Open space rules tighten
TMT
construction
delayed by
weather
BY TOM CALLIS
HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
A County Council resolution to use public open space funds to buy the Gapp property in Hawaiian Paradise Park was
one of two property actions that prompted the Public Access, Open Space and Natural Resources Commission to
change its rules on Monday. COURTESY OF HAWAII COUNTY/SPECIAL TO WEST HAWAII TODAY
The start of construction of
the Thirty Meter Telescope on
Mauna Kea is being delayed
because of blizzard conditions
on the mountain’s summit.
TMT spokeswoman Sandra
Dawson said early construction
preparations would likely get
underway at the site of the $1.4
billion project if it wasn’t for
the winter storm. As long as the
weather starts to cooperate, the
TMT Observatory Corp. expects
to see that work begin by the
end of the month.
“We are at the mercy of the
weather,” Dawson said.
The Mauna Kea access road
was closed Monday as the summit was hit by heavy snow and
wind.
Ryan Lyman, meteorologist
for the Mauna Kea Weather
Center, said it was difficult to
estimate snow fall and wind

COUNCIL END RUNS PROMPT PUBLIC LANDS RULE CHANGE
The Public Access, Open Space and
Natural Resources Commission on
Monday changed the rules to require
properties to earn at least 50 percent
of the criteria points to be placed on
the priority list for purchase. Criteria for
purchase are set in county charter and
include preservation of natural resources

Frustrated by recent end runs by the
Hawaii County Council, the commission
charged by the county charter to prioritize
public land for open space purchase is

access to beaches and mountains and protection of watershed lands.
“The commission felt the funds should
be spent on the highest priority projects,”

An endangered or threatened
species listing may be warranted
for the common thresher shark,
the National Marine Fisheries
Service says.
The federal agency is reviewing a petition filed to list the
shark, Alopias vulpinus, as
endangered or threatened
under the U.S. Endangered
Species Act. The service,
which falls under the auspices of the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
announced the petition in the
Federal Register released March
INDEX
3, starting a 90-day period to
gather additional scientific and
commercial input to assist in its
review.
The thresher shark is a large,
highly migratory pelagic species that lives in temperate and
tropical seas worldwide, including Hawaiian waters. It can live
between 15 and 50 years and
grow to 18 feet, according to the

The state is moving forward with plans to construct a
much-anticipated science and
technology building that will
provide enhanced classroom
space for middle school pupils
in Waimea.
The 25,177-square-foot building will provide nine modern
science classrooms and laboratories for students, according
to a draft environmental assessment released Saturday for the
$12.7 million Waimea Middle
School project.
Students are expected to begin
using the Science Technology
Education and Math building
as soon as fall 2017 if all goes
as planned, said Patti Cook, the
public charter school’s community liaison.

Apple event: Golden MacBook,
HBO on iPhone, and — the Watch
BY ANICK JESDANUN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO —
All eyes were focused on
the watch, but Apple CEO
Tim Cook also unveiled
a new MacBook and
announced other deals at
a company event Monday
in San Francisco.
Here are five things you
need to know.
The Watch
▶ Apple calls it “the most
personal Apple device ever.”
And potentially the most
expensive.
▶ Starts at $349 with
Apple Watch Sport, aimed
at fitness enthusiasts, in
anodized aluminum in silver or space gray, with colorful band choices. Apple
Watch stainless steel starts
at $549, in traditional and
space black. And for those
who eat cake: Apple Watch
Edition, an 18-karat yellow
or rose gold version with a
starting price of $10,000.
▶ Includes: swipe-able
“glances” that show you the
information you use most;
customizable faces for the
dial of your choice, and lots
of features for both fitness
buffs and others who need
a reminder to get out of
their chairs.
▶ “Taptic feedback” (a
subtle tap) notifies wearers
of new emails and other
messages. By tapping a
finger on the watchface,
wearers can control music,
send Instagram photos,
sketch and send a dynamic
drawing to a friend, and see
who’s calling. Return calls
with voice or a voice-to-text
Apple CEO Tim Cook
explains the features
of the new Apple
Watch during an Apple
event in San Francisco
on Monday. ERIC RISBERG/
messaging functionality.
▶ Substitutes for: A hotel
room key, boarding pass,
even your wallet — Apple
Pay promises to enable grocery-store checkouts with a
single tap of your wrist.
▶ “All-day”
battery
promises about 18 hours of
life. Charge it by snapping
a magnetic charger to the
back of the watch.
▶ Advance orders begin
April 10. In-store sales
start April 24 in the U.S.,
Australia, Canada, China,
France, Germany, Hong
Kong, Japan and Britain.
Shiny happy
MacBook
▶ Weighing in at just 2
pounds and with no fan or
other moving parts, it’s the
lightest, thinnest and quietest Apple laptop yet, with
“all-day” battery life, which
Apple defines as 9 hours of
web browsing and 10 hours
of iTunes movie playback.
▶ Comes in three colors:
silver, “space gray” and —
wait for it — gold.
▶ Control it with a new
pressure-sensitive track
pad. Screen has the 12-inch
higher-resolution Retina
display now available only
in higher-end, heavier
MacBook Pros.
▶ Charge it with a new
kind of connector cable and
port, “USB-C,” that combines power with functions
now requiring HDMI, VGA or
USB connections. Adapters
will be available until more
accessories have USB-C
built-in.
▶ Shipping April 10, it
starts at $1,299 with 256
gigabytes of storage. A faster processor and double
the storage can be had for
$1,599.
An Apple a day
▶ To help sell a computer
designed to be pressed to
the flesh all day long Apple
hinted that the Apple Watch
and iPhone could become
vital research tools that
help turn users into volunteers for medical studies.
▶ ResearchKit,
available next month, is Apple’s
open source set of tools
that researchers can use
to build apps aimed at
diseases. Users can sign
up for studies, take tests,
describe symptoms — and
begin sending their data to
researchers.
▶ The first five apps —
for Parkinson’s, diabetes,
cardiovascular
disease,
asthma, and breast cancer
— are available Monday in
the App Store for iPhones.
Apple says it won’t see
any
personal
health
information.
A busy schedule and
no time to get that tooth fixed?
HBO on the go
▶ Apple will be the
exclusive partner of HBO’s
upcoming stand-alone subscription service, HBO Now.
There will be a new HBO
Now channel on Apple TV. It
will be possible to get it on
iPhones and iPads, too. No
cable or satellite subscription necessary.
▶ Cost: $14.99 a month.
Available in early April —
just in time for the season premiere of “Game
of Thrones.” No minimum
period required.
▶ Apple’s
exclusivity
period will be three months,
after which HBO Now will
start appearing on other
devices. Even during that
time, you can watch on
non-Apple devices over a
Web browser — but you
need an Apple TV, iPhone
or iPad to sign up.
▶ And speaking of Apple
TV, the price dropped by
$30 to $69.

OPINION
EDITORIAL
THE WASHINGTON POST
Talk is cheap
President Barack Obama in February
rolled out a plan to impose stricter rules on
brokers and others who help people invest
their retirement savings — necessitated, he
says, by widespread conflicts of interest that
may be costing savers up to $17 billion per
year in lost earnings. The chief targets, Mr.
Obama said, are financial advisers who base
their advice on what’s best for their own
compensation rather than on what would
maximize returns for their customers.
Such “conflicted advice” is allegedly
prevalent in the half-trillion-dollar-a-year
business of rolling 401(k) money into
individual retirement accounts when people
change jobs or retire, the White House said.
The proposed regulations, to be drafted by
the Labor Department, would address the
issue by imposing on all advisers a fiduciary
duty to act in the “best interest” of a client.
In contrast, the current system allows some
brokers to act based on what’s “suitable”
for a client, given such individual client
characteristics as age and risk-aversion.
The administration correctly notes that
assuring optimal investment is doubly
important now that most employers have
shifted from defined-benefit pension
plans to portable accounts managed by
individuals. Mr. Obama floated a similar
proposal in 2010, only to be defeated by
industry and congressional resistance.
Then, as now, investment companies
objected that consumers already are
protected by compensation disclosure
rules and that imposing a fiduciary
duty would raise brokers’ costs of doing
business — which would be passed
along to the detriment of small savers.
As for the administration’s estimate
of $17 billion in potential savings, the
industry asserts that is based on academic
studies that do not accurately measure
the difference between advice delivered
by fiduciaries and non-fiduciaries —
because the dollar value of investment
advice is inherently difficult to quantify.
The Investment Company Institute
also notes that the bulk of IRA money
is held in lower-cost mutual funds,
contrary to critics’ predictions.
What we have here is a clear and valid
principle — investors should receive
advice that is in their best interest —
that is going to be devilishly difficult to
reduce to enforceable regulatory language.
And that would be true even if industry
were not preparing a lobbying drive.
Mr. Obama dismissed concerns that
new regulations might drive up costs,
saying, “You shouldn’t be in business”
if that business is “bilking hardworking
Americans.” That merely raises the question
of what, exactly, constitutes “bilking.”
An analogy is to the Volcker Rule, the ban
on risky proprietary trading by banks that
was included in the Dodd-Frank financial
reform bill at the urging of former Federal
Reserve chair Paul Volcker. Easily defined
in theory, proprietary trading proved far
harder to identify, and ban, in practice.
The result was months of bureaucratic

Viewing Ferguson from Selma
T
he juxtaposition
of the Justice
Department’s
damning Ferguson report
and President Obama’s
fine speech to mark the
50th anniversary of Bloody
Sunday was coincidental.
But the founders of the
civil rights movement
would certainly have
found it providential,
so I’ll go with that.
The report cleared a man
while indicting a system.
It describes a patchwork
of municipalities that
have become predators,
trapping residents in a
web of tickets, fines, fees
and warrants in order
to raise revenue. Police
officers and municipal
judges are employed as
collection agents, squeezing
citizens on behalf of local
officials who want to spend
public money without the
inconvenience of taxation.
And police departments
such as Ferguson’s
— lacking diversity,
proper training and
accountability — are prone
to swagger and profiling.
This is the elevation
of the speed trap into a
philosophy of government.
Citizens are treated as
marks and suckers. And
the burdens fall heaviest
on those without the
resources to game a system
that is gaming them.
In this atmosphere of
exploitation, any racially
charged incident — even
one in which racial animus
can’t be demonstrated —
can set spark to tinder.
The details of these
practices are important to
guide changes in Missouri
law. But the situation
in Ferguson also reveals
something broader: How
people who do not regard
themselves as biased can
be part of a system that
inevitably results in bias.
How men and women
who view themselves
as moral can comprise
an immoral society.
It is inherently difficult
to stand in judgment of a
social structure that one is
part of. It is hard to see the
wheel on which we turn.
This requires empathy
— the ability to imagine
oneself in a different social
circumstance; to feel just
a bit of the helplessness
and anger of someone
facing injustice. And it calls
upon moral imagination
— the capacity to dream
of a better future in accord
with first principles.
Both empathy and
moral imagination are
achievements of rhetoric.
Some use the adjective
“rhetorical” as an epithet
— denoting something
artificial or manipulative.
But there was a reason the
civil rights movement set
great store by well-crafted
words: to reveal the routine
cruelty of segregation and
to place unfair suffering
in the context of a story
that gives it purpose.
That story is perhaps
the most extraordinary
outside the Bible: a captive
people, by their courage
and persistent demands,
eventually redeeming the
democratic soul of the
nation that enslaved them.
Events like the Selma
march demonstrate that
history is not bunk, or one
damn thing after another,
or any such cynical rot. One
week after Bloody Sunday,
America was fortunate to
have President Lyndon
Johnson provide rhetorical
context. “At times, history
and fate,” he said, “meet
at a single time in a single
place to shape a turning
point in man’s unending
search for freedom.”
And America was
fortunate, 50 years after
Bloody Sunday, to have
Obama appeal to America’s
moral imagination. “In one
afternoon 50 years ago,
so much of our turbulent
history — the stain of
slavery and anguish of
civil war; the yoke of
segregation and tyranny of
Jim Crow; the death of four
little girls in Birmingham,
and the dream of a Baptist
preacher — all that history
met on this bridge. It was
not a clash of armies, but
a clash of wills; a contest
to determine the true

Too many speed
humps planned on
Nani Kailua Drive
How many speed humps
does it take to slow traffic
on Nani Kailua Drive?
According to the County
of Hawaii, the answer is
nine, plus two stop signs.
That’s right. The county is
planning on installing nine
speed humps that would
cover the four-block radius
from Queen Kaahumanu
Highway to Hienaloli
Street.
What I still don’t know
is who is more reckless?
The drivers on Nani Kailua
Drive or the County of
Hawaii in making this type
of decision that will only
meaning of America.”
Obama, for whatever
reason, has often been
hesitant to provide
rhetorical leadership on
civil rights. He embodied
something he seldom
adequately explained. But
that can no longer be said
after Selma. His speech
was skilled in its use of
quotation and refrain.
But it was remarkable for
expressing the creative
tension at the heart of the
civil rights movement:
a set a principles that
both ennoble and judge
our country — ideals
that make it lovable
and make it restless.
Obama told a compelling
story of genuine but
incomplete progress,
while expressing a deep
confidence in national
ideals and character.
He embraced “the belief
that America is not yet
finished, that we are strong
enough to be self-critical,
that each successive
generation can look upon
our imperfections and
decide that it is in our
power to remake this
nation to more closely align
with our highest ideals.”
This is the reason that,
while Ferguson may be
our reality, it is not our
identity or our destiny.
America has a vision of
human dignity that stands
in perpetual challenge
to our fallen practice,
leaving us always haunted
and always hopeful.

Green waste fee
acceptable, traveling
to Waikoloa is not
Mahalo for the discussion on requiring small
commercial gardeners to
deliver their client’s green
waste to the Waikoloa facility and pay a tipping fee.
While paying this fee may
be acceptable, the distance
to travel is not.
It can be justified for the
dump trucks and container-size vehicles that presently travel to Waikoloa, but
certainly not the pick up
truck size loads of 6 cubic
yards or 500 pounds that
we 100-plus small gardeners carry for our residential
clients.
Some of the unintended consequences of the
change will be the volume of vehicles added to
already congested roads,
both on the highway and
in town, during peak hours.
The fuel, labor and energy
expense of a two-plus hour
roundtrip dwarfs the value
of the leaves, branches and
clippings being hauled 30
miles or more if coming
from Ka’u through South
and North Kona. Safety is
also an issue because the
Waikoloa facility is not controlled by a traffic signal in
that heavily traveled area.
Please note that we gardeners are carrying the
green waste of several residential clients per load and
without us, they also will be
on the road and in line at
the transfer station.
And then when the airport roadwork begins?
The cumulative costs of
the delivery could truly put
some of us out of business
… “It’s not Broke” … Please
consider leaving the present
system intact and charge
us the permit fee in Kona
and other transfer stations,
which has been discussed
at previous Hawaii County
Council meetings.

GOP sends Iran
a warning message
BY BRADLEY KLAPPER
AND DEB RIECHMANN
WASHINGTON —
Republican lawmakers
warned the leaders of
Iran on Monday that
any nuclear deal they cut
with President Barack
Obama could expire the
day he leaves office. The
White House denounced
the GOP’s latest effort
to undercut the international negotiations as a
“rush to war.”
Monday’s open letter
from 47 GOP senators
marked an unusually
public and aggressive
attempt to undermine
Obama and five world
powers as negotiators
try to strike an initial
deal by the end of March
to limit Iran’s nuclear
programs.
Republicans say a deal
would be insufficient
and unenforceable, and
they have made a series
of proposals to undercut or block it — from
requiring Senate say-so
on any agreement to
ordering new penalty
sanctions against Iran or
even making a pre-emptive declaration of war.
Obama, noting that
some in Iran also want
no part of any deal, said:
“I think it’s somewhat
ironic that some members of Congress want
to make common cause
with the hardliners in
Iran. It’s an unusual
coalition.”
The letter was written
by freshman Sen. Tom
Cotton of Arkansas, who
opposes negotiations
with Iran. It’s addressed
to the “Leaders of the
Islamic Republic of Iran”
and presents itself as a
constitutional primer
to the government of
an American adversary.
Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky’s signature
is on it, as are those of
several prospective presidential candidates.
Explaining the difference between a
Senate-ratified treaty
and a mere agreement
between Obama and
Iran’s Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, the senators
warned, “The next president could revoke such
an executive agreement
with the stroke of a pen,
and future Congresses
could modify the terms
of the agreement at any
time.”
Iranian
Foreign
Minister Mohammed
Javad Zarif responded via
state media, dismissing
the letter
as a “propaganda
ploy” and
noting
that many
international
Cotton
deals are
“mere
executive agreements.”
He suggested the senators were undermining
not only the prospective
deal with Iran but other
international
agreements as well.
With Cotton presiding over the Senate on
Monday, Democratic
leader Harry Reid spoke
out, saying Republicans
were driven by animosity toward Obama and
unwilling to recognize
that American voters
had twice elected him
president.
“Let’s be very clear:
Republicans are undermining
our
commander-in-chief while
empowering the ayatollahs,” Reid said.
“Republicans don’t
know how to do anything other than juvenile political attacks
against the president,”
the 75-year-old Reid
said with the 37-year-old
Cotton listening.
The
Republicans’
move to stop a nuclear
deal with Iran comes just
days after Israeli Prime
Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahu spoke to
a joint meeting of
Congress at Republican
House Speaker John
Boehner’s invitation. In
his address, Netanyahu
bluntly warned the
United States that a deal
would pave Iran’s path to
a nuclear bomb.
The White House
denounced Cotton’s letter, saying it was part
of an ongoing partisan
strategy to undermine
the president’s ability to
conduct foreign policy.

University of
Oklahoma severs ties
with fraternity
NORMAN, Okla. — The
president of the University
of Oklahoma severed the
school’s ties with a national
fraternity on Monday and
ordered that its on-campus
house be shuttered after
several members took part
in a racist chant caught on
video.
President David Boren
said he was sickened and
couldn’t eat or sleep after
learning about the video
Sunday afternoon. The
video, which was posted
online, shows several people on a bus participating
in a chant that included
a racial slur, referenced
lynching and indicated
black students would never
be admitted to OU’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
The Oklahoma football team decided to protest rather than practice
on Monday. At the team’s
indoor practice facility, coach Bob Stoops led
the way as players, joined
by athletic director Joe
Castiglione, walked armin-arm, wearing black.
Meanwhile, a top high
school recruit withdrew his
commitment the university
after seeing the video.
Boren attended a predawn rally organized by
students and lambasted the
fraternity members as “disgraceful” and called their
behavior “reprehensible.” He
said the university was looking into a range of punishment, including expulsion.
“This is not who we are,”
Boren said at a midday
news conference. “I’d be
glad if they left. I might even
pay the bus fare for them.”

Baby improving after
14 hours in icy river
SALT LAKE CITY —Police
responding to a report from
a fisherman about an overturned car in an icy Utah
river were stunned to discover an 18-month-old girl
dangling in a car seat inside,
unconscious but alive.
They found the baby in
the back seat and a woman
dead in the front seat after
flipping over the car. A firefighter jumped into the river
and cut the car-seat straps,
freeing the baby who was
wearing only a flannel onesie and no hat or gloves.
Officers then formed a
line in the river and handed the cold child from one
person to the next until she
was on the shoreline and in
emergency workers’ arms.
Two days later, the toddler was recovering at a
hospital, though authorities still don’t know exactly
how she survived hanging
upside-down for nearly 14
hours in frigid temperatures with no food or water.
“It’s heartbreaking. Was
she crying most the night?”
Spanish Fork Police Officer
Tyler Beddoes said. “It’s a
miracle. ... She was needed
for sure elsewhere.”
Police believe the crash
occurred late Friday when
the child’s mother, 25-yearold Lynn Groesbeck, struck
a cement barrier on a
bridge and careened into
the river in Spanish Fork,
about 50 miles south of
Salt Lake City.

PANCAKE BREAKFAST
N’DJAMENA, Chad —
Soldiers from Chad and
Niger launched the largest international push to
defeat Nigeria’s Islamic
extremists whose war has
spilled over into neighboring countries, officials and
witnesses said Monday.
Chad’s president has
warned that the leader of
Boko Haram must surrender or be killed.
At least 200 vehicles full
of soldiers were spotted
by residents crossing from
Niger into Nigeria. Loud
detonations were soon
heard, signaling heavy
combat with Boko Haram,
said Adam Boukarna, a resident of the border town of
Bosso, Niger.
The
new
offensive
includes troops from Niger
for the first time, in addition to Chadian forces
that were already carrying
out missions in Nigeria,
Chadian Brig. Gen. Zakaria
Ngobongue said Monday.
He described extremism
as a “cancer” in the region
that could not be defeated
by any one country alone.

SPACE: County Council twice proceeds too quickly
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
created in 2006, after a charter
amendment passed directing a
minimum of 2 percent of property tax revenues be set aside in
the account to purchase public
lands. The commission annually prioritizes a list based on
public input and other factors,
and then the County Council
works off that list.
But the council has twice
jumped the gun, passing resolutions to purchase land with
the funds and then sending it to
the commission to prioritize it.
That happened most recently last July, when the council
voted 6-2 to dip into open space
funds to stave off a lawsuit
caused by a 1999 misstep by the
county Planning Department.
Former South Kona/Ka’u
Councilwoman Brenda Ford
and former Hilo Councilman J
Yoshimoto voted no.
The Gapp property, as it is
known, was ranked 12th by the
commission in its most recent
report, earning 101 of a possible
288 points.
This year, the top seven purchases on the priority list are in
North Kohala, according to the
2014 annual report sent to the
mayor and council on Feb. 25.
At issue in the Gapp decision
was the creation of an oceanfront lot along Government
Beach Road in Hawaiian
Paradise Park by combining a
lot in the agricultural zone with
one in the conservation district.
The county created two such
combined lots without approval by the state Board of Land
and Natural Resources, under
then county Planning Director
Virginia Goldstein.

The owners of one of the combined lots has threatened to sue
under what county attorneys
have dubbed an “inadvertent
consolidation/resubdivision of
conservation land.” The second
landowner could also sue.
Each lot is about 6 acres
and worth about $400,000,
according to county Planning
Department and Finance
Department documents.
Puna Councilman Greggor
Ilagan, who sponsored the
council resolution, said the
property qualifies for PONC
funds. The site’s 67 archaeological features include four Native
Hawaiian burial grounds,
including a pre-Western contact burial platform, he said.
Others disagreed with the
process.
“We have an act of misfeasance by the county that we’re
trying to cover up by a misuse
of PONC funds,” Ford said at
the time.
Ford and several other West
Hawaii council members suggested the county administration use money in its litigation or executive accounts
instead of tapping PONC.
Deputy Corporation Counsel
Bill Brilhante told the council
it has the authority to spend
the money as the commission is
only advisory in nature.
The new rule goes to the
mayor, then to the county clerk,
where it goes into effect after 10
days have lapsed, said Deputy
Corporation Counsel Craig
Masuda, who advised the Public
Access, Open Space and Natural
Resources Commission.
The public has submitted 168
parcels for PONC consideration
since the program began. The
county has so far bought 1,260
acres at a total acquisition cost
of $31.7 million, including state
and federal grants and private
donations. There was $2.8 million in the fund as of Feb. 27,
according to a PONC report.
TMT: Wild weather puts planners in wait-and-see situation
speeds since the weather gauges
had frozen over. He was expecting up to 2 feet of snow and
winds between 50 and 70 mph.
“The winds are pounding,” he
said. “Snow is all over the place.”
Conditions might clear
enough for the road to be
reopened as early as Friday or
the weekend, Lyman said.
“I’m expecting snow for the
next 12 hours, maybe a little
break tomorrow, and back on it
again tomorrow night,” he said
Monday.
Dawson said the TMT
Observatory Corp. will have
a better idea when construction will begin once the weather clears. She said Goodfellow
Brothers was selected as the
primary contractor.
“We have to do some re-planning based on the weather,” she
said.
While access to the construction site itself will be restricted,
Dawson said plans are being

put together to accommodate
protests. It wasn’t immediately
clear what that would involve.
“We’re working closely
with the Office of Mauna Kea
Management, the University
and County of Hawaii to make
sure that people have the right
to express their opinions and
that construction continues,”
she said.
Protests during the groundbreaking ceremony last October
led to the disruption of the event
as TMT opponents took over
the site. That occurred after
demonstrators, who said they
were upset that the road to the
site was being restricted, set up
their own roadblock, stopping
some dignitaries from reaching
the ceremony.
Legal challenges to the project remain pending in Third
Court Court and the state
Intermediate Court of Appeals.
Kealoha Pisciotta, a TMT
opponent, said construction
should not begin before those
matters are settled.
“If they do start it will just
be another example in how
they are really no different than
any other colonizer, doing the
same thing, forcing their will
on the people of Hawaii,” she
said. “And including the host
culture.”
The TMT is expected to be

A small breakout on the
south margin of the June
27 lava flow remained within a mile of Highway 130 in
Pahoa, Hawaii County Civil
Defense reported Monday.
The active breakout did
not advance but appeared
to widen between Sunday
and Monday after moving
downhill 200 yards between
Saturday and Sunday. Its
leading edge was about 0.8
mile upslope or west of the
highway, according to Civil
Defense.
Numerous small breakouts
also continued along the June
27 lava flow’s surface and
margins extending from just
above the stalled flow fronts
to the Kilauea Volcano summit area.
“The surface breakouts
along the length of the flow
pad continues to provide an
indication that the tube system is being supplied and lava
from the source is making its
way to the downslope areas,”
officials said.
All current activity does not
pose an immediate threat to
area communities, however.
“The Hawaii County Civil
Defense Agency and Hawaiian
Volcano Observatory are
maintaining close observations of the flow and residents and businesses down
slope will be informed of any
changes in flow activity and
advancement,” Civil Defense
said.
The
U.S.
Geological
Survey Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory said that the
stalled tip of the June 27 lava
flow remains inactive about
550 yards upslope of Highway
130 in the vicinity of the Pahoa
Fire and Police stations. The
breakout on the south side
of the flow front lobe, located
about 0.5 mile from Malama
Market was showing signs of
widening but not advancing.
Activity also continued on
the north flank of Kilauea
Volcano’s Puu Oo vent. West
of Kaohe, scattered breakouts
also persist as does a breakout
about 2 miles northeast of the
vent near the forest boundary,
according to the observatory.
Smoke conditions Monday
morning were reported to be
light with a light northwest
wind blowing the smoke in
a southeast direction. Smoke
conditions may increase in
some areas and individuals who may be sensitive or
have respiratory problems
are advised to take necessary
precautions and to remain
indoors.

BY JOHN BURNETT
Waimea Middle School Principal Matt Horne shows the soccer field that will become the school’s new
science and technology building. The state has appropriated and released $15 million for the project.
WEST HAWAII TODAY FILE
SCHOOL: Project not expected to impact environment
Approximately
$15
million has already been
released for the facility
and bids were opened in
December. A contract is
expected to be awarded in
the near future and construction is expected to
take 400 days.
“This is really the first
major capital improvement project for public
education in Waimea,”
Cook said, also expressing thanks to legislators
and the Department of
Education. “It’s huge.”
Messages seeking comment from the school’s
principal Matt Horne
were not returned as of
press time Monday.
The new building would
be situated between
the Malaai Community
Garden and four existing portable classroom
buildings on the southeast portion of the
Waimea Elementary and
Middle School campus off
Mamalahoa Highway.
Preliminary plans call
for four general classrooms, three science laboratories and two computer
labs, as well as a teacher
planning room, office, student services room, faculty
center, conference room,
and restroom facilities on
both floors, according to
the draft environmental
assessment. Just the two
computer laboratories
and two small communication equipment rooms
will be the only air-conditioned areas.
The school does not
expect an increase in staff
or in its current enrollment of 300 pupils in
grades six through eight.
According to the document, the project will
not have a significant
adverse impact to natural or cultural resources,
rare or endangered flora
and fauna, and water and
environmental quality. It
also would not affect or
curtail uses of the environment or health.
Upon
urging
by
the
State
Historic
Preservation Division, an
archaeological assessment
was conducted to assess
the subsurface environment of the area because
the area may have been a
historic auwai or irrigation channel.
The assessment, conducted by Haun &
Associates, identified a
curvilinear depression
that could be a possible
section of a historic irrigation ditch. Portions
roughly correspond to a
ditch depicted on a 1915
map of the area, however,
it could not be correlated
with certainty to a known
ditch. The ditch may also
be a possible feature of a
site complex that includes
an extensive late prehistoric to early historic dendritic auwai system crossing the area.
“Based on the findings
of the archaeological survey, including the subsurface testing, and completed documentation, the
construction of the new
classroom building and
related improvements will
not have an adverse effect
on archaeological resources at the project site. The
archaeological inventory
survey found no further
work or preservation is
necessary,” the draft environmental assessment
reads.
Waimea Middle School
faculty,
administrators and families, along
with the community,
have requested the new
building for more than a
decade. In 2003, the DOE
condemned and removed
Building N from the campus because of its aged,
dilapidated condition.
The state agency agreed
to replace it with a science
and technology building.
The release of the draft
document triggered the
start of a 30-day comment period. Comments
should be sent to Wilson
Okamoto Corporation,
1907 South Beretania St.,
Suite 400, Honolulu, HI
96826.
Haili Congregational
Church is mourning the
loss of one of its own.
Dr.
Elizabeth
Haweaokalani Desha
Brown
Waiau,
the
church’s historian, conference delegate and
former director of the
Haili Cantata Choir, died
Feb. 24 at Hilo Medical
Center. She was 90, and
had been in declining
health since suffering a
stroke several years ago.
Known as “Aunty
Hawea,” Waiau was also
a retired teacher at Hilo
High School, first in
English, then helping set
the curriculum for modern history of Hawaii
courses in public schools
statewide.
“She was just a precious
gift,” said The Rev. Brian
Welsh, the church’s pastor. “Coming into a church
with so much history, she
became the bridge for me
to learn the history, to
share the history. … She
was the master of it.”
Waiau was the granddaughter of The Rev.
Stephen L. Desha Sr.,
Haili’s pastor at the turn
of the 20th century, and
twin sister of Hawaiian
entertainer Kihei Brown.
She was inducted into
the Hawaiian Music Hall
of Fame for her role with
the Haili choir.
Welsh said Waiau sang
“O Holy Night” at the
church’s Christmas Eve
service several years ago.
“She had a great voice;
she never did anything
halfway,” he said. “I think
that was her last solo at
the church.”
Waiau’s life was marked
by tragedy, as well. She
was seriously injured in
a traffic
crash that
killed her
husband,
Leopold,
a minister, at the
hairpin
Waiau
turn on
Oahu’s
Pali
Highway
on
Statehood Day, Aug. 21,
1959. Three sons, ages 6
and younger, were also
injured in the crash. She
was pregnant with her
youngest son at the time.
“She raised her four
sons; she was an awesome mother,” said Karen
Welsh, the pastor’s wife,
who described Waiau as
“one of the most wonderful women I have known.”
Waiau’s granddaughter,
Jessica Ohulei Waiau, said
her grandmother “loved
music, loved to sing and
loved just helping people
any way she could.”
Visitation is 4 to 5:30
p.m. on March 20 at
the church, and service
at 5:30 p.m. The celebration of Waiau’s life
will continue March 21
with the Hawaii Island
Congregational Church
Hoike from 8:30 to 10:30
a.m. and paina from 10:30
to 11:30 a.m. Service is at
11:30 a.m., burial at 2 p.m.
at Homelani Memorial
Park, section 1. Aloha
attire is requested.
Waiau is survived
by her sons, Kaina Lee
(Robin Healani) Waiau,
Kaimi Ralph Waiau,
Kaleo James (Shelley)
Waiau and Keala Leopold
(Jeanette) Waiau; nine
grandchildren and six
great-grandchildren;
nieces, nephews and
cousins.

SHARK: Advocates say few laws exist to protect threshers
service.
Friends of Animals filed
the petition in August
2014 to have the entire
species or six distinct population segments of it be
listed as endangered or
threatened. A species is
listed as “endangered” if it
is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of its range,
and “threatened” if it is
likely to become endangered in the foreseeable
future throughout all or
a significant portion of its
range, according to the
1973 act.
The group says such
protection is necessary
because the thresher
shark faces threats from
historical and continued
fishing for both commercial and recreational purposes; has a limited ability to recover from fishing pressure that makes
the species vulnerable to
overfishing; and there are
few laws to protect it.
The service said it
found “substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the
petitioned action may be
warranted for the species
worldwide” prompting a
full review of the status
of the common thresher
shark. The group failed
to present the same information to support the
existence and thus protection of the six distinct
population segments.
The
service
also
acknowledged that the
thresher shark historically has been overfished.
However, regulations in
effect since the 1990s
have contributed to the
rebound of the species in
some areas, it said.
“Trends
throughout the Eastern Pacific
Ocean portion of the
species’ range suggest
that the population there
is rebuilding from historical overexploitation.
However, across the rest
of its global range, we find
evidence suggesting that
population abundance of
common thresher sharks
has continued to decline
or, as in the Northwest
Atlantic Ocean, may be
stable at a diminished
abundance,” the service
wrote.
Since the petition was
submitted to the service, however, the common thresher shark
has been listed in
Appendix II under the
International Convention
on the Conservation of
Migratory Species of Wild
Animals. Such listing
encourages international
cooperation toward conservation of the species,
the service said.
The National Marine
Fisheries Service has 12
months from the time
it received the petition
to conclude a review
with a finding of whether a petitioned action is
warranted.

The Hilo Naniloa Hotel remains open during construction.
TOM CALLIS/HAWAII
TRIBUNE-HERALD
Naniloa Hotel renovations could
be complete as early as November
BY TOM CALLIS
The owners of the Hilo
Naniloa Hotel are aiming
to show off their completed renovations as
early as November, nearly two years after acquiring the Banyan Drive
hotel, according to plans
submitted to the state
Department of Land and
Natural Resources.
The schedule calls for
a soft opening Nov. 15
followed by a “national
brand hard opening” on
Dec. 31.
In the meantime, hotel
owner WHR, LLC, is
seeking to borrow up to
$16 million from Hall
Hilo, LLC, under a construction loan agreement.
Construction is ongoing
at the 383-room hotel,
though the loan is needed
to complete the work.
The loan is expected to
close March 15.
According to WHR’s
schedule, ongoing work
includes lobby renovations and construction
of a grand staircase, in
addition to other repairs.
The hotel remains open
during construction.
Construction costs are
estimated to be about
$10.5 million, according
DLNR. It wasn’t clear if
that’s for the entire hotel
or just the Mauna Kea
and Mauna Loa towers.
Plans for renovations
to Kilauea Tower, gutted
by the previous owner,
are expected to be filed
with DLNR on Dec. 1.
The Board of Land
and Natural Resources
will consider approving the mortgage and
WHR’s renovation plans
at its meeting Friday in
Honolulu.
WHR initially planned
to host a grand opening
on Dec. 31, 2014. That
date was pushed back
due to delays in securing
financing.
The
owners
told
DLNR that $908,652
has been spent on renovations during phase
I, which included some
improvements to guest
rooms, the lobby, outdoor painting and general construction.
Phase II will include
$3.17 million in guest
room
renovations,
$285,000 in golf course
improvements and $1.5
million in restaurant and
Crown Room renovations. Other funds will be
spent on deferred maintenance, landscaping and
other construction work.

A high wind warning
has been extended for the
Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea
summits through 6 p.m.
Thursday, according to the
National Weather Service.
The service forecast
southwest winds of 45 to
65 mph with gusts topping
80 mph. Winds this strong
can make driving in the
area dangerous. Officials
cautioned that travel to the
summit should be delayed
until the winds subside.
Winter storm watch
posted for summits
A winter storm watch
has been posted for the Big
Island summits through
Thursday afternoon.
National
Weather
Service forecasters based
in Honolulu say 5 to 8 inches of additional snow and
ice is possible for areas
above 11,500 feet in elevation through 6 p.m.
Thursday. During times of
freezing fog, visibility could
be reduced to less than 0.5
mile.
Temperatures
are
expected to be in the mid20s at night and low 30s
during the day, according to the service. Expect
west winds around 45- to
65-mph with higher gusts.
Travel to the summit either
on foot or by vehicle may
be dangerous and is discouraged.
A winter weather advisory, which remained in
effect until 6 a.m. today,
preceded the storm watch.
A winter storm watch
means there is a potential
for significant snow, sleet
or ice accumulations that
may impact travel.
WAILUKU, Maui — Maui
authorities say an 85-yearold man was rescued over
the weekend after he
became exhausted during
a hike.
The Maui News reports
the man was airlifted to
safety from the King’s
Trail near La Perouse Bay
in South Maui on Saturday
afternoon.
Authorities say the man
was unable to walk out
on his own after he complained of shortness of
breath during a hike with a
female friend.
According to authorities,
another hiker came across
the pair and called for help.
Medics checked the
ailing man out and treated him at the scene.
Authorities say the man
declined to be transported
for further treatment.
Longtime Kauai
County spokeswoman
to join Syngenta
LIHUE, Kauai — A Kauai
County spokeswoman is
headed for a new job as
community outreach manager for Syngenta.
Beth Tokioka’s last day
with the county will be
March 16. She starts a
week later at Syngenta on
Kauai.
The
Garden
Island
reports Tokioka began
working at the county
in 1994 as then-Mayor
Maryanne Kusaka’s executive secretary.
That’s when the island
was still recovering from
Hurricane Iniki. Tokioka
had just moved to Kauai
when the hurricane struck
in 1992 and she was working as an associate sales
manager at the former
Hyatt Regency Kauai.
Syngenta Hawaii spokesman Mark Phillipsborn says
the company is thrilled to
have her highly regarded
expertise.
Tokioka says her decision to join Syngenta is
based on a desire to bolster the island’s agricultural industry.
UH West Oahu
accreditation
reaffirmed
KAPOLEI, Oahu — The
Western Association of
Schools and Colleges is
reaffirming
accreditation for the University of
Hawaii’s West Oahu campus, while removing it from
notice-of-concern status.
In 2012, the association
identified some areas of
concern, including leadership turnover and creating a student-centered
environment at the new
Kapolei campus. The association said in a letter last
week to Chancellor Rockne
Freitas that all areas of
concern were satisfactorily
addressed.
The association is asking the school to provide
an interim report in fall
2018 notifying the commission about progress
on recommendations. The
recommendations include
resource planning and
development toward financial stability, growing faculty capacity, developing
assessment systems and
strategizing distance education delivery.
The association will conduct a visit to the school in
spring 2022, with a mid-cycle review in 2019.
Report of screaming
leads police to
murder victim
KAHULUI, Maui — Maui
police say a report of
screaming heard in Kahului
led officers to a murder victim.
Police say a caller
reported hearing a female
screaming from a Kahului
property early Monday.
When officers arrived at
what police describe as a
one-bedroom shack, they
discovered a dead 43-yearold woman lying on the
floor. She appeared to have
been stabbed.
Officers searching the
area found a man in the
back portion of the property’s main dwelling. The
25-year-old man was taken
into custody after police
determined he had potential evidence linking him to
the woman’s death. Police
didn’t reveal what evidence
was found.
Police say the woman
and the man are related.
Ala Moana’s Tsukiji
Fish Market owes
workers nearly $60K
HONOLULU — The U.S.
Department of Labor says
a restaurant at Ala Moana
Center illegally required
servers to share tips while
paying them less than minimum wage.
The
department
announced Monday 68
employees at Tsukiji Fish
Market restaurant are
owed nearly $50,000 in
tips and more than $5,000
in back wages.
In most states, employers can pay less than minimum wage, that when
added to tips left by customers, equals at least
the full minimum wage.
However, the employer’s
ability to claim a tip credit
was invalid when employees were required to share
tips with workers who
weren’t entitled to tips.
The department says
the employer agreed to pay
all the tips owed and back
wages and to change their
policy.
A phone message seeking comment from the
restaurant wasn’t immediately returned.

the Rainbow Warriors
topping CSULB, 78-59,

The 49ers entered
conference play on a
six-game losing skid,
but then opened with
two league victories.
After a 73-67 overtime
loss at UC Davis on Jan.
10, Long Beach State
won six straight games
including the win over
Hawaii, representing
the Rainbow Warriors’
worst margin of defeat

The 49ers then took
another U-turn, losing
five consecutive games,
including the 19-point
loss to UH which was
Long Beach State’s
worst Big West defeat.
But the 49ers appear
to be back on track,
ending league play with
three straight victories
(vs. Cal State Fullerton,
70-47, Cal State
Northridge, 69-58, and
UC Riverside, 59-58).
Granted, the combined
Big West record of
those three opponents
is 12-36, but regardless
Long Beach State does
have momentum heading into the tournament.
The Rainbow
Warriors, meanwhile,
are coming off a
resounding 91-70 win

Derrick Rose offered no assurance that he will return this season, saying there’s a “good chance”
but that he’d “listen to (his) body.”
During a 12-minute session
with the media before Monday’s
game with the Grizzlies, Rose
said the whole episode might be a
“blessing in disguise” because his
right knee is now pain-free.
But that won’t do much to
appease Bulls fans, especially if
the star point guard declines to
play again until next season.
“Whenever I’m ready to come
back, I’ll come back,” he said.
Team physical Brian Cole performed the 15-minute procedure Feb. 27 on the torn medial
meniscus in Rose’s right knee.
The damaged part was removed,
and Rose walked out of surgery,
able to bear his full weight.
General manager Gar Forman
called it “minor” surgery and predicted Rose would be back in
action in 4-6 weeks — late March
or early April. The Bulls’ final
regular-season game is April 15.
Asked if he feels pressure to
return, Rose replied: “No pressure at all. We have a great team.
If anything, my teammates are
telling me to take my time.”

any NFL free agents

And those questions
linger in part because the
PGA Tour doesn’t release
all information about

“We don’t think the

about most of the stuff we
would be talking about,”
Commissioner
Tim

“We don’t think there’s

we don’t think much of it

When asked if the

NFL: Agreements in place
early for teams, players
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Detroit Lions. Other top
free agents such as cornerback Byron Maxwell,
wide receiver Jeremy
Maclin and linebacker
Pernell McPhee reportedly have agreements lined
up as well: Maxwell with
the Philadelphia Eagles,
Maclin with the Kansas
City Chiefs and McPhee
with the Chicago Bears.
With some would-be
free agents having been
franchise-tagged and others having re-signed with
their teams, the destinations of only two of the
top 10 free agents in The
Washington Post’s rankings remained unknown
as of Monday afternoon
(barring a last-minute
unraveling of the Suh and
Maclin deals). That intensifies the spotlight on the
free agent deliberations
of Dallas Cowboys tailback DeMarco Murray,
last season’s NFL rushing
leader, and San Francisco
49ers guard Mike Iupati.
There is other intrigue,
of course. Wide receiver
Torrey Smith has written
an online farewell to the
Baltimore Ravens and is
thought to be headed to
San Francisco. But there
have been no indications
of a deal with the 49ers
being finalized. Brian
Hoyer, perhaps the best
remaining option in an
underwhelming class of
free agent quarterbacks,
is believed to be planning
to sign with the Houston
Texans. But the New
York Jets reportedly had
not given up as of early
Monday afternoon on
signing him.

Vuls cold in clutch, get swept by Dixie
BY MATT GERHART
The University of
Hawaii at Hilo softball
team was in dire need
of a rally Monday in the
bottom of the sixth when
Emily Greene led off
with a hit and Melanie
Morelos walked, putting
two runners on with no
outs.
In lieu of a bunt or a
hit-and-run, coach Peejay
Brun decided to wait for
a big hit.
That wait is still ongoing, because timely hitting was hard to come
by for the Vulcans in a
pair of 2-0 losses to Dixie
State at UH-Hilo softball
field.
“We had a couple of
chances and didn’t finish,”
Brun said. “And you can’t
do that against the top
team in the conference.”
In getting swept for
the first time in Pacific
West Conference play,
the Vulcans (12-9, 7-4
PacWest) wasted fine

territory Monday against Dixie State. PHOTO

pitching performances
from Vanessa Salinas and
Danielle Wilson, who
both went the distance
against the Red Storm
(19-5, 10-0).
Salinas (7-5) allowed
eight hits and walked one
with five strikeouts, while
Wilson (5-4) surrendered
four hits and four walks
and yielded one earned
run with two strikeouts.
“I couldn’t have asked
for more from them,”
Brun said.
She couldn’t say the
same about her hitters,
save for Colleen Aubrey.
Batting leadoff, the senior
collected three hits in the
second game, when the
Vulcans stranded eight
runners on base against
Aryn Feickert (7-0), who
struck out six.
Michelle Duncan (110) tossed a two-hitter
with six strikeouts in the
opener for Dixie State.
“One of the problems is
we couldn’t get the right
hitter up at the right
time,” Brun said.
As for playing smallball, Brun said, “We’ll still
try to mix it up, but it
was tough when we fell
behind.”
The
Red
Storm’s
Courtney Hine had two
hits and scored a run as
Dixie went ahead with
runs in the second and
third in the first game.
In the the second game,
Hine had a run-scoring
single during the Red
Storm’s two-run third.
Brun will give the
Vulcans the day off
Tuesday before they get
in two days of practice
ahead of Friday and
Saturday home doubleheaders
against
California Baptist.
The first order of business in practice?
“We’re going to work
on our pressure hitting,”
Brun said. “It might not
be fun for them, but it will
be fun for me to watch.”

NAKAMA: Scoring picks up for Rainbow Warriors
(9-22) last Saturday –
matching UH’s biggest
margin of victory in Big
West play this season.
In an encouraging sign,
five different Rainbow
Warriors scored in double
figures: Garrett Nevels
(16), Stefan Jovanovic
(15), Aaron Valdes (12),
Isaac Fleming (11) and
Stefan Jankovic (10).
The career-high 15
points by Jovanovic is
particularly encouraging, since that is his first
double-figure outing in
a span of 18 games, dating to his 13-point night
against Southern on Dec.
29. Low-post scoring
has been a weak area
for Hawaii throughout
much of the season.
In another bright
sign, Valdes grabbed
nine rebounds to go
with his 12 points, the
most boards he has
had in a single game
since also grabbing
nine vs. Chaminade
way back on Dec. 19.
Valdes is still the
team’s leading rebounder
with an average of 5.3
per game, but until last
Saturday he had not had
more than five boards in
a game since snagging
six caroms in the Big
West opener against Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo
on Jan. 7. He and the
Rainbow Warriors are
best when he is active
and scoring and rebounding around the basket.
Valdes’ three assists
also represent his highest total since a victory
over East Carolina way
back on Nov. 26.
And then there is
Fleming, who had missed
three straight games with
a sprained ankle before
returning on Senior Night
vs. UC Santa Barbara,
only to get hurt again and
leave the game for good
early in the second half.
At Cal State Fullerton
last Saturday, Fleming
scored 11 points, dished
out six assists and
blocked one shot in 21
minutes off the bench.
Mike Thomas, a former
starter at power forward
who also is recovering
from an ankle injury,
added six points and
five rebounds in 18 minutes of reserve action.
That kind of boost
will be invaluable if
UH is to make a run in
this week’s tournament,
where bench support and
depth are sure to be big
factors for every team.
Should the Rainbow
Warriors make it past
Long Beach State, and
the rest of the bracket
plays out as expected,
they would face No. 1
seed UC Davis at 3:30
p.m. (HST) on Friday.
The Aggies (24-5) put
together an impressive
14-2 league record,
but one of the losses
came to Hawaii.
Granted, that was at
the Stan Sheriff Center
back on Jan. 22, but
the game showed UH
can match up well with
UC Davis, which was
shown even in a 74-67
loss at Davis on Feb. 21.
And should the
Rainbow Warriors
somehow advance to
Saturday’s championship
game, they probably will
face either No. 2 seed
UC Santa Barbara or
No. 3 seed UC Irvine,
each of whom swept its
series against Hawaii
this season. But as they
say … it’s hard to beat
a team three times.
So while the Big West
regular season proved
to be an up-and-down
journey for the Rainbow
Warriors in an injury-plagued 8-8 campaign,
they are now healthy
and seem more than
capable of at least getting
past the quarterfinals,
which has not happened
the past two seasons.
The Rainbow Wahine,
meanwhile, are already
guaranteed a spot into
the semifinals by virtue
of winning the Big West
regular season title and
earning the accompanying “double-bye” into
the 9 a.m. (HST) game
Friday against the lowest
remaining seed. So in a
worst-case scenario, they
will play No. 4 seed Long
Beach State, which lost to
UH, 72-64, in Honolulu
on Jan. 29 and 47-46 in
Long Beach on Feb. 26.
Should the Rainbow
Wahine advance to
Saturday’s noon championship game, they
will likely face Cal State
Northridge, which handed UH one of its two
conference losses, 53-46,
back on Jan. 10. But the
Rainbow Wahine were
missing All-Big West
first team swing player Shawna-Lei Kuehu
to injury in that game.
She returned right after,
and Hawaii has not
lost since, running off
14 straight victories.
And regardless of
how they fare in the Big
West Tournament, the
Rainbow Wahine (227, 14-2 Big West)) are
guaranteed a berth in
the Women’s NIT as a
reward for winning the
regular season title.
For the Rainbow
Warriors, it appears
like an all-or-nothing
situation as anything
short of a tournament
championship would
likely end their season.
But so far, taking it
one game at a time, each
Hawaii team seems to
have as good a chance
as anyone to make a
two- or three-game run
and possibly go “dancing” this postseason.
Knock on wood.

Hawks beat Kings, become
first team to 50 wins
ATLANTA — Kyle
Korver and DeMarre
Carroll each scored 20
points as the Atlanta
Hawks bounced back
from a rare loss by
becoming the first NBA
team to 50 wins, scoring
a season high in routing
the Sacramento Kings
130-105 Monday night.
Resting three starters,
the East-leading Hawks
(50-13) were beaten by
the lowly 76ers over the
weekend to snap a sixgame winning streak.
Korver didn’t even make
the trip to Philadelphia,
the Hawks hoping the
rest would help snap him
out of a shooting slump
since the All-Star break.
Boy, did it ever. Korver
went 6 of 8 from 3-point
range. The Hawks set a
franchise record by going
20 of 36 beyond the arc,
breaking the mark of
19 set against Dallas on
Dec. 17, 1996.
The Hawks led 76-54
at the break — their
most prolific half of the
season. They finished
with 42 assists, best in
the NBA this season. Jeff
Teague led the way with
13.
Rudy Gay scored 23
points as the Kings lost
their fourth in a row.
PELICANS 114,
BUCKS 103
MILWAUKEE — Anthony Davis
scored 43 points, tying a career
high and helping New Orleans
pull away to beat Milwaukee.
Eric Gordon added 16 and
Tyreke Evans had 13 before
leaving the game in the third
quarter with an ankle injury.
The Pelicans shot 59 percent
for the game and 60 percent from 3-point range.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had
a career-high 29 points for the
Bucks, who have lost seven of
nine. Michael Carter-Williams
tallied 25, his highest-scoring
game for Milwaukee since
being acquired last month
in a trade-deadline deal, and
Khris Middleton scored 17.
Milwaukee took a 101-100
lead with 3:35 remaining on
a runner by Antetokounmpo.
Davis, who recorded his third
career 40-point game, then
scored eight consecutive
points as New Orleans closed
the game on a 14-2 run.
WARRIORS 98,
SUNS 80
PHOENIX — Stephen Curry
scored 25 of his 36 points in
the second half and Golden
State beat Phoenix for its
50th victory of the season.
Klay Thompson added 25
for the Warriors, who at 50-12
have the NBA’s best record, a
half-game better than Atlanta.
Curry made 7 of 13 3-pointers, 6 of 8 in the second
half, in his 13th 30-point
game of the season.
Eric Bledsoe scored 19 for
Phoenix. Brandon Knight had
13 before leaving the game
with a sprained left ankle in the
second quarter. Alex Len had
10 points and 11 rebounds.
The Warriors became the
second NBA team to win 50
games this season. Atlanta did
it with a victory over Sacramento a few hours earlier.
GRIZZLIES 101,
BULLS 91
CHICAGO — Marc Gasol
scored 23 points to lead
Memphis past his brother Pau and Chicago.
Gasol was 10 of 16 from
the field for the Grizzlies,
who moved to two games
ahead of idle Houston for the
Southwest Division lead.
Jeff Green had 19 and Zach
Randolph added 16 for the
Grizzlies, who held the Bulls
to 43.8 percent shooting
from the field and improved
to 21-11 on the road.
Pau Gasol, Marc’s older
brother, had 13 points and 11 rebounds for his 43rd double-double to match the career high he
set during the 2010-11 season
with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Marc Gasol started opposite his brother at last
month’s NBA All-Star Game.
WIZARDS 95,
HORNETS 69
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
Marcin Gortat scored 20
points and Washington
rolled past Charlotte.
John Wall added 15 points
and nine assists, Bradley
Beal had 14 points and Kevin
Seraphin scored 12 for the
Wizards, who snapped a
nine-game road losing streak.
Mo Williams scored 19 points
for the Hornets, who shot
just 32.5 percent (25 of 77)
and committed 16 turnovers
to tie their lowest-scoring
game this season and end a
five-game winning streak.
Al Jefferson added 14 points
and Lance Stephenson 12 for
Charlotte, which led twice in
the first 2½ minutes, the last
at 9-8 on Williams’ threepoint play with 9:21 left.
CLIPPERS 89,
TIMBERWOLVES 76
LOS ANGELES — J.J.
Redick scored 26 points,
DeAndre Jordan had 20
points and 17 rebounds, and
injury-depleted Los Angeles
snapped a two-game skid.
Austin Rivers scored 13
points as the Clippers,
despite the absences of Blake
Griffin and Jamal Crawford,
bounced back one day
after a road loss to Pacific
Division-leading Golden State.
Chris Paul also managed
just two points and 15
assists while playing 29
minutes on a bruised knee.
Adreian Payne had 16 points
and 15 rebounds while starting
in place of Kevin Garnett for
the Timberwolves, who opened
a four-game road trip with
their fifth loss in six games.
Minnesota has lost 12
straight to the Clippers
since February 2012.
CELTICS 100,
HEAT 90
MIAMI — Isaiah Thomas
scored 25 points in another
strong game off the bench,
Brandon Bass added 14
and Boston beat Miami.
Luigi Datome scored 13
for the Celtics, and Kelly
Olynyk finished with 10.
Dwyane Wade scored 34
points for the Heat, who got
14 from Michael Beasley and
12 from Mario Chalmers. The
Heat got a pregame lift from
the return of Chris Bosh to the
team’s bench for the first time
since he was ruled out for the
season last month because
of blood clots on a lung.
But it wasn’t enough to keep
Miami’s playoff hopes from
taking another blow, and the
Heat missed a chance to climb
into seventh in the Eastern
Conference playoff race.
NUGGETS 106,
KNICKS 78
DENVER — Kenneth Faried
had 19 points and 11 rebounds,
and Denver routed New York.
Wilson Chandler and Will
Barton scored 17 points
apiece for the Nuggets, who
enjoyed their second-largest
margin in a win this season.
The Knicks lost their fourth
straight and fell to 12-50, the
NBA’ first 50-loss team this
season. Alexey Shved had 19
points for New York, which
has just seven wins in 2015.
The lead grew to as much
as 34 in the fourth. It was the
largest lead of the season for
the Nuggets, who tied a season
low with eight turnovers. They
didn’t have a turnover in the
second or third quarter.

Notice of Designation of Island of Oahu as Expanded
Coffee Berry Borer Infested Area Subject to Quarantine
On February 24, 2015, the Board of Agriculture (Board) voted to expand the
designated coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei, infested areas on
Oahu from Waialua Estate Coffee Farms and the Old Waialua Sugar Mill to the
entire island of Oahu. The Board’s designation of Oahu island as an expanded CBBinfested area authorizes the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA), Plant
Quarantine Branch (PQB) under its rules to implement quarantine measures to
restrict movement of coffee and other CBB hosts from all areas on Oahu. The
Board’s designation became effective on February 25, 2015.

TRADE-INS WELCOME PAID FOR OR NOT!
The Board is authorized to expand a designated CBB infested area to
implement quarantine measures to prevent further spread of CBB and its plant or
commodity hosts from the designated expanded area of infestation to restricted
(uninfested) areas. (Sections 4-72-12(e) and 4-72-4.5(a), Hawaii Administrative
Rules (HAR).) On December 16, 2014, based on confirmation of the presence of
CBB, the Board designated the Waialua Estate Coffee Farms and the Old Waialua
Sugar Mill as expanded CBB infested areas subject to the same quarantine
restriction to prevent the movement of CBB that applies to the island of Hawaii
under section 4-72-12, HAR. Due to recent findings of CBB in two new Oahu
locations, Wahiawa and Poamoho, it was determined that an island wide
quarantine for Oahu is necessary to prevent the further spread of CBB to other
islands not known to have this destructive pest. So far, CBB has not been detected
on Maui, Kauai, Molokai, and Lanai.
The Board’s designation of Oahu as an expanded CBB infested area means that
coffee and related CBB host material from Oahu are subject to the quarantine
restrictions specified in section 4-72-12, HAR, (Restrictions on coffee), the same
restrictions that apply to Hawaii island and the two previously designated sites at
Waialua, Oahu. The quarantine restrictions as specified in section 4-72-12, HAR,
include but are not limited to the following: movement or transportation of coffee
plants and parts thereof, including green (unroasted) coffee beans, used coffee
bags; and coffee harvesting equipment, including baskets, sacks, or containers, is
prohibited from a CBB infested area to a CBB restricted area except by permit
issued by the HDOA. A permit may be issued by the PQB chief (chief) for the
transportation of a commodity or item listed in the above paragraph with conditions
established by the chief appropriate for each of the following circumstances: (1)
coffee plants and plant parts for propagation when subject to treatment with an
approved pesticide, and grown and monitored in quarantine for a period of not less
than one year at a State facility; (2) coffee plants and plant parts that have been
shipped using safeguards approved by the chief to an approved facility for research
purposes; (3) roasting of green coffee beans that have been subjected to
treatments approved by the chief; (4) roasting of untreated green coffee beans that
have been shipped using safeguards approved by the chief to an approved facility
that is located at least five miles away from a commercial coffee growing area; (5)
used coffee bags that have been subjected to treatments approved by the chief; or
(6) coffee harvesting equipment that has been subjected to treatments approved by
the chief. In addition, the chief is authorized to approve treatments and mitigative
measures as they are scientifically validated and may revise permit conditions
accordingly, as necessary to prevent movement of the CBB from the infested area
and to preserve the quarantine. Organic treatment methods are available, as
approved by the chief.
Export (out-of-state) shipments of coffee plants and plant parts, green coffee
beans, and used coffee bags are not subject to quarantine restrictions, provided
that they are exported directly from the CBB infested area and are not transshipped
through a CBB restricted area in the State. Coffee plants and plant parts, green
coffee beans, and used coffee bags for export that move from one infested area to
another or that are exported via transshipment through a CBB restricted area must
be double-bagged in thick, transparent, non-permeable plastic bags that are sealed
and labeled to identify their contents as being from a specific CBB infested area,
provided that the chief is authorized to revise these required safeguards, as
necessary.
Under the Board’s designation of Oahu as an expanded CBB infested area, the
movement of green (unroasted) coffee and the other above-mentioned CBB hosts
between CBB infested areas, i.e., between Hawaii and Oahu, will require a permit.
HDOA’s Plant Intrastate Rules, chapter 4-72, HAR, provides that the PQB chief may
authorize the transportation of an untreated infested commodity to an island where
the pest is known to be established. As it is still important to limit the spread of
CBB on an island designated as CBB infested, permits for shipments between CBB
infested areas will require appropriate safeguards, such as bagging requirements.
The quarantine restrictions apply to all Oahu coffee growers or roasters and to
any individual or entity that transports coffee and related CBB host material from
Oahu.

Sam Choy shared
his passion for

a cooking demonstration
highlighting ulu, or
breadfruit. Shoppers were
treated to samples of ulu
salad-island style and
ulu chowder with bacon,
Spam and fresh corn after
Choy showed the crowd
the techniques used in
creating the tasty dishes.
The demonstration,
presented by KTA and
the Hooulu Ka Ulu
Project, was part of an
ongoing effort to revitalize
and promote ulu as a
delicious and nutritious
local food source.
Andrea Dean, co-director
of Hooulu Ka Ulu, said 57
million pounds of fresh
and frozen potatoes are
imported into the state
each year. Ulu is a viable
substitution for the starch
staple, easily cultivated
and grown, providing a
local, fresh alternative.
“Anything you can do with
a potato, you can do better
with ulu,” Dean said.

FRESH IDEAS FOR DRESSING UP
A BASIC BOWL OF OATMEAL
BY ALISON LADMAN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oatmeal is the vanilla
ice cream of the breakfast
world. Some of us like
it plain and straight up,
appreciating its clean,
oaty flavor, its firm yet
giving texture, the way
it cloyingly stays in your
mouth just a second longer
than you think it should.
And then there is the
rest of humanity, those
folks who — as with vanilla
ice cream — treat oatmeal
as a carrier for whatever
you care to pile on and
mix in. This list is for those
folks, the people who like
to dress their breakfasts
to impress — or at least
to taste awesome.
Caramel mocha oatmeal. PHOTOS BY MATTHEW MEAD/
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Raspberry lime oatmeal
Bacon gouda oatmeal
Start with your favorite way to prepare a bowl of oatmeal, whether
it’s cooked steel-cut oats, slow-cooked extra-thick oats, or a packet
of instant. Jazz it up by adding any of these toppings:
•Tropical: Stir in 1 tablespoon of cream of coconut, then top with a
spoonful of crushed pineapple and chopped toasted macadamia nuts.
•Bacon and Gouda: Stir in a handful of shredded aged Gouda
cheese, then top with crumbled crisp-cooked bacon.
•Pumpkin pie: Stir in 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree and 1/2 teaspoon
pumpkin pie spice, then top with crumbled shortbread cookies.
•Brulee: Spoon into an oven-safe ramekin. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over
the top, then broil until golden and caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
•Morning glory: Stir in 1/2 cup finely grated carrot, 1 teaspoon orange
zest and a handful of golden raisins. Top with toasted sunflower seeds.
•Caramel mocha: Stir together 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, 1 tablespoon
cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons half-and-half. Stir into the oatmeal, then
drizzle the top with caramel sauce. Top with whipped cream, if desired.
•Spinach, tomato and feta: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped, cooked, welldrained spinach and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano. Top with roasted
marinated tomatoes (often available where fine olives are sold)
or jarred sun-dried tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese.
•Banana bread: Mash a very ripe banana and stir into the oatmeal along with
a pinch of nutmeg. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar and toasted walnuts.

Overnight cherry-chocolate chip
oatmeal pudding
Start to finish: 10 minutes, plus chilling
Servings: 2
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 1/2 tablespoons cherry jam
2 teaspoons chia seeds (optional)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup rolled oats or
oatmeal (not instant)
2 tablespoons slivered or
sliced almonds, toasted
CARE
COMFORT
Even non-instant
rolled oats are really
only a few minutes away
from being cooked into
the iconic breakfast
porridge I grew up
eating (at the insistence
of my grandma). But
sometimes 5 minutes
feels about 4 minutes
too long, at least at
our house. And more
to the point, my family
doesn’t all love oatmeal
as much as I learned to.
Oat pudding solves
In a medium bowl, whisk together
the yogurt, milk and jam until
smooth. Add the chia seeds, vanilla,
chocolate chips and oats and mix
until well blended. Cover and chill
for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. To
serve, top with toasted almonds.

these problems.
And more.
Oat pudding is
made the night before
(and only takes a few
minutes), and can be
customized to your
tastes. It’s easy to add
almond butter, cocoa
powder, maple syrup,
berries, cinnamon,
applesauce, fresh or
frozen fruit, shaved
coconut, or whatever
else you enjoy.
The key is to mix about
equal parts oats and
liquid, add the flavorings,
then let the pudding
rest in the refrigerator
for at least an hour and
up to 48 hours. Pull
the pudding out of the
fridge, top with any
extras (like fruit, nuts,
honey or maple syrup)
and enjoy. Or pop in the
microwave for a minute
for a warm pudding.
Easy. And so much better
than grandma’s big pot
of sticky porridge.

Easy makeovers for national nutrition month
Creamy potato salad
You’ve heard it before:
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Less saturated
fat. More fiber, less sugar.
Eat in moderation. Chew
slowly. Have smaller, more
frequent meals. Even if
you make only one small
change, you’ll be better off.
Something as simple as
not eating after 8 p.m. has
helped me to sleep better.
Cutting down on caffeine
helps, too. On most mornings, I start the day with
fresh fruit, usually a cup of
berries, an orange, or half
a grapefruit, or a smoothie
with juice, frozen berries or
mango chunks and a squeeze
of lime juice. That helps me
“clean out” and feel energized. A couple of hours later,
perhaps a few whole grain
crackers with almond butter,
or a scrambled egg, to provide protein that will sustain
me through the morning.
Another painless way to
walk further down the good
nutritional path is to modify
a few familiar – and usually
sinful – recipes in ways that
improve their nutritional
profile without compromising flavor. Making your own
also eliminates some artificial
ingredients and additives
that aren’t exactly enhancing
your health. Simple changes can give big benefits.
Here are a few examples.
Replace the usual heavy
mayo dressing with nonfat
yogurt and Dijon mustard. With
a little reduced-fat mayo, it
still tastes great. Recipe from
Eating Well magazine. Makes
eight one-cup servings.
3 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed and cut
into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Fresh ground black
pepper to taste
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup reducedfat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped
fresh parsley
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh dill
In a large saucepan, cover
potatoes with cold water;
add salt and bring to a boil
over medium heat. Cook
until tender, 7 to 9 minutes.
Drain potatoes; place in a
large bowl. Toss with vinegar
and season with pepper; let
cool. In a small bowl, whisk
together the yogurt, mayonnaise and mustard. Add
to potatoes, along with celery, scallions, parsley and
dill. Stir gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Refrigerate
until ready to serve.
Spicy Potato Chips
Potatoes really do get a
bad rap; probably because a
substantial amount of fat is
often used in their preparation.
Yet they are a great source of
potassium, vitamins C and B6,
iron and magnesium. Potatoes
also contain compounds called
protease inhibitors, being
studied as potential cancer
fighters. These two “modified”
potato favorites will put potatoes back in a healthy diet.
Pizza makeover
Let’s talk pizza. Did you
know you could make your
own healthier one in about
20 minutes; less time than it
takes to get one delivered?
(I also like the fact that the
only hands touching the
ingredients are my own.)
Using whole wheat flour
adds a little fiber, B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, potassium, selenium and zinc.
The Basic 20-Minute Pizza
For more pizzazz, add
unsweetened pineapple, halved
seedless grapes, sliced mushrooms, thin sliced bell peppers, or other favorite nutrient-dense topping. Recipe from
“The Healing Foods Cookbook”
by the editors of Prevention
magazine. Makes two servings.
1/2 cup lukewarm water
(about 110 degrees)
1 tablespoon canola or safflower oil
1 teaspoon quickrise active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup thick tomato sauce
1 cup shredded partskim mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
While oven is heating, in a large
bowl, combine water, oil, yeast
and honey. Stir to dissolve the
yeast. Add flour, garlic powder and onion powder; mix
thoroughly. Let dough rest for
five minutes. Coat a 12-inch
pizza pan with nonstick spray.
Place dough on pan; shape
into an 11-inch round. Spread
on the sauce, leaving a halfinch border. Sprinkle with the
cheese. Bake for 12 minutes.
Seafood salad
Spraying thin slices of
potatoes with nonstick cooking spray and baking them
will give you crisp chips
with almost none of the fat.
Recipe from “Healthy Side
Dishes” by Williams-Sonoma
Books. Makes six servings.
2 pounds baking potatoes,
well scrubbed, unpeeled and
cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh
ground pepper
1/2 garlic clove, peeled
and finely minced
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Potatoes
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon coarsely
cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped
fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 400
degrees. Lightly coat two
nonstick baking sheets with
nonstick spray. Place potato slices in a shallow bowl;
coat lightly with nonstick
spray. Sprinkle with the salt
and ground pepper. Arrange
potato slices in a single layer
on prepared baking sheets.
Bake until crispy and brown,
20 to 25 minutes. While potatoes are baking, in a large
bowl, stir together remaining
ingredients. When potatoes
are done, add them to the
bowl; toss gently to coat.
Transfer to a basket to serve.
Serve with fresh sourdough
bread, if desired. Recipe from
“Cooking For Heart & Soul,”
a collection of recipes from
San Francisco chefs, edited by Stanley Eichelbaum.
Makes four servings.
8 ounces fresh
cooked crabmeat
2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and cut
into half-inch dice
Juice of 3 to 4 limes
1 small, hot, red chile pepper,
seeded and finely chopped
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
leaves or thinly sliced fresh
mint leaves, or both
Salt and fresh ground
black pepper to taste
In a large bowl, combine crabmeat and mangoes. Toss with remaining
ingredients and serve.
Here’s a simple, easy-tomake seafood salad that cuts
out the mayo and adds delicious benefits. If you can
imagine crab without
all the melted butter,
you can enjoy a low
fat protein source
with a side of potassium. The mangoes
contribute beta
carotene, vitamin C,
fiber, and potassium.
Crab & Mango Salad
There is absolutely no
oil in this salad’s dressing.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Landlord not helping to eradicate bedbugs
Dear Annie: I live
in a rental space with
my aunt and uncle. We
enjoyed it until recently.
Here’s what happened:
During the time we
have been here, the rental
space has had several different managers. All were
nice and tried their best,
but this new manager is
treating us poorly. “Sally”
is evil and rude, and if
she’s right, you’re wrong.
Her attitude toward us
makes us feel terrible.
We pay our rent every
month on time. We try to
keep our rental space as
clean as possible. We are
cordial to our neighbors.
However, when we
got a bedbug infestation,
Sally said it was our fault.
We have heard from previous residents they have
had infestations, as well.
A family had to move out
because of this. Another
needed to have their
rental space exterminated before moving in.
I don’t think Sally
is totally familiar with
infestations. She knew
nothing about bedbugs
and had to read up on
them. She thinks there
is nothing wrong with
blaming us, yet the fact
that others on this property have had infestations
indicates the problem
has been kicking around
for a while, and others
may have bedbugs soon.
She is charging us for
the exterminator, even
though we weren’t the
ones who called him. She
also arranged a follow-up
spray without asking us.
She is making us feel
that we need to leave.
How do we find
out who the owner
is so I can report
Sally? — Concerned
Dear Concerned:
Some unenlightened
landlords blame bedbug
infestations on the residents, but the truth is
that a single infestation
can reappear anywhere
in the entire apartment
complex over and over,
regardless of origin,
which is what may have
happened in your space.
It is necessary for all of
the apartments in the
vicinity to be thoroughly
disinfected, meaning the
neighbors above, below
Sudoku
and on either side.
You can find out who
owns the rental spaces
through your county government offices, which
money or gift cards.
I have heard this is
a common practice
these days. But I think
it’s ill mannered to ask
your guests for money.
What is your take on
this? — Old-Fashioned
in Pennsylvania
Dear Pennsylvania:
The way it works is for
close friends and family
of the bride to pass the
word that cash or gift
cards are preferred, and
not include this in the
shower invitation. It is
should have records
of land ownership. In
Chicago, it would be the
Recorder of Deeds, but
it varies by location.
Dear Annie: My best
friend’s daughter is getting married this summer and has requested
that her mom give her
a bridal shower. Since
the couple has been living together for a while,
they did not register for
gifts and are asking that
the shower invitation
include a suggestion for
also wise for the bride
and groom to register
for a few items, perhaps
from a store they frequent where unwanted
items can be returned
for merchandise credit.
This allows guests who
are uncomfortable giving
money to give something
else. After all, giving
anything is up to the
guest, and the couple
should show gratitude
for whatever is received.

Opening lead: Queen of ♦
Esther was looking forward to
another game with her favorite
partner, Fred. They arrived in three
no trump after a normal auction.
Esther decided to “make a plan,” as
Fred had often encouraged her to do.
She thought she had to win the
opening lead in her hand to preserve
the finesse position over West for the
jack of diamonds. She hadn’t even
considered her entry problems with
the club suit when the waitress
arrived.

“Miss Esther,” said the waitress,
“did you order the regular latte or the
king-size?” “The king, please,” said
Esther. Fred had become a little hard
of hearing and the only thing he
heard was “king, please.” He
dutifully played dummy’s king of
diamonds. Esther was still settling up
with the waitress when she realized
that everyone was waiting for her to
play. She quickly played her ace of
diamonds to win the first trick, not
realizing that dummy’s king was
already winning. She was sick when
she noticed. “Oh, dear,” thought
Esther, “what have I done?”
Esther led the king of clubs from
her hand. East won with the ace and
fired a diamond back, anxious to take
advantage of Esther’s mistake at trick
one. Esther “false-carded” with the
10, losing to West’s jack, and found
herself back on play with the nine of
diamonds when West cleared the suit.
She happily cashed three club tricks,
and settled for nine tricks when the
club nine didn’t fall.
“Nicely done,” said Fred. “Whew,”
thought Esther, “it looks like Fred has
forgiven me for that horrible play at
trick one.”
