Power Restored After Storm Fault: Severe weather triggered an underground fault on Feeder 1, knocking out electricity for many eastern-side customers from Leloaloa to Onenoa; ASPA restored power around 12:30 p.m. after crews battled heavy rain, and a public apology went out as residents waited. ASTCA Training Push: 24 trainees completed ASTCA’s Tower Climber/Rescuer and Rigging training (May 12–15), aiming to strengthen safe telecom work at height. Overtime Rules Shift (US): The U.S. Department of Labor moved to rescind the Biden-era overtime threshold after courts vacated the 2024 rule, returning employers to the earlier 2019 salary level. Public Safety & Courts: Police charged a man after an alleged rape involving a 16-year-old; separate cases also include domestic assault allegations and other arrests tied to alleged assaults and disturbances. Community Milestones: ASCC held its 84th commencement, with Congresswoman Uifa’atali Amata congratulating 75 graduates.
