Tips for Surviving New Airport Security Measures

Visit the website for the U.S. Transportation Services Agency.  This is a must-visit site. On this site you will find everything you need to know about new airport security measures. Are you concerned about taking your fingernail clippers on board with you?  They have the latest list of prohibited and permitted items, timesaving tips, information on assistance for special needs, and other information that will help get you through the security process.

The Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) has been busy lately.  The Navy recently completed its third successful test of the Aegis ballistic missile defense system.  That’s the system launched from a ship that can intercept an incoming missile.  In the latest test the incoming missile was launched from PMRF and successfully intercepted at sea.  PMRF has seen a dramatic increase in funding, post 9/11 and employs well over 1,000 Kauai residents.

In a major boast for tourism in the Hawaiian Islands and on Kauai, a new federal bill has been passed and signed into law permitting Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) to re-flag one of its existing cruise ships with the American flag.  In addition, NCL will be permitted to fly the American flag on two new ships currently under construction.  These are the same ships that were originally slated to come to Hawaii and whose fate became uncertain when the company that ordered them went bankrupt.  Permitting NCL to fly the American flag on these three ships means they will have an all American crew and will also be permitted to cruise exclusively in Hawaiian waters.  Currently, all cruise ships calling on Hawaiian ports must also stop in a non-US port and many choose Fanning Island.  The net result for NCL will be more time spent in the Hawaiian Islands. YEA!

That will be the new name of Kauai Community College if Evan Dobelle, president of the University of Hawaii, has his way.  He believes that making the college a four year school could dramatically increase enrollment.  The plans include the building of dorms for students from out of state and other islands generally upgrading the campus.  The Board of Regents seems favorably inclined toward his proposal.

Now I know some of you may be reading this and saying to yourselves, what’s so bad about that?  Sounds like they’re running those airlines to try a make a profit.  Well, those of us that have lived on Kauai for awhile liked the old system quite a bit even if it did mean red ink year after year for the airlines. Over the long haul, let’s hope the new pricing keeps the inter-island airline market vibrant.

When United Airlines filed for bankruptcy this year, there was quite a bit of concern about the effect that would have on Hawaii.  United is the leading airline for passenger traffic to our islands.  Not to worry.  Looks like service is not going to be cut and in fact a second San Francisco to Lihue flight was added March 1st.

Without boring everyone with minute details, the server was still down on Friday and I decided to switch server companies.  That took until Monday to complete and then it took another 48 hours for our website to “populate” (whatever that means) on the new server.  The long and the short of it was we lost an entire week on the Hideaway Cove site and our second site STILL is not up and running.  We do have DSL service again.  YEA! However it is more than likely that you will receive this issue of FYI late because the data base with all of the FYI names is still not accessible.  GROAN!

The Ten Commandments

"Father, I came here today to steal a hat to replace the one I lost. But after hearing your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I changed my mind." 

The minister said, "Bless you my son. Was it when I started to preach thou shall not steal, that changed your heart?" 

The man responded, "No, it was the one on adultery. When you started to preach on that, I remembered where I left my hat."

• You're asleep, but others worry that you're dead. 
• Your back goes out more than you do. 
• You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. 
• You are proud of your lawn mower. 
• Your best friend is dating someone half their age ......and isn't breaking any laws. 
• Your arms are almost too short to read the newspaper. 
• You would rather go to work than stay home sick. 
• You constantly talk about the price of gasoline. 
• You consider coffee one of the most important things in life. 
• You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. 
• Neighbors borrow your tools. 
• People call at 9 p.m. and ask, "Did I wake you?" 
• You take a metal detector to the beach. 
• You wear black socks with sandals. 
• You know what the word "equity" means. 
• Your ears are hairier than your head. 
• You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn. 
• You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize

All Patrols Are Busy

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he said no. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said “Okay,” hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. 

“Hello. I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now cause I just shot all them sons a bitches! .” Then he hung up. 

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the policemen said to George: “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

Toi's Thai Restaurant-$98,000
Toi's famous Thai Restaurant and Karaoke Bar (open 'till 2:00 AM.)  Located in the shopping center on the highway to Port Allen. High traffic area. Turn-key operation, ready for new owner to start making pad tai.  Motivated Seller. Profitable full bar. Ample parking. Next to McDonalds. 12 tables, 48 seats plus more at the bar.

General Store and Warehouse-$325,000.
Located on the road that connects Koloa to the highway going around the island (Koloa Road) just before it reaches the highway.  The area is also known as Lawai Acres.  There is a funky 2000 square foot general store and the balance of 6,432 is warehouse. Recently renovated warehouse with many, many improvements. Leasehold.

Residential Apartment, Hair Dresser and Warehouse-$750,000
Kalaheo highway frontage! Great site for high visibility! Current use include a rental apartment, Hair Dresser and street level space with basement. Total covered area of 5,243 square foot commercial and 1,472 square foot residential apartment.  A long-term lease is also available.

Kalaheo Commercial Building-$2,250,000
17 condominium office and retail spaces with a total of 14,820 square feet of lease able area. This is a bulk sale of all 17 spaces. Now running over 70% occupancy with a present monthly income of $14,318.  Herb’s note:  This is Rainbow Plaza in Kalaheo and is located right on the highway.  It includes some stable long term tenants including my dentist (Dr. Allen), Portofino’s Italian Restaurant (Kim and Bills favorite place to eat), Dominos Pizza, and a vet.  There seems to always be tenants moving in and out of here and it is surprising to learn that it is 70% occupied.

I know I said there were five commercial listings but it turns out one was a vacant lot in Port Allen listed for $595,000 and said to be suitable for a gas station or other commercial use.  It did not say that the owner would build to suit so it seems to me this would have been better listed under “Land”.
