SEATTLE — The new year is shaping up to be one of the mari-juana movement’s strongest ever.

The first legal pot storefronts in America opened to long lines in Colorado this month. Washington state is poised to issue licenses for producing, processing and sell-ing the Schedule I drug — once officials sift through about 7,000 applications.

Signature gatherers have been at work in at least five states to put marijuana measures on the ballot in 2014. On Wednesday organiz-ers announced they had gathered more than 1 million signatures in favor of putting a medical

marijuana measure before voters in Florida, a high-population bell-wether that could become the first Southern state to embrace pot.

“Florida looks like the country as a whole,” said Ben Pollara, cam-paign manager for the Sunshine State’s effort. “If Florida does this, it is a big deal for medical marijuana across the country.”

Just three months ago, a clear majority of Americans for the first time said the drug should be legal-ized — 58 percent of those sur-veyed, which represents a 10-per-centage-point jump in just one year, according to the Gallup Poll.

Such acceptance is almost five

Bounty hunter defends actions

Creagan outlines legislative plans

Police say arrest made following dangerous chase

A bounty hunter has been indicted on numerous charges stemming from what witness-es allegedly told police was a high-speed chase through Keaukaha in September.

The six-count indict-ment dated Jan. 15 charg-es 43-year-old Benny William Gordon of Pahoa with first-degree criminal prop-erty damage, second-degree reckless endangering and two counts each of third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The property damage charge is a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment. The drug and paraphernalia charges are both Class C felonies pun-ishable by up to five years in prison, and the reckless endangering charge is a mis-demeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.

According to police Capt. Richard Sherlock, the charges stem from an incident on the afternoon of Sept. 4 involv-ing “two vehicles speeding on Andrews Avenue.”

“The report is that one of the vehicles ran the oth-er vehicle off the road,” Sherlock said Friday. “The pickup truck ran the other car, a Honda sedan, into a rock wall and further tried to pin it into the rock wall.

” … At some point, the Honda got loose and drove to Baker Avenue, where it was run off the road again.”

Sherlock said respond-ing officers determined that Gordon was driving the pick-up truck and arrested him for reckless endangering and criminal property damage.

Court documents filed by police state the pickup truck allegedly driven by Gordon rammed the Honda, driven by 36-year-old Raylad Brown of Hilo, three times.

It’s been a whirlwind first week for newly minted state Rep. Richard Creagan, who was appointed Jan. 10 to the District 5 post vacated by former state Rep. Denny Coffman.

With committees already up and run-ning, and Thursday’s bill

filing deadline looming, Creagan, a Democrat rep-resenting Kailua-Kona, Kealakekua, Captain Cook, Ocean View and Naalehu, is realistic about his chances of success-fully sponsoring major legislation his first year in office.

SEATTLE (AP) — The family of an American mis-sionary held more than a year in North Korea was heartbroken and encour-aged by a brief news con-ference in which Kenneth Bae, wearing a gray cap and inmate’s uniform with the number 103 on his chest, apologized and said he committed anti-govern-ment acts.

“Our end goal is to see Kenneth reunited so he can recover emotionally and physically. He has chronic health problems,” family friend Derek Sciba told The Associated Press. Sciba is a friend of Bae’s sister, Terri Chung of Edmonds, and part of a group pushing for Bae’s release.

“On the one hand it’s

heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform at the mercy of folks in North Korea, but on the other hand it’s encouraging to see him and that he’s able

to speak,” Sciba said.Bae made the com-

ments at what he called a press conference held at his own request. He was under guard during the

appearance. It is not unusu-al for prisoners in North Korea to say after their release that they spoke in similar situations under duress.

Bae spoke in Korean during the brief appear-ance, which was attended by The Associated Press and several other members of the foreign media in Pyongyang.

Bae, the longest-serving American detainee in North Korea in recent years, expressed hope that the U.S. government will do its best to win his release. He said he had not been treated badly in confinement.

“I believe that my prob-lem can be solved by close cooperation and agreement between the American gov-ernment and the govern-ment of this country,” he said.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — An environmental group is attempting to clean the waters in Corvallis’ Sequoia Creek — and potentially the Willamette River beyond it — using an unusual tool: mushrooms.

The process used by vol-unteers with the Ocean Blue Project, an ecological resto-ration nonprofit, is to place mushroom spawn and a mix-ture of coffee grounds and straw in burlap bags that mushrooms can grow in, and then place the bags so that water entering storm drains will filter through them. The technique is attempting to take advantage of the natural ability of mycelium — the underground part of fungi — to break down toxins like oil and pesticides and metabolize harmful bacteria like E. coli.

Ocean Blue Project vol-unteers placed their first test bag, containing yellow oyster mushroom spawn, in a drain-age chute near the Ninth Street Coffee Culture on Sunday.

Richard Arterbury, presi-dent of the Ocean Blue Project, said he thinks the project has huge potential.

“If you put enough of these bags by the Willamette River it could potentially change the river,” he said.

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality water sampling from 2008 to 2012 showed the presence of pes-ticides, flame retardants, met-als, and chemical ingredients from consumer products in the river. The Oregon Health Authority also has an active mercury advisory warning that children should not eat more than one serving of resi-dent species of fish from the main fork of the Willamette River a month, and that adults should not eat more than four servings.

The Washington Environmental Council has been using similar techniques in parts of the Puget Sound region, and a unrelated study from the state has shown fungi helped remove fecal coliform bacteria from flowing water.

The documents also show Gordon is employed as a fugitive recovery agent — also known as a skip tracer or bounty hunter — by 4Freedom Bail Bonds. Gordon allegedly told offi-cers that Brown was wanted on a warrant.

According to a Sept. 28, 1997, article on Slate.com, bounty hunters, whose powers are derived from the 1972 U.S. Supreme Court case Taylor vs. Taintor, are afforded more latitude than police in their methods of apprehending fugitives.

“They do not need a war-rant to search the residence of a skip, even a hotel room,” the article states. “Nor are they required to announce themselves before entering private property, as police officers must. Evidence obtained illegally by bounty hunters can be submitted in court. Like all police offi-cers, bounty hunters are authorized to use ‘all rea-sonable force’ to apprehend skips.”

Sherlock said bounty hunters are not allowed to endanger the public to apprehend a fugitive.

“As to ramming, reck-lessly endangering any-body, and/or criminal prop-erty damage in this case, they’re not given that lib-erty. They’re definitely allowed to do their jobs within the confines of the law which everybody else is assumed to follow,” he said. “We as police officers are not allowed to ram cars off the road or use or vehicles in any type of intervention. That’s our policy.”

Sherlock said the drug and paraphernalia charges against Gordon were filed after he was searched at the Hilo police station.

“We do what is called an inventory search and we found two crystal glass pipes with white residue and initial tests done were presumptive positive for methamphetamine,” he said.

Gordon said Monday that Brown “knew that he was wanted by the company I work for, 4Freedom Bail Bonds.”

“He saw me and he tried to evade me and run from me,” Gordon said. “I was following him. I wasn’t endangering nobody. I was just following at a distance. He ended up spinning out on one of the turns in Keaukaha and I tried to block him in so he didn’t endanger any-body else, obviously. He got away from that one and he decided to go and try to get away through the back road, which I tried to cut him off. He proceeded to come head on into me, so I decided to use my vehicle and stop him. I stopped right there in

the middle (of the road) and he ran right into it.”

Gordon said Brown then fled on foot and Gordon chased him down and apprehended him.

“The bad part of this thing is that I confiscated his pipes and, unfortunately, when the cops came, I had the pipes on me,” he said. “I told the arresting offi-cer, I forget his name, but I told him that they were his (Brown’s), but they didn’t care. … I’m trying to con-test (police and prosecutors’ allegations) that the pipes were mine.”

According to court records, Brown has 18 convictions, including four felonies — burglary, theft, promotion of a dangerous

drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Court records also indicate that Gordon has 26 convictions, nine for felonies, including theft, attempted theft, forgery, fraudulent use of a credit card, auto theft, escape and a firearms charge, but none for drugs. He is, however, facing a firearms charge and felony drug-related charges in another case, including attempted first-degree meth-amphetamine trafficking, a Class A felony punishable by up to 20 years imprison-ment. Those charges were brought by indictment on Nov. 21, 2012. Prosecutors also charged him with bail jumping by felony informa-tion complaint on Oct. 4,

2013.Gordon called the charg-

es “a personal vendetta to see me behind bars” by Jason Skier, a deputy prosecutor, and added that he doesn’t use meth. He described himself as “a pub-lic servant.”

“I’ve made mistakes in my life,” he said. “But I’ve committed the last two years to apprehending fugi-tives and that’s all that I do now. … I led a terrible life in the beginning, but I defi-nitely have a higher purpose now.”

Skier did not return a Monday phone call seeking comment by press time.

OMAHA, Neb. — An explosion that brought down part of an animal feed pro-cessing plant in Omaha on Monday morning killed two people and seriously injured 10 others, authorities said.

The search for bodies in the crippled International Nutrition plant progressed slowly Monday and had to be suspended in the evening. Omaha Police Lt. Darci Tierney said all 38 of the workers who were in the building at the time were accounted for, so the death toll wasn’t expected to grow.

Through much of the day, authorities declined to say how many died while they sorted out what happened. In total, officials said two died, 10 were hospitalized and seven were hurt but refused treatment. The other 19 workers escaped.

Authorities said late Monday that Keith Everett, 53, of Omaha, was one of the victims. The other victim’s name hasn’t been released.

Search-and-rescue

experts worked into Monday evening to stabilize the building and removed one victim.

But the combination of strong winds, cold tem-peratures and a dangerous building forced rescuers to suspend operations before the second victim could be recovered, Omaha Interim Fire Chief Bernie Kanger said.

That search effort and investigation will resume this morning, but there’s dif-ficult work ahead.

“We’ve got tens of thou-sands of pounds of concrete, reinforced concrete and steel,” Kanger said. “This is a very significant rescue operation.”

Authorities don’t know what caused the blast, but Kanger noted there were no hazardous chemicals at the three-story plant. International Nutrition makes products that are added to livestock and poul-try feed to make them more nutritious.

The second and third floors of the plant collapsed on top of the first floor as key structural supports failed

Monday. Kanger said fire-fighters were able to rescue five men initially, including one who had to be cut out of the debris.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration will determine the cause of the accident, but Kanger said the investigation could take weeks.

The explosion knocked out the lights in the building and sent workers scrambling for safety.

Nate Lewis said he was on the first floor when he heard the explosion. The building went dark, so the 21-year-old used light from his cellphone to make his way across the production floor and outside.

“I was a production line worker, although I don’t know if I want to be that anymore,” said Lewis, who’s worked there for about four months.

Jamar White said he heard a loud crack and looked up to see the back wall of the building collapsing.

“I ran at least 150 feet,” White said. “I ran far enough to make sure nothing else would keep falling.”

Afterward, White said, he could see inside the third floor where at least two co-workers were screaming for help.

There appears to be struc-tural damage to the top of the building, which sits in an industrial area just south of Interstate 80, which bisects Nebraska’s larg-est city. There are no resi-dences nearby and the other industrial buildings nearby weren’t evacuated after the explosion.

Diane Stout said she’d heard from her husband, a manager on the plant main-tenance crew, so she knew he was OK. The workers all know each other well, Stout said, so she was hop-ing to hear good news about friends there.

White’s wife, Sarah White, said she was at home with her four children when her husband called her after the explosion.

“I could hear the panic in his voice,” she said. “But he

HawaiiReport

HONOLULU (AP) — State regulators are looking into whether an undersea power cable between Maui and Oahu would be in the public’s interest.

The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission is inviting the pub-lic to comment on the cable at meetings today at Farrington High School in Honolulu and Thursday at Pomaikai Elementary School in Kahului.

Proponents of the cable say it would allow power sharing between islands, which could increase the reliability of electricity and stabi-lize power costs.

The investigation is looking at issues including whether the benefits to Hawaii rate-payers would outweigh the costs and what kind of regulatory and rate-making policies should be considered.

priorities he’s pursuing. Among them are a replace-ment hospital for Kona, a four-year university for West Hawaii, expedited citizenship for Marshallese residents in Hawaii and a second water well for Ocean View.

Named to the Consumer Protection & Commerce; Judiciary; Health; Housing; and Human Services com-mittees, Creagan, a physi-cian who also worked in the state Department of Health, thinks health care, especial-ly in West Hawaii, is going to be an important topic in the coming year.

“The bottom line is, Kona Community Hospital needs to be replaced, and how it is replaced is going to be contentious,” Creagan said.

A public-private partner-ship is the solution most discussed, but there’s been little interest from other hospitals in Hawaii, he said. Banner Health System in 2012 expressed inter-est in some Hawaii Health Systems Corp. hospitals on the Big Island and Maui, but legislation would be need-ed to let the public-private partnership move forward. So far, that hasn’t happened.

A poll released in October showed most of the commu-nity on board with getting a new hospital, according to Kona Community Hospital CEO Jay Kreuzer. He was optimistic about the chanc-es of getting such enabling legislation.

Creagan is likely to

sponsor a bill requiring pulse oximetry tests, mea-suring the amount of oxy-gen in the blood, for new-borns. The test, which can detect medical problems, is done as a matter of policy at Kona Community Hospital and others, but he’s been requested to try to codify the practice into law, he said.

With 5 percent of his constituents Marshallese, Creagan, who worked there for the Peace Corps and speaks the language fluent-ly, is also looking to their interests. He’s working on a resolution asking the fed-eral government to some-how create a shorter path-way to citizenship. That will not only help the Marshall Island immigrants living in Hawaii, it will also help the state get its share of federal dollars for their presence in the population, he said.

Plus, he added, it’s the right thing to do for resi-dents of an island that was subject to U.S. nuclear tests after World War II.

“What we did to their islands … we’re asking the federal government to make up for some of the things they haven’t done for the Marshallese,” he said. “Many people, they’ve been

here 20 years and they’re still not citizens.”

Although he’s not on the Agriculture Committee, agricultural issues are also important to Creagan, who operates Kiolakaa Mountain Farms in Ka‘u with his wife, Marilyn, a nurse at Kona Community Hospital. He said they’ve operated the 100-acre farm for 20 years.

He’d like to see more support for small and family farmers to help them raise enough food for themselves with enough remaining to sell to neighbors and at farmers markets. That could be accomplished by mak-ing more water and land available for small farmers, and to relax some of the laws restricting the number of dwellings on a farm, he said.

In addition to Kona Community Hospital, making sure the Hawaii Community College at Palamanui campus is built and grows into a four-year university is one of Creagan’s major goals for his legislative career. It’s a

long-term project he hopes to see through past the elec-tion later this year and into a new term.

“The university might have a slower time-line than the public might want,” Creagan noted.

In the shorter term, Creagan is looking for more improvements for the water well installed a few years ago in Ocean View. The water, while potable, is salt-ier than it should be, he said.

He’s proposing a small solar-operated desalination unit with a smaller faucet for people to draw drinking water. He also wants to start a second well to increase the water supply, especially as the state plans a school in the area.

“The reality is, as a leg-islator, you can’t get much done until you’ve been here a year or so,” Creagan said. “I’m very pleased that I was appointed and I’m going to try to do a real good job.”

times what Gallup found when public opinion polling on marijuana began in 1969.

And last month in California, where the legal-ization measure Proposition 19 went down to defeat in 2010, the Field Poll report-ed what it called its first clear majority in favor of legalizing pot — 55 percent of those polled, compared with just 13 percent in 1969.

“What has happened now is we have reached the national tipping point on marijuana reform,” said Stephen Gutwillig, deputy executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group. “Marijuana legalization has gone from an abstract concept to a mainstream issue to a politi-cal reality within a three-year period.”

The Obama administra-tion said last year it would not interfere in states that allow commercial marijua-na sales — as long as they are strictly regulated. But pot remains illegal under federal law, and messages from on high are mixed.

On Wednesday, the chief of operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration, James L. Capra, told a Senate panel, “Going down the path to legalization in this country is reckless and irresponsible.”

But in a lengthy New Yorker interview published Sunday, President Barack Obama said of legaliza-tion in Washington and Colorado, “it’s important for it to go forward because it’s important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished.”

Obama said of marijua-na, “I don’t think it is more dangerous than alcohol.”

The big question, of course, is why attitudes toward marijuana are shift-ing now. And the answer, according to pollsters and drug-policy experts, is a complicated stew of demo-graphics, personal experi-ence, electoral success and the failure of existing drug policy.

To Alison Holcomb, the American Civil Liberties Union attorney who wrote the ballot measure that legalized recreational mari-juana in Washington state, the “enormous jump” in approval of legalization in just a year does not reflect “changes in attitudes about marijuana specifically. Rather, it’s a change in atti-tudes about whether it’s OK to support marijuana law reform.”

In other words, Americans don’t necessarily like pot more than they used to. The percentage of those who have actually tried it has stayed in the 30 per-cent range for three decades. Rather, Americans are sim-ply fed up with criminal penalties they say are nei-ther cost-effective nor just.

Those looking for evi-dence of marijuana’s new momentum need only look to Jan. 8.

That’s the day recre-ational pot supporters deliv-ered around 46,000 signa-tures to election officials in Alaska — 50 percent more than required — putting a measure on legalization one step closer to a vote in the largely Republican state.

That same afternoon in deeply Democratic New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo,

a former prosecutor with a history of opposing the drug, announced a mod-est medical marijuana pilot project.

“Research suggests that medical marijuana can help manage the pain and treatment of cancer and other serious illnesses,” an uncomfortable looking Cuomo said, giving the sub-ject 27 seconds in a nearly 90-minute State of the State address.

As Cuomo noted, an increasing number of states have enacted medical mari-juana laws. California was the first in 1996, followed by 20 others and the District of Columbia.

The embrace of medical marijuana to ease ills includ-ing Alzheimer’s disease and seizures is one reason that support for marijuana has continued to grow. Just lis-ten to the Pepper family.

The drugs that Riverside, Calif., attorney Letitia Pepper, 59, took to slow the progression of her multiple sclerosis caused side effects worse than the disease itself, with its numbness, loss of dexterity and temporary loss of vision.

The only relief, Pepper said, came when she began using marijuana in 2007. Today she is gathering sig-natures to get the California Cannabis Hemp Initiative 2014 on the ballot.

She had grown up, she said, as “a good girl. My homework was done. I knew marijuana was illegal.” She tried it once when she was 25, didn’t like it and left it behind. Until she needed it to help her function.

Pepper’s improvement wasn’t lost on her mother, Lorraine, 85, of Oceanside, Calif. Two years ago, the retired home economics teacher had surgery to repair a hiatal hernia; her stomach had migrated through the hole in her diaphragm into her chest cavity.

“Since that time, my brain hasn’t worked like it used to, and my body hasn’t either,” said the elder Pepper, who opposed mari-juana until her daughter began using it. She takes it as well, in a non-intoxicat-ing liquid form. “Anything that will help, I will try. I don’t think I sense a great improvement, but I have gradually gotten better.”

15-2710 Kauhale St.Pamela Lichty, presi-

dent of the action group and Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, said there are sever-al bills up for consideration this session to change the medical marijuana law in the state.

Supported by the groups, the bills would legalize dis-pensaries for authorized patients and allow doctors who are not a patient’s pri-mary physician to write a prescription.

Both proposals are

intended to increase access, but they also face their own set of challenges, including ensuring that the drug is kept in the hands of those who actually need it for medical purposes.

Still, in regards to dispen-saries, Lichty said Hawaii is in the minority of those with medical marijuana laws.

“We’re one of two or three states (with medical marijuana laws) that don’t have dispensaries,” she said. “We need a safe and legal way for patients to obtain it.”

Bills to decriminalize and legalize recreational use are also on the table, but Lichty said she isn’t confident they will make it far this time around.

“We’re hearing that everybody is not feeling very bold because it’s an election year,” she said.

“We just came through the marriage equality bat-tle. They are shying away from anything that is controversial.”

Hawaii is one of 20 states with medical marijuana

programs. The District of Columbia

also has a medical mari-juana law.

Two states, Colorado and Washington, have legalized recreational use.

The American Civil Liberties Union and Big Island Americans for Safe Access are also sponsors of the meetings.

LIBRARY From front page

“We’re hoping to get the process of planning and design along with community input done by the end of 2014,” said Ruth Bernstone, execu-tive vice president for the Friends of the Library-Waikoloa Region.

The state Legislature allocated $800,000 for the planning and design phase of the library, and, accord-ing to Bernstone, Gov. Neil Abercrombie released $275,000 of those funds.

Bernstone is one of several Waikoloa residents who have been sedu-lous in their pursuit for the area’s first library.

Evans, D-North Kona and Kohala, said when that group of residents gathered at her home, she gave them one piece of advice: get organized.

“I said, ‘If you really want to make things happen, I suggest you become an affiliate of Friends of the Library in Honolulu,’” Evans said.

Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that, according to its web-site, works “to maintain free public libraries in the State of Hawaii, to promote extension of library ser-vices throughout the State of Hawaii and to increase the facilities of the public library system in Hawaii by securing materials beyond the command of the ordinary library budget.”

Evans said the group of volunteers took her suggestions to heart and immediately began to work, collecting money through fundraising efforts, creat-ing bylaws to meet the statewide organiza-tion’s require-ments, and meeting with the state librar-ian until eventually they became an affiliated branch.

From there, the group pressed the state for a bookmobile, a pro-cess Evans said was anything but easy.

“I testified in front of the Board of Education about getting a book mobile up and running in Waikoloa and they said to me, ‘Representative, you need to know one thing: we will never support a bookmobile,’” she said.

But eventually, the board did, and Evans said the state librarian worked with the Waikoloa Friends of the Library branch to acquire a vehicle that was “sitting in Kona in a garage for several years.”

“The librarian just used it for storage,” Evans said.

The group cleared its first hurdle, but from there its members had to figure out how to move the vehi-cle from Kona to Waikoloa.

Bette Green, presi-dent of the Friends of the Library-Waikoloa Region, recalled the moment as if it were yesterday.

“We got two new bat-teries to get it started,” she said. “It was the best thing the way it happened. Bless its pointed little head! It started right up like it knew it was suppose to.”

Green said the Waikoloa Village Association pro-vided a space to park the bookmobile, and from there it became a place to swap books, talk story and eventually connect to wireless Internet.

“But we are still the only Friends of the Library in the state without our own library,” she said.

Green said the book-mobile was a good first step, but in the end the Friends of the Library wants what it came for.

“We are a rural area and definitely are not served when it comes to the state providing library services,” she said. “And this area is growing…”

According to U.S. Census data, the popula-tion of Waikoloa has grown by 1,556 from 2000-10, increasing from 4,806 to 6,362. With a steadily growing population, Green contends a library is and will become a neces-sity for the community.

“We as a village want a place where we

can meet,” she said.Bernstone said she wants

the library to be a com-munity center, as well.

“We see it as a place where we can record inter-esting people’s life history,” she said. “And a place that will provide reading programs for children, and where people can use the computer. Right now, we have Wi-Fi at the book-mobile but people have to bring their own computers.

“It’ll be a ben-efit for everybody in the community.”

Now that the group is entering the design phase for the project, Green said she would like to see the new library be “totally green.”

“I want it as green as it can be, or as green as the state can make it,” she said.

The Waikoloa Friends of the Library are also taking suggestions from the community Friday at the Waikoloa Village office area.

Evans said it’s been a long journey and she is looking forward to entering the next phase of the project.

“They’ve done it step by step by step,” she said. “They’ve never lost the desire for it. I think this community is so ready for a library.”

EVANS

T he reality of rising American inequality is stark. Since the late

1970s, real wages for the bot-tom half of the workforce have stagnated or fallen while incomes of the top 1 percent nearly quadrupled (and the incomes of the top 0.1 percent have risen even more). While we can and should have a seri-ous debate about what to do about this situation, the simple fact — American capitalism as currently constituted is undermining the foundations of middle-class society — shouldn’t be up for argument.

But it is, of course. Partly, this reflects Upton Sinclair’s famous dictum: It is difficult to get a man to understand some-thing when his salary depends on his not understanding it. But it also, I think, reflects distaste for the implications of the numbers, which seem almost like an open invitation to class warfare — or, if you prefer, a demonstration class warfare is already underway, with the plutocrats on offense.

The result has been a deter-mined campaign of statistical obfuscation. At its cruder end, this campaign comes close to outright falsification; at its more sophisticated end, it involves using fancy footwork to propagate what I think of as the myth of the deserving rich.

For an example of de facto falsification, one need look no further than a recent col-umn by Bret Stephens of The

Wall Street Journal, that first accused President Barack Obama (wrongly) of making a factual error, then proceeded to assert rising inequality was no big deal because everyone has been making big gains.

Why, incomes for the bottom fifth of the U.S. population have risen 186 percent since 1979!

If this sounds wrong to you, it should: That’s a nomi-nal number, not corrected for inflation. You can find the inflation-corrected number in the same Census Bureau table; it shows incomes for the bot-tom fifth actually falling. Oh, and for the record, at the time of writing, this elementary error had not been corrected on The Journal’s website.

OK, that’s what crude obfuscation looks like. What about the fancier version?

I’ve noted before conserva-tives seem fixated on the notion poverty is basically the result of character problems among the poor. This might once have had a grain of truth to it, but for the past three decades and more the main obstacle facing the poor has been the

lack of jobs paying decent wages. But the myth of the undeserving poor persists, and so does a counterpart myth, that of the deserving rich.

The story goes like this: America’s affluent are afflu-ent because they made the right lifestyle choices. They got themselves good educa-tions, they got and stayed married and so on. Basically, affluence is a reward for adher-ing to the Victorian virtues.

What’s wrong with this story? Even on its own terms, it postulates opportunities that don’t exist. For example, how are children of the poor, or even the working class, supposed to get a good edu-cation in an era of declining support for and sharply rising tuition at public universities? Even social indicators such as family stability are, to an important extent, economic phenomena: Nothing takes a toll on family values like lack of employment opportunities.

But the main thing about this myth is it misidentifies the winners from growing inequal-ity. White-collar professionals, even if married to each other, are only doing OK. The big winners are a much smaller group. The Occupy move-ment popularized the concept of the “1 percent,” which is a good shorthand for the rising elite, but if anything includes too many people: Most of the gains of the top 1 percent have in fact gone to an even tinier

elite, the top 0.1 percent.And who are these lucky

few? Mainly, they’re execu-tives of some kind, especially, though not only, in finance. You can argue about whether these people deserve to be paid so well, but one thing is clear: They didn’t get where they are simply by being prudent, clean and sober.

So, how can the myth of the deserving rich be sustained? Mainly through a strategy of distortion by dilution.

You almost never see apolo-gists for inequality willing to talk about the 1 percent, let alone the really big winners. Instead, they talk about the top 20 percent, or at best the top 5 percent. These might sound like innocent choices, but they’re not because they involve lumping in married lawyers with the wolves of Wall Street. The DiCaprio movie of that name, by the way, is wildly popular with finance types, who cheer on the title character — another clue to the realities of our new Gilded Age.

Again, I know these reali-ties make some people, not all of them, hired guns for the plutocracy, uncomfortable and they’d prefer to paint a dif-ferent picture. But even if the facts have a well-known popu-list bias, they’re still the facts — and they must be faced.

■ Notable quotes

A step forwardOn the heels of increased

property taxes, motor vehicle registration fees and rental fees for county facilities, it is encouraging to hear discus-sion of removing the cap on the counties’ share of the tran-sient accommodations tax and giving counties the option to impose a 1 percent surcharge to the general excise tax.

They are a good start to long overdue changes.

The state of Hawaii Constitution allows the coun-ties limited tools for raising their own revenue, mainly property taxes, a county gasoline tax and various user fees. The particular statute dates back to 1978, four years before the introduction of the IBM Personal Computer.

The Kenoi administra-tion has managed Hawaii County with nearly $9

million less this year than in 2008 and the mayor gener-ously pledged to donate his pay raise to the United Way.

Unfortunately, forecasts are for declining property tax revenue (about $7 million less for Hawaii County alone).

It is time counties have more flexibility to broaden their tax bases beyond 1978 limitations. Increasing the number of meth-ods to raise revenue can maybe allow property taxes and fees to remain steady or decrease!

With each county an eco-nomics laboratory, innova-tive ideas are sure to help the different counties meet their different needs.

Residents and businesses can get relief through the state tax system as credit line items by county, or sim-ply by increasing the value of tax exemptions for all.

The technology and frame-work already exist. After three

and a half decades, it is time to change and these two ideas worthy of implementation.

Protect barn owlsIt is sad to see a gov-

ernment-backed program to eradicate the cattle egret and barn owl in Hawaii.

Cattle egrets eat coquis and grasshoppers and loads of nonbeneficial insects.

Barn owls eat an average of between six and 10 rats and mice every night. This translates to well more than 2,000-3,560 mice and rats con-sumed per barn owl a year.

Yes, they are non-native, and so are taro, ducks, cats, avocados, mangoes and more importantly, people and rats.

Yes, perhaps a native bird might occasionally be

eaten by a barn owl, but barn owls are night preda-tors. Far more birds are eaten by feral and domestic cats.

Let your representatives know you don’t support this kill. Also, go to http://regulations.gov/#!home Docket FWS-HQ-MB-2013-0070.

Time is of the essence, as comments must be received by Feb. 2.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day always coincides with the beginning of the spring semester at my col-

lege. So, during the weekend that includes the holiday, I usually ask my students to read King’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Ordinarily, a few of them have seen it before, but it’s new to most, and for many it’s a bit of an eye-opener.

King went to Birmingham, Ala., in 1963 to support nonviolent protests of the city’s pervasive racism and was promptly thrown in jail for parading without a per-mit. Eight white clergymen published a letter saying, of course, they agreed with King all men deserve equality and, eventu-ally, equality and freedom will come.

But they criticized King’s methods, arguing reform should occur through negotiation and in the courts, not as the result of public protests. They asked, essentially, What’s the hurry?

“Letter from Birmingham Jail” is King’s eloquent answer.

To most of us, slavery is an abstraction, a brutal element of an economic system abolished a century before King marched in Birmingham. But I want my students to understand, in fact, King was battling a more insidious, but no less destructive, institu-tion, a systematic and unequal segregation that persisted in much of America well into the lifetimes of citizens still alive today.

Here’s an example: King tells the clergy-men who objected to his methods maybe they’ll understand the urgency of his mission “when you take a cross-country drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your auto-mobile because no hotel will accept you.”

This complaint, among a long list, in King’s “Letter,” of worse injustices suffered by American blacks, reminds me of “The Negro Travelers’ Green Book,” a travel guide published by Victor H. Green from 1936-64.

Green saw a need for a guide list-ing hotels, restaurants, gas stations and other businesses “negroes” could patron-ize “without embarrassment,” clearly a euphemism for more serious insults and threats blacks endured under Jim Crow.

The 1949 edition says, “The Jewish press has long published information about places that are restricted and there are numerous publications that give the gentile whites all kinds of information.” And the 1956 edi-tion understates: “The White has had no difficulties in getting accommodations, but with the Negro it has been different.”

Perusing these guides is instruc-tive: I don’t know how far the “Green Book” was able to penetrate local mar-kets, but the 1949 edition lists only eight restaurants and two hotels in Corpus Christi, Texas, my hometown, traveling blacks could use “without embarrass-ment.” One of the hotels is the YMCA.

By 1956, only six restaurants are listed. And the “Green Book” can vouch only for Horace Crecy’s Tourist Home as a place where a negro trav-eler can get a good night’s sleep.

No wonder King and other blacks some-times wound up spending nights in their cars.

Protests of injustices such as these brought King to Birmingham, landed him in jail and eventually cost him his life. His “Letter” makes for good reading every year close to his birthday because it reminds us of the persistent nature of racism.

Slavery is a cancer; you either eradicate it or it kills you. But the kind of racism King fought is a chronic disease that goes into remission but is difficult to cure.

Things changed a lot since then, but “Letter from Birmingham Jail” reminds us of how recently the battle for racial jus-tice was still being waged in our culture.

Sometimes, political entities and other institutions have issued apolo-gies to blacks for their participation in the injustices King died to eliminate. In general, apologies feel like too little, too late. As a white man, it’s not my place to say whether apologies are called for.

But the most valuable thing we can do is not to apologize, but to remember.

Lions to collect used eyeglasses Saturday in Hilo, Hawi, KonaHawaii’s fifth-annual “Lions in Sight”

Statewide Eyeglass & Hearing Aid Collection is set for Saturday. Big Island collections will be done in Kailua-Kona, Hawi and Hilo.

Lions clubs worldwide will perform community service projects as part of the “Lions In Sight” initiative to raise public awareness of the role Lions clubs play in their communities.

As spring cleaning gets underway, the Hawaii Lions are asking people to look through dresser drawers and closets for used eyeglasses and hearing aids and donate them to the Lions Recycle For

Sight program.The glasses will be distributed to

those in need within developing countries where eye care is often unaffordable and inaccessible. Most recently, 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses were distributed to villag-ers throughout the mountainous terrain of war-torn Afghanistan by Hawaii Lions Club members. In most developing coun-tries, an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s wages, and a single eye doc-tor might serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people.

The glasses will be cleaned, catego-rized by prescription and prepared for

distribution by Lions, Leos and other groups. According to the World Health Organization, the eyesight of approxi-mately one-fourth of the world’s popula-tion can be improved through the use of a corrective lens.

In addition to the eyeglasses, hearing aids will be also collected, cleaned and tested for local distribution.

Lions are known for their commitment to being “Knights of the Blind in the Crusade against Darkness,” a challeng-ing statement made by Helen Keller in 1925. Eyeglass collection is a year round program.

Collection sites

Lions Club members will collect used eyeglasses and hearing aids Saturday at various locations on the Big Island.• 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at Hilo and Kona Walmarts; and KTA-Puainako.• 8 a.m.-noon at the Kohala Market Day, under the banyan trees across from the Hawi Post Office.

Pohakuloa Training Area Command Sgt. Maj. Jonathan Lutgens, left, and PTA Commander Lt. Col. Eric Shwedo, right, congratulate Anthony Ortogero of the PTA Range Control staff on a job well done, as they present him the PTA Employee of the Quarter Award.

Anthony Ortogero named PTA Employee of QuarterHilo resident Anthony Ortogero

was named Pohakuloa Training Area Employee of the Quarter for his exceptional contributions while serv-ing on the PTA Range Control staff.

During a period of several years, Ortogero vastly improved the opera-tion of the ranges by initiating many unique solar upgrades, while evalu-ating the safety aspects of all train-ing/jobs conducted at PTA’s ranges, noted Pohakuloa Commander Lt. Col. Eric Shwedo.

Ortogero has taken the lead as the initial journeyman to introduce a new standard for operating pro-cedures and the mission of range maintenance, via on-the-job training for new PTA range employees.

Ortogero’s solar energy knowl-edge and skills led to the design and

new construction of a “line row con-cept” that saved range maintenance staffers invaluable time in trouble-shooting and maintenance down time since its implementation.

Ranges are now able to operate at a moment’s notice and power issues are virtually nonexistent.

“We are lucky to have Tony here at PTA. He is exceptionally humble, but he has made a huge contribution to keeping soldiers and Marines safe in combat training for over 20 train-ing years,” said Shwedo.

“(He) has been a valuable mem-ber of the PTA team since 1992. His perseverance in striving to elimi-nate job hazards and analysis dur-ing key project planning stages has immensely decreased injuries at PTA ranges.”

Parker debaterswin 4th trophy

Parker School’s debate team returned home from the Dec. 21 Punahou School Speech and Debate Non-Qualifying Tournament on Oahu with the sweepstakes trophy for largest number of ballots won. Parker earned 65 ballots compared to second-place Punahou’s 46.

Parker has now won this particular sweepstakes tro-phy at all three tournaments so far this school year, a first in the school’s debate record.

At the previous tourna-ment at St. Louis School on Oahu in November, Parker won two trophies, one for highest percentage of wins and one for the largest num-ber of ballots won. The team has won four out of six possible sweepstakes tro-phies throughout the three tournaments.

Thirty Parker School debaters attended the Punahou tournament, in which 20 schools partici-pated. The top results for Parker students were as fol-lows: in Beginning Public Forum Debate, Ryp Ring and Brian Toubman scored 5-1; in Novice Lincoln-Douglas Debate, Savannah Harriman-Pote scored 5-1; and in Championship Lincoln-Douglas, Carrie Hiller fin-ished 5-1.

On Jan. 17-18, Parker School hosted the Neighbor Island Speech and Debate Qualifying Tournament. Twenty Oahu school teams traveled to Waimea to compete.

University of Hawaii at Hilo Chancellor Don Straney honored two individuals with special awards presented dur-ing fall 2013 commencement.

Mike Purvis, a senior computer science major, received the inaugural Community Spirit Award, which includes a $500 cash prize. The award was estab-lished last September by Edward Yamasaki, a mem-ber of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team in World War II, and recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in applied research, learn-ing and innovation in their respective fields of study.

Purvis is team captain of UH-Hilo’s Team Poli`ahu that won the 2013 U.S. Microsoft Imagine Cup Championship and partici-pated in the Imagine Cup Worldwide Finals in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Chancellor’s Special Recognition Award was presented to Dr. David Hammes, professor of eco-nomics, who retired at the end of the fall 2013 semester. Hammes received the UH Board of Regent’s Teaching Excellence Award in 2003.

In addition to his teach-ing, he conducted a num-ber of economic feasibility and cost-of-living studies for UH-Hilo and the UH System.

Hammes also serves on the Board of Directors for Hospice of Hilo and was trea-surer during the successful fundraising drive that led to construction of a new care facility near the university’s campus.

HONOLULU — Com-ing into this Univer-sity of Hawaii men’s basketball season,

it was obvious much of the Rainbow Warriors’ success would ride on the shoulders of forwards Christian Stand-hardinger and Isaac Fotu.

Especially with cen-ter Vander Joaquim’s (13.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game) eligibility expired, the health and steady produc-tion of Standhardinger (All-Big West Conference first team) and Fotu (Big West Co-Freshman of the Year) would be even more critical.

And that has proved true, as Standhardinger (18.2 ppg, 7.6 rpg) and Fotu (13.8 ppg, 6.5 rpg) have indeed been the anchors of a 12-5 start.

Another critical element is the health of senior swing-man Brandon Spearman, whose absence due to an ankle sprain largely con-tributed to a late five-game losing streak last season.

Spearman started this season with another ankle sprain, but fortunately he only missed the first three games and has averaged 11.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in start-ing all 14 games since.

But as we saw during UH’s opening Big West road trip, especially at Cal State Northridge on Jan. 11, the performance of junior point guard Keith Shamburger is also a crucial factor that could make or break the Rainbow Warriors’ future.

This is Shamburger’s first season suiting up for Hawaii, but having started 63 games in two years at San Jose State and practiced with the Rainbow Warriors last season as a redshirt, he brings valu-able experience to the equation – not to mention reliable ball-handling and court awareness.

What was a pleasant surprise, and maybe something everyone took for granted until a week ago, is Shamburger’s role as a shooter and scorer (8.8 ppg).

UH already has four potential big-time scorers in Standhardinger, Fotu, Spearman and junior college transfer

Rice, Sanders try to rekindle interest in Pro BowlBy OSKAR GARCIA

Associated Press

HONOLULU — Deion Sanders is giv-ing Jerry Rice one concession as Pro Bowl week begins: The record-setting wide receiver will call the coin toss today that starts the process of picking teams.

Besides that, the Hall of Fame corner-back claims he has the upper hand under the game’s new schoolyard-style format.

“I think it is going to be a blowout,” Sanders said. “I don’t think Jerry has strategized.”

Rice’s response: “That’s not going to happen. I have a pretty good mindset of

where I want to go.”The Rice-Sanders rivalry is just one of

several moves the NFL is using to try to rekindle interest in the Pro Bowl, set for Sunday in Hawaii. The game has been criticized as too lax in recent years by fans

and even Commissioner Roger Goodell, putting the future of the game in question.

The biggest change — a two-day draft today and Wednesday that will determine teams in a new “unconferenced” game — responds by targeting player egos and fan love for fantasy football.

Instead of briefly mentioning a player’s accomplishments during a quick cameo in the all-star game, Rice and Sanders will make choices that reveal the players they believe to be the best among the best — even all-stars don’t want to be picked last in a game with no bad players.

“You want to embrace good-natured ribbing and chop busting,” said Mike

Muriano, senior coordinating producer at NFL Network, which is running the draft and televising its second part live.

The league was announcing replace-ments throughout Monday for players missing the game because of injury or the Super Bowl. Andrew Luck of Indianapolis and Nick Foles of Philadelphia are replac-ing the quarterbacks in the Super Bowl, Denver’s Peyton Manning and Seattle’s Russell Wilson. Running backs Eddie Lacy and Alfred Morris will step in for Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch, while Alshon Jeffery and Larry Fitzgerald

Chriistian Liberty’s Louis Moylan (13) chases down the soccer ball as Waiakea’s Ty Yamamoto (23) moves in during a BIIF boys match Monday at Waiakea. The visiting Canefire beat the Warriors 3-0.

Canefire stop Waiakea

By MATT GERHARTTribune-Herald sports writer

Louis Moylan started at strik-er, which theoretically gave him one half to try and make an impact offensively for Christian Liberty’s boys soccer team.

It didn’t even take him three minutes.

Moylan, however, hardly needs to play up top to score goals. The Canefire’s do-it-all senior moved back to sweeper and tacked on

another one Monday during a 3-0 victory at Waiakea.

How versatile is Moylan?“We can probably put him

anywhere,” coach Troy Rimel said. “It’s his maturity. He can handle it.”

The Canefire (7-2 Big Island Interscholastic Federation) appear set at goalkeeper, where

Kiyoshi Kaili stood out dur-ing the latter stages of a vic-tory that vaulted them into first place in the Division II stand-ings. Christian Liberty, which was short-handed and still trying to recuperate from a 2-1 loss at Konawaena on Saturday, leads Honokaa by a point and controls its destiny in the race for the the top seed in the six-team play-offs. An outright regular-season champion also will garner an automatic berth in the Hawaii High School Athletic Association tournament.

MELBOURNE, Australia — When the draw for the Australian Open was made, it wasn’t Roger Federer who was being widely touted as the prime contender to claim an 18th major title.

All that hype surrounded Serena Williams, but she was knocked out in the fourth round.

Federer is still three match wins away from that mile-stone, but after his 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 demolition of No. 10-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Monday night, it’s clear he’s up for the challenge.

On a day when No. 3 Maria

Sharapova was upset by No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova, follow-ing top-ranked Williams out of the tournament and opening up the women’s draw for defend-ing champion Victoria Azarenka, the leading male contenders on the heavily stacked top half advanced to the quarterfinals.

Progressing along with Federer were top-ranked Rafael Nadal, who had a 7-6 (3), 7-5, 7-6 (3) win over Kei Nishikori — though he was broken twice

and got a time violation in the third set — and Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, who overcame a racket-smashing, frustrating finish to the third set to beat Stephane Robert 6-1, 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-2.

Now for the harder part.Federer is back in the quar-

terfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time since last year’s French Open — equaling Jimmy Connors’ Open-era record with his 41st trip to the last eight in a major. He next plays Murray, a three-time Australian Open finalist. A win could set up a semifinal against Nadal, who next plays first-time major

quarterfinalist Grigor Dimitrov.A win there for Federer would

likely set up a final against three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic — the only other man who has won four Australian titles in the Open era. Djokovic is playing his quarterfinal today against No. 8 Stan Wawrinka.

“It’s a tough thing to do. I don’t know if it’s been done before,” sixth-seeded Federer said of his tough road to the title. “Then again, if you don’t embrace that challenge, you might as well not enter the draw. You might as well stay at home

Federer reaches semifinals, looks like contender

Urban Knights tip Vuls Tall Forthan leads AAU women to a 74-64 victory

By BILL O’REARTribune-Herald sports editor

Krystal Forthan scored 20 points and Zoie Sheng had 18 to lead Academy of Art University to a 74-64 win over the University of Hawaii at Hilo on Monday night.

The Pacific West Conference women’s bas-ketball game was played in San Francisco. In the late game, the Vulcans battled the host Urban Knights in a men’s contest.

The UHH teams con-tinue their four-game road-trip Thursday, playing at Dominican University in San Rafael, Calif.

Forthan, a 6-foot-4 soph-omore, also had a team-high 10 rebounds and six blocked shots to spark AAU (11-6 overall, 8-1 PacWest) while teammate Sha ‘Nice Storey added 12 points, including two 3-pointers.

Junior guard Kirstie Williams led the Vulcans (6-7, 5-4) with 19 points, including 3 of 6 3-pointers. Junior forward McKenzie Mangino added 15 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. But UHH’s lead-ing scorer, senior Kamie Imai, struggled from the field, hitting just 3 of 11 field goals and finished with seven points and nine rebounds.

The Urban Knights led 41-31 at the intermission before each team scored 33 points over the final 20 minutes.

“They’re a good team and when we made a run at them in the second half, they made some shots and did the things they needed to do to get the win,” UHH coach david Kaneshiro said.

replace Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas.

Rice and Sanders aren’t being too specific about how they’ll make their picks, though Sanders has said he doesn’t want any Pro Bowlers on his team who have played in more than four all-star games.

“You want what you want,” Sanders said. “I know the guys that are going to cover. No matter what, they’re not cutting no deals.”

Rice said he’s not paying Sanders too much attention because his former 49ers teammate could be trying to misdirect him.

“That might be his strate-gy — he might go the oppo-site way and try to select some veterans,” Rice said.

Rice and Sanders have done plenty of talking lead-ing up to the draft, even offering to suit up against one another on the field. Rice says the league won’t let it happen but Sanders says nothing is final until Goodell says so.

“He’s going to be hurting if we suit up,” Rice said.

According to STATS, Sanders had four inter-ceptions in games played against Rice’s teams, going back to 1989. Rice, mean-while, had 60 catches for 1,051 yards and 11 touch-downs against Sanders’ teams.

Sanders covered Rice on four pass attempts in 1995 and after, when STATS began tracking defensive players targeted on given plays. Rice had no catch-es and Sanders had no interceptions.

Both players say they’ll base their Pro Bowl picks in part on personal knowledge of the players and their atti-tudes toward the game.

“I’m looking for the guys that are really hungry and want to put on a show in Hawaii,” said Rice, who said he expects to have a more balanced team than Sanders.

Sanders said he doesn’t want to get caught up in making picks to counter Rice — a common strategy in fantasy.

“You could make a deci-sion based on what you want or you can make a decision based on what you

need,” he said.The draft itself includes

several wrinkles that offer room for strategy. The win-ner of the coin toss has a big advantage if he chooses to pick his captains, either the tandem of Drew Brees and Robert Quinn or Jamaal Charles and J.J. Watt. Not only will he get to pick the first players, he’ll also be able to force a trade on the other team of any player taken after the fifth round on Wednesday.

Another possible strategy will be to try to force defen-sive players to play against their real-life NFL team-mates in the Pro Bowl, mak-ing them decide whether to play even softer than they might otherwise.

Muriano said players have responded in a wide range of ways to that pros-pect, with some relishing the chance to take on their usual teammates.

Rice said it’s just one of many ways to look at the game.

“I’ve been thinking about this for a long, long time,” Rice said.

Chiefs’ Johnson,Smith added to roster

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson and quarterback Alex Smith were cho-sen Monday to replace 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman and Patriots quar-terback Tom Brady in the Pro Bowl.

The two substitutions means Kansas City will be sending 10 players to Hawaii.

Bowman tore the anterior cruciate and medial collater-al ligaments in his left knee in Sunday’s NFC champi-onship loss to Seattle. Brady bowed out of the all-star game one day after New England lost to Denver in the AFC championship.

This will be Johnson’s third straight Pro Bowl, while Smith will be headed to his first.

They’ll be joined in Hawaii by Chiefs left tack-le Branden Albert, safety Eric Berry, running back Jamaal Charles, cornerback Brandon Flowers, defensive tackle Dontari Poe, punt returner Dexter McCluster and linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.

and watch other guys battle it out.

“That’s what I like. I like playing the best … and you need to take it to them.”

Federer certainly did that against Tsonga, barely dropping a point on serve in the first set and putting the 2008 Australian Open finalist under pressure right away with an early break. The 32-year-old Swiss star was so relentless that Tsonga, aggravated at not being able to threaten Federer at all, screamed and smacked a ball into the crowd after losing an exchange of close volleys.

From Tsonga’s side, it looked like he was facing the Federer of old — before the crisis of confidence,

the new racket, and before his record streak of reach-ing the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive majors came to a halt with a shocking second-round defeat at Wimbledon.

“No, I was not surprised because, you know, when you play Roger, you expect him at this level,” Tsonga said. “You know he’s able to play like this, so you always expect it.”

Since winning his last Australian title in 2010, Federer has lost in the semifinals each year at Melbourne Park — includ-ing last year’s defeat to Murray, who has an 11-9 edge in head-to-heads.

“It’s good to see he took care of his draw, and here

we are again,” Federer said. “I’m looking forward to the match, I must say. We had an interesting year last year with some ups and downs. It’s a good start to the sea-son for both of us already.”

Murray had minor back surgery in September and is keeping his expectations in check in only his second tournament since.

“I said at the start of the tournament, I can’t honestly say my expectations are as high as if I’d been playing for the last four months,” Murray said. “But I’m not far away from winning the event. Anyone’s that’s in the quarters is close.”

Azarenka became a big favorite to win a third con-secutive Australian title

when Sharapova, returning from a long layoff with a right shoulder injury, lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to Cibulkova in the first match of the day. Cibulkova completed a set of major quarterfinals with her best run in Australia and will next meet No. 11 Simona Halep.

Azarenka played the second match on Rod Laver Arena and extend-ed her winning streak at Melbourne Park to 18 with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over No. 13-seeded Sloane Stephens, whom she also beat in a contentious semifinal last year. She will next play No. 5 Agnieszka Radwanska, who finished off day eight with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Garbine Muguruza.

and get that birth to states,” Moylan said.

He and senior striker Nakaiya Kerr, who netted a goal and an assist, wast-ed little time in using their speed to take advantage of the Warriors’ slick, new turf field.

“It’s real nice and smooth,” Moylan said. “It’s kind of tiring because it’s a really, really long field.”

Kerr registered 10 of his team’s 19 shots, but he started off the afternoon with a crossing pass, which Moylan one-timed into the net from about 10 yards out in the third minute.

Striker? Check.Kerr ran down Caedan

Cambra’s throughball in the 23rd minute and con-nected for his team-high 22nd goal of the season as Christian Liberty led 2-0 at the halftime.

Rimel wasn’t particular-ly enthused with the room the Canefire yielded the Warriors’ Miles Marshall and Hajime Hayano, so he moved Moylan to the

backline, allowing Cambra to navigate the midield. It was a bit of a role reveral for Moylan, who usually starts in the back and moves for-ward later in the matches.

“I prefer sweeper,” he said. “I like playing defense.”

Moylan spent much of the second half clear-ing balls and making sure no one got behind him, but he netted his 12th goal of the season midway through with a 40-yard blast on a direct kick.

Sweeper? Check.“The thing we like about

him in the back is he’s a coach,” Rimel said. “He’s teaching and instructing back there.”

Goalkeeper Chris Wung made his best save of match for Waiakea (6-4-1) when he stonewalled a streaking Kekoa Mundo, who fell hard on the play and had to exit the match. That left Christian Liberty without a bench player, and opened up the field for the Warriors and their bumper crop of

freshmen — Max Adolf, Gehrig Octavio and Michael Scott — who were repeat-edly denied by Kaili.

The senior finished with nine saves, several of the dazzling variety. His favor-ite came when he dove to his left and into the air to deny Octavio.

“I trust my defense and work with them,” Kaili said. “If a striker sets themselves up, I trust the defense will cover the other post for me and get anything in front of the ball. That forces the striker to shoot to one side.”

Waiakea’s Ty Yamamoto also misfired on a breakaway.

The Warriors have lost two straight and are in dan-ger of falling to the fourth seed in the Division I play-offs, which would likely set up another trip to Kealakehe in the semifinals. The Waveriders beat Waiakea 6-0 earlier this season at home.

Coach David Urakami said his team played well in spurts, which is starting

to become a theme for the season.

“They compete, but the hardest part is getting them be committed for that (80) minutes,” he said. “They’ve come along way but I don’t want them to be content with that.”

GirlsWaiakea 9, East-Pac 0:

Cheylee Octavio netted a hat trick as the host Warriors moved back into a tie with Hilo atop the wide-open Division I race.

Starcia Deponte scored twice, and Waiakea (7-2-1) also got goals from Jordan Melchor, Keisha Sato and Kaylee Valentino.

Melchor and Kaelee Carvalho combined on the shutout against East-Pac (3-7), which is line to be the fourth seed in the Division II playoffs.

Waiakea, which lost control of its destiny last Saturday in losing to Hawaii Prep, ends the regular sea-son at home Saturday against Konawaena, which is only two points out first.

“I thought we played hard. We just didn’t do some of the things we had been doing well — we made some defensive mistakes and had some turnovers in the first half when they got out in transition and took a 10-point lead.”

The Urban Knights extended their lead to 18 points in the final half before the Vulcans closed the gap.

“We got it down to eight points,” Kaneshiro said. “But they responded to get the win.”

AAU held a big advan-tage at the free-throw line, hitting 20 of 29 attempts while UHH sank 8 of 13.

The Urban Knights shot 37.5 percent (24 of 64) from

the field and 35 percent (6 of 17) on treys. The Vulcans hit 37 percent (25 of 67) from the floor, 30 percent (6 of 20) on 3-pointers and their 61.5 percent from the line.

UAA also had 42 rebounds, 16 assists, 10 turnovers, 6 blocked shots and 10 steals compared to UHH’s 45, 13, 15, 1 and 3, respectively.

Despite the loss, Kaneshiro feels good about his team’s focus.

“I think our team is com-ing together, and gaining confidence,” he said. “I know the coaching staff is confident that we can play with anyone in the confer-ence on a given night. But we have to come out and

play consistent every night, with a lot of effort, and do all the good things we can do.”

MenAAU 75, UHH 63:

Aaron Anderson scored 22 points and Aaron Aikman added 21 to lead the Urban Knights (4-12 overall, 2-7 PacWest) over the Vulcans (3-12, 0-9).

Junior Joey Rodriguez scored 15 points to lead struggling UHH, which led 37-36 at the intermission. But the hosts outscored the Vuls 39-26 in the second half to pull away.

Dominique Campbell followed Rodriguez with 14 points. Lucas Swanson (3 of 5 treys) had 11, Darnell Williams 10 and Brandon

Thomas nine for the Vulcans.

AAU shot 44 percent (26 of 59) from the field, 56 percent (5 of 9) on 3-point-ers and 58 percent (18 of 31) from the free-throw line.

UHH hit 34 percent (22 of 64) from the floor, 32 percent (7 of 22) on treys and 63 percent (12 of 19) from the line.

The Urban Knights also had 41 rebounds, 17 assists, 8 turnovers, 4 blocked shots and six steals compared to the Vuls’ 46, 13, 14, 6 and 1, respectively.

Thomas had a game-high 14 rebounds for UHH while Campbell had 10 boards. Alexis Moore led the Urban Knights with 10 rebounds, all on the defensive glass.

VULCANS From previous page

TENNIS From previous page

Garrett Nevels — each of whom is capable of a 20-point outing — but the scoring contributions of Shamburger had been a nice bonus: 17 points in a victory over Western Michigan, 15 points in another win at Northern Arizona, 10 points in the non-conference finale victory over Omaha.

Unfortunately, as is often the case, Shamburger’s true scoring value may not have been appreciated until his pro-duction slipped on the road. In the Big West opener at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Jan. 9, Shamburger had a goose egg in the points column (0 for 3 field goals, missed his only free throw attempt) with four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two turnovers in 29 minutes as the Rainbow Warriors fell, 77-65.

Two nights later, he fin-ished with just three points on 1-for-9 shooting (1 for 8 on 3-pointers) with four assists, two rebounds, two steals and three turnovers in 26 minutes as Hawaii came up short, 79-78.

Shamburger’s aggregate line for the two losses: 1 for 12 field goals (1 for 11 on 3-pointers), one free throw attempt (missed), three points, seven assists, five turnovers.

Surely there were other reasons the Rainbow Warriors lost — Spearman scored only five points at Cal Poly, and Cal State Northridge converted 28 of 31 free throws — but the lack of production from Shamburger was notice-able since Standhardinger, Fotu and Nevels had decent games and Spearman

scored 15 at Northridge.Shamburger was under-

standably shaken up that week after being informed of the sudden death of a close aunt, but his shooting struggles actually began before that (2 for 10 vs. Omaha, 1 for 3 against Oregon State). He also has been fighting through a hip flexor injury.

Last Saturday night, Shamburger appeared to rediscover his stroke: 3 for 6 from the field (includ-ing 2 for 4 from beyond the arc) eight points, six assists, three rebounds, one steal and no turnovers in 27 minutes as UH won going away, 100-69.

“Keith was calm and in tune with the game,” Arnold said. “It was good to see him back. We are so much more danger-ous when they gotta guard him out there.”

Backup point guard Quincy Smith (6.1 ppg, 3 assists per game) actu-ally has very good overall numbers and had seven points, seven assists and three steals at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, but he is a scorer more than a shooter and is still in his first NCAA Division I season, thus lacking Shamburger’s experience.

Smith, along with backup center Davis Rozitis and reserve swing-man Aaron Valdes, will no doubt play key roles as the season progresses.

But as we saw during the Rainbow Warriors’ first road trip, Shamburger’s production as the start-ing point guard and team’s fifth-leading scorer could ultimately mean the difference between winning and losing.

Jayhawks jump seven spotsBy JIM O’CONNELLAP Basketball Writer

Arizona and Syracuse are the top two teams in The Associated Press Top 25 for a seventh straight week.

The Wildcats (18-0) are again the runaway No. 1, receiving 61 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel. The Orange (18-0) got the other No. 1 votes.

Michigan State moved up one place to third while Villanova jumped two spots to fourth. Wichita State, at 19-0 the only other unbeat-en in Division I, stayed fifth and was followed by Florida, San Diego State, Kansas, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Kansas has beaten three straight ranked opponents and jumped from 15th to No. 8.

Michigan, at No. 21, and Kansas State, at 22nd, moved into the poll this week, replacing Creighton, Colorado and UCLA. There was a tie for 25th last week.

Breaking down this week’s Associated Press college basketball poll:

KANSAS’ STREAK: Kansas has won four straight games since los-ing to San Diego State. The last three have been over ranked teams — No. 25 Kansas State, No. 8 Iowa State, No. 9 Oklahoma State — and the Jayhawks had a chance to make it four Top 25 opponents in a row when they faced No. 24 Baylor Monday night.

Kansas has the most wins over ranked teams this

season with an early-sea-son victory over then-No. 4 Duke in November.

Six schools have three wins over ranked teams: Iowa State, Kansas State, North Carolina, San Diego State, Syracuse and Wisconsin. North Carolina is the only one of those not currently in the Top 25.

WELCOME BACK: Michigan and Kansas State are the newcomers to this week’s poll and both have already been ranked this season.

No. 21 Michigan was seventh in the preseason Top 25 and was ranked for the first four weeks of the regular season before falling out when it lost to Charlotte and Duke in a three-game span.

No. 22 Kansas State moved into the poll two weeks ago at No. 25, fell out after losing to Kansas, and then returned this week.

HAWKEYE HIGH: Iowa is in the top 10 for the first time since the poll of Jan. 1, 2002, when the Hawkeyes were ranked ninth. Iowa jumped from 14th to 10th follow-ing its 94-72 victory over Minnesota on Sunday, its only game of the week. The previous week the Hawkeyes won 84-74 at then-unbeaten and third-ranked Ohio State.

LEAGUE LOOK: Kansas State moving back into the Top 25 gives the Big 12 six ranked teams, one more than the Big Ten, which got its fifth team with Michigan moving in.

The Pac-12 saw Colorado

and UCLA drop out of the rankings this week, leaving it with just No. 1 Arizona in the Top 25.

TWO-TIMERS: Three ranked teams lost twice last week and none of them dropped out of the Top 25.

Wisconsin, which fell to Indiana and Michigan, dropped from third to No. 9. Iowa State, which lost to Kansas and Texas, fell from No. 8 to 16th. Baylor, which lost to Texas Tech and Oklahoma, dropped from 12th to No. 24.

In all, 12 ranked teams lost at least once last week.

UP AND DOWNS: Kansas made the week’s big move in the Top 25, rising seven spots to No. 8 with wins over Iowa State and Oklahoma State, which were both ranked in the top 10. Louisville, with victories over Houston and Connecticut, went up six places to 12th.

The biggest drop of the week was Baylor’s 12-place fall to 24th after losses to Texas Tech and Oklahoma.

DOUBLE-RANKED GAMES: Michigan is wel-comed back into the Top 25 with two games against ranked teams this week.

The 21st-ranked Wolverines host No. 10 Iowa on Wednesday and visit No. 3 Michigan State on Saturday.

The other double-ranked games this week are No. 24 Baylor at No. 8 Kansas on Monday night and No. 22 Kansas State at No. 16 Iowa State on Saturday.

PHILADELPHIA — Ethan Wragge let the 3s fly, and helped the records fall.

Wragge tied a school record with nine 3-point-ers for all 27 points, Doug McDermott hit five 3s and scored 23 points, and Creighton set a team mark with 21 3-pointers in a 96-68 victory over No. 4 Villanova on Monday night.

Wragge only sur-prised Villanova, not his teammates.

“I’ve seen him shoot bet-ter in practice,” McDermott said. “I’ve seen him hit 11 or 12 3s in an open gym, that’s normal. So not a lot of us are shocked. The out-side world, everyone’s kind of shocked. But that’s just another day at the office for Ethan.”

The Bluejays (16-3, 6-1 Big East) topped the school record of 20 3s set in 2005 against Chattanooga. Kyle Korver hit nine 3s against Evansville on Jan. 15, 2003.

The Bluejays, in their first year in the Big East, set a conference record for most 3s in a game and beat a top-five team for the first time since 1970.

“Once I get one, they know I’m hunting for two and three,” Wragge said. “It’s a hard feeling to describe once you get one to go in. You just kind of let it fly and don’t think about it.”

The Bluejays hit their first nine 3s and nev-er looked back against Villanova (16-2, 5-1) which had romped its way toward its highest ranking in four years. They made 21 of 35 3-pointers and led by as many 41 points.

Wragge hit eight 3s in the first half and Creighton built a 28-point lead.

“By three or four, I kind of knew where I was at,” he said.

Wragge, who finished 9 of 14 from 3-point range, tied Korver’s record with his ninth 3-pointer with 13:59 left for a 68-45

lead. McDermott followed with his third 3 and Austin Chatman hit one the next time down for the stunning 29-point lead.

“It’s tough to beat a team that hits 21 3s,” McDermott said.

The Bluejays refused to slow down from 3-point range, with McDermott’s fourth 3 extending the lead to 30 and making them 19 for 31.

NEBRASKA 68No. 17 OHIO ST. 62

OMAHA, Neb. — Shavon Shields and Terran Petteway both scored 18 points as Nebraska handed Ohio State its fourth straight loss.

The Cornhuskers (9-8, 1-5 Big Ten), who ended a five-game losing streak, survived after squandering a 14-point first-half lead. They used a 16-5 run late in the second half to regain control and made 13 of their last 16 free throws to hold off the Buckeyes (15-4, 2-4).

Millsap helps Hawks zap HeatAssociated Press

ATLANTA — Paul Millsap scored 26 points and the Atlanta Hawks overcame LeBron James’ 30 points to beat the Miami Heat 121-114 Monday night.

DeMarre Carroll added 19 points and Pero Antic had 17 for the Hawks, who snapped a nine-game losing streak in their series with the Heat.

Chris Bosh had 21 points for Miami, which was with-out Dwyane Wade for the second straight game.

Atlanta took its first win over Miami since Jan 2, 2012 and its first home win in the series since Nov. 18, 2009.

BULLS 102LAKERS 100, OT

CHICAGO — Taj Gibson made a layup at the buzzer in overtime, lifting Chicago to victory over Los Angeles.

With nine-tenths of a second left, Mike Dunleavy inbounded from underneath the basket and found Gibson cutting down the middle. The athletic forward then muscled toward the hoop for the winning bas-ket, which was confirmed in a video review by the officials.

Joakim Noah had 17 points

and 21 rebounds for Chicago (20-20), which has won eight of 10 to get back to .500 for the first time since Nov. 27. D.J. Augustin had a season-high 27 points, and Jimmy Butler finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

Nick Young had 31 points for the Lakers, including a tying base-line jumper with 6 seconds left in overtime.

ROCKETS 126BLAZERS 113

HOUSTON — Chandler Parsons scored a season-high 31 points and Dwight Howard added 24 points to help Houston snap Portland’s five-game winning streak.

The Rockets won their second straight, building a big lead early and answering every time Portland made a run.

James Harden added 22 points and had five assists and Patrick Beverley returned from a broken hand to score 17 points. Parsons added 10 rebounds and seven assists while finishing one point shy of his career-high.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points and 20 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who have won seven of their last 11 games. Damian Lillard added 24 points and Wesley Matthews had 18.

CLIPPERS 112, PISTONS 103AUBURN HILLS, Mich. —

DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and 21 rebounds, and Los Angeles breezed past Detroit.

Jordan made his first seven shots — almost all on dunks. Blake Griffin added 25 points and Jamal Crawford scored 26 for the Clippers, who are 6-2 since losing star point guard Chris Paul to a shoulder injury.

J.J. Redick added 20 points for

Los Angeles, including two four-point plays when the Pistons fouled him beyond the arc.

Rodney Stuckey scored 29 points for Detroit and Josh Smith added 24, but the Pistons got almost noth-ing from their starting backcourt. Brandon Jennings went scoreless and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored only six points.

MAVERICKS 102CAVALIERS 97

CLEVELAND — Monta Ellis scored 22 points, Shawn Marion added 18 and Dallas held off Cleveland’s late rally.

Cleveland roared back from a 24-point deficit in the first half and trailed by three with 2.8 seconds remaining, but the Cavaliers were called for a five-second violation when Jarrett Jack failed to get the ball inbounds. Ellis put the game away with two free throws with 1.1 seconds left.

Kyrie Irving led Cleveland with 26 points. Luol Deng, acquired from Chicago on Jan. 7, scored 20 points in his first home game with the Cavaliers while Anderson Varejao had 18 points with 21 rebounds.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 17 points and DeJuan Blair added 13 for the Mavericks, who had six players in double figures.

PELICANS 95GRIZZLIES 92

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Anthony Davis scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half and grabbed 10 rebounds to help New Orleans beat Memphis and snap an eight-game losing streak.

Tyreke Evans added 15 points, 11 in the fourth quarter, and seven assists.

A fter Christmas and during New Year’s, many stores around the island sold

mizuna in abundance. Gardeners also planted them in December in time for the new year as they are one of the easiest to grow.

All you need is a bed or pot of potting soil, scatter seeds and in a few days, you will have sprouting mizuna. It is similar to growing arugula. It makes you think you have a green thumb when in actuality, mizuna and arugula are vigor-ous growers, almost like weeds!

So, if you are insecure about your growing skills, start with either or both of those seeds.

If you are a newcomer to the islands, you probably wondered what you could do with it.

Most bunches are added to New Year’s Day mochi soup, “ozoni,” Any leftover mizuna is pickled in salt as “tsukemono.” So, get yourself invited to a local family’s home next year for New Year’s so you can experience all the customs still practiced to ensure a good new year!

Mizuna, the cultivated vari-ety of Brassica rapa hippsi-nica has many names:

• shui cai• kyona• Japanese mustard• potherb mustard• Japanese greens• California peppergrass• spider mustard• or water greens.Like most mustard greens,

mizuna is high in folic acid, vita-mins A and C and contains glu-cosinolates, an antioxidant which has been linked to a decrease in cancer risk in studies.

Many mesclun seed pack-ets include mizuna, par-ticularly the ones labeled spicy mesclun blends.

I have planted them and found mizuna is very dominant, coming up first and lasting the longest.

If you still have mizuna in your vegetable bin or garden, try this healthy stir-fry dish with tofu from Bon Appetit.

STIR-FRIED BOK CHOY AND MIZUNA WITH TOFU

Serves 4In a bowl, whisk together:2 tablespoons soy sauce2 teaspoons sesame oil1/2 teaspoon unsea-

soned rice vinegarOne 14 to 16 ounce

extra-firm tofu, drained2 tablespoons peanut or veg-

etable oil (Peanut oil is preferred for wok cooking because it has a high smoke point, but what if you serve this to someone with peanut allergy? Just in case, you could use vegetable oil)

Stack two paper towels on work surface. Cut crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices, then cut each slice crosswise in half.

Arrange tofu on paper towels and let stand 10 min-utes. Pat top of tofu dry.

Heat in large nonstick skil-let over medium-high heat.

Add tofu and cook, without moving, until golden brown on bottom, two to three minutes per side (you will have to move it to turn it). Transfer tofu to paper towel to drain, then place tofu on sheet of foil and brush both sides with soy/vinegar mixture.

Wipe out any oil from skillet.Add:2 teaspoons sesame oilHeat to medium heat. Add:4 green onions, chopped1 tablespoon finely

chopped peeled fresh ginger2 garlic cloves, finely

Susan Alexy and son Morgan Alexy operate Sweet Potato Kitchen and Take Out together in Hawi.

organic and local to offer the healthiest, best-tasting food possible. It’s also a mission that supports the community they love.

Originally, Susan was planning to open up a sweets shop, offering her Coconui Ice Cream and gluten-free baked goods, found regularly at the Hawi farmers market. But after numerous requests and encouragement from residents, she decided to create a restaurant using the best local, sustainable and organic ingredients Kohala has to offer.

Susan decided to embark on this venture with Morgan because of his tal-ent, experience and passion. Morgan has more than a decade of culinary experi-ence from working in kitch-ens on Oahu and Kauai. He also spent two years perma-culture farming in Hawi.

Together, they wanted to create something that offers good, healthy, non-genetically modified food respectfully priced and locally sourced. They want-ed to give the farmers of North Kohala a consistent place to sell their products, and give the public, espe-cially residents, a chance to taste those products.

Because the restaurant is committed to using ingre-dients sourced as close to its doors as possible, Susan said the menu is vegetarian and vegan. This focus was welcomed in the commu-nity, especially since dining options are limited. Sweet Potato Kitchen and Take Out is filling in the long-standing vegan and veg-etarian niche, she added.

Morgan said the region’s isolation means they can’t cheat when creating the locally sourced and season-ally driven menu. Instead, they have to be in tune with the land and the people.

The Alexys take great pride in their relationships with farmers, food artisans and neighbors. They also look forward to cultivat-ing more partnerships.

The Alexys described their food as “simple, flavorful and filling like the kind grandma would make if she were vegan.”

Accommodating a love of fresh, seasonable

produce, the menu is the result of what’s currently available and the culinary ingenuity of the restaurant owners who work in a tiny 10-by-10-foot kitchen. If a farmer drops off lots of gin-ger, for example, the menu will be skewed toward that root. Also, nothing goes to waste. For instance, roasted root vegetables might go from a hearty side or casual main dish to a soup. Approximately 90 percent of the ingredi-ents come from Kohala.

The most popular items include the gluten-free biscuits with mushroom gravy and the beet-steak patty plate with sweet pota-toes and wilted greens.

For the Alexys, “the magic of the place” comes from its community sup-port. At times, Susan said she feels like she’s living everybody’s dream. She is honored by the outpouring of commitment by oth-ers to see the restaurant is successful, and because of them, it is thriving.

Some residents donated kitchen equipment, din-ing furniture or services. Others purchased gift cards or tipped generously. A few of the regulars eat exclusively at Sweet Potato Kitchen and Take Out and reported feeling healthier and more energetic or having lost weight. To all who have come, eaten and helped, the Alexys had only one word to best sum up

their gratitude: Mahalo.Simply put, Sweet

Potato Kitchen and Take Out is where local people can come for good food and good conversation. It’s like a second home, Susan said. While their targeted diners are resi-dents, she stressed all are welcome at the restaurant, which has proved to be a hot spot for omnivores, vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free eaters.

Sweet Potato Kitchen and Take Out opened Nov. 5 and a grand opening, with a Hawaiian blessing, was hosted on the winter solstice. The restaurant is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. daily for breakfast, lunch and takeout. Dinner is served 6-9 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Catering is also available.

The Alexys plan to start offering Sunday brunches sometime this month. They also hope to have a culinary garden and more outdoor seating in six months. Other plans include renting the space for parties and having live music. The atmosphere they’re trying to create is a mix between an Italian and French bistro, with a relaxed, warm and friendly drive-thru window.

For more information, call 345-7300 or visit the restaurant’s Facebook page.

Gnudi might make you forget ravioli

Y ou know how a word you’ve just learned suddenly begins popping up everywhere?

Well, gnudi have been doing virtu-ally the same lately, showing up on menus in restaurants I’ve visited and in cookbooks I’ve been reading.

But just as that new vocabulary word was always out there, you just hadn’t noticed it, gnudi have been around for centuries. And I knew about them for years. I just hadn’t made them or even tasted them.

Gnudi are little ricotta dumplings, best thought of as ravioli filling with-out the pasta enveloping it. The Italian word “gnudi” means “nudes,” so it’s like nude ravioli. (They are sometimes called ravioli gnudi.) Or ravioli guts. They are similar to gnocchi but much lighter and much easier to make.

I got around to trying gnudi a couple of months ago.

With some super-fresh ricotta — essential for the best flavor — languish-ing in the fridge, I decided to take the plunge, following a recipe from “The Geometry of Pasta,” by Caz Hildebrand and Jacob Kenedy. The method is simple: Mix ricotta, flour, egg, grated cheese and seasonings together. (“The Geometry of Pasta” calls for bread-crumbs to bind the dumplings, instead of flour.) Mold into small balls with your hands. Cook in boiling water.

I found gnudi date from at least the late 1200s, according to Oretta Zanini de Vita in “Encyclopedia of Pasta,” and predate stuffed pasta.

It’s easy to see why gnudi stuck around. They came out tender and delicious. And although forming the little guys was time-consuming (a small spring-loaded cookie scoop, one or two teaspoon measure, helps), the gnudi were so easy to make.

If you’ve shied away from mak-ing homemade ravioli, maybe this project is your warm-up.

Or just make gnudi instead and forget the pasta.

Get your gnudi on

Ricotta GnudiAdapted from “The Geometry of Pasta”

(Quirk, $24.95), by Caz Hildebrand and Jacob Kenedy. If the ricotta seems wet, let it drain in a sieve, about 30 minutes.Directions:

Mix together 1 cup whole milk ricotta, 1/2 cup grated pecorino Romano, 1 egg and five to six tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Let sit so the breadcrumbs thicken the mixture, 30 minutes.

Heat a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Roll the dough into 20-30 small balls with well-floured hands, placing them on a floured baking sheet. You want plenty of flour on the outside of each ball to make a protective skin on the naked mixture.

Carefully slip them into the boiling water. After they bob to the surface, cook two minutes. Remove from pot with a slotted spoon. Serve with more pecorino or with a sauce of your choice.

Makes: 20-30 gnudi, 4 servings

Spinach GnudiAdapted from “The Italian Cooking

Course” (Kyle, $29.95), by Katie Caldesi.Directions:

Cook 12 ounces fresh spinach in a large pot until wilted. Allow to cool; squeeze to remove water. Chop it finely in a food processor. Mix together in a bowl with 8 ounces whole milk ricotta (drained), one egg yolk, 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg and pepper to taste.

Form small dumplings with your hands, using about two teaspoons mixture per dumpling. (Tightly pack the mixture so it won’t break up in the water.) Place gnudi on a floured surface, making sure they don’t touch each other.

Heat a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat; add the gnudi, in batches, being careful not to crowd them. After gnudi float to the surface, cook, 2-4 minutes. Lift them out with a slotted spoon; transfer to a warm serving dish coated with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Repeat with remaining gnudi.

Meanwhile, for the sauce, melt 1/2 stick salted butter with 6 large fresh sage leaves in a large skillet. Toss the cooked gnudi in the butter sauce. Serve, sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan.

Makes: 30 gnudi, serves 4 as main course; 6 as starter

DEAR ABBY: I just read the letter from “Twice Bitten in Washington” (Nov. 4), who thanked vet-erans for their service to our country and received sev-eral negative responses.

I’m a retired vet, dying from Agent Orange poi-soning. I served two tours in Vietnam, and when I returned from Nam, I was called a baby killer, spat upon and refused taxi service because I was in uniform.

America had a change in attitude since the Vietnam War. Today, many folks appreciate what the mili-tary is doing. I have been thanked several times while wearing my Vietnam Vet-erans hat and it makes me feel great, to the point my eyes water.

Tell “Twice Bitten” to continue thanking the military vets. It means a lot, especially to vets such as me. Sure beats being called a baby killer.

— VIETNAM VET

DEAR VIETNAM VET: I received many let-ters like yours from Viet-nam vets who were also not thanked for their ser-vice when they returned home. Like you, they very much appreciate hearing a “delayed” thanks for their service. I would like to thank you and all the readers who responded to that column with such emotional and sometimes

gut-wrenching stories. Read on:

DEAR ABBY: I would like to offer “Twice” an explanation for the reac-tion she received. I served two tours in Iraq and lost some good friends. When vets return home from war, home is a scary place. The life we lived and breathed is no longer. After spending so much time fearing the unknown and protecting ourselves physically and emotionally, we can’t stop.

Many of us came home feeling guilty we lived while others died — ashamed we might not have done enough, that we should have been the one who was laid to rest, that maybe if we looked harder, fought harder, we wouldn’t have lost a soldier.

When I returned home, I reacted the way “Twice” described. I was resentful someone would take the time to honor me, but not the friends I lost. It was a long time before I realized by honoring me with their sincere thanks, they were honoring every soldier we have ever lost. Now when I am thanked, I shake hands, I hug and I thank them for

their respect.To “Twice”: Never stop!

Do not be afraid. We are not hateful or angry. We are scared and sad. Your expression of thanks means more than any parade, any medal or any award could ever mean.

— BRANDON IN INDIANA

DEAR ABBY: As a soon-to-be-retired career Army officer, I am one of those who feel awkward when people thank us for doing our jobs. The Army was a career I chose, know-ing the hardships and what would be asked of me. The military is filled with all kinds of people, and even though I might not always be in the mood for a strang-er to approach me when I’m out and about, deep down inside it is refreshing to know what I do is appre-ciated.

— PHIL IN WASHINGTON STATE

DEAR ABBY: One day, while walking in a cem-etery, we saw an elderly gentleman leaning on the arm of his caregiver, and we realized he was looking at a veterans memorial. My wife approached and asked if he was a veteran. He looked at her and said “Yes,” and she said, “Thank you very much for your service and your bravery.” He immedi-ately teared up and croaked out a “Thank you.” His

caregiver rolled her eyes. My wife got into her

face and said, “You have a hero on your arm, so show him some respect!” The veteran cried harder, grabbed my wife’s hand and said, “No one has ever said that to me, especially my caregiver.”

— KIMIT IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR READERS: May I suggest some other ways to thank vets and those currently in the military? Volunteer at a veterans hospital and bring flowers and toilet-ries.

A baby born today has a Sun in Aquarius and a Moon in Virgo if born before 4:43 a.m. (PST). Afterward, the Moon will be in Libra.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014:

This year, opportunities stem from your ability to know what you want from a situation. Sharing some of your wilder schemes will be better received than you might think. Oth-ers find your imagination fun and invigorating. If you are single, you could meet someone very gentle and kind. You might want to pinch yourself, as this person will seem to be unbelievable. If you are attached, the two of you thrive off the unexpected. LIBRA admires your imagination, and entices your romantic side.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Dif-ficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★ You will feel great, and a partner might appear to be in the same mood - at least until a hot issue is broached. Then, you could find out other-wise. Your ability to draw out others emerges. You know the right move to make. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ Your efforts make a difference, yet an associ-ate could have a negative attitude. Fortunately, this person does not rule the world. A friend might share his or her thoughts. Listen carefully, as he or she will be coming from an intuitive level. Tonight: Get some exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ You will find a situation provocative. You might feel as if a boss is making assumptions that may not be grounded. Know that you don’t have to respond to this person’s projections. Be willing to blaze a new trail, and you’ll feel better about your choices. Tonight: Up late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Opt to be with a close friend or associ-ate. Get to the bottom of a problem that might be both-ering you. You will know whether the information you are given is correct. How you feel could change dramatically. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)★★★★ You’ll want to

have a friendly chat with a difficult roommate, close friend or loved one. You could find that this person tends to disengage when you start to talk. As a result, you might wonder whether

this discussion should be postponed. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ You will jump into a situation without hesitation. Sometimes it is best to allow others to find out what works; they need to go through a similar process to what you did. A partner could be very distracted, which will make it difficult to communicate. Tonight: Relax.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You are ener-gized. A child or loved one adores you wild, creative imagination. This person would be delighted to see this facet of your personali-ty emerge. Keep it light. Be aware of the costs of pursu-ing what appears to be a fun plan. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ You could feel tense, as others seem to demand that rules be loos-ened up some. You might feel somewhat vulnerable and choose to withdraw within. You can’t control others, nor should you try. A psychic thought will come your way. Tonight: Early to bed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You will be focused on a key matter revolving around a friend

or a significant meeting. How you handle it and the end results could color your thinking about the whole situation. Emphasize what you want, and speak your mind. Tonight: Where the gang is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You might want to get to know someone in power better. You both have very different approaches that are effective. A family matter or a domestic issue could trigger unexpected happenings. Go with the flow. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You might feel more in harmony with someone at distance than you do with many other people. You can’t deny what exists between you. You are intuitive with this person, as is he or she with you. An unexpected call makes you smile. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You succeed best when you work closely with someone else. You know what is workable and what needs to happen. Though you tend to come up with ideas from out of left field, this person sees value in them. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person over dinner.

History

Vets deserve thanks even when it seems unwelcome

■ This day in historyOn Jan. 21, 1954, the

first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Conn., as first lady Mamie Eisen-hower christened the vessel with the traditional bottle of champagne broken against the bow. (However, the Nautilus did not make its first nuclear-powered run until nearly a year later.)

In 1648, Margaret Brent went before the Maryland colonial assembly to seek two votes in that body, one for herself as a landowner, the other as the legal repre-sentative of the absent Lord

Baltimore; the assembly turned her down.

In 1793, during the French Revolution, King Louis XVI, condemned for treason, was executed on the guillotine.

In 1861, Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, and four other Southerners whose states seceded from the Union resigned from the U.S. Senate.

In 1908, New York City’s Board of Alder-men passed an ordinance prohibiting women from smoking in public (the measure was vetoed two weeks later by Mayor

George B. McClellan Jr.).In 1910, the Great Paris

Flood began as the rain-swollen Seine River burst its banks, sending water into the French capital.

In 1950, former State Department official Alger Hiss, accused of being part of a Communist spy ring, was found guilty in New York of lying to a grand jury. (Hiss, who proclaimed his innocence, served less than four years in prison.) George Orwell (Eric Blair), author of “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” died in London at age 46.

In 1977, President Jim-

my Carter pardoned almost all Vietnam War draft evad-ers.

In 1994, a jury in Manassas, Va., found Lore-na Bobbitt not guilty by reason of temporary insani-ty of maliciously wounding her husband John, whom she’d accused of sexually assaulting her.

Ten years ago: Presi-dent George W. Bush vis-ited community colleges in Ohio and Arizona, where he highlighted the economy and several new job-train-ing initiatives he proposed a day earlier in his State of the Union speech.

Today’s military service members are extremely well trained, highly motivated and well educated. For further information on

these or other veterans contact Hilo Office, Melvin Arai, Workforce Development Division, 981-2860.

CHECK YOUR AD ON THE FIRST DAY We will not be responsible for errors or adjustments after the fi rst day of publication of any advertisement. Notice of errors on the FIRST day should immediately be called to the attention of the Classifi ed Department.

FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR READERS & ADVERTISERS Close screening is exercised over all advertising accepted for publication in this newspaper. Occasionally ads found in the Classifi ed Section come from distant points and the Hawaii Tribune-Herald cannot always know the merits of the off ers. We never knowingly publish advertisements that are untruthful or fraudulent, and detrimental to the best interest of our readers. We encourage you to contact the Better Business Bureau before signing any contract or releasing personal information. If any reader encounters anything other than faithful compliance, we would appreciate it if you would call the Better Business Bureau, of which this newspaper is an active supporter, and notify the Classifi ed Department immediately.

ADVERTISING PROVISIONS 1. The Hawaii Tribune-Herald reserves the right to edit, revise or reject all copy to conform to state and county laws, in-house policy and/or correct classifi cation.

2. All advertising is subject to copy and credit check before publication. Ads may be cancelled prior to the end date originally scheduled for the ad by calling the classifi ed department at 935-6621 during business hours, or by email to classifi ed@hawaiitribune-herald.com. Ads will be cancelled for the next publication possible after notifi cation is received according to our publication deadline schedule. Cancellations received over weekends or holidays will be processed on the next business day. No refunds will be made.

3. The advertiser shall assume all liability for advertisement printed pursuant to his instruction and shall indemnify & hold the Hawaii Tribune-Herald harmless from and against any and all claims and damages, including all costs incurred by the Hawaii Tribune-Herald in connection therewith.

4. The advertiser agrees to check all advertisements in the fi rst issue in which it appears and report any error at once as the Hawaii Tribune-Herald assumes no responsibility for errors after the fi rst insertion. For any error which is the fault of the Hawaii Tribune-Herald and of which we have been notifi ed prior to proofi ng deadline, we will reprint the correct advertisement for one extra insertion. We will have no responsibility for errors appearing in the copy submitted by the advertiser.

For rates on any classifi ed ad, call our classifi ed department at 935-6621
