Hawaii Supreme Court seeks

A proposed change to the

More and more people come to Hawaii

BIG ISLAND HOLDING ON TO LAST YEAR’S GROWTH, TOURISM EXEC SAYS
BY GRAHAM MILLDRUM
WEST HAWAII TODAY
[email protected]
More and more people are
coming to the state, reports
the Hawaii Tourism Authority,
but visitor expenditures are
remaining flat.
“While the growth in August
was not as strong as in previous months, Hawaii’s visitor
industry continues to exceed
2014 records in spending and
arrivals. Spending reached
$10.3 billion for the first eight
months of 2015 and contributed $1.1 billion in state tax revenue,” said George D. Szigeti,
president and CEO of the HTA,
in a press release.
For the Big Island Vistor’s
Bureau, this change represents
holding on to the strong growth
of last year, said executive
director Ross Birch.
Last year, the island finished
out with a 16.4 percent increase
in total expenditures, he said, a
situtation Oahu is beginning to
experience.
The authority counted
755,863 visitors for the month
of August, a new record. That
2.9 percent increase over the
previous year was boosted by
growth in most major markets, including an 8.8 percent
increase in Canadian visitors
and a 2.4 percent increase
in U.S. East Coast visitors.
There was an overall increase
in Chinese visitors, while the
number of Japanese visitors
remained largely flat. Korea
and other Asian countries saw
a drop in visitors to the islands.
“In addition to pacing at
record-breaking levels, air seats
to the Hawaiian Islands are
at an all-time high, boosting
arrivals from most of our markets. And while we are pleased
with this continued growth for
the lead economic driver for
the state, we are monitoring
various conditions that could
impact our industry. Fuel prices have been dropping, the
international stock market
continues to be in flux, and
economic conditions in both
Europe and Asia have been
unstable. All of these factors
could have a potential impact
on spending and arrivals to the
state,” Sziegeti said.
The Big Island saw an
increase of 2.2 percent, to

UH-Hilo team reassured by NASA’s water find on Mars
BY TOM CALLIS
HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
NASA’s
announcement
Monday that it found evidence
of liquid water on Mars was
reassuring for a University of
Hawaii at Hilo team hoping to
select the landing site for the
first manned mission to the
Red Planet.
John Hamilton, a UH-Hilo

astronomy professor, said
the location where scientists
believe salty water reached the
surface has similar geology
to two sites university faculty
and students are proposing the
space agency send astronauts
to find microbial life and, of
course, liquid water, a necessary ingredient.

showing signs of active hydrology, he said the discovery shows
they are on the right track and
could give their proposal more
attention.
“They found water in this
one spot, but they will find it in
many, many, many others similar to it,” Hamilton said, adding
the team targeted areas with
a good chance of hosting salty
water underneath.

Salty water is more likely to
remain in liquid form on the
planet where temperatures dip
far below zero. While it doesn’t
make the best conditions for
supporting life, there might
still be “extremophiles” who
find it comfortable enough, he
said.

Obama, Putin clash over
differences on Syria’s future
in brief
US says countries pledge 40,000-plus troops
to UN peacekeeping in push to modernize
UNITED NATIONS — President Barack Obama on
Monday announced notable steps to upgrade U.N
peacekeeping, with his administration saying more
than 50 countries have pledged to contribute more
than 40,000 new troops and police to serve in some of
the world’s most volatile areas.
But there was no sign the U.S., which pays a quarter
of the peacekeeping budget, would put more of its own
troops into the field.
The United States chaired a high-level meeting
to strengthen and modernize peacekeeping, whose
nearly 125,000 personnel increasingly face threats
from extremist groups while being severely stretched
in personnel and equipment. Deployments to crises
can take several months.
And a series of sexual abuse allegations against
peacekeepers has brought new concerns about a
long-standing problem that Obama called “an affront
to human decency.”
Obama’s presence at Monday’s meeting, shortly
before his first face-to-face meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of an annual
U.N. gathering of world leaders, was the latest sign of
high-level U.S. interest in the issue.
By JULIE PACE and
VLADIMIR ISACHENKOV
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — U.S.
President Barack Obama and Russian
President Vladimir Putin sharply disagreed Monday over the chaos in
Syria, with Obama urging a political
transition to replace the Syrian president but Putin warning it would be
a mistake to abandon the current
government.
After dueling speeches at the
United Nations General Assembly,
Obama and Putin also met privately
for 90 minutes — their first face-toface encounter in nearly a year.
The discussions, which opened with
a stony-faced handshake, appeared to
do little to ease differences about
reaching a political resolution to end
Syria’s 4½-year civil war. U.S. officials
said that Putin agreed with Obama
about a need for a political transition
in Syria that would include bringing
elements of the Syrian opposition
into the government, but that they
remained at odds about the fate of
Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The U.S. has long called for Assad
to leave power. Russia, meanwhile,
has called Assad’s military the only
viable option for defeating the Islamic
State, a militant group that has taken
advantage of the vacuum created by
the civil war.
Speaking to reporters after the
meeting, Putin suggested Russia
might be willing to join airstrikes
against the Islamic State.
In his address to the U.N. earlier
Monday, Obama said he was open to
working with Russia, as well as Iran,
to bring Syria’s war to an end. He
called for a “managed transition” that
would result in the ouster of Assad.
“We must recognize that there
cannot be, after so much bloodshed, so much carnage, a return to
In 1st congressional appearance since
videos, Planned Parenthood ‘proud’ of fetal
tissue work
WASHINGTON — In Planned Parenthood’s
first congressional appearance since the release
of undercover videos, the group’s president is
defending its provision of fetal tissue for researchers
and castigating Republicans for not investigating
the anti-abortion activists who furtively made the
recordings.
In testimony prepared for a hearing Tuesday, Cecile
Richards said the organization’s donation of tissue
from aborted fetuses is a “minuscule” part of its work
proving health services for women. She said the group
has nearly 700 clinics but obtains fetal tissue in less
than 1 percent of them.
“Planned Parenthood is proud of its limited role in
supporting fetal tissue research,” she said, arguing that
the donations have helped scientists search for cures.
Abortion opponent David Daleiden obtained the
videos by posing as an executive of a fake company
seeking to supply fetal tissue to researchers. Richards
said Daleiden, despite three years of doing that, didn’t
entrap any Planned Parenthood officials into doing
anything illegal.
“It is clear they acted fraudulently and unethically —
and perhaps illegally,” Richards said. “Yet it is Planned
Parenthood, not Mr. Daleiden, that is currently subject
to four congressional investigations” by the GOP-run
Congress.
By wire sources

headquarters. Andrew Harnik/The Associated Press
the prewar status quo,” Obama said.
Putin, however, urged the world to
stick with Assad.
“We believe it’s a huge mistake to
refuse to cooperate with the Syrian
authorities, with the government
forces, those who are bravely fighting
terror face-to-face,” Putin said during
his first appearance at the U.N. gathering in a decade.
Obama and Putin’s disparate views
of the grim situation in Syria left little
indication of how the two countries
might work together to end a conflict
that has killed more than 250,000
people and resulted in a flood of
refugees.
The Syria crisis largely overshadowed the summit’s other discussions
on peacekeeping, climate change and
global poverty.
French
President
Francois
Hollande backed Obama’s call for
Assad’s ouster, saying “nobody can
imagine” a political solution in Syria
if he is still in power. Hollande called
on countries with influence in Syria,
including Gulf nations and Iran, to be
engaged in a transition.
However, Iran — which along with
Russia is a strong backer of Assad
— said the Syrian president must
remain in power to fight extremists.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
said that while Syria’s government
needs reform, the country will fall to
the Islamic States if the international community makes getting rid of
Assad its top goal.
Despite Obama’s staunch opposition to Assad remaining in office, the
U.S. has struggled to push him from
power. Russia has long been a major
obstacle, shielding Assad from U.N.
sanctions and continuing to provide
the Syrian government with weapons.
In fact, Russia has appeared to
deepen its support for Assad in recent
weeks, sending additional military
equipment and troops with the justification that it is helping the government fight the Islamic State. The
military buildup has confounded
U.S. officials, who spent the summer
hoping Russia’s patience with Assad
was waning and political negotiations
could be started.

MARIJUANA: State plans to
issue eight dispensary licenses
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
The state plans to
issue eight dispensary licenses: three on
Oahu, two for Hawaii
County, two for Maui
County, and one for
Kauai County. Each
license will allow the
operation of two production sites and two
retail locations within
the county for which
the license is issued. A
selected applicant may
receive no more than
one license.
Applicants must have
an initial investment of
$1.2 million available,
pay a $5,000 application fee and a $75,000
license fee.
The legislation allows
licensed dispensaries
to begin selling medical marijuana in Hawaii
between July 15 and
Nov. 1, 2016. There are
from 12,000 to 13,000
medical
marijuana
patients in Hawaii.
The interim administrative rules for medical
marijuana dispensaries are currently being
written by a work group
consisting of three attorneys from the Attorney
General’s Office and
leadership from the
Health Department’s
licensing and planning
offices, a deputy director
and the health director.
The Department of
Health has received
roughly 50 to 60 general questions related
to marijuana dispensaries via its website, by
email and phone since
the signing of Act. 241,
spokeswoman
Janet
Okubo said in an email
message Monday.
“The department is
working very diligently to stay on course to
complete the interim
rules by Jan. 4, 2016,”
Okubo said. “Ensuring
the health and safety aspects of this new
program is challenging
as we fast-track this
multi-faceted initiative.”
The rapid turnaround
time is just one of many
reasons
dispensary
applicants need to be
able to consult with an
attorney, said the lawyers pushing for changes to the court’s rules of
conduct.
“It is not surprising

Birch said that the compartive
flat growth also reflects an artifact
of the way data is measured. The
island has drawn in a large number of group events, he said, and
the people in those groups tend to
underreport their costs, as they do
not pay out-of-pocket. However,
they are still filling up rooms and
using transportation, he said.
The increase in direct flights
to Kona included a 13.9 percent
increase in seats and helped boost
the number of U.S. West Coast
arrivals every month so far in
2015. There was also an increase
of 7.1 percent in people who stayed
exclusively in Kona. However, the
number of Japanese arrivals to the
island have shown declines since
the beginning of the year.
Overall, international visitors exclusively to the Big Island
dropped 21.2 percent, with 5,799
people reporting that option.

fisherman swept into ocean
The search for a fisherman swept into
the ocean near Kaloli Point Saturday
afternoon continued Monday.
The 51-year-old man was last seen
at 2:30 p.m. Saturday “floating about
50 yards offshore after being swept
off the cliff into the ocean by high surf
conditions,” said a press release from
the Hawaii Fire Department.
Rescue personnel were alerted
at 2:33 p.m. Saturday and were on
scene by 2:37 p.m. The “search (was)
suspended due to lack of visibility,”
with the last of the 16 personnel
involve back in quarters at 6:08 p.m.
It was resumed Sunday, this time
using 10 personnel.
The HFD Chopper-1, along with a
Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter,
performed an aerial search. The HFD
helicopter covered an area about four
miles north and south, and about a
half-mile offshore of where the man
was last seen.
HFD rescue boat two performed

operations north and south of the
position.
HFD ground teams also searched
the shoreline.
The Coast Guard cutter Kittiwake,
based in Honolulu, also aided in the
search.
In total the local units completed 10
sorties, searched 124 square miles and
deployed a marker buoy.
Operations were halted at nightfall
on Saturday and Sunday nights.
On Sunday the Coast Guard
suspended its search.
“The suspension of an active search
and rescue case is an incredibly
difficult decisions to make,” said Lt.
Kevin Edes, command center chief
at Coast Guard Sector Honolulu in a
press release. “We worked closely with
the Hawaii County Fire Department
and saturated the area in an attempt
to locate the man but, pending further
developments, we have decided to
suspend the active search. Our prayers
go out to his family and friends.”

HANAPEPE, Kauai — A fundraiser is
underway to keep a broken-down truck
in the Kauai art town of Hanapepe.
KITV-TV reported that a 1955 Ford
F-150 has been a fixture in the town
since 1991 when a local artist parked
the truck in front of his gallery, planted
flowers in the bed and painted orange
flames and planets on the doors.
The owner is closing his gallery

wants to raise $3,500 to buy the truck
he’s now looking to sell.
Economic alliance spokeswoman
Judith Page said the truck is an iconic
landmark for the town, which has more
than a dozen galleries as well as an art
festival every Friday night.
She said the truck symbolizes the
area’s status as art capitol of Kauai.

As the remnants of

in some areas Sunday
night and early Monday
morning.
The

record-tying string of
11 storms to impact the
Central Pacific this hurricane season, Niala continued to weaken Monday,
being downgraded to a
tropical depression by 5
a.m. and a “remnant low”
as of 5 p.m.
At 5 p.m., it was about
315 miles southwest of
South Point with maximum sustained winds
of 30 mph. The storm
was moving west-northwest at 9 mph, according to the Central Pacific
Hurricane Center.
The Monday afternoon notice said that
the post-tropical cyclone

the island during that
24-hour period. Waiakea
Uka saw consistent heavy
rain during the entire
72-hour period between
Friday and Monday
mornings, totaling 11.64
inches.
Saddle Quarry, located within the Hilo
Watershed Forest Reserve
about 16 miles mauka of
Hilo, put up the biggest
total during the weekend,
with 16.21 inches of rain.
The heavy rains put
the island under a flood
watch, with flooding closing Kamehameha Avenue
between Ponahawai and
Pauahi streets, as well as
Pauahi Street between
Kamehameha Avenue
and Aupuni Street,
according to a 5:30 a.m.
advisory from the Hawaii
Police Department. The
roads were opened again
at 8:17 a.m., said a police
spokeswoman.
The rainfall was due in
part to a restoration of
the trade wind pattern,
according to National
Weather Service hydrologist Kevin Kodama.
“The trades came back
and we had a lot of shower activity,” he said. “We
had pretty strong trades,
and we had some of the
outer rain bands as Niala
passed to the south of the
Big Island, causing rain.”
Kodama said he expected that showers would
continue this week, dropping to normal levels by
midweek.
“It’ll still be a little bit
rainy, but not quite like it
was the last two or three
days or so,” he said.

EDITORIAL | BLOOMBERG VIEW (TNS)
Peace in
Colombia will
come with a
hefty price tag
A
n agreement reached last Wednesday has
the potential to end the longest civil war
in Latin America. Yet a lasting settlement
in Colombia will depend on economic support
that President Juan Manuel Santos will struggle
to muster — a pressing reality that Colombia’s
partners in peace can’t afford to ignore.
After three years of off-and-on talks in
Havana, the Colombian government and
the rebel group known as Farc resolved the
thorniest issue in negotiations: “transitional

justice,” or how to hold to account those
The golden age of aid
responsible for the worst human-rights
crimes in the conflict. The two sides agreed
to sign a final peace deal by March 23, with
Farc to begin disarming 60 days after that.
Peace is its own reward, of course, especially
after a half-century struggle that has killed more
than 220,000 and displaced millions. At the
same time, peace has real costs — and it won’t
last unless Colombia finds a way to pay them.
There is a cost to disarming, demobilizing
and reintegrating rebels, paramilitaries and
soldiers. (Digging up the land mines sown
across more than half of Colombia’s territory
will cost $200 million alone.) The peace
plan also calls for redistributing land to the
rural population, and restoring or finding
homes for those who have been displaced.
These new burdens will hit Colombia as
it copes with the plunge in oil prices, the
prospect of a rise in U.S. interest rates, and
slackening demand from China. Its economy
is still growing, but so is its deficit, and the
government has just introduced an austerity
budget. Santos can’t afford cuts that might
lead to social unrest: Not all Colombians,
countless numbers of whom have lost family
members in the fighting, back the peace deal.
To pay for peace, Santos will have to accelerate
the pace of economic reforms, beginning
with his effort to raise government revenues.
Colombia’s tax take amounts to 20 percent of
its GDP, low by regional and global standards.
It could recoup as much as 4 percent of its GDP
a year just by cracking down on tax evasion.
Colombia’s allies also have a strong interest
in making a peace agreement stick. Over the
last two decades, the U.S. has given Colombia
nearly $10 billion in aid to battle a narcoinsurgency that came to control roughly half the
country’s cocaine trade. The European Union
has also helped, as have European nations such
W
ASHINGTON —
Bill Gates
is now focused on
the eradication of
malaria, and parasites
everywhere have
reason to fear.
There are, he tells
me, two possible places
to draw a line across
Africa marking the next
northward advance of
malaria elimination. “If
you want to get all of
Zambia,” he explains,
“you also have to get
Katanga” (a portion
of the Democratic
Republic of Congo
where health services
are weak). Clearing
islands such as Papua
New Guinea and
Madagascar, he says,
should be relatively
easy. A new Gates
Foundation report
argues against malaria
containment in favor of
malaria elimination — a
goal that has provoked
skepticism even
among some malaria
experts. Gates wants
to see the plasmodium
at Appomattox.
The billionaire’s main
contribution to global
health is the manner
in which he combines
technology, aspiration,
resources and rigor. It
is the same approach
that has chased the
polio virus across the
world to its redoubts
in Taliban-controlled
regions of Afghanistan
and Pakistan.
Gates both drives and
reflects a remarkable
trend. Over the last 25
years, efforts to help the
global poor have been
massively ambitious and
massively successful.
More than a billion
people have risen out of
poverty. Tens of millions
more are in school, or
have been saved from
infectious diseases.
Child mortality was
halved, then halved
again. More than 9
million people are
on AIDS treatment
in Africa. It is now
possible to set goals in
a number of areas —
malaria elimination, an
AIDS-free generation,
the end of extreme
poverty — and not be
dismissed as a crank.
Following World War
II, America and other
nations organized the
new economic order
by creating durable
institutions such as
the World Bank and
the International
Monetary Fund. In this
generation, a number
of remarkably effective
institutions to fight
poverty and disease
have been created
that most Americans
probably have never
heard of. The President’s
Emergency Plan for
AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The President’s Malaria
Initiative (PMI). The
Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC).
GAVI, the Vaccine
Alliance. The Global
Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis, and
Malaria. And a private
philanthropy, the
Gates Foundation,
belongs on this list
as funder and peer.
This is — implausibly
but truly — the golden
age of aid. These
impressive institutions
have clear goals and
measurement as part
of their DNA. And
they have worked in
the context of eight
broad Millennium
Development Goals
(MDGs) — reducing
by half the proportion
of people suffering
hunger, ensuring
universal primary
education, cutting
child mortality by twothirds, etc. — that were
approved at the U.N.
Millennium Summit
in 2000. The MDGs
didn’t do much directly,
but they allowed the
comparison of progress
among countries,
encouraging appropriate
shame and healthy
competition. And the
goals gave reformers
additional leverage
within countries.
Now the MDGs,
rather confusingly,
have given way, at a
recent U.N. meeting,
to Sustainable
Development Goals
(SDGs). They
demonstrate the U.N.’s
infinite appetite for
acronym and show
evidence of committee
design. There are now
17 goals and 169 targets.
“When I sit with the
head of a country, I
don’t say there are 169
things I want you to
think about,” says Gates,
“I pick, at most, four.”
Yet Gates says he
“feels good about the
SDGs.” And with good
reason. Though less
prioritized, many of
the goals are specific
enough to encourage a
new round of ambition.
During the current U.N.
Summit, for example,
PEPFAR announced
the goal of reducing
HIV infections in young
women — a particularly
vulnerable group — by
40 percent over the next
two years. Officials at
PEPFAR are frankly
unsure how they will
reach that goal. But
it is certain to disrupt
current practices and
drive innovation. That
is also Gates’ intention
by setting out the goal
of defeating malaria in
a generation. “There
was once 1 million dead
[from malaria each
year],” he says, “Now it
is half a million. But the
path from half a million
to zero is not just
more bed nets.” It will
require new methods of
diagnosis and treatment
to stay ahead of the
adapting parasite and
to keep moving the
malaria elimination
line northward in
Equatorial Africa.
Where, outside
the best of corporate
America, do you
see such voluntary,
strategic disruption?
Such commitment to
measured outcomes? It
is the precise opposite
of the way most
people view spending
on global health and
development. But it is
common practice in
the golden age of aid.

Shell move dims oil prospects, delights environmentalists
BY DAN JOLING AND JONATHAN
FAHEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANCHORAGE, Alaska —
Royal Dutch Shell has abandoned its long quest to become
the first company to produce
oil in Alaska’s Arctic waters,
darkening the nation’s longterm oil prospects and delighting environmental groups that
tried to block the project.
After years of effort, Shell is
leaving the region “for the foreseeable future” because it failed
to find enough oil to make further drilling worthwhile.
The company has spent more
than $7 billion on the effort,
slogged through a regulatory
gauntlet and fought environmental groups that feared a
spill in the harsh climate would
be difficult to clean up and devastating to polar bears, walruses, seals and other wildlife.
Shell persisted in hopes of
finding a big new source of
oil revenue and establishing
expertise and a presence in the
Arctic, which geologists estimate holds a quarter of the
world’s undiscovered conventional oil and gas.
The drilling project also held
the hopes of Alaska, which has
seen oil production and revenues decline sharply in recent
years, and the U.S. oil industry,
which looked to Alaska’s offshore Arctic as the next source
of oil big enough to keep the
country among the top three oil
producers in the world along
with Saudi Arabia and Russia.
But Shell drilled to 6,800
feet about 80 miles offshore
in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s
northwest coast and just didn’t
find much.
“Shell continues to see
important exploration potential in the basin, and the area
is likely to ultimately be of
strategic importance to Alaska
and the U.S.,” Marvin Odum,
The Royal Dutch Shell PLC icebreaker Fennica heads up the Willamette River under
protesters hanging from the St. Johns Bridge on its way to Alaska in Portland, Ore., July
30, 2015. DON RYAN/FILE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
director of Shell’s operations
in the Americas, said in a
statement issued late Sunday.
“However, this is a clearly disappointing exploration outcome for this part of the basin.”
Known in the industry as
turning up a “dry hole,” it’s common for exploratory drilling to
find little to no oil, especially in
formations that have not been
explored much in the past.
But Shell’s failure is notable
because it was the only active
drilling project in the sea,
which Shell officials had called
“a potential game-changer,” a
vast untapped reservoir that
could add to America’s energy
supply for 50 years.
As recently as March, an
Energy Department advisory
council called for an immediate
expansion of oil exploration in
the American Arctic to avoid an
increased reliance on imported
oil in the future, in part because
it would take more than a
decade for oil in the Arctic to
be discovered, developed and
brought to market.
Charles Ebinger, senior fellow
for the Brookings Institution
Energy Security and Climate
Initiative, said in an interview
that a successful well by Shell
would have been “a terribly big
deal” because it would have
attracted others to the region.
Though countries are pushing for cleaner energy sources,
analysts predict that the world
will need another 10 million
barrels a day between 2030
and 2040 to meet growing
demand, especially in developing countries, Ebinger said.
The world now consumes 93.6
million barrels of oil every
day.
Regions like the Arctic “are
one of the areas that, if we’re
going to be able to do this, we
need to examine,” he said.
The U.S. Geological Survey
estimates that American Arctic
waters in the Chukchi and
Beaufort seas contain 26 billion
barrels or more of recoverable
oil.
The Arctic’s vast oil and
gas potential is exactly what
worries scientists, who warn
against tapping new sources
of fossil fuels at a time when
the world needs to drastically reduce emissions of carbon
dioxide from fossil fuel consumption in order to prevent
catastrophic changes to the
earth’s climate.
Environmental
groups,
which had staged media campaigns aimed at tarnishing
Shell’s reputation and tried
unsuccessfully to block Arcticbound vessels, reveled in Shell’s
disappointment.
“Big oil has sustained
an
unmitigated
defeat,”
Greenpeace UK Executive
Director John Sauven said.
Shell, which is based in The
Hague, Netherlands, warned
investors that the disappointing well results would lead to
a charge against its earnings
for the third quarter. It did not
disclose the size of the charge
but said the accounting value
of the project is $3 billion, with
another $1.1 billion in commitments to contractors. The
company took charges of $2.1
billion in 2013 and $1.9 billion
in 2014 also as a result of disappointing drilling results in
the U.S.
Shell’s shares were down 3
percent Monday in afternoon
trading, in line with a broad
market decline, to $45.89.
Shell’s share price has fallen
by around a third over the past
year as oil prices have fallen by
half, to about $45 a barrel.
Those weak oil prices are
forcing oil companies around
the world to cancel or delay
new exploration, especially in
risky or high-cost areas. That
was probably a factor in Shell’s
decision to abandon offshore
Alaska.
The Alaskan decision is “an
example of not going forward
with a project because there is
just not enough oil and gas to
make it economic,” said Louise
Cooper, an independent analyst at CooperCity. “If the oil
price rises again and the well
becomes economic, then it can
try again.”
But Miyoko Sakashita,
oceans program director for the
Center for Biological Diversity,
urged Shell not to make another attempt.
“Polar bears, Alaska’s Arctic
and our climate just caught a
huge break,” Sakashita said.
“Here’s hoping Shell leaves the
Arctic forever.”
German prosecutors investigate former VW boss
BY GEIR MOULSON AND
DAVID RISING
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN — German
prosecutors on Monday
opened an investigation
against former Volkswagen
CEO Martin Winterkorn to
establish what his role was
in the emissions-rigging
scandal that has shaken the
world’s largest automaker.
The investigation will
concentrate on the suspicion of fraud committed
through the sale of vehicles with manipulated
emissions data, and aims
to determine who was
responsible, prosecutors
in Braunschweig said in a
statement.
In the German system,
anyone can file a criminal
complaint with prosecutors, who are then obliged
to examine it and decide
whether there is enough
evidence to open a formal
investigation.
In this case, following
the revelations about the
rigged tests, prosecutors in
Braunschweig, near VW’s
headquarters in Wolfsburg,
received about a dozen
complaints, including one
from Volkswagen itself,
said spokeswoman Julia
Meyer.
She said it was too early
to say if and when prosecutors may try and interview Winterkorn himself,
and that she did not know
whether he already had an
attorney to represent him.
She said at this stage,
she could not estimate
how long the investigation
would last.

JENS MEYER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Volkswagen’s CEO since
2007, resigned Wednesday
— days after the world’s
top-selling
carmaker
admitted that it had rigged
diesel emissions to pass
U.S. tests during his tenure.
He said that he was going
“in the interests of the company even though I am not
aware of any wrongdoing
on my part.”
Under German law,
it is not possible to bring
charges against a company,
only against individuals.
Meyer would not elaborate
on specifics of the investigation, and it wasn’t clear
what Winterkorn’s suspected role might be. There was
no immediate comment
from Volkswagen on the
prosecutors’ decision.
Fraud can carry a prison
sentence of up to 10 years
in Germany.
The head of VW’s
Porsche division, Matthias
Mueller, was appointed
Friday as Volkswagen’s new
CEO. He promised to do
everything to win back the
public’s trust.
The company has admitted that it used a piece of
engine software to cheat on
diesel car emissions tests
in the U.S. It will have to
fix programming it has
said is in some 11 million
cars worldwide, far more
than the 482,000 originally identified by U.S.
authorities.
Details on what cars are
involved have emerged
gradually. The group,
which has 12 marques in
all, said Friday that some
5 million cars made by its
core Volkswagen brand
had the diesel engine in
question.
On Monday, Audi said
that 2.1 million of its vehicles also had the engine,
while Czech-based Skoda
said 1.2 million vehicles
were affected.
Volkswagen
shares,
which were pummelled
early last week before recovering some ground, headed
south again on Monday.
They were down 7.1 percent in afternoon Frankfurt
trading at $120.20.

High-tech mammogram tool doesn’t boost cancer detection
BY JONEL ALECCIA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — A high-tech
tool now used on more than 90
percent of U.S. mammograms
doesn’t improve breast-cancer detection and may lead to
missed diagnoses — all while
adding at least $400 million to
the nation’s annual health care
tab, a study by investigators in
Boston and Seattle has found.
Computer-aided-detection
(CAD) for mammography,
which aims to double-check
radiologists’ screening results,
didn’t improve accuracy by any
measure, according to the largest study to date of the controversial tool, published Monday
in the journal JAMA Internal
Medicine.
“This is a perfect example of
something that has taken off
without adequate analysis of the
harms and benefits,” said Diana
S.M. Buist of Seattle’s Group
Health Research Institute, which
helped conduct the National
Cancer
Institute-funded
study by the Breast Cancer
Surveillance Consortium.
An editorial accompanying
the study suggests that Congress
should stop allowing Medicare
to reimburse health care centers for the procedure, and a
University of Washington expert
says women may want to demand
CAD-free mammograms.
“They should not be required
to pay for it,” said Dr. Joann G.
Elmore, a UW professor of medicine who has studied CAD and
specializes in diagnostic accuracy. She was not involved in this
study.
Group Health investigators worked with lead author
Dr. Constance Lehman of
Massachusetts General Hospital
in Boston to analyze more than
625,000 digital mammograms
read by 271 radiologists at 66
sites across the United States
between 2003 and 2009.
The study, which reviewed
mammograms from nearly
324,000 women, found that
radiologists detected cancer
in about four of every 1,000

women — and invasive cancer
in about three of those four —
whether they looked at nearly half a million digital mammograms with CAD or nearly
130,000 without it.
Additionally, among 107
radiologists who interpreted
mammogram results with and
without CAD, the study found
they were more likely to miss
cancers when they used the computer-aided review. Radiologists’
sensitivity, or the proportion of
times they correctly identified
cancer, was 83 percent when
they used CAD — and nearly 90
percent without it.
“What this shows is that when
they used CAD, they did worse,”
Buist said, adding that some
radiologists may use the device
as a crutch.
CAD did detect more noninvasive, stage 0 ductal carcinoma
in situ, or DCIS, but finding
more DCIS does not necessarily improve eventual outcomes
for women, research by the
National Institutes of Health
and others has shown.
About 39 million mammograms, or X-rays of the breast,
are performed in the United
States each year, according
to the federal Food and Drug
Administration. CAD was
approved by the FDA in 1998
and added for reimbursement
by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS)
in 2002. Medicare generally
pays about $7 for a CAD screening, while private insurers can
charge $20 or more.
Within years of the reimbursement ruling, CAD mammography software was installed in
breast-screening centers across
the country. CAD now comes
standard on most mammogram
machines, despite more than a
decade of sharp debate about
how well the device works. The
notion that a computer review
could only improve detection
was too hard to resist, Buist said.
“The bad-news story from
society’s perspective is we’re
spending a lot of money on
something that sounded like a
great idea — and just isn’t,” she
said.
The new, well-designed study
may help settle years of debate,
said Dr. Debra Monticciolo,
chair of the American College
of Radiology’s breast-imaging
commission. Early studies had
suggested CAD might improve
detection by as much as 20 percent, but later research suggested no benefit and the possible
harm.
“I don’t think radiologists
will be that surprised. It’s been
back-and-forth in the literature,”
Monticciolo said.
Many radiologists dislike CAD
screenings, which add tiny signs
marking areas of concern to
ordinary digital breast images,
she said. But the tool often misses areas of true concern while
flagging nonexistent problems,
she added.
“They were trying to give us the
latest technology,” Monticciolo
said. “If you’re asking me in my
own personal practice, most of
us would not feel tremendously
affected by not using CAD. We
do not feel dependent on it.”
But Dr. Stephen Feig, director
of breast imaging and a professor of radiology at the University
of California at Irvine’s School
of Medicine, said it was important not to discount the value of
greater CAD detection of calcification and DCIS.
“DCIS are real cancers,” he
said.
In the editorial accompanying
the study, Dr. Joshua Fenton
of the University of California
at Davis’ Health System, who
specializes in cancer-screening tests, said the study shows
it’s time for the government to
rethink spending public-health
dollars on CAD.
“In a $3 trillion annual health
care system, CAD accounts for
about $1 of every $10,000 spent
on health care,” he wrote, adding: “Congress should therefore
rescind the Medicare benefit for
CAD use.”
Officials with CMS said they
were reviewing the new study
and editorial.
But Dr. Marc Mora, Group
Health’s chief medical director for health-plan specialty
administration, said he’ll take
the results of the study to the
committee that governs payment for about 45,000 mammograms performed there each
year.
“We are likely to stop reimbursing,” he said.
Elmore published a 2007
paper that questioned the effectiveness of CAD and raised
concerns that the device would
result in more false positive
screening results that could lead
to unnecessary treatment for
women.
She said she hopes the new
study may change practice. In
the meantime, she cautioned
that women shouldn’t skip
mammograms because of the
CAD controversy.
“If women do want to get
breast-cancer screening, mammography is the best and only
well-studied
breast-cancer
exam,” she said.
Republican front-runner Trump proposes tax cuts for all
BY JILL COLVIN AND
NICHOLAS RICCARDI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After
weeks of vowing to raise
taxes on “hedge fund guys”
and high-income earners,
Republican
presidential front-runner Donald
Trump unveiled a tax plan
Monday that would cut
rates across the board and
reduce the amount paid by
wealthiest Americans and
corporations into the U.S.
Treasury.
The plan, which Trump
said would “provide major
tax relief for middle-income and for most other
Americans,” appears certain to come with a significant price tag that experts
said would likely add to
the national debt, despite
Trump’s assurances.
“There will be a major
tax reduction,” Trump
said at a news conference
at his Trump Tower skyscraper in Manhattan.
“It’ll simplify the tax code.
It’ll grow the American
economy at a level that it
hasn’t seen for decades,
and all of this does not
add to our debt or our
deficit.”
The
plan
Trump
unveiled proposes eliminating income taxes
entirely for millions of
single Americans earning
less than $25,000 and
married couples earning
less than $50,000 a year.
Individuals would receive
a new one-page form to
send the IRS saying, “I
win.”
Wealthier Americans
would also see large
reductions in their annual tax bill. Under Trump’s
four-bracket plan, the
highest marginal tax rate
would be cut from the
current 39.6 percent to
25 percent.
Business — from
major corporations to
mom-and-pop
shops
— would also see their
rates slashed to no more
than 15 percent, down
from the current corporate tax rate of 35 percent. Trump also said
he would eliminate the
estate tax.
The billionaire real
estate mogul said he plans
to pay for the tax cuts by
eliminating and reducing
unspecified deductions
and loopholes, both on
the “very rich” and corporations. He also wants
to eliminate the so-called
carried interest loophole
that allows managers
of hedge funds and private equity firms to pay a
lower tax rate than most
individuals.
Tax experts rejected
that analysis. Steve Gill,
a tax and accounting professor at San Diego State
University, said his quick
calculation found that as
a group, Americans making more than $200,000
a year would pay $400
billion to $500 billion less
in taxes under Trump’s
plan.
“This is not a serious
plan,” said Michael Strain,
a resident scholar at the
conservative American
Enterprise Institute in
Washington. “He strongly indicated in television
interviews
the
rich
wouldn’t like this plan.
The rich love this plan.”
Trump said the changes he wants to make to
the U.S. tax code would
not add to the annual federal budget deficit
and the overall national
debt, in part because his
plan would bring in new
sources of revenue to the
Treasury.
Among them: a onetime tax of 10 percent
on money corporations
are holding overseas that
is brought back to the
U.S, and the elimination
of the ability of companies to defer taxes on
income earned overseas.
Estimates peg the amount
of money U.S. firms have
overseas at more than $2
trillion, although Trump
said he believes the figure
is far higher.
Trump also predicted
his plan would “create tremendous numbers of jobs”
and spark the economy to
grow at least 3 percent a
year, and as much as 5 or
6 percent. “We’re going to
have growth that will be
tremendous,” he said.
Most economists say
such a high growth rate
is unrealistic. But even
under the most optimistic
scenarios for growth, the
size of Trump’s tax cuts
will keep the government
from raising as much revenue as does the current
tax system, said Ryan
Ellis of Americans for Tax
Reform, a low-tax advocacy group that Trump
consulted as he developed
his proposal.

Iona steals
spotlight
with four
interceptions
NFL
Taking flight
By MATT GERHART
Hawaii Tribune-Herald
Kealakehe coach Sam
Kekuaokalani was among
many at Cougars Stadium
on Saturday night who
had a hard time believing
what they were seeing.
Was that really Sequoia
Iona
with
another
interception?
“Did
he?
What?”
Kekuaokalani remembers
thinking.
Yes, he did, and he did it
with flair.
On Iona’s fourth and
final interception against
Keaau, the senior safety laid inside and baited
quarterback Dilan Santos
into throwing an out, then
he jumped the route and
returned his pick 67 yards
for a score, an exclamation point on a dominating defensive effort for the
Waveriders in a 28-8 BIIF
victory that was closer
than many expected.
“I think I had a magnet in my gloves or something,” Iona said.
He wound up with
as many catches as
Kealakehe’s
receivers
combined.
The touchdown was his
first since he scored one
on offense his sophomore
year on the junior varsity.
Iona said he focused on
offense most of his football
career until he was beat
out for a starting spot last
season – it couldn’t have
been because of his hands.
“There was an opening
on defense and I liked it,”
he said.
Iona was among the
defensive backs who had
a tough day at the office
Sept. 4 at Honokaa as
quarterback Nainoa Falk
compiled more than 400
yards passing.
Against the Cougars, the
secondary made amends
with six interceptions,
including Keanu Alu’s
pick-six.
“We keep statistics and
hang it up in the locker
room,” Iona said. “That
motivated us a lot after
Honokaa.”
The NFL record for
interceptions in a game is
also four. Of the 14 players to accomplish the feat,
Washington’s DeAngelo
Hall did it most recently
in 2010.
Iona could have enjoyed
an even bigger night, but
his touchdown on his
third interception in the
third quarter was brought
back because of a penalty.
“My teammates were
saying, more, more, more,”
he said.
With a big game against
Hilo on the horizon and
a sputtering offense, the
Waveriders (4-1 BIIF
Division I, 5-3) were in
a dogfight with winless
Keaau (0-5 BIIF Division

West Hawaii Today
Kona Boxing Club
hosted Fight Night,
a 12-match kickboxing exhibition at the
Kealakehe High School
gym on Saturday. The
event featured 16 bouts,
including the main event
where Matt Miranda,
of Killa Beex, took on
Byrsen Bolahao, of
Waianae B.C.
The Kona Boxing
Club had several fighters on the card, including Jonah Perez, Cloey
Hanato, Chezarae Calvo,
Kai Heartman, Isaiah
Herbert, Graig Rivera,
Nesha Comesario, Carlos
Garrido and Kekai
Boshard. Two fighters
also made the flight over
from Oahu to compete.
The show was put on
by Sonny Westbrook and
his daughter Natalie.
Sonny is back on the Big
Island after working with
Duane “Dog the Bounty
Hunter” Chapman. This
was his first show in
more than eight years
with the Kona Boxing
Club. Kickboxers ranged
in age from six to 17.
NFL
Panthers acquire Jared Allen from Bears
By STEVE REED
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
The Carolina Panthers
have acquired veteran
defensive end Jared Allen
from the Chicago Bears
in exchange for a 2016
sixth-round draft pick.
The Bears announced the
trade on Monday.
The trade will become
official pending Allen
passing a physical,
Panthers team spokesman Steven Drummond
told The Associated
Press.
“We had some depth at
the linebacker position,”
Bears general manager
Ryan Pace said in a press
release. “… Whether it
is acquiring additional
picks or signing players, we will continue to
be aggressive in finding
ways to improve our football team. We appreciate Jared’s contributions
and wish him the best in
Carolina.”
The Panthers made the
move after their top pass
rusher Charles Johnson
went down with a hamstring injury in Sunday’s
27-22 win over the New
Orleans Saints. Johnson
has already been ruled
out of Carolina’s Week
4 game against the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
although coach Ron
Rivera wouldn’t speculate on the severity of the
injury.
The Panthers lost their
other top pass rusher
Greg Hardy this past offseason when he signed
with the Dallas Cowboys
as a free agent.
FoxSports first reported
the trade.
Panthers coach Ron
Rivera said Monday
night on his weekly
“PantherTalk” radio show
the trade possibility came
about Monday morning.
“We watched a lot of tape
on Allen today and wanted to make sure he’s a fit,”
Rivera said on the show.
“We didn’t want to wait
when we found out there
was an opportunity.”
NFL: Packers defense picks up seven sacks
continued from page 1B
performance for the
MVP quarterback.
The Packers controlled
the line of scrimmage
when it counted and got
to Alex Smith for seven
sacks.
Smith finished 24 of
40 for 290 yards and a
touchdown.
Under pressure near
his own end zone, Smith
also threw an interception to Sam Shields at
the Chiefs 19 with about
7 minutes left in the third
quarter. Shields returned
it 15 yards, and on the
next play, Rodgers found
Cobb for a 4-yard touchdown and a 31-7 lead.
Rodgers and Cobb
hooked up for another
4-yard scoring pass in the
fourth. With the score,
Rodgers set the franchise
record with his fourth
career game of at least
five touchdown passes.
Kansas City stopped its
long streak of no touchdown receptions by a
receiver when Jeremy
Maclin hauled in a 5-yard
TD pass with 56 seconds
left in the third quarter
to get the Chiefs within
31-14.
It was the first touchdown pass caught by a
receiver since Donnie
Avery had a 79-yard
catch-and-run against
the Indianapolis Colts in
a wild card game on Jan.
4, 2014.
A week after fumbling
twice, Charles had a
little fun with his own
Lambeau Leap into the
awaiting arms of Chiefs
fans following his 4-yard
TD run in the fourth
quarter.
Otherwise, the Packers
prevented Charles from
making explosive plays,
limiting him to 49 yards
on 11 carries.
For Green Bay, Jones
finished with seven
catches for 139 yards and
a score. He had a 52-yard
catch in the fourth quarter off a free-play situation following a defensive
penalty that set up Cobb’s
third touchdown catch.
a hospital for observation.
Carpenter singled with
one out and scored all
the way from first when
Pittsburgh right fielder
Gregory Polanco overran
Jay’s hit and center fielder Andrew McCutchen
couldn’t pick the ball up
cleanly.
Reynolds then drilled
his 12th homer of the
year to give closer Trevor
Rosenthal some cushion for his 48th save.
Jonathan Broxton (4-5)
earned the win.
Pittsburgh,
already
assured of a wild-card
berth, left 16 runners
on base while falling
four games behind the
Cardinals with five to go.
Pittsburgh has been
relentlessly chasing frontrunning St. Louis for five
months. Heading into the
final week of the regular
season, the Pirates finally
had their chance to catch
the Cardinals if they could
earn a three-game sweep
at home in a matchup of
the teams with the two
best records in the majors.
Instead, St. Louis did
what it has done all year,
relying on its pitching
and just enough hitting to
keep Pittsburgh at bay.
The Cardinals survived
on a night they issued
10 walks. Pittsburgh put
runners on base in every
inning except the first,
but none could find their
way home on a night the
Pirates went 0 for 12 with
runners in scoring position, including 0 for 3 in
the ninth with the tying
run at the plate.
St. Louis starter Lance
Lynn labored his way
through five scoreless
innings, most of them
out of the stretch while
the Pirates kept wasting
opportunities to take control. Starling Marte was
nailed at the plate to end
the second while trying
to score on a shallow fly
to center by Jordy Mercer
as Jason Heyward’s throw
beat the speedy Marte by
three steps.
Marte then struck out
with the bases loaded to
end the third. Polanco led
off the fifth with a double only to run into an
out at third on a chopper to shortstop by Josh
Harrison. Lynn needed 96
pitches to retire 15 batters, walking four with six
strikeouts.
Pittsburgh starter J.A.
Happ, a revelation since
being acquired at the
non-waiver trade deadline from Seattle, was
decidedly more efficient.
The lefthander allowed
only Kolten Wong’s single
leading off the third.
Otherwise, he was
dominant, striking out
four and needing only
56 pitches to get through
six shutout innings to
lower his ERA to 2.04
in 10 starts with the
Pirates. Happ was lifted
for pinch-hitter Michael
Morse with two outs and
two on in the sixth. Morse
walked to load the bases,
but St. Louis reliever Seth
Maness got Polanco to hit
a routine fly to right to
end the threat.

pitched Minnesota to a big win
for its wild-card chances.
Hughes, one of several Twins
players hit with a virus that has
spread throughout the team,
was scratched about 4 hours
before the game. Milone (9-5),
removed from the rotation two
weeks ago, stepped in and
allowed two runs in 5 2-3 innings.
Minnesota (81-75) began
the day trailing Houston by
1 1/2 games in the race for
the second AL wild card. The
Astros played later in Seattle.
Cleveland (77-78) was four
games behind the Astros
before its costly defeat.
Kevin Jepsen worked the
ninth for his 14th save.
Corey Kluber (8-16) allowed
four runs in six innings and
lost to Minnesota for the
second time in a week.
CUBS 1,
ROYALS 0
CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter
Chris Denorfia led off the 11th
inning with a home run, lifting
the Cubs to the victory.
Denorfia drove the first pitch
from Miguel Almonte (0-2)
into the left-field bleacher for
the Cubs’ major league-leading 13th walk-off victory of
the season. It was Denorfia’s
third homer of the season.
Fernando Rodney (2-0)
pitched a scoreless top of
the 11th to get the win.
The homer ended a pitcher’s
duel that was a makeup of a
May 30 rainout. Both teams
combined for eight hits.
BLUE JAYS 4,
ORIOLES 3
BALTIMORE — The Blue Jays
edged closer to clinching the
AL East title, getting a homer
from Edwin Encarnacion
and scoring a ninth-inning
run to secure a comeback
victory over the Orioles.
Toronto’s fifth straight victory,
coupled with the Yankees’
loss to Boston, reduced the
Blue Jays’ magic number for
securing the division to two.
After scoring twice in the eighth
to pull even, the Blue Jays got the
decisive run against Brad Brach
(5-3). Dioner Navarro led off with
a single, and was replaced by
Dalton Pompey, who advanced
on a single. After a sacrifice
moved the runners up, Pompey
scored when Justin Smoak hit
a dribbler to first and Chris
Davis threw wildly to the plate.
Brett Cecil (5-5) pitched one
inning and Roberto Osuna got
two outs for this 20th save.
Ryan Flaherty hit a threerun homer for the Orioles,
who have lost four straight.
TIGERS 7,
RANGERS 4
ARLINGTON, Texas – Justin
Verlander allowed one run in
six innings, and Tyler Collins’
three-run home run sparked
a five-run fifth inning as the
Detroit Tigers beat Texas 7-4
on Monday night, handing the
Rangers their third straight loss.
It’s Texas’ longest losing
streak since mid-August. The
Rangers went into Monday’s
play leading the AL West by 2
1/2 games over the Astros, who
played later Monday at Seattle.
Verlander (5-8) gave up a
leadoff homer to former Detroit
teammate Prince Fielder in the
fourth. He allowed six hits and
walked two while striking out five.
Collins, who graduated from
Justin Northwest High School
about 45 minutes from Globe
Life Park, pulled his fourth
homer of the season down the
right field line to break a 1-1 tie.
The homer followed a leadoff
single by Dixon Machado and
a double by Anthony Gose.
Colby Lewis (17-9) allowed six
runs on 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings,
his shortest outing since June 5.
ASTROS 3,
MARINERS 2
SEATTLE – Chris Carter drove in
the go-ahead run with Houston’s
third solo homer, rookie Lance
McCullers pitched effectively
into the seventh inning and the
Astros enhanced their position
in a crowded AL playoff race with
their 3-2 victory over the Seattle
Mariners on Monday night.
Houston moved with 1 1/2
games of first-place Texas in the
AL West and maintained its slim
lead in the chase for the second
wild card. The Rangers lost 7-4
at home to the Detroit Tigers.
Carter snapped 2-all tie
in the seventh with his 23rd
home run, a two-out shot to
left off Danny Farquhar (1-6).
McCullers (6-7) allowed two
runs and four hits in six-plus
innings. He struck out seven
and walked two, including a
free pass to start the seventh.
Luke Gregerson struck out
Nelson Cruz and Robinson Cano
in the ninth for his 30th save.
ANGELS 5,
ATHLETICS 4
RED SOX 5,
YANKEES 1
NEW YORK — Eduardo
Rodriguez became the first Red
Sox rookie left-hander to win 10
games in 43 years, and Boston
slowed the Yankees’ march
toward a postseason berth.
The Yankees had a chance
to clinch their first playoff
appearance since 2012 with
a win — what would’ve been
their 10,000th franchise victory
— and losses by Minnesota,
Texas and the Angels.
But scoreboard watching was
rendered unnecessary when
Travis Shaw and Jackie Bradley Jr.
each hit A two-run homer off Ivan
Nova (6-10). New York managed
little offense after Alex Rodriguez’s sacrifice fly in the first.
New York dropped five
games behind Toronto in the
AL East with six to play.
Eduardo Rodriguez (10-6)
pitched six innings while
supplanting John Curtis,
who went 11-8 in 1972, as the
most recent Boston rookie
lefty to reach 10 wins.
NATIONALS 5,

for the season: He will miss
four games because he was
suspended by the Nationals for
the episode in which he grabbed
Harper’s throat, and the other
three games because he dropped
his appeal of a Major League
Baseball ban for throwing at an
opponent’s head last week.
Reds starter Brandon
Finnegan (1-2) allowed
three runs in five innings.
WASHINGTON — On another
eventful afternoon at Nationals
Park, Washington right-hander
Max Scherzer came within
five outs of his second no-hitter of the season hours after
closer Jonathan Papelbon was
suspended for fighting with
Bryce Harper a day earlier.
Scherzer (13-12) did not
allow a hit until Tucker Barnhart
singled to left field on a 1-2
count with one out in the eighth.
That came on Scherzer’s 105th
pitch, and fans at the stadium
rose to salute the right-hander
with a standing ovation. To that
point, the Reds only had three
baserunners, on walks in the
first, third and seventh innings.
Papelbon, meanwhile, is done
ANAHEIM, Calif. – Pinch-hitter
David Murphy drove a bases-loaded single into left field to end it,
and the Los Angeles Angels kept
the pressure on in the AL wildcard race with their sixth consecutive victory, 5-4 over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
Albert Pujols tied it with his
558th career homer in the
sixth inning for the Angels,
who have won nine of 11
during their majors-best 17-8
performance in September
Johnny Giavotella and Erick
Aybar had early run-scoring
doubles as the Angels (82-74)
remained a half-game behind
the Houston Astros (83-74), who
won at Seattle, and one game
ahead of the Minnesota Twins
(81-75), who beat Cleveland.
Los Angeles also closed
within just two games of the
AL West-leading Rangers
(84-72), who lost to Detroit.
The Angels finish the season
with four games at Texas.
Giants 3
Dodgers 2
SAN FRANCISCO – Zack Greinke and the NL West-leading Los
Angeles Dodgers were denied a
playoff-clinching party for at least
another day, losing to the World
Series champion San Francisco Giants 3-2 on pinch-hitter
Alejandro De Aza’s 12th-inning
sacrifice fly Monday night.
Andre Ethier hit a tying
groundout in the top of the ninth,
then the rivals needed three
more innings to decide this one.
With the Dodgers employing a
five-man infield, De Aza hit a fly
to left against Adam Liberatore
for a victory that prevented San
Francisco from being eliminated from the pennant race.
Yimi Garcia (3-5) took the loss.
Los Angeles lost its fourth
straight game after a weekend sweep at Colorado.

I, 0-6) until Alu’s 54-yard
interception return for
a score late in the third
quarter gave Kealakehe a
14-0 lead.
Kealakehe led only 7-0
at halftime after committing four turnovers and
having a bizarre firstand-goal sequence at the
end of the second quarter in which quarterback
Anthony “Head” Trevino
threw three catchable
balls into the end zone
that were all dropped.
“Our defensive coordinator (Steve Cox) at halftime said we needed to
score points,” Iona said.
“He said the offense can’t
get it done, so we’re going
to have to do something.
We needed to step up,
and that’s what we did.”
Kealakehe forced eight
turnovers in all, registered six sack and held

the Cougars to negative
rushing yardage. That
was enough to ensure
a three-score victory
despite Kealakehe turning the ball over six times.
“Our defense had our
backs,” Kekuaokalani
said.
Senior running back
Kobe Antolin accounted
for the Waveriders’ two
offensive touchdown,
gaining 140 yards on a
muddy field, and Mason
Kaawa-Loa rushed for 59
yards.
Trevino and Markus
Degrate each saw time
at quarterback and
threw an interception,
and Degrate’s 45-yard
completion to Trevino
highlighted Kealakehe’
only sustained drive of
the game that produced
points.
“Those mistakes really
killed us, but the important thing was to stay
focused on the next task,”
Kekuaokalani said. “That
was the key.”
The Waveriders’ next
challenge on offense is to
prepare for an improving
Vikings’ defense that has
allowed only 12 points
in its last three games.
Kealakehe was shut out
twice last season by Hilo,
which rolled to its second
consecutive BIIF title.
They’ll meet again at
7:30 p.m. Friday at Wong
Stadium, and the winner will earn home-field
advantage in the playoffs.
“We’ve got some work
to do,” Kekuaokalani
said. “We’ve got a lot of
work to do.”
As it does after every
game, one of Kealakehe’s
first orders of business
this week will be to hang
a new statistic in the
locker room.
“It has to be a 4,”
Kekuaokalani said.

GRAZING ON THE ‘RANGE’
BY GENNY WRIGHT-HAILEY
SPECIAL TO WEST HAWAII TODAY
Merriman’s Kahua Ranch lamb jook
According to Chef Neil Murphy of Merriman’s, this dish is
very popular at their restaurant on Maui, and is said to sustain
you through hours of surfing. Brought to Hawaii by immigrant
Chinese plantation workers, a little bit of Jook could feed
many people. Ground lamb can be substituted for the loin.
1 lb. pasture-raised lamb loin, cleaned and
sliced thin (they use Kahua Ranch lamb)
4 teaspoons soy sauce
4 teaspoons sherry
3 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons minced or grated ginger
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl; add thinsliced lamb and marinate in refrigerator.
3/4 cup white rice, Japanese or Jasmine
4 cups water
4 1/2 cups reduced lamb stock, or
reconstituted chicken bouillon cubes
1 tablespoon salt
In a medium pot, combine rice, water, stock and salt.
Bring to a boil; reduce to simmer, cover pot with a lid 3/4
of the way. Cook 50 to 60 minutes. Stir in lamb; cook
for two minutes. Serve in a large bowl, garnished with
a mix of mung bean sprouts, cilantro, chopped green
onions, thin-sliced Maui onions, and a tablespoon of
sambal oil (a 3:1 ratio of sambal to canola oil, blended).

Miso marinated beef skirt steak with
gingered rice and pickled peach
This recipe by Chef Scott Hiraishi of The Feeding Leaf,
requires some advance preparation and makes 10 servings.
Beef:
5 pounds grass-fed skirt steak
1 cup miso
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon diced ginger
Combine ingredients in bowl; marinate beef overnight.
When ready to cook, grill the beef to medium rare.
Gingered rice:
One or two fingers fresh ginger, peeled
1 cup cooked edamame
3 cups hot cooked rice (Hinode/
Calrose white rice, medium grain)
In food processor, blend ginger and edamame
until a green paste forms. Fold mixture into rice.
Pickled peach:
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 pieces LiHing Mui
2 or 3 fresh peaches
Combine first four ingredients in a large jar;
add peaches and soak for about two weeks.
To assemble:
Divide rice into 10 portions. Top each portion with slices
of skirt steak, then top each with a slice of pickled peach.
Guava barbeque pork ribs
This recipe by Executive Chef Ronnie Nasuti of
Tiki’s Grill & Bar on Oahu will make 2 to 4 servings.
2 1/2 gallons water
1 finger fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 rack pork ribs (9 to 12 bones)
1 cup Rib Rub (recipe follows)
3 cups Guava BBQ Sauce (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds (optional)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (optional)
Fill a large pot with the water; add the ginger and place pork
ribs into pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer
for one hour. Check ribs for tenderness: if a bone will easily
slip out of the meat, remove from pot. If not, simmer and
check every 15 minutes until bone slips easily. After removing
ribs from pot, and while still hot, coat both sides with the
Rib Rub, then coat evenly with Guava BBQ Sauce. Reserve
some of the BBQ sauce. Refrigerate ribs for one hour, until
completely cold through center. Slice ribs into individual
pieces; reheat on a grill, basting with remaining sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.

1 1/4 cups ketchup
3/4 cup guava jelly
In a six-quart pot, saute’ onions and bacon; deglaze

This fall, get French onion soup
off the stove, onto a grill
BY ELIZABETH KARMEL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
When a friend asked me if I could
create a hearty fall soup that begins
on the grill, at first I was stumped.
I love making grilled gazpacho;
it’s a regular in my summer rotation.
But a cold tomato soup hardly is fit
for fall. So I started thinking about
my favorite soups, wondering which
one would benefit from some time on
the grill. All of the sudden, it came
to me — French onion soup! French
onion soup is my favorite meal in a
bowl. It is the first thing I eat when
I find myself in Paris and I order it
whenever I see it on a restaurant menu.
But up until now, I never have been
happy with the versions I made at
home. With this new grilled recipe, all
that has changed! I no longer need to
cross the pond to have a great soup.
The soup is all about the broth, but
I rarely have homemade beef stock on
hand, so I needed to create a version
that would compensate for using a
boxed broth. I started by making one
of my signature side dishes, “forgotten
onions.” Forgotten onions are onions
that are grilled (and forgotten) over
indirect heat in their papery skins
until they are deeply caramelized and
almost collapse in on themselves.
This slow grill-roasting intensifies
all the sweetness in the onions and
eliminates the sharpness, making
them something you will want to eat
Grilled French onion soup. MATTHEW

like a baked potato. To this, I decided
to add roasted garlic to increase
the depth of flavor of the broth.
Once the onions and the garlic
are grilled, the soup comes together
quickly. The peeled onions are sauteed
in a little butter and “melt” into small
pieces. The sweet roasted garlic mixes
with the caramelized onions to create
a rich base for the soup. Add the beef
broth and full-bodied red wine and
that’s almost all there is to it! But be
forewarned, as simple as this soup
is, the smell of it simmering on the
stove will bring everyone running to
the kitchen. It smells that good!
The key to this soup is to make it a
day ahead to give the flavors time to
truly meld. This soup also can be frozen
and reheated, adding the bread and
the cheese topping just before serving.

Kosher salt and

2 cups low-sodium
chicken or vegetable
broth, warmed to hot
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
Heat the oven to 400
F. Line a baking sheet
with kitchen parchment.
Start to finish: 3 hours
active (30 minutes active)
Servings: 8
3 large heads of garlic
Olive oil
Kosher salt
4-pound bag sweet onions
(7 to 8 large), not peeled
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 quart beef stock
2 cups red wine
1 1/2 tablespoons
packed brown sugar
Generous pinch of white
pepper, plus more to taste
8 thick slices of French bread, left
out to get stale or dried in the oven
1 pound grated Gruyere
or comte cheese
Prepare a grill for medium heat,
indirect cooking. For a charcoal
grill, this means banking the hot
coals to one side of the grill and
cooking on the other side. For a gas
grill, this means turning off one or
more burners to create a cooler
side, then cooking on that side.
Remove the first layer of papery
skin from each head of garlic. Slice
off the top 1/2 inch from the top of
each head. Set each head on a large
square of foil, then drizzle with oil
and sprinkle with salt. Loosely wrap
the foil up around the garlic, crimping
it to seal. Set on the cooler side of
the grill. Add the onions to the same
side of the grill. Cover the grill.
Cook the garlic for 40 to 60
minutes, or until the cloves are golden
brown and soft. Grill the onions for 60
to 90 minutes, or until the skins are
dark and the sugars have caramelized
and blackened. When the garlic is
cooked, remove from the grill and
cool. Open the packets and squeeze
the cloves from the skins and into
a small bowl. When the onions are
cooked, remove from the grill and
set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a heavy 6-quart
stock pot over medium heat, melt
the butter. Trim the ends off the
onions, then peel and remove the
outer skins. Chop each into large
pieces, then add to the butter. Saute
for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the reserved roasted garlic
and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir
well to combine, then cook for an
additional 3 minutes, or until well
mixed. The onions will separate into
small pieces and look almost melted.
Add the beef stock, red wine, brown
sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer for 30
minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Let cool, then refrigerate. The
next day, bring soup to a boil
for 5 minutes before serving,
stirring occasionally. Taste and
adjust seasonings if necessary.
Just before serving, heat
the oven to broil.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe mugs
or bowls about three-quarters of the
way full. Place a piece of the stale
bread on top of each serving, then
top that with a generous handful of
the cheese. Place the soup bowls
on a baking sheet and place on
the oven’s bottom shelf and cook
for 2 to 3 minutes, or until brown
and bubbly. Enjoy immediately.

BY SARA MOULTON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
This time of year, with the weather getting colder, I love to serve soup for supper.
It’s an easy sell at my house, where The
Husband is a soup-aholic. But with a soup
this good, I firmly believe you can sell anyone on it. The trick is to amp up the flavor,
vary the texture, and make it substantial.
Here I started by roasting — not boiling —
the cauliflower. Roasting eliminates excess
water, brings the natural sugars to the fore, and
concentrates the flavors (adding some nuttiness in the process). Next, I make sure not to
obscure the cauliflower’s flavor with too many
other ingredients. Yes, there is onion and garlic,
but they play only supporting roles. Likewise,
the stock, diluted with water, is designed not
to overwhelm. The greens — because they’re
not pureed, and not added until the very end
— pack a satisfying little punch of their own
without compromising the cauliflower taste.
You may notice that there’s no dairy in this
recipe. While it’s true that dairy adds luxuriousness to a soup’s texture, it also tends to blot
out flavor, particularly delicate vegetable flavors. That’s why I almost always leave it out.
Similarly, there’s no flour or cornstarch
here. This soup owes its rich thickness to the
pureeing of some of the cauliflower, onion
and garlic in the company of a lone Yukon
Gold potato (for silkiness). I’d always rather thicken a soup by pureeing some of its
ingredients than by adding flour or another
starch. Starchy thickeners are distracting.
The right tool for pureeing a soup is a blender. Neither a food processor nor an immersion blender will make it quite as smooth.
Just take care not to pack the blender with
too much hot soup at a time. Fill it no more
than a third full for each batch, otherwise you
may end up wearing it (and that can burn!).
At the end of the recipe, to provide some
crunchy contrast to the creamy base, I added
roasted cauliflower florets. Finally, there are
those garlicky cheese rye toasts — Yum! — which
4 ingredients and 20 minutes
are all you need for great soup

Grilled french onion soup
Ditch the dairy to make the most
flavorful, creamy soup
Roasted cauliflower and
greens soup with cheesy rye toasts
Start to finish: 1 hour (35 minutes active)
Servings: 4
1 head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds)
3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
1 cup sliced yellow onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 medium Yukon Gold potato (about
3 to 4 ounces), thinly sliced
3 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
5 ounces baby greens (such as kale, spinach, arugula, mustard or a mix)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Ground black pepper
4 slices rye bread
1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oven to 450 F.
Cut off and discard the tough bottom of the cauliflower
stem. Separate 3 cups of small cauliflower florets (each
about 1/2 inch in diameter) and set aside. Cut the rest
of the cauliflower into 1-inch pieces, then mound them
on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of
the olive oil and sprinkle with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Toss well to coat, then spread in an even layer. Roast
on the oven’s middle shelf, stirring once or twice, until
it is golden brown at the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
In a large saucepan over medium, heat 1 tablespoon
of the remaining oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring
occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the
garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the potato,
the roasted cauliflower, the broth and water. Simmer the
mixture until the potato is tender, about 15 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, on the rimmed sheet
pan, toss the reserved florets with 2 teaspoons of
oil and about 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Roast until they
are golden brown and tender, about 20 minutes.
Transfer the hot soup in small batches to a blender
and blend until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan, stir in the greens and simmer until they are wilted
and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted florets
and cook for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Adjust the consistency, as
desired, with an additional splash or two of water.
Brush the rye bread with the remaining tablespoon of
oil and toast on the oven’s middle shelf until golden, about
5 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the toasts and
return to the oven and bake for another 2 minutes. Ladle the
soup into serving bowls and serve each portion with a toast.

The finished product is a tasty, hearty,

if you use vegetable broth, it’s vegetarian,

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Son remains guilty until proven innocent
Dear Annie: I am a
20-year-old male who
currently lives with my
parents. I just started
my first year of college.
Both of my parents
have prescriptions to
Xanax. When I was
15, I took a few from
my dad’s bottle. My
parents labeled me a
thief and an addict. I
knew it was wrong and
haven’t done it since. I
thought we had moved
on from that incident,
but my mother called
me at work and asked
whether I had taken
60 of her Xanax. I had
no idea what she was
talking about and said
I hadn’t touched her
pills. She insisted that
I stole them and sold
them, and wouldn’t hear
anything other than
an admission of guilt.
I honestly have no idea
what happened to her
pills, but I feel terrible
that my mother believes
I stole from her. No
matter how many times I
proclaim my innocence,
they assume I’m guilty.
What else can I say? —
Guilty by Accusation
Dear Guilty: Nothing,
really. You said you didn’t
do it, and unless evidence
surfaces that someone
else took the pills (or
they were misplaced),
your parents will think
you are the guilty party.
We suggest you sincerely
apologize for giving
them cause to mistrust
you because of your past
behavior. But understand
that it may not convince
them of your innocence.
Once trust is broken,
it is difficult to regain.
It will take a great
deal of time for your
parents to see you as a
responsible, trustworthy
person. Consider this
a goal for the long
haul. It’s worth it.
Dear Annie: Many
years ago, you published
my piece, “Hold Fast the
Summer,” that I wrote
when my son went off
to college. Now a third
grandchild is going off
to college. Could you
print it again for all
the parents who are
sending kids to places
Sudoku
of higher learning?
— Mary W. Abel
Dear Mary Abel: With
pleasure. Here it is:
Time will lace
my thoughts with
joyous years.
The walls will echo his
“Hello.” His caring will
be around each corner.
His tears will be tucked
into our memory book.
Life calls him
beyond our reach —
to different walls.
New faces, shiny halls,
shy smiles, many places.
Greater learning
— he must go.
But wait, before he
”Hold Fast the
Summer”
by Mary W. Abel
Hold fast the summer.
It is the beauty of the
day and all it contains.
The laughter and
work and finally the
sleep. The quiet.
Oh September, do
not put your weight
upon my mind.
For I know he
will be going.
This son of mine who is
now a man — he must go.
leaves, be sure he
knows you love him.
Hide the lump in your
throat as you hug him.
He will soon be
home again — but he
will be different.
The little boy will
have disappeared.
How I wished I
could take September
and shake it, for it
came too soon.
I must look to the
beauty of each new day,
and silently give thanks.

CELEBRITIES BORN ON
THIS DAY: Erika Eleniak, 46;
Roger Bart, 53; Bryant Gumbel,
67; Jerry Lee Lewis, 80.
Happy Birthday: It’s time to
tie up loose ends. Making a difference in your community or to
the people you love will bring you
satisfaction and help provide you
with the experience to make positive changes to the world around
you. Expect emotional matters to
surface, forcing you to confront
the personal issues you’ve thought
about for so long. It’s onward and
upward. Your numbers are 8, 12,
21, 25, 33, 39, 47.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Emotional decisions will be clouded by false information. Make sure
your motives and plans are realistic. Question what someone tells
you. Make personal changes that
will separate you from the competition. Someone special will make
a positive move on your behalf.
3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Expand your interests and get
involved in events or activities
that are geared toward learning
and trying new things. A personal problem with a lover, child or
friend will leave you emotionally
uncertain regarding your future.
Don’t make physical alterations
without proper research. 3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
Get out and engage in activities
that will put you in contact with
new and exciting people, but don’t
overspend. A personal improvement will bring you closer to
someone you love. Don’t let the
changes others make influence
you. 3 stars
CANCER
(June
21-July
22): Focus on making personal improvements, not trying to
change others. Opposition will
mount if you criticize others or try
to control someone you live with.
Spend more time with the people
you love most. 4 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You
will discover information that will
change your course of action and
the way you feel about others and
your future prospects. Indulge in
something that will update your
look or improve your state of
mind. Travel plans can be made.
5 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Make time for some lively entertainment, or get involved in a
physical activity that will motivate
you to stay in shape. As long as you
don’t overdo it, you will maintain
a healthy and happy mental, emotional and physical outlook. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You
will be prone to changing your
mind and dealing with people
who don’t agree with the way you
would like to do things. Consider
the ways you can compromise and
still get what you want or need to
get ahead. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Broaden your outlook and consider how you can alter the way
you live in order to make personal
or professional gains. Choose to
do things differently, and you will
stand out in competitive situations
and be more satisfied. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): You can talk your way into a
deal, a new position or someone’s
heart. Your outgoing, spontaneous
nature will bring plenty of action
your way. A chance to make a positive change to your appearance
will boost your ego. Love is in the
stars. 5 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Stick to what you know and
do best. If you are too engaged
in doing all the talking and don’t
listen to others, you will end up in
an emotional situation that will try
your patience. Make an unusual
investment and it will pay off. 2
stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Talk about change and then put
your plans into motion. A chance
to try out something that has been
hyped up to sound amazing will
end up disappointing you. Look
for alternatives and you will come
up with something better. 2 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Don’t let your personal matters
disrupt your productivity or professional dealings. Focus on equality and keeping everything you get
involved in fair and just. It’s always
better to give and take if you want
to keep the peace and be successful. 4 stars
Birthday Baby: You are
unique, proactive and engaging.
You are curious and adaptable.

It is easy for a defender to take a
nap when it looks like the defense is
a simple one. The defense is not
always so easy, however, from partner’s side of the table, and a defender
should always keep this in mind.
The opening heart lead was covered by the king in dummy and the
ace from East. East shifted to the jack
of diamonds, covered by declarer’s
king, and won by West with the ace.
West followed by cashing the queen
of diamonds. East discarded the
seven of clubs, certain that West
would now lead a club to his ace for
the setting trick.
West had a legitimate problem.
Should East hold the king of spades,
rather than the ace of clubs, a third
diamond was necessary to defeat the
contract. The seven of clubs discard
from East was not a clear-cut signal
— it might have been East’s lowest
club. After agonized thought, West
played another diamond. South gleefully ruffed high in dummy, and later
discarded both of dummy’s clubs on
his good diamonds — making four!
It’s easy to fault East for discarding
the seven of clubs. Surely a discard of
the 10 would have sent a clearer message. The fault does lie with East, but
not for the seven of clubs. East
should not have discarded a club at
all, but rather ruffed partner’s queen
of diamonds and cashed the ace of
clubs! Why have partner do something that you can do just as easily
yourself.
