Abstract: KPress Vol. 10 Iss. 11: NEWS: Pohnpei, FSM—Price-control enforcement had not yet been fully implemented by the Department of Economic Affairs, though preparatory steps were underway, including the hiring of Peter Walter, who immediately participated in a two-week training program in Pohnpei conducted by Guam Tax and Revenue officers and was scheduled to attend an additional two-week training session in Guam beginning April 26, as officials including Vallerio Hallens reported that vendors initially raised questions but became more receptive once program expectations were clarified; commemorative coverage marks ANZAC Day, observed on April 25, recalling the sacrifices of Australian and New Zealand forces following the Gallipoli landings during World War I, the heavy casualties suffered, and the day’s establishment in 1916 as one of the most significant national days of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand; regional maritime-regulation reporting notes that the Micronesian Shipping Commission (MSC) continued setting and coordinating commercial shipping regulations and licensing across the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, emphasizing equitable carrier operations, preferential licensing provisions for shippers that take on Micronesian interns, and workforce development opportunities through internship programs, with commissioners meeting in Pohnpei on April 19 and 20 to address regulatory priorities, including environmental and fisheries-related shipping concerns modeled on cooperative regional frameworks; OPINION / EDITORIAL: commentary notes that the Attorney General had not yet been consulted for a formal legal opinion on a related policy matter, though discussions had recently taken place between the Attorney General and Governor John Ehsa, with opinions attributed to the author.
