The round buoys are about five feet in diameter, with a lighted mast, and weigh between 900 and 1,000 pounds, not including their chains, she said. Newton said it isnt known how many of Kauai's buoys may still be chained to the ocean floor. "It's going to be important to people because they're going to want to get back to fishing," she said. Heavy beach erosion on Kauai's western shore unearthed human remains, raising concern about archaeological sites.

The damage on shore 'suggests heavy reef damage offshore but underwater impacts have yet to be assessed, said division chief Henry Sakuda. By Peter Wagner Star-Bulletm Four fishing buoys that broke loose during Iniki's high seas have raised concern that others may be bobbing free in the ocean. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources yesterday said it fears all nine of the state-owned buoys positioned off Kauai to attract fish may be gone. The U.S. Coast Guard yesterday had no reports of missing buoys, potentially a hazard to navigation.

Two buoys anchored in about 100 feet of water off Kauai were retrieved and brought to Nawiliwi-li Harbor, officials said. Another buoy lost off Oahu was recovered off Kaena Point And the fourth wayward buoy, lost off Maui, was towed into Hilo Harbor. Department officials yesterday met with reporters in the first of planned weekly briefings on natural resources storm damage on Kauai. While only superficial assessments have been made, damage appears extensive both on land and water, they said. The first order of business, they said, is to tend to the needs of department employees on Kauai.

The next effort, they said, will be to clear forest trails for public safety. Aquatic Resources Division biologist Debbie Newton said the buoys maintained for commercial and recreational fishermen regularly break loose and are usu 'oin Us INIKI BRIEFS ffm fill lift MlNil1 For Our Estate Jewelry Showing.

PEARLRIDGE coe WASHINGTON President Bush last night signed legislation providing a record $11.1 billion in emergency aid to areas battered by Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki and Typhoon Omar. Bush signed the package of grants, loans and other assistance five days after it cleared the House and Senate on voice votes. Of the total, $10.6 billion is earmarked for disaster programs run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Small Business Administration and several other agencies, Bush noted in a statement.

The package contains $6.3 billion in spending, and authority for the government to make or back $4.8 billion worth, of loans for the storms' victims'. The bill will pay for everything from rebuilding wrecked schools to lending money to owners of destroyed homes. Retirees whoop It up as electricity is restored LIHUE Residents at the Sun Village Kauai retirement community are usually quiet. But some shouted with joy and laughed Tuesday night when electricity was restored at the complex, the first area in Lihue to get power back since Hurricane Iniki knocked out power almost two-weeks ago. "I have my freedom again.

I can use the elevator to get around and talk with people again," said Ellen Ashton, 86, who can only get around with the help of a walker. She said she can also now get to important medical appointments and run errands. Otti Hellriegel, 71, said the return of power meant a return to a normal life for her and many of the 200 residents at the complex. "I can take care of my husband and cook him a real meal make coffee on your own," she said. "When you are old, it's good to get back in a routine." Ruby Scott, 89, said she missed electricity "terribly" and missed the use of an elevator to get to her second-story unit Walking up the steps "made the ticker work harder," said Scott, patting her heart gently.

Free flights offered kids to attend off-isle schools LIHUE Hawaiian Airlines is offering free flights to Kauai children whose parents send them to live with relatives on other islands so they can attend school while Kauai schools are closed. The state Department of Education has said it will let Kauai students attend schools where their relatives or friends live, without going through lengthy district exemption procedures. State Sen. Eloise Tungpalan had suggested that Hawaiian Airlines offer the free tickets. These families need our support," said Tungpalan, vice chair of the Senate Education Committee.

"This will help relieve the stress Kauai families are facing and give the children a better environment to study in. With no power and lights, it's hard for a child to study with a flashlight held by parents." Tungpalan said Aloha Airlines will be asked to offer free seats.
