County promises, pays to settle ADA lawsuit
BY NANCY COOK LAUER
WEST HAWAII TODAY
ncook-lauer@westhawaiitoday.com
Hawaii County has embarked
upon a two-year plan to
improve services for those disabled individuals who can’t
ride the Hele-On public bus
system.
The paratransit plan, which
will cost about $800,000 the
first year, is part of a 20-page
settlement agreement signed
Aug. 13 by U.S. District
Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi in
Honolulu after the county was
sued for not complying with
the federal Americans with
Disabilities Act.
Maui resident Ed Muegge
filed the lawsuit claiming he
was denied equal access to the
transit system because he uses
an electric scooter. He said he
needs public transportation to
get from Kona International
Airport to Uncle Billy’s Kona
Bay Hotel on Alii Drive when
he comes to visit friends in
Kailua-Kona.
In addition, Muegge, a frequent filer of ADA lawsuits, will
receive $10,000 in the settlement. His Honolulu attorney,
Lunsford Phillips, will receive
$30,000, with another $5,000
available for follow-up and
monitoring work.
“We believe the settlement
is reasonable and avoids significant risk for the county,”
Corporation Counsel Molly
Stebbins said Tuesday.
“It’s hard to say what the
costs will be at this point,”
Mass Transit Administrator
Tiffany Kai said Tuesday.
“We’re looking at approximately $800,000. Once we

Pedego Big Island
plans grand opening
A new Pedego Big
Island electric bike store is
having its grand opening
celebration beginning at 9
a.m. Saturday. The public
is invited to attend.
Co-owners Craig and
Michelle Pivo have chosen their electric bikes for
their power, reliability and
durability. From beachy
Comfort Cruisers to
hill-tackling Interceptors
and sleek Dutch streetstyle City Commuters,
fat-tire Trail Trackers
and super-strong Stretch
cargo bikes, there is a
model for everyone.
While vacationing in
California, the Pivos discovered Pedego electric
bikes. After enjoying enormous fun, they decided to
open a Pedego shop on the
Big Island — where they

knew people would appreciate the kokua these bikes
provide by flattening hills
and making headwinds
a breeze. In the process,
the Pivos chose to remake
their own lives. Saying
farewell to their longtime
corporate careers in the
pharmaceutical industry,
they set up shop in one
of the world’s most scenic
vacation locales.
Pedego Big Island offers
Pedego electric bikes for
sale, tours and rentals.
Located at 75-5669 Alii

in brief
Another losing day
on Wall Street as
early rally fades
Just when it looked as if
the bleeding had stopped,
it started up again.
A rally in U.S. stocks
evaporated in the minutes
before the closing bell
Tuesday, sending the Dow
Jones industrial average
down more than 200
points and extending Wall
Street’s losing streak to
six days — the longest
such stretch in more than
three years.
Where the market might
bottom out is anyone’s
guess — not exactly
comforting
news
to
anyone whose retirement
savings or down payment
on a house are tied up in
stocks.
The rally came after
China lowered interest
rates to try to boost its
slowing economy. Other
world markets surged on
the news out of Beijing,
and for a while, it looked
as if U.S. stocks would
follow suit and the global
sell-off might stop.
Stocks also got a lift
from economic reports
showing a rebound in U.S.
consumer confidence and
sales of new American
homes.
Suspect watched
jihadi video on train
PARIS — Minutes before
he slung an assault rifle
across his chest and
walked through a highspeed train, the Moroccan
suspect in the foiled
attack watched a jihadi
video on his cellphone,
the French prosecutor
said in formally opening
a terrorism investigation
Tuesday.
The actions by Ayoub
El-Khazzani
on
the
Amsterdam-to-Paris train
Friday night and information from other European
authorities on his travels
and apparent links to radical Islam prompted the
investigation, said prosecutor Francois Molins.
El-Khazzani, 26, was
tackled and tied up by
five passengers, including
three Americans and a
Briton, averting what
President
Francois
Hollande said “could
have degenerated into
monstrous carnage.”
During questioning by
authorities, El-Khazzani
said he had no terrorism
plans and had found a
bag of weapons Thursday
in a Brussels park and
planned to use them to
rob passengers, Molins
said. But the suspect grew
less and less lucid as he
gave his explanation, the
prosecutor added, and
eventually stopped talking
to investigators altogether.
One
reason
investigators suspect a
premeditated attack was
that El-Khazzani, who
claimed to be homeless
and living in a Brussels
park, used a first-class
ticket, Molins said. The
suspect refused to take
an earlier train, he added,
although there were seats
available — “the sign of a
planned project.”
As Islamic State
militants destroy
artifacts, heritage
always a target across
centuries of war
CAIRO — A nearly
2,000-year-old temple in
the Syrian city of Palmyra
this week was the latest
victim in the Islamic
State group’s campaign
of destruction of historic
sites across the territory it
controls in Iraq and Syria.
The
group
has
destroyed
ancient
buildings and artifacts, as
well as shrines to Shiite
and Sunni Muslim saints
— looting some sites for
profit — all in the name of
purging what it considers
symbols of idolatry to
create a society dedicated
solely to its extreme and
violent interpretation of
Islam. The IS campaign
has horrified many around
the world with a scope of
destruction that hasn’t
been seen for decades.
Still,
it
isn’t
unprecedented.
Throughout
the
centuries,
invaders,
religious fanatics and
colonizers have targeted
works of art, houses of
worship and other pieces
of heritage. The goal is
often to uproot, eliminate,
replace or impose control
over the culture and
heritage of their opponents.
Nearly every ethnic or
religious conflict across
history has seen at least
some cultural destruction,
along with genocides like
the Nazi Holocaust against
the Jews.
Obama puts people
on notice’
LAS VEGAS — President
Barack Obama is putting
people on notice: He’s
back from vacation feeling
“refreshed,
renewed,
recharged” — and “a little
feisty.”
He immediately showed
his feisty side.
At
a
Democratic
fundraiser
Monday
night in Nevada, Obama
declared himself ready for
the challenges he faces
this fall in dealing with a
Republican Congress that
disagrees with him on the
budget, energy policy,
education and much
more.
Obama
said
that
as he’d ridden to the
fundraiser with Senate
Democratic leader Harry
Reid, they’d done some
reminiscing and spent
some
time “figuring
out how we are going to
deal with the crazies in
terms of managing some
problems.”
He
didn’t
identify
exactly who the two
of them had defined as
“crazies.”

U.N. Predicts 3,000 Refugees a Day
Will Pass Through Balkans
By ALISON SMALE
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Three thousand
migrants a day will pour into the
Balkans trying to reach Western
Europe in the next few months,
the United Nations forecast
Tuesday, a few hours after a
suspected arson attack destroyed
a sports hall in Germany where
some migrants were to be
sheltered.
The German police said they
believed the fire in Nauen, about
25 miles west of Berlin, had been
deliberately set, the latest of more
than 200 attacks directed against
migrants in the country this year.
It was spotted just after 2 a.m.
and swiftly destroyed the sports
hall, which had been prepared to
serve as temporary housing for
about 100 migrants, authorities
said. No one was injured in the
fire.
Officials
throughout
the
country have scrambled to
find or adapt decent places to
shelter new arrivals in Germany,
where the struggle to stop antiimmigrant violence has vied for
headlines with a mass migration
not seen in Europe since the wars
that ripped apart Yugoslavia in
the 1990s.
The U.N. refugee agency said it
expected about 3,000 people to
cross into Macedonia every day
from Greece, the first European
Union nation they reach in
their flight from conflict and
deprivation in the Middle East
and beyond.
“We do not see any end to
the influx of people in coming
months,” Melissa Fleming, chief
spokeswoman for the office of
the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, said Tuesday in
Geneva. She cited continued
violence in Syria and Iraq and
deteriorating conditions for
refugees in overcrowded camps
and homes in Turkey, Jordan and
Lebanon.
Fleming said that Germany and
Sweden had taken in 43 percent
of the asylum seekers in the
28-nation European Union, and
she suggested that the burden
should be divided more evenly.
“We honestly believe if
correct measures are taken this
is something that Europe can
handle,” Fleming said, according
to Reuters. “It’s a bigger number
than last year, yes. But it’s not
going to turn Europe upside
down.”
Chancellor Angela Merkel
of Germany, who on Monday
denounced
neo-Nazi
riots
near Dresden late last week as
“repugnant,” said she would
visit Heidenau, the site of those
disturbances, on Wednesday,
a day before she attends a
conference in Vienna to discuss
stanching the flow of arrivals
from the Balkans.
Merkel’s visit to Heidenau
will be her first to a refugee
facility since the crisis intensified
in recent weeks, when many
migrants started moving north
from Turkey, through Greece
and the Balkans, to Hungary and
beyond.
On Tuesday, a day after she
joined France in urging more
European
action,
Merkel
reiterated that Germany and a
handful of other countries needed
help in tackling the problem.
“Three or four out of 28
cannot bear the whole burden,”
the chancellor told a crowd in
Duisburg, a city in the German
state with the most refugees,
North Rhine-Westphalia.
Germany, Sweden, Austria
and France have led the way in
sheltering new arrivals, according
to European officials.
The vice chancellor of Germany,
Sigmar Gabriel, leader of the
Social Democrats and minister for
the country’s booming economy,
visited Heidenau on Monday,
diverting from a planned tour of
“Silicon Saxony,” the technology
startup scene around Dresden.
An amateur video posted
on the website of the weekly
newsmagazine Der Spiegel on
EARN UP TO
Tuesday showed battles between
right-wing protesters, some of
them masked, and the police in
Heidenau. The clashes over the
weekend left at least 31 wounded.
German news media have
reported that hundreds of people
turned out for a demonstration
Friday evening organized by the
far right National Democratic
Party in Heidenau, which like
Nauen has a population of
about 16,000. Some of those
demonstrators then battled the
police.
On Saturday evening, antiimmigrant protesters and a group
welcoming the new arrivals were
both on the streets of Heidenau
as police officers escorted four
busloads of migrants to the
converted building where they
are now housed. Bottles and
stones were thrown at the buses
and at the police.
“It is repugnant how rightwing extremists and neo-Nazis
are trying to spread their dumb
message of hate around a facility
for refugees,” Merkel said Monday.
She particularly condemned
those who just watched, some of
whom even took children along.
German leaders have so far
failed to halt the attacks on
arriving foreigners.
After returning from vacation
and trying to settle the financial
crisis over Greece, Merkel
predicted that the new wave of
migration would command the
attention of European leaders for
even longer than the past months
of negotiations over a new bailout
for the government in Athens.
Since then, barely a day has
passed without fresh accounts
of migrants moving north, or
of facilities for them coming
under attack. A refugee shelter
burned Sunday night in the
western German state of
Baden-Wurttemberg.
So far, no injuries have been
reported in the attacks, which
totaled 202 in the first six months
of this year, compared with 198 in
all of 2014.

Oceanic-Charter merger before DCCA
By IVY ASHE
Hawaii Tribune-Herald
A proposed merger
between the parent company of cable provider
Oceanic Time Warner and
Charter Communications
Inc. is currently before
the state Department of
Commerce and Consumer
Affairs.
The merger application was announced in
mid-July and is part of
a three-way transaction
between Charter, Time
Warner Cable Inc. and
Bright House Networks.
The latter does not have
any operations in Hawaii.
According to the merger application, the new
company will be able to
“leverage the best aspects
of each of the three
participants.”
Oceanic, a subsidiary of
Time Warner Cable, has
six franchises in the state
of Hawaii.
According to a spokesperson at the DCCA, state
regulations mandate that
no cable franchise can
have a change of ownership without approval of
the department’s director.
State rules also require
public hearings to be held
regarding the proposal.
This is the second
time in the past year that
Oceanic Time Warner’s
parent company has been
part of a planned merger.
Last year, a planned $45
billion bid from Comcast
to purchase the company prompted enough
concern from consumer
advocacy groups and federal regulators that it was
ultimately dropped.
In that case, the primary concern was that the
merger would put about
55 percent of broadband subscribers under
one company and in
doing so pose “an unacceptable risk to competition and innovation,”
Federal Communications
Commission Chairman
Tom Wheeler said at the
time.
According
to
an
announcement from the
DCCA, Charter and Time
Warner Cable have stated their commitment to a
“free and open Internet”
and to expanding digital
infrastructure.
The
application
includes a commitment
to expand broadband
and digital cable, including the full transition of
Time Warner’s cable systems to all-digital within
30 months of the merger.
Charter pledged to provide service to unserved
areas and increase Wi-Fi
access points for its
mobile network. It will
also, according to the
application, “continue
to create thousands of
U.S.-based jobs by hiring
for customer service call
centers and field technician operations located
throughout the country,
and (by) returning (Time
Warner Cable) call center
jobs to the U.S.”
Charter
currently serves more than 4.8
million residential customers, according to the
merger application. The
resulting company —
New Charter — would
serve about 23.9 million
customers in 41 states.
It would be the third-largest multichannel video
programming distributor
in the country, after AT&TDirecTV and Comcast.
Big Island residents
will have a chance to
offer comment during
two public hearings next
month.
Hilo will host a hearing
on Sept. 9 at 4:30 p.m.
in the Aupuni Center
conference room. On
Sept. 10, a hearing takes
place in Kona at 4:30
p.m. at the West Hawaii
Civic Center Community
Meeting Hale.

can be provided by

and Consumer Affairs,

Queen Kaahumanu Highway is seen running
through North Kona. West Hawaii Today file photo
CONSTRUCTION: Numerous roadside
memorials must still be removed
continued from page 1a
existing intersections,
turns and pedestrian
crossings will be maintained and the work
will be staged so that
traffic is affected as little as possible.
“This has been a
long time coming, and
everyone wished it
would have been sooner,” said Ed Sniffen, the
DOT’s deputy director
for roads, to a room
of about 150 people at
the Kealakehe High
School cafeteria on
Tuesday evening.
The DOT has given
the general contractor
Goodfellow Bros. Inc.
the notice to proceed
effective Sept. 1. The
$100 million project will widen Queen
Kaahumanu Highway
from two lanes to four
between Kealakekehe
Parkway and Kona
International Airport,
providing
signals,
drainage, LED lighting and other improvements over a 5.2-mile
stretch.
New traffic signals
at six intersections will
be interconnected and
coordinated to maximize traffic flow, and
the county will have
the ability to control
the lights to maximize
that efficiency, Sniffen
said. Eight to 10-foot
shoulders will accommodate both cyclists
and pedestrians.
Work will start on
the makai side of the
highway first, with
four months of grading and utility work,
followed by pavement
from Hina Lani Street
to the airport. The
same work will follow on the makai side
south of Hina Lani.
Traffic will then be
shifted to the makai
side as workers complete the widening of
the mauka portion of
the highway by tearing
up the weak portions
of the existing asphalt
and creating new
lanes.
“We intend to recycle as much asphalt
as possible,” said Ed
Brown, project manager for Goodfellow Bros.
Truck volume will be
fairly heavy because a
massive amount of fill
will need to be brought
in from quarries, he
said.
Construction of the
asphalt roadway is
expected to take two
years. The speed limit
will be lowered to 35
mph during the work.
“We’re going to be
working six days a
week the first year,”
Brown said. “We’ll
have very little night
work.”
The project will make
the crowded, dangerous road safer for
all, said Kahu Danny
Akaka during a pule for
the new roadway.
“Far too many lives
have been lost already,”
Akaka said.
The project was first
awarded six years ago,
but was held up by
cultural consultations,
archaeological studies,
and a realignment to
avoid 23 out of the 76
historical structures in
its path.
As part of an agreement with Native
Hawaiian consultees,
cultural and archaeological monitors will
be assigned to each
piece of earth moving
equipment when it is
working in previously
undisturbed ground.
Numerous roadside
memorials must still
be removed so construction can start,
Brown said.
“If you know anyone
who has memorials
out there, we’re trying
to reach out to everybody,” Brown said. “We
have to start the construction. The artifacts
that are still there will
be gathered and held
for 18 months.”
Detailed information on the project is
being provided on the

com, which includes
a portal where feedback can be offered.
The website will be
regularly updated with
progress reports, and a
24-hour hotline will be
available for questions.

the public updated,

waters and a more favorable environment, is expected to further
strengthen Ignacio in the coming
days, forecasters said. Forecasters
expect Ignacio to reach hurricane
strength Thursday.
The current forecast has the
storm peaking as a Category
1 hurricane packing 100 mph
winds Friday before westerly shear begins to weaken the
weather system. By Sunday, the
storm is expected to be about
400 miles east of the Big Island,
according to current forecast
models.
Elsewhere in the Eastern
Pacific, a low pressure area featuring showers and thunderstorms
about 570 miles south-southwest
of Manzanillo, Mexico, is showing signs of organization. Further
development is expected and a
tropical depression is expected to
form by the end of the week.
Meanwhile in the Central
Pacific, Tropical Depression Kilo
is forecast to restrengthen to a
tropical storm by Thursday asit
encounters warm waters northeast
of Johnston Island, Central Pacific
Hurricane Center forecasters said.
Kilo was located almost 730 miles
west of Kailua-Kona.
In addition to Kilo, forecasters continue to keep tabs
on Tropical Storm Loke located more than 1,400 miles
west-northwest of KailuaKona. Loke was packing 60
mph and traveling toward the
north-northeast at 17 mph.
Elsewhere in the Central Pacific
basin, no tropical cyclones are
expected through Thursday afternoon, forecasters said.
ADA: County is currently seeking a consultant to create a mass
transit master plan
continued from page 1a
get that started, we’ll have a better idea.”
The county is currently seeking
a consultant to create a mass transit master plan, which could cost
$500,000 to complete.
Puna Councilman Dan Paleka,
chairman of the council Public
Safety and Mass Transit Committee,
said the needs of elderly and disabled riders are definitely a part of
that plan.
“We’re meeting with stakeholders, and there will be opportunities for public input,” Paleka said
Tuesday. “I’m confident it will be a
good plan going forward.”
The settlement requires the
county to have a paratransit system in place within two years that
operates during the same days and
hours as the fixed route system
for passenger pickups and dropoffs
within one mile of the fixed route.
Fares for a trip charged to an ADA
paratransit eligible rider and attendant will be twice the fare that is
charged to individuals paying full
fare for a similar trip on the fixed
route system. Full fare is currently
$2 each way.
Currently, Hele-On buses are
described as accessible, but some
riders who use the scooter-style
mobility devices have found it
difficult to fit in the aisles of some
buses.
The county will conduct an eligibility determination process that
strictly limits eligibility for paratransit services to individuals who
are not able to use the accessible
fixed route services because of a
disability, under the agreement.
“It’s not like they’re doing anybody any favors. It’s long overdue,”
Phillips said Tuesday. “I think it’s
a promising sign that the county
mass transit agency has submitted to implementing a far better
paratransit system than it currently
has. (But) the proof will be in the
pudding.”
The state Department of
Transportation is monitoring the
remediation of the Hele-On bus system for compliance with the ADA.
The county is required to provide
quarterly update reports on the
progress of 15 remedial actions.
The Americans With Disabilities
Act, passed in 1990, outlaws discrimination against people with
disabilities and sets out detailed
guidelines for making public places
accessible for them. Phillips said
it’s especially egregious when governments such as Hawaii County
accept federal funds for transportation services and then deny equal
access to disabled travelers.
It’s by no means the first time
Muegge has settled cases following
ADA complaints. Phillips, who said
Muegge is a 100 percent disabled
veteran, said his client files lawsuits
out of personal frustration with
access restrictions and for the public cause of improving access for
those with disabilities.
Last year, Muegge was one of
the lead plaintiffs winning a $5.4
million settlement in a class-action
federal lawsuit against Taco Bell
Corp. after accusing the fast-food
restaurant of violating the ADA
in Santa Rosa, Calif., by imposing
architectural barriers to diners in
wheelchairs and scooters.
Also last year, Muegge settled
with Aqua Hotels and Resorts Inc.
and its member hotels for damages of $50,000 plus attorneys’ fees
and a remediation plan because
many of the hotels in the chain
did not have any fully accessible
guestrooms.
In 2013, Chief U.S. District Judge
Susan Oki Mollway ruled that
Muegge had no cause for action
as a private citizen to require WalMart Stores Inc. to pay a fine to the
state’s general fund for not having
a sign depicting the handicapped
aisle near a handicapped parking
space at its Kihei, Maui, store.
Muegge is currently suing taxi
companies on Maui on ADA
complaints.

Two Oahu women were
arrested Monday afternoon in Kailua-Kona and
charged with prostitution.
Schae Ann K. Enoka,
22, and Chantel-Marie
Moanikeala De Jetley, 18,
both of Waianae, Oahu,
were taken into custody at
about 4 p.m. at a vacation
condominium building
on Alii Drive. They were
released on their own
recognizance about 45
minutes later.
Both women are scheduled to appear in Kona
District Court on Sept. 24.
Police Lt. Sherry Bird,
who commands the Kona
Vice Section, said the
women were at the beachfront condominium and

beach barriers
HONOLULU — The

removed barriers blocking parking near a beach
on Oahu’s North Shore,
but parking still isn’t
allowed.
Hawaii
News
Now
reported that in place of
the concrete slabs near
Laniakea Beach, DOT has
installed “no parking”
signs.
The
barriers
were
installed in December
2013 and have been a point
of contention between
the state and community
members.
A demonstration was
held Monday to oppose
the roadwork.
Supporters said the
blocks increased the flow
of traffic, which others
argue they illegally block
access to the beach.
The department is
applying for a permit to
replace the barriers.

Internet posting.
Asked how often police
see prostitution in Kona,
Byrd replied, “It’s sporadic; it happens.”
“I can’t say once a
month or anything like
that,” she added. “We try
to stay vigilant and try to
address any suspected ads
that might be advertising
prostitution.”
Kona is one of the state’s
premier visitor destinations, and Byrd said she
thinks it’s “important”
to keep prostitution out
of the community, “not
only for the safety of the
community and the people who are around this
kind of activity when it’s
happening, but for the
females and the males that
are advertising these kinds
of services, as well.”
According to court
records, Enoka has a prior
prostitution arrest on
Oahu a little more than
two years ago. She pleaded no contest to the petty
misdemeanor charge on
Feb. 13, 2014, and was
sentenced to two days in
jail and fined $300.
Enoka was granted a six-month deferred
acceptance of her no contest plea, and her conviction was erased from the
record on July 30, 2014.
A search of court records
found no prior convictions
for De Jetley.

Ige: LNG use would distract from cleaner energy
OK with Hawaii Gas using

company to give it to HECO

He also said his administration will actively

they remain committed

The Associated Press
HONOLULU — The

governor
on
Monday said he opposes
plans by state utilities to
use liquefied natural gas to
generate energy.
Hawaiian Electric Co.
and Hawaii Gas announced
last year they planned to
import more LNG because
it would be cheaper and
cleaner than burning oil.
But Gov. David Ige said
that would distract from
the state’s goal to switch
to renewable energy,
reported the Honolulu
Star-Advertiser.
In June, Ige signed a law
that set a goal for Hawaii
to have 100 percent renewable electric power generation by 2045.

Darren Pai.
“We are evaluating delivering LNG in (special shipping) containers to our generating stations on a transitional basis, an approach
that requires minimal

added.

reduce the amount of
LNG purchased as more
renewable energy becomes
available.
Hawaii Gas CEO and
president Alicia Moy said
the company is still considering selling LNG to
HECO, although she said
she supports the renewable
energy goals.
Renewable energy advocates praised the governor’s
statements.

Viewpoint
Some Native
Hawaiians see
Mauna Kea
differently
I
read the Aug. 21 edition of West Hawaii
Today and was embarrassed when I read
the front page article titled “Safety and
sacred meet on Mauna Kea.” Being that I
too am a Native Hawaiian, I would like to
inform the world that not all of us Hawaiians
believe as those who testified in Judge Ronald
Ibarra’s court revealing their “communion with
ancestors, ancestral guides and divine beings.”
In fact, most of us understand that when
Queen Kaahumunu defied the kapu system
and ate with the men, it confirmed that the
old Hawaiian gods of sticks and stones were
powerless. Of course, there remained those who
desperately held on to those old beliefs because
it gave them power over those who remained
superstitious. The rest of the Hawaiians
celebrated the new found freedom when it
became evident that the long held beliefs were
just superstition based on self gratification.
I suspect that when the Hawaiians first set
sail to explore the vast Pacific Ocean, there
were those, as in the days of Columbus, who
wouldn’t venture out beyond the reef for fear
of falling off the end of the Earth. Those who
were “thinkers” and “adventurers” set out and
settled in “The Loveliest Fleet of Islands that
lies Anchored in any Ocean.” (Mark Twain)
Some of us were brought up to understand
that the first Hawaiians who came to Hawaii
did believe in a God that was portrayed as Hina
(white haired or ancient) and Ku (foundational
and consistent). This explains why that God
says “Come unto me all ye who are weary
and heavy laden and I will give you rest.”
The divine beings, referred to in the WHT
article, require that rituals be performed at sitespecific locations that may be revealed at the
last moment on Mauna Kea. In all of my years
interacting with our alive, mainstream kupuna,
I have never heard it mentioned that there was
anyone who believed in this manner. It makes
me wonder if this required site-specific ritual
became a ritual specifically to interfere with the
construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope.
It was interesting to read that one of the
rituals was the welcoming of the sun by this
group on one specific day. The rest of us
understand the rotation of the Earth on its axis
while following an orbit around the sun and are
thankful for every day we live on this Earth.
The Hawaiian equivalent for “good morning”
is aloha ka kahi aka. To understand the
term, one must separate the words. Aloha
is comprised of two words, “alo” depicts
a scene of two people facing each other.
“Ha” refers to breath or life. The word “ka”
is equivalent to the English word “the” or
calling attention to. The word “kahi” is the
act of scraping away something and “aka”
is the Hawaiian word for “shadow.”
Putting it all in English, aloha ka kahi aka
means: I face you with life when the shadows
are being scrapped away, referring to the
period of time that night turns to day. To have
a real live experiential understanding of this
term, be in the district of Ka‘u where you are
able to see Hilina Pali or at Kamaoa where
you can observe the hill above Waiohinu.
As the sun rises, it literally scrapes away
the shadows in rapid succession, bringing
life to the land. It happens every morning
yet is never duplicated in awesomeness.
The testifiers in Ibarra’s court justified their
position by making a comparison that I think
is very far off. They compared the Christian
celebration of the Resurrection at a sunrise
service, an event that took place 2,000 years
ago, with them being on Mauna Kea at equinox,
which takes place twice a year, every year, to
do some ritual at some site-specific location
that may be revealed at the last moment.
In the days of old, Mauna Kea provided
the Hawaiians with the best material to make
stone adzes. Today, Mauna Kea provides us,
the world, with the best site from which to
view the heavens. While the stone tools of old
are now precious artifacts, we as a people, now
utilize stainless steel knives, the microwave, the
chainsaw and other modern conveniences to
enhance our lives. However, there are still those
who choose the gods of sticks and stones to
suppress greater understanding of our universe.

The dubious origins of
Trump’s immigration scheme
V
iewed through the
lens of America’s
civil rights history,
Donald Trump’s new
call to repeal birthright
citizenship chimes with
an ominous ring.
Spoiler alert: It
sounds like racism.
It sounds like the
Supreme Court’s
declaration in 1857
that African-Americans
were “so far inferior
that they had no rights
which the white man
was bound to respect.”
That quote comes
from the 7-2 decision
written by Chief Justice
Roger B. Taney in the
notorious Dred Scott
case. It declared that
Scott, a slave, could not
be a citizen because he
was African-American
and, slave or free, had
no standing to sue for
his freedom in court.
I bring that up
because outrage over
that awful decision led
to the Civil War and
the 14th Amendment,
with which Trump
now wants to tinker.
The amendment was
passed in 1868 at the
urging of Republican
lawmakers to overrule
the Dred Scott decision
in honor of Abraham
Lincoln. Now it is
Republican Trump in his
first position paper as
frontrunner for the Grand
Old Party’s presidential
nomination, who wants
to water it down.
Trump’s beef is with
the Citizenship Clause,
which states, “All persons
born or naturalized in
the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the
United States and of the
state wherein they reside.”
The elegant simplicity
of that clause troubles
Trump, who attacks
“birthright citizenship”
as “the biggest magnet
for illegal immigration.”
Actually, the biggest
magnets for immigrants
continue to be what
they always were —
jobs, freedom and an
opportunity to succeed.
As jobs in this country
declined in recent
years, for example,
U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement
reports that illegal
immigration also declined.
But immigrants and
other minorities offer
an inviting target for
demagogic populists,
especially during times
of economic hardship
and sagging confidence
in public institutions
like government.
We saw that in the
backlash against civil
rights in the postReconstruction period
and during the 1960s
civil rights revolution.
We can see it in the antiimmigrant sentiments of
the Know-Nothings before
the Civil War and the
anti-Chinese sentiment
in the late 19th century’s
immigration surge.
Critics of birthright
citizenship argue that
the 14th Amendment
was intended to protect
the rights of slaves, not
immigrants. But, as senior
political reporters Amanda
Terkel recently recounted
in the Huffington Post,
birthright citizenship
came up during the
amendment’s spirited
legislative debate, too.
Yet it passed without
exceptions for immigrants.
Later the progress/
backlash cycle resumed
as economic fears led to
passage of the Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882,
which stopped Chinese
immigration and barred
Chinese in America from
becoming citizens. But
in 1898 the Supreme
Court affirmed in the
case of Wong Kim Ark
that immigrants’ children
born in the U.S. are
entitled to citizenship.
In the mid-1960s,
Alabama’s Democratic
Gov. George Wallace
launched a new era of
made-for-TV populist
backlash politics with
presidential campaigns
on the heels of President
Lyndon B. Johnson’s
civil rights legislation.
Insisting that his gripe
was with liberals, not
black folks, Wallace rallied
millions of mostly white
voters in the South and
the North to the idea that
they, not long-segregated
African-Americans,
were the real victims of
“permissiveness,” crime,
busing, Godlessness
and “briefcase-toting
liberal big government
bureaucrats” with
their “racial quotas.”
Sound familiar? Trump
may promote himself as
political outsider who
“speaks the truth” about
a government that’s not
working, but he didn’t
invent that role. Wallace’s
success would inspire
others as varied as Ralph
Nader on the left, Pat
Buchanan on the right
and Ross Perot in the
fiscally conservative,
third-party middle.
In fact, Buchanan
beat Trump to the idea
of a wall on the Mexican
border, which Pat — my
longtime colleague on
“The McLaughlin Group”
— called “the Buchanan
fence” during his 1992
presidential campaign.
Outlandish, I thought.
Not anymore. The only
wall/fence debate left
is over whether and
how to complete it.
Now Trump steps
up to battle birthright
citizenship. For years a
small fringe of activists
has been fighting that
fight, clinging to their
own arcane, odd readings
of the legally enigmatic
“subject to the jurisdiction
thereof ” phrase.
Sound outlandish?
So do those who share
Trump’s ridiculous doubts
about President Barack
Obama’s birth certificate.
For some folks, reality
isn’t good enough.

Sewage spill prompts closure of famed Hawaii beach
By CALEB JONES
The Associated Press
HONOLULU
—
Stretches of Waikiki’s
white sands and blue
waters were deserted
Tuesday after officials
warned that heavy rains
triggered a half-million-gallon sewage spill
near Hawaii’s world-famous tourist district.
Still, dozens of tourists
waded into the water, and
young parents carried
their toddlers into the
ocean, ignoring the warning signs about unsafe
water.
Carmen Antaky went
swimming in Waikiki
with her friend Sloan
Hill-Lindsay on Tuesday.
“I guess a lot of people are
freaked out about it. We
still jumped in,” Antaky
said.
They said they go in
the water every day and
were willing to take their
chances. “We’re also from
L.A., where it’s pretty
polluted anyways,” HillLindsay added.
The heavy rains overwhelmed the sewage system Monday morning,
causing 500,000 gallons
of wastewater to spew
from manholes, said Lori
Kahikina,
Honolulu’s
director of environmental
services. “Now’s not the
time to go swimming,”
she told reporters on
Monday.
Lifeguards gave verbal
warnings that the water
was polluted, but they
do not have enforcement
powers so all they could
do was warn visitors, officials said.
Peter Parhar, from
Vancouver,
British
Columbia, who was
also on Waikiki Beach
Tuesday, said the infrastructure should be

improved and he was
concerned about the
city’s communication of
the issue.
“More should be done to
inform the beach patrons
of the risks of being in the
water,” Parhar said. “For
the tourist segment that
isn’t English-speaking,
they have no idea what’s
going on and they’re carrying little infants into
the water.”
The city is advising
people to avoid a 4-mile
stretch of waterfront
from Kapahulu Avenue
in Waikiki to Point Panic
in Kakaako. Sewage came
out of manholes at Ala
Moana Beach Park, on

a street fronting a shopping mall at the edge of
Waikiki and a pumping station. The park is
closed, and Honolulu
police are keeping people
away.
Waikiki was not the
only area of Oahu that
was affected by an overflow of wastewater. The
state Department of
Environmental Services
said that Kailua, Kaneohe
and
Kalanianaole
Highway in Aina Hina
also experienced overflowing sewer systems.
The Department of
Health issued warnings
for people to stay out of
the water in all affected
areas, including Kaneohe
and Mamala bays.
Shayne Enright, a
spokeswoman for the
city’s Department of
Emergency
Services,
cautioned that the ocean
was dangerous. “We don’t
know right now what is
in the water. You could
get a serious infection,
get extremely sick or even
worse,” she said.
Kahikina said the
storm water entered the
sewage system as leaves
and debris clogged the
storm drains. Some witnesses reported people
were opening manhole
covers to let the storm
water drain into the
sewage system, even
though sewage pipes and
pumps aren’t designed to
handle that volume of liquid, she said.
It’s illegal to open manhole covers, Kahikina
added.
In 2006, the city temporarily closed Waikiki’s
beaches after 48 million gallons of raw sewage poured into the Ala
Wai Canal bordering the
area’s hotels and condominiums. That spill
occurred after a sewage
line ruptured following
weeks of heavy rains,
forcing the city to divert
wastewater into the
canal.
Lifeguards
were
warning visitors to all
island beaches about a
brown-water advisory
issued by the Department
of Health saying that
flood waters might be
contaminated.
The
entire
state
remained
under
a
flash-flood watch again
Tuesday, with more rain
expected. This year’s
hurricane season, which
lasts through the end of
November, has been particularly active.
A new tropical storm,
Ignacio, formed east of
the Hawaiian Islands on
Tuesday and is forecast
to become a hurricane
by Thursday, Central
Pacific Hurricane Center
Meteorologist
Chevy
Chevalier said. “It’s
an above-average year
already, and we’re still
just in August,” he added.
There
have
been
17 storms so far this
year in the Pacific, 12
of which reached hurricane status, according to the National
Weather Service. Six of
those storms reached
super-typhoon status,
which means they had
maximum
sustained
winds over 150 mph.
Although it’s too early
to predict, Ignacio’s current path could take it
near or over the islands,
Chevalier said.
“The reason for the
forecast of an above
average tropical season in the Pacific this
year is El Nino conditions,” Chevalier said
in an email. “El Nino
typically brings this area
above normal sea surface temperatures and
less vertical wind shear,
both of which normally
lead to tropical cyclone
intensification.”

ISLAND HEALTH
Steps for doing the trikonasana.
Trikonasana
Alignment matters in triangle pose
By Marya Mann
Special to West Hawaii Today
Do you enjoy feeling totally
stable, in perfect balance
and at one with the universe
itself? Yoga summons that
kind of complete alignment
every time we go to the mat,
especially when we practice a
pose that shares Kona’s name.
In Sanskrit, an ancient
language of wisdom, tri
means three and kona
means angle. The word for
triangle pose is trikonasana.
The triangle is the strongest
structural base of support in
the physical world and also
one of the oldest and most
common symbols of unity
found in almost all cultures.
It reflects the geometry of
nature and aligns us through
three angles — three konas
— at shoulders, hips and
tips of fingers and toes.
In the pose, many triangles
come together to function
as one whole. Triangular
bones of the feet and scapula
connect with the triangle
of the sacrum. As we watch
the mind, many perspectives
must also be balanced to
stay compassionate and
centered. The Hawaiian
tradition of lokahi reflects the
same triangular structure:
aina, ohana and aloha —
land, family and love.
As in all yoga, listen to your
body and stretch in a way that
is safest and most comfortable
for you. (See notes below.)
Steps for Utthita
Reach your top arm hand to the top ribs to feel the ribs
expand on the inhale and open the front chest toward the
sky. Special to West Hawaii Today
Trikonasana – Extended
Triangle Pose (to the right)
1. Start in mountain
pose, toes together,
heels 1/2-inch apart.
2. Inhale from the top of
the head to the tips of the
toes. Spread legs sideways
one leg length apart.
3. Exhale. Turn from the
hips to place right foot parallel
to the side of the mat and
back foot 45 degrees in.
4. Breathing deeply, line
up the foot, ankle and knees
of both legs to point in the

direction of their respective
second toes. Press four
corners of the feet into the
Earth and lift inner ankle
bones and quadriceps.
5. Inhale. Reach the arms
to the side at shoulder height.
Inhale and reach strongly to
the right, allowing your hips to
shift to the left as you do so.
6. Now, exhale and bend
to the right — hinging at the
hips, not the waist. The key is
to lengthen your torso: extend
through the crown of your
head while drawing your hips
and tailbone toward your back
heel. Lengthen the spine over
the front leg. Avoid placing the
hand so low on your leg that it
causes your spine to side bend
too much. Place no weight on
the shin. Slide your front hand
down to rest on your knee,
shin, ankle or a block on the
floor, not pressing, but lightly.
7. Reach your top arm hand
to the top ribs to feel the ribs
expand on the inhale and open
the front chest toward the
sky. From hips to underarms,
stretch equally on both sides
of the torso. Lift the upper
arm in line with the lower
arm and both shoulders, and
bring your gaze to look up at
your top hand or down to your
bottom hand. As you stretch
your arms away from each
other, feel your heart open,
your lungs relax and your
body connecting earth and
sky. Hold this pose for three
to six slow, deep breaths. To
come out, inhale and press
your back heel strongly into
the ground. Repeat to the left
for the same length of time.
You can also do it standing,
lying down or on your side,
with a sash, holding your big
toe or nothing at all. Such
a simple form with endless
variations, the universal
principles of the triangle teach
us every time we practice this
pose that shares Kona’s name.
Precautions:
If you are seeing a medical
doctor for any condition,
consult with them before
beginning a yoga practice.
Begin with appropriate
modifications if you suffer from
lower back pain, sacroiliac
discomfort or hip pain. Adjust
your gaze and loosen your neck
if you experience neck pain.
Benefits of the
triangle pose:
— Creates traction for the
spine and relieves backache.
— Stretches the muscles in
the lower back away from the
sacrum, creating more space
in a part of the body that is
often chronically compressed.
— Stimulates abdominal
organs, aiding digestion.
— Therapeutic for
stress, anxiety, neck pain,
bone issues, sciatica.
— Creates sense of
peace and calm.

Encounter with a typhoon
By COLIN M. STEWART

Hawaii Tribune-Herald
When
Typhoon
Soudelor tore into Saipan
earlier
this
month,
Hilo resident Cristenee
Jucutan, 15, received a
painful lesson about its
destructive power.
Jucutan, along with
family and friends, had
traveled about 4,000
miles for the wedding of
his older brother, James
Jucutan. But during their
stay, the storm made
landfall as a Category 2
typhoon, bringing with it
sustained winds of 100
mph with gusts up to 120
mph.
The family was staying
in a three-story condominium in the mountains
when the high winds
began pummeling the
windows, doors and walls
of the home.
“I looked out the window and saw the glass
around the patio shaking,
and I asked my dad if it
was safe. He said it was.
Later though, it blew out,”
Jucutan said.
Then the power went
out, casting everything
into darkness.
“You can hear like
a machine gun, like it’s
the end of the world,”
the boy’s mother, Joselyn
Jucutan, said. “The transformer was popping,
pow pow pow! And we
are running inside to the
bathroom.”
Jucutan’s
father,
Danny, grabbed hold of
a sliding glass door as it
Cristenee Jucutan, 15, center, stands with his mother, Joselyn Jucutan, left, and family friends,
Maxine and Fransisco Galdones Tuesday afternoon at their Hilo home. Jucutan and his family and
friends had traveled about 4,000 miles for the wedding of his older brother, James Jucutan, when
Typhoon Soudelor tore into Saipan earlier this month. HOLLYN JOHNSON/Hawaii Tribune-Herald
appeared ready to break
free and fly into a room
on the third floor.
“It was getting stronger by the minute, and I
didn’t want it to fall on
my dad, so I grabbed it
too,” Jucutan said.
Suddenly, a strong gust
pushed the door, along
with the father and son,
into the center of the
room.
Jucutan took the brunt
of the blow from the glass
door, which shattered
into pieces, cutting about
four large gashes into his
left leg, a gash in his right
leg, two cuts on his chest,
and a cut to the head.
The family spent about
a half hour inside the
bathroom as the storm
raged outside. Jucutan
used a belt to securely tie
a bathroom rug around
his leg to help stanch
the flow of blood, but by
the end of their time in
the restroom, his leg had
swelled, he was experiencing a lot of pain, and
he had begun to get
light-headed, his mother
said. A large piece of glass

remained embedded in at
least one wound.
After the storm let
up, the family tried to
make their way down the
mountain to the hospital,
but fallen trees blocked
the roadway.
“My husband was trying to pull the trees (off
the road), but he was
only by himself,” Joselyn
Jucutan said.
A call to 911 revealed
that emergency responders were also impeded by
the blocked roadway.
The next morning, the

Sales of Hawaii

family was able to borrow
a chainsaw from a neighbor and get out of their
neighborhood and down
the mountain to the hospital. Approximately six
hours had passed since
Jucutan had sustained
his injuries.
Outside the emergency
room, “10 or 15 wounded people were waiting to
see the doctor, and there
was only one working at
the hospital at that time,”
the Waiakea High School
student said.
As luck would have
it, however, visiting
health care workers from
Shriners Hospitals for
Children in Honolulu
were visiting Saipan as
part of their regular outreach clinics program.
“We were out there
for our routine clinics,”
said Nurse Practitioner
Scherlyn Caneda. “We go
out there about twice a
year.”
When the storm hit, the
team went into action,
lending their expertise
wherever it was needed.
Caneda
and
Dr.
Craig Ono, a pediatric
orthopaedic
specialist, helped to remove a
large piece of glass from
Jucutan’s leg, and clean
and stitch up his wounds.
Jucutan’s mother, who
works as a certified nursing assistant, said she
knew of Ono by reputation and immediately felt
relieved.
“My clients, sometimes,
they had Dr. Ono., so I
had heard of him. When
I heard he was there, I
thought, ‘Oh, really?
Wow!’ I was so happy,”
she said.
Now safely back in
Hilo, Jucutan’s wounds
are healing nicely, and
on Thursday he plans to
reunite with the Shriners
team that helped him
after the storm, as they
will be in Hilo offering
specialist care for keiki
with joint, muscle or
orthopaedic conditions.
“It’ll be nice, a sight for
sore eyes,” Jucutan said
of seeing Ono and his
team. “After what I went
through and being traumatized, they took care
of me. It’ll be nice to see
them.”
But while he has healed,
Jucutan says there are
still many people left
with no food, electricity
or homes in Saipan.
“I’m talking with one of
my teachers about starting a fundraiser to help,”
he said.

Hilo’s new quarterback Ka‘ale Tiogangco aiming high
BY KEVIN JAKAHI
HAWAII TRIBUNE-HERALD
Hilo quarterback Ka‘ale
Tiogangco already has a
dream college picked out
because his role model went
there: University of Oregon,
the former home of Marcus
Mariota.
The 5-foot-10, 160-pound
junior hopes to follow in the
Tennessee Titans QB’s footsteps, and not just his career path.
“I’m inspired by his humbleness and being a great leader,” Tiogangco said. “He’s very
respectful. I look up to him in
every way.”
It’s rather noteworthy that the
Viking first-year starter mentioned Mariota’s character first
before his skill-set of passing and
running, similar fundamentals
necessary in Hilo’s pistol offense.
Tiogangco, who was on the
junior varsity last year, has been
described as a “natural QB”
by Hilo co-head coach Kaeo
Drummondo and offensive coordinator Danny Saragosa for his
smooth mechanics and tendency
to go through his progressions on
passing plays, instead of ditching
the pocket at the first hint of
pressure.
Though Tiogangco is a new
starter, he’s embraced the role
of the QB, steering the ship and
running an offense that relies on
rhythm and cohesion.
“I like being the leader on the
team,” he said. “I try to make sure
everything goes right and mostly
push my teammates.”
Last season, the Vikings ran
the spread with the running back
to the side of the QB. The pistol allows the running back a
better read, and a two-way running option. The passing routes
are based on defensive coverage
reads.
“Ka‘ale is a natural QB. He’s

COMEBACK KIDS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Carlos
Gomez and Evan Gattis
both homered and drove
in four runs, sending
Dallas Keuchel and the
Houston Astros to a 15-1
blowout of the New York
Yankees that briefly got
testy Tuesday night.
Keuchel (15-6) held
New York scoreless for
the second time this season and became the first
15-game winner in the
American League.
Gomez busted out of a
hitting slump along with
several teammates and
rankled the Yankees with
his flashy style.
The center fielder jawed
with players in New York’s
dugout after flipping his
bat aside when he flied out
in the sixth inning, then
stood nose to nose with
young catcher John Ryan
Murphy before they were
separated. Both benches
and bullpens emptied,
but the teams quickly
went their respective ways
without any pushing or
shoving.
His next time up, Gomez
launched a three-run
homer into the Yankees’
bullpen in right-center to
cap a six-run seventh.
BLUE JAYS 6, RANGERS 5
ARLINGTON, Texas — Troy
Tulowitzki had a game-tying
RBI single in the ninth inning
before Adrian Beltre’s throwing error allowed another
Toronto run to score as the AL
East-leading Blue Jays rallied
for a victory over the Rangers.
Rangers closer Shawn Tolleson
walked two of the first three batters he faced. After pinch-hitter
Justin Smoak flied out, Tulowitzki
looped a single to left to tie the
game 5-5. Josh Donaldson then
hit a high chopper to Beltre,
the four-time Gold Glove third
baseman who fielded the ball
before a wide throw to first base.
It was only the second blown
save this season for Tolleson
(5-3), who has 25 saves and had
converted his last 12 chances.
LaTroy Hawkins (3-1) gave
up three singles in a scoreless eighth before Roberto
Osuna worked the ninth for
his 15th save in 16 chances.
ANGELS 8, TIGERS 7
DETROIT — Albert Pujols
homered and the Angels scored
three times on wild pitches
in a victory over the Tigers.
Both teams came into the
game with four-game losing
streaks, dropping the Angels
1 ½ games behind Texas for
the second American League
wild-card spot and the Tigers
to sixth, 5 ½ games back.
Jered Weaver (6-9) picked
up the win, despite allowing
six runs on seven hits in 5 2-3
innings. Weaver struck out one
batter and didn’t issue a walk.
Huston Street got the final
four outs for his 30th save.

Kealakehe picked up its
first BIIF regular season
win of the season Tuesday
evening in an an exciting
3-set home match against
Keaau. The Waveriders
and Cougars split the
first two sets with similar scores of 25-23. In the
final set, Kealakehe was
down 15-6 but came back
to win 25-21.
“We fell behind in
all three games,” said
Waveriders coach Duke
Hartfield. “We talk about
focus and making plays
but we are a young team
and sometimes get distracted. Keaau played us
pretty consistently.”
Down by nine points in
the final set, Kealakehe
was able to chip away at
the Keaau lead with their
service game, led by senior
Nika Paogofi-Buyten.
“All of the girls served
well as we worked our
way back,” Hartfield said.

NFL
Steelers find backup QB, sign Michael Vick to 1-year deal
BY WILL GRAVES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PITTSBURGH — Michael
Vick needed a job. The Pittsburgh
Steelers needed a backup
quarterback.
One solid workout solved both
problems.
The Steelers signed the fourtime Pro Bowler to a one-year
deal on Tuesday night, hopeful
there’s enough game left in the
35-year-old’s still dangerous legs
to provide the defending AFC
North champions some insurance
should something happen to Ben
Roethlisberger.
“There’s not a throw on the
field he can’t make from an arm
strength standpoint,” Pittsburgh
coach Mike Tomlin said. “He’s a
very experienced guy at what he
does at this point in his career and
the mobility is still unique even at
35.”
Vick spent 2014 with the New
York Jets, engineering an upset
over the Steelers on Nov. 9 by
throwing for two touchdowns in
a 20-13 victory, his lone triumph
during an otherwise forgettable
season. The Jets made no move to
retain him and with backup Bruce
Gradkowski on injured reserve
after hurting his left (non-throwing) hand in last Sunday’s preseason win over Green Bay, Pittsburgh
didn’t hesitate to reach out to Vick.
Tomlin said the situation isn’t
unlike what the Steelers went
through in 2008 when Charlie
Batch was injured during training
camp. Pittsburgh brought in Byron

Vick: Performance of pro-bowl quarterback has declined over the last three seasons
continued from page 1B
Leftwich and Daunte
Culpepper
and
put
them through the paces
at Latrobe High School
before signing Leftwich,
who ended up playing
four seasons in two different stints with the team.
“(Leftwich) gave us
several good years of service … a guy that was a
franchise quarterback
who embraced the challenge here,” Tomlin said.
“I imagine Mike is of the
same mindset.”
Vick is more than six
years removed a lengthy
prison stay following his
federal conviction for
financing a dogfighting
conspiracy. The arrest
and subsequent downfall forced him out of
the league in his prime,
though he resurrected his
career with Philadelphia,
making the Pro Bowl in
2010 after throwing for
3,018 yards and 21 touchdowns. The last three years
have been a steady decline
and he was little more than
a situational specialist last
season for the Jets behind
Geno Smith.
Still, his presence carries weight. Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell
said he was “starstruck”
when he ran into Vick
before practice.
“He’s a guy I idolized
growing up,” Bell said.
One who has made a
concerted effort to become
an advocate for animals
even as the stigma of his
crime persists, something
that hasn’t gone unnoticed by Pittsburgh’s front
office.
“Obviously we’re sensitive to those potential

long on skills, and things
will come together with
experience,” Saragosa said.
“The more games he plays
the better he’ll get. We’re
definitely young at the skill
positions. Speed is our biggest weapon.”
Tiogangco noted that
his patience is growing
under Saragosa’s tutelage.
Saragosa is also the QB
coach.
“Coach Danny has helped
me with play management,”
Tiogangco said. “It’s don’t
force throws, make your
reads. Basically, it’s don’t
mess things up, stay calm
in the pocket. I like the balance in our offense, and I
like running and passing.
We have multiple options.”
Tiogangco also enjoys the
disciplined coaching style
of Drummondo, who will
keep his role as the defensive coordinator.
“He’s really hard on us,”
Tiogangco said. “He keeps
us on our toes. He makes
sure we don’t give up on
each other. If we do something wrong, he makes sure
we pick ourselves up and
don’t do something wrong
again.”
During the summer,
Tiogangco attended the
Maximum Exposure camp
on Oahu, where more than
30 colleges were present,
including Oregon.
His
dad
Ka‘ale
Tiogangco, who works for
Sun Construction, influences the Viking QB, who’s
a role model to his three
younger brothers.
His dad is less concerned
about touchdowns, and
more so about education
and commitment, the biggest keys to opening college
possibilities.
“My dad is always pushing me to be at practice
every day, and keep my
grades up,” Tiogangco said.
“He keeps me on my toes,
mainly. I’m the oldest of
four and they look up to
me as the oldest brother.
They try to follow in my
footsteps.”
things but we are going
to do our due diligence,”
Tomlin said. “Rest assured
that we’ve done that, but
rest assured he’s done a
lot since he’s gone through
some of the things he’s
gone through and his
track record at this point
in that regard speaks for
itself.”
There is no chance of
Vick being in the mix for
the starting job so long
as Roethlisberger — who
hasn’t missed a game
in two years — remains
healthy. Vick instead will
get a chance to beat out
Landry Jones for the No.
2 spot. Jones remains a
project entering his third
season, though Tomlin
has stressed repeatedly
that the “arrow is pointing up” in terms of Jones’
development.
Vick, however, could be
an intriguing option for an
offense that ranked second in the league last year
behind Roethlisberger,
Bell and wide receiver
Antonio Brown. He gave
the Steelers an up-close
look at what he could do
during that odd victory
in mid-November — a
loss that nearly derailed
Pittsburgh’s momentum
on its way to a division
title — and there remains
an intense respect for his
erratic if singular talent.
Roethlisberger,
an
unabashed dog lover
whose foundation provides support for K-9
units in the region, isn’t
concerned about Vick’s
past misdeeds becoming
a factor.
“This is a locker room,
and it’s about football,”
he said. “And that’s what
matters most to me.”
NFL Notebook
Gurley makes his return to the gridrion
ST. LOUIS — Rams rookie
running back Todd Gurley
didn’t get a lot of reps during
Tuesday’s practice, but the No.
10 overall pick in the 2015 Draft
took another step forward in
his return from knee surgery.
“I was real excited,” Gurley
said. “I got the news a couple
days ago, so I was definitely
excited just to be able to get
out here and get some reps.”
Rams coach Jeff Fisher
announced Monday that Gurley
had been cleared to ramp
up his work in practice. He
had previously been limited
to individual and rehab work
and held out of 7-on-7 and
team drills. He took part in
those on Tuesday, but still
didn’t get a lot of reps.
It was another positive step
for the 21-year-old rookie.
“I haven’t done nothing
like this in like nine months,
10 months,” Gurley said.
“So it’s been a while. I’m
definitely excited about it.”
The Rams were excited to
get Gurley a little more work.
“Todd was excited to get in
there and get a few offensive
reps and get challenged with
protections and formations
and all that stuff,” Fisher said.
“He was good. We’ll probably
do this for the next few days
and then we’ll just add reps
for him as we move forward.”
The Rams will continue to
take it slow with Gurley, whose
junior season at Georgia
was limited to six games
after tearing the ACL in his
left knee. He rushed for 911
yards and nine touchdowns
in those six games with the
Bulldogs last season and
added 12 catches for 57 yards.
“It was great having him out
there,” Rams quarterback Nick
Foles said. “He’s going to be an
impactful player in this league.
I’m excited to get him out there
and see what he’s capable
of doing. I know what he was
capable of doing in college,
so I’m excited to see what he
does on this level for us.”
Gurley was one of the
best players in college
football during his three
years at Georgia.
In 30 career games, he racked
up 3,900 yards from scrimmage (3,285 yards rushing,
575 receiving) and 43 total
touchdowns (36 rushing, six receiving and one kickoff return).
Cowboys’ Scandrick injured
Dallas cornerback Orlando
Scandrick left practice at training camp Tuesday with what he
told his secondary coach he believed was a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
Scandrick went down working
against rookie receiver Lucky
Whitehead and was carted off
the field. The Cowboys were
awaiting results of an MRI.
“He said immediately, ‘It’s
my ACL. I know it. It’s gone,’”
secondary coach Jerome
Henderson said. “I hope
he’s just really dramatic.”
The other defensive backs
formed a circle for a prayer
when practice ended.
“I heard it in his voice,” said
cornerback Morris Claiborne,
a top-10 pick in 2012 who has
had injury issues, including a
torn patellar tendon in his left
knee that limited him to four
games last year. “After just
sitting there and looking at
him and just holding his hand,
squeezing. I know that feeling.”
Whitehead said he bent
down when he thought
Scandrick was going to hit
him as the receiver came out
of a route. Whitehead said his
shoulder pad hit Scandrick’s
knee, although video showed
Scandrick’s knee buckling
before they made contact.
“I kind of felt it,” Whitehead
said. “Hope he will be OK.”
Titans players held out of practice
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – With
a very short turnaround
between preseason games, a
handful of Titans got a break
from practice Tuesday.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt also
kept backup quarterback Zach
Mettenberger and running
back Dexter McCluster away
from the team to prevent
any illness from spreading
to the other players.
A total of 12 Titans did not
practice Tuesday. Kicker Ryan
Succop’s wife gave birth to
a son, Cooper, earlier in the
day, and right guard Chance
Warmack had an ingrown
toenail on each foot removed.
Whisenhunt said Warmack
and most of the other
missing players are expected
to practice Wednesday.
The Titans beat St. Louis
27-14 on Sunday night and visit
Kansas City on Friday night.
Whisenhunt says Mettenberger
was sick with what is believed
to be food poisoning, while
McCluster has a virus. Both
saw a doctor before being
sent home because of the
risk of being contagious.
“On a short week, we couldn’t
afford to have a bunch of
guys sick,” Whisenhunt said.
Left tackle Taylor Lewan was
asked if he ate at the same
place as Mettenberger.
“If I did, I’ll find out real
quick,” Lewan said.
Other missing Titans included
cornerback Jason McCourty,
who had groin surgery Monday
and is expected to miss at
least the next two weeks, and
cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson,
who is close to returning from
a high left ankle sprain.
Cruz’s comeback
hampered by injuries
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
– Receiver Victor Cruz is
hoping to be ready for the New
York Giants’ regular-season
opener against Dallas despite
not playing in the first two
games of the preseason.
Cruz, who is coming back
from his second knee surgery
in as many years, missed
practice again on Tuesday
with a calf injury that has
sidelined him for a week.
It’s an injury that happened
last week, and one that has
coach Tom Coughlin concerned.
Cruz was limited at the start
of training camp coming off
surgery and the calf injury
has prevented him from
getting back into football
shape. He played six games
last season because of a torn
right patellar tendon, and
did little working out with
the team in the offseason.
The 28-year-old Cruz felt
he was making progress
before the calf injury.
“It’s just a matter of getting
back out there, so I think that’s
my goal to be ready Week 1,
and in the interim make sure
I’m getting myself ready back
here when you guys are not
watching,” he said. “I feel
good, I feel confident that
I’ll be OK come Week 1.”
Coughlin would like Cruz to
play in a preseason game, he
recalled that Odell Beckham
Jr. didn’t play in the preseason last year and had an
outstanding season with 91
catches for 1,305 yards and
12 touchdowns in 12 games.
“You want them to play, that’s
what the plan was,” Coughlin
said of Cruz. “If it doesn’t work
out that way, then what’s the
next thing? We can’t worry
about something that, right
now, is not within our control.”
Broncos sign
pro-bowler Evan Mathis
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Not
long after praising his young
offensive line Tuesday,
Broncos coach Gary Kubiak
welcomed two-time Pro Bowl
guard Evan Mathis to Denver.
The 11th-year pro agreed to
a one-year deal that could
be worth up to $4 million.
Suddenly, Peyton Manning
goes from having three
NFL novices protecting him
to working behind a line
with a top set of guards.
Mathis and Louis
Vasquez were first-team
AP All-Pros in 2013.
The Broncos remain high on
rookie left guard Max Garcia,
but they already have two
starters — left tackle Ty Sambrailo and center Matt Paradis
— who have never started an
NFL regular-season game.
General manager John Elway
said Mathis “will immediately
make our team better.”

Melky Cabrera added an RBI

The Chicago bullpen protected the

Jake Petricka (4-3) picked up the win

INDIANS 11, BREWERS 6
CLEVELAND — Josh Tomlin shook off
three home runs and lasted six innings
to win his season debut at home and
Michael Brantley homered twice, leading
the Indians to a win over the Brewers.
Tomlin (2-1) allowed solo homers in
the first and second innings before
retiring 12 straight until the sixth,
when Ryan Braun hit a two-run shot.
The right-hander was making his third
start since being activated from the
disabled list following shoulder surgery
in March. He had been 0-5 in eight starts
since his last win at Progressive Field.
Brantley hit a pair of two-run shots
for the Indians, who chased Wily Peralta
(4-8) in the third inning. Jason Kipnis,
who came in tied for the AL batting lead,
had three hits and rookie Francisco
Lindor had three RBIs for Cleveland.
Jonathan Lucroy homered twice and Domingo Santana connected for Milwaukee.
TWINS 11, RAYS 7
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Brian
Dozier, Miguel Sano and Eddie Rosario
all homered as Minnesota beat the
Rays for the Twins’ fifth straight win.
Dozier gave Minnesota a 7-5 advantage on a two-run drive off reliever
Matt Andriese (3-4) in the fourth.
It was his third homer in 11 at-bats
against Tampa Bay this season.
Eduardo Escobar hit a two-run
double during a three-run fifth that
extended the Twins’ lead to 10-6.
Tampa Bay catcher Curt Casali made it
10-7 on his ninth homer since the All-Star
break and 10th overall later in the fifth,
but appeared to take an awkward step
near first base and had to leave the game
after slowly going around the bases.
Sano opened the scoring on a
towering three-run drive to center
off Nathan Karns in the first.
J.R. Graham (1-1) allowed one
run over two-thirds of an inning
for his first major league win.
METS 6, PHILLIES 5
PHILADELPHIA — Michael Cuddyer hit
a go-ahead two-run, pinch-hit single in
the sixth inning and Noah Syndergaard
finally won on the road as the Mets beat
the Phillies for their fifth straight victory.
Yoenis Cespedes homered for
the Mets, who have won 17 of their
last 23 to remain 5½ games up on
the Nationals in the NL East.
Ryan Howard and Freddy Galvis
homered for Philadelphia, which has
lost seven straight to the Mets.
Syndergaard (8-6) did just enough to
earn his first road victory of the season
in his 10th try. He entered 0-5 with a 5.05
ERA away from Citi Field while 8-1 with a
1.82 at home. In five innings, Syndergaard
allowed four runs, two earned, and four
hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.
Jerome Williams (4-10) took the loss.
NATIONALS 8, PADRES 3
WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg
allowed two hits over six innings,
Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam
and the Nationals beat the Padres.

final 15 batters he faced. Strasburg is 5-1
with a 1.51 ERA in his last seven starts
and 5-1 in his career against the Padres.
Zimmerman connected in the sixth
off Bud Norris for an 8-2 lead. It was his
fifth career slam, the first since 2013.
Jedd Gyorko homered twice but
San Diego lost its second straight
after five consecutive wins.
James Shields (9-6) gave up four
runs, eight hits and four walks in
5 2/3 innings. San Diego has lost
12 of his 15 starts since June 9.
ROCKIES 5, BRAVES 1
ATLANTA — Chad Bettis pitched five
solid innings in his return from the
disabled list and the Rockies scored four
unearned runs, taking advantage of three
errors by Atlanta third baseman Adonis
Garcia in a victory over the Braves.
Bettis (6-4) allowed five hits, walked
two and struck out four in his first big
league start since July 18. He was coming
back from right elbow inflammation.
The Rockies scored two runs in the
first after Garcia misplayed a grounder to his left that could have been an
inning-ending double play. Garcia let
Nick Hundley’s grounder get right
through him to start the fourth, allowing
the Rockies to tack on two more runs
when DJ LeMahieu came through with
a two-out, bases-loaded single.
Garcia made another error in the fifth.
Atlanta starter Mike Foltynewicz (4-6)
went five innings and took the loss.
DODGERS 5, REDS 1
CINCINNATI — Alex Wood took a
shutout into the sixth inning, and
Justin Turner and Jimmy Rollins each
hit two-run home runs as the Dodgers snapped their five-game losing
streak with a win over the Reds.
Rollins also doubled and scored
while the NL West-leading Dodgers
matched their run total from their
previous four games combined.
The Reds have lost 10 of
their last 11 games.
Cincinnati got its leadoff batter on
base in four of the first five innings, but
never pushed anybody past second with
Wood (9-8) on the mound. He left after
Brandon Phillips singled with two outs
in the sixth, and reliever Chris Hatcher
then gave up Todd Frazier’s RBI double.
John Lamb (0-2) allowed
three runs in five innings.
MARLINS 5, PIRATES 2
MIAMI — Major-league batting
leader Dee Gordon tied a career
high with four stolen bases, had two
infield hits and scored twice, helping the Marlins beat the Pirates.
Miami’s Brad Hand (4-3) pitched
into the ninth inning. He came into the
game 7-20 as a starter, worst among all
active pitchers, according to STATS, but
has won three of his past four starts.
A.J. Ramos came on with two on
and no outs in the ninth and earned
his 22nd save in 27 chances.
Gordon scored the Marlins’ first run and
reached on a bunt single to begin their
three-run sixth against Charlie Morton
(8-5). Gordon turned two double plays
at second base, including a nifty one
started by third baseman Martin Prado.
Gordon hiked his average to .333, and
he leads the majors with 156 hits.
ROYALS 3, ORIOLES 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kendrys
Morales hit a solo homer, Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer also drove
in runs and the Royals leaned on
their bullpen to beat the Orioles.
Danny Duffy (7-6) dodged trouble
for most of 5 2-3 innings, allowing two
runs on five hits and two walks. The
left-hander struck out five in a start
that began in crisp efficiency and
ended with the Orioles threatening
to pull ahead in the sixth inning.
Luke Hochevar calmed things down
with an inning of relief, though. Kelvin
Herrera had no trouble with the rest of
the seventh and eighth, and Wade Davis
pitched a perfect ninth in place of closer
Greg Holland to earn his 12th save.
Miguel Gonzalez (9-10) allowed
all three runs on six hits and
three walks in 4 1-3 innings.
WHITE SOX 5, RED SOX 4
CHICAGO — Rookie Trayce Thompson drove in three runs, including
a go-ahead, two-run double, and
the White Sox beat the Red Sox.
Thompson, who was called up Aug. 3,
PHOENIX — Tommy Pham had his
second career three-hit game, Jaime
Garcia pitched six strong innings and
St. Louis cruised past Arizona.
Three days after his first three-hit game,
Pham singled twice and got his second
career triple. He scored three times.
Six players had RBIs for the Cardinals, two apiece for Jhonny Peralta,
Jason Heyward and Yadier Molina.
The Cardinals’ Peter Bourjos’ got his
first career pinch-hit home run.
Garcia (6-4) allowed a run and four hits,
striking out six and walking one. The Cardinals, 35 games above .500, earned their
MLB-best 80th victory and lengthened
their lead to five games over second-place Pittsburgh in the NL Central.
Robbie Ray (3-10) lasted three
innings plus two batters. He allowed
six runs and five hits. Ray walked five,
hit a batter and struck out one.
MARINERS 6, ATHLETICS 5
SEATTLE — Austin Jackson’s bases-loaded, two-run single in the fifth inning capped Seattle’s rally from a five-run
deficit and led the Mariners past Oakland.
Down 5-0 entering the fourth inning,
Nelson Cruz sparked Seattle’s comeback with his major league-leading 38th
home run, a solo shot off Jesse Chavez.
He extended his streak of reaching
base safely to 35 straight games.
Logan Morrison, on his 28th
birthday, finished the fourth-inning rally with a two-run shot, his
13th, off the foul pole in right.
The Mariners added three runs in the
fifth, finishing with Jackson’s two-out, goahead single that chased Chavez (7-13).
CUBS 8, GIANTS 5
SAN FRANCISCO — Kyle Schwarber,
Miguel Montero and Starlin Castro all
hit home runs in support of another
solid outing from Jake Arrieta, and
Chicago won its sixth straight.
Schwarber’s towering, three-run
homer in the third set the tone for the
Cubs, who have won 21 of 25 games to
pull 7 1/2 games ahead of the Giants
for the second wild-card spot.
Arrieta (16-6) had his 13th consecutive
quality start, the longest streak by a Cubs
pitcher in 23 years. He allowed an unearned run on four hits in six-plus innings.
Arrieta, who took over the major-league lead for wins, walked one
and struck out eight, lowering his ERA
to 2.22, second in the NL behind Los
Angeles Dodgers’ Zack Greinke’s 1.67.
Hector Rondon pitched the
ninth for his 24th save
Matt Cain (2-4) lasted five innings,
giving up six runs and eight hits.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Daughters are resentful toward new stepmother
Dear Annie: My husband, “Ben,” and I each
lost a spouse and then
found each other. We live
in the same house with
one of his daughters and
a granddaughter. Ben
is quite attached to this
house. The two daughters are the owners now,
but their father bought
it originally and has
always maintained it.
The daughter who lives
here has a neurological
disorder, which keeps
her from accepting me.
She has only spoken
to me by name two or
three times, although she
knows how to blow up
at us when something
makes her angry. I try to
greet her every morning
with a family nickname
that she likes, but she
still only grunts in reply.
It seems that she has
influenced the granddaughter to resent me,
as well. I have tried to
put my foot down on
occasion, but mostly, I
just meekly defend myself
from her criticism. My
husband feels sorry for
her and she fawns over
him, so he believes that
she can do no wrong.
He cannot hear well, so
he is unaware of how
she speaks to me.
I’ve asked Ben about
moving to a place of our
own, but he won’t do it.
He also doesn’t like the
idea of paying rent when
he has a place to live for
free. And his daughter
wants him to stay because
he does all of the upkeep
and pays the bills.
Annie, I cringe when
I hear one of these girls
coming, and I hide if I
can. I have prayed about
my anger and tried to
overcome the fear I feel
at an encounter. Ben
would not condone my
going for counseling, as
he is a minister himself.
Is there anything I can
do? — Coming In Third
Dear Third: You do
not need Ben’s permission
to get counseling to help
you deal with an unfair
and unpleasant situation
that he is perpetuating.
Was the living situation
discussed in advance?
Did you agree to live with
his daughter forever?
Your minister husband
should be aware that
spouses promise to put
each other first when they
marry. He has not done
this. Please get counseling
with or without Ben. You
also may need to get a
place of your own to find
peace, and if Ben refuses
to relocate with you, suggest that he visit often.
Dear Annie: Some
close friends of ours have
become lazy hosts. When
we have a party at our
home, we provide the
food and other items. If
we have a potluck, each
guest brings a dish and
we provide the main
course and the drinks.
For these friends, the

CELEBRITIES BORN ON
THIS DAY: Keke Palmer, 22;
Macaulay Culkin, 35; Chris Pine,
35; Melissa McCarthy, 45.
Happy Birthday: Keeping a
steady, surefooted pace will be
your saving grace. Opportunities
are plentiful, so choose what you
are able to handle and make
steady gains as you go. A sudden,
unexpected change in your financial situation could come from an
unusual source. Keeping a clear
head will help you avoid being
used. Your numbers are 2, 16, 23,
28, 30, 33, 46.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Initiate changes that will help
you feel healthier. Love is encouraged, and socializing and sharing
your plans will bring you closer
to the type of life you want to
live. It’s up to you to make things
happen. 2 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Get involved, make plans, network or do something special for
someone you want to get to know
better. Speak from the heart and
express an interest in whatever
you are dealing with, and you
will find out valuable information. 5 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
A practical approach to whatever
you do is a much better approach
than casting your fate to the wind
and seeing what unfolds. Take
control of the situations you face
and harness what you want by
using your skills strategically. 3
stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Focus on partnerships. Discuss
your plans with others and
explore your options. Someone
you meet through a friend or
while traveling will spark your
interest in something you might
not have previously considered.
3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You
can make professional changes,
but don’t leave one job until you
have found another. It’s important to be responsible and not act
impulsively. Collect information
and update your skills before you
decide to make a move. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Speak up and those around you
will listen and take note of what
you are proposing. Your intelligence and dedication will be
recognized and help you gain
respect as well as an interesting
position. Think big, but don’t lose
sight of reality. 5 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A
transformation is taking place.
Facing difficulties will open
your eyes and your mind to new
opportunities. Don’t allow anyone to steer you away from a
course that can bring you happiness. Believe in yourself and do as
you please. 2 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Stop and take note of what is
going on around you. Look for
unusual opportunities and search
for answers to the unknown.
Your curiosity will lead you to
more fortunate circumstances.
Don’t let the choices others make
lead you astray. 4 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): Expect to face difficulties if
you try to push your ideas on others. If you want to make changes,
focus inward and do whatever it
takes to improve mentally, physically and emotionally. Do your
homework and you’ll get results.
3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Emotions will be difficult to
contain. Don’t hide the way you
feel when expressing your opinions. Make a plan to do the things
that will help you achieve greater happiness. Nothing ventured,
nothing gained. 3 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18): Abide by the rules and you’ll
avoid unexpected headaches. It’s
important to put greater effort
into the relationships you have
with others. A change of attitude
will encourage others to strive
to improve as well. Love is highlighted. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Take a trip that will offer you a
chance to learn something new
or discover what you want to
do next. Greater involvement in
an effort to bring about positive
reforms or improvements to your
community should be on your
agenda. 4 stars
Birthday Baby: You are
adaptable, creative and precise.
You are willful and organized.

last few birthday parties
have been at restaurants where we paid
for our own meals. The
“hosts” might bring a
cake, but the rest of us
are expected to bring
a gift to the honoree.
This seems cheap to
me. We enjoy getting
together, but would
appreciate a little more
effort. Otherwise, they
aren’t hosting the party
at all. We are. — Not So
Social in Louisville, Ky.
Dear Not So: If you
are paying your own way,
then they are not hosting
the event. However, it
is not uncommon for a
bunch of friends to get
together to celebrate
someone’s birthday, in
which case, there is no
host at all. We hope
they reciprocate for your
lovely home hospitality
in some other way.
