By 1960, other uses for the area were contemplated as the Waimea Falls Ranch and Stables was charging 50 cents for parking and 75 cents for a stagecoach ride to the 45-foot falls located a mile in the valley. In 1971 the valley was sold to Bishop which is not affiliated with Bishop Estate, for $355,000. From 1971 through 1996, ownership of the valley has been held by different members of the Pietsch family under various restructuring plans. Nine years ago, Bishop Corp.

proposed spending $200,000 in implementing a master plan to develop the entire valley into a privately owned recreational area, doubling its visitor operation to 250,000. Despite opposition from environmentalists and other community organizations, the state Board of Land and Natural Resources over a 10-year period approved expanded recreational use of a small part of the valley. Wolffer bought the valley, which includes the adventure park, in October 1996 by picking up a $12 million Bank of Hawaii mortgage taken out by Attractions Hawaii, owned by a member of the Pietsch family, in 1989 to make improvements.

Patrick Downes, editor of the Hawaii Catholic Herald, said he hadn't read the bull itself but from its description believes it hasn't been enforced for centuries. However, Downes said he personally supports the bull's repeal if it "builds up the dignity and rights of the indigenous people." "If indeed the idea behind the bull is that nations are given the command of the church to conquer in Christ's name, to make colonies in the name of the church, yes, that should be repealed," he said. Lilikala Kame'elehiwa, director of the Center for Hawaiian Stud- ies, said the center supports Cas-tanha's efforts to take away the moral rights of colonizers who have invaded native countries. Repeal of the directive would restore fundamental human rights to indigenous peoples, she said. "It would be a first step toward peace between colonizers and native people," she said.

The delegation ty have the meeting next weekV "The edict was the basis of action first by the Spanish and Portuguese in the New World to subjugate the native people," McCarthy said. This was an ideological sanction for much of the suppression of much of the native peoples and their cultures and their political rights, a sanction for widespread colonization. In the early days it was a sanction for genocide." The papal bull is the basis for the idea that native people cannot care for themselves, as demonstrated by the annexation of Hawaii and in the aftermath of World War II when German-controlled islands were handed over to Western governments, McCarthy explained.

The papal bull has been the subject of protest in Hawaii for three years. On the past two Columbus Days protesters gathered in front of the Catholic Diocese of Honolu- recorded drawing of Waimea Bay now hangs in the Bishop Museum. It was sketched on Feb. 27, 1779, when the HMS Discovery and the HMS Resolution stopped to replenish their water supplies after leaving Kealakekua Bay, where British Capt. James Cook had been killed.

For the next half-century, control of Waimea changed hands after Maui's ruling chief invaded Oahu and later when Kamehame-ha I consolidated control of the islands. The rule of the kahana nuis ended in 1837, and what followed was a succession of private ownership with the adoption of several land commission awards, including the Great Mahele. Lots of fishing and farming took place during the 19th century; for instance, crops grown in Waimea were sold in California during Gold Rush days. But floods, droughts and other natural disasters eventually forced out most farmers. By the 1900s only a few Japanese farmers worked the land.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops sealed the West Bank and Gaza, barring Palestinians from Israel in an attempt to head off new fighting. But as Palestinian demonstrations mounted, Israeli forces battled thousands of rock-throwers and smaller bands of gunmen in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in what the Palestinians billed as their "day of rage." Israeli troops and Palestinian gunmen exchanged fire in at least a half-dozen flash points in the West Bank and Gaza where tens of thousands of protesters marched on Israeli military positions, the army said. Four Palestinians were killed at Netzarim Junction in Gaza, four more in the West Bank, and one in East Jerusalem.

At the biggest demonstration in the West Bank town of Nablus, some 10,000 protesters marched toward a junction manned by Israeli soldiers. Mixed in with the chanting stone-throwers were gunmen armed with M-16 rifles. "We asked all the gunmen to keep away from the demonstrators, but when the first boy was killed they became angry and they didn't obey our orders," said Bassam Nairn, a Palestinian leader in Nablus. The two dem- onstrators killed during the af- -ternoon were being buried at nightfall.

Archaeological evidence points to habitation there several centuries ago. Taro, bananas, sweet potatoes, sugar cane, breadfruit, mountain apples, oranges and coconuts flourished in the rich valley soil. Religious temples were built on the banks of the Waimea River. The remains of two major heiaus Kupopolo on the Halei-wa side and Puu 0 Mahuka on the opposing Pupukea bluff still exist today. Puu 0 Mahuka Heiau is the largest sacrificial temple on Oahu.

The walls of the surrounding canyons are riddled with burial caves. Leinau pointed out that in 1092 the ahupuaa (land division running running from the mountain to the sea) of Waimea was given to the kahuna (priest) of Oahu by Kamapuaa, the island's ruling chief. The kahuna held the land until the 1770s, when Kahahana became the ruling chief and gave it to his kahana nui (high priest), Kaopulupulu. Leinau points out that the first $5 million reward still on Milosevic's head WASHINGTON The United States said today a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Yu-. goslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic still stands, Speaking a day after the Yu-' goslav opposition ousted Milo-J sevic from power after a decade of conflict and alleged i war crimes, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said of the reward: "It's part of our policy.

It hasn't changed." Milosevic, ousted by a popu- lar uprising after refusing to accept the result of a presidential election last week, is still believed to be in Belgrade, where he met visiting Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov earlier today. The United States made the offer of up to $5 million in May 1998, when Milosevic was in- I dieted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the for-' mer Yugoslavia in the Hague for Serbian attempts to carry out ethnic cleansing of Albani-' ans in Kosovo. i A similar reward was offered in the cases of the former Bosn-; ian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic and his military chief, Ratko Mladic. Boucher said U.S. policy, that Milosevic should be brought to The Hague for trial, had not changed, although U.S.

officials in recent days have shifted the emphasis in public statements toward the need to ensure sta-i bility in Belgrade. U.S. doesn't support any role for Milosevic WASHINGTON -The Unit- ed States said today it would not support any future role for Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic in Yugoslavia following the seizure of power by the Serb opposition. "We would not support any continued role for Milosevic in Yugoslavia," White House spokesman Jake Siewert told a briefing. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov said earlier, after meeting Milosevic in Belgrade, i that he planned to continue his political role through his party, Siewert also said Washington would not "endorse nor sup-i port" any move for a foreign I country to give Milosevic asy- lum.

Milosevic loyalists tried to steal millions BELGRADE, Yugoslavia Serbian opposition supporters said today they prevented a clique surrounding deposed leader Slobodan Milosevic from spiriting state funds to bank accounts abroad by crashing the national bank computer. Mladjan Dinkic, a top economist within the opposition, said opposition activists working at the bank had caused a computer system failure to halt state funds being drained. "We were tipped off about attempts to empty the Yugoslav state budget and transfer funds to accounts of companies managed by Milosevic loyalists," Dinkic said. "Today, we physically prevented the establishment transferring 50 million German marks ($22.2 million) from the National Bank of Yugoslavia for good," he said. Star-Bulletin news services BELGRADE: Yugoslavs hail new leader FHOM PAGE A-l away Milosevic's last hopes for high-level international support The military chief, in a statement read on federal-government controlled YU Info television, Pavkovic said: "Honoured Mr.

Kostunica, in the name of all the members of the Yugoslav army and on my own behalf, I want to congratulate you on your victory in the Yugoslav presidential election." "In the turbulent events which took place in recent days, our citizens demonstrated their political and national maturity and put an end to another great crisis," he said. "Members of the Yugoslav army, strictly respecting constitutional rulings, did not take part in the political struggle, are ready to accept the people's will and all the legitimate decisions of the electoral institutions." Milosevic, whose whereabouts have been a mystery since yesterday's street protests, met Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov and denounced the unrest He also signaled his intention to keep a role in Yugoslav politics. "He said he intends to play a prominent role in the political life of the country," Ivanov said. Ivanov would not confirm the location of their meeting, but Milosevic said it took place in Belgrade. The United States, which had cheered the prospect of a Balkans without Milosevic, rejected any future role for him in Yugoslav politics.

"This is something we cannot support," said Sandy Berger, the U.S. national security adviser. "He is still an indicted war criminal and has to be accountable, we believe, for his actions." The government had acknowledged that Kostunica outpolled Milosevic in the five-candidate election on Sept. 24 but said he fell short of a majority, requiring a runoff. Today, Milosevic appeared to lose his last legal basis for keeping power when the Yugoslav Constitutional Court declared Kostunica the election winner.

Two days earlier, the same court had reportedly invalidated Waimea Valley Adventure Park, which opened as a tourist attraction in 1974, and Sea Life Park, where visitors first started com-inginl964. The state's slump in tourism in the 1990s hurt attendance at both attractions. At Waimea Valley Park, attendance is at about 250,000 a year from a peak of about 600,000. The park says it includes 6,000 types of plants 400 of which are threatened or endangered species from Hawaii Or elsewhere growing between the falls and the parking lot Ray Greene, general manager, said most of the 148 employees live in the area and support the proposed city purchase of the park. He described the park as one of the North Shore's largest employers.

Where's Milosevic? It's not certain where Slobodan Milosevic is, but here are some places he frequents: Dedinie District: Milosevic maintains two residences in this upscale Belgrade area, where other senior officials of his entourage live. One of the homes was struck by a NATO missile in last year's bombing of Yugoslavia. It was repaired, but he never moved back. The neighborhood includes an underground bunker and other government-owned villas which could be at his disposal. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov visited the Dedinje residence for 45 minutes today, raising speculation that Milosevic is there.

Mount Crnl Vrrrc Opposition leaders believe Milosevic sought refuge in this vast complex of underground bunkers located in rugged mountain gorges near the eastern city of Bor.

Pozarevac: Milosevic's birthplace 50 miles east of Belgrade includes a heavily guarded compound. Karadjordjevo: This is a hunting lodge favored by the late communist dictator Josip Broz Tito. It's about 40 miles north of Belgrade, and Milosevic often entertained foreign dignitaries here.

The United States and the European Union promised economic sanctions on Serbia the dominant republic in Yugoslavia would be lifted once Kostunica was in place as president, and promised new aid to the country. Meanwhile, Kostunica and his supporters continued to consolidate their control after huge crowds danced and sang in celebrations all night long, fed by the excitement of having seized Yugoslavia's parliament and other key symbols of Milosevic's regime. again," said bank clerk Jovan Malekovic, 59 Yet the dizzying swiftness of yesterday's uprising took its toll. Several dozen people were reported injured and two others were killed in the melee. A number of policemen, as well as the head of Milosevic's infamous propaganda tool, the state-run television, suffered severe beatings by rioters unleashing decades of pent-up anger.

Windows of businesses believed to be owned by Milosevic's cronies were reduced to heaps of shattered glass as looters took their fill. The ransacked and torched parliament building smoldered as dozens of firefighters made sure all the flames were extinguished. Opposition leaders kept calling for restraint, pleading with their supporters not to mar the triumph. For many, like 81-year-old Kata-rina Jakovljevic, the apparent demise of Milosevic's authority was a dream come true. "I waited 55 years for this day," tearful, tired-looking Jakovljevic said.

After today's prayers, 8,000 worshippers poured out of the Al Aqsa mosque, some throwing stones, and Palestinian security agents forced them away from Israeli security forces just outside the compound. For several hours, Israeli police and Palestinians protesters skirmished in the narrow streets of the Old City. The Israelis eventually pulled back and allowed Palestinian security to disperse the crowd, though not before a small police post had been torched. Twenty-four Israeli policemen were injured, the Israelis said.

The cooperation between the security forces at the emotionally charged site was unprecedented. Yair Yitzhaki, the Jerusalem police commander, said the battle in the Old City could have been much worse. "The concept of being wise rather than being strong proved itself today. If we had gone onto Temple Mount, it would have ended in bloodshed," Yitzhaki said. Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have broken down because of a dispute over who will control the shrine.

Its reversal signaled that Milosevic had lost support in the courts, as well as the army and the media. By accepting defeat, Milosevic could prevent a split between his party and its wing in Montenegro, which has already acknowledged Kostunica as the president-elect If the Montenegrin wing backs Kostunica, he could have enough seats to keep Milosevic allies out of the government But if the Montenegrins stick by Milosevic, the Yugoslav leader could maintain a strong voice in government.

Montenegro and the larger, dominant Serbia make up the federation of Yugoslavia. Ivanov, carrying a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin, met earlier with Kostunica, saying he "congratulated Mr. Kostunica on his victory in the presidential elections." "I am convinced that we are gradually getting back to normal and I believe the crisis is behind us," said a visibly pleased Kostunica. The move by Russia the last major European nation to back Kostunica won praise from an exultant U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright "This is great news," Albright said, giving a thumbs up.

"We are very glad that Russia night so that we can defend our victory," opposition leader Ve-limir Hie told crowds gathered in front of the Yugoslav parliament Much of the police force had abandoned their posts in front of parliament and other state buildings. By early today, they were hugging the very people they had for years threatened with tear gas and truncheons. In front of the parliament building, three youths gleefully stubbed out cigarettes on an official framed portrait of Milosevic one of many chucked out of parliament windows. Many of Belgrade's 2 million people quickly joined the celebrations around the once-untouchable pillars of Milosevic's regime: the parliament and the headquarters of the state-run broadcaster. They laughed and sang and, as the euphoria finally ebbed, mused over their future.

By nightfall, they believed they had won. As the sun rose this morning, so did their hopes that Milosevic would surrender without a fight. Milosevic's whereabouts were still unknown, and opposition leaders believed he was hiding in eastern Yugoslavia.
