HAWAI'I BRIEFS
Police looking for motorcyclist
Advertiser Staff
Police are asking for the public's help in identifying the motorcyclist who collided with another motorcycle while changing lanes about 10 p.m. Tuesday in the west-bound lanes of the H-1 Freeway near the Makakilo off-ramp.
One of the riders, a 20-year-old Honolulu man, was critically injured and was taken to The Queen's Medical Center for treatment.
The other motorcyclist left the area and is being sought by police.
Anyone with information is asked to call police traffic investigators at 529-3499.
Police arrested a 39-year-old man Tuesday in connection with a Friday night incident in which he allegedly terrorized his former girlfriend for about five hours.
The woman, 41, told police the man showed up in the parking lot of her home in Kalihi about 11 p.m. and forced her into his car. She said he drove her around for several hours and terrorized her, resulting in minor injuries, before releasing her about 4 o'clock the following morning.
The man turned himself in Tuesday at the Pearl City police station and was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping and abuse of a family or household member.
Marine Corps Base Hawai'i will open its main gate to the public today to share in observing the National Day of Prayer 2005.
The H-3 main gate will open to the public at 4 p.m. for the event, which will be from 4:30 to 5:30 at the Pacific War Memorial, just inside the gate.
The event is being held to promote spiritual well-being, fitness and a healthy environment of expression for military personnel, families and civilians who work and live at Marine Corps Base Hawai'i and the surrounding community.
Windward Community College culinary students will prepare a Mother's Day Brunch featuring an omelet station, eggs Benedict, roast turkey, Portuguese sausage stuffing, prime rib and shrimp with pasta.
Dozens more items will be available at a salad bar, dessert table, pastry tray, hot plates and beverage cart.
Reservations are required for the two seatings at 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Sunday at the college's cafeteria. Prices are $25 a person, $12.95 for children younger than 8 and free to those younger than 3.
Net proceeds from the brunch will benefit the Culinary Arts Program. For reservations call 235-7433.
The Kiwanis Club of Kane'ohe will have its 44th annual Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast from 6:30 to 11 a.m. Sunday at the Benjamin Parker Elementary School cafeteria at 45-259 Waikalua Road.
The meal — dine-in or take-out — includes pancakes, scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage and rice for $5 for adults, $2.50 for children and a package of 10 for $45.
Proceeds from the breakfast will benefit the Castle and Sacred Hearts high school KEY Clubs, Kane'ohe Elementary School K-Kids, Parents and Children Together, "Let's Talk Kane'ohe," Kapi'olani Medical Center's Children Center and others.
Tickets will be available at the door or by calling 247-6796. Parking is free.
A public meeting to discuss plans for major sewer pipe and water main work along Kapi'olani Boulevard will begin at 7 p.m. Monday at the McKinley High School cafeteria.
The city Department of Design and Construction and the Honolulu Board of Water Supply will detail their plans for the sewer work, which includes installing a "cured in place" resin pipe inside a 36-inch sewer main that runs under the center of Kapi'olani Boulevard, from Kalakaua Avenue to Kamake'e Street.
The cured-in-place pipe makes it unnecessary to expose the entire length of the main, because the work will be performed from the sewer manholes.
Emergency work was done last year on three segments of the main that were in the worst condition.
The water project involves installation of a water main under Kapi'olani for roughly the same stretch as the sewer project.
Portions of Kamake'e Street, Atkinson Drive and Kalakaua Avenue will be affected by the combined project.
Work is expected to begin in January and be completed in October 2007. Work will be suspended during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays.
The Department of Human Services is hoping the public can help locate a runaway foster girl who was last seen Monday at Kaimuki High School.
It was not known what she was wearing that day, but Irvine likes to wear shorts, T-shirts and tank tops.
She is about 5 feet tall and 130 pounds, and has a stocky build, brown eyes and dark brown bushy hair down to the middle of her back. Her hair is often worn in a ponytail.
She has pimples on her face, back and shoulders and is taking Tryleptal, a medication for depression.
Anyone with information about Irvine is asked to call police at 911.
To celebrate Law Week, volunteer attorneys will provide free legal information to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the following locations: Kaheka Daiei, Waipahu Daiei, Pearlridge Center, Windward Mall and Prince Kuhio Plaza on the Big Island.
Law Week is sponsored each year by the Hawai'i State Bar Association.
A legal line hot line will be available 6 to 7 p.m. today. Callers may receive free legal advice by calling 537-1868 or toll free from the Neighbor Islands (888) 609-5463.
