crotty was the first Coast Guard prisoner of war since the War of 1812 and one of four USCG POWs during WWII. Crotty served in four different military branches while deployed to the Philippines. Crotty managed and coached Buffalo's 1929 American Legion Junior National Baseball Championship team and he was class president during his time at the Coast Guard Academy. LT Crotty’s story has been lost and forgotten like the heroic sacrifices made by thousands of defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. Jimmy Crotty was a member of the long blue line and his brief life embodied the Coast Guard’s core values of honor, respect and devotion to duty. LT Crotty was born on 18 March 1912, in Buffalo, New York. He graduated from the United States Coast Guard Academy in 1934 after serving as Company Commander, class president and captain of the Academy’s football team. After graduation, Crotty began a promising Coast Guard career, which hardened him into a mature leader. For six years, he served on board cutters based out of New York, Seattle, Sault Ste. Marie and San Diego. His assignments included duty on cutter Tampa, during her 1934 rescue of passengers from the burning passenger liner Morro Castle; and, a Justice Department appointment as special deputy on the Bering Sea Patrol.

Cruz Dissertation Committee: Neal Milner, Chairperson Michael Shapiro Noenoe Silva David Hanlon Julie Kaomea ii © Copyright by Mary Therese F. Cruz, 2011 All rights reserved iii DEDICATION To my parents, Samuel and Dorothy Cruz. They have been a source of strength in my life. They taught me the value of education, the possibility of dreams, and the power of love. I have been blessed, and for this I dedicate this dream to them. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing is a personal search that requires the commitment of not only the writer but a community. Together we embarked on this search that led us through the memories of a place I call home. The search is complete, for now, and the community deserves endless thank yous. My first thank you belongs to my professor and advisor, Neal Milner, who patiently guided me on my search. Your support allowed me to keep searching. I would also like to thank my committee, Michael Shapiro, Noenoe Silva, David Hanlon, and Julie Kaomea. Your work, your teaching, and your support inspired me to embark on this search. This search would not have been possible without the wisdom of those who possess a far greater understanding of what it means to be Chamoru. I would like to thank those whose memories were part of my search.
