BIG PLANS UP NORTH
EA gives green light for Waimea Nui sustainability project
BY BRET YAGER
WEST HAWAII TODAY
byager@westhawaiitoday.com
An initiative that will allow
Native Hawaiians to work and
be buried in their ahupuaa is a
step closer to reality in Waimea.
An environmental assessment
has found no negative impacts
from a planned 28-acre complex
with a community agricultural
park and post-harvest facility,
and a 10-acre homestead cemetery. Later phases of the plan
will include an equestrian center and golf facility on acreage
overseen by the Department of
Hawaiian Home Lands.
The community agricultural park will contain a farmers
market building and a resource
center, with 246 farm lots
designed to give people and
organizations a place to begin
farming on a small scale, learn
from others and share equipment. Work at the site was
scheduled to start this summer, according to the EA, prepared by consultants Group 70
International.
The Waimea Nui Regional
Community
Development
Initiative, four decades in the
making, is centered on 114
acres of pasture land in southeast Waimea in the Puukapu
Homestead Farm Lots subdivision. Last year, the initiative was granted $3.5 million
through the state Department
of Agriculture. The effort
by the Waimea Hawaiian
Homesteaders Association is
designed to bring self-sufficiency to the homestead community
by creating jobs in agriculture
and recreation.
In releasing the funds in April
2014, Gov. Neil Abercrombie
touted the project as a model
for the rest of the state. The CDI
is pursuing additional money
needed for the $45 million
plan through private financing,
grants and revenue generated
from on-site activity, according
to DHHL.
Messages left with DHHL
and Waimea Nui representatives were not returned

The Hawaii County Council

Restoration Day, in recognition of the day in 1843 that
independence was restored to
the Kingdom of Hawaii.

A HEARING AID
HONOLULU—
Hawaiian
Electric
shareholders
have
approved the company’s sale to
Florida-based NextEra Energy, the
company said Wednesday.
Owners of 90 percent of the
company’s shares voted for the
deal, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser
reported.
Under state law, the sale needed
approval from at least 75 percent
of shares for it to go through. The
state Public Utilities Commission
must still sign off on the deal for it
to be finalized.
Hawaiian Electric Industries,
which includes subsidiaries on
Oahu, Maui and Hawaii islands,
is the state’s largest electric utility.
NextEra Energy Inc. said it will
save Hawaii ratepayers $60 million over four years by lowering
rates. NextEra said it will triple
solar power production.
The deal last month fell short of
the 75 percent approval needed,
so the company extended a vote
deadline by four weeks.
Maui Mayor Alan Arakawa is
one of the shareholders who voted
no. He said he doesn’t want the
company to rush the sale. He also
said he has received letters and
phone calls from HEI lobbying for
the sale.
As of Dec. 31, the most recent
report available, the Hawaii utility
spent $4.9 million on sale-related
activities. NextEra estimates it will
spend $46 million on sale-related
costs.
The merger costs would not
be recovered through ratepayers, according to both HEI and
NextEra. The company announced
the proposed $4.3 billion sale in
December.

A kiko “Alice” Kukita Masada
Akiko “Alice” Kukita Masada, 87, of Kealakekua died peacefully on June 4, 2015 at home
with her daughter and son-in-law at her side. She worked as an LPN at Hilo Memorial
Hospital until she re-located to Chicago IL in 1953, where she continued to work in
nursing until she retired. She loved gardening, gambling, and the Cubs. She was a loving
and a daily presence in the lives of her children, grand-children, great-grandchildren,
nieces and nephews. We all mourn the loss of her physical presence, but the gift of her
support and unconditional love remain within us.
Private remembrance service is planned. Graveside service to be held at the National
Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) at a later date, where she will be buried with
her husband, Hiroshi Masada. Gratitude to Hospice of Kona for their gentle caring
and presence.
She is survived by daughter Gayle (Keith Winter) Masada of Kailua Kona; sons Wesley
Masada of California, Garry (Joy) Masada of Chicago; sisters Thelma (Take) Matsumoto of
Keauhou, Judy (Al) Esquitin of Chicago, Betty Perry of Reno; 5 grandchildren Trina (Paul)
Wentzel, Kira (Brice) Schemmel, Michaael Sutherland, Jackson Masada, Eliana Masada;
5 great grandchildren, including Ariana and Zoe; 1 great-great grandchild, and numerous
nieces and nephews, including Gregory, Monica, Lisa, David, and Aaron.
Alice will be remembered for her smile and laughter. “They are good!”

in brief
Murder charge dropped against woman who induced abortion
US orders up to 450
more troops to Iraq
WASHINGTON
—
President Barack Obama
ordered the deployment of
up to 450 more American
troops to Iraq on Wednesday
in an effort to reverse major
battlefield losses to the
Islamic State, an escalation
but not a significant shift
in the struggling U.S. strategy to defeat the extremist
group.
The U.S. forces will open
a fifth training site in the
country, this one dedicated
specifically to helping the
Iraqi Army integrate Sunni
tribes into the fight, an element seen as a crucial to
driving the Islamic State out
of the Sunni-majority areas
of western Iraq.
The immediate objective
is to win back the key city of
Ramadi, which was seized
by extremists last month.
The U.S. is insistent that
Americans will not have
a combat role. But in the
deployment of American
forces and the equipping of
Iraqi troops, the U.S. must
make sure “that we can be
nimble because clearly this
is a very nimble enemy,”
Deputy National Security
Adviser Benjamin Rhodes
told reporters.
The plan is not a change
in the U.S. strategy, the
administration says, but
addresses a need to get
Sunnis more involved in the
fight. Some local citizens in
Sunni-majority areas fear an
invasion and reprisals from
Iran-backed Shiite militia
even more than domination
by the Islamic State, underscoring a need for any military campaign there to be
led by local fighters.
BY KATHLEEN FOODY
AND RUSS BYNUM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBANY, Ga. — A Georgia
prosecutor dropped a murder
charge Wednesday but is pursuing a drug possession count
against a 23-year-old woman
accused of ending her pregnancy without a prescription, using
pills she bought online.
Dougherty County District
Attorney Greg Edwards dismissed a malice murder charge
against 23-year-old Kenlissia
Jones, who spent about three
days in jail after seeking help at
a hospital.
But he said Jones still faces
a misdemeanor charge of possessing a dangerous drug, which
Pope creates tribunal
for cases of bishops
who fail to protect
children from
pedophile priests
VATICAN CITY — Pope
Francis took the biggest
step yet to crack down on
bishops who cover up for
priests who rape and molest
children, creating a new
tribunal inside the Vatican
to hear cases of bishops
accused of failing to protect
their flock.
The initiative, announced
Wednesday, has significant
legal and theological implications, since bishops have
long been considered masters of their dioceses and
largely unaccountable when
they bungle their job, with
the Vatican stepping in only
in cases of gross negligence.
That reluctance to intervene has prompted years
of criticism from abuse victims, advocacy groups and
others that the Vatican had
failed to punish or forcibly
remove bishops who moved
predator priests from parish
to parish, where they could
rape again, rather than
report them to police or
remove them from ministry.
By wire sources
Georgia law defines as any drug
requiring a prescription.
The dismissal of the murder charge police had used to
arrest Jones was praised by
Lynn Paltrow, an attorney and
executive director of National
Advocates for Pregnant Women
in New York.
But she said the case still illustrates a creeping trend of prosecuting women who exercise their
right to abortions.
Abortion-rights advocates and
opponents of abortion alike were
stunned by the proposed murder
charge.
Georgia has prohibited the
prosecution of women for feticide or for performing illegal
abortions in cases involving their
own pregnancies. Edwards said
the arresting officers acted within their authority and used “their
best understanding of the law,”
but that their understanding was
incorrect.
Edwards noted that police had
charged Jones without consulting
with his prosecuting attorneys.
Even abortion opponents figured the murder charge wouldn’t
stick.
Jones was arrested after seeking help at a hospital Saturday.
A social worker told police that
Jones had taken four Cytotec
pills she ordered online after
breaking up with her boyfriend.
The pills induced labor and she
delivered the fetus, which did not
survive, in a car on the way to the
hospital, according to an Albany
police report.
While the Supreme Court
has declared American women
have legal rights to abortion,
states have laws that place limits on where abortions can be
performed, who can perform
them and at what stages of pregnancy abortions are allowed.
Traditionally, those laws have
targeted doctors and other abortion providers, but not women
seeking to end their pregnancies.
Abortion rights advocates
worry that this could be changing.
A phone number for Jones
was not accepting incoming
calls Thursday and there was no
answer at the address for her listed on the police report.

Congress, states
must find answer if
high court kills health
subsidies
WASHINGTON
—
Congress and the states will
need to find an answer if
the Supreme Court strikes
down the federal subsidies
that are a foundation of
President Barack Obama’s
health care law, his health
secretary told lawmakers
Wednesday.
Sylvia Burwell also said
the president would reject
any
proposals
restoring those subsidies that
Republican lawmakers have
already produced because
all would roll back crucial
elements of the overhaul
law, in effect repealing it.
Burwell’s comments to
the House Ways and Means
Committee marked a continuation of Obama administration efforts to pressure
Republicans should the
justices void subsidies that
help millions afford health
insurance. A decision is
expected this month.
The GOP runs Congress,
and 26 of the 34 states likely
to be hardest hit by such
a decision have Republican
governors.

Old-time story with the same result
When Capt. James Cook first arrived, the
girls didn’t wear clothes. It was easy, that
way, to decide what to wear every morning.
Nothing. Well, there was always the task
of picking a flower to wear behind the ear,
leading to the inevitable question: “Dear,
which one makes me look thinner — the
white plumeria or the pink hibiscus?” It is a
question in which, as every husband knows,
no “correct” answer but only danger lurks.
The ship’s crew immediately began
trading with the kanaka maoli. The most
popular trade, according to the ship’s
log, was “the world’s oldest trade.” The
price for a smooch in the taro patch with
a fun-loving wahine was a two-penny
nail. The kanaka liked nails because they
made cool fishhooks. So, when a wahine
asked her hubbie, “Honey, do you like
my nails?” she meant she’d spent the
afternoon schmoozing with the barbarians.
Rapid inflation set in. In the blink of a
wink, the price rose to a 10-penny nail.
Predictably, within a few days, the ship
began falling apart as every nail that could
be pried loose mysteriously disappeared.
Unfortunately for Capt. Cook, the big box
hardware stores hadn’t opened yet, so it was
up to the ship’s blacksmith to melt down
the spare anchors and make more nails. By
then, however, the price for a peck on the
cheek had escalated to a diamond necklace.
The English sailors had no diamonds, but
fortunately for them they did have pCards.

Burying the facts
Once again, Big Island newspapers have
buried — put in the second-to-the-last
paragraph — the information that the
proposed Thirty Meter Telescope would
be 18 stories tall (“Standoff continues
atop Mauna Kea,” page 6A, June 7).
As usual, the story has left out the
information that the proposed TMT would
have a footprint of 250,000 square feet,
not including its surrounding parking
lots, roads, support buildings, etc.
For comparison:
1) The tallest building on our
island is an apartment building
in Hilo that has 15 stories.
2) Costco has 156,000 square
feet of floor in its Kona building
(the shopping area is less).
3) Most of the existing telescopes are
about the size of large, two-story houses.
For these and other reasons, the
inappropriateness is overwhelming,
whether or not you use the word “sacred.”
If you’re an American, would you like
to see such a structure above George
Washington’s head at Mount Rushmore?
Donna Worden
Waimea
Mauna Kea is wrong place for TMT
The Hawaii Supreme Court is bypassing
the Intermediate Court of Appeals and
will address the Thirty Meter Telescope
issue directly. The state Board of Land
and Natural Resources and University
of Hawaii insist on allowing this venture
with a footprint of four football fields,
and a height of 18 stories to be built on
conservation-zone sacred Mauna Awakea.
UH is irresponsibly promoting TMT as
the world’s largest telescope and the tallest
building on the island while apologizing
for past negligent care-taking on the
mountain. Many at the university working
in conservation areas see this propossal
as a blatant contradiction. A criterion
required before construction is allowed on
this protected zone is “tolerating the least
degree of development” (Star-Advertiser).
As one of the 31 arrested April 2 as
a practitioner in the spirit of Aloha
Aina, we could not allow continued
desecration of the Mauna. We repeat, we
are not against science; our mountain
is just the wrong place for the TMT.

GEORGE WILL | THE WASHINGTON POST
A vote for TPA is not a vote for Obama
W
ASHINGTON
— Before
presidential
politics — the game of
getting to 270 electoral
votes — completely eclipses
governing, there is the
urgent task of getting to
217 votes in the House of
Representatives to pass
Trade Promotion Authority
(TPA). This would
guarantee a vote without
amendments on the TransPacific Partnership trade
agreement. Without TPA,
any trade agreement will
be nibbled to death in
Congress by persons eager
to do organized labor’s
bidding. So, Republicans
who oppose TPA are
collaborating with those
who oppose increasing the
velocity and rationality
of economic life.
TPA touches two
challenging problems:
one economic, one
constitutional. Regarding
both, conservatives have
special responsibilities.
The economic challenge
is to generate economic
growth sufficient to restore
vigor and upward mobility
to an underemployed
America, sustaining
national security and
entitlements as, every
day, another 10,000
baby boomers become
eligible for Social Security
and Medicare. The
constitutional problem is
how to restore institutional
equilibrium by bringing
the presidency back
within the restraints the
Founders devised with the
separation of powers.
Only conservatives can
turn economic policy away
from the self-defeating
aim of redistribution, and
toward growth. This goal
would be advanced by the
trade agreement among the
12 nations who together
account for 37 percent
of the world’s GDP and
one-third of world trade.
Defeating TPA, and thus
the agreement, is a service
most House Democrats will
perform for a reactionary
faction, organized labor.
Defeat would, however,
make economic dynamism
even more elusive,
punishing the nation
without meaningfully
disciplining the president.
This vote comes in
the turgid wake of a
first quarter in which
the economy shrank
0.7 percent — the third
quarterly contraction
during the anemic recovery
that is slouching into its
seventh year. The aging
recovery began in June
2009; another recession
may arrive without there
having been a real recovery
from the previous one.
For Democrats devoted to
policies of redistribution,
economic growth is
an afterthought. Only
Republicans can make
possible the freer trade that
can combat the lingering
stagnation that is Barack
Obama’s painful legacy.
This month, Republicans
can extinguish the ExportImport Bank, a deplorable
instrument for government
intervention in economic
transactions, simply by
not reauthorizing it. How
perverse it would be to
do so while also opposing
TPA and (hence, in effect)
freer trade, which would
make economic activity
less subject to distortions
by governments.
In the 19th century,
Republicans embraced
a braided duet of vices
— big government and
crony capitalism. Adept at
using tariffs to purchase
the loyalty of particular
constituencies, Republicans
opposed free trade. Twentyfirst century Democrats
generally want government
rather than markets to
regulate commerce and
allocate opportunity,
so they recoil from any
enlargement of the sphere
of economic freedom. The
fact that TPA would make
possible the ratification of
an agreement that is an
imperfect enlargement is
no reason for Republicans
to help Democrats
protect the power of
governments to further
politicize economic life.
Some Republicans are
understandably reluctant
to give any satisfaction
to Obama, who disdains
them as much as he does
constitutional limits on
presidential power. But
a stopped clock is right
twice a day and he rightly
favors freer trade.
Some Republicans
resist granting fast-track
authority, a traditional
presidential prerogative,
to a president who has so
arrogantly disregarded
limits on executive
discretion. It is, however,
unnecessary to defeat fasttrack authority (thereby
defeating freer trade)
in order to restrain this
rogue president. The 22nd
Amendment guarantees his
departure in 19 months.
His lawlessness has
prompted congressional
resistance on multiplying
fronts. The judiciary, too,
has repeatedly rebuked
him for illegal executive
overreaches. So, it is
neither necessary nor
statesmanlike to injure the
nation’s future in order
to protest Obama’s past.
Rep. Paul Ryan
campaigned hard to
prevent a second Obama
term, but he strongly favors
TPA. He notes that if
Obama’s negotiations about
Iran’s nuclear program
were being conducted
under guarantees of
congressional involvement
similar to those contained
in TPA, Congress
would enjoy statutorily
required briefings on
the negotiations and
access to the negotiating
documents. Furthermore,
any agreement with Iran
would have to be made
public for examination
at least 60 days before
Obama signed it, after
which the agreement
could not take effect unless
Congress approves it.
Obama has all the
friends in Congress he has
earned and deserves, so
even among Democrats this
cohort is vanishingly small.
By passing TPA, House
Republicans can achieve a
fine trifecta, demonstrating
their ability to rise
above their justifiable
resentments, underscoring
his dependence on
them and on Congress,
and illustrating his
party’s dependence on
factions inimical to
economic vitality.

FBI owes the public answers about its planes
T
he FBI owes the
public answers
about its planes.
Confronted with
questions about lowflying planes registered
to mysterious companies,
the FBI has admitted
it maintains a fleet of
aircraft, registered with
bogus names, that it uses
for surveillance without
warrants. It defends the
practice as necessary in its
efforts to keep Americans
safe. But Americans’ civil
liberties need safeguarding,
too, and the secret air
force sounds like more
unjustifiable overreach
by a federal agency.
The Associated Press
reported last week that it
has linked 50 airplanes
to the FBI, despite
registration under dummy
names such as FVX
Research, NBR Aviation
and PXW Services. Since
late April, the news
organization documented
more than 100 flights in
11 states, covering cities
and rural communities.
The secretive nature of
the program prevents
the public from knowing
what information the FBI
is gathering and what is
done with the pictures
and data it collects.
Sen. Chuck Grassley,
R-Iowa, has asked FBI
director James Comey Jr.
to explain the purpose of
the air fleet, as well as the
technological capabilities
of the planes, to the House
Judiciary Committee
by June 12. While
acknowledging the bureau
is known to use planes in
criminal investigations,
Grassley told reporters
he has concerns about
warrantless intrusion into
private and public space,
as well as the invention
of companies to hide
ownership of the planes.
Given Americans’
increasing concern about
Big Brother tactics in the
endless war on terror, the
AP report gives fresh cause
for worry. Sophisticated
technology that can help
keep Americans safe can
also erode fundamental
liberties. In short, even
watchdogs need watching.
The FBI may have very
good reasons for what
looks like unnecessary
deceit. Let’s hear them.

Lava insurance
moratorium lifted
The Hawaii Property
Insurance
Association
is now accepting all new
business
applications
and coverage increase
requests, according to
a statement Tuesday
by the state insurance
commissioner.
“This is an opportunity
to safeguard against
unexpected
property
damage,” Hawaii Insurance
Commissioner Gordon Ito
said. “We want to thank
our lawmakers for taking
steps to pass legislation
to lift the moratorium.”
Act 32, which was
signed into law on May
5, requires HPIA to lift
any moratorium on the
issuance of residential
property insurance within
lava zones declared to be
under a lava flow-related
state of emergency by
Hawaii County Mayor Billy
Kenoi.
The lifting of the
moratorium
is
an
opportunity to access
property insurance, which
was previously restricted
due to the Puna lava
flow. Consumers are
encouraged to contact
their insurance agent for
more information.

Meanwhile, the June

Wednesday. The June

TMT issues trespass notices,
verbally warns protesters
BY CHRIS D’ANGELO
HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
A leader in the fight to stop
the Thirty Meter Telescope
from being built atop Mauna
Kea was served with a trespass notice Monday by security guards stationed at the
construction site.
Kahookahi Kanuha said
he and several other protesters, some of which are
Native Hawaiians who call
themselves protectors of
the mountain they consider
sacred, make routine trips, at
least once a week, from their
camp outside the Mauna Kea
Visitor Information Station
to the TMT project site near
the summit to pule and
chant.
“As native tenants of these
lands, as hoaaina, we have
rights to them,” he said. “We
go up there for religious purposes, to pray, so that all of
this hewa, all of this wrongdoing, that is being committed upon the mountain can
hopefully be washed clean.”
The trespass notice from
Private Security Group Inc.,
the company contracted by
TMT, is dated at 12:04 p.m.
and reads: “You are hereby
informed that your presence
is no longer desired upon the
property known as the Thirty
Meter Telescope (TMT) construction site which has been
defined by a marked wire
fence with ‘No Trespassing’
signs posted along its
perimeter.”
If Kanuha returns to the
site within one year, he may

be subject to arrest and prosecuted for trespass, according to the notice.
Charles Long, president
and CEO of Private Security
Group, declined to comment
and suggested the newspaper
contact TMT.
TMT spokesman Gordon
Squires said in a statement
that while two trespassing
notices were issued Monday,
the observatory has been
verbally warning trespassers
and attempting to serve written notices for quite some
time.
On Tuesday, Kanuha posted a photo on his Facebook
page showing his own notice
of trespass that informs its
future recipient their presence “is not, and never has
been, desired upon” Mauna
Kea.
Stamped with the Coat
of Arms of the Kingdom of
Hawaii, the notice states
that the Hawaiian Kingdom
is currently under an illegal
and prolonged occupation
by the United States, and
therefore the general lease of
the land to the University of
“It is often challenging for
our security personnel to get
to the trespassers to deliver
the notices before they withdraw from the site,” he said.
“To ensure the health and
safety of all visitors to the
TMT site, we will continue to
issue trespassing notices as
appropriate.”
Despite his written warning, Kanuha said he has every
intention of returning.
“We don’t cause any harm
to anything,” he said. “We
simply go there to pray, and
then we leave.”
Hawaii and sublease to TMT
are “null and void.”
“If they harass me again, I
will serve my notice,” Kanuha
said.
Construction of the $1.4
billion TMT has been at a
standstill since late-March,
when protesters began blocking construction workers
from making their way to the
summit. On April 2, 31 protesters were arrested.

Heritage center proposed for former Bond library
BY TOM CALLIS
In a state rich in history,
North Kohala — the birthplace of King Kamehameha —
plays no small role in forging
Hawaii’s past.
But this scenic and windswept corner of Hawaii Island
still lacks a place to tell its
story, and a small group of
volunteers is hoping to change
that.
On Friday, a day after the
state celebrates Kamehameha
Day, the state Board of Land
and Natural Resources will
consider supporting their
effort to turn the former library
in Kapaau into a Kohala heritage center.
The board’s action is needed
to cancel a governor’s order
requiring the land to revert to
the heirs of the previous owners once it stops being used as a
library and lease the land to the
group. Caroline Bond donated
the land to the Territory of
Hawaii for the building’s construction in 1928.
The library closed in 2010
following the completion
of the North Kohala Public
Library.
It wasn’t clear if any of
Bond’s heirs have an interest
in the property.
Sharon Hayden of the volunteer group Kaapaapaa said the
building located across from
the town’s Kamehameha statue, would be a perfect place to
display the area’s history.
“Our general notion is that
we want it to be like other places that have community museums where all levels of age
groups get involved,” Hayden
said. She said it also could be a
repository for historical items
from local families.
For now, Hayden said the
group of about five active volunteers doesn’t have a timeline
for when they hope to complete their project.
But she thinks the effort
will be worthwhile even if they
simply succeed in saving the
site.
“It’s one of the 10 most
endangered buildings” in
Hawaii, Hayden said.
“If it ends up in another purpose, then godspeed.”

a believer in our people’s

have taken many thousands of small steps in
the last several hundred
years, but it’s people like
you folks, and now our
children, that need to
carry this forward.”
David,
her
voice
cracking with emotion,
thanked her ancestors
and kupuna for keeping
the history alive, even
while forced underground during the years
of occupation. She said
she regrets that she was
a “child of the successful indoctrination” of
Hawaiian children.
“This has to be the very
beginning of something
huge,” David said. “To see
the children have what
we never had, in learning
about the alii, about who
we are. As early as 1970,
there was nothing in our
school system about our
kings and queens, about
our Hawaiian history.”
The Association of
Hawaiian Civic Clubs
has been asking that holidays traditionally celebrated in the Kingdom of
Hawaii also get state recognition. They also want
the holiday as an official
holiday, so workers get
the day off to celebrate.
The county, however,
doesn’t have the authority to declare official
holidays unless the state
also sanctions them, said
Corporation
Counsel
Molly Stebbins.
Noenoe Wong-Wilson,
a Hawaii Community
College associate professor and a leader in the
Hawaiian Civic Club of

Sandra Song, retired judge, dies at 65
BY JOHN BURNETT
Sandra Pechter Song, a retired
Hilo District Court judge and prominent local attorney, died Wednesday
of cancer at Hospice of Hilo Pohai
Malama Facility. She was 65.
“She was one of the smartest people that I’ve ever been privileged to
know,” said Dixie Kaetsu, a friend
and former county managing director. “And she was a very talented
attorney. She was a scrapper. She
would fight for her clients.”
The Chicago-born Song graduated from Golden Gate University
School of Law in 1974, came to
Hawaii and opened the Molokai
office of the Legal Aid Society of
Hawaii. She later moved to the Big
Island, became a deputy county corporation counsel, and later a partner at Roehrig, Roehrig, Wilson,
Hara, Schutte & de Silva and counsel at Case & Lynch, before her
1997-2003 bench term.
“She was outspoken, and she was
honest,” said Stephanie Salazar,
a friend and Circuit Court clerk.
“… She was fascinated with the
land division system in Hawaii, you
know, the ahupuaa, so when there
was a chance to come to Hawaii,
she did.”
In later years,
Song’s
private
practice focused
on arbitration and
mediation,
land
use, real estate and
civil litigation. She
was also a contract
Song
hearing
officer
for the Hawaii County Planning
Commission, a volunteer mediator and board member of Kuikahi
Mediation Center, and served as
counsel to the Hilo grand jury.
Song’s husband, Jeremy “Jerry”
Song, described her as “a strong,
determined woman.” A retired cobbler who owned the former Modern
Shoe Repair in Hilo, Jeremy Song
said she became his friend when
she was a customer at his shop.
“I asked her to do … a power of
attorney for my daughter, and she
did it for free,” he said. “I said, ‘No,

Imiloa launches new mobile outreach
SPECIAL TO WEST HAWAII TODAY
Imiloa
Astronomy
Center announces the
launch of its newest educational endeavor, MANU
Imiloa, a mobile outreach program aimed at
sharing Imiloa’s unique
brand of culture-based
science education across
the island. Beginning in
the fall, MANU Imiloa
(Modern and Ancient
ways of Navigating our
Universe) will take Imiloa
staff on the road with an
interactive curriculum
inspired by the Polynesian
Voyaging Society’s epic
Worldwide Voyage, and
designed to explore the
skills involved in non-instrument ocean navigation, or wayfinding.
Outreach
will
be
offered in two formats.
NOIO (Non-instrument
Orientation,
an
Introduction to Oceanic
Wayfinding) is a 30- to
60-minute package that
can be delivered on request
by K-12 schools and community centers, or offered
as part of local events.
Audiences of all ages gather around a model of the
Hawaiian Star Compass
or sit inside Imiloa’s digital portable planetarium
to learn how wayfinders
rely upon the stars and
their relationship with the
environment to determine
course and direction.
The second offering,
KOLEA (Keeping Our
Legacy of Exploration
Alive), is an over twoweek curriculum package
designed specifically for
middle school teachers
to adopt for seventh and
eighth grade science or
math classes. Titled “The
Geometry of Wayfinding,”
it explores the geometry
and science that undergird traditional Polynesian
non-instrumental navigation. Created using
Moenaha — a culture-based curriculum
design and instructional
model — and developed
with the guidance of a
teacher advisory committee, this experience
aligns with Common Core
State Math Standards, Na
Honua Mauli Ola Cultural
Guidelines for Learners,
and Next Generation
Science
Standards.
KOLEA comprises six
units designed to be
taught over two weeks,
with one unit delivered
in an outreach visit by
Imiloa staff, and the others pre- and post-visit lessons to be taught by the
classroom teacher.
Along with curriculum,
KOLEA offers participating teachers specialized training, access to

Milwaukee picks Waiakea grad Torres-Costa
BY MATT GERHART
In 2012, Waiakea lefthanders Quintin TorresCosta and Kodi Medeiros
provided a one-two pitching force at the HHSAA
Division I baseball tournament. They combined
to allow one earned run
in three games to lead
the Warriors to their first
state championship, then
went their separate ways.
If Torres-Costa so
desires, he can try and
reunite with his former
teammate in the pros. He
was selected Wednesday

draft by the Milwaukee
Three years after pitching Waiakea to the state

Brewers, the team that
picked Medeiros in the
first round last year.
“It’s kind of unreal
that we were both drafted by the same team,”
said Torres-Costa, who is
back on the Big Island
after turning around his
career as a reliever at the
University of Hawaii. “It’s
always been my dream to
play pro baseball.”
He learned of his selection when he received
a congratulatory call
him while he was driving home, and shortly
thereafter he talked with
Brewers area scout Josh
Belovsky.
“(He) said I reminded
them of Kodi,” TorresCosta said, “and that I
have some good pitches. I just don’t throw as
hard.”

BY NESHA STARCEVIC
COLOGNE, Germany
— Five days after beating the Netherlands for
the first time, the United
States defeated Germany
in Germany for the first
time.
The Americans could
not be more confident
heading into next month’s
CONCACAF Gold Cup.
“It makes us world
champions, right?” goalkeeper Brad Guzan joked
after Wednesday night’s
2-1 victory over the
Germans.
Bobby Wood, whose
90th-minute goal Friday
gave the U.S. a 4-3 win
in Amsterdam, scored in
the 87th minute for the
improbable victory in an
exhibition against the
nation that won last year’s
World Cup.
U.S. captain Michael
Bradley passed to Brad
Evans, wide on the right
flank, and Evans made a
25-yard diagonal pass to
Wood, who had entered
in the 74th minute. Wood
trapped the ball just outside the arc, swiveled, took
a touch and sent a 23-yard
shot on a hop past goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler.
“I think we did that like
20 times yesterday,” Wood
said. “It’s kind of funny
that it happened that
exact way.”
It was just the second
international goal for the
22-year-old from Hawaii,
whose German club,
Erzgebirge Auehas, was
relegated to the third division during a season in
which he was slowed by
injury.
“Bobby Wood is a work
in progress,” U.S. coach
Jurgen Klinsmann said.
“He had a very difficult
season.”
The U.S. had lost its previous two games against
the Germans in Germany:
4-2 in 2002 and 4-1 in
2006. The Americans

asking the court to weigh
in on a contract dispute
with Arnold. The former
coach has filed a grievance against the school,
saying he’s entitled to $1.4
million in damages on the
grounds the university
violated the terms of his
contract when it fired him
without cause last year.
The NCAA in January
accused the basketball
program of violating
coaching and recruiting
rules.
CHICAGO — Brandon
Saad drove the net and had
the puck poked away by
Andrei Vasilevskiy. When
he somehow found it again,
Saad gave it a desperate
backhand whack that just
happened to send it right
between Vasilevskiy’s moving pads.
Saad refused much credit for his tiebreaking goal
in Game 4 of the Stanley
Cup Final. He knows that a
few fortunate bounces have
been the only differences
in four games between the
Chicago Blackhawks and
the Tampa Bay Lightning,
who seem determined to
take this championship
series down to a fantastic
finish.
Saad scored with 13:38
to play, and captain
Jonathan Toews got his
first goal of the series as
the Blackhawks beat the
Lightning and their rookie goalie 2-1 Wednesday
night, knotting the Final at
two games apiece.

Lose the playoff beards,
NBC boss tells the NHL
The NHL playoff beard is the stuff of tradition and is grown by grizzled veterans and
baby-faced rookies alike.
As initially introduced by Ken Morrow
of the New York Islanders, who won four
straight titles in the late 1970s and early
1980s, the beard begins at the start of a
team’s postseason run and does not come off
until a team either is eliminated, or better
yet, hoists the Stanley Cup. The tradition
has extended through all of hockey’s ranks
and has even been used to raise millions for
charity.
However, NBC Sports Chairman Mark
Lazarus would like the tradition to stop, and
since NBC pays the NHL $2 billion in rights
fees, his voice actually counts.
For Lazarus, the noble concepts of team
building and camaraderie are trumped by
the idea that the beards partially obscure
the players’ faces, thus making them more
difficult to recognize on television.
“The players won’t like this, but I wish
they all would stop growing beards in the
postseason,” Lazarus told the Chicago
Tribune. “Let’s get their faces out there. Let’s
talk about how young and attractive they
are. What model citizens they are. (Hockey
players) truly are one of a kind among professional athletes.”
“I know it’s a tradition and superstition,
but I think [the beards do] hurt recognition.
They have a great opportunity with more
endorsements. Or simply more recognition
with fans saying, ‘That guy looks like the kid
next door,’ which many of these guys do. I

James taking his greatness to new
level with NBA Finals mastery

Warriors need
Curry to take over
BY MARCUS THOMPSON II
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
CLEVELAND —
LeBron James has
imposed his will on the
NBA Finals. He has created a blueprint for how
a superstar impacts a
game at this level, dominates the ultimate series.
Now Stephen Curry
needs to do the same
for the Warriors.
He needs to flip the
switch and go into takeover mode. It would be
ideal for the coaching
staff to give him the
green light, but if not, he
needs to take it anyway.
The Warriors need
Curry to play like the
NBA’s Most Valuable
Player in all-important
Game 4 of the NBA
Finals on Thursday night.
The Warriors trail James’
Cleveland Cavaliers 2-1 in
the series and desperately
need to win this game.
How big is Game 4?
In the history of the
NBA Finals, no team
has ever recovered from
a 3-1 deficit to win
the championship.
We saw in the fourth
quarter of Game 3 on
Tuesday night what it
looks like when Curry
gets in the zone. The fear
he struck in the Cavaliers,
the trouble he caused
their defenders, the confidence he gave his teammates — it was a trailer of
what it would look like if
he took over this series.
It’s not about how
many shots Curry makes
or misses. Nor about
his assist-to-turnover
ratio. No one is talking
about LeBron’s inefficiency, instead prepping
the sketches for his
carving on the NBA’s
Mount Rushmore.
This is about Curry
playing as if he knows he
belongs in that elite class
of players. The Warriors
need him to impose his
will on the Cavaliers.
Now more than ever, in
this crucial Game 4, the
Warriors need Curry to be
the Baby-Faced Assassin.
And not wait until
they’re down 20 points.
“I challenge myself,”
Curry said Wednesday.
“I do have to play better
and play more consistent and do more to
help our team win.”
Curry doesn’t have
LeBron’s experience of
starring on the NBA
Finals stage, and at
times it has shown.
But Curry does have
experience leading these
Warriors. He does have a
track record of carrying
this bunch. Throughout
the playoffs, Curry has
changed the tenor of
every series by putting on
his cape and taking over.
Down 20 in the fourth
quarter of Game 3 at
New Orleans, he led a
comeback with 40 points
and seven 3-pointers as
the Warriors stole hope
away from the Pelicans
in the first round.
Down 2-1 in the
Memphis series, he put
together a gem of a Game
4 with 33 points and
four 3-pointers as the
Warriors surged away
from the Grizzlies.
Up 2-0 against
Houston after two epic
duels with James Harden,
Curry stepped on the gas
and led the Warriors to a
road rout of the Rockets,
scoring 40 on 12-of-19
shooting including 7-of9 from beyond the arc.
Curry almost did it
Tuesday night, trimming
19 points off the Cavaliers’
lead in 12 minutes.
Now Curry needs to
do it in Game 4. How?
Step 1: Go after
Dellavedova.
The narrative of this
series is how Cavaliers
backup Matthew
Dellavedova has been
shutting down the MVP.
It’s not entirely true.
The former Saint
Mary’s College point
guard from Australia is
playing good defense,
but he’s getting a big
assist from the Warriors’
insistence on sticking to their system.
Warriors coach Steve
Kerr prefers motion
and ball movement.
Curry is unselfish and
buys into the system,
drawing double-teams
and passing to open
teammates and trusting
them to hit open shots.
The Warriors should
keep the ball in Curry’s
hands and allow him
go one-on-one against
Dellavedova — forcing
the Aussie to defend in
open space in plain view
of the referees. And don’t
let a few good defensive
stands be a deterrent.
Do this all game.
Step 2: Lead the
team emotionally.
Curry isn’t much of a
verbal communicator.
But his mood, his body
language, his disposition is contagious.
Tuesday, after the
Cavaliers’ lead reached
20, Curry picked up
his head. His frustrated demeanor was
replaced with a straight
face and a cold stare.
He came down and
immediately drilled a
3-pointer. Then forced a
steal. Then dropped in
a pull-up jumper, after
which he drew an offensive foul. Then his penetration set up Leandro
Barbosa’s jumper.
In a span of a 1 minute, 34 seconds, Curry
changed the team’s tone.
He forced his teammates
to lock in by suggesting
with his play he would
go it alone if need be.
If Curry is relentless,
the Warriors are relentless. If Curry is having
fun, the Warriors are having fun. If Curry is fed up,
the Warriors are fed up.
LeBron has the
Cavaliers’ career role players believing they belong
in NBA history. He has
inspired his teammates
to play above their heads,
convinced them they are
better than they are.
That’s the kind of
emotional leadership
the Warriors could use
from Curry. Of course,
it helps that LeBron has
been to the NBA Finals
six times. But Curry can
have a similar impact.
That’s the burden
of being the MVP.
BY MICHAEL LEE
THE WASHINGTON POST
CLEVELAND — The
love that became hate is
love again. LeBron James
is carrying Cleveland on
his back, injecting more
fire into Quicken Loans
Arena with a patchwork
team than the pre-game
pyrotechnics in an unfamiliar way no one could
have predicted before the
season began, much less
the NBA Finals. Cavaliers
fans have responded to
him rapping lyrics in
pregame warmups, his
slow motion claps and
mimed bow-and-arrow
celebrations as if James
is responsible for the
invention of flames.
James went to Miami
for a four-year championship fling but might
have returned for a longer, more passionate
love affair; a marriage of
choice not convenience.
Cavaliers fans immediately accepted James
back as if “The Decision”
and the departure never
happened — coming
back with that well-crafted letter was really all it
took. James has no need
to remember the boos or
burned jerseys. Neither
side sought forgiveness
and James’s pushing the
Cavaliers the closest to a
title they have ever been
has only strengthened
their odd, conditional
connection.
“I think time heals all,”
James said Wednesday.
“It was a bitter moment
when I left the first time,
but it’s a sweet moment
here now that I’m back.
Both sides had an opportunity to kind of miss
each other, and they say
if it’s worth having and
it’s supposed to be there,
then it will always come
back.”
Miami was able to
get James at his physical prime and the height
of his efficiency, but
Cleveland is now experiencing the beauty of a
more determined version
whose mental approach
to the game has reached
sublime levels. James has
mastered the next move
and counter move of the
opposition, can provide
direction and belief for
his teammates, and isn’t
afraid of the sometimes
gruesome
statistical
results of being overly aggressive. Winning
two championships in
Miami has given James
the confidence to understand the galactic reach
of his talents and leadership — and now he
has the Cavaliers up 2-1
against the Golden State
Warriors with Game 4
on Thursday at Quicken
Loans Arena.
The only help James
really needs is from
within and his limited
teammates can feed off
the swagger and aura he
exudes. What remains
of the Cavaliers’ roster doesn’t have to do
much more than play
hard because James is
playing harder. At the
conclusion of Game 3,
James hunched over
and wrapped his hands
around the basketball
like a football long-snapper, energy zapped after
playing all but two minutes. James has played
142 of a possible 154
minutes this series and
has no time to hide nor

THE KING’S COURT
LEBRON JAMES THROUGH GAME 3 OF THE FINALS
• LeBron James has scored 123 points through the
first three games of the NBA Finals, a new record. He
surpassed Rick Barry’s 122 set in 1967.
• Of the 154 minutes of game time in Games 1-3,
James has sat for 12 of them. He has played 142
minutes and six seconds so far.
• James has scored 42.3 percent of the Cavaliers
points in Games 1-3 (123 of 291).
• James (25) has two more assists than the rest of
the Cavaliers combined through three games (23).

rest when on the hardwood. James’s usage
percentage — a measure
of how often the team’s
offense runs through
him — is a whopping 44
percent, up from 32.3 in
the regular season, when
he had Kyrie Irving and
Kevin Love around.
Three of the four highest usage rates in James’s
career have all come in
the past three rounds of
this postseason against
Chicago, Atlanta and
Golden State, with the
only other performance
to crack the list being the
2009 conference finals
against Orlando in his
previous jaunt with the
Cavaliers.
“Everyone knows in
this room he’s an efficient guy, and he has that
attitude going in,” Irving
said. “But for us to be
successful, we just need
him to continue what
he’s doing and have that
killer mindset. Destroy
anyone and everyone
that’s in front of him.”
The Cavaliers are making the most of James dictating the offense, with
him scoring or assisting
on 200 of the Cavaliers’
291 points. James has
taken 117 shots to score
123 points in the first
three games this series.
He is the first player with
multiple 40-point Finals
games since his former
teammate,
Dwyane
Wade, had two in 2006.
Jerry West and Michael
Jordan share the record
with four 40-point Finals
games in 1969 and 1993,
respectively, and James
might need to match
that or set a new mark
to deliver a championship that would arrive
must faster than he
anticipated.
“No one expected us to
be where we’re at right
now — and it’s because of
LeBron James that we’re
here,” teammate Mike
Miller said. “He understands the situation,
which is what makes him
so special. He’s so smart.
What makes him a great
player is he adapts to his
surroundings.”
James’s powers seem
to increase the more the
Cavaliers’ roster is decimated, as if he assumes
the powers of his lost
teammates. Love has his
left shoulder yanked out,
James becomes a more
ferocious rebounder and
occasional power forward. Kyrie Irving breaks
his left knee cap, James
becomes more of a playmaker, gets to the rim
a little easier and even
borrows his Uncle Drew
costume. After Iman
Shumpert hurt his shoulder and returned, James
said, “We just can’t afford
any injuries right now.
We’re already depleted.”
But losing Shumpert
might not be the death
knell for the Cavaliers,
since James would just
add more energy to slow
down Klay Thompson
or Steph Curry — and
regain the ability to grow
a high-top fade.
James is the most
unlikely underdog, since
he has spent so much
time in Miami as the
most dominant force on
an unfairly talented team
that featured two perennial all-stars, including
a former Finals MVP.
Now he is leading a team
that is missing two allstars and features an
undrafted second-year
point guard (Matthew
Dellavedova), two rejects
from the New York
Knicks (J.R. Smith and
Iman Shumpert), a former third-string center
from Denver (Timofey
Mozgov) and player who
got little run in the regular season (James Jones).
“It’s been a difficult
challenge, a tough challenge, but I knew that,”
James said. “Being the
sole leader of a team and
a franchise, it’s taxing,
but I accept the challenge. I accept it all, and
I’m okay with it.”
When Irving went
down, Cleveland was
expected to provide the
same resistance for the
Warriors as brushes at a
car wash, the final shine
on a pristine season. But
the Cavaliers have taken
on a grittier identity that
James readily admits is
“not cute.”
What the Cavaliers
have become, and what
James has been forced to
become over the course
of this season, has made
a beleaguered fan base
in a 51-year title chase
more appreciative of its
prodigal son.
“I’m happy to be back,”
James said. “I know the
fans are excited and exuberant about me being
back. Not only just about
me, this team, putting
this team back in the
position where they can
compete and have something to talk about from
our side, the basketball
side. And it’s been pretty
cool so far.”

before that, and Chicago added
six more runs in the seventh.
Shane Greene (4-6) allowed
five runs and seven hits in three
innings, another poor outing for
the right-hander who looked so
sharp at the beginning of the
season. Greene allowed one
earned run over his first three
starts for the Tigers. Since then,
he’s posted an 8.60 ERA.
Arrieta gave up three runs

back spasms. Seager helped
Seattle win for the second
straight day at Progressive

Seager hit his second career
grand slam, connecting in the

Yamauchi punched
his first ticket to the
round of 16 at the

play
championship
Wednesday, putting
away former champion
Brandon Kop 5 and 4
at Oahu Country Club.
Yamauchi has needed
only 26 holes to dispose
of his two opponents in
match play.
“I think the key is I’m
not making mistakes,
and when I do they are
not that bad,” Yamauchi
said of his fourth try at
the event. “It helps to
have momentum when
you’re playing such
a good player on his
course.”
Yamauchi will face

Chin

morning.
Punahou product Chin,
who tied for second
at the 2015 HHSSA
championships, kept
UH-Hilo from laying
claim to a quarter of the
field when he outlasted
Nick Matsushima in
a match that went 20
holes.
Matsushima, who
along with Yamauchi
recently
exhausted his eligibility with
the Vulcans, staged
a furious rally on the
back nine to make up
a four-shot deficit.
Matsushima tied the
match with a birdie on No. 17, but after
each made par on
consecutive holes, Chin
came up with a birdie.
“Andrew made a
good putt on the last
hole,” Yamauchi said.
Former
Vulcans
Isaac Jaffurs and Chris
Shimomura also will
try to reach the quarterfinals Thursday.
Jaffurs
ousted
Waiakea junior Shon
Katahira 4 and 3, firing two eagles on
par-5 holes as he tries
to repeat his run from
a year ago. In 2014,
Jaffurs reached the
final before falling to

who has since turned

Shimomura regained
his lead on No. 16 and
went on to beat Kyle

hole since Monday’s
qualifying, when he
shot a 71. He thought
he might be destined
for a longer match

TORRES-COSTA: In all, eight
players drafted from Hawaii
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Thanks to a bounceback performance in his
redshirt sophomore season at UH, Torres-Costa
is a pitcher with options
just two years removed
from Tommy John surgery. If he signs with the
Brewers as the 1,051st
overall pick he would
not command anywhere
near the hefty signing
bonus that Medeiros
received as the 12th
pick in the 2014 draft
out of Waiakea. TorresCosta also can choose to
return to the Rainbow
Warriors to work on his
Big West scoreless-innings streak and try to
improve his stock in
next year’s draft.
Torres-Costa, who
earned all-Big West
honors after not allowing an earned run in
his final 23 innings
and nailing down eight
saves, wasn’t ready to tip
his hand.
“I feel confident
where I stand,” he said.
“I haven’t made my decision yet.
“Kodi told me about
the experience of being
in the minors. I’m
just glad to have the
opportunity.”
It’s unclear how
much money he would
receive upfront from
the Brewers. Hilo High
graduate Jodd Carter
went 11 rounds higher
in last year’s draft and
signed for $75,000 with
the Cleveland Indians.
His local pitching
coach, Gerry Meyer,
doesn’t think it’s a tough
decision.
“I’ve already talked to (Quintin) and I
told him to go (pro),”
said Meyer, who also
coached Medeiros. “He’s
got a lot of potential and
I think he’s kind of being
wasted at Manoa, to be
honest.”
Hawaii
coach
Mike Trapasso told
the
Tribune-Herald
two weeks ago that
Torres-Costa’s next step
in college was to refine a
secondary pitch to complement his fastball.
Meyer said he’s been
working with TorresCosta on two additional
pitches – a cutter that
either dives down or to
the inside and a palm
ball that looks like a
changeup – to go along
with a fastball that has
reached the low 90s.
“I owe all the credit
to Coach Meyer,” TorresCosta said.
HAWAII HAUL
Two
teammates
Torres-Costa closed for
last season were selected earlier Wednesday as
the 40-round three-day
draft wrapped up. UH
junior right-hander Tyler
Brashears, who sported
a 1.86 ERA in 2015, went
in the 14th round to the
Tampa Bay Rays, while
junior right-hander LJ
Brewster was taken by
the Miami Marlins in the
22nd round.
“They deserve all the
credit for their hard
work and dedication,”
Trapasso said in a UH
release. “… proof that our
program develops pitchers, as none of the three
were drafted out of high
school.”
In all, eight players from Hawaii were
drafted. On Monday,
Campbell graduate Ian
Kahaloa became the first
player from the state
to hear his name called
when the Reds took the
right-hander with the
145th pick. University of
Kentucky junior outfielder Ka‘ai Tom, an ‘Iolani
graduate, went nine picks
later in the fifth round to
the Cleveland Indians. …
Also on Wednesday,
another ‘Iolani grad,
Northern Colorado outfielder Jensen Park,
went in the 32nd round
to the Colorado Rockies,
and the Rays took
Nevada outfielder Kewby
Meyer (KamehamehaKapalama) and ‘Iolani
left-hander
Kahiau
Winchester in the 37th
and 40th rounds, respectively.
SOCCER: Lost previous two
games against the Germans
scare in injury time,
when Sami Khedira
bounced a header off the
crossbar.
“It’s such a monumental win for us as a country and a federation,”
Guzan said. “It’s important that we build some
momentum going into
the Gold Cup. We know
ultimately this summer
is about us winning the
Gold Cup. That’s our
No. 1 goal.”
The Americans won
the 2013 Gold Cup title
and would earn a berth
in the Confederations
Cup if they win this
year’s tournament. If
another nation wins,
it would meet the U.S.
in a playoff for the
Confederations
Cup
spot.
“We should feel like
as we head into big,
important games in the
Gold Cup that we have
nothing to be afraid of,
and we can step on the
field against any team
and can cause anybody
trouble and can beat
anybody,” Bradley said.
BEARDS: Complaints have fallen
on deaf ears and dulled razors
think that would be a
nice thing.”
Lazarus’s
feelings
aren’t just idle mutterings heard in boardrooms at the network’s
30 Rockefeller Center
headquarters; he says he’s
taken his concerns directly to NHL officials, the
NHL Players Association
and directly to the players
themselves.
His complaints have
fallen on deaf ears, or
rather, dulled razors.
“But I’m just a TV
guy,” Lazarus told the
Tribune. “They don’t
want to listen to me. I
know there are some
traditions and superstitions that you can’t mess
with,” Lazarus said. “But
this is one tradition I
could do without.”
For the record, ratings
for Saturday’s Game 2 of
the Cup final between
Chicago and Tampa
Bay were the best for a
Game 2 since NBC got
the NHL nine years ago.
In fairness to Lazarus,
though, the Cup game
did have a lead-in of
American
Pharoah
going for the Triple
Crown in the Belmont.
But the overnight ratings for Monday’s Game
3, which aired on NBC
Sports Network, were
up 16 percent from last
year’s Game 3 between
the New York Rangers
and Los Angeles Kings,
so someone was watching, even with all those
beards.

SPECIAL TO WEST
HAWAII TODAY
Three years after the last
piece of timber went into
place at the Hawaii Wildlife
Center, the native animal
rescue facility is hard at
work giving the injured a
second chance.
The center, based in
Kapaau, provides care and
rehabilitation of winged
creatures from across the
archipelago, and also training in wildlife rescue. HWC
is celebrating its third birthday this month with eight
birds in its care, including a pueo from Lanai, a
Hawaiian petrel from Maui
and Hawaiian hawks from
the Big Island.
HWC founder and director Linda Elliott was part of
a team caring for 28 Laysan
ducks as they were transported to Kure Atoll from
Midway Atoll in September
to help expand the numbers
of the critically endangered
bird. Saturday, Elliott told a
gathering of about 30 people at the center that they
were part of a network that
makes her work possible.
“We are the center but
it takes eyes everywhere,”
Elliott said. “All of you
spreading the word we are
here gives us the opportunity to save more animals.”
Elliott has been rehabilitating animals in Hawaii
and elsewhere for decades.
It struck her as odd that
a wildlife hospital was
lacking in a state with the
distinction of being the
endangered species capital
of the U.S. Elliott drew up
the first plans for the center in 1994, but it wasn’t
until a decade later that
the center gained traction
under the umbrella of the
North Kohala Community
Resource Center. The HWC
became its own nonprofit
in 2006, and construction
of the center off Lighthouse
Road started in 2008.
Today, the center employs
Cherie Lavoie, top, competes in
the evening gown competition and
Chariya Terlep-Cabatbat, bottom,
performs the hulu kahiko during the
talent portion of the pageant.

Something’s fishy in Puako —
at least according to handyman
and charter boat captain Will
Little.
“It has come to my attention
that there is an illegal slaughter
of reef fish and the taking of protected green sea turtles. There
doesn’t seem to be any way to get
the locals, either residents or law
enforcement, to do anything so I
am appealing to the world news
and Fox News’ ability to reach
the masses,” Little wrote to West
Hawaii Today. “It is my job to
take people out and enjoy what
God has given us — dolphins,
whales, turtles and a myriad of
other beautiful creatures. It has
come to my attention that there
is a very small group of people
not from our island going in at
night and killing pretty much
everything in sight. With all
of the federal monies spent on
worthless programs, I appeal to
you guys to bring this to the
attention of the world so that
maybe we can put a stop to it.”
Little claims honu have completely disappeared from the
first public access area after M’s

Waikoloa Village was bustling with
action Saturday morning as dozens of
runners took to the streets for the fifth
annual Friends of the Library-Waikoloa
Region Walk/Run for Literacy.
“It is our major fundraiser for us,”
said FL-WR Past President Bette
Green. “It is not so much that the race
earns money, but it keeps us in the
forefront of the community’s mind as a
reminder of why we are here and how
important books and literacy are.”
FL-WR is a nonprofit organization
that was formed in 2010 with the primary goal of bringing a Hawaii state
library to the Waikoloa region.
INDEX
Many strides have been made
toward that goal. A piece of land by
the Waikoloa Stables has been secured
as the land for the library, community support and government backing
have been garnered, and the state has
released funds for the design of the
library building.
While the group is well on its way to
seeing its dream achieved, a beautifully
decorated bookmobile has filled the
void in the meantime.
“Our mission is to provide a learning
resource center and intergenerational gathering place via the traditional
bookmobile until a permanent library
facility can be built,” said Green.

AARP launches anti-scam effort
BY JOHN BURNETT
How to arm yourself
against identity theft,
investment fraud and
other financial scams is
the focus of two “Scam
Jam” sessions on Tuesday
in Hilo.
The free morning and
evening sessions are open
to the public and are
co-sponsored by AARP,
the state Office of the
Securities Commissioner,
the Better Business
Bureau of Hawaii and
the state Department of
the Attorney General (see
sidebar for time, place and
registration info).
AARP Hawaii State
President Gerry Silva said
most people are more
susceptible to falling prey
to scam artists than they
realize.
“With just a few simple
pieces of information like
a credit card number and
a password, they’re able to
assume the lives of their
victims without us realizing it — until the damage
is done,” he said.
Lisa Nakao, operations
director for BBB Hawaii,
said the Federal Trade
Commission reported
that in 2014, government agencies reported
1.5 million fraud-related
complaints nationwide,
with 5,957 of those filed
by Hawaii residents.
“People lost $1.7 billion
total in 2014 (nationally),”
she said.
Jackie Boland, AARP’s
community
outreach
director, said part of the
two-hour seminars will
be spent on “persuasion
tactics that con artists use
to get people to part with
their money.”
“We worked with the
FBI and sifted through
about 500 tapes to figure out what the key tactics that con artists used,
and those tactics were
put into this piece of this
presentation called ‘The
Con Artist’s Playbook,’”
she said. “We talk about
the tactics and we give
the audience a chance to
see the tactic used and see
if they can identify what
persuasion technique is
being used.”
Boland said AARP participated in a recent statewide teleforum on scams
with about 1,000 callers,
“and a lot of the questions
This postcard was part of an “advance fee” and information fraud scheme.
Those who called the number were asked to pay $4.95 to activate a bogus
“reward” card and to provide a credit card number to do so. HAWAII POLICE
DEPARTMENT
came from the east side
of the Big Island. People
were talking about the
Microsoft scam.”
Boland said the scam
includes someone calling, saying they’re from
Microsoft and they can
fix computer crashes by
directing the victim to a
website where they take
control of the victim’s
computer,
download
personal information,
plant a virus on the computer, and then charge
the victim to remove the
virus.
“We are telling people to never allow somebody calling you access
to your computer and
never give somebody
on the phone your personal information,” she
said. “They may claim
to be from a respected
institution, but you need
to then call them back
on another number that
you know, not a number
that they’re giving you
on the phone.”
Theresa Kong Kee,
investor education specialist from the state
Office of the Securities
Commissioner, said FBI
figures from 2013 indicate that Ponzi schemes
“are the number-one
investment fraud in
Hawaii.” Those schemes
usually start by offering investors unusually
high returns, and the
operators pay investors
from capital from new
investors, rather from
Scam Jam sessions on Tuesday
on your broker through
FINRA’s Broker Check.
The only challenge with
that is that FINRA does
not update (regularly).
It’s a regulatory body. …
That’s why I say Google
first. Google is in real
time.’”
Angela Kaiwikuamoohoihou, a crime prevention specialist for the state
Attorney General’s office,
said her presentation will
focus on identity theft and
charity fraud.
She said advance fee
fraud, where scammers
ask for money upfront
with a promise of a prize,
money, goods or services
for a fee — the victims
never see their money
or hear from the scammers again — is a popular scheme among con
artists. Also on the rise
are rental fraud schemes,
where an overly attractive “rental” opportunity
is put online.
“There are fake applications that are posted
on Craigslist,” she said.
“People apply for them;
they supply their personal
information. No one gets
back to them. And someone has all that personal
information.”
Kaiwikuamoohoihou
also noted charity scams,
such as the one in which
four national cancer
charities, The Cancer
Fund of America, Cancer
Support Services, The
Children’s Cancer Fund
of America and The
Breast Cancer Society,
are accused of swindling donors nationwide,
including Hawaii, out of
millions of dollars.
Concluded
Boland:
“Because we have so many
partners working on it,
we’re pretty much covering the depth and breadth
of fraud and scams.”

profits earned by the
business.
Examples include former Maui accountant
Lloyd Kimura, who was
sentenced to 11 years in
prison for a 24-year-long
Ponzi scheme that bilked
investors of an estimated $20 million, and
Roberta “Buddy” Wong,
a Hilo woman who was
sentenced to federal
probation in 2013 for a
decade-long scheme prosecutors said netted about
$475,000.
“We probably have close
to 90, 100 cases right
now statewide. These
types of frauds, when you
wipe out people’s life savings, it’s really hard to
recoup the money,” Kong
Kee said. “If you’re hit by
a credit card scam or bad
check, those are smaller
amounts.”
Kong Kee advises
those who have investments through a broker
to “check to see if the
person’s registered” to sell
securities.
“If you think you’re a
victim, report it and do
it as soon as you can, and
we can help you through
the process. Don’t wait,”
she said.
She said people can
search brokercheck.com
to get information about a
broker or investment company from the Financial
Industry
Regulatory
Authority, or FINRA.
That advice was echoed
by John Kai, president
of Pinnacle Investment
Group in Hilo.
“I suggest that people, before they come
see me, Google us,” Kai
said. “Google ‘Pinnacle
Investment
Group,’
Google ‘John Kai’ and see
what you come up with.
If you have any questions
as it relates to what you
found or any concerns,
bring them to me when
we get together.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Woman shows up to funerals and flirts with ex-husband
Dear Annie: I am
confused about how to
handle my husband’s
ex-girlfriend, who shows
up at his family funerals
and stays three hours
at the visitation hanging with my husband
and reminiscing about
the past. They discuss
things out loud with
no respect for me.
This woman is married,
but never comes to these
gatherings with her husband. And my husband
still does her taxes, even
though I told him he
shouldn’t. He’s opening
the door to trouble.
I do trust my husband,
but not her. She definitely is still attracted
to him, and it shows. Is
her behavior normal, or
should I tell her at the
next funeral to pay her
respects and leave? —
Not Jealous, Just Hurt
Dear Not: Please
don’t let your insecurities
cause you to overreact. If
you trust your husband,
it doesn’t matter what
his ex-girlfriend does.
And how often does the
family have funerals that
you need to worry about
this? We agree that she
is being inappropriately flirtatious, but it is
only a big deal if your
husband responds in a
similar fashion. We suggest you chummy up to
this ex-girlfriend at these
events. It will totally baffle her, greatly impress
your husband and make
her less of a threat to you.
Dear Annie: You
printed a letter from
“Expecting Mom in the
Midwest,” who asked
for a response when
rude people ask, “Was it
planned?” You suggested, “Why do you need to
know?” I think a good
answer would be, “Of
course! God planned
it!” I love your column.
— Bossier City, La.
Dear Bossier City:
Your response was by far
the most popular one we
received. We appreciate all who sent in their
personal preferences.
Here are a few samples:
From Pat: Your
response was masterful.
Another retort (not original to me) would be: “If
people ask you, tell them
you don’t know.” And a
gentler response: “I’m
hurt by your question.”
El Paso: In my opinion, a better answer to
this question is: “Well,
I guess that’s really
between my husband and
me. Don’t you agree?”
R.: I would simply
say, “Yes, it was planned,
but if we plan another,
should we inform you
first?” There seem to
be more ignorant and
stupid people in today’s
world, and they have
no filters between their

brains and mouths.
P.: When asked, “Was
this pregnancy planned,”
I would say, “I give up.
Was it?” I have used this
more times than I can
say, and it always works.
Mother of Twins:
I would simply ask,
“Were you?”
Tyler, Texas: Someone
could reply, “It was more
planned than the question you just asked!”
Salisbury, Pa.: I’ve
found this response
works: “Why in the world
would you ask such a
personal question? It’s
rude, and you’re normally not a rude person.
Are you feeling OK?”
Whenever you end with
a question, the other
person feels compelled
to answer. So throw it
back in their court, and
watch ‘em squirm. They
deserve a little squirming.
