The Sisters United Rugby Club – a team of female rugby players who play locally and against
other teams in the Pacific Region – held demonstrations during the International Day of the Girl
celebrations this past Saturday, at the Veterans Memorial Stadium. More photos and story of the

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The numbers were preposterous: 522
yards passing, 40 completions, six touchdowns.
Yet the only number Ben Roethlisberger seemed concerned
about after helping the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Indianapolis
Colts 51-34 on Sunday was two. After spending the first seven
weeks alternating wins and losses, the Steelers have won consecutive games for the first time this year. And just like that,
Pittsburgh (5-3) is in the mix in the packed AFC North with a
showdown against rival Baltimore next week.
“This is a big turning point for us if you will, 5-3 sounds a lot
better than 4-4,” Roethlisberger said. “It puts us back in the thick
of some AFC stuff.” With a bullet.
The Steelers raced to an early 35-10 lead, scoring touchdowns
on their first four possessions and mixed in a pick-six against
Andrew Luck. Still, they needed an uncharacteristic mistake by
Luck and some aggressive playcalling by coach Mike Tomlin to
avoid a collapse.
The Colts trailed 42-34 midway through the fourth quarter
when they recovered a fumble at the Pittsburgh 5. Any chance
of another memorable comeback disappeared when Luck tripped
over the foot of center Jonotthan Harrison and flung the ball from
his backside while sitting on the goal line. Officials called him
for intentional grounding in the end zone. The safety pushed the
Steelers’ lead to 10 and Roethlisberger’s sixth touchdown pass
of the day on the ensuing possession capped his 100th victory as
a starter.
“This was offense, defense and special teams, coaches,”
Roethlisberger said. “This was everybody and why does it have
to stop here? Why can’t we keep doing this?” Replicating the
greatest performance of his 11-year career might be tough.
Roethlisberger’s passing yardage tied for the fourth-most in NFL
history. He became the first player ever to have two games with
500 yards in the air and set a team record with his half-dozen
scoring tosses.
“Ben is Ben,” wide receiver Antonio Brown said. “He never
surprises me. It’s a great day at the office.” And not so much
for the Colts (5-3), who saw their five-game winning streak end
in spectacular fashion. “We didn’t do much of anything to give
ourselves a chance,” Indianapolis coach Chuck Pagano said. Not
with Roethlisberger at the top of his game. Here are some other
takeaways from Pittsburgh’s most impressive win of the season:
WIDE OPEN OFFENSE: While Brown led the way as usual
with 10 receptions for 133 yards and two scores, Roethlisberger
spread it around. Nine players caught at least one pass, including
rookie Martavis Bryant. Buried on the inactive list for the first
six weeks, Bryant now has three touchdowns in two games after
hauling in 5-yard and 2-yard scores in the first half.
LOTS OF LUCK: The third-year quarterback passed for 400
yards and three touchdowns, extending his streak of games with
at least 300 yards passing to six, a new club record. Donte Moncrief caught seven passes for 113 yards and a score and T.Y.
Hilton grabbed six passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. Still,
he’ll think about the pick-six he threw to Pittsburgh’s William
Gay and the ill-fated pass from his backside that will stick with
him. “Just a bonehead play by me,” Luck said.
BACK TO EARTH: The Colts’ defense came in rolling after
shutting out Cincinnati and limiting the Bengals to 135 yards.
The Steelers topped that total by the end of the first quarter as
Indianapolis struggled to generate any pass rush and Pittsburgh
receivers ran wide open through the Colts’ secondary.
“We’ve shown everybody what we can do so the expectations
are high,” safety Mike Adams said. “So to take a step back like
this is tough.”
STAYING AGGRESSIVE: Tomlin and offensive coordinator Todd Haley have taken an aggressive tack in recent weeks
searching for a spark. They found it on four-and-1 at the Indianapolis 11 with just over 5 minutes to go. Rather than kick a field
goal, the offense stayed on the field and Roethlisberger found
Miller in the back of the end zone for the clincher.
“We are not going to take our foot off the gas,” Tomlin said.
HURTING: Indianapolis lost cornerback Vontae Davis
(knee) and linebacker Erik Walden (hip flexor). They will be reevaluated on Monday. The Steelers didn’t sustain any significant
injuries, though tackle Marcus Gilbert missed the game with a
concussion and nose tackle Steve McLendon missed his second
straight contest with a shoulder injury.

Bengals Beat Ravens 27-24
Andy Dalton made up
for his two second-half turnovers by scoring on a 1-yard
sneak with 57 seconds left on
Sunday, rallying the Cincinnati Bengals to a 27-24 victory
over the Baltimore Ravens that
tightened the AFC North race.
The Bengals (4-2-1) wasted
an 11-point lead as Dalton’s
fumble and interception helped
the Ravens (5-3) pull ahead
24-20 with 3:59 left.
That’s when Dalton pulled
it out against the NFL’s stingiest defense. He threw a
53-yard pass to Mohamed
Sanu on third-and-10 — safety
Terrence Brooks got turned
around — and took it the final
yard on fourth down, completing a 10-play, 80-yard
drive.
The Ravens appeared to
regain the lead when Steve
Smith Sr. caught a pass and
went 80 yards to the end zone
with 32 seconds left, but the
receiver was called for pushing
off to get open.
LIONS 22, FALCONS 21
LONDON (AP) — Matt
Prater kicked a 48-yard field
goal on the last play of the
game Sunday, lifting the Lions
after trailing by 21 points.
Prater capped a second straight
late winning drive for the Lions
(6-2), who also rallied to beat
the Saints last week. It was the
first field goal the Lions made
from 40-49 yards all season.

Matthew Stafford threw
for 325 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 120 TDs,
breaking the Lions record of
118 held by Bobby Layne.
Matt Ryan led the Falcons
(2-6) with 228 yards passing
and two touchdowns, but
clock management problems,
a penalty and a dropped pass
doomed the Falcons at the end.
The blown halftime lead tied
the biggest in Atlanta history.
CARDINALS 24,
EAGLES 20
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) —
Carson Palmer lofted a 75-yard
touchdown pass to rookie John
Brown with 1:21 to play to
give Arizona a stunning victory in a matchup of two of
the NFL’s four one-loss teams
entering this week. The Cardinals (6-1) had a goal-line stand
that forced the Eagles (5-2) to
settle for a 20-yard field goal
that put Philadelphia up 20-17
with 1:56 left. Then on thirdand-5, Palmer — who also had
an 80-yard TD pass to Larry
Fitzgerald — heaved the ball
deep, where the speedy Brown
gathered it in and crossed the
goal line just as he was being
tackled.
The Eagles drove to the
Arizona 16. On the last play,
Jordan Matthews caught a pass
from Nick Foles in the end
zone but landed out of bounds.
SEAHAWKS 13,
PANTHERS 9
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
— Russell Wilson threw a
23-yard touchdown pass to
Luke Willson with 47 seconds left. It’s the third straight
year Wilson has brought the
Seahawks (4-3) back from a
second-half deficit to beat the
Panthers on the road. In the
previous two seasons, Wilson
threw second-half TD passes
to Jermaine Kearse and Golden
Tate in tight defensive games.
Carolina’s defense, which
had allowed at least 37 points
in four of its previous five
games, held the Seahawks
in check before Wilson led a
nine-play, 80-yard drive for
the only touchdown. Wilson
finished 20 of 32 for 199 yards
with one interception and one
touchdown. Cam Newton was
12 of 27 for 121 yards with an
interception and a fumble for
the Panthers (3-4-1).
SAINTS 44, PACKERS 23
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
Drew Brees completed 27 of
32 passes for 311 yards and
three touchdowns, and the
Saints ended the Packers’ fourgame winning streak.
Rookie receiver Brandin
Cooks had a 50-yard touchdown catch and a 4-yard
scoring run, and tight end
Jimmy Graham also caught
a touchdown pass to help the
Saints (3-4) pull even in victories with Carolina (3-4-1).
That sets up a showdown to
decide first place in the NFC
South on Thursday night.
Aaron Rodgers, intercepted
only once in Green Bay’s first
seven games, was picked off
twice on deflected and sacked
three times. He still passed for
418 yards, including a 70-yard
touchdown pass to Randall
Cobb, but it was not nearly
enough to prevent the Packers
(5-3) from falling a game
behind NFC North leader
Detroit.
PATRIOTS 51, BEARS 23
FOXBOROUGH,
Mass.
(AP) — Tom Brady threw
five scoring passes and the
streaking Patriots crammed
three touchdowns into the last
two minutes of the first half.
New England (6-2) scored
on all five of its possessions
in the half — and one of Chicago’s — on its way to its
fourth straight win. The Bears
(3-5) fell behind 45-7 early in
the second half and lost for the
fourth time in five games.
In one of the best statistical games of his brilliant
career, Brady completed 30
of 35 passes for 354 yards. He
threw three scoring passes to
Rob Gronkowski and one each
to Tim Wright and Brandon
LaFell. Defensive end Rob
Ninkovich scored with 55 seconds left in the first half on a
15-yard return of Jay Cutler’s
fumble.
VIKINGS 19,
BUCCANEERS 13, OT
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) —
Anthony Barr forced a fumble
on the first play of overtime and
returned it 27 yards to score.
The stunning end came just 17
seconds after the Vikings (3-5)
extended the game on Blair
Walsh’s 38-yard field goal on
the final play of regulation.
Teddy Bridgewater threw
for 241 yards, one TD and no
interceptions to help Minnesota stop a three-game skid.
Mike Glennon threw a
7-yard scoring pass to Austin
Seferian-Jenkins
to
give
Tampa Bay (1-6) a 13-10 lead
with 2:02 remaining. But the
Bucs’ porous defense couldn’t
stop Bridgewater from putting
together a nine-play, 61-yard
march to get the game into OT.
Glennon’s pass to SeferianJenkins gained 10 yards before
Barr stripped the ball from the
rookie tight end and took it up
the left sideline to score.
CHIEFS 34, RAMS 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)
— Jamaal Charles ran for
two touchdowns, Knile Davis
returned a kick 99 yards for
another score and the Chiefs
trounced their cross-state rival.
Cairo Santos added a pair
of field goals for Kansas City
(4-3), including a career-best
53-yarder. Alex Smith was 24
of 28 for 226 yards, while Davis
capped a run of 34 unanswered
points with a short touchdown
run late in the fourth quarter.
Justin Houston had three of
the Chiefs’ seven sacks.
The banged-up Rams (2-5)
lost their sixth straight to
Kansas City dating to Sept.
25, 1994, when they were still
in Los Angeles. Austin Davis
threw for 160 yards with a
touchdown and a pick.

DOLPHINS 27, JAGUARS 13
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Rookie
Blake Bortles had two interceptions returned
for touchdowns, costly mistakes that helped
the Dolphins win. Louis Delmas (81 yards) and
Brent Grimes (22 yards) scored on the turnovers for the Dolphins (4-3), who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Ryan
Tannehill’s 3-yard pass to Rishard Matthews
made it 24-6 late in the third quarter and gave
the Dolphins a comfortable cushion in a game
they could have easily trailed by double digits.
The Jaguars (1-7) dominated the first half,
but trailed 10-3 at the break because of miscues. Bortles was the culprit, continuing a trend
that started when
© 2014he took over the starting job
last month. Bortles had three turnovers Sunday,
giving him six in the last two weeks and 13 in
six games. Four of those have been interceptions returned for touchdowns.
BILLS 43, JETS 23
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Kyle
Orton threw four touchdown passes and the
Bills forced six turnovers, three each by Geno
Smith and Michael Vick. Orton won for the
third time in four games since replacing EJ
Manuel as the starting quarterback for the Bills
(5-3), tossing TD passes to Robert Woods, Lee
Smith, Scott Chandler and Sammy Watkins
against the listless Jets (1-7). Stephon Gilmore,
Preston Brown, Aaron Williams and Da’Norris
Searcy had interceptions for the Bills. The Jets
have lost seven straight for the first time since
2005, in Herm Edwards’ final season as coach.
Geno Smith interceptions on three consecutive
possessions in the first quarter and was pulled
in favor of Vick, who was picked off once and
lost two fumbles.
Continued from page B2
BROWNS 23, RAIDERS 13
CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer threw
a 4-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Hawkins
early in the fourth quarter and the Browns
avoided a second straight embarrassing loss.
Hoyer’s TD to Hawkins put the Browns (4-3)
ahead 16-6, shortly after Cleveland’s defense
came to the rescue. Safety Donte Whitner forced
a fumble late in the third quarter with a huge hit
on Oakland running back Darren McFadden as
the Raiders (0-7) were driving deep into Cleveland territory.
Cleveland lost at Jacksonville last week,
giving the Jaguars their first win. According to
STATS, no team in NFL history has lost consecutive games to winless teams in Week 7 or
later. It was hardly a perfect performance, but
the Browns, who were held to 39 yards rushing
and converted only 2 of 12 third downs, will
take it.
TEXANS 30, TITANS 16
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Arian Foster
ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also
caught a pass for a score in the franchise’s 200th
game. The Texans (4-4) also snapped a threegame skid as Foster topped 100 yards rushing
in his fourth straight game. J.J. Watt had two
sacks and forced a fumble as the Texans beat
the team they replaced in Houston for the fourth
time in five games. Texans linebacker Jadeveon
Clowney played for the first time since hurting
his knee in the season opener. Clowney finished
with one tackle.
Rookie Zach Mettenberger turned over the
ball twice in his first start, and he also threw for
299 yards and two touchdowns.
The Titans (2-6) go into their bye having lost
two straight.

South Africa
soccer team
captain shot
and killed
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The captain of the South African
national soccer team was fatally shot at his girlfriend’s house
during an attempted robbery Sunday night as he tried to apprehend the intruders, police and an eyewitness said.
Goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was killed around 8 p.m. after two
gunmen entered a house in Vosloorus township near Johannesburg while an accomplice of theirs waited outside. The 27-yearold Meyiwa was shot in the upper body, police spokesman Brig.
Neville Malila said Monday.
Tumelo Waka Madlala, a friend of Meyiwa’s who said he was
at the house during the attempted robbery, said the goalkeeper
was shot while trying to stop the intruders, who had demanded
cellphones and money from people inside the home.
“As they were running away we tried to stop them and that
is when they shot him at point blank range,” Madlala told The
Associated Press.
The house belonged to Meyiwa’s girlfriend Kelly Khumalo,
a South African singer and celebrity, witnesses said. There were
seven people in the house before the intruders entered, according
to police. No one else was hurt.
South Africa’s police force offered a reward of nearly $23,000
for information leading to arrests in the death of the captain of
the country’s most popular national sports team. Meyiwa also
played for the Orlando Pirates, one of South Africa’s biggest
clubs.
National soccer team coach Ephraim Mashaba wiped away
tears at a news conference in Johannesburg as he spoke about
Meyiwa, who had recently been made South Africa captain and
led the team in four African Cup of Nations qualifiers this year.
He hadn’t conceded a goal in the four games.
“Most of the time, these things come when you least expect,”
coach Mashaba said, tears running down his cheeks. “We’re
going to miss Senzo a lot ... never mind his saving goals.”
South African police announced late Sunday on their Twitter
account that Meyiwa had been shot and killed, adding it was
breaking protocol to announce his death soon after the shooting.
Police also called for calm, saying “upset” people had gathered
at the house and at the hospital where Meyiwa was confirmed
dead.
Police said he was shot after an “altercation” with the suspects and were treating the incident as an attempted robbery and
had opened a murder case.
South Africa has a high rate of violent crime, an issue that
was raised during the recent trial of Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius, who claimed he shot and killed his girlfriend by accident
in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013 after mistaking her for a
dangerous intruder in his home.
Orlando Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza called on football fans
to help find the people responsible for killing Meyiwa. He said
the club and Meyiwa’s teammates were “devastated” and were
sobbing and crying when they gathered for training on Monday
morning.
“Senzo was a good man,” Khoza said. “24 hours cannot go
past without knowing who killed Senzo ... We don’t want to
speculate, we want to know who killed Senzo.”
South African President Jacob Zuma also released a statement saying “words cannot express the nation’s shock at this
loss.”
“The law enforcement authorities must leave no stone
unturned in finding his killers and bring them to justice,” Zuma
said.
Dean Furman, one of Meyiwa’s national teammates, wrote
on Twitter: “Beyond devastated at the loss of our captain &
friend Senzo Meyiwa. Thoughts & prayers are with his family
& friends at this terrible time.”
Meyiwa led the South Africa team in its last game, a 0-0 draw
with Republic of Congo on Oct. 15 that kept it top of its group
and on course to qualify for next year’s continental championship. He played for Orlando Pirates on Saturday in a 4-1 win
over Ajax Cape Town in a cup competition.
South Africa’s Premier Soccer League postponed this weekend’s derby game between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs,
the country’s two biggest clubs, out of respect for Meyiwa.
Meyiwa’s killing was the second death to hit South African
sport in three days after former 800-meter world champion and
Olympic silver medalist Mbulaeni Mulaudzi was killed in a car
crash on Friday.

Lee-Anne Pace
wins Blue Bay
LPGA
HAINAN ISLAND, China
(AP) — South Africa’s LeeAnne Pace won the rainshortened Blue Bay LPGA on
Monday for her first LPGA
Tour title and second worldwide victory in nine days.
Four strokes ahead with
five holes left when play was
suspended Sunday because of
darkness, Pace finished off a
5-under 67 for a three-stroke
victory over Germany’s Caroline Masson. The 33-year-old
Pace won the South African
Women’s Open last week for
her ninth Ladies European
Tour victory. She’s the second
South African-born champion
in LPGA Tour history, joining
15-time winner Sally Little.
The victory was her third in
China, following the LET’s
Sanya Ladies Open in 2010 &
2013.
Pace made a 6-foot birdie
putt on the par-5 18th to finish at
16-under 200 at Jian Lake Blue
Bay. Masson birdied the final
three holes for a 67. Michelle
Wie and Jessica Korda tied for
third at 11 under. Wie finished
with a 70. She tied for fifth last
week in South Korea in her
first start since withdrawing
from the Evian Championship
in September after reinjuring
her right hand. Korda, tied for
the second-round lead with
Pace, closed with a 72. Rain
delayed play for nearly four
hours Sunday with the leaders
halfway through the round,
leading to the Monday finish in
the tournament cut from 72 to
54 holes after play was washed
out Friday. The start Monday
also was delayed by showers.
The tournament was the
fourth stop on the six-event
Asian Swing. The LPGA
Taiwan Championship is next
week, followed by the Mizuno
Classic in Japan.
Royals head
home trailing 3-2
in World Series

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)
— This is not the first time the
Kansas City Royals have been
in trouble this season.
A .500 team after 100
games, the Royals turned it on
down the stretch to earn their
first playoff berth in 29 years.
Down four runs in the
eighth inning of the AL wildcard game, Kansas City rallied
to force extra innings and then
overcame another deficit in the
12th before beating the Oakland Athletics.
Now, after being blanked
5-0 by San Francisco Giants
ace Madison Bumgarner on
Sunday night, the Royals find
themselves on the brink of
elimination again as they head
home trailing 3-2 in the World
Series.
“We know we can do it,”
first baseman Eric Hosmer
said. “We’re a confident
group. But we can’t do anything without winning Game
6. We’re excited to get back
home where we feed off the
fans and that energy.”
The Royals have history
on their side. Eight of the past
10 teams that headed home
trailing 3-2 in the Series won
it all. Kansas City is one of the
teams that did it, rallying from
a 3-1 deficit to beat St. Louis
for the franchise’s only championship in 1985.
One other factor in
the Royals’ favor is that
Bumgarner won’t be able to
start again. The left-hander
won two of the first five games,
including a brilliant four-hitter
Sunday that left Kansas City
searching for answers.
“He throws three, four
pitches that are all plus and
commands all of them well,”
third baseman Mike Moustakas
said. “Just when you think you
figure something out, he does
the exact opposite and messes
with you. That’s how he is,
that’s how he goes.”
The Royals’ stay in San
Francisco got off to a splendid
start when they won 3-2 in
Game 3 to take the lead in the
Series and then went ahead 4-1
early in Game 4.
That all unraveled quickly.
They have been outscored
15-0 in the past 14 innings as
the bats have gone silent and
a once-dominant bullpen has
shown some vulnerabilities.
But Kansas City’s confidence
has not waned.
“I think the character in
our clubhouse is at an alltime high,” said starter James
Shields, who allowed two runs
in six innings to take the loss in
Game 5. “That’s what’s going
to get us through the next
two games. We’ve been here
before late in the season when
we had to get some wins late in
September and we got it done.
It’s no different.”
In fact, the task is much
less daunting than the one the
Royals faced against Oakland,
when they trailed Jon Lester
7-3 in the eighth inning. They
scored three runs in the eighth,
tied it with another in the ninth
and then scored two in the 12th
to win 9-8.
That started a run of 10
postseason wins in 11 games
that was brought to a sudden
halt the past two nights in San
Francisco. The Royals are
hoping they can turn things
around starting Tuesday night,
when rookie Yordano Ventura
pitches against Jake Peavy.
A win would force a seventh
game, with Jeremy Guthrie
starting against Tim Hudson.
Kansas City’s two wins in
the Series came when those
pitchers faced each other the
first time.

Kona Motorsport Park project
picks up speed
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) — Mauka from the Kekaha
Kai State Park entrance on Queen Kaahumanu Highway is
land the Hawaii Racing Association believes is best suited for
a motorsport park.
Since 1994, this nonprofit, which claims 3,400 members,
has worked toward making this proposed facility a reality in
West Hawaii, including downsizing the planned layout from
600 acres to 250 acres today. Its backers say it will be a safe,
legal and family-friendly place to partake in motorsport activities and driver training, and the grounds also could be used for
concerts, carnivals, fairs and swap meets.
The Kona Motorsport Park is a means to help boost the
island’s economy, said Paul Maddox, Hawaii Racing Association president.
Its critics have cited concerns about noise, lighting and
potential negative effects on property values. Their criticism,
time and time again, proves one person’s dream is another’s
nightmare.
In January, Hawaii Racing Association sent its members a
questionnaire, which was used to determine the park’s desired
features. An improving economy and continuing development
growth in West Hawaii, as well as support expressed by Mayor
Billy Kenoi and his administration, prompted the association
to push for the project again, Maddox said. More parks and
recreation facilities and opportunities are needed on the leeward side, he added.
This isn’t the first time county officials have backed the
project. Former mayor Harry Kim and former Kona councilman Curtis Tyler III were also proponents, Maddox said. An
archive search found Tyler co-sponsored a resolution, passed
by the council, supporting the construction of a race park in
West Hawaii as long as it was in an area that didn’t impact
existing or future development. The association’s chronology
notes Kim pledged in 2005 county support to see the project
through and the County Council adopted in 1999 a resolution
supporting facilities for motorsports on the island.
The current plan is to build the Kona Motorsport Park in
three phases and turn it over to the county to be maintained as
a public park, much like the Hilo dragstrip complex, Maddox
said. Phase one includes club-built courses and trails for
motorcycles and ATVs, motocross tracks for adults and keiki,
off-road climbing and areas for radio controlled cars, mountain
biking and bicycle motocross. Phase two includes a 20-acre
multiuse area for concerts, car shows, fairs and other events,
as well as courses for drifting, autocross and a driving school.
Phase three has a quarter-mile dragstrip for racing, a professional go-kart track, and a 2-mile winding road course. This
dream facility is estimated to cost at least $36 million, Maddox
said.
Earlier this year, Hawaii Racing Association sent approximately 1,600 letters about the project to residents, businesses
and organizations within 3 miles of the proposed site, which is
state land. The association received 25 letters in support of the
project and 11 letters against it, Maddox said.
Wednesday, Maddox said the proposed motorsport venue
will be nothing like raceway parks on the mainland or the ones
people are familiar with on television. He also acknowledged
that sound is “the main concern and big gorilla in the room,”
which is why the association is paying for a nearly $20,000
sound survey to be done now.
After receiving a $10,000 deposit for a sound survey, Oahu’s
D.L. Adams Associates engineers took sound samples at the
Hilo drag races and motocross, as well as ambient sound levels
at the proposed motorsport park location and surrounding
areas. With computer modeling, they will simulate the sound
of the Hilo races over the proposed 250-acre motorsport park
lava terrain and up to 3 miles away. Besides revealing how
the sound travels at that location, they will also share ways
on how sound can be mitigated, if necessary, Maddox said.
Having worked on numerous federal, state and county projects
in Hawaii, these engineers are very familiar with lava and its
ability to absorb sound, he added.
Sound survey results will be made public on the association’s website and will indicate whether or not the facility is
practical, Maddox said. “If it fails, and there’s nothing that can
be done to appease those upcountry with concerns, then we’ll
abandoned the project in that location,” he added.
The area mauka of Kekaha Kai State Beach Park has been
deemed the ideal site for the Kona Motorsport Park since 1998,
when the mayor’s office, via the state Department of Land and
Natural Resources, suggested it as a possibility.
Lava from Hawaii volcano makes
steady advance
Officials say molten lava from a Hawaii volcano has been flowing steadily in an area where
residents have been warned they might have to
evacuate their homes.
Dozens of residents in the flow path have
been told to complete all necessary preparations
by Tuesday for a possible evacuation. The timeline could change, based on the flow rate.
The Red Cross said it was opening a shelter
to aide any evacuees.
Authorities on Sunday said lava flow on the
Big Island of Hawaii had advanced hundreds of
yards since Saturday morning and was moving
at the rate of about 10 to 15 yards an hour, consistent with its advancement in recent days.
Kilauea volcano has been erupting continuously since 1983. Most lava from this eruption
has flowed south. But the lava has flowed to the
northeast over the past two years.
The current flow that has been threatening
Pahoa began in June. It’s been moving toward
town in fits and starts for weeks, speeding up
and then slowing down.
The flow front passed through a predominantly Buddhist cemetery, covering grave sites
in the mostly rural region of Puna, and was
roughly a half-mile from Pahoa Village Road,
the main street of Pahoa.
Darryl Oliveira, director of civil defense
for Hawaii County, told reporters during a late
Sunday morning teleconference that the nearest
home was at least 300 yards from the flow front.
He planned to get better coordinates during a
flight later in the day.
Residents in the nearest home said they
could see the flow front from their balcony and
were prepared to evacuate when the time came,
Oliveira said.
Oliveira estimated there were at least 50 to
60 structures, including homes and businesses,
in the area most likely to be impacted.
Authorities went door-to-door, notifying residents Saturday of the need to be ready to evacuate. The vast majority of residents contacted
had identified places where they could go, with
“less than a handful” saying they may need to
go to a shelter, he said.
As the lava moved through the cemetery,
Oliveira said a monument was visible, protruding through the molten mass.
Janet Babb, a geologist and spokeswoman
for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, said
methane explosions also have been going off.
She said decomposing vegetation produces
methane gas that can travel subsurface beyond
the lava front in different directions, accumulating in pockets that can ignite. She said it was
a bit unnerving to hear all the blasts on Saturday.
One passed near where she and others were
standing.
“At the time that it happened, it was such
a rumble I thought it was thunder and that we
were about to be struck by lightning,” she said.
Election officials prepare for
lava flow threat
HONOLULU (AP) — Officials are hoping
to avoid disruptions in next month’s elections
from an advancing lava flow in a mostly rural
region on the Big Island of Hawaii.
In August, Tropical Storm Iselle kept some
voters in the Puna region from during the polls
primary election, and there was subsequent
confusion about how they could cast their ballots. Now, a lava flow threatens to isolate some
voters ahead of the Nov. 4 general election.
Hawaii County clerk Stewart Maeda told
the Honolulu Star-Advertiser (http://bit.
ly/1DgokP4) the county would wait for an
assessment of the lava flow Monday before
publicly announcing any revised election plans.
“We don’t want to create confusion, but we
want to give notice as early as possible if the
potential appears that Highway 130 will be
impacted by Election Day,” he said.
Preparations already have been made.
In September, voters in three Puna precincts
received absentee ballot applications in case
they had to flee, and a special early voting walkin site opened last week at Nanawale Estates
Community Center in Pahoa.
“Everything they can do to get people to
vote now is good, and I think they’ve worked
hard to do that,” said David Tarnas, chairman
of Hawaii County Democrats, who was critical
of elections officials after the storm. He said he
commended elections officials for their efforts.
State Sen. Russell Ruderman, D-Puna, said
if the lava hits Highway 130 by Election Day,
voters may still be able to reach their precincts
or consolidated precincts from emergency
access roads.
“I don’t think we’re going to have people
isolated, physically unable to vote like we did
during Iselle,” he said. “But it’s going to be tremendously inconvenient. And, once again, it
will result in a differential on whether you can
vote, and how easily you can vote, based on
where your precinct is.”
Ruderman, who called for the firing of the
state’s chief election officer after Iselle, would
have preferred an all-mail election for the Puna
precincts in November. He is frustrated with
preparations thus far.
“My opinion of the Office of Elections’
responsiveness is something you couldn’t
print,” he said.
Guam crafter
named master carver
HAGATNA, Guam (AP) — A woman
who has created and carved cultural art for
more than 22 years on Tuesday was honored
with the title “Sainan Minehalom ManlasgueAdotnon I Tatåotao,” or Master Carver-Body
Ornamentation.
The Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency on Oct. 21 gave Julie “Jill”
Quichocho Benavente the title during a surprise
ceremony at the Saggan Kotturan Chamorro in
Tumon. The title of Guam Master was created
under local law to recognize master practitioners who preserve the island’s history and cultural traditions.
Benavente carves fine jewelry from local
materials such as giant clam, spondylus, stone,
cow bone, wild boar tusks, deer horn and more.
Benavente believed yesterday’s ceremony
was being held for the upcoming Festival of the
Pacific Arts, which Guam is hosting in 2016.
Holding back tears, she accepted the award
and thanked everyone who made it possible.
After the ceremony she said the title is an
honor, but it won’t change what she does every
day. She said the focus now is to get ready for
the festival in 2016.
Benavente said it is important for other
young Chamorros to find someone to learn from
so that the culture can continue to live on.
As a traditional Chamorro jewelry artist,
Benavente gradually established herself in
the male-dominated art form in the 1990s,
according to a biography from CAHA.
She had a difficult time being accepted, which
helped her develop her own processes and style
as an artist. She started doing basic latte design,
the iconic symbols of the Chamorro people, and
then gradually designed unique pieces.
Her signature piece is the “Hima Gualafon,”
or full moon, necklace worn by many women
active in the cultural perpetuation movement.
Her work has been showcased at numerous
exhibits and events and she has been a steadfast
participant and advocate of Chamorro cultural
renaissance.

SLIPPERY
THE MIDDLE
CONDITIONS
By Robert W.
ByWalls
Rob Lee
Happy Birthday: Let your imagination run
wild. Creativity coupled with excellent timing
will help you gain ground this year. Don’t let the
changes going on around you deter your plans.
It’s important to follow your gut feeling and build
the future that will bring you the greatest satisfaction. Don’t let anyone bully or manipulate you to
take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you.
Your numbers are 3, 13, 19, 21, 23, 35, 48.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take control and
do your thing. You’ve got what it takes to dazzle
your peers and superiors. Let your intelligence
and cooperative attitude shine through, and your
desire to advance will come to fruition. ✸✸✸✸✸
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Moneymaking
ventures will pay off if you act fast, but don’t go
over budget. Keep your deals simple and interesting. A career opportunity will lead to good fortune. Use your charm and know-how to promote
a skill you have to offer. ✸✸✸
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on happiness and self-improvement. Expand your interests and make your surroundings conducive to
pursuing your goals. Share personal thoughts
and make plans that will enforce greater incentives. Don’t mix business with pleasure. ✸✸✸
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Networking will
pay off, so don’t sit at home when you should
be mingling. Love is in the stars, and discussing
plans with someone you think is special will help
you build a relationship based on goals you
share. ✸✸✸
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to your plans
and use intelligence when dealing with family or
your lover. Taking in lighthearted entertainment
or engaging in an activity that will challenge you
physically or take you to an unfamiliar destination
will broaden your horizons. ✸✸✸✸✸
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Invest in your skills,
your home and your future. Don’t be too eager
to make a decision or give in to someone else’s
plans. Stay on course and use your experience
to fine-tune your next move. Keep your emotions
well hidden. ✸✸
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Speak from the
heart and listen to the suggestions offered, but
don’t act in haste. You have time to mull over the
information you gather and shouldn’t feel pressured by anyone giving you an ultimatum. A past
experience will prove to be a lifesaver. ✸✸✸✸
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are on the
right track, so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Keep your dreams intact and your vision
clear. Taking a route that is unusual or unorthodox
will end up being in your best interest. ✸✸✸
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You need
a pick-me-up. Renovate, redecorate or take a
day trip that will help lift your spirits. Emotional
matters can sway either way depending on the
company you keep. Make plans to have fun with
someone who makes you smile. ✸✸✸
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will face
opposition concerning matters that deal with
educational, financial, legal or medical institutions. Ask for any promise in writing. A lastminute change must be handled cautiously. Don’t
be afraid to pull out of a deal if it doesn’t feel right.
✸✸✸
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Think before
you act. Someone will try to goad you into doing
something by not giving you enough time to consider the pros and cons. Believe in your abilities
and opt to go it alone if you feel uncomfortable.
✸✸✸✸
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will come in
to money or find a way to raise your income if
you are patient and pay attention to the circumstances. Love is in the stars, and a promise made
will lead to greater happiness. ✸✸
Birthday Baby: You are engaging, intense
and imaginative. You are strong-willed and
unpredictable.
Dear Abby
by Abigail Van Buren
HAUNTED-HOUSE DECOR CAUSES FRIGHT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS
DEAR ABBY: We have a neighbor who
“decorates” his yard for Halloween in the worst
way imaginable. Every year it becomes more
macabre. He has “bodies” hanging from tree
limbs, gravestones with RIP on dirt mounds and
other unbelievable atrocities. He thinks it’s funny.
It is despicable and it scares the children who
must walk past his yard.
When we ask him not to put such deplorable
items in our neighborhood, he doesn’t take it seriously. I’m thinking about taking up a collection
and bribing him not to put his growing, vulgar display up this year. What can we do? -- SPOOKED
IN TOPEKA
DEAR SPOOKED: What you’re describing is
a feature of Halloween that many children enjoy.
However, you can’t “protect” your children forever. When they’re old enough to understand,
explain to them that this is all done in the spirit of
fun, and it’s not real or dangerous.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I were
18, we decided to have each other’s initials tattooed on our ring fingers. His tattoo included the
initial that one day became my last name. It’s
been 10 years and our marriage is still solid and
beautiful.
I have worked hard at a nursing career, but I
feel self-conscious about my tattoo, although I
now wear rings as well. I still like my tattoo, but
I don’t want people judging me because of it.
My husband says I’ll only hurt myself if I remove
something I love having. Do I express my love
the way I wish or succumb to nasty stares from
patients? -- INKED FOR LOVE
DEAR INKED FOR LOVE: I agree with your
husband. You are entitled to express your love
any way you wish. Many professional people
sport tattoos that are far more flamboyant than
the one you have. If you catch a patient staring,
smile and share the story behind it. I think it is
sweet and rather charming.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
DEAR ABBY: I am friends with two women
who dislike each other. Neither one has family, so
I usually invite them over for holiday dinners. Over
the past 10 years they have tolerated each other
and been cordial. But this summer they had a big
row, and the divide is even wider.
I love them both, but how do I now handle
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, knowing
how they feel about each other? Should I extend
the usual invitation and hope for the best? Or
should I not invite either of them to avoid the possible conflict?
I will not take sides. I think both of them are
being petty and childish, but I also don’t know
what to do. My family is quite large, and these
two have always blended in nicely. -- IN THE
MIDDLE
DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: Because you feel that
having them together in the same room would
cause tension for you, my advice is to have them
over on alternate holidays.
