The site, known to Muslims as the Al-Aqsa mosque compound and to Jews as the Temple Mount, has been the epicenter of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and Palestinian flags raised there were seen as a direct challenge to Israel's sovereignty. After a day of tension, police rushed in this evening, police spokesman Shmu-' el Ben-Ruby said. Police said they were pursuing hundreds of Palestinians, but it was not clear whether stones were being thrown from the compound at the time.

What will the city pay for the North Shore valley? Further, people wonder By Gregg K. Kakesako Star-Bulletin WAIMEA Valley on Oahu's North Shore, with rugged gorges, steep ridges, caves and pointed bluffs, is rich in the history and the traditions of Hawaii.

"There is food, shelter, and the river is a perennial supply of fresh water. The fishing must have been great," said Bob Leinau, Waimea Valley Adventure Park historian. "The area can be described as a microcosm of whatever happened in Hawaiian history." At issue is whether a public-private partnership could run the current restaurant and retail visitor operations while preserving the rest of the lush valley. Only 300 acres of the valley are developed and occupied by Waimea Valley Adventure Park with cultural games and waterfalls and a botanical garden. City Councilwoman Rene Mansho wants the city to purchase the valley, which New York investor Christian Wolffer has had on the market for $25 million since July.

A current appraisal would be needed since city Deputy Managing Director Malcolm Tom said that for tax purposes the conservation land is valued at $5.1 million. Mayor Jeremy Harris favors purchasing the park "if the price is right," said city spokeswoman Carol Costa. She said Harris intends to visit it within the next week to see specifically what is there. Kai McDurmin, agent for Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties representing Wolffer, said a "couple of interesting parties" have expressed interest in the property. Supporting the sale to the city are the Outdoor Circle, the Historic Hawaii Foundation and the 148-member staff of the Waimea Valley Adventure Park, which occupies the only PLEASE SEE WAIMEA, A-8 Astrology D-12 Koktia Line A-2 Classified D-8 Letters A-18 Comics D-12 Obituaries A-14 Crossword D-12 Scoreboard C-4 DearAbby D-2 Sports C-l Donnelly D-12 Stocks B-2 Editorials A-18 Television D-2 Hawaii Inc.
