Hawaii’s unionized carpenters
have gone from being fully employed to seeing nearly 20 percent
of their ranks put out of work in
just the past 90 days.
Some 1,500 of the 7,800 members
of the Hawaii Carpenters Union
are now jobless, said Ron Taketa,
the union’s financial secretary
and business representative.
The numbers include about 900
members on Oahu, which has 75
percent of the membership, 200 on
the Big Island and 250 on Maui.
While Hawaii’s construction
industry was anticipating the
volume of work would slow this
year, the abruptness of the down-

ou are the schedule.
Though not trademarked,
that’s the credo of Hawaii’s
new luxury airline.
As Resort Air’s two-crew,
eight-passenger Cessna Citation II corporate jet prepared
for takeoff from Honolulu to
Princeville, Kauai, earlier this
week, executive concierge Allison Pettersson gave lei to two
passengers.
“Would you like some Starbucks coffee or a malasada
from Leonard’s?” she asked.
Pettersson’s smile is infectious,
y
her service efficient and 24-7.
“We’re in no hurry,” she added. “You are the schedule.”
Here’s what Pettersson
means: Fly when you want.
Check in when you want. Depart when you want.
No overbooked flights. No getting bumped. No ID required.
No metal detector or removing shoes. No “Could you step
over here, please?”
And no intrusive luggage
search, extra charge for bags,
lost suitcases.
There are even separate, private — and clean — bathrooms, a
lounge and a business center.
Thank you for flying Resort Air. That will be $12,000,
please.
On May 8, Jeff Stone, president of The Resort Group,
owner and operator of Kauai’s
Princeville Resort and Oahu’s
Ko Olina Resort & Marina,
launched Hawaii’s only private
interisland jet service.
Resort Air invited a PBN reporter and photographer to experience the “jet limo” service,
which began with the arrival
of a Cloud 9 limousine at their

turn is taking many by surprise.
As with the sudden shutdowns
of Aloha and ATA airlines and
several smaller employers, March
marked a turning point that saw
activity in a number of industries
come to a standstill.
The carpenters were fully employed at this time last year and as
recently as February, only 100 or so
were out of work, Taketa said.
The upheavals in the nation’s
financial markets have led big
lenders to cut off financing for
construction projects already under way, which recently happened
at the luxury Hokulia golf course
development on the Big Island.

Buyer of Hilo Hattie sees
many challenges ahead
By Janis L. Magin
The investors buying Hilo Hattie acknowledge they are purchasing a financially troubled
company and are looking for help
to turn the business around.
The Hawaii-themed retailer’s
financial troubles were known
to some in the Honolulu business
community before the sale to a
group of California investors was
announced last week.
“I don’t think it’s a secret that
the company has had some financial challenges,” said Ted Nelson, a principal of TOC Inc., the
group that is buying the privately
owned 45-year-old company from
founder Jim Romig.
The sale, for a price that has

“So we’ve got
some work to do
to position the company to move forward and we
need support from local vendors
and we need support from the
community and we need support
from the bank community,” Nelson said.
Nelson, who owns the Hawaii
franchise of Fantastic Sams hair

Property owner sells off Hawaii portfolio
Real estate
Properties owned by art Howard and family, being marketed by CB Richard ellis
By Janis L. magin
pacific business news
The owner of local property management
company Hawaiian Asset Management Co.
is closing the firm this summer after 23 years
in business and liquidating a portfolio of Hawaii properties estimated at $90 million.
Art Howard, who started Hawaiian Asset
Management Co. in 1985, said he will close
the business July 1 and turn the property
management of his portfolio over to CB
Richard Ellis.
Two of his eight employees plan to retire,
while the other six have been given assistance in finding other jobs, he said.
CB Richard Ellis is marketing the portfolio of seven office, retail, industrial and
multifamily properties owned by Howard
and his family.
The properties for sale include the Pali
Palms Plaza office complex and Windward
City Shopping Center in Windward Oahu,
Dillingham Shopping Plaza and Waiakamilo
properties in Kalihi, the Waipahu Office
Plaza, the Ewa Kai Apartments in Ewa
Beach and two commercial condominiums
in Harbor Square in downtown Honolulu.
Four of the properties are leasehold —
the Pali Palms Plaza and Windward City
Shopping Center are on ground leases held
by Kaneohe Ranch, while the Dillingham
Shopping Center and the Waiakamilo
properties are on land owned by Kamehameha Schools.
Howard, who lives in California’s San
Francisco Bay area but comes back to Hawaii once a month, said he chose CBRE and
its senior vice president and retail specialist,
Wendell Brooks III, because Brooks’ father,
Wendell Brooks Jr., one of the founders of
Chaney, Brooks & Co, is an old friend.
Hamico also manages a dozen or so other

office and retail properties, but it is unknown at this time whether CBRE will take
over those clients as well, Brooks said.
The asking prices for the properties vary.
For example, the 58,772-square-foot Pali
Palms complex, which includes Pinky’s
restaurant, is priced at $17.5 million, while
the asking price for the 210,188-square-foot
Windward City Shopping Center is $50
million, Brooks said.
Howard had a deal to sell the properties last year, but the prospective buyers
pulled out.
In June 2007 he sold another property, a
20-acre site of the future Laulani Village
shopping center in Ewa Beach, to Westwood
Development Group for $47.2 million. Howard’s Laulani Village LLC had bought the
property in November 2004 for $12 million.
Brooks also is handling the leasing for

A bitter fight among the family members
who own Star Markets Ltd. has been settled
out of court but the future of the local grocery store chain remains uncertain.
A plan to sell the company set off
the dispute, which ultimately led to a
lawsuit pitting former Star Markets
President and CEO John Fujieki
against his cousins, Patrick Fujieki
and Jo Ann Yonehara, over control
of the business.
John Fujieki sued his cousins and
the company last May, claiming he was
wrongfully fired for speaking up against
the sale. The two sides had been in mediation since last September and reached a
settlement earlier this month.
“Star Markets and its shareholders are
pleased to announce that they have reached
an amicable and reasonable settlement of
all claims in the various litigation matters
between them,” John Fujieki’s attorney,
Jerry Hiatt, said in a prepared statement.
“No party has admitted any fault under
the settlement. All the shareholders and
family members have agreed to work
together diligently for the benefit of Star
Markets, its employees, all shareholders
and family members.”
Hiatt said he could not discuss the
details of the settlement.
Star Markets’ attorney, John
Yamano of the McCorriston Miller Mukai MacKinnon law firm,
referred PBN to Star Markets’ corporate secretary, Phyllis Masuda,
who did not return calls.
In his lawsuit, John Fujieki detailed a
bitter battle for control of the company and
claimed his cousins, along with current
President and CEO Karl Wissmann, wanted
to cash out on Star Markets by attempting to
sell it for less than what it was worth.
According to the lawsuit, John Fujieki
controlled 23,408 shares of Star Markets
stock, which was enough to block a take-

Laulani Village, which will be anchored
by Safeway.
Howard bought a partner out eight years
ago, leaving him and his family the sole
owners of Hamico. The properties are
owned by Howard and family members.
None of Howard’s five children is interested in commercial real estate, which is
one of the reasons he decided to sell and
retire, he said.
“They’ve got their own businesses and
I’m not one to push them,” he said.
Although he doesn’t own a home in Hawaii — he’s a frequent guest at the Hyatt
Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa — Howard
plans to continue to visit the islands, especially Maui where he has bought two
condominiums under construction.

over or buyout. Since Star Markets is a
private corporation, it is not known who
the majority shareholder is and whether
there still are plans to sell the company.
Star Markets in recent years has struggled to remain profitable in the face of
increased competition.
Some competitors, like Whole Foods
Market, are entering the Hawaii market
for the first time. Others, like Safeway, have
been opening new stores and remodeling
existing ones.
For some 80 years, Star Markets has
remained the quaint neighborhood grocer
in Hawaii but has taken steps to modernize
its facilities by renovating and expanding
its higher-performing stores in Moiliili
and Kihei to remain competitive.
However, it has closed three stores in the
past 15 months — in Kahala, Kaneohe and,
most recently at the Maui Mall in Kahului.
It has seven remaining stores on Oahu,
Kauai and Maui.

Booz Allen’s Hawaii leadership
changes, ‘Chuck’ Jones to retire
ManageMent
charlie r. Jones Jr.
By Cathy Cruz-george
Booz Allen Hamilton Inc.’s Honolulu
office will undergo a change of command
this summer when Vice President Charlie
R. “Chuck” Jones Jr. retires.
Jones, who turned 65 on April 30, will
become a senior executive adviser, or consultant, for the management-consulting
firm for at least one year while David J.
Karp, a vice president in the San Diego
office, temporarily fills the top position.
Karp, who will remain in San Diego, is a
weapons expert with 30 years’ experience
with the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy.
“Our long-term plan is to physically
relocate him [David] or another partner
here,” Jones said. “We will ask people if
they are interested in being responsible
for Honolulu.”
Meantime, three principals will run dayto-day operations — Rear Adm. Kenneth L.
Fisher, Robert Lietzke and Steve Park.
Age: 65
Family: Wife, Skipper Akey Jones, and four
children ages 33 to 40
Career: 24 years as an officer in the U.S. Navy
Boards: Board director of the Naval Intelligence Professionals and the Pacific Forum;
Joint Military Intelligence College Foundation;
Military Advisory Committee of The Chamber
of Commerce of Hawaii
Advice: “Take risks and assignments that are
a little beyond you. Be cooperative and collaborative. And ask for help. Many people believe
asking for help is a sign of weakness; I believe
it’s a sign of intellectual strength.”
Moving to part-tiMe
The only change for Jones, a former Navy
officer who joined the firm’s Virginia headquarters in 1989 and the Honolulu office in
2005, is that he will work part time.
The management changes come as Booz
Allen’s Honolulu team works with the
U.S. military to reposition thousands of
soldiers and their families in the Pacific
Rim over the next decade. The team is involved in planning, financial management,
technology consulting and training in the
Pacific, among other duties.
To keep up with growth, Booz Allen plans
to double its number of employees to 500 in
its Alaska, Guam, South Korea and Japan
offices through 2010 and invest $3 million
over three years.
“This broad defense repositioning is
focused primarily on Guam and Korea,”
Jones said.
In Korea, U.S. bases are moving south of
the Han River —- away from the demilitarized zone — while the U.S. military makes
plans to turn over most of its operations
to Korean forces.
The change marks the end of the U.S.South Korean Combined Forces Command,
established 30 years ago.
To help seal the Korea transformation by
2012, Booz Allen plans to employ up to 150
consultants on the Korean peninsula.
Booz Allen also is helping the U.S. and
Japanese governments transfer 8,000 U.S.
Marines and their 10,000 dependents from
Okinawa to Guam over the next decade.
Part of the challenge on Guam is to build
new roads, schools and infrastructure for
the U.S. island territory.
Closer to home, Hawaii may be seeing
more activity.
Hawaii relocations possible
Jones said there is potential for soldier relocations to Hawaii as the Pentagon puts more
resources into the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai, the Pacific Warfighting Center
on Ford Island and other operations.
In addition to beefing up its Pacific Rim
presence, Booz Allen’s 200 employees in
Honolulu will continue their community
involvement, acting as liaisons between
the firm and nonprofit groups such as the
Hawaii Foodbank and Special Olympics.
Community service is encouraged worldwide among the Virginia-based firm’s 19,000
employees. The local office was a finalist
for PBN’s Business Leadership Hawaii
community spirit award in 2007.

New Hawaii company plans to

Two former college classmates have
co-founded Kai BioEnergy Corp. with
plans make biodiesel from microalgae
in Hawaii.
Frank Infelise and Mario Larach,
who attended the University of Chicago
Graduate School of Business, recently
registered the business with the state
Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
“We’re still in the process of seeking
funding, and our intent once we get that,
which is looking increasingly likely, is
to launch our development on the Big
Island,” Infelise told PBN.
Infelise, who is living in San Diego,

said the company is considering space
at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority in Kona.
Jaw-Kai Wang, a former professor of
aquaculture and bioengineering at the
University of Hawaii at Manoa, also is
involved with the new company.
Biodiesel, a cleaner-burning alternative to diesel fuel, can be made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Microalgae is
an attractive source for making biofuel
because of its rapid growth rate and
high oil production.
State calls lower HMSA payments
to rural pharmacies ‘reasonable’
A year-long fight between 18 rural
Neighbor Island pharmacies and
Hawaii’s largest health insurer over
prescription reimbursements may be
nearing an end as the state’s Insurance
Division leans in favor of the Hawaii
Medical Service Association.
The rural pharmacies, led by the nonprofit Hawaii Coalition for Health, took
their complaint to the state, asking for
administrative hearings to determine
whether HMSA unfairly squeezed them
by offering contracts with better reimbursements to larger drug store chains.
HMSA officials insisted they make the
same offers to all pharmacies.
Hearings officer Tom Pico of the state
Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs’ Insurance Division recommended that the complaint be dropped
saying HMSA made a “reasonable business decision” to reduce the reimbursements to the rural pharmacies.
Hawaii Coalition for Health attorney
Rafael del Castillo told PBN he was disappointed with the decision and fully
intends to write an official opposition
to it, which he has 15 days to do. After
that, state Insurance Commissioner
J.P. Schmidt will consider it and make
a final decision that could either force
HMSA to re-evaluate its policies on
pharmacy agreements or validate its
policies as fair.

Outrigger chain looks ahead to the next 60 years
Tourism
BY CHAD BLAIR
PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS
Call it Outrigger 2.0.
Founded in 1947, Outrigger Enterprises
Group is beefing up its online presence
to make sure it stays in business another
60 years.
Last week, the Hawaii hotel chain brought
together industry executives, marketing
minds and Web experts from Bangkok to
Washington, D.C., to share ideas and hammer out strategies at the Keauhou Beach
Resort on the Big Island.
“It’s a big, competitive
world out there, and in the
scheme of things we are a
relatively small company
compared to giants like InterContinental and Marriott
and Hyatt,” said Rob Solomon, chief marketing officer
Solomon
for Outrigger. “We have to
work harder. But we do have
a few things going for us.”
The main thing Outrigger has going for
it, said Solomon, is brand credibility. Its
consumer-tested slogan is “Outrigger hospitality, always a warm island welcome.”
But Outrigger today is a multibrand
line of hotels, condos and vacation resort
properties that operates or has under development or renovation 47 properties with
nearly 12,000 rooms in Hawaii, Guam, Fiji,
Indonesia, Thailand and Australia.
Across thousands of miles, the message
can get muddled. Outrigger’s challenge is
to promote a unified theme for all properties, selling the company as a reliable
island getaway.
To do that, the company believes it needs
to have its partners reading from the same
script and to be intimately familiar with
the product.
A recent example: Outrigger brought
representatives of the brand, design and
communications company Opus Creative
Group of Portland, Ore., to Hawaii for 12
days to shoot high-quality, candid video to
post on Outriggerhawaii.com.
“They talked to real customers, real
guests, people traveling around the island,
cultural practitioners, people who deliver
hospitality,” Solomon said. “The idea was
to get visitors to our Web site eyeball-toeyeball with Outrigger to give them a

first-person sense of excitement. You can’t
do that with an art director or copy writer
who never leave the office.”
Outrigger’s integrated marketing has
other components as well.
TIG Global, a Washington, D.C.-based
provider of interactive hospitality sales and
marketing services for the travel industry,
has been under contract with Outrigger the
past three years to go after potential guests.
If a consumer puts the words “Hawaii” and
“hotels” into the search engine Google,
links to Outrigger will appear.
A key component of online
marketing is through what’s
called Web 2.0, described as
“the second coming of the
Internet.”
“It’s the shift to usergenerated content, where
people are sharing travel information, experiences and
Malek
memories,” said Frederic
Malek, CEO and cofounder of TIG Global.
“From a marketing standpoint, this is a
viral marketing opportunity.”
Examples
include
posti n g s o n Yo u T u b e a n d M y
Space and comments on sites such as Trip
Advisor.com.
Dave Erdman, CEO and founder of PacRim Marketing, has assisted Outrigger with
media events and promotion in Japan.
“As we move into Web 2.0, which is how
we can communicate better with bloggers
— or digital influencers, as we call them —
we are truly integrating our e-marketing
efforts into our overall efforts in Japan
and Asia.”
Erdman also represents PacRim Tokyo
Co. and PR Tech, a sister company in Honolulu. Its initiatives for Outrigger include a
multilingual reservation system.
“You can literally be sitting in Chiba,
Japan, looking for information about
Hawaii hotels, and the language will be
in Japanese,” Erdman said. “Breaking
down the language barrier is critical to
controlling the message. We are not losing
something in translation through people
who don’t work for us.”
Outrigger’s emphasis on online marketing does not come at the expense of
traditional approaches.
Peter Yesawich, CEO of YPartnership,
the largest independent advertising agency
in Florida, represents Outrigger in North
America, Central America, the Caribbean
and Europe.
Yesawich played a central role in helping
to differentiate the Outrigger brand into
two distinct segments: the upscale Outrigger Hotels & Resorts and the midpriced
Ohana Hotels & Resorts.

n Outrigger Panorama Bali Resort & Spa
(opening 2010)
n West Sands Outrigger Resort, Phuket

SoUrCE: oUtrIggEr ENtErPrISES groUP
“That strategic decision
has proved right on,” he
said. “Outrigger was now
liberated and positioned to
grow.”
Yesawich calls the strategy “brand clarity,” meaning
what the brand stands for in
Yesawich
the eyes of consumers.
“When you think of Hilton
or Marriott, you think of Hilton HHonors
and Marriott Rewards,” he said. “Outrigger does not have such a program, so how
can a small brand with a limited portfolio
stuck in the middle of the Pacific compete
with these big gorillas? The answer depends on brand clarity.”
Joseph Toy, president of Hospitality
Advisors, said Outrigger has “perhaps
the most strategic thinkers in the hotel
industry in Hawaii. Given that they are
also a Hawaii-based, family-owned business with deep roots, they are exceptional
stewards of their properties. I have dealt
with hotel owners and investors worldwide,
and I would match [Outrigger’s] talents
with any of those in Asia.”
Symphony forms two businesses to create new revenue streams
NoNprofiTs
BY CHAD BLAIR
PACIFIC BUSINESS NEWS
Almost $2 million in debt, the Honolulu
Symphony is going into business.
Executive Director Tom Gulick filed
papers with the state on April 24 to launch
two limited liability companies:
n Honolulu Symphony Investors is to
provide a new source of revenue for the
83-member symphony.
n Honolulu Symphony Productions will allow the symphony to make and sell CD recordings, DVDs and other licensed materials. It
includes a documentary, currently in production, of symphony musicians working with
Neighbor Island students and teachers.
Gulick cautioned that the LLCs were
in a very early stage of development and
still require state approval for Act 221 tax
credits.
The new companies won’t solve all of the
symphony’s problems, either. But Gulick
said action was needed.
“It’s a way for investors to come on board
and support us, and to create jobs and boost
revenues and visibility — nationally and
internationally,” he said.
He also said an announcement would be
made as early as next week about “a major donor stepping forward — very significant.”
The 108-year-old Honolulu Symphony,
described as the oldest American orchestra
west of the Rocky Mountains, has struggled
to meet payroll in recent months.
It lost revenue after getting bumped by a
production of “The Lion King” at the Blaisdell Concert Hall last fall. Gulick said the
symphony has firm dates for the 2008-2009
season “but nothing beyond that.”
Symphony officials also unsuccessfully
lobbied the state Legislature for more than
$800,000 this past session.
“There was no grants-in-aid money this
year,” Gulick said. “Nada.”

Number of April home, condo sales
reflects Hawaii’s slowing economy
real estate
pbn staff
Condominium prices soared on the Big
Island in April, thanks to some high-end
sales in South Kohala, where the median
price jumped to $915,900. Maui also saw a
big bump in condo prices, bolstered by 20
sales in Wailea, where the median price
in April was $2.66 million. Single-family
home prices were down in all four counties, especially on Maui and Kauai. And
the number of sales was down in every
category and in every county, further evidence of the state’s slowing economy. The
smaller number of sales on the Neighbor
Islands tends to create more dramatic
percentage changes than on Oahu.

Suzuki SX4 sedan stands tall in its field — literally
1/16h 1C
Suzuki introduced its SX4 hatchback/
wagon for the 2007 model year, notable for
its tall stance and standard all-wheel drive.
The 2008 model year brings a sedan
to the lineup, still tall in stature, but
minus the all-wheel drive — optional or
otherwise. As such, it faces some tough
competition. Many compact sedans are
available for $15,000 or less.
The SX4 sedan starts
at $15,395, including
destination charge, but

Powering the little sedan is a
143-horsepower 4-cylinder engine that
has some spunk when you tromp on the
gas initially, but disappointed us trying
to scoot ahead of cars on the freeway.
Standard fare is a five-speed manual
transmission that shifts easily. Moving
to the four-speed automatic adds $1,100
to the tab.
Gas mileage tops out at 22 city, 31 highway with the automatic — pretty mediocre. Toyota Yaris, for example, boasts up

Journey to Fitness takes unexpected turns
By Cathy Cruz-george
n 2000, Li Si Yang sat her
father down and told him
she didn’t want to inherit Cheung Fhot Grocery, the Asian
food store he opened in Kaneohe in 1996, a decade after moving his wife and two daughters
to Hawaii from Canton, China.
“He snapped,” said Yang, 31.
“He told me, ‘This store is for you.
It’s a back-up for your future.’ ”
Her parents barely spoke English 20 years ago. The store was
their American dream.
Feeling obligated, she promised
to help run the family business for
two more years, while working
other part-time jobs and attending
Windward Community College.
That conversation with her father eight years ago motivated
Yang to defy family expectations
and change her life.
She hired personal trainer and
Mr. Universe Chris Faildo, who
put her on a stringent diet and
urged her to enter bodybuilding
competitions. Fitness was foreign
to Yang, but she trained intensely
for months, eating high-protein,
low-fat foods such as broccoli and
boiled chicken breast to build
strength and decrease body fat.
“I was real disciplined eating,
even though I was gagging,” she
said.
To make meals tastier, Yang added new flavors that met the approval
of her trainer and industry colleagues. She placed in the Hawaii
Student Body and Designer Body
competitions at the end of 2001.
I
‘I’m good at thIs’
“It was the first time I said, ‘I like
this. I’m good at this,’ ” she said.
24 Fitness hired her the following year to train and coach clients
on exercise and healthy cooking.
Then, in 2002, she left the franchise to go solo, naming her new
company Journey To Fitness.
“It’s different when you created
the business and it wasn’t just handed to you by parents,” she said.
Yang, who had always worked
two jobs at a time since age 10,
had squirreled away $80,000 by
the time she was 23.
“My parents taught me how to
save money; I don’t buy Gucci bags
and brand-name clothing,” she
said, adding that she rarely ate out
and cooked her own meals.
Using her savings, Yang leased a
700-square-foot space in Kalihi for
$1,400 a month and added $20,000

balanced lives. She eliminated the
oatcakes part of the business but still
provides healthy recipes to clients.
The majority of Yang’s clients
are men and women between 30
and 50 who pay $60 per one-hour
session. Many of them are in the
so-called “sandwich generation,”
taking care of teenage children
and elderly parents.
Invaluable lessons

Li Si Yang works her triceps at her Journey To Fitness studio in Kilohana Square and runs on the
beach at Ala Moana Beach Park. Yang, far left, shows the body-building form that won her first
place in the Miss Aloha Muscle competition in 2003. Yang advises her clients to exercise, eat right

in kitchen and exercise equipment, $3,000 in shower fixtures
and a $5,000 air conditioner.
Personal and corporate clients, including Harry & Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation executives,
soon hired her to train and cook
healthy meals for them several
times a week.
At night, Yang prepared pre-ordered meals for clients and baked
and packaged protein oatcakes
under the label “Health Matters,”
which she sold for about $3 each
from ice-cooler boxes at local
farmers markets. Customers also
bought her oatcakes at Volcano
Joe’s, a coffee shop near the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and
at Planet Smoothie locations.
The demand for cakes kept her
in the kitchen every evening past
midnight, and she began crashing in her Kalihi office and living
there on a futon.
Yang soon bought a $2,000 wall
bed from Closet Systems and
moved in with goals to turn the
space into a “one-stop-shop” fitness studio, bakery, kitchen and
living quarters.
It didn’t pan out that way.
For the next three years, balancing her clients’ physical and nutritional needs with oatcake production became challenging. The moist
cakes had a shelf life of two weeks
and required refrigeration.
“They were too high-maintenance,” she said.
Yang also worried about her
safety.
“I was female and working
alone until 2 in the morning in
Kalihi,” she said.
A crack seed distributor agreed
to take over the Kalihi location
in the summer of 2007, and Yang
found on Craigslist a 650-squarefoot, second-floor space in Kapahulu for $1,600 a month. It was a
former Pilates studio with mirrored walls and a shower.
Yang sold $30,000 in equipment from the Kalihi location
that month and bought $11,000
in brand-new cardio and freeweights machines from Heavy
Metal Barbell Co.
Meantime, Yang’s parents retired and sold their Asian grocery
store in Kaneohe.
Today, nine months later, Yang
is back to her original business
plan from 2002, which is to inspire
people to exercise, eat right and live
Although Yang diverted from her
original business plan by expanding too fast in Kalihi, the lessons she
learned along the way are invaluable to her company’s mission.
“People in America are struggling with two things, weight loss
and debt,” she said. “They don’t
look at their credit-card statements and keep charging. Food is
the same way. People don’t keep
track of what they eat and put in
their mouth.”
She recently let go some clients
who never followed her instructions to eat right and do cardio
exercises at home.
“That was the biggest fight I had
with myself,” she said. “They’re
a reflection of my business. My
clients speak for my work.”
The loss meant less income.
To identify like-minded clients,
Yang enrolled in a 12-week course
that teaches entrepreneurs how to
network and partner with people
who share similar work ethic
and values.
As she expands her customer
base over the next few years, Yang
plans to invest her earnings to
develop a line of healthy meals
to be sold through grocery stores.
But this time, she will focus on
small areas at a time and vows not
to stretch herself so thin.

Great investment bargains shine
through all that doom and gloom
Wait — don’t run!
No doom and gloom in this column, I
promise. No crying, “risk!” No descriptions of half-empty investment glasses.
Nothing about anything rearing its ugly
head.
While the free cautionary advice over
the past year has been good, I know it
has been hard reading. Nobody likes
to hear that their hard-earned savings
have the potential to shrink.
But, you see, when you run money
and see the investment equivalent of a
freight train coming — the credit crisis
and its fallout — you can’t help but want
to tell people about it. So you tend to
hammer the point, again and again, hoping maybe people actually take a look at
exactly what is in their portfolios.
Instead of writing about what areas to
avoid or reduce exposure, I want to tell
you about the world’s best investment
bargains — great businesses.
There are roughly 10,000 companies
listed on U.S. exchanges and many
thousands more on foreign exchanges.
Unfortunately, most stocks offer lousy investments in companies that face tough
competition, offer fleeting products and
services and have shaky finances. (You
wouldn’t know this reading their annual
reports and press releases; all sell promising stories.) Virtually all stocks require
of its owners a great deal of speculation.
Of the thousands of companies in
which we can choose to invest, there are
realistically only a handful of truly great
companies. For lack of imagination, I
call them the great businesses, the companies that represent the furthest thing
from blind speculation that one can get
in the uncertain world of investments.

they don’t have to borrow to operate or

Lastly, great businesses have strong
and honest management. Too many
companies, including those that would
otherwise be great, are tarnished by
poor corporate governance and perverse
financial incentives for managements
that reward regardless of the effect on
shareholder value.
The criteria for greatness are simple
enough, but if you think hard about it,
the list of companies fitting this description is relatively small. It’s also not necessarily a “buy” list for your portfolio —
you have to consider price. What should
be on your buy list are great businesses
that sell at sensible, preferably cheap,
prices. They almost never do — and why
should they with such great qualities?
However, after years of being overlooked by investors favoring other investment types such as real estate, commodities and cyclical and deep-value
companies, many great businesses now
sell at bargains.
With the world still enamored in
yesteryear’s winners, it’s time to start
building positions in perhaps the
world’s best, and most overlooked, investment deals.

Verna podlewski
Verna Nalani Podlewski has been promoted to community relations manager
at Maui Land & Pineapple Co. Inc.
Podlewski, 41, who joined the company in 2002, will oversee its community
relations efforts and its new community
investment program, in addition to her
previous duties as community liaison
and coordinator. She also serves as a Hawaiian language and cultural adviser to
the company.
Podlewski, who was born in Honolulu and graduated from Kamehameha
Schools, recently enrolled in Maui
Community College with a focus on Hawaiian studies. She noted that with the
availability of online courses, working
full-time, raising a family and returning
to college are now achievable.
why i took this job: This job allows me
to be who I am. I can participate in our
Maui community programs and events
and see first hand how ML&P can make
a difference, both big and small.
like most about the job: I enjoy every
minute that I am blessed in the presence
of our kupuna. They continue to share a
great wealth of knowledge that is priceless. But it’s their gentleness and beautiful smiles that I treasure most.
like least about the job: People who
openly complain about an issue without

ML&P has expanded and diversified,
and our operations now include agriculture, tourism, development, recreation,
conservation and education. I think our
biggest challenge is that we need to be
successful and competitive in more than
one industry.
Biggest risk taken in my career: Five
years ago, accepting a job at Maui Land
& Pine was a big hurdle. I struggled for
weeks, recalling the company’s turbulent history in the late ’80s with the construction of The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua
and controversy sparked with the unearthing of burials at Honokahua. Now
I’ve come to know that I have kuleana,
or responsibility, to help ML&P continue
to educate our employees and guests
about Honokahua. It is imperative that
next generations know the story of our

most overlooked secret to success: In
my mind, there are no secrets. Success is

most important mentor: My Hawaiian language teacher at Kamehameha
Schools, Kumu Sara Keahi. Her graceful
style of teaching instilled in me a love
for the Hawaiian language. Through her
gentle voice, I understood how much
more beautiful words and thoughts
could be expressed when spoken in Hawaiian.
Favorite way to spend free time: Any
free time is freely given and quickly
absorbed in halau life. For the past five
years, I’ve been a student of Kumu Kaponoai Molitau and Kumu Sissy LakeFarm studying hula and oli (chant).

unwind our complex and poetic Hawaiian language.

Few private schools use revenue-bond Financing
loans at about 25 percent below
commercial rates.
Chaminade University used
$9.8 million issued in 2006 to pay
off construction loans and was
able to save $350,000 a year in
interest charges.
“That financing method saved
us,” said Dan Gilmore, Chaminade’s vice president of finance
and facilities. “With the interest
fixed over 30 years, we’re paying
the lower rates and will continue
to through the life of the loan.”
Chaminade had used the funds
to renovate its science laboratories and student dorms and
for part of its new $14.8 million library, which opened last
month.
By NaNea KalaNi
state program intended
to help fund construction
projects at Hawaii’s private
schools is going largely unused,
with only a fifth of the approved
schools tapping the financing in
the past six years.
Only four of 20 private schools
authorized by the state to issue
special-purpose revenue bonds
have actually used the money for
their campuses.
The program, which has been
available to private schools since
2002, allows them to tap into lowinterest loans through tax-exempt
bonds sold by the state. Unlike
general obligation bonds, which
are supported by taxpayers, the
borrowers of special-purpose
bonds are responsible for repaying the debt.
Several schools that have yet to
use the financing say the bonds
are acting somewhat like insurance — they’re happy they are
there in case they need them.
A
FivE-yEar timE limit
Once a school gets legislative
approval it has five years to pursue the financing.
Iolani School in Honolulu will
allow its bond approval for up to
$30 million to expire next year,
said Finance Director Glenn
Ching.
“We got it approved through
the Legislature, but we didn’t
go through the entire process,”
Ching said. “By the time the bonds
became available, we were pretty
much done with our project.”
Iolani completed renovations,
a new classroom building and
a parking structure in summer
2003.
Once the Legislature authorizes the bonds, the schools must
apply to the state Department
of Budget and Finance, which
determines whether they can
repay the bond debt.
The Budget Department then
selects an underwriter and the
state Attorney General’s Office
appoints a bond counsel. The
schools need a letter of credit or
bond rating from a bond insurance company in order to float
the bonds.
The 16 schools with unissued
bonds, totaling almost $250 million, have not applied to the Budget Department, said Scott Kami,
an administrator in the financial
administration division.
“Until they apply with us, the

bonds can’t be issued,” Kami
said. “Sometimes they decide
they don’t need it anymore, and
there’s no penalty if they don’t
use it.”
Sacred Hearts Academy in
Kaimuki, for example, which was
approved for a bond of up to $10
million last year, hasn’t decided
if it will use the funding. It had
planned to use money from the
sale of the bond to help pay for
a new performing arts center,
but was able to raise the money
through fundraising.
Sacred Hearts started building the 19,000-square-foot facility
last summer and expects it to be
completed this fall.
Bonds as a Backup
“We’re trying to hold off on the
bonds as much as we can unless
we have to go into it,” said Celeste
O’Brien, the school’s development
officer. “We pursued it so that we
wouldn’t be left in a bind, and at
that time we weren’t sure how
much our capital campaign would
raise. We’re grateful that we have
it as a backup.”
O’Brien said the school may
turn to the bond for its planned
$6.5 million student center, which
will replace the campus’s almost50-year-old cafeteria and include
open-air meeting spaces.

Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei used bond financing to pay
off commercial loans it took out
to build its 3-acre campus, which
opened in 2004. The school was
approved for up to $20 million in
2004, which it closed on in October 2007.
“It did a lot for us because our
bank loans were only fixed for five
years, so we were approaching the
point where it would have been
adjusted, and given the current
financial market, it would have
gone up,” said Stuart Hirstein, the
school’s chief operating officer
and associate headmaster. “It’s
added to the financial stability
of the school.”
Island Pacific Academy was
again approved this legislative
session for up to $30 million.
Hirstein said the school will
use the financing to repay about
$7 million left on its commercial
loan. The rest will help pay for a
parking structure, athletic facility and performing arts center.
The school also has launched a
capital campaign and applied for
grants to help cover the cost.
Maui Preparatory Academy
also was approved this year for
up to $25 million.
The state also makes specialpurpose revenue bonds available
to private entities that have a
public purpose, including healthcare facilities run by nonprofits,
preschools and low-income government housing projects.
The bond program was
launched after voters amended
the state Constitution in 2002 to
allow private schools to use the
bonds.

Public schools move cautiously to
replace letter-grade report cards
By NaNea KalaNi
A plan to replace traditional letter-grade
report cards in Hawaii’s intermediate and
high schools has been pushed back a few
years as public education officials work
to perfect a new system.
That grading system — which has been in
place in Hawaii’s public elementary schools
for the past two years — focuses on a student’s ability to meet the state Department
of Education’s learning standards rather
than a passing or failing letter grade.
The D.O.E. had planned to roll out the
new report cards in all public secondary
schools last year. But the target has been
pushed back, first to 2009, then to 2012.
The current plan is to implement the
cards first in the state’s 45 middle schools
within a year. No schedule has been set for
the state’s 48 high schools.
no more letter grades
The delay centers mostly around complications with replacing A-B-C-D-F grades
with such terms as “meets with excellence”, “approaches proficiency” and “well
below proficiency.”
Some elementary school teachers also
complain that the new process consumes
more of their time.
Changing over to the grading system in
use at the elementary schools essentially
would mean the loss of a grade point average
for high-school students. Those averages are
commonly used as an admissions criteria
by universities and colleges. They also are
used in determining valedictorians.
“Where we’re at with this system now,
yes, the loss of high schoolers’ GPAs poses
a problem,” said Daniel Hamada, assistant
superintendent for curriculum, instruction and student support. “That’s one of
the reasons we really want to solidify this
in the middle schools first.”
Hamada said the D.O.E. will begin meeting with intermediate-school teachers,
principals, parents and students this year
to create a new report card template.
“No matter what grade you’re in, there
are clear skills or benchmarks you should
know,” he said. “Standards-based grading is more tightly aligned to reflect that.
Instead of averaging the child’s work,
standards-based reporting acknowledges
where a student is at any given point.”
For example, under the traditional letter
grade system, a student may earn a B grade
in science for a combination of class work,
homework assignments and projects. Under
standards-based grading, the student may
receive an MP grade (“meets with proficiency”) in science for his ability to meet such
standards as understanding the scientific
process and environmental sciences.
The D.O.E. says the new system is transparent in that report cards won’t be a
“mystery” to students and parents.
“The new report card has to be a communication tool between a teacher and
student that makes sense,” Hamada said.
“It’s not supposed to be a guessing game
where the child wonders why they got a
B or C.”
more time consuming
Meanwhile, elementary school teachers
want the Hawaii State Teachers Association to ask the D.O.E. for additional time to
complete the report cards. The cards in use at
Hawaii’s public elementary schools are five
pages long and given out four times a year.
“Teachers are saying the report cards
consume a lot of time, but at the same time,
parents and students are getting a better
picture of how the student is progressing,”
said Roger Takabayashi, president of the
Hawaii State Teachers Association.
Takabayashi said the union will ask
the D.O.E. for a 10-day window. Currently,
teachers have a maximum of seven days
to submit the reports.

Biosafety lab survives legislative
cuts, on track for 2011 opening
By NaNea KalaNi
A biosafety laboratory has survived the
recent legislative session that saw funding for capital projects at the University
of Hawaii at Manoa fall far short of what
UH requested.
That puts the Pacific Regional Biosafety
Laboratory on track to open in 2011 at
the John A. Burns School of Medicine
in Kakaako, a year later than originally
planned.
The cost to build it, initially set at $37.5
million in 2005, shot up to $47.5 million,
requiring the school to ask for an additional
$2.5 million from the state this year.
That money was matched by the National
Institutes of Health, which is funding a series of biosafety labs across the country.
The lab, which will house researchers
who will study infectious diseases threatening Hawaii and the Pacific, will be owned
and operated by the medical school.
The money for the project was based on
locating the facility on Waimano Ridge,
above Pearl City. In summer 2006, NIH approved relocating it to the Kakaako campus
at the university’s request.
“Since the site change, we lost a lot of
time without additional money,” said Keith
Mattson, the lab’s project manager. “With
construction costs increasing over those
years in Hawaii, our purchasing power
was really reduced.”
As a result, UH said it has had to scale
back the size of the building.
The lab originally was planned to be a
three-story, 38,400-square-foot facility.
“We’re now looking at a two-level structure with a little bit of existing space in our
medical school being repurposed for administration for the lab,” Mattson said, estimating a downsized 28,000 square feet.
He said an environmental impact assessment is in progress and that the school
plans to start construction in fall 2009,
with operations beginning in 2011.
An architectural firm and construction
companies have yet to be selected.
“We’re back to the hard work of designing the facility,” Mattson said.
He said the laboratory will operate
largely on research grants for work done
in the lab.
“We’re also hoping to enable privatesector research at the lab,” he said. “For
example, local firms like Hawaii Biotech
could contract us to perform research in
our facility.”
Local health officials say the biosafety lab
will be a key part of the state’s public health
network. It also will benefit the university
through biotech jobs, creating about 40
positions for researchers and staff.

being private, options may seem limitless
when deciding on a nonpublic education
provider.
But experts say selecting a private school
can be a rewarding experience only if the
process starts early.
Honolulu author Jacqui Pirl advises
parents to first identify their child’s needs
and then match them with an appropriate school.
Pirl’s book, “The Parents’ Guide to Private Schools in Hawaii — Oahu”, is a schoolby-school guide to 71 of Oahu’s private
schools. Its mission is to help parents find
the right private school for their child.
Parents of the nearly 40,000 students who
attend the 137 private schools across the
state have gone through the same process,
considering a wide range of options.
Begin on the WeB
The Hawaii Association of Independent
Schools’ Web site, www.hais.org, is a good
place to start the selection process, Pirl
said. The site includes a comprehensive
search feature that allows users to find
private schools by location, religious affiliation, specialized sports programs and
other specialty programs such as foreign

tips for selecting a private school
n Start the search early, allowing enough time
to thoroughly research all options.
n Begin with a broad search, then narrow it
down to a handful of schools.
n Visit potential
schools to get a feel
for each
campus.
n Talk to current parents and
students to get an
objective opinion of a
school.
languages and study-abroad programs.
A close look at a school’s statements
of its mission and philosophy — easily
found on its Web site — can reveal a lot
about a school.
While virtually all private schools will
list academic excellence as a priority, some
may mention features that specifically
interest your child, such as a culturally
diverse student body or upholding religious principles.
Finding out if a school is accredited is
another important factor, Pirl said.
Accreditation is a measure of quality

rule out a
school based
only on cost
from PAGE 26
because it involves a rigorous
review process to determine if
a school is fulfilling its mission.
If a school is not accredited, parents should inquire if an accreditation plan is under way.
While the cost of tuition
should play a part in the decision, parents should not be too
quick to rule out schools that
may seem to be too expensive.
Most schools offer scholarships
and loans to help with tuition.
Other important information
to consider: size of a school’s student body and faculty, whether
it is single-sex or coeducational,
whether it’s a day or boarding
school, faculty credentials and
campus amenities.
Experts recommend that parents involve their children in the
entire selection process.
Once a list of potential schools
has been narrowed down, parents
should make it a point to visit each
of the campuses. A school may
seem a certain way in writing,
but a visit to the campus can help
parents get a first-hand glimpse of
the way a school is run.
Private schools generally host
open houses in the fall.
Visit a class
Parents should sit in on a class
with their child, if possible, and
observe how instruction is delivered. Features to look for include
whether the instructor has open
discussions with students, if
hands-on activities are provided,
and what a typical homework
load might involve.
Also, during campus visits,
parents should take the time to
talk with administrators.
Parents also should ask for
data that reflect a school’s academic success, such as SAT and
ACT scores. Schools also should
have available their graduation
and college acceptance rates.
Parents are encouraged to
talk to other parents who have
selected private education for
their children. This can help
parents get an objective opinion
of a school.
In addition, school administrators can provide prospective
parents and students with contact names.

Or developers can’t find the financing to
get started.
“There was a dramatic rise in unemployment just caused by the financial institutions,” Taketa said. “Within a three-month
period the unemployment just skyrocketed
because of the subprime problem.”
Although a number of government and
military projects on Oahu are helping
to keep the construction business fairly
healthy in the current economic downturn,
a slowing in the residential home-building
business has cost many carpenters jobs.
Sales have slowed and some projects
have been delayed or scaled back. And one
large residential project, Castle & Cooke’s
Mililani Mauka, will be completed this
summer, with no other new developments
ready to be built.
“It’s just kind of across the board cooling
or leveling off, which is not entirely unexpected coming off the boom years,” said
Kyle Chock, executive director of the Pacific
Resource Partnership, a joint program of
the Hawaii Carpenters Union and some 200
unionized contractors across the state.
The Carpenters Union membership hit a
high of 10,000 before the Japanese bubble
of the early 1990s. By 2000, membership
had fallen to about 4,000.
Union membership has increased to
7,800 today, Taketa noted.
But only a little more than 6,000 are
working.
“We’re the first to be laid off and the last
to be brought on to a project,” Taketa said.
“That’s the unfairness of it all … we get
laid off first and recalled last.”
The economy isn’t entirely to blame for
the slowdown. Building permit delays and
county ordinances for affordable housing
requirements and water usage have slowed
some projects down.
Stanford Carr recently received the
building permits for his company to begin
a Neighbor Island project, but he said he’s
holding off on construction.
“There isn’t a demand,” said Carr, president of Honolulu-based Stanford Carr
Development. “Everyone is very hesitant
and uncertain about the future. I think
everyone is kind of wait-and-see.”
Several large residential projects are
planned for Central and West Oahu — including D.R. Horton-Schuler Division’s Hooipili
and Waiawa, a joint venture between Alexander & Baldwin and Gentry — but those won’t
get off the ground for several more years.
D.R. Horton’s Schuler Division hasn’t
seen much of a change in demand in the
past four or five months, said division
President Mike Jones.
The developer has two projects on Oahu under construction — Sea CountryNohokai in Waianae and Kahiwelo at
Makakilo — and one, Nanala at Mehana in
Kapolei, where work hasn’t yet begun.
“We’re patiently waiting for permits
so that we can get started down there,”
Jones said.

dent John Reed, stepped down.
John Scott, a former Hilo Hattie executive, is now president of the company.
Mark Storfer, the former chief operating
officer of Liberty House and a commercial
real estate broker, is serving as interim
secretary and treasurer until after the
sale closes and Nelson is able to appoint
a chief financial officer.
Scott will run the merchandising side
of the business, Nelson said, adding that
a group of local vendors is interested in
helping the company with its direction.
“Ted has very clear plans for where he
wants to take Hilo Hattie,” said Storfer, who
also is director of commercial real estate at
Choi International, a position he will keep
during the Hilo Hattie transition.
Although he is optimistic about Hawaii for
the long haul, Nelson said the recent changes
in the local economy will make the challenges
faced by him and his partners, whom he
declined to name, more difficult.
“We will need support from local banks,”
he said. “Their view of the changes in the
economy may affect their willingness
to be supportive of what we want to accomplish.”
Annual sales of the privately held company were estimated by PBN at about $30
million in 2006 and at the time the company
employed about 400 people. A spokesman
would not give a current employment figure but said it was between 200 and 300.
There are no immediate plans to change
store operations, product mix or number
of employees.
“But of course we have to manage the
business in a commercially viable way,
so we’ve got to keep track of what type of
tourist traffic is coming through our stores,
and sales, and run our business accordingly,” Nelson said. “We’re hoping as the
tourist traffic drops off, if it drops off as
predicted, we’re hoping we can encourage
more locals to shop at our stores.”
Nelson does plan to refresh the Hilo Hattie brand and said he will move ahead with
plans for a new flagship store in the Royal
Hawaiian Center, which the company had
originally planned to open last year.
“That’s probably the biggest and most
exciting opportunity that we could have
and we want to position ourselves to be
able to execute that opportunity,” he said
of the new store.
Hilo Hattie has seven stores, including five in Hawaii and two in Southern
California. The company closed its store
in Orlando, Fla., last year, while a store in
Las Vegas closed early this year.
Storfer said he agreed to work with the
buyers after getting a call from Nelson, a
longtime friend.
Storfer, who also has a management
consulting business, came to Hawaii in 1994
to work for Liberty House and stayed until
Federated Department Stores bought it in
2001 and converted the stores to Macy’s.
Romig said that while he had been looking to sell the company, the offer from Nelson and his partners came as a surprise.
“I think they’re wonderful buyers and
they’re going to do a great job,” he said.
Nelson said he became interested after
being contacted by an associate.
“I’m a deal-transaction-oriented businessperson and when I see an opportunity
to put the right elements together in a deal,
I’m challenged and invigorated and excited
and that’s what I saw here,” he said.
Nelson said there are several local businesspeople — whom he declined to name
— who have ideas for the company and who
“can lend their expertise and services and
work in strategic ways to help the company
succeed. It appears we’re going to have
some very good relationships.”

“Business is booming,” said Nenezich.
“Private jets are the wave of the future because there’s no hassle. I picked up one guy
who came to Honolulu for just six hours to
attend a meeting. I told my wife Rosie, ‘Amazing! You’d think they’d make time to go to
the beach!’ But that’s their business.”
Stone formed Resort Air in September 2005
and since then the airline has carried mostly
resort executives, developers, investors and
their guests for business meetings.
Now the airline is promoting the service more widely, to local and Mainland
business travelers and especially leisure
travelers who want to travel discretely and
comfortably to Hawaii’s large commercial
airports as well as to smaller airstrips.
Those smaller airports include Hana
on Maui, the Big Island’s Waimea-Kohala
Airport, and on Lanai, each located near
world-class resorts.
Resort Air isn’t for the economy-minded
traveler. Charging $3,000 an hour for a
minimum two hours per 24-hour period
(the price does not include limo service but
does cover most fees), it’s the anti-go!
But as air travel continues to rise in
cost and decline in service, private jets
offering on-demand service are growing
in appeal.
“Once word gets out, this is going to take
off,” said John Toner, The Resort Group’s
executive vice president. “Hawaii is so
small. Everyone’s going to know.”
Toner said this as the Citation II gained
altitude after leaving Honolulu International Airport. It is a very fast jet — it took
less than 30 minutes to reach Princeville
— with steep takeoffs and landings.
“It’s very maneuverable, almost like a
fighter,” said Chris Ferrara, a pilot and
director of Resort Air’s operations.
Cruising at 340 knots (390 miles per
hour), Toner knocked on the jet’s faux wood
paneling for good luck. The action was
quickly repeated by Ferrara, suggesting
like-minded thinking and camaraderie.
The two men and Pettersson all wore
Maui Jim sunglasses, polarized, polycarbonate lenses that average several hundred
dollars in price.
Sitting comfortably in the Citation’s
stuffed leather seats, they resembled the
corporate magnates, rock stars and marquee athletes who prefer private jets.
Resort Air operates out of a private hangar off Lagoon Drive, an expansive stretch
of concrete and asphalt where FedEx, UPS,
AirMed Hawaii and other small carriers
are housed opposite the big terminals of
the Honolulu airport.
Toner said he did not know how much The
Resort Group has invested in Resort Air, and
he noted there are no outside investors.
“We’ve never calculated it,” he said, frequently glancing at his ever-present BlackBerry. “But there is such a pent-up demand
for this service in Hawaii. I hear that from
tinA yuEn pbn
guys on the Mainland all the time.”
(Here’s another private jet perk: You can
operate electronic devices at any time on
the Citation II.)
The idea to start a private airline was
Stone’s. He met Ferrara in 2005 when he
bought the Princeville Resort.
Ferrara said the Citation II, which has
been retrofitted for Hawaii service, costs
$3 million. They have a business plan and
a marketing strategy, too, although they
declined to share it.
But Resort Air does receive referrals from
Air Service Hawaii and Bradley Pacific
Aviation, the state’s top airline charter
service operators. Referrals also come from
Massachusetts-based Air Charter Guide, a
leading online information source for the
charter industry.
Resort Air currently flies two to three
flights a week between Honolulu and
Princeville. It could not operate a commercial service until August 2007, when it
met the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Part 135 aviation regulations.
The airline also is a member of the National
Business Aviation Association, which promotes operation excellence and security.
Resort Air hopes to achieve profitability within a year or two and company
executives believe the big draw may be its
island-hopping capability.
Unlike many charter operations, Resort
Air passengers have a lot of say in where
they go. It could range from an excursion
along Kauai’s Na Pali Coast to circling the
entire state in a day.
For now, Kauai is Resort Air’s target destination, primarily because the Princeville Airport is privately owned by The Resort Group.
It’s only minutes away from the Princeville
Resort (soon to receive a $60 million renovation and rebranding as Hawaii’s only St. Regis
hotel and resort), the Westin Princeville
Ocean Resort Villas and a Robert Trent Jones
Jr. golf course. Sipping Arnold Palmers —
lemonade and iced tea — at the Princeville
Resort’s Cafe Hanalei that afternoon, Toner
told stories how Japanese tourists used to fly
over just for the day to play golf.
Resort Air is looking to add a second
plane by Christmas.
Chauffeur Nenezich was waiting for
Resort Air as it returned to Honolulu. This
time he was driving a 1964 Rolls-Royce
Silver Cloud III, a $100,000 vehicle.
Employees with public relations firm
Sheila Donnelly & Associates rolled out a
red carpet — an actual red carpet — and
PBN’s reporter and photographer entered
the Rolls. Nenezich handed them each a
chilled bottle of Perrier.
“We’re the only [limousine] company
with a Rolls-Royce,” explained Nenezich
as he drove back to Waikiki. “Oh, people
love this car!”

May 16, 2008
Sustainability plan needs sustenance
ack in January, political leaders
in Hawaii were bowing at the altar of sustainability.
Just about every speech on
opening day referred to sustainability.
The president of the Senate noted an
earlier promise to make it that body’s
“overarching theme.” The speaker of
the House, who referred to sustainability five times, said the efforts “will truly
help Hawaii take charge of its destiny.”
New session, same results: Sustainability, at least in terms of officially
adopting the “Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan,” is not a legislative priority.
Since 2005, there have been assorted
attempts to prepare and adopt a sustainability plan that would replace the state
plan written in 1978 during the Ariyoshi
administration. It makes sense to us that
a new document should guide us toward
a viable future, especially now that living “green” is a hot concept.
But like a lot of things in Hawaii,
there are many roadblocks and detours
along the highway of good intentions.
In the last three years, Gov. Linda Lingle
and legislators have sparred over the need
M
OpiniOn
for a sustainability plan, who should administer it and how much it should cost.
Since 2005, the Senate has been shepherding the planning, which would be administered through the state auditor. The
auditor reports directly to the Legislature.
After 2010, according to the original
bill, responsibility would shift to the state
Office of Planning, part of the administration. Coincidentally, that just happens
to be the year that Lingle is out the door.
Then there is the conflict with the
gung-ho Senate, led by Sen. Russell
Kokubun, chairman of a 24-member
task force that developed the plan submitted in February. The task force says
it has prepared “the People’s Plan”
because it has received more than 10,000
responses through its public meetings
and other sources.
All of that didn’t excite the House
Finance Committee led by Rep. Marcus
Oshiro. In April, the committee decided
that the sustainability plan lacked necessary data, sources and benchmarks to
back up its major goals. It was a direct
shot at the Hawaii Institute for Public Affairs, which prepared much of the plan.
So, with agreement of a reluctant Senate, the sustainability plan has been referred to the College of Social Sciences
Public Policy Center at the University of
Hawaii. They now have two more years
to come up with something acceptable.
Lingle has been dismissive of the sustainability plan and twice vetoed bills
that set a course for the plan. The vetoes
were subsequently overridden, underscoring the divide between the governor
and the Legislature on the topic.
Lingle believes having the auditor responsible for the plan is a direct attempt to
bypass the state planning office and thus
the executive branch. She’s also indicated
that the sustainability plan takes too long
to implement and that there are many issues that need to be addressed right now.
At this rate, it’s going to be 2050 before
we adopt a plan figuring out how to get
there.
The Hawaii Institute for Public Affairs has been paid about $1.2 million
over the last two years to gather information, coordinate input and write
much of the sustainability plan. It’s
worth checking out at www.hawaii2050.
org, especially the section on “priority
actions and intermediate steps.”
It’s basically a solid document but
heavy on background and parts of the
plan do tend to mirror the format and
recommendations of HIPA’s own periodic “new economy” reports. Still, if
Oshiro and his House colleagues want
something with more specifics, they
ought to do it faster than banishing the
project to the university for two years.
We’re seeing a pattern: Politicians
love to talk about sustainability but they
are coming up with a lot of excuses to
avoid dealing with it.
We like the idea of a state plan, but
there hasn’t been a lot of meaningful
response either to the new one or the one
adopted 30 years ago. A portion of the latest sustainability plan ponders that issue:
“Without a mechanism for accountability,
Hawaii 2050 might answer to no one.”
A poll conducted in January found
people in Hawaii remarkably pessimistic about the future. If our political leaders can’t even agree on how to plan for
the future, there isn’t much hope for a
brighter tomorrow.

Rail is no friend to business
I have been following the mayor’s transit program for two years. Unfortunately,
rail will be very expensive in Hawaii
with no reduction in traffic congestion.
I’ve noticed that your paper has
stayed out of the conversation concerning rail.
So, here’s a business angle that has
not been in the papers or discussed at
the City Council.
Business vehicles (vans, trucks,
business cars, etc.) are wasting thousands of hours in our current overloaded traffic situation. The mayor’s
alternatives analysis tells us that
the hours lost (wasted) in traffic will
grow much higher with rail.
Businesses will suffer. Rail is no

Bullies can destroy your company’s culture
W
orkplace bullies can ruin a culture,
destroy productivity and make
your life — and those of everyone
else they target — miserable.
And it’s not just bullying bosses who are
the problem. Co-workers and employees also
use bullying behavior that creates a hostile
workplace.
Excluding lethal weapons, here are the
top dozen techniques bullies use to ruin a
workplace.
n Yelling, physical threats (overt or veiled)
and throwing things. This in-your-face method makes targets think actual physical attacks will follow.
n Verbal abuse, emotional intimidation
and personal insults in private and in public.
This includes put-downs and humiliating,
demeaning, rude, cruel, insulting, mocking
and embarrassing comments.
n Harassment based on race, religion, gender and physical attributes. Sexual contact,
lewd suggestions, name-calling, teasing and
overtly nasty personal jokes. Stealthy bullies
often follow their put-downs or threats by
laughing and saying “I was just kidding” to
make it hard for their targets to fight back.
n Backstabbing, spreading rumors and
gossip, manipulating, lying, distorting, hypocrisy and exposing your personal problems
and performance mistakes. Making false
accusations, especially outrageous ones.
Repeated character assassination is another
favorite technique.
n Taking the credit for the work of others.
Never accepting blame, but instead spreading
the blame to blameless employees. Withholding information and then cutting targets down
for not knowing or for failing in a task because
they didn’t know the crucial
information.
n Anonymous attacks and
cyber-bullying — flaming emails, personal innuendos
and threats, and porn. Invading the personal space
and privacy of targets by
rummaging through their
Ben
desks, listening to phone
LeichtLing
calls, asking extremely perin My
sonal questions and eating
other people’s food.
OpiniOn
n Hypersensitive overreactions, throwing tantrums and acting like
drama queens or petulant princes. Bullies
want to train others to walk on eggshells, back
off in order to avoid a scene or beg forgiveness
as if they really did something wrong. These
bullies try to exert control through the reluctance many of us have to hurt other people’s
feelings or to get them upset.
n Dishonest evaluations — praising and
promoting favorites, giving slackers good
evaluations and destroying the careers of
targets.
n Demeaning meetings — yelling, pointing fingers, interrupting, ignoring, derisive
laughter or snorts, and nonverbal comments
behind targets’ backs, such as rude noises,
denigrating body language, facial gestures,
answering a phone or text messaging, or
working on a computer.
n Forming cliques and ganging up to harass
and demean. Perpetuating turf wars about budgets, hiring, copiers and coffee machines.
n Micro-managing everything. Bullies
make it clear they believe other people are
so stupid and incompetent that the bully has
to do everything to make sure it’s done right.
Perfectionism and nit-picking criticism.
n Managing in a panic. Waiting until the
last minute so everyone moves from crisis
to crisis. Making every task a matter of life
or death so people are continually pressured
and terrified. The panic becomes an excuse
for further bullying.
Most bullies use combinations of these
methods. The relentless application of these
techniques reinforces humiliation, pain and
fear. It can make the targets feel helpless and
situations seem hopeless.
Your operational system may look wonderful on paper, but the wrong people in
the wrong culture can always find ways to
thwart it. Your pipeline leaks money and
profits plummet.
It’s possible to turn these terrible situations around. But it takes time, perseverance
and processes tailored for each specific situation. You also need a leader dedicated to
wiping out these behaviors and a small cadre
of determined helpers is necessary.
A common mistake in dealing with bullies
is trying to educate, explain, understand,
accept, forgive, beg, bribe, ignore, reason
with or appease them. These approaches
won’t convert dedicated bullies into reasonable, civil and professional people. These approaches only stop people who aren’t really
bullies, but have behaved badly one time.
The best way to stop bullies is to stand up
to them. Expose and isolate them. Or catch
them doing something outrageous or illegal
in front of witnesses.

Baggage charges don’t fly well with consumers
P
aying to check more than one bag on
most airlines has suddenly become
standard practice on most airlines,
including Hawaiian Airlines, which
recently announced it was adopting the
same policy as its larger competitors.
Of the 967 people who participated in
PBN’s recent online Business Pulse survey, just over half said it was a bad idea.
Forty-one percent said they were OK with
the change, though judging by their comments it would be fair to say most people
didn’t exactly embrace it.
Some of the people who left comments
said they saw the $25 charge, as well as
other add-ons, as so much game-playing by
the airlines.
“If the fares are inadequate then they
should have the integrity and courage to
raise fares to an adequate level,” one person wrote. “Their approach is to mislead
the consumer into the belief that the fares
are lower when they are not.”
Others said they understood that airlines were getting hammered by fuel
prices and hoped that the extra fees
would discourage passengers from packing too much.
Here’s a sampling of the comments,

n “Geez, I was hoping Hawaiian Air
wouldn’t cave to the peer pressure. I think it’s
terrible how passengers are being charged
for every single item. All this will do is encourage passengers to check a large suitcase
and then take a carry-on suitcase on the
plane, taking up valuable overhead space.”
n “I’m OK with it but since I weigh less
than 125 pounds with my baggage, maybe I
should get a discount.”
n “We are a resort destination — it
sends a bad message. If you want to have
visitors stay longer this does not send a
very good message.”
n “If airlines follow this reasoning, they
should be charging on the total weight of
everything, including the passenger and any
carry-on baggage. Why should I be charged
extra for a second piece when the traveler sitting next to me weighs more by themselves
than I do with all my luggage?”
n “Our airlines are in big trouble, and
people just need to realize that we are
going to have to pay to try and keep a halfway decent airway system operating.”
n “I am OK with it as long as they offer a
credit to people with no luggage.”
n “This is pure and simply another way of
generating more revenue per passenger seat.
Disguising it as a fuel savings measure is insulting to the intelligence of the traveler.”
n “If I am not going somewhere to play
golf, I only take one bag. But if I am playing golf I will have to pay $25. It doesn’t
make sense.”
n “What’s next, pay toilets on flights?”

The following stories appeared this week on PBN’s
Web site — pacificbusiness
news.com:
n State revises its visitor
forecast. Expect 3 percent
fewer visitor arrivals this year,
compared with last year, followed by no growth next year
and moderate increases after
that, state officials said. Earlier
projections called for a 1.4 percent decline. Visitor days are
forecast to drop 2.4 percent this
year, remain flat in 2009, then
begin to grow in 2010. Visitor
expenditures will remain flat
this year, the state said, then
show growth next year. The
shutdowns of Aloha Airlines
and ATA get much of the blame
for the less-optimistic forecasts.
n Hotels set a record. Despite
the sober forecast for tourism, Hawaii’s hotels reported
record-high first-quarter revenues of $859.5 million, 7.5 percent more than last year. The
Hawaii Hotel Flash Report
said the statewide average
room rate hit $217.66, up 6.6
percent year over year, while
average occupancy dropped
0.8 of a percentage point. The
flash report is produced by
Smith Travel Research and
Hospitality Advisors.
n Barnwell earnings rise.
Honolulu-based Barnwell
Industries posted a 34 percent
increase in earnings, to $1.6
million, for its second fiscal
quarter, due to higher oil and
natural gas revenues. Chairman and CEO Morton Kinzler
said revenues were driven by
higher prices of oil and natural gas liquids, up 78 percent
and 62 percent, respectively,
year over year.
n Mesa delays filing. Mesa Air
Group, the parent of Hawaii’s
interisland airline go!, told
the Securities and Exchange
Commission that it was delaying the release of its secondquarter earnings report. It said
it couldn’t make its due date
without “unreasonable effort or
expense.“ The Phoenix-based
carrier has delayed filings for
the past two quarters.
