Welcome to my Monday Morning edition of Kauai local news and real estate updates! I hope you all had a nice Mothers Day. It was busy over here with mothers being celebrated with beautiful flower leis and eating out at their favorite restaurants. Our weather has been breezy and very sunny with the temperature kept at a very comfortable level and this weekend was no exception.

*****Monk Seal Pup Airlifted To Oahu*****
On a remote beach on the North Shore of Oahu and baby monk seal was found having been abandoned by his mother. The NOAA team (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) tried to reintroduce the pup to its mother but she exhibited aggressive behavior towards the pup and seemed more interested in the male monk seal that was nearby. The NOAA has never nursed a pup this small but remain optimistic t that it can be saved and released to the Midway Atoll. The Hawaiian Monk Seals are on the endangered list, many are dying of starvation because they can’t find enough to eat or are killed by sharks. As of Friday the seal pup is showing continued signs of improvement and caretakers of the seal remain “guardedly optimistic”

*****3 Kauai Police Officers Convicted*****
Three Kauai police officers were convicted on Monday for second degree theft and tampering with government records. All three officers have received probation and are ordered to pay restitution and fines. In 2005 the three officers did not attend a Maui marijuana eradication meeting. Instead they used the time on Maui as a vacation and spent $300 dollars of state and county money. The officers altered attendance records form the event. The sentencing was tough to do Judge Watanabe said because all officers had exceptional records before this. The decision, Watanabe said, was more about the subsequent actions when they returned by exhibiting “continuous deception”.

*****Did You Lose Your Iguana? *****
A three foot iguana was captured at Makaha Elementary School on Oahu. The school was on lockdown while police captured the iguana with fishing net. It remains a mystery where this iguana comes from; they are illegal here in the state of Hawaii because they feed on bird eggs.

*****Superferry Return Dependent on Kauai Leaders*****
The new CEO of the troubled superferry retired Navy Adm. Thomas Fargo said it is up the Kauai leaders to invite the superferry to come back. Senator Gary Hooser said he can’t direct the superferry to return because legally it still can. But he says that the public sentiment is still negative and that he is not inclined to put this to the Kauai Council. So what does Kauai think? It all depends on what poll you read! Given the current shake up in Aloha Airlines Cargo division there has been some positive thought towards having an alternate transportation mode. Senator Hooser said he’d like to see the reliability proved on Maui before the question is posed to invite the company back to Kauai.
