Advertiser Staff
A Windward legislative forum for candidates representing Senate District 23 (Kane'ohe-Kahuku) and House districts 47 (Ha'iku, Kahalu'u), 48 (Kane'ohe), 49 (Maunawili, Enchanted Lake, Kane'ohe) and 50 (Kailua-Mokapu) will take place at 7 p.m. Sept. 14 at Windward Community College 'Akoakoa Building, Room 105.
The Honolulu Police Department reported an incident in which two males, aged 16 and 19, were shot at Honolulu Community College at around 10:30 Friday night.
Details were sketchy, but police said a fight between two groups broke out in the HCC parking lot. Three males from each group were involved when another member of one group pulled a pistol and shot two people.
At that moment everyone in the parking lot scattered, police said. The two wounded males were later taken to The Queen's Medical Center where they were treated. There was no word on the condition of the victims or whether they were released.
Police said the gunman, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, was still at large.
The state Department of Transportation will hold an informational meeting on an airport master plan and noise compatibility program at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Honolulu International Airport Conference Center, seventh floor of the interisland terminal building.
The purpose of the meeting is to brief the public on the progress of the master plan and noise compatibility program and to solicit comments and concerns about the projects.
Nine student photographers from the University of Hawai'i-Manoa Photography Program will have their work exhibited through Sept. 30 at the Galleries on the first floor of Hamilton Library on the Manoa campus.
Randall Hensley, head of the Hamilton Library Public Services Division, said "world-class" exhibits are featured in the library throughout the year, and the library is pleased to be able to showcase "such fine student work."
Student artists include Alicia Ajolo, Christopher Aradanas, Yuzuko Fukunaga, Jill Higa, Jihea Hwang, Jessica Oshita, Nina Pullella, Lianne Rozzelle and Ross Togashi.
Visitors can see the exhibit during library hours: Monday to Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 11 p.m.
Workers removing tenting from a chemically treated house in Kahala yesterday uncovered a burglar using a gas mask.
The man fled as the tenting was removed from the house in the 4500 block of Kahala Ave. at about 9:30 a.m., but police found him a few blocks away and arrested him.
They found a backpack stuffed with silverware and a gas mask he dropped as he fled.
The Honolulu police version of a SWAT team reported to the area when sounds inside the house raised concerns that another burglar — possibly armed — was still inside.
Streets surrounding the house were closed during the late morning and early afternoon and neighbors were evacuated.
No accomplice was found inside the house.
A water main break in Hale'iwa stopped traffic in both directions on Kamehameha Highway yesterday and caused service disruptions to customers.
The 15-inch-main break was reported after 4 p.m. at 62-540 Kamehameha Highway.
Water crews worked for several hours just to bring the water break under control, then into the night to repair the 15-inch main. A spokeswoman said water flow was being rerouted and repairs will go well into today. The Board of Water Supply asks that customers from Kawela to Hale'iwa, including Sunset Beach and Pupukea use water for essential purposes only, that people do not wash their cars or do laundry until the repairs are finished.
Police closed Kamehameha Highway in both directions between the Joseph P. Leong bypass and Jamison's By The Sea in Hale'iwa while crews worked.
An 18-year-old Big Island man has been charged with manslaughter and a number of other crimes in a head-on collision Aug. 19 that killed two people.
Stanley Keliiholokai of Volcano was being held in the Hilo police cellblock in lieu of $30,500 bail.
Police said Keliiholokai was driving a Mitsubishi sedan toward Hilo on Volcano Highway when he attempted to pass several vehicles in a no-passing zone near Nahelenani Street in Volcano.
His car collided head-on with a Chevrolet sedan driven by Rogelio Manahan.
Keliiholokai's front-seat passenger, Clinton Kaleiwahea, 31, of Volcano, and Manahan's wife and front-seat passenger, Jeannette E. Manahan, 53, of Elmhurst, New York, were killed in the crash.
