Homeowners and renters are eligible for up to 140,000 to replace damaged or destroyed personal property, Poepoe said.

Small Business Administration has issued the first disaster loan checks to help victims clean up and rebuild after heavy rains, high surf, flooding and landslides struck Oahu last month. The Small Business Administration issued 14 checks yesterday totaling $100,000 to disaster victims throughout the Waianae, Haleiwa and Kailua areas, said spokesman Herb Johnston. The SBA issued a disaster declaration on Nov. 26, which made disaster loans available to repair homes, personal property and businesses damaged by the high winds and severe storms. Loans are also available for small businesses that suffered financial hardship because of the disaster.

As of Tuesday, the SBA had issued 169 applications, said district director Andrew K. Poepoe. And applications are still available. SBA representatives are available to receive applications or help people fill them out at Waianae Mall. 86-120 Farrington Highway, Suite 3 qssdddo osssmasa OOOOt OOOOOOOOOOOD iVTVV7 Kauai is last-minute location for 'Lost World' picnic scene Star-Bulletin staff a Special savings on an Exceptional lineup of Serta models including perfect Sleeper!

Although the film is largely being shot in Costa Rica and California, the beach scene was was to have been shot in New Zealand. "That fell through, for some reason, and the location was shifted to Hawaii," said Deemer. "It happened real fast. They contacted us just last week, and we turned the permits around in one day." Most of the crew are from Hollywood, but many of the local hires worked on the original film, said Deemer. She also said it's a bit early to calculate the financial benefit one scene will have on Kauai's depressed economy.

"Jurassic Park" will wind up filming scenes on Kauai this week. No, this isn't a rerun. Steven Spielberg's film production of Michael Crichton's "The Lost World," otherwise known as "Jurassic Park II," is filming one scene on a Kauai beach. The scene involves a picnicking family, and doesn't include any of the film's stars. Although Spielberg is reportedly on Kauai on vacation and has visited the production, the work is being handled by a second-unit director, said Hawaii Film Office head Georgette Deemer.
