BIG ISLAND IN ‘WEIRD’
MOIST SITUATION
BY JOHN BURNETT
HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
Unseasonably dry weather
marked most of January and
February, but March — historically the rainiest month in Hilo
— has been delivering the wetter, colder winter weather East
Hawaii residents have come to
expect.
As of 1 p.m. Sunday, March
was even wetter than usual,
with 6.9 inches having fallen
this month at Hilo International
Airport. That’s more than twice
the norm of 3.26 inches for the
period, and brings the year-todate rainfall total to 14.99 inches. That’s still seven-plus inches
less than the norm of 22.08
inches, mostly due to a record
23 days without measurable
rainfall from late January into

Lending a helping hand
HONOLULU — Two
federal assistance programs
are
holding
up money for Native
Hawaiian housing on
parts of Hawaii Island
because of unexploded
World War II bombs and
other munitions that have
not been cleaned up.
The Honolulu StarAdvertiser reports the
freeze is affecting a $2 million grant for infrastructure work at a Hawaiian
homestead development
in Waimea.
Also,
the
U.S.
Department of Housing
and Urban Development
has stopped issuing loan
guarantees in the affected
areas.
Waimea
Hawaiian
Homesteaders’
Association
President
Michael Hodson calls it a
major concern.
Five homestead communities are within two
sections of the Big Island
contaminated with old
munitions.
The two sections cover
about 100,000 acres and
that were used for military
training exercises during
World War II.

WEST HAWAII TODAY | MONDAY, MARCH 9, 2015
IN BRIEF | NATION & WORLD
Thousands commemorate
Selma bridge clash
SELMA, Ala. — Thousands
of people crowded an Alabama
bridge on Sunday, many jammed
shoulder to shoulder, many
unable to move, to commemorate a bloody confrontation 50
years ago between police and
peaceful protesters that helped
bring about the 1965 Voting
Rights Act.
A day after President Barack
Obama had walked atop the
Edmund Pettus Bridge, police
said at least 15,000 to 20,000
people had joined the crush on
and around the small bridge.
Many came from around the
country for several events commemorating
the
landmark
moment.
William Baldwin, 69, of
Montgomery, brought his two
grandsons, ages 11 and 15, to
the bridge Sunday so they could
grasp the importance of the historic march he took part in a half
century earlier.
“They’re going to take this
struggle on and we have to understand the price that was paid
for them to have what they have
now,” Baldwin said. “It wasn’t
granted to them, it was earned
by blood, sweat and tears.”
Russian court charges 2
in Nemtsov killing
MOSCOW — Five men were
behind bars Sunday either
charged or suspected in the killing
of Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov,
but details remained unclear in
the case that has shaken Russia’s
marginalized and struggling
opposition movement.
The five appeared in a Moscow
court, where two of them were
charged in connection with the
shooting of Nemtsov as he walked
across a bridge near the Kremlin
on Feb. 27. The other three were
remanded to jail pending the filing of charges, which Russian law
says must be done within 10 days.
Russian news reports meanwhile cited unnamed sources
as saying another suspect had
killed himself with a grenade after
police blocked his apartment
on Saturday in Grozny, the capital of the republic of Chechnya.
There was no official comment
from Moscow on the reports,
but Chechen President Ramzan
Kadyrov appeared to partially
confirm it Sunday.
One of the judges in the two
separate hearings said suspect
Zaur Dadaev had acknowledged
involvement, but Dadaev did not
admit guilt in the courtroom,
according to state-run and independent news agencies in Russia.
The other suspect who was
charged, Anzor Gubashev, denied
guilt, the reports said.
The three others include
Gubashev’s younger brother Shagid, along with Khamzad
Bakhaev
and
Tamerlan
Eskerkhanov, state news agency
Tass reported.
Analysts: Boko Haram
move could reshape
Nigeria’s conflict
Boko Haram’s bid to forge an
alliance with the Islamic State
group in sub-Saharan Africa will
provide only a propaganda boost
for now, but in the long term it
could internationalize a conflict
restricted to Nigeria for nearly six
years, analysts say.
The effort comes as both
Islamic extremist groups have
lost ground in recent weeks and
as Nigeria’s neighbors are forming a multinational army to confront Boko Haram.
By pledging allegiance to IS,
Nigeria’s homegrown militants
have severed ties to al-Qaida,
which is more powerful in the
region, said Charlie Winter, a
researcher at the London-based
Quilliam Foundation.
Boko Haram has never been
an affiliate of al-Qaida, but its
militants fought alongside al-Qaida-linked groups during northern Mali’s Islamic uprising two
years ago, and some of its fighters have been trained in Somalia
by al-Shabab, another group with
ties to al-Qaida, according to the
group’s propaganda.
Boko Haram’s leader, Abubakar
Shekau, reportedly pledged allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr
al-Baghdadi in an audio posted
Saturday on Twitter.
3 dead in rocket attack on
UN base in Mali
BAMAKO, Mali — Two children
and a U.N. peacekeeper were killed
in a rocket attack early Sunday on
a U.N. base in Mali’s northeastern
city of Kidal, the United Nations
mission in Mali said.
More than 30 rockets and shells
hit the U.N. base, spokesman
Olivier Salgado said. Another 14
people were wounded. The peacekeeper was from Chad, and 11 of
the wounded were peacekeepers,
the spokesman for the U.N. secretary-general said in a statement.
A group formed by the elusive
and dreaded Algerian extremist
leader Moktar Belmoktar claimed
responsibility for the rare burst of
violence in the capital. Belmoktar
said it was a reprisal attack
“against the heathen West which
has offended our prophet” and in
revenge for the killing of a leader
of the Al Mourabitoun group in a
French-Malian military operation.

A peachy day for girls
Democratic ally urges
Clinton to explain emails
WASHINGTON — Former
Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton should fully
explain her actions involving
the use of a private, nongovernment email account when she
was the country’s top diplomat,
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein
said on Sunday, becoming the
first major Democrat to urge
Clinton to share more details of
the private account.
Feinstein said the former
first lady and New York senator
“needs to step up and come out
and say exactly what the situation was,” adding that from “this
point on, the silence is going to
hurt her.”
Clinton’s husband, former
President Bill Clinton, avoided
the controversy Sunday morning.
Asked whether his wife was
treated fairly, Bill Clinton replied,
“I’m not the one to judge that.
I have an opinion, but I have a
bias.”
“I shouldn’t be making news on
this,” he said, in remarks reported
on CNN.com.

Beacon battery expired a
year before Flight MH370
disappeared
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia
— The first comprehensive
report into the disappearance
of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
revealed Sunday that the battery of the locator beacon for the
plane’s data recorder had expired
more than a year before the jet
vanished on March 8, 2014.
The report came as Australian
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said
the hunt for the plane would not
end even if the scouring of the
current search area off Australia’s
west coast comes up empty.
Apart from the anomaly of
the expired battery, the detailed
report devoted pages after pages
describing the complete normality of the flight, which disappeared while heading from Kuala
Lumpur to Beijing, setting off aviation’s biggest mystery.
Families of the 239 people who
were on board the plane marked
the anniversary of the Boeing
777’s disappearance, vowing to
never give up on the desperate
search for wreckage and answers
to what happened to their loved
ones.
Wisconsin police chief’s
response contrasts with
Ferguson
MADISON, Wis. — Within hours
of a white officer shooting an
unarmed black man, the police
chief of Wisconsin’s capital city
was praying with the man’s
grandmother, hoping to strike
a conciliatory tone and avoid
the riots that last year rocked
Ferguson, Mo.
Chief Mike Koval said he knows
Madison is being watched across
the nation since 19-year-old Tony
Robinson’s death Friday evening,
and he has gone out of his way
to avoid what he once called
Ferguson’s “missteps.”
“Folks are angry, resentful, mistrustful, disappointed, shocked,
chagrined. I get that,” Koval said
Saturday. “People need to tell me
squarely how upset they are with
the Madison Police Department.”
The contrasts with Ferguson
are many.
While Ferguson police initially gave little information about
the shooting of Michael Brown,
an 18-year-old, unarmed black
man, Koval rushed to the home
of Robinson’s mother. She didn’t
want to meet with him, he said,
but he talked and prayed with
Robinson’s grandmother in the
driveway for 45 minutes.
‘Chappie’ wins slow
weekend
LOS ANGELES — “Chappie”
debuted at No. 1 with an estimated $13.3 million in the U.S. and
Canada during a slow box office
weekend, while the Vince Vaughn
comedy “Unfinished Business”
opened at No. 10 with a mere
$4.8 million.
Last week’s top film, “Focus,”
fell 46 percent in ticket sales and
finished second with about $10
million. Fox Searchlight’s “The
Second Best Exotic Marigold
Hotel” came in at third with a
solid $8.6 million start.
The box office as a whole was
down 38.5 percent compared
with the same weekend last year.
By wire sources
Hawaii exports soar, but
challenges remain
BY TOM LAVENTURE
AND DARIN MORIKI
THE GARDEN ISLAND
LIHUE,
Kauai
—
Merchandise exports from
Hawaii soared to $1.5 billion
last year, a record high that
contributed to the nearly $2.35
trillion in goods and services
exported nationwide.
The news from the U.S.
Department of Commerce
came as no surprise to company officials and business advocates on Kauai, who say that
exports are indeed growing.
“The economic numbers reaffirm the importance of bilateral trade as it affects our Hawaii
economy,” Kauai Chamber of
Commerce President Randy
Francisco wrote in an email.
Koloa
Rum
Company
President and CEO Bob Gunter
said company officials started exporting their products
to Canada about three years
ago and have slowly begun to
expand those efforts to include
France, Australia and Japan.
“As we all know here in
Hawaii, we’re uniquely positioned geographically and
culturally to take advantage
of export opportunities, especially in Asia and the South
Pacific,” Gunter said. “Because
we get visitors from all over
the world, but certainly from
those regions, all of us who are
in manufacturing in Hawaii
have the opportunity to get our
products in front of consumers and potential buyers from
these international markets.”
Goods that were exported
from Hawaii last year were
led by a number of sectors,
including $479 million in
transportation equipment,
$426 million in petroleum and
coal products, and $153 million in chemicals, according
to data from the Department
of Commerce’s International
Trade Administration.
Hawaii Shippers’ Council
President Michael Hansen said
the major merchandise exports
from Hawaii are refined petroleum products and residual
fuel oil from the two crude
oil petroleum refineries at
Campbell Industrial Park in
Kapolei on Oahu.
But those numbers don’t tell
the whole story, or paint an
accurate picture of Hawaii’s
export market, said John
Holman, the Pacific Islands
director for the United States
Department of Commerce’s
U.S. and Foreign Commercial
Service.
Because of the state’s unique
geographic location, ships or
aircraft traveling from the
West Coast or other U.S. destinations stop routinely in
Hawaii to refuel before continuing on to their international destination.
The cargo carried on those
ships and planes, as a result,
are factored into the state’s
export figures, Holman said.
“We know we don’t make
aircraft here, we don’t make
oil, coal products, petroleum
products, or chemicals, so we
have to kind of chop out what
we know are not Hawaii products and see what are,” Holman
explained.
Some of the state’s other
top exports are fresh seafood,
coffee, bottled water, cosmetic
products, and food and beverage products such as macadamia nuts or organic honey.
Perhaps the state’s most successful exports, he said, are
service products, such as engineering and architectural consulting services and international tourism or study, which
are more difficult to track.
“Because of our proximity to
Asia, and even more significantly than that, our cultural
affinity with many Asian markets, Hawaii is a great place
to do business internationally,”
Holman said.
Expanding export opportunities from Hawaii has its
challenges.
The high cost of importing
essential manufacturing products, such as packaging, agricultural tools or machinery, is
an impediment that businesses must face before they even
make or sell their goods.
“That’s something that we all
face and it creates an unleveled
playing field for all of us here in
Hawaii because most mainland
manufacturers or producers of
products don’t have that extra
high costs of freight to contend
with,” Gunter said.
Companies
throughout
the state, including those on
Kauai, “rely on a lot of ‘outside’
influences to have a successful
business” because of the state’s
geographically remote location,
County Office of Economic
Development Director George
Costa wrote in an email.
“Unless it is something that
is actually grown and manufactured here without outside
inputs, it is very difficult to
succeed,” Costa explained. “We
have limited raw materials
with which to make a product,
and the product will most likely be made by someone making a wage higher than on the
mainland.”
Some local companies
involved in the county’s Kauai
Made program, he said, “have
taken the leap of faith to create a product that is salable
to others,” including Aunty
Lilikoi, Anahola Granola, Salty
Wahine, Kauai Coffee, Ko
Bakery, Kauai Kookie, Moloaa
Bay Coffee, Tropical Flowers
Express,
and
Hawaiian
Organic Noni.
“Their success has not come
overnight, but through their
diligence and assistance from
family, friends and the local
business community, they have
persevered and become Kauai’s
success stories,” Costa said.
Promising areas for growth,
Holman said, are markets in
Australia and Canada, which
also reflect strong visitor arrivals to Hawaii, as well as South
Korea, where a free trade
agreement was forged three
years ago.
Creating free trade agreements with more countries,
especially those in Asia, and
either repealing the Jones
Act or crafting exceptions for
Hawaii, will likely encourage more Hawaii businesses to explore export options,
Holman and Gunter said.
“I think that, if we could
modify or eliminate the onerous requirements of the Jones
Act for us here in Hawaii, it
would be a tremendous benefit
not only for companies who
are desiring to export but also
for our local residents because
everything that comes into
Hawaii has that higher cost
added to it for freight,” Gunter
said.

OPINION
EDITORIAL | BLOOMBERG NEWS
Congress should
debate Iran
nuclear talks,
not derail them
I
n the afterglow of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s fiery
speech to Congress, the Republicancontrolled Senate is feeling its oats on
foreign policy. Senators should be careful
not to undermine President Barack
Obama’s negotiations with Iran.
Leave aside for the moment the
typical partisan debate and more highminded questions over the respective
roles of the legislative and executive
branches. The central question here is
whether the bill under discussion will
increase the odds of a good nuclear
deal with Iran. The answer is no.
The bill would require the president
to submit any agreement to Congress,
which would have 60 days to approve
or disapprove it. During this time, no
sanctions against Iran could be waived. If
Congress votes down the agreement, the
president would not be allowed to waive
any Iran sanctions. If Congress decides
not to vote or approves the deal, the
president would have to report to Congress
every 90 days on Iran’s compliance.
What’s wrong with that? First of all, by
suspending the president’s power to waive
existing Iran sanctions for 60 days, the
bill undermines any offers of sanctions
relief that his negotiators made to Iran in
Geneva. And if Congress votes down the
agreement, it also removes the president’s
ability to renew previous sanctions waivers
agreed to in November 2013. In other
words, a “no” vote on a new agreement
also effectively blows up the existing deal,
under which Iran’s nuclear program has
been frozen (and in some cases rolled
back) and subject to greater inspection.
Moreover, the certification that the
president has to make every 90 days
must state not just that Iran is complying
with the agreement, but that it “has not
directly supported or carried out an act
of terrorism against the United States
or a United States person anywhere in
the world.” Proving a negative is difficult
enough, never mind proving a negative
about the operations of Iran’s far-flung
and decentralized terror network.
Of course Congress has the right
(backed by ample historical precedents)
to weigh in on the Iran negotiations, not
to mention overseeing any agreement. But
Obama doesn’t need Congress’s approval
to conclude this deal, which is why the
White House has rightly promised a veto.
The Constitution gives the prerogative
in the conduct of foreign policy to
the executive branch. Although an
international treaty can become binding
on the U.S. only if the Senate provides
its advice and consent to ratification
by a two- thirds majority, the president
has the power to conclude so- called
executive agreements with other nations.
In fact, while the U.S. has ratified
roughly 1,100 treaties since 1789, it has
concluded more than 18,500 executive
agreements, most of them since 1939.
Notwithstanding Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles’s crack that “every
time we open a new privy, we have an
executive agreement,” some have been
momentous — including U.S. recognition
of the Soviet Union in 1933, the 1973
Vietnam Peace Agreement and the
Iranian Hostage Agreement of 1981.
Yes, it also makes sense politically for
Obama to treat this deal as an executive
agreement rather than a treaty: In today’s
partisan polarized climate, he can’t even
get his ambassadors confirmed(indeed,
Congress probably would have voted
down the agreement that has kept a
lid on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions since
November 2013). But he also has the
more principled argument in his favor.
Happily, in this case, the principled
and the political are not at odds.
DANA MILBANK | THE WASHINGTON POST
Hillary vs. Hillary
W
ASHINGTON
— So it turns
out Hillary
Clinton will face a
serious challenger in the
primaries, after all. Her
name is Hillary Clinton.
Last week’s revelation
that she used only private
email to conduct her public
business as secretary of
state is not a knockout blow
to the likely Democratic
presidential nominee;
she has weathered worse.
But it is a needless, selfinflicted wound, and it
stems from the same flaws
that have caused Clinton
trouble in the past —
terminal caution and its
cousin, obsessive secrecy.
In trying so hard to avoid
mistakes — in this case,
trying to make sure an
embarrassing email or two
didn’t become public —
Clinton made a whopper of
an error. What’s troubling
is that she’s been making a
variation of this mistake for
nearly a quarter-century.
During her husband’s
1992 campaign, she
resisted releasing records
about the Whitewater land
deal. In 1993, she opposed
White House adviser David
Gergen’s recommendation
that she turn over all
records. Her Whitewater
billing records were
mysteriously lost for two
years and then turned up in
the White House residence.
Her resistance to
divulging information
caused the scandal to drag
on — and the resulting
independent counsel
investigation metastasized
into an all-purpose probe
that eventually exposed the
Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Likewise, her doomed
1993 health care task force
needlessly gave critics
of the policy an opening
with its reflexive secrecy;
the task force wouldn’t
even provide the names
of all the consultants it
brought in for advice.
Clinton justifiably
criticized George W. Bush’s
administration in 2007 for
its “secret White House
email accounts” — but then
she became a key figure in
an administration that, in
its zeal to limit disclosure,
pursued more leak cases
under the 1917 Espionage
Act than all previous
administrations combined.
The administration’s
efforts to conceal its
eavesdropping programs —
including false testimony
to Congress by the director
of national intelligence
— ultimately backfired
by leading to Edward
Snowden’s reckless dump
of government secrets.
The Obama
administration,
and Clinton’s State
Department, wound up
giving ammunition to
congressional probes
into the Benghazi attack
when they kept from
congressional investigators
a damning 2012 State
Department email about
administration talking
points following the
incident. The withheld
email, when released
later, made it look as if
the administration had
something to hide.
This is exactly the
appearance created by
last week’s revelation
that Clinton had been
exclusively using personal
email during her time as
the nation’s top diplomat.
Her “clintonemail.com”
domain is an unfortunate
echo of 2007, when Bush
administration officials
were discovered to have
conducted official business
using the “gwb43.com”
domain. Clinton clearly
violated administration
protocol, and she ran
afoul of the spirit, if not
the letter, of the Federal
Records Act. (Since last
year’s amendments to
the act, Clinton’s actions
would, if taken today,
be plainly illegal.)
“It’s the kind of step that
arouses suspicion, even if it
does not violate the letter
of the law,” says Steven
LETTERS | YOUR VOICE
Our justice system
is questionable
What is the country
coming to?
I just read two stories
today, one on the West
Hawaii Today website and
the other on the Yahoo
News site. And I must say,
the Democrat politicians,
lawmakers and judges of
the world are losing their
minds. I mean really, think
about the following.
You have a diver who
is committing no crime
whatsoever. By fishing
for yellow tang fish in the
ocean, which he has every
right to do, no matter
what the reason he was
fishing for them. And
out of nowhere comes an
intruder from another
island to harass him for
supposedly endangering
the yellow tang fish. Really?
Have these tree hugging
morons noticed how many
of these fish there are out
there? Obviously not.
Now back to the injustice.
The fisherman, not knowing
the other two divers’ intent,
attempts to defend himself
by pulling the mask off of
the real assailant. And he
ends up being charged with
second-degree terroristic
threatening? And is actually
found guilty and sentenced
for it. Are you kidding me?
I think we need to rewrite
the Homeland Security Act,
so it would only allow the
federal government to be
able to file a terrorist charge
against someone. Because as
you can see, the Democrats
of the county took this law
and ran with it, by creating
bogus statutes that allow a
man defending himself to
Aftergood, a specialist in
government secrecy with
the Federation of American
Scientists. He suggests
Clinton could clean up the
mess by inviting in officials
from the National Archives
to examine her private
email server to confirm
that all official emails have
been transferred to the
government’s possession.
That would be a good
start, but the reflexive
secrecy is a symptom of
Clinton’s broader problem,
which is her debilitating
caution. Just as her
determination to avoid
embarrassing disclosure
leads to much bigger
problems with secrecy, her
efforts to avoid mistakes
on the campaign trail
make her a plodding and
lifeless candidate. Her
unimaginative, play-it-safe
2008 campaign left an
opening for Barack Obama.
Clinton’s response so far
to the email controversy
has been emblematic
of that caution: She’s
limited herself to a
tweet saying she asked
the State Department
to release her emails.
There is very little
standing between Clinton
and the presidency, and
that no doubt reinforces
her instinctive caution
and confidentiality. But
the biggest mistake
she can make is being
afraid to make one.

be charged as if he were a
terrorist, which, allowing
the powers that be to do
so, is a crime in itself. And
the really sad part about
this entire issue, these “lawmakers” wouldn’t know a
terrorist if he jumped up and
gave them a “Gibbs Slap”
on the back of the head.
The second story I read
goes right along the same
lines: injustice. This article
was about a 15-year-old
boy who, yes I will admit,
gave in for whatever reason,
and did something not too
smart, but was the crime
he was charged with justified? No. His crime? He got
caught streaking through
his high school football
game last September, and
was not intending to commit a sex crime or thinking
of being convicted of a
sex crime. Not to mention
becoming a registered sex
offender. So tragically, not
being able to understand
why he was being subjected
to such serious punishment
for something that had no
criminal intent, committed suicide. And for what?
Because the Democrat,
yes, I looked it up, he’s
a Democrat, prosecutor
wanted to do two things.
Make a name for himself
and make an example of the
15-year-old boy, who had no
criminal intent whatsoever,
and he died because of it.
So, the next time you see
someone urinating outside
and in public view, you
might just say something
to them instead of calling
the police. Because he
may end up in prison for
30 years for a sex crime.

February.
The mercury was at 71 degrees early
Saturday and Sunday mornings in
Kailua-Kona. Calling that a cold snap
might draw a derisive laugh from a
native of, say, Bangor, Maine, where
it was a bone-chilling 19 degrees at 9
p.m. Sunday.
“Northerly winds are bringing this
sort of dry, stable air over most of the
state. The only exception is on the
Big Island where there is a little bit
more moisture overhead,” Matt Foster,
a forecaster at the National Weather
Service in Honolulu, said Sunday.
The five-day forecast on the NWS
website calls for warmer days, in the
mid- to upper-70s for the week, starting today, but the cool nights are forecast to continue.
The wind reading at Kona
International Airport at 5 p.m. Sunday
was 17 mph from the north.
“The wind should be backing off
but it’s still going to be cool, at least
through the middle of the week, anyway,” Foster said.
One Hilo woman wrote on Facebook
it was so cold “every female I have seen
today has felt the need to combine
some weird … animal print yoga pant
with over the top snow fleece boots.”
Showers are also likely to continue
in for most of the week, according to
the forecast.
Kona airport received about 0.02
inches of rain Saturday and another 0.04 inches by 2 p.m. Sunday.
A Captain Cook resident wrote on
Facebook that it was “pounding rain.”
Hilo received 1.06 inches Saturday
and another 0.37 inches as of 8 a.m.
Sunday. Locations elsewhere around
the island also reported precipitation,
with Hawi registering 0.82 inches on
Saturday.
Foster said there may be a brief
reprieve from the rain on Tuesday, “but
it’ll go right back over us.”
“It’s sort of weird,” he said. “There’s

just to the south of the Big Island. It’ll

WEST HAWAII TODAY
A high wind warning has been
posted for the Mauna Loa and
Mauna Kea summits through
6 p.m. today, according to the
National Weather Service.
The service forecast southwest winds of 50 to 70 mph with
gusts topping 105 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.
The Mauna Kea Weather
Center reported Sunday shortly
before noon that the access road
to the Mauna Kea summit was
closed.
Also, a winter weather advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m.
today for the two summits, the
NWS reports.
Up to 1 inch of new snow is
expected to fall above 12,500
feet in elevation, forecasters said.
The temperature will be in the
lower 20s and visibility could be
reduced to less than one-half mile
at times.
Freezing fog and icing also will
be possible.
These conditions may pose
hazards for anyone on or near the
Big Island summits, forecasters

Senators also will take

Medical marijuana
The drug has been legal
in Hawaii for medical
purposes since 2000, but
patients don’t have a legal
way to get medical marijuana other than growing
it themselves or buying it
on the black market. A bill
up for a full House vote

at least 26 dispensaries
and 30 production centers in the state.

Hospitals throughout the
system have been cutting services to deal with
declining revenues, and
Maui Memorial Hospital
has already closed its adolescent behavioral health
unit.
Birth certificates
A proposal in the House
would allow transgender
people to change gender
on their birth certificates
without having surgery.
Advocates say requiring
surgery is outdated, and
transgender people will
face fewer obstacles to
obtaining employment
and education if they’re
able to get a birth certificate that conforms with
the gender they physically

Disputed

A Senate panel is
scheduled to consider
Ige’s nomination of Ching
to become chairman of
DLNR. Environmental
groups have decried the
nomination, and one senator has said he wouldn’t
vote to approve Ching.

of the way at the last

the boat by inches.
Luckily for Trevor and

at mayhem. Luckily for

on video. The wildly
dramatic scene is posted online for us to see,
feel, and remember as

staying ready when a

With the availability
of GoPro cameras and
the ease of their use, the

has expanded to taking
videos and then editing
them and posting them
on the internet. Skipper
Trevor Child was
ably assisted by Capt.

the later post-production digital editing. In
assembling the amazing video, Andrew was
well aware you would
want to be thrilled by
the fish’s charge again
and again from several

It’s the first state medal for

“It was pretty crazy. I didn’t

DORAL, Fla. — A
month after he returned
from his curious leave of
absence, Dustin Johnson
was posing with another
big trophy.
In a power show Sunday
on the Blue Monster,
Johnson was flawless on
the back nine and blasted
two big drives to finish off
a 3-under 69 and win the
Cadillac Championship
for his second World Golf
Championship title.
Johnson took advantage of a collapse by J.B.
Holmes, who lost a fiveshot lead and closed with
a 75 to finish one shot
behind. Masters champion Bubba Watson opened
with four birdies in seven
holes to lead by two shots,
only to make three bogeys
in a four-hole stretch on
the back nine. He shot 71
and finished two behind.
Johnson won for the
ninth time in his PGA
Tour career and moved to
No. 7 in the world.
It looked as though the
30-year-old Johnson was
never gone.
He returned just five
weeks ago from a sixmonth leave of absence to
seek professional help for
what he described only as
personal challenge. Golf.
com reported in August
that Johnson had failed
a cocaine test for the second time, and that he
previously was suspended in 2012 under similar

PAHOA
–
Sheri
Kaehuaea came out to
support the Pahoa High
boys basketball team the
past few months with an
ulterior motive in mind.
“Every time, we’d
ask, “You’re trying out,
right? You’re coming?”
Kaehuaea said. “Come
play volleyball.”
Slowly but surely,
Kaehuaea’s recruiting
efforts paid off.
The Daggers had eight
players Monday, but that
number had almost doubled two days later once
all of their basketball
players reported in after
the HHSAA tournament.
Pahoa was 15 strong
Saturday, and they ran
wind sprints in unity after
what Kaehuaea saw as a
disjointed first set in a
Big Island Interscholastic
Federation match against
Laupahoehoe.
“When they start slacking and don’t play as a
team, we punish them as
a team,” Kaehuaea said.
“They didn’t want to talk
to each other. They didn’t
want to open up. In order
for them to open up, I
guess sprints did help. It
woke them up a little.”
Behind
Brycen
Palama’s six kills, the
Daggers kicked into gear
for a 25-9, 25-19, 25-19
victory.
“It makes us want to
talk more, so we don’t
need to run,” Palama said.
Last season, Pahoa lost
to Kohala in a play-in
game to reach the BIIF
Division II semifinals.
Not only did a handful
of seniors depart, but the
Daggers suffered more
Laupahoehoe’s Kaleo Ibanez takes a swing Saturday against Pahoa during
a BIIF match at the Daggers’ gym. MATT GERHART/HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
attrition when some
transferred to Keaau
High because of the
threat of the lava flow.
With an enrollment
of approximately 64,
Laupahoehoe (0-1) is
led by many of the same
players who helped the
basketball team compete
in Division II, including
Kysen Datuin, Aasyn
Datuin
and
Kadan
Stamm.
Before thinking about
postseason aspirations,
Kaehuaea is simply content the Daggers (2-0)
– who beat another
small school, Ke Kula
O Ehunuikaimalino, in
their opener – will be able
to field varsity and junior
varsity team this season.
Palama is looking forward to Pahoa’s next
match Tuesday at the
Cougars’ gym.
“One of my main goals
is to beat Keaau,” he
said. “Just because they
have our players doesn’t
mean they are going to be
better.”
Palama, a junior, is
the only Dagger with
club experience and
is the primary hitting
threat along with senior
Torrell Thomas, who
had four kills against the
Seasiders. Junior Rosario
added three.
Thomas was a contributor on Pahoa’s BIIF
champion
basketball
team, and he gives the
volleyball team some
much-needed height.
“We told all the boys
not to worry about their
height,” Kaehuaea said.
“Defense is the key.”
One of the most active
people at the Daggers’
gym was assistant coach
Kahea Rodrigues, who
was busy shuffling in
substitutions after each
point. Players were in
one moment and out the
next. All 15 saw playing
time, though some will
play JV starting Tuesday
against Keaau.
“A lot of time I’m asking, “Did you get in the
game?” Kaehuaea said. “I
didn’t see you.”
ANCHETA: Small Christian school a good fit
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
“It’s a good fit to help
build a program, and
being a Christian, too,”
Ancheta said. “It’s a brand
new program for sports.
There are 300 students.
It’s a really small school.”
She had different
offers from junior colleges, including schools
in Oregon, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Tennessee
and New Jersey.
Even if she went to a
college in Rhode Island ‘s
cold capital, Ancheta was
built for the weather, at
least partially.
Her
mom
Sally
Ancheta, the coalition
coordinator for Tobacco
Free East Hawaii, is from
Alaska. Her dad Len
Ancheta works at HPM
and is in the National
Guard.
Here’s an interesting piece of family trivia
Ancheta can pass down
to her children someday:
Guess how grandpa and
grandma Ancheta met?
Len and Sally were
students at Hawaii
Community College and
set up a volleyball net
together. The spirit of the
sport was passed down.
When Ancheta was a
two-year-old toddler (she
has a younger brother),
her first volleyball was a
balloon that she bumped
around.
When she reached
Waiakea, Ancheta started
at setter her first three
years. In her senior season, she was a defensive
specialist, and also a
captain.
She took that role to
heart. Leaders are supposed to set the best
example, and put the
team first. That’s what
she did.
“It was a good learning
experience to go from setter to defensive specialist,” she said. “I was ready
to go no matter what. I
was a captain, too, so I
had a lot of responsibility.
If something happened, I
couldn’t let anything hold
me back.
“Not everything comes
easy. You have to work
for it, remain motivated,
have a positive mindset,
and take care of what
needs to be done. The
team always comes first.”
Ancheta followed her
own advice to secure a
scholarship. She played
club ball for HI Intensity,
coached
by
Carla
Carpenter-Kabalis, and
sent out video.
Then one day, after
school, she got a phone
call from Justin Baker, the
Sea Beggar coach, who
offered a scholarship.
Ancheta will never forget that day. It was Feb.
4 — her birthday.
“It was a nice birthday
present,” she said. “It’s
really exciting and has
opened doors for me, and
it felt right.
“I got to meet the coach
and talk with him, and
he met my parents when
my club team played in
the Las Vegas Classic in
February.”
Last season, Waiakea
advanced to the HHSAA
state tournament for the
first time since 2010. It
was Ancheta’s first state
trip, as well as a worthwhile life lesson.
“I was never a BIIF
first-team pick, but I was
the OC16 Impact Player
on TV (given to an inspirational player),” she said.
“My parents have always
told me to stay humble,
work hard, listen and
remain coachable.
“I think I’ve shown that
there’s always a college
where you can be a perfect fit. If you work hard
and stay humble, you’re
going to make it.”
During her spare time,
Ancheta volunteers at
Camp Agape. The mission of the four-day camp
is to share God’s love with
children whose parents
are in prison.
“She’s an active member at New Hope Hilo
and had given up preseason training time
(during her BIIF senior
year) to attend Legacy
Camp, which helped her
stay spiritually filled and
become an even better team player,” Sally
Ancheta said. “She’s very
grounded, and spent
most weekends helping
with childcare for our
bible study on Saturdays
through high school. She
has a huge heart.”
Sometimes, as the Sea
Beggars may soon discover, the best role models
don’t have the highest
GPAs or the most accolades, instead they have
the biggest hearts.

WRESTLING: Points on takedown defense key for Guerro
preparation, losing to
eventual state champion Alexis Encinas, from
Lahainaluna, in the
semifinals.
“It was really difficult.
The Farrington girl was
really strong,” Guerra
said. “It was back-andforth for a long time. I
was really scared because
the score was so close. It
was easy for her to catch
up. But I did everything
I could to make sure she
couldn’t catch up.”
Cachola kept shooting for takedowns, looking for a pin and slamdunk victory. But Guerra
maintained her composure, and relied on her
technique.
“I mainly got all my
points on defending her
takedowns, stuffing her
all the way down,” Guerra
said. “But she was so
strong, she would still
drive up fully for another
takedown. I stuffed her
head down, got her arms
off my legs, and really put
pressure onto her head.”
With her bronze medal
in hand, Guerra realized
she’s a different Viking,
a well-rounded one. She
always thought of herself
as a judoka first — her
goal is to be a four-time
BIIF champ.
“Now I can say I did
better in wrestling,” she
said. “In the past, my
wrestling has struggled
to keep up with my judo.
I’m starting to get the
hang of wrestling.”
Hilo
coach
Alex
Kalawe saw improvement in Guerra in a lot
of areas, but pointed to a
key intangible as a major
reason she brought home
a bronze medal.
“It’s definitely her
mindset, her focus,” he
said. “She’s more committed to doing better than
just being a participant.
“She had a really good
shot at being a state
champ. She lost to the girl
who ended up winning.
The competition at states
is always tough. This year
wasn’t any different. That
medal is something she
definitely earned.”

RIZZUTO: Go Get Em brings
back 619-pound blue marlin
the boat Captain Jack
hoisted a nearly identical shortbill weighing
52.7. When recording
our catches, we normally round off to the nearest half pound which
smooths out some of
the irregularities in the
process of handling and
weighing fish. In fact,
if the two shortbills
had not been weighed
so closely together, we
would have called each
52.5 pounds and taken
no notice of the difference. At any weight,
both topped the 51.5
pounder on our books
as biggest of the year.
So we are going to
ignore the difference,
call them a tie and
thereby jinx them so
that someone else will
catch a bigger one
right away and wipe
away the problem.
Friday was, let’s face
it, really nasty and
Capt. Chad’s party
was ready to give up
after an hour-and-ahalf of rocking and
rolling. To their credit, they hung on long
enough to hook a pair
of shortbills so their
trials at sea did not go
unrewarded. Angler
Joe from Colorado got
the 52.3-pounder but
didn’t hang around long
afterwards enough for
us to get his last name.
The spearfish duo
struck as they trolled
the pocket off Kaiwi
Point. The big one hit
a Shiroma bullet. The
52.3-pounder is Chad’s
biggest as a captain.
Angler Kasey Buising
caught the 52.7-pounder on a Marlin Magic
peanut lure with Capt.
Marc and crew Carey
Hill on Capt. Jack.
While Kasey’s fishing
partner pulled the
smaller one in, Marc
tried to figure out
in the dark smoke
from the diesel engine.
Before the fish charges,
High Noon is backing
down on the fish as
it jumps in the distance. In seconds, it
turns, leaps and races
toward the boat. In
a flash, Trevor has
to shift from reverse
to forward, push the
throttles, and hope the
propellors dig in and
keep the flailing bill of
the big fish from coming aboard. The black
smoke tells you the
engine is doing its best.
Okay. With that
introduction, go find
the video at youtube.
com/watch?v=h3o73jCim5U&feature=youtu.be.
In more big-fish
action last week, the
charterboat Go Get
Em came back to the
Honokohau Harbor
scales with the biggest
blue marlin of the week.
Dane Orser caught
the 619-pound blue on
“The Grounds” after a
40-minute fight. After
the fish hooked itself on
a Joe Yee Superplunger
(long corner), Capt.
Jim made sure the
fight was routine —
no big fish trying to
climb aboard for him.
The half-day trip
was also blessed with a
shortbill spearfish and
a mahimahi along with
the lovely conditions
we always associate
with a day in the Kona
lee. All before 10 a.m.
Pleasant day for
big spearfish
Kona days are always
pleasant, but some are
not as pleasant as others. Friday was, well,
downright gnarly with
winds and seas in turmoil. But it got very
pleasant for anglers
aboard Bite Me I and
Captain Jack when each
boated a big shortbill
spearfish that ended
up tying for the largest so far in 2015.
On Bite Me I,
Capt. Chad Contessa
and crew Kip Taylor
brought in a shortbill
weighing 52.3 pounds.
Ten minutes later,
Capt. Marc Schubert of
just what it was that
Kasey had hooked.
Uncharacteristic of
shortbills, this one
had a big head, which
made Marc think they
had hooked a small
blue. Maybe the extra 6
ounces was in its skull!
After they got it to
the boat and determined it was a spearfish, they wondered
whether it was big
enough to be worth
challenging the lead.
That meant bringing
it up the coast to the
Honokohau scales
from their homeport of
Keauhou. That turned
out to be worth doing
(at least until next week
when someone else
catches a bigger one).
Hot bites, hot
baits, hot boats
On Monday, Capt.
Mat Bowman started the week off for
Northern Lights with
two shortbill spearfish,
two striped marlin
and a 186.5-pound ahi
for angler John Coats.
On Tuesday, Illusions
brought in a striped
marlin that looked big
enough to challenge for
the biggest of the year.
At 105 pounds, however, Capt. Tim Hicks’
fish fell four pounds
short of the leader.
On Wednesday, Blue
Hawaii recorded the
biggest release of the
week. Capt. James Dean
let go a 400-pounder
caught by Randy Fort.
As already noted,
Friday was a big day
for spearfish and other
boats got in on the run.
On Strong Persuader,
Capt. Shane O’Brien
tagged and released
four shortbills. On
Raptor, Carol and
Bruce Herren could
only find one spearfish
but they settled for a
102-pound ahi instead.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Husband has secret conversations with ex-girlfriend
Dear Annie: I have
been married to “Ralph”
for 30 years. Recently, I
discovered that he has
been speaking with an
ex-girlfriend on his cellphone. These conversations have been going on
for 10 years. They both
say they are only friends,
but I don’t believe it.
This woman is married
and lives out of state.
Can two married people
secretly talk to each other
for 10 years behind their
spouses’ backs and it just
be innocent conversation? By the way, this isn’t
an ordinary ex-girlfriend.
Ralph planned to marry
her after high school, but
she chose college, and
he had to let her go.
When I confronted
Ralph, he said, “This
has nothing to do with
you. My feelings for you
have never changed,
and I never treated you
any differently.” But I
feel as if I have been
cheated out of 10 years
of my marriage because
his ex-girlfriend was
taking part of him from
me and I didn’t know.
Ralph is a phenomenal father and has
been a great husband.
He wants me to let
this go so we can move
on. But how can I ever
trust him again? —
Feeling Betrayed
Dear Feeling: Sharing
a conversation is not the
problem. The fact that
you were unaware of it for
10 years and this woman
was romantically important to your husband is
what’s bothering you.
Has Ralph been sharing
intimate thoughts with
her? Has he confided
problems in his marriage
to her? Has he expressed
an interest in getting
together with her? These
are the questions you
need answered. Ralph
may feel that if there was
no physical affair, he did
nothing wrong. But anything that loses your trust
damages the marriage.
Please ask Ralph to
come with you for a few
sessions with a marriage
counselor, who could
help him understand
why this matters and
help both of you fix it.
Sudoku
This is how you “let it
go” so you can move on.
Dear Annie: After raising my two daughters for
25 years, they were told
by their mother never
to speak to their paternal grandparents or me
again, so they haven’t.
What part of the brain
makes people who seem
normal and rational
take this stance? They
decide they will never
even discuss the possibility of reconciliation.
Do they have to take this
hate, anger and stubbornness to their graves,
no matter how much it
hurts them? Is there any
way to start the healing
process? — Florida
Dear Florida: We
assume there was a
nasty divorce and not
abuse, which does not
require their forgiveness. Your daughters
may feel a great loyalty
to Mom and believe it is
necessary to respect her
wishes, no matter how
unfair or hurtful. They
may be angry with you,
as well. Please continue to reach out to your
daughters, regardless
of their response. Let
them know you love and
miss them, as do their
grandparents. We hope
at some point they will
decide they miss you, too.
Dear Annie: I’d like
to add some advice to
“Desperate for Answers,”
who is always being
unfavorably compared
to her older sister. I had
the exact same situation growing up, and
I wish someone had
told me the following:
Your parents love you.
They compare you to your
sister because they don’t
know how to motivate
you and help you do the
best you can. They don’t
mean to hurt or diminish you. Concentrate on
the talents, skills and
characteristics you have
that make you unique.
I made the mistake
of competing with my
sister and hating her
for decades. I missed so
much by doing that. It
isn’t her fault that your
parents are comparing
you. Make her your
ally. — Been There

If you haven’t been happy with
the investments you have or a
deal someone has offered you,
take time to renegotiate or make
changes that can help you do better in the future. 4 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You
are best to take control and stay
on top of any situation with a
business or personal partner that
needs addressing. Facing concerns honestly and with diplomacy will help you avoid future concerns. Love is in the stars. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Emotions will be difficult to
contain. If you love someone, let
him or her know. Make positive
changes at home, but don’t do
so without getting the go-ahead
from someone who has to live
with your decisions. Stick to a set
budget. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): You can make positive changes at home. Taking steps that will
improve your living arrangements will enhance your love life.
Reconnecting with people from
your past or making vacation
plans will inspire you to take care
of your responsibilities. 4 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Don’t feel pressured to do
something you aren’t prepared
for. Observe what others do, and
you will get a better idea of the
motives involved. Avoid emotional confrontations. Protect your
assets. 2 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Take time to tie up loose ends.
Go over your personal paperwork and look for opportunities
that can lead to a higher income.
Focus on yourself, your skills and
following your dreams. Romance
will enhance your love life. 5 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Don’t cut corners or someone will
criticize you. Problems while traveling or dealing with superiors
will develop if you are evasive
or misleading. Do your best to
explain your intentions to avoid
a misunderstanding with someone who can disrupt your plans.
3 stars
Birthday Baby: You are
expressive, friendly and unique.
You are inquisitive and you seek
adventure.

What call would you make?
A - This minimum hand cannot
accept partner’s invitation, but which
part-score will you play? Partner has
not promised a balanced hand, just
invitational values. Play in his suit.
Bid three spades.
Q 2 - North-South vulnerable, as
South, you hold:
♠ J 9 8 6 2 ♥ K Q ♦ 10 ♣ A Q J 8 3
Right-hand opponent opens one
diamond. What call would you
make?
A - Some clever fellows will bid two
clubs, hoping to get their spades in at
the two-level. That sequence won’t
show the fifth spade, which is
important. Bid one spade, despite the
poor suit quality.
Q 3 - East-West vulnerable, as South,
you hold:
♠ Q J 8 6 ♥ A Q 9 ♦ 10 7 6 3 2 ♣ 4
Partner opens one heart and righthand opponent passes. What call
would you make?
A - In order to bid one spade when
you also have a fit for partner’s
hearts, you must be strong enough to
jump to three hearts next. This hand
qualifies, so bid one spade.

A - After an overcall, a one no trump
response shows 7-11 points and a
stopper. This hand is a minimum in
all aspects, but it is important to tell
partner that your side holds at least
half the deck. Bid one no trump.
Q 5 - North-South vulnerable, as

A - This hand is too strong to just bid
three clubs. Bid three no trump. The
ability to hold up once or twice in
hearts may be very important in the
play.
Q 6 - East-West vulnerable, as South,
you hold:
♠ A K J 4 ♥ Q 7 6 ♦ Void ♣ 10 9 7 6 5 2

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.
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.
