Finally, a silence

by Mark on March 16, 2010

Residents of Manoa can now sleep through the night. =) The funny thing is it took a lot of effort and patience to capture this little buggah.

It took a lot of trying, but the lone Manoa coqui frog has been captured.

The presence of coqui, known for its piercing, loud shrieks, had dismayed residents of Melemele Place, a quiet dead-end road on the East side of Manoa Valley. Neighbors and state Department of Agriculture inspectors went out many nights trying to catch the frog, which is about the size of a quarter.

The problem was, every time residents went looking for it, their flashlights would scare the frog into silence.

“I would hear it and go out there and it would stop, so I would turn off my flashlight and just wait in the dark,” said Laka Preis Carpenter, who lives on Melemele Place and went on several frog hunting missions.

Gruesome Homicide

by Mark on March 15, 2010

For garbage bag amount of marijuana?

The alleged sequence of events began the morning of Peredo’s death, when Delorie, Lizama, Terlaje and Derrick Cruz allegedly met to plan a burglary, according to a Superior Court of Guam declaration signed by Lemons.

The declaration states the defendants allegedly planned to go after Peredo’s marijuana. Lemons said there was enough marijuana involved to fill several large garbage bags, but he couldn’t be more specific because authorities had not yet weighed it.

Really sad to hear young guys engage in this kind of a murder plot.
