Areas of joint work will include village-based marine protected areas ecotourism development opportunities, coordinated education and outreach, the sanctuary advisory council, and additional opportunities for collaboration. Strong interagency coordination works towards identification of common goals and priority issues, community engagement, and more effective in natural resource conservation. Astronaut Honored by the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa The National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa was proud to host a public seminar by Christina Hammock, member of NASA's newest astronaut class. Christina, Chief at the NOAA Climate Observatory on the island of Tutuila, presented to a packed house at the Tauese P.F. Sunia Ocean Center on her previous work as an engineer at NASA and at remote outposts across the world, including Antarctica, Greenland, northern Alaska, and American Samoa. The audience included a large proportion of local high school students, who peppered her with questions about how to become an astronaut and what she will be doing as a part of the space program. Christina inspired youth and adults alike and commended the work of the National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa. Christina is one of eight astronaut candidates selected from a pool of over 6,000 applicants. She starts astronaut training in August 2013 and will be wearing her sanctuary shirt and cap while she "tinkers" on the International Space Station.

MAGALEI: OMV OVERCHARGE FALLS UNDER TREASURY, NOT THE AG by Fili Sagapolutele Samoa News Correspondent Sen. Magalei Logovi’i has voiced to ASG Treasurer Uelinitone Tonumaipea the government policy when it comes to reimbursing the public if they are overcharged; for example, the registration renewal of vehicles at the Office of Motor Vehicles that appears to have overcharged car owners for many years. Magalei raised the issue and sought an explanation on refunds when Tonumaipea appeared before the Senate Budget and Appro- priations Committee for a hearing last Friday morning on federal deductions — FICA and Medicare — being imposed on allow- ance checks for lawmakers. (See yesterday’s Samoa News for details). The senator is the Senate Budget and Appropriations Com- mittee chairman. The Tualauta Senator recalled a Senate Public Safety Com- mittee hearing held a day earlier, during which Attorney General Talauega Eleasalo Ale testified regarding OMV registrations.
