Lawmakers consider
sex trafficking ban
BY CATHY BUSSEWITZ
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HONOLULU — Hawaii
legislators will consider a
bill that would ban sex
trafficking and treat people who are forced into
prostitution as victims
instead of criminals.
Some law enforcement
departments in Hawaii
are against the proposal
because it could change
the way prosecutors catch
pimps, which is often by
coercing an accused prostitute to testify against a
pimp by offering to drop
the charges against the
prostitute.
“It’s a higher burden
of proof, and it’s going
to be more difficult to
work the cases,” said
Capt. Jason Kawabata
of the Honolulu Police
Department in the House
Judiciary Committee on
Friday. Kawabata’s concerns were echoed by
Honolulu’s Prosecuting
Attorney Keith Kaneshiro,
INDEX
who said his department
is already prosecuting
pimps for promoting
prostitution and has gone
after 22 defendants in the
last year.
The debate has split the
state’s top prosecutors,
with those from Kauai
and Hawaii Island supporting the proposal.
“Really what we’re
looking at is a fundamental shift in the way
we approach these cases.
And are we going to have
this be a victim-centered model?” said Justin
Kollar, prosecuting attorney for the County of
Kauai. “Working with a
victim and keeping them
in custody as a hammer
— there’s debate as to how
ethical it is.”
The hope of not being
prosecuted is not the only
motivation for sex trafficking victims to testify against pimps, Kollar
argued. They often also

IN BRIEF
Pastor in co-pilot’s
German hometown
says co-pilot,
family ‘belong to
our community’
MONTABAUR, Germany
— The pastor of the
Lutheran church in Andreas
Lubitz’s hometown said
Sunday that the commu nity stands by him and his
family, despite the fact
that prosecutors blame
the 27-year-old co-pilot for
causing the plane crash
that killed 150 people in
southern France.
The town of Montabaur
has been rattled by the revelation that Lubitz, who first
learned to fly at a nearby
glider club, may have intentionally caused Tuesday’s
crash of Germanwings
Flight 9525.
“For us, it makes it particularly difficult that the only
victim from Montabaur is
suspected to have caused
this tragedy, this crash —
although this has not been
finally confirmed, but a lot
is indicating that — and we
have to face this,” pastor
Michael Dietrich said.
“The co-pilot, the family
belong to our community,
and we stand by this, and
we embrace them and will
not hide this, and want to
support the family in particular,” Dietrich said.

Authorities had been
looking for signs of two
missing men, both believed
to have been inside a

Lucon, who worked at the
restaurant, and 23-year-old
Nicholas Figueroa, a bowl ing alley worker who had
been there on a date.

BEFORE LEAK, NSA MULLED ENDING PHONE PROGRAM
Shiites in
BY KEN DILANIAN
Syria’s Hama
AP INTELLIGENCE WRITER
WASHINGTON
—
The
National Security Agency considered abandoning its secret
program to collect and store
American calling records in the
months before leaker Edward
Snowden revealed the practice,
current and former intelligence
officials say, because some officials believed the costs outweighed the meager counterterrorism benefits.
After the leak and the collective surprise around the world,
NSA leaders strongly defended
the phone records program to
Congress and the public, but
without disclosing the internal
debate.
The proposal to kill the program was circulating among top
managers but had not yet reached
the desk of Gen. Keith Alexander,
then the NSA director, according to current and former intelligence officials who would not
be quoted because the details are
sensitive. Two former senior NSA
officials say they doubt Alexander
would have approved it.
Still, the behind-the-scenes
NSA concerns, which have not
been reported previously, could
be relevant as Congress decides
whether to renew or modify the
phone records collection when the
law authorizing it expires in June.
The internal critics pointed out
that the already high costs of
vacuuming up and storing the
“to and from” information from
nearly every domestic landline
call were rising, the system was
not capturing most cellphone
calls, and program was not central to unraveling terrorist plots,
the officials said. They worried
about public outrage if the program ever was revealed.
After the program was disclosed, civil liberties advocates
attacked it, saying the records
could give a secret intelligence
agency a road map to Americans’
private activities. NSA officials
presented a forceful rebuttal that
helped shaped public opinion.
Responding to widespread criticism, President Barack Obama
in January 2014 proposed that
the NSA stop collecting the
records, but instead request them
when needed in terrorism investigations from telephone companies, which tend to keep them for
18 months.
Yet the president has insisted that legislation is required to
adopt his proposal, and Congress
has not acted. So the NSA continues to collect and store records
of private U.S. phone calls for
use in terrorism investigations
under Section 215 of the Patriot
Act. Many lawmakers want the
program to continue as is.
Alexander argued that the
program was an essential tool
because it allows the FBI and the
NSA to hunt for domestic plots
by searching American calling
records against phone numbers
associated with international
National Security Agency (NSA) campus in Fort Meade, Md.
PATRICK SEMANSKY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
By 2013, some NSA officials
were ready to stop the bulk collection even though they knew they
would lose the ability to search a
database of U.S. calling records.
As always, the FBI still would be
able to obtain the phone records
of suspects through a court order.
There was a precedent for
ending collection cold turkey.
Two years earlier, the NSA cited
similar cost-benefit calculations
when it stopped another secret
program under which it was collecting Americans’ email metadata — information showing who
was communicating with whom,
but not the content of the messages. That decision was made
public via the Snowden leaks.
Alexander believed that the
FBI and the NSA were still getting crucial value out of the phone
records program, in contrast to
the email records program, former NSA officials say.
After the Snowden leaks, independent experts who looked at
the program didn’t agree. A presidential task force examined NSA
surveillance and recommended
ending the phone records collection, saying it posed unacceptable privacy risks while doing little if anything to stop terrorism.
The task force included Michael
Morell, a former deputy CIA
director, and Richard Clarke, a
former White House counter terrorism adviser.
“We cannot discount the risk,
in light of the lessons of our own
history, that at some point in the
future, high-level government
officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily
sensitive private information is
there for the plucking,” the report
said. Times, dates and numbers called can provide a window into a person’s activities and
connections.
A separate inquiry by the
Privacy and Civil Liberties
Oversight Board concluded the
same thing.
David Medine, chairman of
that board, said the concerns
raised internally by NSA officials
were the same as theirs, yet when
NSA officials came before the privacy board, they “put on a pretty
strong defense for the program.
Except their success stories didn’t
pan out,” he said.
terrorists. He and other NSA officials support Obama’s plan to let
the phone companies keep the
data, as long as the government
quickly can search it.
Civil liberties activists say it
was never a good idea to allow
a secret intelligence agency to
store records of Americans’ private phone calls, and some are
not sure the government should
search them in bulk. They say
government can point to only a
single domestic terrorism defendant who was implicated by a
phone records search under the
program, a San Diego taxi driver who was convicted of raising
$15,000 for a Somali terrorist
group.
Some fault NSA for failing to
disclose the internal debate about
the program.
“This is consistent with our
experience with the intelligence
community,” said Rep. Justin
Amash, R-Mich. “Even when
we have classified briefings, it’s
like a game of 20 questions and
we can’t get to the bottom of
anything.”
The proposal to halt phone
records collection that was circulating in 2013 was separate from
a 2009 examination of the program by NSA, sparked by objections from a senior NSA official,
reported in November by The
Associated Press. In that case, a
senior NSA code breaker learned
about the program and concluded it was wrong for the agency to collect and store American
records. The NSA enlisted the
Justice Department in an examination of whether the search
function could be preserved with
the records stores by the phone
companies.
That would not work without a
change in the law, the review concluded. Alexander, who retired in
March 2014, opted to continue
the program as is.
But the internal debate continued, current and former officials
say, and critics within the NSA
pressed their case against the
program. To them, the program
had become an expensive insurance policy with an increasing
number of loopholes, given the
lack of mobile data. They also
knew it would be deeply controversial if made public.
BEIRUT — A new video
released by the Islamic
State group on Sunday
shows its fighters cutting
off the heads of eight men
said to be Shiite Muslims.
The video posted on social
media said the men were
beheaded in the central
Syrian province of Hama.
The video could not be
immediately independent ly verified, but it appeared
genuine and corresponded
to other AP reporting of the
events. The Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights also said that
the video was authentic.
IS has beheaded scores
of people since capturing
large parts of Iraq and Syria
last year in a self-declared
caliphate.
In the video, the men,
wearing orange uniforms
with their hands tied behind
their backs, were led for ward in a field by teenage
boys. They were then handed over to a group of IS
fighters. A boy wearing a
black uniform hands out
knives to the fighters, who
then behead the hostages.
An Islamic State fighter
speaks in the video, using a
derogatory term for Shiites
and calling them “impure
infidels.” The IS fighter said
in the video that the current
military campaign against
IS will only make the militant group stronger.
“Our swords will soon,
God willing, reach the
Nuseiries and their allies
like Bashar and his party,”
the man said referring to
Syrian President Bashar
Assad and Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group that
is fighting on his side. The
word Nuseiry is a derogatory term to refer to Assad’s
Alawite sect, an offshoot of
Shiite Islam.
In Lebanon, the staterun National News Agency
quoted the family of Younes
Hujairi, who was kidnapped
from his hometown of Arsal
near the Syrian border in
January, as saying he had
been beheaded. NNA quoted members of Hujairi’s
family as saying they have
seen pictures of an IS fighter carrying his severed head
on social media.
It was not clear if Hujairi
was one of one of the men
beheaded in the video.
Hujairi is a Sunni, while the
video states that all the
beheaded men were Shiites.
The border town of
Arsal, where Hujairi was
kidnapped, was also the
site of a bold joint raid by
the Islamic State group
and Syria’s al-Qaida-linked
Nusra Front last August
that captured two dozen
Lebanese soldiers and
policemen. Four of those
hostages have been killed
so far, two of them beheaded by IS. The remaining
20 soldiers and policemen
remain hostages.

EDITORIAL | BLOOMBERG NEWS
Fight poverty, not
savings, by fixing
welfare asset rules
S
ome welfare programs exclude
people who have financial assets,
and for good reason. If the goal is
to help people who are living in poverty,
the program shouldn’t waste resources
on people who aren’t actually poor. If you
lose your job but have enough money in
the bank to tide you over comfortably,
you don’t need food stamps, disability
payments or other forms of public support
as much as people with no savings do.
Yet some asset limits are set too low.
By preventing beneficiaries from saving
enough money to become self-sufficient,
the government can make it unnecessarily
hard for them to escape poverty. New data
suggests some limits could well be raised.
In 24 states, people who receive benefits
from the Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (a federal program administered
by the states) can be cut off for having
more than $2,000 in the bank. In Georgia,
Pennsylvania and Texas, accumulating
just $1,001 in savings can get you
thrown off the program. (Social Security
disability payments have similar limits,
and so do food stamps in many states.)
This discourages saving. And it can also
prevent people from improving their lives,
moving into an apartment or building a
cushion against emergencies. It discourages
the very financial habits that people need
to escape and remain out of poverty.
When programs raise their limits, it turns
out, beneficiaries do adjust their behavior
accordingly. After 1996, for example, when
Congress started letting states set their
own asset limits for TANF, those states that
raised or abolished them found that poor
families increased their savings. Easing
restrictive limits on the value of cars that
beneficiaries can own leads to increased
car ownership, a 2012 study found.
All this raises a practical concern
for policymakers: If easing asset limits
helps welfare recipients pull themselves
out of poverty, won’t it also increase
the cost to taxpayers by drawing new
beneficiaries to the program?
New evidence says that concern is
misplaced. The five states that abolished
or significantly raised income limits for
TANF from 2007 to 2011 saw no increase
in the number of beneficiaries, according
to an Appalachian State University
study. Why not? There just aren’t that
many people with high savings but low
income, the researchers found. If that’s
right, then rock-bottom asset limits
guard welfare programs against potential
beneficiaries who mostly don’t exist.
Federal and state policy makers have
been rethinking asset limits across various
programs. Alabama, Louisiana, Ohio and
five other states have abolished asset caps
for TANF. Obamacare ended the asset test
for Medicaid last year. And Congress in
December began allowing Social Security
disability beneficiaries to save up to
$100,000 in specially designated accounts.
If $2,000 is too low, then what’s the right
limit? A ceiling of $10,000 or $20,000
would be high enough to help recipients
out of poverty, but not so high as to direct
benefits to people who don’t really need
them. President Barack Obama’s 2011
budget request called for caps of no less
than $10,000, and of course states are
free to set that level on their own.
The goal of welfare should be to get
people off the program, and into financially
secure lives. Asset limits that prevent even
minimal saving frustrate both goals.
DANA MILBANK | THE WASHINGTON POST
The end of the White House’s insularity?
W
ASHINGTON
— In the early
days of the
Obama administration,
my Washington Post
colleague Shailagh Murray
and I used to trade tales
of the arrogance of White
House officials more
interested in their insular
club and the prestige of
their positions than in the
responsibility they had.
“They think they’re in
the movie of their job,” she
liked to say, and she was
right: They acted as if they
were playing themselves
in “The West Wing.”
So it was with delight
that I learned while
vacationing this week that
Murray had been named
to the very highest level of
officialdom in the White
House. President Obama
appointed her senior
adviser to the president,
filling a position held over
the past decade by Karl
Rove, David Axelrod,
David Plouffe and, most
recently, Dan Pfeiffer.
It’s enjoyable to see
a friend in such an
exalted role, but Murray’s
appointment is more
than that: It gives hope
that Obama is finally
trying to break out of the
insufferable insularity
that has choked progress
in his White House —
and that he is at long
last ready to reach out to
Capitol Hill and to the
media to make his case.
For far too long,
this president has
surrounded himself with
yes men, living in a selfcongratulatory world of
affirmation. It’s late in his
presidency, but it’s not too
late to be administered
a dose of reality.
I met Murray 20 years
ago when she and her
husband Neil King, now
deputy Washington
bureau chief of The Wall
Street Journal, wrote for
the Journal from Prague
and I was a Journal
correspondent in London.
I later helped bring her
to the Post. Along the
way, we hosted a dance

Mahalo for
finding rings
Recently, my husband
took several boxes
and bags, filled with
contributions we no
longer needed, to the
Salvation Army on Kaiwi
Street in Kailua-Kona.
Unfortunately,
we discovered my
wedding band and
two engagement rings;
one, a band with small
diamonds across it
and the other, a large
diamond tiffany setting,
were in one of the boxes.
All were in a small
jewelry size Ziplock bag.
As soon as we realized
what had happened, my
husband went to see if he
could retrieve my rings.
A young man
working in the back
found two of the three
rings and gave them
to my husband; my
wedding band with
the inscription of our
wedding date inside
and the band with the

Murray, 49, is a muchneeded antidote to all this.
She takes risks, she has
Capitol Hill wired (she was
a longtime congressional

recognizes that seeking
new ways to get Obama’s
message out does not
mean shunning journalists.
Her mandate is to use the
next 22 months to cement
Obama’s legacy so that his
policies — Obamacare,
particularly — endure

She’ll also be helping to
end this administration’s
maddening pattern of
having the president give

We want to thank

New speed humps
aren’t as bad
There was a very
emotional meeting of
the Kona Traffic Safety
Committee on March 12.
The main discussion had
to do with the proposed
installation of nine speed
humps (not bumps) on
Nani Kailua Drive. The
controversial decision was
made in accordance with
procedures spelled out in
the County Code. Many
people were concerned
that humps would be
so intrusive that they
would divert speeders
onto Hoene Street or
Aloha Kona Drive.
The committee is
only advisory. It cannot
make decisions.
It appeared, however, that the traffic
department will install
a single speed hump on
the lower block of Nani
Kailua to familiarize
drivers with the modern
sinusoidal speed hump.
This should be barely
noticeable to drivers
who obey the speed
limit, but effective in
deterring speeders.

medics were able to get
the man’s heart beating
before transporting
him in critical condition
to the hospital.
Race officials said
there were no signs
of a drowning.
“He was pulled out of

“We did everything we

serious medical incident
to occur in the 19-year

”It is very unfortunate

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LIHUE, Hawaii —
Kauai had the fewest
applications for firearms
of all state counties in
2014.
But the number of
applications on the
Garden Isle increased
for the fourth straight
year — although county
officials aren’t attributing that increase to a
gun craze, but rather
something that accompanies an uptick in
population.
“The increases are
slight year to year,”
county
spokeswoman Sarah Blane wrote,
noting that among the
population
growth,
the county has experienced an increase in
the number of imported registrations — individuals with registered
firearms who moved
to Kauai — while the
island itself has added
sporting retail options.
“Sports Authority, which
opened May 2014, sells
both handguns and long
guns.”
According to the state
Attorney General’s firearm registration report,
which was released
recently, there were
1,741 applications processed by the Kauai
Police Department last
year. That was slightly
up from the year before,
when there were 1,713
applications in 2013.
Officials
approved
1,563 of the permits, registering 3,807 firearms.
That also outpaced
2013, when 3,651 firearms were registered.
While it was the lowest of all the state counties, Kauai processed 80
percent more applications than officials had
anticipated for the year.
While reasons for
requesting an application aren’t required,
sport seems to be the
main draw.
“It appears that hunting is by far the No. 1
reason,” Blane said, adding that other reasons
provided also include
collecting and personal
protection.
But Jim Rosa, president of Rosa’s Arms
in Kapaa, said he wonders if strict gun laws in
Hawaii are a deterrent
for people who want to
become gun owners. He
said Mainland firearms
dealers label Hawaii
as “a communist state”
when it comes to the
right to carry a gun for
protection.
“What this means is
that only the bad guys
carry guns, with the
exception of a very few
active law enforcement
officers, and that is a
very sad situation for
those of us in Hawaii,”
he said.
Long arms accounted for 28,620, or 59.2
percent of firearms
registered statewide in
2014. Rifles and shotguns comprised 22,548,
or 46.7 percent, and

6,072, or 12.6 percent
of total registrations.
The remaining 19,704,
or 40.8 percent, of firearms registered were
handguns.
After applicants submit the proper documents for a long arm
to the Kauai Police
Department, there is
a 14-day waiting period. KPD will conduct
criminal and mental
health clearance checks.
Multiple long guns can
be registered under one
long gun permit, and
permits are valid for all
long guns purchases for
one year.
The handgun application process is the same
as for a long gun, but the
owner must also complete a Hunter Safety
Course and bring in
proof of completion.

Arab League unveils joint military force amid Yemen crisis
BY HAMZA HENDAWI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHARM EL-SHEIKH,
Egypt — A two-day Arab
summit ended Sunday
with a vow to defeat
Iranian-backed Shiite
rebels in Yemen and the
formal unveiling of plans
to form a joint Arab intervention force, setting the
stage for a potentially
dangerous clash between
U.S.-allied Arab states
and Tehran over influence
in the region.
Arab leaders taking
turns to address the gathering spoke repeatedly of
the threat posed to the
region’s Arab identity by
what they called moves
by “foreign” or “outside
parties” to stoke sectarian, ethnic or religious
rivalries in Arab states —
all thinly-veiled references to Iran, which has in
recent years consolidated its hold in Iraq, Syria,
Lebanon and now Yemen.
The summit’s final communique made similarly
vague references, but the
Arab League chief, Nabil
Elaraby, was unequivocal during a news conference later, singling out
Iran for what he said was
its intervention “in many
nations.”
A summit resolution
said the newly unveiled
joint Arab defense force
would be deployed at
the request of any Arab
nation facing a national
security threat and that
it would also be used to
combat terrorist groups.
The agreement came as
U.S. and other Western
diplomats were pushing
to meet a Tuesday deadline to reach a deal with
Iran that would restrict
its nuclear program in
exchange for the lifting of
economic sanctions.
The Saudis and their
allies in the Gulf fear that
a nuclear deal between
Washington and Tehran
will free Iran’s hands
to bolster its influence
in places like Syria,
Lebanon, Iraq and in
Sunni-ruled
Bahrain,
which has a Shiite majority. They believe the air
campaign in Yemen and
a joint Arab force would
empower them to stand
up to what they see as
Iran’s bullying. The
United States has sought
to offer reassurances that
a nuclear deal does not
mean that Washington
will abandon them, but
they remain skeptical.
The Houthis swept
down from their northern
strongholds last year and
captured Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, in September.

first fled to the southern
city of Aden before fleeing
the country last week as
the rebels closed in.
Speaking at the summit on Saturday, Hadi
accused Iran of being
behind the Houthi offensive, raising the specter
of a regional conflict. Iran
and the Houthis deny
that Tehran arms the
rebel movement, though
both acknowledge the
Islamic Republic is providing humanitarian and
other aid.
On Sunday, the Saudi
ambassador to the U.S.,
Adel al-Jubeir, said the
Lebanese Hezbollah militia was also supporting
the Houthis. The Saudiled campaign, he said on
NBC’s “Meet the Press,”
is to protect Yemen’s
“legitimate government
from a group that is allied
and supported by Iran
and Hezbollah.”
A Saudi-led coalition
began bombing Yemen on
Thursday, saying it was
targeting the Houthis
and their allies, which
include forces loyal to
Yemen’s former leader, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Yemeni military officials
have said the campaign
could pave the way for
a possible ground invasion, a development that
Egyptian military officials
say would likely commence after the airstrikes
significantly diminish
the military capabilities
of the Houthis and their
allies.
Yemen’s foreign minister, Riad Yassin, said
the air campaign, codenamed
Operation
Decisive Storm, had prevented the rebels from
using the weaponry they
seized to attack Yemeni
cities or to target neighboring Saudi Arabia with
missiles. It also stopped
Iran’s supply line to the
rebels, he told a news
conference Sunday.
Military experts will
decide when and if a
ground operation is needed, Yassin said. “This is a
comprehensive operation
and (any ground offensive) will depend on the
calculations of the military,” he said.
Iran has condemned
the airstrikes against its
Yemeni allies but so far
has not responded with
military action, though
diplomatic and military
officials said Iranian
retaliation could not be
ruled out.
Iraq, whose Shiite government is closely allied
with non-Arab and Shiite
Iran, has said more time
is needed to discuss the
proposed force.
Now in its fourth day,
the Saudi-led air campaign has pushed Houthi
rebels out of contested
air bases, Saudi Brig.
Gen. Ahmed bin Hasan
Asiri told reporters.
Airstrikes hit Houthi targets throughout Sunday,
including air defenses,
ammunition depots, and
heavy weapons and vehicles the rebels had taken
from government forces.
“The coalition operations in the coming days
will increase pressure on
the Houthi militias by
targeting them. Whether
it’s individual or group
movement, there will no
longer be any safe place
in Yemen for the Houthi
militias,” he told a news
conference in Riyadh.
On Saturday, he said
the strikes had targeted
Scud missiles in Yemen,
leaving most of their
launching pads “devastated,” though he warned
that the rebels could have
more missiles.
Meanwhile, Pakistan
dispatched
a
plane
Sunday to the Yemeni
city of Hodeida, to try to
evacuate some 500 citizens gathered there, said
Shujaat Azim, an adviser
to Pakistan’s prime minister. Azim told staterun Pakistan Television
more flights would follow as those controlling
Yemen’s airports allowed
them. Pakistan says some
3,000 of its citizens live
in Yemen.
Indian Foreign Minister
Sushma Swaraj also tweeted Sunday: “We are doing
everything to evacuate our
people from Yemen at the
earliest by all routes —
land, sea and air.”

Iran nuke talks solving some issues, not others
BY GEORGE JAHN
AND MATTHEW LEE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LAUSANNE, Switzerland —
Iran is considering demands
for further cuts to its uranium enrichment program but
is pushing back on how long
it must limit technology it
could use to make atomic arms,
Western officials involved in
the nuclear talks said Sunday.
Iran’s potential movement
on enrichment reflected the
intense pressure to close a deal.
But substantial differences
between the sides may prove
too difficult to bridge before
Tuesday’s deadline for a preliminary agreement, which is
meant to set the stage for a
further round of negotiations
toward a comprehensive deal
in June.
The goal is a long-term curb
on Iran’s nuclear activities.
In return, Tehran would gain
relief from the burden of global
economic penalties.
Foreign ministers and other
representatives of Iran and the
six powers in the talks have said
there is a chance of succeeding
by the deadline despite significant obstacles.
White House spokesman
Josh Earnest said it was up to
Iran to make that happen.
By accepting the restrictions,
the Iranians would “live up
to their rhetoric that they are
not trying to acquire a nuclear
weapon,” he said in Washington
on ABC’s “This Week.”
The officials in Lausanne
said the sides were advancing
on limits to aspects of Iran’s
uranium enrichment program,
which can be used to make the
core of a nuclear warhead.
Tehran is ready to ship to
Russia all the enriched uranium it produces, the officials
said, describing a change from
previous demands that Iran
be permitted to keep a small
amount in stock.

Minister Javad Zarif, 2nd right, walk together during negotiations at an hotel in Lausanne,
Switzerland, Sunday. BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
One official cautioned that
Iran previously had agreed to
this, only to change its mind.
Also, Iran’s official IRNA news
agency on Sunday cited an
unidentified Iranian negotiator
as denying such an agreement
had been reached.
Uranium enrichment has
been the chief concern in over
more than a decade of international attempts to cap Iran’s
nuclear programs.
Over the past weeks, Iran has
moved from demanding that
it be allowed to keep nearly
10,000 centrifuges enriching
uranium, to agreeing to 6,000.
The officials, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to
publicly discuss the talks, said
Tehran now may be ready to
accept even fewer.
Tehran says it wants to enrich
only for energy, science, industry and medicine. But many
countries fear Iran could use
the technology to make weapons-grade uranium.
From Israel, Prime Minister
Benjamin
Netanyahu
renewed strong criticism of
what he brands a bad deal.
He is at the forefront of accusations that Iran helped the
recent Shiite rebel advance in
Yemen, and Netanyahu linked
Iran’s alleged proxy grab for
influence in the Middle East
with what he sees as victory
by Tehran at the negotiations
in the Swiss city of Lausanne.
“The
Iran-LausanneYemen axis is very dangerous for humanity and must be
stopped,” he said.
U.S.
Senate
Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell,
heading a delegation of
American senators visiting Israel, said the lawmakers supported legislation to require Congress to
approve any agreement on
Iran’s nuclear program, or
to increase penalties against
Iran if no deal is reached.
The United States and its
allies want a deal that extends
the time Iran would need to
make a nuclear weapon from
the present two months to
three months to at least a year.
The officials said a main
dispute involves the length
of an agreement. Iran, they
said, wants a total lifting of
all caps on its activities after
10 years, while the U.S. and
others at the talks — Russia,
China, Britain, France and
Germany — insist on progressive removal after a decade.
A senior U.S. official characterized the issue as lack of
agreement on what happens
in years 11 to 15. The official spoke on condition of
anonymity in line with State
Department rules on briefing
about the closed-door talks.
Limits on Iran’s research and
development of centrifuges
also were unresolved, the
Western officials said.
Tehran has created a prototype centrifuge that it says
enriches uranium 16 times
faster than its present mainstay model. The U.S. and its
partners want to constrain
research that would increase
greatly the speed of making
enough weapons-grade uranium for a bomb, once limits on
Iran’s programs are lifted.
One official said Russia
opposed the U.S. position that
any U.N. penalties lifted in
the course of a deal should be
reimposed quickly if Tehran
reneged on any commitments.
Both Western officials say
Iran was resisting attempts to
make inspections and other
ways of verification as intrusive as possible.
There was tentative agreement on turning a nearly-finished reactor into a model that
gives off less plutonium waste
than originally envisaged.
Plutonium, like enriched uranium, is a path to nuclear
weapons.
Iran and the U.S. were discussing letting Iran run centrifuges at an underground
bunker that has been used to
enrich uranium. The machines
would produce isotopes for
peaceful applications, the officials said.
With the Tuesday deadline
approaching and problems
remaining, U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry canceled
plans Sunday to return to the
United States for an event
honoring the late U.S. Sen.
Edward Kennedy. French
Foreign Minister Laurent
Fabius and Frank-Walter
Steinmeier, his German counterpart, scratched planned
trips to Kazakhstan.
Kerry has been in discussions with Iranian Foreign
Minister Mohammad Javad
Zarif since Thursday.
Northeast, despite highest gas costs, resists more pipelines
BY RIK STEVENS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CONCORD, N.H. —
There is near universal agreement that the
Northeast has to expand
its energy supply to rein
in the nation’s highest
costs and that cheap,
abundant,
relatively
clean natural gas could
be at least a short-term
answer. But heels dig
deep when it comes to
those thorniest of questions: how and where?
Proposals to build or
expand natural gas pipelines are met with an
upswell of citizen discontent. At the end of last
year, a Massachusetts
route selected by Texasbased Kinder Morgan
generated so much
venom that the company
nudged it north into New
Hampshire — where the
venom is also flowing
freely. During this winter’s town meetings, a
centuries-old staple of
local governance in New
England, people in the
nine towns touched by
the route voted to oppose
the project.
That Northeast Direct
line is one of about 20
pipeline projects being
proposed throughout
the Northeast, where
savvy
environmental and political forces
combine with population density to provide
a formidable bulwark.
There’s another reason
the loudest protests are
all coming from the
region: They’re where
the gas is, waiting just
east of the gas-rich
Marcellus Shale region.
“Everyone seems to
know the Northeast
has a pipeline capacity
problem, but not many
seem to be willing to
make many concessions
to fix that problem,” said
Andrew Pusateri, senior
Homer Shannon poses at his home in Windham, N.H. The retired high-tech salesman is part of a
10-family group of neighbors opposed to a planned natural gas pipeline the would run right by his
property behind him. JIM COLE/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
utilities analyst for
Edward Jones.
And these are folks
who pay a lot to stay
warm in the winter and
keep the lights on in summer. According to the
U.S. Energy Information
Administration,
New
Englanders paid $14.52
per thousand cubic feet
of gas in 2014, compared
to $10.94 for the rest
of the nation. ISO-New
England, which operates
the region’s power grid,
said in its 2015 Regional
Electricity Outlook that
natural gas availability is
“one of the most serious
challenges” the region
faces as more coal and
oil units go offline.
The Kinder Morgan
plan
would
take
gas from the plentiful Marcellus Shale
region of Pennsylvania
and pump it through
a 36-inch line from
Wright, New York, to
Dracut, Massachusetts.
Along the way, it would
cut across a 70-mile
stretch of southern New
Hampshire,
tickling
the Massachusetts line.
About 90 percent of the
project would be along
an existing power line
corridor.
Homer Shannon and
his wife raised three children on their suburban
plot in Windham, New
Hampshire, where the
pipeline would pass a
few hundred feet from
their house. The retired
high-tech salesman is
part of a 10-family group
of neighbors opposed to
the pipeline’s route.
“This whole Northeast
Direct thing is just
fraught with question
marks,” Shannon said.
“Why in the hell is it in
New Hampshire anyway? They want to get
it from New York to
Massachusetts and if you
draw that line on a map,
it sure doesn’t go through
New Hampshire.”
Opponents — on the
route and far from it —
worry about environmental and scenic harm,
lower property values,
the potential for accidents and the idea that
relying on natural gas
only forestalls a switch to
more renewable sources
like wind or solar.
“It would be really nice
if, as a region, we had
a coherent energy policy that stated, ‘These are
the things we need to
do to improve our energy situation,’” Shannon
said. “And if one of those
things is I have to sacrifice part of my backyard
for the greater good, I’d
be willing to have that
discussion. But I don’t
see it that way. I see it
as them enriching themselves on my back and I
don’t like that.”
In New York and
Pennsylvania, the 124mile
Constitution
Pipeline has also fanned
flames of opposition,
some of it pegged to the
price the gas company is
paying to take land. Of
651 landowners in New
York and Pennsylvania
affected by the $700
million pipeline project, 125 refused to sign
right of way agreements.
Condemnation
proceedings undertaken by
Constitution have largely
resolved the remaining
disputes, either through
settlements or access
granted by a judge.
Donald Santa, president and CEO of the
Interstate Natural Gas
Association of America,
said it follows that the
most complaints would
come from the Northeast
because that’s where
most of the pipeline
activity is happening,
largely because of the
boom enabled by the
Marcellus Shale.
“Having so much of
this gas literally on the
doorstep of the market
has really increased the
need to get the gas to consumers,” Santa said.
Richard Wheatley, a
spokesman for Kinder
Morgan, said the company’s pipeline is not the
only one getting pushback. He declined to
address the opposition
specifically but said the
company continues to
reach out to landowners
and others as the siting
process moves along.
The company expects
to file a certificate with
the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission
this year.
Pusateri, the Edward
Jones analyst, said part of
the resistance may also be
inflamed because of how
the gas gets out of the
ground. The Marcellus
Shale gas is extracted
using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The process, which blasts chemical-laden water into wells
to crack open rock, has
drawn heavy criticism. In
New York, much of the
antipathy toward pipelines was driven by the
anti-fracking sentiment
that resulted in Gov.
Andrew Cuomo’s ban on
shale gas development in
New York.
“All major projects have
some opposition, but I
would say this pipe has
garnered more attention
and protests and gained
more steam than average,” he said. “I think
Kinder has done what
they can to move the
right of way of the pipe as
much off of people’s property as possible. They can
do this by utilizing utility easements at times. I
don’t know that opposition really softens.”

KONA FISHING
CHRONICLES
BLAZING TO VICTORY
Fight in
the fish
T
hey say it about
dogs, but it seems
to be just as true
of gamefish. “It’s not
the size of the fish in
the fight, it is the size of
the fight in the fish.”
Last week’s two biggest
blue marlin catches tell
the tale. The charterboat
Lepika boated a 755pound blue, which took
four-and-a-half hours
from the strike to the
boat. Ihu Nui, on the
other hand, boated a 730pound blue in 40 minutes.
Some of the difference
can be explained by tactics, of course, but not
tackle. Both fish were
hooked on 130-pound
gear and both skippers
are very experienced in
fighting big fish. The
angler’s skill and prowess
are always factors, though
not in obvious ways for
these two catches. But
I’ll just tell the story of
each and you make your
own judgement of how
the pieces go together.
The Lepika gang caught
their 755-pound blue
on Friday morning soon
after heading out from
Honokohau Harbor. As
always, Capt. Russ Nitta
was at the helm. Tom
Grabowski, a visitor from
Alberta, Canada, was the
angler. Tom fishes with
Russ for several days every
year on his regular visits
to Kona so he came to this
fight after a lot of preliminary bouts with offshore
gamefish. Tom had boated
a 450-pound marlin last
year and a half-dozen
ahi on this trip to Kona.
Tom got one final
test before the main
event. Shortly after leaving the harbor, a small
blue marlin hit and
gave Tom and Russ a
quick practice session
before they released it.
By the time they got
everything sorted out and
the lures back in position,
it was a little after 7 a.m.
and they were crossing
the 1,000-fathom line just
offshore from the harbor.
The big marlin grabbed
a Koya 614 lure and took
off on a long submarine
run. The fish had already
pulled over 400 yards of
line off the reel when they
saw it jump for the first
time a quarter mile in the
distance. At that distance,
even an experienced captain might have a hard
time judging the size of
the fish. Russ guessed it
at about 450 pounds and
felt he had a comfortable
amount of time to get
the extra lines in and get
started backing down
on the fish to close the
distance between them.
Even so, you can only
back down on a fish as fast
as the angler can keep up.
This fish continued to race
away on a determined
line for the horizon, which
would be a challenge for

WAIKOLOA — Tim Marr
has earned the reputation of
being one of the hardest working people in triathlon, but
even the savvy veteran knows
one thing for certain.
“There is no faking it in triathlon,” said Marr after crossing the finish line at Lavaman
Waikoloa in fourth place on
Sunday.
The three-time and defending Lavaman champion could
not make up for more than a
half-year hiatus from the sport,
settling with a fourth place
finish.
Ben Williams took advantage
of Marr’s absence at the front of
the pack, blazing through the
Olympic Distance (1.5K swim,
40K Bike and 10K run) course
in 1 hour 54 minutes and 47
seconds for his first Lavaman
Waikoloa title.
“This is the most fun race
in the world, and it lived up
to that standard again today,”

WAIKOLOA — Bree Wee
wore bib No. 1 at Lavaman
Waikoloa on Sunday, and by
the end of the day, her No. 1’s at
the event added up to six.
The Kona based professional triathlete dominated the
1.5K swim, 40K Bike and 10K
run with a time of 2 hours 7
minutes and 46 second to add
a sixth Lavaman title to her
resume.
Wee’s time was more than
three minutes off the pace of
her runner-up finish of 2014,
but managed to separate herself from the competition early
with a stellar 19:52 swim —
good for fifth overall on the
day and first among female
compeitors. It also helped her
bike (1:04:11) and run (42:09)
times were also tops in her
division.
Wee came into the race
fresh off a top 10 finish at

WAIKOLOA — It wasn’t a
baseball diamond, football field
or even tennis course where the
Waveriders and Wildcats were
squaring off on Sunday.
That rivalry reserved itself
for the Lavaman Waikoloa
course, as 31 athletes from the
two schools competed in the
Olympic Distance event.
The Waveriders — who have
a few years of experience on
the first-year Wildcat club —
entered 21 athletes into the
event, including relay teams.
Konawaena accounted for 10.

Peaman Biathlon sensation and Konawaena student

“It’s really nice to have the

Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi
earned the “Iron-Mayor” moniker
after his legendary finish at the
IRONMAN World Championship
in October, crossing the finish line
just before midnight and providing
one of the top moments in the history of the event.
But Kenoi isn’t opposed to an
additional nickname, even offering
up “Lava-mayor” after completing
his fourth Lavaman Waikoloa triathlon on Sunday.
While a little less catchy, the name
would be appropriate, considering
Kenoi rarely lets anything slow him
down.
“About a month ago I wasn’t going
to do the race because I pulled my
calf, but I felt I had to do it,” Kenoi
said. “It’s fun to make people smile
and feel inspired. Everybody wants
to beat the mayor. Thankfully we
have great people putting on these
great events here on the island. I
love being a part of it, and most of
all I’m proud that it happens on our
island.”

any angler. Tom and
Russ were making a little
headway when the fish
did the one thing anglers
dread most. It dove down
into the depths where the
boat could not follow.
So now the only way
Russ could help with the
boat was to go through
the many-step process
of planing the fish to the
surface by bumbing the
shift gear into forward
for a few seconds to pull
the line at an angle to
raise it a few then reverse
for a few seconds so the
angler can regain the
line before the fish could
sink again. Repeat for as
many hours as it takes
to get the fish up to the
boat. In this case, the fish
didn’t reach the end of its
journey until after 11:30
a.m. and arrived dead.
Tom, who stayed with
the fish the entire time,
felt half-dead himself.
Russ and Tom could
not get the 755-pound
fish aboard the boat by
themselves, but several
commercial tuna fishing
friends came over to help.
On Ihu Nui, Capt.
McGrew Rice had the
benefit of the very experienced deckhand, Carlton
Arai. Their angler,
Whitney Thomas, is a
boat owner from Texas
with a lot of fish under
her belt but no blue marlin. Catching a blue was
on her bucket list. She
crossed that one off at
around noon on Tuesday.
McGrew was driving
Ihu Nui through a flotilla of boats on the top
corner of “The Grounds”
in hopes of hooking
some of the striped marlin that were actively
feeding there. The slow
south current had made
the “back side” of The
Grounds attractive to
fish and anglers alike.
Several boats nearby
were fighting fish when
Whitney hit the jackpot.
The marlin hit a black
Softhead lure and the
McGrew/Carlton team
immediately went into
action. Whitney got into
the chair with the rod
and started cranking as
Carlton began pulling
in the extra lines before
any of the nearby striped
marlin and mahimahi
could latch on and complicate matters. As soon
as Carlton cleared an
aisle to chase the fish,
McGrew started backing
down to follow the line.
In the process, he also
turned on his Go Pro
cameras to record the
action, which means you
can see some of the fight
on his Facebook page.
The aggressive battle
plan ended the fight
before the fish could
dive and put the fight
out of reach. The fish
made all of the mistakes.
One mistake either way
could have reversed the
length of the two battles.
DELAYED
STRIPED MARLIN
RUN ARRIVES
The long-delayed
January striped marlin
run arrived last week
over two months late.
“And it lasted about
two days,” Capt. Al
Gustavson said, wryly.
While they were here,
the onslaught of “stripes”
hit in packs with some
boats hooking as many as
five at once. In one such
flurry, the charterboat
Hooked Up caught the
biggest striped marlin
of the year to date.
Rocky Guaron was
at the helm of Hooked
Up when the 141.5pound stripe grabbed a
Joe Yee Superplunger.
Unaware of the size of
the fish, Rocky kept
the boat running in
hopes of having more
fish hit, and the gamble
paid off with several
other bites. The “extra”
fish shook free leaving
Rocky and his anglers
with the 141.5-pounder
and a 65-pounder.
Striped marlin can
be surprisingly difficult
to hook, even when you
think you have them
all figured out. The day
before Ihu Nui hooked
its 730-pound blue,
McGrew was cruising the
backside of The Grounds
when he saw a mass of
marks on his fishfinder.
Down at 40 fathoms, the
electronic echoes looked
like they were coming
from a bait school. They
came up when he trolled
over them and the boat
was hit on all five lines
at once. One shook free
and his anglers pulled in
four — all released alive.
After he got his gear
squared away and back
out, he went over the
same bunch of fish and
managed to hook only
one. The next day he
found the school again
and all five lines got hit
again. This time, all five
shook free. On his next
pass, he loaded up all five
lines again and landed
only one. Meanwhile,
the charterboat Anxious
also had five on at
once and lost all five.
The first day he found
the striped marlin,
McGrew and his party
caught a blue, five striped
marlin, one spearfish
and two mahimahi.
The striped marlin
with the loose lips have
all been 60- to 90-pounders and have mouths
big enough to inhale
even the biggest lures.
McGrew says the
striped marlin have been
eating aweoweo, a deepwater bottom fish, which
have been hovering in
big schools much further
above the bottom than
usual. He says the gamefish have been chasing
them to the surface where
they are getting the attention of mahimahi and
other hungry predators.
The aweoweo are red and
silver and about the size
of the palm of your hand.
By contrast, Russ Nitta
has been fishing for tuna
in schools further offshore and finding different food in their bellies.
Insteady of picking on
the aweoweo schools, his
tuna have been packing
up with skinny silver fish
of a type he can’t identify.
Time to look into the
unusual types of prey
the changing weather
conditions are bringing
us. I’m always looking
for pics of the stomach
contents of all kinds of
fish being caught these
days. Always interesting
and always informative.
NEW RAINBOW RUNNER
LEAD FOR KAYAKER
Kayaker Devin
Hallingstad seems to
specialize in hauling
surprises aboard his
slender craft. Some are
big, like the 75- and
61-pound sailfish, the
20-pound rainbow runner, the 45-pound ono
and the 65-pound ahi
he caught a week ago.
That’s good fishing for
any size boat, let alone a
kayak. At my urging, he
had the rainbow runner
weighed on the market
scale at Bite Me to get
an official weight. His
20-pounder now tops our
Big-Fish List for kamanu. How do kayakers do
this? Live bait, stealthy
paddling, and muscle.

WILLIAMS: Glad to be pushed by tough field
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Williams said. “The course is beautiful
and the atmosphere and volunteers are
really the best.”
Williams finished more than three
minutes ahead of second place finisher
Chris Gregory of Hilo, who was the only
other finisher to come in under the two
hour mark at 1:58:15. Alaska athlete
Daniel Folmar (2:01:04) rounded out
the top finisher podium.
Despite a fourth place finish, Marr
came away from the race in good spirits.
“I knew I wasn’t coming here racing
at my top level, but I didn’t want to miss
it,” Marr said. “I hadn’t done a triathlon
in about seven months, but that is no
excuse. All the other guys did phenomenal. I couldn’t hang today but still had
a lot of fun.”
Williams came up on the final sandy
stretch at Anaehoomalu Beach with no
other competitor in sight, and left no
doubt with a 34:42 run to wrap up the

and those who came
in early made sure to
hang around at the
finish line to bring in
their teammates.
“We are like a family. We do a lot of
stuff together,” said
Kealakehe triathlete
Mitchell Dixon, who
finished the course in
2:40:16. “It’s a really
great club. Other than
triathlon, we try to do a
lot of stuff to give back
to the community.”
Waverider Tri Club
advisor Kristin Old
and Konawaena advisor David Wild were
also competing in the
event to provide some
in-game tips for their
pupils.
“It’s great to see
them all out on the
course with me,” Old
said. ”That’s what
really keeps me going.
I see them pass me
and I’m cheering for
them to accomplish
this huge goal. That’s
what I like most about
it — seeing them
willing to work hard
to accomplish their
goals. It’s not just the
sport, but the sheer
amount of determination and focus they
display.”

Rani Henderson crosses the Lavaman Triathlon
finish line for team Fair Wind Cruises on
Sunday. Henderson and her team took first in
the relay race. RICK WINTERS/WEST HAWAII TODAY
WEE: Fatigue no problem for Kona pro
day.
“There were a couple little turnarounds
where I could see where everyone was at,
and I knew if I kept up a certain pace I
was going to be able to hold onto that
gap,” Williams said. “There is a difficult
section of the run towards the end that
you have to go slow. It’s nice to be able
to bring your heart rate down because at
that point your legs are just dying.”
Williams and Marr both train on Oahu,
and the newest member of the exclusive
Lavaman winner’s club expressed his
admiration for his fellow competitor.
“It means a lot to be racing with Tim,”
said Williams. “I moved to Hawaii in
2009 and he has always been the standard to try to reach and be close to. I
was glad to have him out here pushing
me today.”
Other male age group winners from
the Big Island included: David Wild
(Ages 20-29, overall time 2:06:04);
Helgi Olafson (30-34, 2:16:43); Ben

Australia last week. There she raced
against the likes of reigning IRONMAN
World champion Mirinda Carfrae and
two-time IRONMAN 70.3 champ
Melissa Hauschildt.
But even with minimal recovery time,
Wee couldn’t stay away from Waikoloa.
“I didn’t have any hesitation about
racing here, but my coach did. He tried
to talk me out of it to recover from
Ironman, but I convinced him I could
do it,” Wee said with a laugh. “I had to go
hard on the bike because I knew my run
legs might not be there after last week.
At the halfway point of the run I saw I
had a little gap on the next girl so I tried
to chill out a little bit. I was in a whole
world of pain.”
Kathy Winkler of Mill Valley,
California finished as the second overall
female, coming in at 2:15:07. Honolulu’s
Mariane Uehara took the No. 3 spot,
using a strong run to finish at 2:19:14.
Lavaman is always a homecoming for
Wee, not just because it’s on her home
soil of the Big Island, but also because
it’s where her dream of being a professional triathlete started to take shape.
“This is where my triathlon career
really started,” Wee said. “(Race director
Gerry Rott) has always put on an elite
start, and one year she let me race in
that wave even though I didn’t have my
pro card yet. I had a pretty good race so I
knew it was a potential career path that
could open up for me. It eventually did,
so I have a lot gratitude for her putting
on this race because it gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my triathlon
dream.
Other female age group winners from
the Big Island included: Olga Brocks
(ages 1-19, overall time 2:54:42);
Winona Chen (25-29. 2:26:29); Sylvia
Ravaglia (35-39, 2:25:03); Karlyn Pipes
(50-54, 2:26:59); Jeni Winegarner (5559, 2:25:08); and Windy Minor (70-74,
3:19:30).
MAYOR: Kenoi urges youth to pursue dreams
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
Island mayor to conquer
the IRONMAN World
Championship course, but
took some time off training
after a whirlwind year filled
with all kinds of challenges.
“It was really tough to
train last year with everything going on,” Kenoi said.
“Once IRONMAN was over
I took a rest for a while.
Then I realized all the triathlons were coming around
again.”
Kenoi finished in 3 hours
32 minutes and 49 second
on Sunday, well off his personal best time of 3:08:20
at the event a year ago.
While balancing high-level triathlon training and
mayoral duties may be a
thing of the past — for now
— what has remained is the
epic tale of his IRONMAN
finish, which he routinely
weaves into his speeches
to Hawaii Island youth to
inspire the keiki to actively
pursue their dreams.
“I took 16 hours and
54 minutes to finish
IRONMAN and along the
way I had about 1,654 times
where I wanted to give up or
thought I could not go on,”
Kenoi said. “But I thought
about going back to the kids
and telling them I never
gave up. I couldn’t look at
them and know I gave up.
Just as much as I use triathlons to inspire kids, the
kids help me to finish these
triathlons.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX | ADVICE
Boy rejects his best friend after deciding he is gay
Dear Annie: I am a
13-year-old boy, and I’m
too embarrassed to talk
to my parents about this.
I have been best friends
with “Danny” since the
first grade. We are like
brothers. A few weeks
ago, Danny and I were
at my house, and he said
he had something to tell
me but was afraid of my
reaction. I finally got him
to confess that he thinks
he is gay and in love with
me. I was shocked. He
said he wanted to kiss
me to see what it was
like. I didn’t want to,
but agreed to try. We sat
on my bed and kissed
for about a minute. I
wasn’t grossed out by it,
but it seemed weird and
uncomfortable. When I
told him that, he bolted.
The next day at school,
I tried to talk to him,
but he wouldn’t even
look at me. After a few
days of this, he finally
came by my house. We
talked about what happened, and I told him it
doesn’t matter that he’s
gay, because he is still
my best friend. But he
said if I can’t be his boyfriend, he doesn’t want
to be friends anymore.
He said it would hurt
too much. I told him
I can’t change the fact
that I’m straight. He said
he hates me and left.
I don’t know what I
did wrong. Danny won’t
even speak to me. I finally worked up the nerve
to tell my older brother,
who said it’s just like
when you get dumped
by a girl — you don’t
really want to be friends
with her afterward.
I can’t accept losing
my best friend over
this. What can I do
to get him back? —
Confused Best Friend
Dear Confused: Your
brother is probably right
that Danny is too hurt to
be around you right now.
He also may be embarrassed by his admission
that he loves you. That
made him vulnerable,
and he has retreated to
protect himself. He also
may not know how to
behave around you, no
matter how accepting you
are. He, too, is confused.
We suggest you give
Danny some space. He
needs time to process the
rejection and then decide
whether he can still be
your friend. Continue
to act as normally as
possible around him.
We hope he eventually
can find his way back,
but please understand
that not all friendships go the distance.
Dear Annie: Would
you please do everyone
a favor by reminding

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Question what you are being told.

sensitive, outgoing and popular. You are self-sufficient and
sympathetic.

them to keep to the
right side on sidewalks,
concourses, escalators,
etc.? It would improve
our ability to go from
one place to another.
Walking in airports or
at sporting events can be
very difficult. You have to
buck the traffic coming
toward you. — R.M. in PA
Dear R.M.: You
make an excellent point.
When driving, we keep
to the right. If we did
the same when walking
busy streets, concourses
and stadiums, etc., we
could prevent a lot of
pedestrian accidents.
And one more thing:
Please don’t hog the
sidewalk by walking with
six of your friends sideby-side. It’s annoying.
