Hawaii Tribune-Herald from Hilo, Hawaii • 10

1 10 -Hawaii Tribune-Herald, Friday, 10 -KONA- 'August 12, 1983 From page 1 (fiscal year 1985-87) and funds for construction are currently scheduled for fiscal year 1987-89 biennium and subsequent years," according to Soon. Soon outlined the safety improvement measures implemented on Kawaihae Road in the past year, including reduction of the speed limit from 55 to 45 miles per hour, reduction of the speed limit in the Waiaka junction area from 35 to 25, installation of "rumble strips" on the westbound approach to the junction and upgrading of warning signs on the westbound approach to the Waiaka junction. The 1983 Legislature also appropriated $100,000 for further safety improvements on Kawaihae Road, Soon said. Lawrence said the South Kohala Traffic Safety Committee is quite concerned about the Waiaka Bridge area. "The bridge has the worst record of accidents of any tenth of a mile segment on the entire Kawaihae Road," Lawrence said.

The bridge is on the outskirts of the town of Waimea, right before the Kawaihae Road branches to the left and the Kohala Mountain Road shoots off to the right. Over the mountains into North Kohala. "This bridge, which was built in 1932, and which is on a curve at a three-way intersection, is dangerous, and inadequate for present day traffic. It is need appropriations to engineer and replace the bridge," Lawrence said. The traffic safety committee also sees a "definite need" for a traffic signal light at the main intersection in the heart of Waimea.

Owen Miyamoto, state airports administrator, outlined changes and improvements under way or in the works for Kona's Keahole Airport. Several projects are on tap, geared to meet the growing needs of general aviation and to allow the more efficient use of the terminal areas as air carrier operations expand. In general, the projects would allow the relocation of itinerant general aviation aircraft, and home-based general aviation aircraft, from FO Friday report KOHA to go on air on Aug. 22 The Big Island will have its first commercial television station both locally produced programs and some programs of all showing three major networks. It will be the first commercial station on any of the Neighbor Islands.

KOHA TV will begin telecasting Aug. 22 on Channel 2. Station general manager Charles Lohr said his station will pick up some of the discontinued shows such as "Twilight Zone," "I Spy," "Chips," "Family Feud" and "Private Benjamin," in addition to local news and sports. The station also will have a daily children's program and will air ABC Nightline news. It will be the only station in Hawaii to carry ABC Monday Night Baseball.

Telecasting time will be from 4 to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The station is owned by the Oceanic Broadcasting a Hawaii corporation, headed by former Honolulu newsman Chuck Henry. At the grand opening gathering Thursday night, Henry said his company will begin the television operation in a small scale. "We will grow with the community," he said.

The station announced that Lehua Pekelo is its news anchorwoman and Robert Miguel is her co-anchor. Both are former newscasters with KPUA Radio in Hilo. Major investors are members of the Buck Productions a Los Angeles-based Buck family investment partnership. ACLU to take Navy to court HONOLULU (UPI) The American Civil Liberties Union's litigation committee has decided to take the' Navy to court over its refusal to allow peace activists to hand out leaflets on Navy ships which are open for public visiting. Hawaii chapter spokeswoman Linda Hills said Thursday the ACLU believes the Navy actions violated the recent U.S.

9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the James James Albertini case. The San court overturned a lower court conviction of Albertini for trespassing by entering Hickam Air Force Base to hand out leaflets during a base open house. "In its reversal, the court said quite clearly that when military officials advertise an open house, they are thereby creating a public forum, and people like Albertini cannot be prevented from expressing their views," Hills said. The Navy contends an "open ship" is not the same as an "open house." In written guidance on the effect of the appeals court decision, a Navy judge advocate said a base commander may abandon control of access to a base during an open house, but a ship commander "never abandons control" of access to his naval vessel. Hills said she will be surprised if the court agrees with the distinction.

Hills said the ACLU intends to seek an injunction before the next "open ship," to force Navy compliance with the appeals court ruling. -Photo by Larry Kadooka TRANSPORTATION REPORTS State tran- sought public testimony during Kona and Hilo sportation director Ryokichi Higashionna, standing, and other transportation officials presented updates on Big Island projects and the commuter terminal area to the control tower area at the south end of the terminal. Miyamoto also noted that United Airlines will start its daily DC-10 non-stop service from Los Angeles to Kona on Sept. 7, with return flights stopping at Hilo before continuing on to Los Angeles. Miyamoto said Sun Tours, a large mainland travel agency, also has chartered Arrow Airways out of Miami to fly regularly scheduled flights Bay for boating facilities as well as a parcel of land on Manono Street adjacent to the Wailoa launching ramp for a trailer boat dry storage area.

Citing "countless gasoline spills, oil globs, and now this molasses spill," Alice Hughes, a Bakers Beach resident, told the commissioners that "cleaning up the bay is so much more important" than the boating facilities. "It would be nice to have new boating facilities and ramps but who's going to want to sail through there with all the dead fish and globs of stuff in the water?" asked David Huggett, another Bakers Beach resident. Vincent said replacement of Hilo Harbor's -owned pipes is, "under study" but he could not say when the study would be complete. The harbormaster added the state has turned responsibility for maintenance of the oil and gas lines over to the oil companies who use them. He said they are also required to "pressure test the lines before discharging" fuel into the lines.

But, Vincent said, the possibility for a spill remains. "The pipes are deteriorated," he said. "Let's make it clear. we're just as concerned with the environment as everyone else," Director Higashionna interjected. "But we can't get a solution to it by squawking and grumbling Engelhard, base price for refining settling and unfabricated gold 421.45 up 0.70 per troy ounce.

This photo was taken at Konawaena High School. between Los Angeles and Kona beginning Sept. 2. During her presentation on West Hawaii highways projects, Soon gave an update on the Queen Kaahumanu Highway Extension currently under construction in North Kona. The, extension will run from Palani Road to connect with Kuakini Highway in the vicinity of the Kilohana subdivision, will cost some $7.2 million, and is expected to be completed by April of next year.

HILO From page 1 questioning from trucker Yasu Kuwaye, the transportation director said requests for heavier loads on the bridge will continue to be denied. The transportation officials said two wooden bridges remaining along the Belt Road in the Hamakua district are scheduled to be replaced in the first half of 1984. A 3.1-mile detour route along a makai cane road has been determined to be the most economical alternative route to use during the construction of the two bridges. As to the Hilo Bayfront Highway project, Soon said an environmental impact draft is currently being readied and a public hearing on the matter is anticipated later this year. Three alternatives are being considered for the alignment between Wainaku and Wailuku streams, all of which call for construction of a second bridge over the Wailuku River mauka of the existing bridge.

District Harbormaster Adam Vincent then turned to the topic of the island's harbor projects. He said action "will be taken shortly" to clear the Wailoa River entrance channel of sand. He added the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been asked to include the shoaling in the river entrance in its comprehensive Hilo Bay study.

"It's not a simply thing. In some areas we don't know who owns what. Dillingham owned some of them and when the state purchased them, we could only base things on what was in the drawings. We have problems at times reconciling what's in the drawings with what's actually in the ground," he explained. Commissioner Chew Hoy Lee said before the federal government would agree to dredge Hawaii's harbors, it forced the state to buy out all private harbor owners.

The last topic concerned the proposed boat launching facility on Hawaiian Homes land at South Point. Higashionna said he wanted to clarify the fact that the proposal drawn up as a joint federal-state project was "initiated at the request of residents of this island." Higashionna said the federal funds earmarked for the project will lapse by Sept. 30 if there is no clear from the state for its construction. He added that deadline is in compliance with the Reagan administration's push for making the financing of such projects the responsibility of local rather than federal authorities.
