By late Monday Guam time, civil defense officials had not yet determined the number of people killed, injured or left homeless by Pongsona, which the island on Sunday. Members of Guam's Fire Department and the National Guard searched for possible survivors stranded without shelter or transportation. Public schools, 15 of which were turned into shelters to house more than 2,000 people, remained closed. The storm also left more than 300 people homeless on Saipan and Rota in the neighboring Northern Mariana Islands, while damaging crops on Rota and Tinian, said officials in the U.S. commonwealth. No major injuries were reported. An official at Guam Memorial Hospital confirmed at least one death - an elderly woman who was cut badly and went into cardiac arrest. At least five other deaths occurred during the storm, but officials had not determined whether they were linked. President Bush declared the U.S. territory a federal disaster area on Sunday. Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency began preliminary assessments of damage. "We're really here to support all of you," said David Fukutami, FEMA's coordinating officer. "We're going into the long haul here and the weight of the federal family is behind all of us." The entire island was without electricity, and water and sewer systems aren't expected to be fully operational for several weeks, Gov. Carl Gutierrez said Monday. Pongsona blew across the area for hours. The sustained wind speed estimated at 150 mph around the eye of the storm gave Pongsona "supertyphoon" status. The storm blasted some spots with gusts up to 184 mph, officials said. Extensive structural damage was reported across the island, but it will be some time before the full extent is known, officials said. Some walls collapsed at Guam Memorial Hospital, the island's only civilian hospital, forcing the closure of the pediatrics ward and the intensive care, respiratory and medical telemetry units, hospital administrator David Shimizu said. Navy Hospital Guam also reported damage, but its emergency room remained open, said Ensign Mike Morely at U.S. Pacific Fleet headquarters in Honolulu. The storm caused extensive damage and flooding to Naval facilities and housing areas, which were experiencing low to no water pressure, Morely said. Crews were working to bring the Navy's Fena Water Treatment Facility back on line, he said. The storm steam rolled about 60 percent of the metal security fences surrounding Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport, which remained closed. Guam Police Department Officials said officers are working to protect residents and business owners who fear looting. At Pearl Harbor, disaster resources - ranging from ships to generators to water - were being identified for possible shipment to Guam, officials said. A 19-member Air Force team headed for Guam today to assist in recovery efforts after Typhoon Pongsona. Active duty troops from the 15th Civil Engineer Squadron and 15th Services squadron departed Hickam Air Force Base this morning, Air Force officials said. Officials said about $15,000 worth of relief supplies lumber, fencing, batteries and other construction materials were being loaded unto several aircraft for transport to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. Hickam personnel last supported typhoon recovery efforts in Guam after Typhoon Chataan swept through the island in July. Guam is west of the international date line, about 3,700 miles southwest of Hawai'i. The storm's eye crossed the northern end of Guam, but the entire island was hit by at least part of the storms' eye wall, which contains the strongest wind.

The primary focus of this site was to bun the rock band P.O.D.; however, there is STRAIGHT AND PLAIN RASTAFARIANISM AND REGGAE BASHING in the text. Conveniently, there is a button at the bottom of the page so readers can forward the page to their friends so that they can see what hater exists--everybody is free to say what they like, but they shouldn't do it with such HATRED. Maybe the writer of this page should be "Chant Down"? Let him be? I'm a learner, as opposed to an educator, so I don't know.

Rebel Salute will mark the tenth anniversary since this very popular roots and culture music production found its home in the consciousness of a people. The Rebel, who was recently awarded the Order of Distinction for his contribution to reggae music, says his anniversary gift to the loyal patrons of Rebel Salute will be another electrifying roots festival, featuring the artistic genius of some of reggae's finest sons. Staged once more in beautiful St. Bess, at the Port Kaiser Sport Club, the ultimate conscious vibrations will echo from deejay, Buju Banton. The 'Gargamel' has been noticeably absent from the Rebel Salute line-up for a couple of years, but his sheer musical power and scintillating stagecraft remains unmatched in the dancehall. Beresford Hammond, another recipient of the Order of Distinction for outstanding work in the field of entertainment, along with singers, Bob Andy and George Nooks, will also share their gift of song at Rebel Salute 10. Idolized for harmonious vocals and deeply spiritual messages, Luciano and Abijah will give encore renditions of their righteous raps. The more aggressive dancehall style is never absent at Rebel Salute as Sizzla makes his return to the stage and Capleton threatens to become an institution at this reggae festival. The future of roots reggae will be well represented by exciting newcomers, I'ngel Chanta and Lymie Murray while the present queens of the business, Nadine Sutherland and Queen Ifrika complete the billing. If Rebel Salute 2002 is anything to go by, Promoter Tony Rebel can boast a superbly organized production. The Rebel says his Flames Productions Company is working hard to ensure the measures instituted last year, resulting in smooth entrances and exits and improved ticketing and parking, will remain in place. In anticipation of the usual massive following at this event, traffic control procedures will again be strictly enforced in order to ensure and maintain the general order experienced at the show's venue in previous years. The Official Launch of Rebel Salute 2003, the 10th Anniversary, is scheduled for Monday, December 30 at the Hilton Kingston Hotel at 7:00 pm.

Lalibela wishes to thank all who came out in support at Shine in NYC on November 17. We are currently booking the band and look forward to meeting and greeting all the fans. Special thanks going out to the musicians...Courtney, Robbie, Gene, Brian, Jillian, Don, Pam, Jenny, and E-Jah. Big up General Smiley for his solid performance as always. DJ Floydie Ranks, Dub poet Ras Fikre, background singers Geraldine and Debbie...thank you all! Jahri...you're the best! Remember, the CD can be purchased at http://www.reggaecd.com or write to us at info@upfulonerecords.com We are currently working with a distributor in Canada and hope to get the CD in stores everywhere very soon. More thanks going out to Chuck Foster from The BEAT Magazine for his review in the recent "Reggae Update" column. For those who haven't seen it yet, you can read it right here...... "What a surprise when I dropped LALIBELA's Black Son Rising (Upful One) to hear a full band sound with tight arrangements, solid instrumentalization and vibrant vocals. Singers Roy "Jahri" Walters and Terry King trade lead vocals throughout and their individually distinctive treatments along with the professional (and professionally recorded) music call to mind the likes of Third World, Blue Riddim or Misty in Roots. Short bursts of dancehall dj stylings keep it contemporary and help to pump the excitement. Among the best cuts are "Reggae Revelation", "Mighty Lion", and "Seize This Opportunity". Interestingly all the songs are written by Jillian Wess, the keyboard player and executive producer. R&B and gospel underpinnings-check "Emotional"--they also cop to jazz, funk, and just a hint of rock and roll on "It's Not My Style". A superb first outing from a band to watch for--I can't wait to see them live"....Chuck Foster News from UPFUL Productions inc......Producer Jillian Wess and General Smiley are currently in the studio working on the new cd for the General to be completed within the coming months. Nuff respect to Dr. Dread and the crew at RAS Records for their love and support of General Smiley. We plan on bringing you one wicked cd with some very special guest artists to include Yami Bolo. Others will be announced shortly. Until next time....
