*****Record Numbers Turn Out For Democratic Caucas*****

Lines were long and the ballots couldn’t be printed fast enough as a record number of voters turned out on Tuesday night for the Democratic Caucus. The last caucus had 4 thousand voter turn out and this year it was nearly ten times that. Democratic phone lines, offices and websites were overwhelmed. Tempers flared at times state wide as frustrated voters stood in long, long lines to vote but overall the people of Hawaii handled their frustrations well. Senator Danial Inoye said it was the largest voter turn out he had seen since Hawaii first became a state in 1959. Barack Obama spent most of his childhood in Honolulu until he left for college in the mainland and was hopeful of winning his home state which he did by getting 76.85% of the vote.

*****Injunction Filed Against Koloa Developer*****

The much publicized Koloa Monkeypod trees are again in our news. The trees have been trimmed and are surrounded by stakes which will hold dust screens as the site gets prepared for a shopping center. On March 13th an injunction will be heard by Kauai’s fifth circuit court in a motion that was filed by Kauai resident Ted Erum against the Knudson Trust and Stacey Wong, the trustee for the estate. The complainant states the monkeypod trees are worthy of being designated exceptional trees “by reason of their historical and cultural values, age, location, size and beauty.” Stacey Wong declined to comment.
