Linda Lingle issued the following message:"As the residents of Kaua'i and people throughout the state observe the one-year anniversary of the Kaloko Dam tragedy, I ask everyone to remember and honor the lives of the seven people who were killed in the early morning of March 14, 2006.
"The sudden loss of these individuals — Daniel Arroyo, Christina McNees, Alan Dingwall, Aurora Fehring, Rowan Fehring-Dingwall, Wayne Rotstein and Timothy Noonan — was felt by everyone in our community, and we share the sorrow of their families, friends and neighbors.
