Chichester race week is one of best - and one of biggest
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
An entry of 401 boats, with 625 individual competitors afloat, made Chichester Harbour Race Week the biggest for a decade - and, according to Harbour Federation chairman Nick Fox at the prize-giving, surely the largest dinghy event in the UK.
The success of this year’s event had much to do with four days of glorious sunshine and good wind. There was a buzz of excitement all week round Hayling Island Sailing Club, host for the Federation-organised regatta.
A bigger, better social programme had as its highlight a Rio-themed party.
The sailing, though, was what mattered most. After the first four excellent days, with enough breeze for good racing but not so much that boats and sailors were damaged, winners in most of the 19 fleets were clear. So although the abandonment of racing on day five as gusts of 30 knots and visibility-reducing rain hit the race area was a disappointment, it was far from a disaster.
As ever, the largest proportion of entrants were from clubs based in Chichester Harbour. But visiting boats came from across the UK - as far as Cornwall, the Isle of Man and Cornwall - and even from France. The next generation of racers was also well in evidence, with almost a third of competitors under 18.
Innovations in the racing fleet included starts for Scows and - at the other end of the size spectrum - RS Elite and XOD keelboats. In between came many of the most popular racing dinghies, new and classic. Biggest fleet was the RS200s, 53 boats, followed by the Solos, 42. And the very mixed medium-handicap class, numbering 40, included Wayfarers, a Firefly, National 12 and YW Dayboat alongside plenty of the some of newest single-handers, RS Aeros and Hadron H2s.
Competitors from the eastern side of Chichester Harbour and further along the West Sussex coast took home plenty of the prized Race Week plates, with four fleet winners.
Competitors from the eastern side of Chichester Harbour and further along the West Sussex coast took home plenty of the prized Race Week plates, with four fleet winners. Sam Tweedle, Emsworth SC, led the standard Lasers; Izzie Lee, Bosham SC, was first Scow; Peter McCoy, Emsworth Slipper SC, was top Finn; and Slipper clubmates John Excell and Simon Goldfarb won the medium handicap in their Laser Stratos.
Plenty of other ESSC members were prizewinners. Previous winner Andrew Gould (Musto Skiff) took second among the most extreme racing machines, the fast asymmetrics; Jim Fifield was second in the new combined fleet of DZeros and RS Aero 9s, Mike Lillywhite and Emma Pethybridge (ISO) were third medium asymmetric, Jonathan Townsend and Barbara Langford (2000) took fourth place in the medium handicap and Mark Riddington and Claire Power were fifth RS200.
Emsworth SC had good positions in several fleets: Pippa and Jeremy White were second and third Scows, while Luke and Sam Watson took second and third places in the Optimists, with Sam Watson fourth. Alex Thorsby and Mike Thomson were third RS400 and Phil and Jill Poyner sixth RS200. Chichester YC’s sole prizewinner was Ian Barnett, second in the Solos.
Itchenor SC provided the XOD fleet, with Jerrold Alexander and Steve Dover winning.
Family expertise showed with Itchenor’s results in the RS200s, with Charlie Roome and Edwina Lister fourth, and Harry and Prue Roome seventh.
Guy Mayger and son Alex from Felpham SC, like last year, both scored the same results, though this time instead of winning their fleets they took fourth places, Guy in the Solos, Alex in the Laser Radials. Club-mates Charles Elliott and Jack Mellor (29er) also took home plates as third medium asymmetric.
The small contingent from Arun YC did particularly well, with Jack Holden and Mary Henderson runners-up in the RS200s, Rob Gullan (Hadron H2) second in the medium handicap, and Jack Munnelly and Mark Nichols second RS400.
Generous support for the event came from main sponsor Bentley Walker and companies associated with the sailing world.

Countdown to 2106 folk festival
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A pair of tickets is up for grabs for this year’s Southdowns Folk Festival which is billing itself as “bigger and even better” as it prepares to hit Bognor Regis from September 23-25.
Organiser Roger Nash said: “The tickets will get you into five superb concerts at the town’s Alexandra Theatre and Regis Centre Studio featuring some of the UK’s and Europe’s top folk, roots and acoustic performers.
“Starting with the amazing Cara Dillon and band on Friday evening, the studio concerts on Saturday afternoon feature the brilliant Dutch band Wild Geese and Scottish singing sensation Claire Hastings and in the evening, the awesome Oysterband supported by the excellent Fate the Juggler.
“The concerts continue on Sunday afternoon in the studio with the stunning Steve Tilston, Wild Geese and many others and on Sunday evening, a real treat with the legendary Martin Carthy supported by the superb Robb Johnson Band plus the winner of the Sussex Young Folk Competition.”
Open to all musicians aged eight to 21, the competition will take place at the William Hardwicke on Sunday, September 25. The winner will receive a new guitar and be awarded with a 20-minute set later the same day, supporting the festival’s headliners in the Alexandra Theatre.
Roger is delighted with the way the programme has come together – particularly with the late addition of Martin Carthy after Shooglenifty were forced to withdraw from the festival for personal reasons.
“This is our fourth festival, and for the fourth festival we are focusing the festival much more on Bognor Regis town centre. We are not using Hotham Park.
“We just want to be more central this time. We have linked up with the town-centre management, and we have got nine different dance groups performing. We have also got music sessions going on and workshops going on, and we have also got the Sussex Young Folk Competition at the William Hardwicke and a real-ale festival.
“The other thing is that we have much more teamed up with the Regis Centre. Before, we would hire the Regis Centre, but this year we are working much more closely together with them as partners.”
Roger is delighted at the way word has spread for the festival since he revived it after many years away: “We are doing the social more media actively than before, and it does make a big difference because it gets the message out much more widely. It is as simple as that.
“We have changed the format of the festival insofar as we are focusing much more on the town centre, but we think we have generally got the format right.”
Just as importantly, Roger is delighted at the important knock-on economic benefits it brings to Bognor and the positive image it helps to project of the town as a lively, successful place.
To win a pair of weekend tickets for the 2016 Southdowns Folk Festival, email phil.hewitt@chiobserver.co.uk giving your name, address and day-time phone number and putting Southdowns Folk Festival in the subject line or write to Southdowns Folk Festival, c/o Phil Hewitt, Chichester Observer, Suite 3, First Floor, City Gates, 2-4 Southgate, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 8DJ.

New album for Chichester graduate
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
University of Chichester graduate Joe Perkins tries to capture a little bit of chaotic Quo in his new album.
Joe, who studied commercial music graduating in 2012, has long been a huge Status Quo fan: he first saw them, aged ten, in Bristol 16 years ago.
“And I have seen them with the modern line-up loads of times, always the perfect Quo. But then they played with their original line-up, and they were just all over the place in terms of the timing and the notes, but in terms of the musicality, they were just so exciting.
“They had the danger back, and it was just so much better for not being perfect, and I think that is one of the lessons I have learnt.
“You record a song and then you can edit it and edit it until it is perfect, but that’s not necessarily the best way to do it.
“You want the edge, which is what Quo had. They looked terrified! But that nervous energy made it the best Quo show I’d ever seen. It was so much more exciting for being edgy and dangerous. It was four humans all playing together with the whole thing likely to implode at any point. It was pure rock & roll!
“We are human beings. We are not perfect. We all make mistakes. With technology, you can make it perfect, but you lose the fact that we are all musicians playing together. It’s about the spontaneous things that can happen, and that’s what I have wanted to capture.
“There are little mistakes, but the album is what I sound like when I play the guitar. And it is the first album I haven’t done in a recording studio. I did it in the dining room at home. It was about giving free rein to the music.”
It was while he was at Chichester that Joe did his first album: “It was a very good course, but for me the most important thing was the studio facilities that we could book out. The course was very wide-ranging, but in your spare time you could get into the studio and having the studio was great. You got taught all the basics of making a record, but then you could develop it all further.
“I did my first album then which I released free online. So many people had got involved and given their time for free that it wouldn’t have been right to try to sell it.
“It was call Host of Other Artists. It was all songs I had written and played pretty much every instrument, but it was other people doing the lead vocals. I did some backing vocals, but I am not strong enough a singer to do the lead vocals.”
Now comes the new album, purely instrumental. Double Denim is released on Friday, September 2, as a vinyl + CD bundle (limited to 300 copies) and as a download – both available from joeperkins.co.uk. Both are priced at £7.99.
“Releasing the album on vinyl isn’t purely nostalgic,” Joe says. “Sure, I personally prefer buying music as a physical entity and enjoying it as a piece of art, and I think vinyl is the best for that.
“But the audio is actually much higher definition than the CD and has a more dynamic master. You’ll have to turn it up a bit, but it sounds more natural. Nowadays we all need to own our music digitally too, so with the enclosed CD you get that as well.
“So that’s Double Denim. There’s rock; bluegrass; ballads; a snare drum with far too much reverb on it; potentially the world’s loudest cajón; an army of pots and pans; an outrageous amount of guitars; a sense of humour; and real human musicians playing their instruments.
“And who else gives you all that on an outdated format from the 1930s?”

Motorists from around Sussex are being advised to avoid using the M20 if travelling to Kent after a bridge collapsed.
Kent Police said that officers were called at 12.10pm today to a report of a bridge collapsing between Junction 4 and Junction 3 on the M20 London-bound.
Police said a lorry collided with a pedestrian bridge which collapsed onto the carriageway below.
Officers are in attendance along with Kent Fire and Rescue Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service.
No people are believed to be trapped in the debris, however one person is believed to have suffered injuries, not reported to be life threatening at this time, Kent Police said.
Police are treating this as a major incident and the M20 has been closed in both directions to allow this incident to be dealt with.

Elphick relishing Rocks clash
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Worthing Football Club joint boss Gary Elphick believes tomorrow’s Ryman League Premier Division clash at Bognor (3pm) will be a ‘massive occasion’.
Elphick’s side head into the encounter with rivals Rocks fresh from their first league defeat at home to Grays Athletic yesterday but he sees this as a perfect opportunity to bounce back.
He said: “It’s going to be a fantastic occasion to try and restore a bit of faith from the fans and get some belief back in the changing room.
“Hopefully we’ll be able to perform well against a strong Bognor side.
“It will be a classic derby game, fingers crossed we can show a bit more application than in our last game.”
Worthing will be without injured defensive duo Will Hendon and Corey Heath, while Steve Metcalf is once again available after serving a one-game suspension.

Cleo's big opportunity
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A young Arundel dancer is relishing the chance to work with the prestigious National Youth Ballet.
15-year-old Cleo Badcock will be taking part in a memorial gala performance on Sunday, September 4, at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Rosebery Avenue, London at 7.30pm (020 7863 8000). The memorial celebrates the work and legacy of company founder and artistic director Jill Tookey who died in March this year.
Over three decades, Jill Tookey quietly became one of the industry’s most influential dance leaders, inspiring generations of young dancers and choreographers, many of whom have embarked upon successful professional careers after their time with NYB. Jill was appointed a CBE for services to dance in the 2016 New Year Honours.
Cleo is delighted to continue Jill’s work.
“I know a few people who have done it before, and they suggested I do it,” Cleo said. “I auditioned in January and then I got a letter saying I had got through to the final auditions in April. I did a few pieces from the choreographers for that – and I got through. I got a big information pack through detailing what dances I am in and what I am going to have to do.”
And then it was into ten days of rehearsals: “We have been doing it all day every day, but it has been brilliant. I love the dances I am in, and it is great fun. I am in Ruth Armstrong’s Swing Time and also in The Tribute. Swing Time is swing-style 1930s New York, and there are about 20 dancers in the piece. It is interesting because it is all different sections, and the music is so diverse you get to do different styles. At the moment, we are rehearsing The Tribute separately, and I am guessing we are going to put it all together later.”
It’s all fantastic experience for Cleo: “I am one of those people that started dancing when they were two or three, and then when I was 11 or 12 I started taking more and more classes. I dance six days a week now. The difficulty is fitting in the homework!
“But I can express myself when I am dancing in ways that I can’t when I am just walking or talking. I can use different parts of my body. I don’t know how to put it into words really, but it is like I am in a different world when I am dancing, when the lights are on and you can’t really see the audience.
“I suppose it depends on the setting or the piece, but I don’t really get nervous. I am not a wreck. But it is always good to have a few nerves. I guess it focuses you more. It turns you on more to what you are doing.”
Cleo is hoping to audition for vocational schools – and she would love to think her future lies in dancing.
She knows a lot of hard work lies ahead and that she will need to be tough and determined: “You have to accept that you might not get the dance or the company that you want, and you have to cope with that.”

There were A-grade smiles at St Philip Howard Catholic High School today as pupils opened their GCSE results.
A record 86 per cent of students achieved five A*-C grades at the Barnham school - 80 per cent including English and maths.
A group of boys who all did well
On average students made over four grades better progress in their best eight subjects than they would have done compared to students nationally.
Students to gain straight A* and A grades included: Eloise Carter, Holly Tarleton, Oliver Button, Charlotte Elliot, Chloe Roberts, Holly Leal Lukasz Sacharczuk, Solene Declas, Jodie Brierley, David Houghey, Cerys Owen, Bruno Owers and Nicholas Kabanas.
Between them, twins Emily and Katherine Broadhurst collected 22 A and A*s.
Delighted pupil Molly Sivyer said: “I got alls As and Bs so I’m really happy. It’s been a long wait but I’m glad to have finally found out my results and done well.
Molly Sivyer got alls A and B grades
“I’m going to stay on here because Philip Howard has a really good Sixth Form.”
A delighted Oliver Button got eight A*s and two As, while Sam Hills got seven As, one A* and two Bs.
One third of all grades were awarded A* or A and over 10 per cent of the year group achieved straight A*s and As.
One quarter of the year group left with 5 or more A* and A grades.
English, Spanish, German, music, PE, biology, chemistry, physics, computing and textiles all got well over 90 per cent A*-C and some 100 per cent.
Head teacher David Carter said: “The progress students make from their starting points have consistently placed SPH in the top 5 per cent in the country. “This year is no exception and we are delighted that our headline figures are the best the school has ever experienced.
“Behind the figures however are individuals for whom these results will make a life-changing difference.
“It has been a privilege to work with such delightful students and we look forward to welcoming the vast majority and those from other schools into the Sixth Form.”
Anyone wishing to attend our Sixth Form are welcome contact the school on www.sphcs.co.uk with enrolment on Tuesday, September 6.

Console Corner: Deus Ex Mankind Divided review
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Deus Ex has you spoilt for choice.
Mankind Divided and so am I when it comes to reviewing the latest Deus Ex game after its launch last week.
There is so much to rave about in DEMD and I’m still enjoying it now over a week into the game.
But there are a number of elements which do not quite sit right with me.
Let’s start with the positives, though, and there are plenty of them.
There is layer upon layer in this game all expertly crafted together and beautifully designed.
The gameplay stands up to the high standards set by previous Deus Ex games and goes beyond them in many respects.
This is a game that will suit all types of gamers too.
Looking for a quick blast for an hour, you can jump on and get enough done to enjoy the experience, looking for longer, more involved sessions on your console then the gameplay rewards your patience, curiosity and creativity.
You play augmented human Jensen who is essentially the most deadly Power Ranger on the planet. I mean this guy has everything and would even give Superman a run for his money.
There are so many options to negotiate each scenario
And this is where my first problem lies with DEMD.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy.
‘Ramp up the difficulty setting!’ I hear you cry.
Well yes there’s that but my point is no matter what level you are playing at, Jensen just has too much at his disposal for his enemies to trouble him.
Sometimes, dare I say it, there are so many options available to you, so many ways to deal with scenarios and enemies and so much in your arsenal, it actually feels a bit ... easy. Damien Lucas, gaming columnist
But don’t get me wrong it’s still great fun entering a room littered with foes and walking out past a pile of them without breaking a sweat.
Another thing that doesn’t quite land for me is the Apartheid type references between the humans (naturals) and the augmented race. It is a poor attempt to give the storyline resonance with real life - for example there are posters dotted around saying things like ‘Augmented Lives Matter’ and it just feels a little frivolous.
I’m being hyper critical, though, and Deus Ex will go down as one of the games of the year of that there is no doubt.
Rating: 8.5/10

COUNTY UPDATE: Armed siege enters second night
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Police are preparing for a second night of discussions with an armed pensioner holed up in a house.
The 72-year-old man remains inside the house with police security cordons and a road closure in place as negotiations continue.
Emergency services were first called to the property at around 4.10pm on Sunday to a report of threatening behaviour.
A woman known to the man was also in the house in Harbour Road, Pagham, at the time, but she left shortly after police arrival and is safe and well.
The man, who is on his own and believed to have a gun, continues to communicate with trained police negotiators.
Chief Superintendent Neil Honnor said: “I appreciate this must be a little disconcerting and frustrating for local residents having a continued large police presence outside their homes.
“The safety of the local community is paramount and we are doing all we can to resolve this ongoing incident in a controlled way.
“The road closure and cordons remain in place but residents are still free to come and go as and when they need to with police support.
“We would once again like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding.”
An earlier report from Sussex police confirmed armed officers were at the scene as negotations continued.

The body of a diver who went missing on Saturday has been recovered from the water at Bognor, police have said today.
Selsey RNLI was called to help in a five-hour search for the missing man after he reportedly failed to resurface while diving about three miles from the lifeboat station.
Police have confirmed that a body found in the water yesterday afternoon is believed to be that of the same person.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and the coroner’s officer is dealing with the incident, police said.
The body was brought ashore by a lifeboat from Littlehampton RNLI, police added.

Job losses at patient transport service sub-contractor planned
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Job losses at a sub-contractor working on Sussex’s patient transport service have been announced.
Since private company Coperforma took over the contract from South East Coast Ambulance Service in April, patients have complained about numerous incidents of crews being late or not turning up at all.
While performance has improved recently, one of the company’s sub-contractors VM Langfords went into administration earlier this year, forcing Coperforma to step in to guarantee jobs, pay, and conditions.
Now Docklands Medical Services (DMS), which took on some of the former Langfords employees, said it would be informing some of its staff that the company will be ‘terminating their employment’.
In a letter to staff, Christopher Arnall, chief executive officer at DMS, said: “I have no choice as my company finances dictate that I act quickly and decisively in order to secure the stability of the company and maintain a solvent and stable company going forward in order to provide our valuable service to the patients and maintain stable secure jobs for employees who remain with the business.”
He added: “When former Langford’s employees joined DMS I gave an undertaking to these employees that all such staff would remain on ‘the same terms and conditions that they were previously on’.
“At this time I was hoping to attract additional business/work into DMS in order to be able to finance this undertaking. Again sadly this has not happened.
“Having now had the time to review the finances of my business, my work load and also my resourcing requirements I can advise that unfortunately I am no longer in a position to be able to sustain the current headcount or the previously mentioned terms and conditions.
“Over the coming days I will be meeting with employees to discuss this situation in more detail and unfortunately I will need to advise some of our colleagues that I will be terminating their employment.”
He explained that any former Langfords employees who stayed with the company would be offered DMS’ standard terms and conditions.
Last week the GMB union, which represents staff at Docklands, called on Coperforma to be stripped of its contract, and is due to hold a strike on Monday September 5.
Gary Palmer, GMB organiser, said: “No more chances, no more waiting until the dust hopefully settles, the time has come to remove Coperfoma and all those that would put profit before patients and staff.”
A spokesman for Coperforma explained that after ‘early teething problems’ the PTS was now ‘working well’, and the contract dispute between DMS and its employees would not affect the service ‘in any way’.
Working with the CCG, Coperforma had put in place a plan to mobilise extra vehicles from other providers to fill any shortfall should the need arise during the dispute.
The spokesman said that all contractual payments from Coperforma to DMS, totalling £525,000, were up to date, and justified claims from previous employees at VM Langfords would be paid, but since many of these went back several months it would take the company some time to verify them all.

Agony aunt column: Ask Lucy
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
This is the latest column from Lucy Saunders, who provides a regular agony aunt feature - Ask Lucy.
Dear Lucy. My husband has got this terrible habit of washing his hands lots of times and checking all the switches to make sure they’re off. It takes us hours to leave the house every day as he has all these rituals. In fact, his life has become unbearable as it seems like he has become a prisoner in his own world of checking. Please can you explain in detail, what you think is wrong with him?
Lucy: I am sorry for your distress regarding your husband’s condition it must be an anxious time for you? It sounds like your husband is suffering from an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder OCD. This is a complex condition that occurs in many people. Your husband could have a genetic predisposition in his personality or it could also be a social conditioning due to stresses he feels in his life. It seems he is acting out rituals and repetitive actions in order to block out thoughts and feelings that he is uncomfortable with. There are many unconscious conflicts in the sufferers mind that can cause the OCD and it will help him if he finds an outlet to explore these through counselling or a support group. Your first port of call should be his G.P. who will advise him. This is a journey that affects both of you and I am sure your husband can find the help he needs for both of your sakes. I would definitely advise him to join a local Support Group as this will give him the ongoing support until he feels he has conquered the condition.
Dear Lucy. I don’t know which way to turn. I could really use some advice.
I have been married eight years and feel out of love. I stay with my husband as he recently had cancer. But both myself and my teenage daughter are unhappy in this loveless argumentative home.
What should I do?
Lucy: It sounds like you’re in a difficult situation. I hope your husband has recovered well but this is clearly difficult for you as his illness can make you feel obliged to stay. You say you are out of love but I am wondering if it may be the cancer that might have got in the way of your relationship. Perhaps you and your husband have been preoccupied with his battle. The stress of the cancer plus life’s daily struggles would put a strain on any marriage and I can understand that you may have felt shut out at times. I am wondering if you can try and find the love with your husband that you once had when you first met him? It is very important that you both try and work on your relationship to figure out what has caused the problem and try not to argue in front of your daughter. Maybe the stress has stopped you from spending enough special time together. I also do suggest you could try some couples counselling to work through honestly what has caused the problem together and how his cancer impacts on your marriage and your decisions. These sessions could also be used to discuss your own feelings about your own inner world, which understandably has taken a back seat in recent times. All marriages deserve open communication and honesty with each other and a commitment to try and understand what has gone wrong whether you stay together or not.
Lucy is a BACP Accredited Qualified Counsellor. She previously worked in the media as an actress.

Coca-Cola bottle ‘most iconic packaging’
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The Cola-Cola glass bottle has been voted as the most iconic packaging on the UK’s shelves.
A study of 1,500 Brits exploring the influence of packaging and branding on shopping habits found that one in six people thought the Coca-Cola bottle was the most identifiable in terms of packaging.
Indeed, it was deemed to be just as recognisable without its logo or the product itself.
The research, commissioned by Easyfairs, organisers of Packing Innovations and Luxury Packaging London, found the Toblerone triangular chocolate bar finished as a close runner up, with Marmite’s glass jar rated as third-best-loved product packaging.
Beauty brands, such as the Tiffany Box and the Chanel No.5 Bottle just missed out on the top ten.
Coke’s success has been attributed to its targeting younger audience, with one in five Millennials selecting the bottle as the most recognisable pack product.Pringles’ iconic cylinder tube, fourth on the overall list, was the Millennial’s second favourite.
The study also revealed barcodes as the greatest packaging invention, ahead of more traditional items such as the cardboard box (21 per cent) - although the younger generation, 18-34 years, voted for 3D printing and re-sealable zips as its top two.
Gerry Sherwood, Event Director for the Easyfairs’ Packaging Portfolio, who commissioned the survey, said: “Millennials have officially passed Baby Boomers as the largest generation in history, and are more personally connected to their favourite brands than ever before. It is therefore not surprising to see 3D printing come out top in our poll for this age group.”
Top Ten Most Recognisable Brand’s Packaging
1. Coca-Cola Bottle
2. Toblerone Triangle
3. Marmite Jar
4. Pringles Tube
5. KFC Bucket
6. Heinz Ketchup Bottle
7. Fairy Liquid Bottle
8. Apple’s iPhone Box
9. Walkers Crisp Packet
10. Amazon Box

Adrian Cox offers Steyning date
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Adrian Cox, one of the UK's leading reed players, is the latest guest at Steyning Jazz Club on Friday, September 2.
Adrian founded the Adrian Cox Quartet in 2012 acquiring a dedicated and enthusiastic following, playing their energetic mix of traditional jazz and swing from the 30s onwards, in the styles of Benny Goodman to Ben Webster via Ed Hall to Jonny Hodges.
Club spokesman Colin Jilks said: “Adrian has toured and recorded with T J Johnson, Paloma Faith and Bad Manners. He has hand-picked the very best from the UK's leading jazz musicians, to form his quartet: Nils Solberg guitar, who has played from The Kremlin to The Royal Albert Hall, George Trebar double bass and a leading player on the gypsy jazz scene, and Mez Clough drums, a London-based player for the main jazz venues in the UK.
“Since Adrian's last appearance at the club, there have been passionate and growing calls for his return, a return which promises to deliver a spectacular evening of the finest music, all tantalisingly wrapped in Adrian's irresistible playing style, with its syncopated fluidity and lilting cadences.”
Colin added: “This September meeting opens our new season and is membership renewal evening, so join us in a glass of fine wine and renew your membership for the coming year: annual membership is £10.”
Steyning Jazz Club meets at The Steyning Centre, Fletcher’s Croft, 8.30pm. Doors open 7.30pm. Information from Denis Cummings on 01903 814017.

BREAKING: Search for ‘missing swimmer’ at beach days after tragedy
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Police have confirmed they are looking for a missing swimmer at Camber Sands – days after five men lost their lives at the beach.
A coastguard helicopter is circling above Camber Sands, and a spokesperson for the RNLI confirmed they had lifeboats at the scene.
Sussex Police said they were called to the scene after a member of the public contacted them and the coastguard at Camber Sands after seeing an abandoned pair of flip flops next to the sea and a female diving into the water at this location.
A spokesperson added: “Officers at the scene are doing coastal checks to see if there are any persons swimming having difficulty”.
An RNLI spokesperson said the search for the ‘potentially missing swimmer’ was being co-ordinated by Sussex Police and the coastguard, and that their lifeguards were keeping watch from the beach with binoculars.
This search comes after five men lost their lives at Camber Sands last week, and the RNLI donated lifeguards to patrol the beach over the Bank Holiday weekend. Click here to read more.

Warning to runners over Chichester half marathon
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Organisers are well ahead with planning for the fifth running of the Chichester Half Marathon since it was revived in 2012 - and would-be entrants are being urged not to miss out.
The race takes place on Sunday, October 9, and is a challenging multi-terrain race which this year has some additional events included.
It is a good mixture of road, paths, cycle tracks and cross country and will start at 9am from the Chichester College race village.
The route takes in major city-centre sights and landmarks as well as spectacular rural scenery in the surrounding Lavant and Goodwood countryside.
Organisers are the Chichester-based charity Children on the Edge in conjunction with the sports development team at Everyone Active, the firm which has taken over district council sport and leisure services.
They have again been overwhelmed by the response from those returning and new runners alike and are hoping to reach an increased entry limit of 1,500 runners. Already some 650 have entered.
The Chichester Half has been going from strength to strength each year since we revived it in 2012. We’re really excited for this year because there are some new competitions and prizes. Ben Wilkes
It is suitable for people of all abilities over the age of 17.
There are two additional opportunities for 2016. There will be for the first time the possibility of starting and finishing with the half-marathon race but cutting out three miles to make a multi-terrain ten miler.
This will give the runners the benefits of running through the city and climbing two thirds of the Trundle, with all the splendid views of the Solent, but without the challenge of the final climb to the summit – and there will be a shorter route back to the Lavant Valley.
Also new is a three-person team relay. This will have the same start and finish as the half marathon and be run over the same course but will be completed by a team of three different runners.
This can be three male runners from an athletics club, three female runners from an athletics club or three runners of either sex representing a works team, a bona-fide club, or family or friends.
The course will be divided into three legs and each runner takes a different leg.
Ben Wilkes, head of Children on the Edge in the UK, said: “The Chichester Half has been going from strength to strength each year since we revived it in 2012. We’re really excited for this year because there are some new competitions and prizes, lots of local business support and a real buzz in the community about race day.
“Not only this, but the money raised makes a huge difference to the vulnerable children we work with. Everyone can get involved, whether it’s running, volunteering or cheering on from the streets, so please do join us on the big day.
“For the 2016 event we have launched a ‘Run for Refugees’ challenge in Chichester to fundraise for thousands of displaced children across the world”.
Local sponsors Montezuma’s and Store Property are again supporting the event. Both have directors who are keen athletes.
The works trophy has proved popular since it was first introduced in 2014 and again will berun in 2016. Early indications are many more businesses are considering entering this year.
Any organisation or business can enter as many people as they wish to compete for the Trophy but it is the first three finishers on race day who will make up the scoring team.
Back after its successful introduction in 2015 is the King and Queen of the Hill competition. Male and females will compete to see who is the quickest climber of the Trundle between two points – Seven Ways Car Park and the end of the flint track at the point where the course starts to go round the summit.
To be eligible runners must enter the half marathon, start the race in Westgate, complete the hill-climb section and also be a recorded as a finisher in the Chichester College car park.
Prospective runners are advised to get entries in early. The race limit cannot be exceeded.

Selsey Academy pupils celebrate their GCSE results

Year 11 pupils from Selsey Academy were smiling today despite recent events as they found out their GCSE results.
The students collected their grades from Seal Primary School following the huge fire that destroyed 75 per cent of the Academy building last week.

Headteacher Tom Garfield said that today, particularly from 10am to 12am, the focus should be on celebrating the students’ achievements.
He said: “These two hours are about our year 11 students from Selsey Acedemy, their success, their results, their future.
“For two hours [the fire] can wait, they deserve our attention, they deserve our support and they deserve our congratulations.”
He added that he was very proud of the school’s Progress 8 score of 0.26 and the academy’s best ever English results at 70% A*-C.

Among the high-achievers was Katie Byrne, who plans to take A-Levels in biology, chemistry and maths at Havant College after getting 1A* and 7As.
The talented teenager also achieved a bronze medal in a national swimming competition this year.
“I did better than I thought I would in some of them,” she said. “I’m looking forward to going to college, it’ll be hard, but a bit of a challenge.”
Charlotte Harding was pleased with her 1A, 5Bs, 4Cs and ECDL computing certificate, but she was particularly proud of her B in French, which had taken months of effort.
She said: “I found it really hard, but I worked really hard and the teacher was amazing.”
Charlotte plans to go to Chichester College, although she wants to wait to look at her options before picking a course.
“I think you have to really enjoy what you do, otherwise it’s not going to be worth it,” she explained.

Sussex collapse changes course of Glamorgan clash
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Graham Wagg’s three wicket burst in four balls completely changed the course of Sussex’s innings and also the game as the visitors lost their last eight wickets for only 51 runs in 25 overs.
The Glamorgan seamer thrived in the cloudy conditions, and during his spell also claimed his 200th first class wicket for Glamorgan.
Sussex were indebted to Chris Nash, who struck the 22nd century of his career, before Glamorgan reached 50 for 1 in their second innings- a lead of 19.
Sussex had resumed on 111 for 1 with night watchman Danny Briggs giving Nash useful support, and the second wicket pair had added 69 before Nash called his partner for a risky single in the last over before lunch with Briggs comfortably run out for 36.
Briggs had been fortunate to survive an excellent opening spell against Tim Van Der Gugten who regularly passed the outside edge, but Briggs’ determination carried him through until his dismissal.
Nash, meanwhile played watchfully, sharing a partnership of 52 with Luke Wells before Wells was bowled by Craig Meschede, and at 232 for 3, Sussex were in sight of a substantial first innings lead before Wagg’s dramatic over and the subsequent collapse.
Nash had completed his third championship century of the season from 284 balls with 18 fours, when Wagg began his 18th over; with his second ball Christian Davies edged to the wicketkeeper, his fourth dismissed Luke Wright who wafted outside the off stump, then the next delivery bowled David Wiese.
An early tea was then taken because of bad light, which might have made the three batsmen dismissed by Wagg wonder why the decision had not been taken before the over had started.
After the break, Nash’s six and half hour vigil ended when he was bowled by Van Der Gugten for 132, and the tail quickly followed with Glamorgan’s seamers rewarded for their accuracy throughout the innings.
Apart from David Lloyd, who only bowled one over, Van der Gugten, Meschede and Wagg’s economy rate was under three runs an over with Hogan’s under two.
When Glamorgan started their second innings, 31 runs adrift, Selman did manage to get off the mark after four successive ducks, but did not last long before he was leg before in Steve Magoffin’s second over.
Nash praised Glamorgan’s bowlers after his century: “They bowled really well, in the right areas, and kept it tight throughout the innings”.
He also praised Briggs who as nightwatchman put on 69 for the second wicket, saying: “Danny helped me a lot and is in the form of his life with the bat these days. We are still in the game, and need to fight back tomorrow.”

POLL: Sussex drivers ‘will travel 67 miles’ during Bank Holiday
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The average driver in Sussex will be travelling 67 miles over the Bank Holiday, a new poll has found.
More than 2,000 motorists from around the area were asked where they would be travelling over the three-day break, and how much they would be using their vehicles.
More than half – 52 per cent – said they would be using their car, and one in ten said they would be going away for the Bank Holiday.
The most popular scenic route around the UK driven by motorists in Sussex is around Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, with more than one in five, 22 per cent, having taken this road.
More than two thirds of motorists from this area, 69 per cent, have been on a driving holiday, more than any other region in the UK according to the poll commissioned by Confused.com.
And it’s not a surprise when just over four-fifths – 81 per cent – of those questioned said that they enjoy driving.
Abroad, more than a quarter – 26 per cent – of South East motorists said they would like to take the Route 66, the famous road in America which spans a distance of more than 2,000 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica.

Rosenior ruled out of Newcastle trip
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Liam Rosenior has been ruled out of Brighton’s Championship trip to Newcastle United on Saturday.
The full-back suffered an ankle injury following a late challenge by Yann Kermorgant in the 2-2 league draw at Reading.
Albion boss Chris Hughton admitted with strong swelling still around the area, Rosenior will not be included in his side’s squad for the trip to St James’ Park.
He said: “Liam will miss out. He is still a little bit sore, we are still having to assess that one and are waiting for a little bit of the soreness to go before we are able to assess it.”
Dale Stephens is available but Hughton is still to make a decision on whether the midfield man will travel.
Solly March continues his comeback from injury with an under-23 game tomorrow, while defender Connor Goldson is pencilled in for a under-23 match next week.

Brighton band Fickle Friends to play at Reading and Leeds
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Fickle Friends may be under the radar at the moment, but Charlotte Pearson predicts big things.
For anyone heading to Reading and Leeds festivals this weekend or Together the People next month, you might be forgiven for thinking that Fickle Friends are the new kids on the block.
However, the Brighton band have been a firm fixture on the festival circuit for the last two years playing Bestival, BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Secret Garden Party.
“We have been going for a while,” says lead singer Natti Shiner. “But it isn’t until you get played on commercial radio that people say ‘oh wow those guys have come from nowhere’.
“The 1975 have been going for about eight years under different guises but it is only really now people are starting to take notice.”
Natti formed the band, made up of Harry Herrington on bass; Chris Hall on lead guitar; Sam Morris on drums and Jack Wilson on keyboards, about three years ago when the quintet met at the University of Brighton.
The name came not long after they formed, with Natti explaining that Fickle Friends was just meant to be a name to tide them over and the plan was initially to change it to something else.
“As time went on it kind of just stuck so we kept with it,” she smiles.
The band’s first EP Velvet was released in 2015 and Natti says they were very much a ‘DIY band’.
“That has shifted now as we have signed with a record label,” she explains. “The first EP we did ourselves and worked really hard to get it out.
“We have the luxury of someone else doing the work now and telling us when the singles are coming out.
“It is exciting and everything is a lot more structured than it was before.”
Releasing an EP was a great way for the band to show people what they are all about and Natti reveals that it got the band the buzz they needed to get noticed.
This lead to them being signed, with work then able to begin on an album which should be released at the end of this year.
The plan for the band is to record 17 songs and then pick the ones that will make the album.
“We are always writing and figuring out what we want the album to be,” explains Natti.
Fickle Friends’ sound has been described as upbeat with an 80s synth-pop feel to it, which is probably best illustrated by single ‘Swim’.
It is clear that many of their songs wouldn’t sound out of place on the 2011 film Drive’s motion picture soundtrack – something that crossed Natti’s mind when she heard former Radio 1’s DJ Zane Lowe curate such a thing with the likes of Bastille, The 1975, and CHVRCHES.
“I would love for the BBC, or anyone, to do a re-imagining of the soundtrack again. We would love to get on it and think our sound would fit really well,” she enthuses.
As for musical influences, Natti lists bands like Bombay Bicycle Club, Justice, Two Door Cinema Club, Friendly Fires and Michael Jackson, and admits you can hear a bit of all of them in Fickle Friends.
“Our sound has changed a lot over the years. I think it has got a lot more intelligent,” she reveals.
“Before it was really hectic and chaotic, but it would be because we would play bits and be like ‘oh I love that, put that in’, ‘that is great we need to have that’, so we would get it all in.
“Now we use sounds that complement each other so it works better as a song.”
The last few months have been hectic for the band, with a diary filled with festival appearances as well as trying to fit in recording their new album in LA.
“Our weekends would be filled with festivals then we would head over to America to record the album and then back over here for a performance,” reveals Natti.
The band have never played a festival in Brighton before so Natti says they are really looking forward to performing at Together the People this month at Preston Park.
The summer may be over, although many might debate it never really started, but thanks to Fickle Friends at least the sound of summer can continue well until the end of the year.
Fickle Friends will play the NME/Radio 1 stage at Reading Festival on Friday, August 26, and the same stage at Leeds Festival on Saturday, August 27.
Together the People takes place on September 3 and 4 at Preston Park, Brighton.
Other performers include Suede, Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds, Peter Hook and the Light, The Horrors and Turin Breaks.

Hughton relishing Newcastle return
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Chris Hughton is looking ahead to making just a third return to former side Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Brighton boss guided Newcastle to promotion from the Championship back in 2010 as they sealed a Premier League return at the first time of asking.
Unbeaten Albion travel to St James’ Park in good form, sitting second in the league and they are still yet to taste a defeat this season.
But having managed there before, Hughton is all too aware of Newcastle’s qualities and the test his team will face.
He said: “I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. It was a very good staff, a very passionate club and all the people that work around the club are all mad Newcastle supporters as well.
“It’s one that you look forward to but I think it’s also a club and a stadium that I think graces this division.
“I think most teams will look forward to going to them but in other ways it will be a little bit daunting for everybody because they are a team that will be up there come the end of the season.”
Brighton have been boosted with the news Newcastle strikers Dwight Gayle and Alexander Mitrovic have both been ruled out of Saturday’s encounter.
Despite those two missing, Hughton believes whoever Magpies boss Rafa Benitez brings in will be a handful for his defenders.
He added: “I was a little bit surprised because I know the comment after their most recent match was that they would both be available. A little bit surprised with that but it does not really alter too much and still makes it as difficult game as it was.
“They can afford to have the squad that they have had and they have recruited very well, so whatever team or formation will be strong.”
With the summer transfer window closing on Wednesday, Hughton admits he may well do some business before the door slams shut.
Brighton’s boss said: “Hopefully we’re not too busy because we don’t need to do too much. We will only do something if it is right for us and that’s whether it be in or out.
“A possibility could see a couple go out on loan but that’s only if we do some business and I’m not desperate for it.
“We’ve got a good competitive squad, players coming back from injury which adds to that but if we can finish the window having the best possible squad we can, then that will be a plus for us.”

Five-star Rocks romp to win over Worthing
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Bognor blew away neighbours and big rivals Worthing with a five-star show in front of a 1,006 bank holiday crowd at Nyewood Lane.
The Rocks dominated from the first kick to the last and were well on their way to victory by the time Worthing had a man sent off just before half-time at 2-0 down.
There was only gonig to be one result from the moment Thomas Byrne headed them in front, and further goals from Ollie Pearce, James Fraser (2) - the second of his being a goal of the season contender - and Dylan Barnett made it a perfect day for Bognor and an awful one for Worthing.
The neighbouring sides were meeting in a league game for the first time since 2012 following Worthing’s promotion from Ryman one south via the play-offs.
Both sides went into the game on the back of good starts to the season and Bognor were sixth and Worthing fifth at the start of play.
Pearce was first to threaten with a shot on the turn in the fourth minute that took a deflection and flew out for a corner as the Rocks began by doing most of the attacking.
Soon Fraser went close with a near-post header from a corner that was just kept out by a defender’s block.
Bognor were playing some lovely stuff early on. Byrne took too long to try to put the finishing touches to one forward move - then the same player had an effort blocked after Barnett and Pearce’s exchange of passes set him up 12 yards out.
On 13 minutes Pearce’s run down the left ended with a cross that was perfect for unmarked Fraser, but he didn’t make a clean connection and it trickled wide.
The Rocks’ early enterprise deserved a goal and it came on the quarter-hour mark as Barnett’s long, straight cross from the left was glanced in by Byrne to send the home fans wild.
Bognor were forced into a change when Doug Tuck had to be replaced by Darren Budd, apparently after picking up an injury.
Scorer Byrne was booked for a late challenge on Harvey Sparks on halfway as Worthing tried to break to get back on level terms.
Pearce was close to doubling the lead after a smart 1-2 with Barnett down the left led to him cutting inside and curling a right-foot shot that brought an excellent diving save out of Rikki Banks.
Pearce was just as close a minute later with a curling effort that this time beat the keeper but went the wrong side of the post.
When Worthing did find space for a shot on goal, Reis Stanislaus sent one over the clubhouse roof.
Dan Beck was booked for a challenge on Stanislaus as the visitors finally managed to get some possession in the Rocks half.
Byrne was perfectly placed on 33 minutes to meet a Barnett cross but his low sidefooted effort was smothered by Banks.
Then Byrne twisted in the box to create an opening but a defender slid in to deny him.
Ex-Selsey man Omar Bugiel ought to have made it 1-1 ten minures before the break as Stanislaus played him in on goal, but with only Billy Granger to beat, he dragged his shot wide - and immediately pulled his shirt over his head, knowing what a good chance he had missed.
There was a minor scare for the Rocks when Sami El-Abd left a free-kick as it was lofted goalwards - he thought it was going out but Stanislaus kept it in, but Granger gathered the ball in from the byline.
It was 2-0 thanks to Pearce on 42 minutes. Pearce himself made the goal, twisting and turning in the box and sqauring to Byrne - andwhen the keeper pushed out his shot, Pearce connected with the rebound and put it past Banks.
Worthing were rattled and Zak Newton was sent off in the dying minutes of the first half. It came after he tangled with El-Abd after the pair challenged for a high ball.
Soon after, El-Abd went into the book - rather harshly - for a foul on Stanislaus. From the free-kick, Granger made a good save to prevent Worthing getting one back.
As the players came off for the break, there were a few comments flying around and one or two players from both sides had to be kept a safe distance from one another.
The referee had picked up a glass and a bottle which ended up on the edge of the pitch behind Granger’s goal.
HT 2-0
Walter Figueira came on for El-Abd at the start of the second half - perhaps because the booked defender was involved in a couple of flashppoints just before the break.
Budd almost took advantage of a defensive mix-up seven minutes into the second half, forcing a good save from Banks after a defender had headed the ball out to him as the keeper was about to gather a high ball.
It was a relatively-sedate start to the second half but it was the Rocks doing most of the attacking.
Bognor had the ball in the net again on 59 minutes after dispossessing Worthing just outside their box but an offside flag was up.
Five minures later it was in the net again and this time it did count as Fraser shot low past Banks.
Pearce was keen to get his name on the scoresheet and won a corner as his shot was halfp-blocked at the end of a surging run down the inside right channel.
Both sides made a change - Worthing brought on Matt Axell for Matt Piper and Bognor replaced Pearce with Jimmy Muitt.
There was a bit of unrest behing Granger’s goal with one fan escorted from the ground and a section of the Worthing fans setting off some kind of smoke bomb.
Budd was the latest in a long line of players shown a yellow card foe=r pulling back an opponent.
Fraser ought to have scored the Rocks’ fourth when he was sent through with Bank to beat but he rolled the shot wide of the far post.
The same player saved the best til last when he doubled his tally and put Bognor 4-0 with 11 minutes to go. Again he was played in down the right, but with work to do. Not unlike Gazza in England’s Euro 1996 win against Scotland, he lifted the ball over a defender then smashed a volley beyond Banks and into the far corner.
Bognor weren’t content with four and Fraser almost completed a hat-trick but couldn’t force the ball in at the near post from a corner.
It was 5-0 with two minutes to go as Worthing were robbed of possession deep in their own territory. Sub Figueira weaved his way to the byline and cut it back for Barnett who drove a right-footed effort into the top corner to complete a perfect day for Bognor and a miserable one for Worthing.
Byrne’s solo run might have earned a sixth in stoppage time but he shot narrowly wide.
Rocks: Granger, Sanders, Crane, Tuck, Charman, El-Abd, Fraser, Beck, Byrne, Pearce, Barnett.Subs: Wild, Budd, Figueira, Robinson, Muitt.
Worthing: Banks, Piper, Rents, Wills,Elphick, Metcalf, Newtown, O’Neill, Stanislaus, Bugiel, Sparks. Subs: Axell, Edwards, Brodie, Punter, Fagan.

Festival workshops will spark children’s interest in science
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A two-man mission to spark children’s interest in science has taken to the streets.
The Pocket Science Festival is currently on a tour of Sussex, taking in Brighton, Worthing, Eastbourne and Billingshurst.
Created by science magicians Richard Robinson and Jonathan Hare, from BBC’s Rough Science, it promises a fantastic afternoon out for the whole family.
Richard, director of Brighton Science Festival, said: “It looks like a funfair – it is a funfair – but each of the attractions has a bit of science to enthral and enthuse young minds.
“It’s a two-man science mission to spark children’s curiosity with fun and interactive workshops and talks.”
With a wealth of hands-on activities, the self-contained education roadshop has been roaming the county and beyond for the last ten years, fostering learning and co-operation while inspiring young people with the everyday wonders of science.
The ever-growing line-up is packed with a whole host of new tricks, demonstrations and games, alongside old favourites such as the Heath Robinson inspired contraption, the Incredible Machine.
New additions include zip-wire seagull bombing and the opportunity for children to grow several times their original size, or shrink to the size of a pin.
The tour, suitable for children aged seven to 14 and their families, began in Brighton last Tuesday and continues at the Sidney Walter Centre, Worthing, on Wednesday, August 31.
The festival then moves to The Under Ground Theatre, Eastbourne, on Thursday, September 1; the Billingshurst Centre on Friday, September 2, and back to Brighton, to the Synergy Centre, on Saturday, September 3.
All events run from 11am to 4pm and entry is £3, under sevens free.

Defender hopeful he made his point to Cook
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Tom Davies savoured his Pompey league debut and reflected: I seized my chance.
Davies is hopeful he’s given Paul Cook no choice but to leave him in the side after an impressive showing in the 1-0 success at Exeter.
The defender put in a powerful performance at St James Park as the Blues picked up their third shutout in four outings.
Victory was also Pompey’s first maximum on the road this season as they chalked up back-to-back successes.
Davies feels he’s had to show patience following his summer arrival from Accrington Stanley.
But he’s now confident he’s laid down a marker and seized his opportunity.
Davies said: ‘It was nice to finally start in the league for my new team.
‘It’s been a while coming and I’ve had to be patient. The lads who’ve come in have done really well.
‘So I knew when I had the chance I had to grasp it. Hopefully I’ve given the gaffer a problem when it comes to picking the team.
‘There’s a lot of good players there, although Jack (Whatmough) has had the injury and it’s been tough for him.
‘So I’ve had to bide my time but hopefully I’ve given the gaffer no option but to leave me in.
‘I came here to play. I’ve not come to Pompey to get away from home or move to the seaside.
‘So I’ve hopefully shown the gaffer what I can do and he’ll leave me in.’
Davies formed a sound partnership with Christian Burgess at the back as they repelled Exeter.
That was after he came in at the expense of Adam Barton in one of two changes from the win over Colchester.
Davies feels the players have the right attributes to form a strong link-up in the middle of Pompey’s back four.
He said: ‘Burge is a great player.
‘I’ve watched him from the sidelines for the last few weeks.
‘I know what he can and can’t do and hopefully I complemented him.
‘I don’t mind who I play with really, but being selfish I want to be on the pitch myself.
‘Hopefully me and Burge can start something good, though, and we can keep more clean sheets now. I think we blend together quite well.
‘He’s been good so far this season.
‘I’m a bit more aggressive and put my head on things and go out and put in tackles.
‘He keeps me in check, though, because I have a tendency to be a bit too aggressive at times.
‘All of the experience across that back five helps.’
Gary Roberts’ 85th-minute penalty was the difference between the two sides on Saturday.
But that paved the way for late Exeter pressure as the home side pushed for an equaliser.
There were also a number of blocks from Pompey in the second half which were important to the success.
Davies said: ‘It felt solid and to keep a clean sheet is important.
‘Teams aren’t going to come up against us and just give us the win.
‘You could see how desperate they were for the result and how much they stepped up their game because they were playing us.
‘They threw everything at us after Robbo scored the pen.
‘But, by hook or by crook, we stopped them.’

Hamlet in the open air
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The Festival Players Theatre Company bring their outdoor summer tour of Shakespeare’s Hamlet to the Brighton Open Air Theatre (BOAT) on Thursday, August 31.
Spokeswoman Su Gilroy said: “This year is the 400th anniversary of the death of the nation’s (arguably the world’s) greatest playwright, William Shakespeare, and The Festival Players Theatre Company is proud to present his most famous play, Hamlet. This theatre company from Gloucestershire, which has been touring professional outdoor Shakespeare productions for over 30 years, is taking the play across the UK and into Europe.
“Presented in full costume, an all-male company brings the excitement of this great thriller: intrigue, ghostly visitations, passion, a play-within-a-play, a gripping duel, and humour, in a crystal-clear and fast-paced two-hour production.
“The players perform more than 80 shows over the summer across England, Scotland, Wales and the Isles of Scilly and as far afield as Belgium, Berlin, the Netherlands and Norway, at an increasingly varied number of locations from stately homes to London commons, Scottish castles to English village greens, island botanical gardens to Roman amphitheatres.”
Su added: “Thought to have been first performed in 1600 and possibly the greatest tragedy in the English language, Hamlet is a story of revenge. Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, is haunted by the ghost of his father, who tells him that he was murdered by his own brother, Claudius. Claudius not only wears the late king’s crown but has also married his wife, Gertrude, Hamlet’s mother. Hamlet has lost his father and his opportunity to be king, and possibly his sanity; can he believe the ghost, and if so how should he exact revenge? And who else will suffer along the way?”
Festival Players Artistic Director Michael Dyer has reduced the play to two hours.
He said: “Our shows are an amalgam of energy, entertainment and colour, and we aim to make them clear and transparent, as well as keeping them short for the comfort of our patrons. We set out to take audiences of all ages on a journey and make them feel very much part of the production.
“A small cast of six play multiple roles demanding quick costume changes, as well as performing as singers and musicians. This gives an exciting opportunity for the actors to show their energy and versatility.”
This will be Michael’s 12th all-male production in a row for the Players: “It is, of course, totally authentic. We are following in the footsteps of Shakespeare’s own Globe Theatre when all roles were taken by men. The Players have built a reputation for strong, all-male shows over the past eleven years.”
Last year The Festival Players toured As You Like it and Henry IV and many of those actors have returned this year. The title role of Hamlet will be played by Benjamin Way, who was Rosalind in As You Like It and Poins, Justice Shallow and Prince John in Henry IV. Mark Spriggs was Falstaff in Henry IV and Touchstone in As You Like It, and this year will play Claudius. Joel Daffurn, who has been with the company since 2013, will play Laertes, Guildenstern and the First Player, and taking the roles of Polonius, Gravedigger and Second Player is Paul Mills, also with the company since 2013. Michael Dyer himself will play the part of the ghost of Hamlet’s Father.
Newcomers to the company this year are Lee Peck and Jonny James-Jones, both of whom trained at East 15 Acting School. Lee Peck will be playing Gertrude and Horatio and has previously played Romeo in Romeo & Juliet and Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the Young Shakespeare Company, and was Malcolm in a radio production of Macbeth. Jonny James-Jones will be playing Ophelia, Rosencrantz and Osric.

Observer photographer stopped from taking pictures at public A27 event

www.chichester.co.uk

A photographer working for the Observer was stopped from taking pictures at the latest A27 public exhibition.
Derek Martin attended Lavant Memorial Hall on Tuesday to photograph members of the public viewing the plans at the Highways England event.
The sign at the door saying Hlighways England Welcome
A Highways spokesperson has said the photographer was asked to contact the media team, and invited into the exhibition ‘in a private capacity in the meantime’.
Derek said: “I arrived at Lavant Memorial Hall to photograph members of the public viewing the A27 exhibition.
“On arrival I immediately spoke to the gentleman sat behind the desk just inside.
“I explained that I had been sent by the Chichester Observer to take photos. I was asked to wait while he got someone to talk to me.
“A woman representing Highways England then said I would not be allowed to take photos without first going through their media team.
“So I had to leave with only pictures of the hall from outside.”
Derek added: “Just inside, ‘Highways England, welcome’ can be seen on a board.
“I was not welcome - a first at such an event in 36 years as a local press photographer.”
Derek said he was only able to photograph the outside of the village hall.
A Highways England spokesperson said: “We are committed to running a full and open consultation on options for improving the A27 at Chichester.
“Any suggestion that a photographer from the Chichester Observer was ‘banned’ from our event is incorrect and misleading.
“Our event staff asked the photographer to contact the press office, and invited him into the event in a private capacity in the meantime.
“We do ask any media outlet attending any of our events to ring our press office – we take this approach with the dozens of successful events we host every year across the country.
“Media, photographers and members of the public are always very welcome.”
It is not the first incident involving a member of staff from the Observer at a Highways England exhibition.
At the first exhibition held at the Chichester Assembly Rooms in July, reporter Steve Pickthall had a video deleted from his phone without permission by a man representing Highways England. Highways apologised to the reporter and called the incident a ‘misunderstanding’.
At another A27 exhibition a female Observer reporter was told she was not allowed to ask Highways officials any questions at the event.

Grandparents to the rescue over school summer holidays
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
More than half of the UK’s grandparents are planning to look after their grandchildren over the next few weeks, according to a recent survey.
A poll of more than 8,000 over-50s shows that one in eight grandparents will look after grandchildren once a week over the school summer holidays, with a further one in eight will be on childminding duties twice per week.
However, one in twenty grandparents say they will be hosting their grandchildren three days a week while school is out for the summer, according to the research by Saga Car Insurance.
And it’s not just their time that will be donated - one in five say they will spend well over £200 keeping the children occupied. Days out to the beach (77 per cent) and on shopping trips (35 per cent) are the most popular distractions, although some grandparents are even taking their grandchildren on a holiday either in the UK (14 per cent) or abroad (5 per cent).
Grandparents in the North East are the most likely to babysit grandchildren over the school summer holidays, while those in the East Midlands are least likely to.
The Scots are most likely to spend big on their grandkids, with one in four expecting to spend more than £200 during the school holiday period.
Sue Green, Head of Saga Car Insurance, commented: “It looks as though children are in for an action-packed summer which is full of adventure if nan and granddad are in charge over the next couple of weeks. Grandparents really are generous giving up their time and money to help with childcare over the summer holidays and I’m sure they are really looking forward to spending some quality time with their grandchildren.”

Obama among iconic figures in city art show
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
21 contemporary British figurative artists, established and emerging, cast their gaze over our social, cultural, religious and political icons through their 21st-century looking glasses for the latest exhibition at Chichester’s Candida Stevens Fine Art.
Curated by Candida, new works created for the show will be introduced from Stephen Chambers, Eileen Cooper, Nicola Green, Annie Kevans, Irene Lees and Jane McAdam Freud. Pieces are also featured from Tracey Emin, Nicole Farhi, Grayson Perry and Marc Quinn. Visitors will be able to see images ranging from The Queen to Kate Moss, Barack Obama to Anna Wintour, Marx and Engels to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Mother & Child to the Moon.
Providing the Obama is London-based Nicola Green who is delighted to show her work in Chichester, a place full of family associations for her. Her contribution to the show is a one-off work from her series In Seven Days.
Coming just as President Obama approaches the end of his second term, it represents the sacrifice and personal toll of his presidency as well as being a reflection of the complex nature of the hope that was and still is projected onto him, Nicola explains. The multiple impressions in the work of President Obama echo the different ways in which the press have represented him with lighter or darker skin colour at various points of his presidential career. Nicola explains, the work questions how these representations reflect the mood of the press and public and their responses to the question of identity and race in relation to the first African-American President of the USA.
“I made this piece specifically for the exhibition but part of the wider series which I made in the two years after 2008. I spent a lot of time with President Obama’s first presidential campaign in 2008. Nobody thought he was going to win. My husband was actually the first black Briton to study at Harvard. He was not there at the same time as Obama, but they met some years later. In 2005, he spent some time with Obama, and I was pregnant with my first child. Obama said he was thinking about running for president, and for me, I was thinking about the kind of world that my son might be born into, thinking about the role models and how their experiences are changed by the colour of their skin and how the world view would be different. And I was starting to think about the long-term implications, thinking about the role models in popular culture – or the lack of them. I was rooting for him as president for myself in a personal sense but also as an artist. I started thinking that my children were too young to witness the moment. In 2008, when he was campaigning to get the nomination, my second son was born. My children were very little, and I felt I really wanted to witness these events on their behalf. I felt that as an artist, I had an opportunity to think about the long-term meaning of the story.”
The exhibition runs at Candida Stevens Fine Art, 12 Northgate, Chichester from Sept 10-Oct 22; Tues-Sat, 10am-5pm.

Why anglers should expect the unexpected
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
There’s nothing quite like the unexpected when you go fishing, writes Roger Poole of Petworth and Bognor Angling Club.
Club member Stephen Gray visited the Rother for some float trotting for dace and roach – both provide good fun especially on light tackle.
I think the Arun is one of the best fishing rivers in the south of England – I know of no other river that holds such a wide variety of coarse fish. Roger Poole
So he was surprised to catch not only a barbel and a jack pike but an 8lb 8oz common carp. These roam the river appearing every so often when least expected, and certainly a challenge to any angler. I
Those red letter days are one of the reasons we go fishing. I recall a day on the lower stretches of the Rother at Fittleworth when I was enjoying catching small roach and dace with some perch, all happy to take maggot with my bait tripping the bottom, when regular ground bait attracted the attention of some large chub further downstream.
Chub can often be loners but on this occasion there were several and within a half hour I had caught five with an average weight of three to four pounds.
A couple of bream turned up to complete what was my red letter day on the Rother. Have I been back? You bet – same swim, same bait, same tactics, same result? Sadly no.
Despite the relative July heatwave, the water levels on both rivers and ponds remained relatively high, which has led to excellent catches from the club’s waters.
Our catch report books indicate most anglers are enjoying good sport and it’s good to see more roach, especially in the rivers. Roach have been in decline for some years and get targeted by mink.
They are a shoaling fish and easy prey to mink who were abandoned by some mink farms to roam the countryside and rivers in particular when the fur trade collapsed many years ago.
A spirited attempt to combat the number of mink in rivers by the South Downs National Park will shortly get under way in co-operation with landowners who themselves undertake mink control.
Like mink, otters live and survive on a diet of mainly fish – and fish stocks, despite a slow recovery, are the lifeblood of rivers, ponds and lakes and of course anglers who pay for their pastime.
Mink are a no-no but otters have a rightful place provided they inhabit naturally in rivers with sufficient fish to sustain them. What is wrong is when mankind decide to introduce them without realising the damage to valuable fish stocks and the harm the otters themselves suffer through a lack of food. They then start moving into other areas including private ponds in people’s gardens.
I think the Arun is one of the best fishing rivers in the south of England – I know of no other river that holds such a wide variety of coarse fish, plus the migratory sea trout that find their way into the Rother at Hardham.
The sea trout find their way up so many tributaries on both rivers and this year we have had record catches with all fish being returned. The Arun may be tidal and best fished on a rising or falling tide but its bream are worth it. Best caught on a maggot feeder, these bream shoal in large numbers and are unlike lake bream.
They can put up quite a fight but perhaps are wiser then we imagine. Having charged downstream they decide to flop over, happy to go in the landing net knowing full well once unhooked they go straight back in the river.

The Brighton Factor helps get the Rocks on a roll
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The Rocks have hailed the ‘Brighton factor’ for helping kick-start their season - and they are hoping it extends to help them get the better of Worthing in next week’s big Nyewood Lane derby.
Bognor have taken three young prospects on loan from the Seagulls and two of them - Thomas Byrne and Dylan Barnett - scored to give them their first win of the season, a 2-0 home success over Staines on Tuesday night.
It lifted them into the top half of the Ryman premier table and put them in good spirits for Saturday’s trip to Billericay and Monday’s first ‘big game’ of the season, the 3pm clash with newly-promoted neighbours Worthing.
Byrne is only 17 but has come from nowhere into the Rocks starting line-up. He set up James Fraser’s goal in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Grays and scored the opener versus Staines minutes after seeing a penalty saved.
Howell revealed Adam Hinshelwood, who works with the youngsters at Brighton, had helped them secure the services of Byrne.
“Adam said he had been doing well in the youth team and felt he could do a job for us. Adam knows how we play and knows the Ryman League - and so far Thomas has done really well. He gives us another option up front,” Howell said.
Winning is a habit and breeds confidence, especially in a side so many young players have come into. Jamie Howell
After starting the season with only two strikers - Ollie Pearce and Jimmy Wild - the Rocks now have for. As well as Byrne being added to the mix, Jimmy Muitt is now pushing for a place after coming off the bench for his Rocks bow in Tuesday’s win.
Central defender Sami El Abd is also back in the side after injury. He came on as a sub at Grays, although did immediately give away a penalty, and was man of the match as the team kept their first clean sheet against Staines.
Howell feels the team have improved game on game so far although was a little disappointed not to come home from Grays with a win.
“We could have taken all three points at Grays although possibly didn’t do enough to earn that,” he said.
“But it was excellent to get the first win on Tuesday. We needed it. Our first home game wasn’t great so it was good to see a significant improvement in our second.
“Winning is a habit and breeds confidence, especially in a side so many young players have come into.
“We were one up for a long time against Staines and I had visions of us not finishing them off. Staines had chances and Gary Charman cleared two off the line but we got the second at the very end.”
Howell praised Charman’s reaction to being left out of Tuesday’s starting XI. El Abd replaced him but Howell said: “He didn’t sulk, when he could have done. He’s played well but was left out, but he was professional and did well again when he came on for Chad Field.”
Field has pulled a hamstring and joins utility man Harvey Whyte on the sidelines, but should miss only a couple of weeks.
Howell said Billericay would provide a stiff test with their direct football on Saturday and revealed the whole club was eagerly anticipating Monday afternoon’s derby with Worthing, the rivals’ first league meeting since 2012.
“Worthing have had an excellent start to the season and seem to have momentum after last season’s promotion,” he said.
“I’m pleased we’re playing them. It’s good for the area to have both clubs in the same league. It will be competitive but I’m sure it will be played in the right spirit and the fans will enjoy it.”
It will see a return to Nyewood for former Rocks favourite Kane Wills, who has made a fine start to his Woodside Road career.
Howell said: “I think he’ll get a good reception. He was brilliant for us and I think we were good for him.”

Retirement accommodation set to take over car showroom in Chichester

www.chichester.co.uk
|
New retirement accommodation is set to take over a car showroom at The Hornet, Chichester.
Churchill Retirement Living has been granted planning permission by the council for 35 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, including communal facilities and landscaping – replacing the WKB Toyota showroom currently at the site.
The original application was refused on the grounds that the proposal was ‘contrary to the provisions of the Chichester Local Plan’.
Churchill Retirement Living went to appeal, set to be heard next month, however, withdrew after their second application was approved.
Andrew Burgess, planning director, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped to achieve this positive outcome.
“Our new development in Chichester will follow the same highly successful pattern of all Churchill Lodges, providing high quality, self-contained homes in attractive landscaped grounds.
“Owners have the benefits of a Lodge Manager, 24 hour Careline, Owners’ Lounge and guest suite, and will be in a convenient location close to local shops and amenities.”

Walter Figueira is the latest addition to Bognor’s attacking options.
The winger, who impressed in the pre-season win at Pagham, had his international clearance certificate from Greece completed on Friday afternoon.
He was set to go straight into the squad for today’s visit to Billericay.
After impressing as a junior at Hampton & Richmond, Figueira began his career at Chelsea.
He played 22 games (scoring five goals) for the under-18s and under-21s before injury curtailed his stay at Stamford Bridge. Having been released, he played one game at Hayes and Yeading in the Conference South before moving to Greece.
He joined AO Platania FC, who play in the top division in Greece, and made 11 appearances for them last season. He also played on loan at Acharnaikos, who play in the league below the top division.

Branagh screening in Worthing

www.chichester.co.uk

Worthing WOW (World of Words) Festival announces Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing as part of BFI Presents: Shakespeare on Film.
The season is a UK-wide series of screenings and events celebrating the impact the playwright’s life, work and legacy has had on cinema.
Worthing WOW’s special screening takes place on Thursday, September 15 at the Dome Cinema in Worthing and forms part of national celebrations marking the bard’s 400th anniversary.
Melody Bridges, artistic director of WOW, said: “Kenneth Branagh’s exuberant 1993 adaptation of this classic feel-good comedy stars Mr Branagh himself alongside Emma Thompson, Kate Beckinsale and Hollywood hunks Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves. WOW have received funding from BFI Film/London to host the event and include Worthing as part of this countrywide celebration. They chose Much Ado for its summery romantic feel – a perfect frolic to end your summer.
“Much Ado is being shown in screen two at the historic Dome Cinema, Worthing for one night only, and is being introduced by Miles Leeson, senior lecturer from the University of Chichester who will be giving a brief pre-screening talk about the potent mix of farce and politics in this, one of the Bards most important comedies.”
Presented by the BFI Film Audience Network (FAN) and led by Film Hub London, BFI Presents: Shakespeare on Film will see more than 300 screenings and events taking place across the UK with multiplexes, independent cinemas, film clubs, pop-ups and community venues the length and breadth of the UK.
Melody added: “I'm thrilled to share this uplifting film with Worthing audiences. Worthing WOW has been looking for a really special way to tie in with the celebrations of Shakespeare this year – and this evening is our way of Worthing being a part of these national events. I'm excited to learn beforehand from Dr Miles a bit more about the story and then enjoy a glass of Italian white wine whilst watching one of Shakespeare's finest plays on film. "
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said: “Shakespeare might have been a man of the theatre but his work offers endless possibilities to film-makers. Somehow the power of his stories, characters, his all too human resonant and relevant themes of power, politics, family, romance, tragic conflict and joyous comedy, manages to transcend barriers of time and the English language such that specific cultural settings can be interpreted by filmmaking artists, in all different kinds of locations, contexts and languages.”
Much Ado About Nothing is screening for one night only on September 15, 7.30pm at the Dome Cinema; tickets are £5 adult, £4 concs, £3 students available in advance only from http://www.eventbrite.com/e/much-ado-about-nothing-tickets-26898961518.

McDonnell: Rose’s Olympic gold will give golf major boost
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
Golf returned to the Olympics for the first time in more than 100 years at Rio 2016 and it was fantastic to watch, writes Chris McDonnell, Golf at Goodwood academy manager.
I’m thrilled golf is being recognised as an Olympic sport again, as having it shown as part of such a well-recognised event will drive participation.
For those countries developing the game of golf it is a real boost for them to have players there and hopefully it will encourage their governing bodies to invest more in the sport. Seeing players from South America and Asia competing for their nations on the global stage can only benefit the game.
From a UK perspective, it was particularly great to see Justin Rose – a former Golf At Goodwood ambassador – take gold for GB.
Justin is a top bloke and you could see he really embraced the Olympic spirit. He stayed in the Olympic village with other GB athletes and showed huge emotion when he stepped on to the podium.
Those golfers who chose not to compete at the Games, such as Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Jordan Speith, will, I believe, have to have a serious think about their position for the next Olympics in Tokyo 2020. It was a shame they did not play this time and I hope they will be involved next time.
Those golfers who chose not to compete at the Games, such as Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Jordan Speith, will, I believe, have to have a serious think about their position for the next Olympics in Tokyo 2020.
At the Golf At Goodwood Academy, we have been busy holding our summer camps for juniors and we have another before the end of the school holidays. We are really keen to encourage young players to come and try the game and are delighted with the uptake we have had.
One thing many people don’t realise is that golf doesn’t have to be formal or stuffy. We have a very relaxed approach, where families can come and enjoy the game together. We don’t have a dress code and you can even walk your dog on the course.
Both the Downs and Park courses are looking stunning at the moment as we are finally getting some long-overdue summer weather – long may it continue.
Looking ahead, I’m starting to get quite excited about the Ryder Cup next month, where Europe will be hoping to retain their crown against the USA. It is always and enthralling contest.

Chichester and Stirlands keep up promotion pressure
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
The Sussex League season is boiling up nicely for Chichester Priory Park and Stirlands - both won their latest games to remain in the hunt for promotion.
Here are the latest reports...
Chichester Priory Park v Haywards Heath
Sussex League division three
Chichester Priory Park kept up the promotion pressure on the top two with victory over fifth-placed Haywards Heath.
After showers moved away, Chichester captain Johnny Heaven won the toss and asked the visitors to bat.
Next up for Stirlands - now level on points with Rottingdean in the race for second place - is a visit by league leaders Slinfold.
Haywards Heath made a cautious start with just 63 runs trickling off 20 overs. Opener Chris Blunt made a patient 38 before he was bowled by Heaven. Blunt’s innings summed up Haywards Heath’s batting: plenty of batsmen made starts but no-one kicked on.
Credit to bowlers Dan Joseph (4-72) and Matt Geffen (3-54), who had a knack for dismissing batsmen at crucial times. Runs flowed towards the end of the innings as Haywards Heath captain Callum Smith (44) and David Woodfield (39) pushed the score along.
The visitors sclosed their innings on 204 for eight.
Chichester got a lifeline when both openers were dropped in the slip cordon before the score reached double figures.
Will Futcher didn’t last too much longer and was caught behind for 14. Simon Hasted followed not long afterwards, dismissed ‘hit wicket’ when he fell on to his own stumps.
As last week against Mayfield, George Stephens helped to steady the ship with an entertaining 41. His innings included two huge sixes that threatened to clear the Roman Wall that surrounds one side of Priory Park.
His aggressive partnership with Sam Harvey took the match away from the visitors. Even when Stephens was dismissed, Harvey found another able partner in Ben Caldera (26).
The loss of two late wickets took a little gloss off the performance but Chichester schased down their target with two overs to spare, winning the match by four wickets.
Later, news filtered through that the two teams above Chichester, Burgess Hill and Portslade, had both lost. Chichester have closed the gap on Portslade to 13 points and they are only 27 points off the leaders.
Chichester’s final home game couldn’t be more critical – they take on Portslade in what could prove to be a winner-takes-all match for promotion. The message from the club is: Please gete down to Priory Park on Saturday to offer your support to the team.
Rottingdean v Stirlands
Sussex League division four
Stirlands held on for a draw away to promotion rivals Rottingdean.
Things started well for the home side, winning the toss and batting first and finding runs rather easy to come by as openers Islam and Ledden punished the youthful bowling line-up, putting 54 on for the first wicket before Stirlands’ overseas Ajinkya Deshpande struck.
Dark clouds began to roll in and there were three breaks for rain. For the visitors these proved a welcome relief as the home side were scoring with ease; peppering the boundary, assisted by sloppy fielding.
Stirlands finally broke the second-wicket stand of 95 and captain George Coles’ introduction of spin at both ends proved a game-changer as Rottingdean slipped from 149 for one to 203 for nine, with young George Briance taking his first five-wicket haul of the season – leaving Stirlands 47 overs to chase.
The home side removed the dangerous Leo Wilkinson-Beal and George Briance cheaply to leave the visitors 14 for two.
Stirlands found scoring tricky against a well-drilled fielding side as the experienced pair of Will Gubbins and Torquil Deacon looked to rebuild.
But 49 for two suddenly became 50 for six as home captain George Ledden’s canny off-spin ripped through the middle order, leaving captain Coles and Deshpande with the task of saving the game.
Coles refused to be drawn into any attacking shot as the overs were ticked off. Entering the final over, with Deshpande already out, Coles was trapped lbw for 19 off 71 deliveries.
Rottingdean couldn’t find the final two wickets and the match ended as a draw.
Next up for Stirlands - now level on points with Rottingdean in the race for second place - is a visit by league leaders Slinfold and as now they are level on points with Rottingdean; 30 points if they want to secure promotion.

Watching the greats at close quarters
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

Trevor Payne has enjoyed more than three decades of success with his touring rock ‘n’ roll variety show That’ll Be The Day, a recreation of popular music from the 50s to the 70s with plenty of added humour.
Its latest stop is Southsea’s Kings Theatre on Sunday, September 4 at 7.30pm.
Ask where he learnt his trade, and it was back in his home town Worthing where he enjoyed the best seat in the house: “My growing up was in Worthing at the Golden Key Club,” Trevor reminisces. “That was followed on from one of the most famous venues there used to be in Worthing, called The Mexican Hat. When it had been refurbished, it became The Golden Key Club. I used to watch the shows at The Golden Key Club when I was 16 or 17, and when I was 18, I used to play at The Golden Key Club. We were the resident band there, and we would be playing there six nights a week. That would be 1966. I remember seeing Dave Dee and the Bostons before they became Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. And then we transferred over to the Pier Pavilion and we would support every act that came down there on Thursdays. We were the support to bands like The Dave Clark Five and Herman’s Hermits and The Hollies and The Kinks and The Moody Blues. Those were all the acts that I would watch close up from the side of the stage. Jimi Hendrix came down. Cream came down. They used to come down after appearing on Top of the Pops on a Thursday. I suppose they could get down from London quite easily, and if they got delayed, then we would just have to play a bit more. Everyone came down. There was P J Proby. There were Freddie and the Dreamers.
“And they were all good guys. It was all very different then. There were all very approachable and more than happy to talk to anyone. We were all in it together. Maybe the ones that stood out for me were Cream. They were superb musicians, and Jimi Hendrix was extraordinary. And the pop bands like The Dave Clark Five drove the audiences crazy at the time. They had a good, thick sound, and everybody played their instruments.
“They were good tight bands. They knew what they were doing. And we were seeing these guys for the first time. They were still excited about themselves and about their sound. Herman’s Hermits were very tight. It was a real privilege to be there and to be seeing all these bands that close. And that excitement barometer is what I remember from that time when I am thinking about what songs to do in our show.”
Trevor reckons there are a number of reasons why That’ll Be The Day is still going so strong after all these years: “What we wanted to do is a variety show based on rock ‘n’ roll, but not just rock ‘n’ roll. There is dance and singing and music and impressions and comedy solos and big solos, and over the years, we have always tried to improve the quality of what we do.
“The musicians weren’t bad at the start, but eventually I found a bunch of guys that have really gelled together. A couple of guys have been with us 25 or 26 years. Another has been with us 28 years.”

Bognor date for All That Malarkey
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
All That Malarkey (ATM) are back in West Sussex this September to wrap up what musical director David Harrington says has been a “fun-filled, florid and always-exuberant summer tour.”
They will be performing at the Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis, on Saturday, September 10 at 7.30pm.
“We unashamedly love performing at this time of the year, as audiences are crying out to be entertained whilst they enjoy their holidays and occasional bursts of British sunshine,” David said.
“Our classically-trained singers, who specialise in performing brand-new pop-infused arrangements of everything from r’n’b and chart hits to classic rock and jazz, will be performing at the Alexandra Theatre in Bognor Regis and we can’t wait to share our new show Beside The Seaside with local music-lovers and ATM fans old and new. We’re really looking forward to bringing our unique brand of cross-genre, crisp, and quirky music entertainment to the south coast.
“Beside The Seaside is our new summer show that aims to capture the thrills and spills of holidays by the beach, taking a cool dip in the sea and chilling out on a warm Sunday afternoon with a 99 Flake and some Prosecco!
“Our programme will feature a massive variety of songs by The Beach boys, Bill Withers, Gloria Gaynor, Queen, The Spice Girls and everything in between.
“We’re celebrating songs associated with summertime, fun in the sun, flamboyance and most importantly some great up-lifting numbers to leave everyone smiling and utterly elated at our sun-kissed evening show.
“We’re also thrilled to be joined on stage by the Art of Dance and Fitness choir, a fantastic local music group, and we’re so excited to perform alongside their outstanding singers. They’ve got some stunning numbers planned for us!”
It’s all part of ATM’s continuing success: “ATM have been working tirelessly in between shows recording some absolutely-stunning new music videos that will soon be released alongside our fully-revamped website. New recordings will be available on our latest CD to buy at the September 10 gig, and our music videos will be exclusively unveiled on social media very soon.
“Otherwise we have already been preparing for our Christmas tours to end the year. There’s nothing like rehearsing Santa Baby in August!
“And we are looking forward to more corporate and public performances throughout the autumn season. Check out www.allthatmalarkey.com and our Facebook page www.facebook.com/AllThatMalarkey to keep up to date with our gig diary and releases.”

Union in talks over cuts to station ticket offices
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk
|
A union representing Sussex railway station ticket office staff will hold talks with Southern bosses over proposed cuts to opening hours.
Govia Thameslink Railway unveiled proposals earlier this year to introduce ‘station hosts’ selling tickets on the concourses, limiting ticket office opening hours to weekday peak times only at most of its stations in the county.
Station staff represented by the RMT union are already planning to strike on Wednesday September 7, while the Transport Salaried Staffs’ Association are currently balloting its members on industrial action.
The RMT strike coincides with a separate 48-hour walkout planned to start at the same time over GTR’s plans to change the role of conductors on Southern services to on-board supervisors, with drivers operating train doors instead.
The TSSA is attending talks with GTR, hosted by conciliation service ACAS today (Wednesday August 31) in an attempt to head off the cuts.
The results of the TSSA’s strike ballot will be announced on Friday (September 2).
Yesterday Lorraine Ward, TSSA’s organising director, said: “Govia Thameslink’s management of Southern is running the service into the ground.
“It is clear to passengers and staff alike that to serve the public effectively and ensure a safe running of the service, Southern should not reduce current staffing levels.
“This is the largest and busiest franchise in the UK rail network and, up to now, the measures Govia are proposing will simply slash passenger and staff safety standards on this dangerously over-strained service.
“All unions have been resolute in standing firm in the face of this plan and we are now optimistic that Govia will be showing willing to abandon it at tomorrow’s talks.”
Responding to the RMT’s decision to strike over proposed cuts to ticket office opening times late last week, GTR explained that after talks with both unions it had decided to take the original proposals off the table.
Instead the rail operator would be conducting a six months pilot at eight stations using volunteer staff to test the new station host role.
Alex Foulds, GTR’s passenger services director, said: “These pilots would be manned by volunteers on a secondment basis and would allow concerns around personal safety and cash handling to be addressed. Staff would keep their jobs, get more money and many would work fewer hours.
“To call a strike over proposals that no longer exist is a stunning own goal by the RMT leadership.”
Under the original proposals ticket offices at Lancing and Falmer were due to close completely.
Stations at Angmering, Barnham, Bexhill, Bognor Regis, Burgess Hill, Chichester, Crawley, East Grinstead, Eastbourne, Hassocks, Horley, Horsham, Hove, Lewes, Littlehampton, Polegate, Portslade, Shoreham, and Worthing were also due to be affected by the cuts.

Openers are so solid for Sussex
| null | null |
www.chichester.co.uk

The focus at Sussex this season has been very much on nurturing players for the future.
Fast bowlers George Garton, Stuart Whittingham and Jofra Archer have all emerged and played their part in both red and white-ball cricket.

But coach Mark Davis still relies on a core of experienced players – none more so than opening batsman Chris Nash who, along with skipper Luke Wright, is the last survivor of the team which became serial trophy winners a decade ago.
Nash was seriously considered for the captaincy when Ed Joyce stepped down at the end of last season but Davis opted for Wright instead.
The 33-year-old instead poured his energies into re-booting his technique in South Africa under the guidance of Gary Kirsten and on making sure he and Joyce gave Sussex a strong platform in the County Championship.
At Cardiff this week the peerless Joyce passed 1,000 runs for the ninth time in his career and, all being well, Nash will join him on that landmark after making 132 in the first innings against Glamorgan to move onto 994 runs.
Job done, according to Nash.
“At the start of the season we knew it would be a transitional season and that the senior players had to stand up,” he said.
“Ed Joyce and I have put a huge emphasis on our opening partnership and for him to go past 1,000 runs already and me to be on 994 is just what we wanted really, and there are still four more games to go to push on.
We have put a lot of the onus on ourselves to get off to good starts because it takes a bit of pressure off some of the less experienced guys behind us in the middle order.
“I was delighted with the way I played because, on the second day, Glamorgan bowled outstandingly.”
With Essex beating Leicestershire in three days to stretch their lead at the top, Sussex probably need to defeat Glamorgan and win another three matches to have any chance of finishing in the one promotion place.
The likelihood is that Sussex will still be in the second division next season but it remains to be seen whether Joyce, who turns 38 next month, will be striding out with Nash to open the batting.
Davis and Joyce, who is out of contract at the end of the season, will sit down soon to talk about the future but Joyce might be tempted to extend his stay so he can finish his career with 50 first-class hundreds. He is currently on 45.
Meanwhile Nash was among several Sussex players to offer messages of congratulation to coach Phil Hudson, who played club cricket at Horsham with Nash, and his Sussex under-15s after they beat Staffordshire on Thursday to win the Royal London National One-Day final at Kibworth. Among the Sussex team was opening batsman Scott Lenham, who could one day continue the family tradition which is woven into the fabric of Sussex cricket.
His father Neil and grandfather Les both played for the county - as opening batsmen.

I’ve been losing classmates. My husband’s family — his mother, his uncle and two aunties — all had diabetes and passed away before age 55. We were happy just to get to 50 years old. We joyously celebrated every birthday since then. We’re now 59 and 58 years old.

How we battled health issues - and won
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com

I’ve been losing classmates. My husband’s family — his mother, his uncle and two aunties — all had diabetes and passed away before age 55. We were happy just to get to 50 years old. We joyously celebrated every birthday since then. We’re now 59 and 58 years old.
Our story might be different had it not been for the change we made four years ago.
My blood pressure was running up to 150 over 90, quite high since I had been 110 over 70 all of my life. Digestive disorders, stomach cancer and colon cancer run in my family. My husband’s cholesterol was very high — he was borderline diabetic and had borderline hypertension.
But within just eight months of making the changes, our blood pressure dropped back to normal, consistently and without medicine. My husband lost 30 pounds and we didn’t even notice because it came off gradually. He’s no longer borderline diabetic. His bad cholesterol level dived from 289 mg/dL to 108 mg/dL and has stayed that way the past four years. He wasn’t exercising during those eight months. It was pure diet.
Our journey to better health began with my mom, who introduced me to Saladmaster. Because of the concern with the diseases that run in my family, she was looking to change her diet. I attended a Saladmaster demo and buying that piece of Saladmaster cookware pretty much changed my life. I could see the difference in the color of the vegetables.
Even though I’m a mother of six and have cooked most of my life, I wasn’t a very good cook. During the demo, I saw how easy it was to eat vegetables, and because of my husband’s health we decided to try this system of cooking, which involves more plant-based foods, absolutely no salt and no oils. I was so inspired that we started our own garden so our family could grow and eat our own food. Very rarely do we eat out now. When we do buy produce, we try to stay organic and purchase local fruits and vegetables.
My passion for nutrition and plant-based eating continued to grow, so much so that while working at KTA Super Stores (I was there for almost 25 years before leaving to do Saladmaster full time), I was always talking about health. So when KTA had any kind of health event, they would say, “Hey, Auntie Gayle, do you want to cut some salads?” And I said, sure.
So, one day I’m cutting a salad and I see Blue Zones Project, and I said, “Oh my goodness, we’re so like-minded — educating people on how important it is to eat more plant-based foods and see health and well-being thrive in our community.” I gave my name and number and got involved.
I now volunteer to do Blue Zones Project healthy cooking demonstrations, which are free for the community, and I love it. I really feel connected, especially this past event in Pahala. As we did the carrot test, folks saw how vibrant the carrots’ color was in the water.
Then when they tasted it before I had it in the water, and after — it’s like it connects: “Wow! Nutrients. Wow! Color. Wow! Taste.” There was no chemical attack on the food. The richness and the flavors of the vegetables in the food — they could taste it and enjoy it, and that made me happy. If I changed one family in that whole place, I succeeded.
I love that KTA has partnered with Blue Zones Project. I feel like this is a road to good things as far as spreading the word about health and well-being, how easy it is to eat healthy, and how we can use what’s in our backyard or in our produce departments.
I also really like the Blue Zones Project message to families and the community. Gardening together, walking together, down-shifting together and finding a place where you can benefit spiritually — all of those things are me! I feel like that’s my life, that’s my heart for every family. I think the family that eats together and prays together, stays together. Honestly. It’s all around the table.
Food is key, but my dream is to make sure everybody knows how to prepare it properly so it has its maximum nutrition benefit for each person. I am so passionate about seeing others benefit from a plant-based diet that I have cooking lessons in my office every week. It doesn’t matter if we have three people or 20 people. We’ll go for even one because our heart is to change one family at a time.

Brought to Hawaii through an innovative sponsorship by HMSA in collaboration with Healthways Inc. and Blue Zones LLC, Blue Zones Project is a community-by-community well-being improvement initiative designed to enable community members to live longer, happier lives with lower rates of chronic diseases and a higher quality of life.

Fresh from new honors at European swing dance competitions, champions Lisa Clarke and Fabien Vrillon will share their award-winning styling with Hilo dancers in a nine-class workshop Sept. 9-11.
The French Connection workshop — Clarke and Vrillon hail from Grenoble, France — features classes in blues and swing dancing with topics suitable for beginners and experienced Lindy-hoppers (Lindy hop is the original form of swing dance). The classes will also add to the repertoire of students with backgrounds in East Coast or West Coast swing.
Preregistration discount pricing is in effect until Saturday. Most individual classes are $15 preregistered or $20 at the door. There are additional discounts for multiple classes, as well as for students and off-island dancers.
Full information can be found online at hilohepcats.org or by emailing hilohepcats@gmail.com.
Vrillon and Clarke are noted choreographers and performers who have placed highly in European and International swing dance championships for several years. They were featured doing aerials in the hit movie “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and Clarke was invited to dance in the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
The 2016 French Connection workshop is sponsored by the Hilo Hep Cats swing dancers and the Hilo Elks Lodge, hosts of Swinging Saturdays on the first and third Saturdays of each month. The Hilo Hep Cats teach regular classes in Lindy hop, blues, Balboa and Charleston.

2 nuns killed in Mississippi; signs point to home break-in

DURANT, Miss. (AP) — Two nuns who worked as nurses and helped the poor in rural Mississippi were found slain in their home, perhaps victims of a break-in and vehicle theft, officials said Thursday.
Authorities would not say if they have a suspect or what kind of vehicle is missing from the nuns’ home. They also did not release a cause of death, but the Rev. Greg Plata said police told him the sisters were stabbed.
The nuns were identified as Sister Margaret Held and Sister Paula Merrill. Their bodies were taken to a state crime lab for autopsies.
The women, both nurse practitioners, were found Thursday morning when they didn’t report to work at a nearby clinic, where they provided flu shots, insulin and other medical care for children and adults who couldn’t afford it.
“They were two of the sweetest, most gentle women you can imagine. Their vocation was helping the poor,” said Plata, who oversees a 35-member Catholic church the sisters attended.
Maureen Smith, a spokeswoman for the Catholic Diocese of Jackson, said there were signs of a break-in at the home and the nuns’ vehicle is missing.
Authorities didn’t release a motive and it wasn’t clear if the nuns’ religious work had anything to do with the slayings.
“I have an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach,” said Durant Assistant Police Chief James Lee, who is Catholic.
Police Chief John Haynes said officers are canvassing the area and trying to look at video from surveillance cameras in town to see if they spot anything unusual.
Merrill, 68, had worked in Mississippi for more than 30 years, according to the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in Kentucky. She was from Massachusetts and joined the order in 1979.
Two years later, she moved to the South and found her calling in the Mississippi Delta community, according to a 2010 article in The Journey, a publication by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.
When asked about her ministry, Merrill was humble.
“We simply do what we can wherever God places us,” Merrill said.
A video on the order’s website detailed her work, interviewing her and her patients talking about the care they had received.
“What really appalls me is over 60 percent of the children live in poverty,” Merrill said.
During an early part of her career, she helped bring a tuberculosis outbreak under control in the region, said Lisa Dew, who managed the Lexington Medical Clinic where the sisters worked.
“They’ll help anybody they can help. They’ll give you the shirt of their back,” she said.
At the clinic, the sisters cultivated relationships with drug company representatives, who often left extra free samples and asked about how treatment was going for some patients, Dew said.
Merrill saw children and adults, and helped in other ways.
“We do more social work than medicine sometimes,” Merrill told The Journey. “Sometimes patients are looking for a counselor.”
After Hurricane Katrina left much of the town was without power for weeks, the sisters allowed people to come to their house to cook because they had a gas stove.
They were skilled in stretching resources, and routinely produced amazing dishes out of what seemed like a very small garden at their home, said Sam Sample, lay leader of St. Thomas Catholic Church in Lexington, where the sisters were members.
“These ladies didn’t require any fanfare, any bells and whistles. They would just keep their nose to the grindstone, doing what had to be done,” he said.
The small congregation at St. Thomas typically gathered on Thursday nights for Bible study and a meal. Held, a member of the School Sisters of St. Francis in Milwaukee, was known for her baked goods.
“Name it, she could make it. It would melt in your mouth,” said neighbor Patricia Wyatt-Weatherly.
Dr. Elias Abboud worked with the sisters for years and agreed to help build the Lexington clinic because “you could feel their passion about serving the people, helping the poor. They loved it.”
Abboud estimated that the clinic provided about 25 percent of all the medical care in the county, which has a population of about 18,000, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates for July 2015.
The Catholic community in Mississippi is relatively small. Of nearly 3 million people, the diocese said there are about 108,000 Catholics.
The two nuns provided almost all the care at the clinic, and many in the community wondered what would happen to it now — and the people it served.
“I think their absence is going to be felt for a long, long time. Holmes County, it’s one of the poorest in the state,” Dew said. “There’s a lot of people here who depended on them for their care and their medicines. It’s going to be rough.”

Aftershocks rattle Italian quake zone; toll rises to 250

PESCARA DEL TRONTO, Italy (AP) — As the search for survivors ground on, Premier Matteo Renzi pledged new money and measures Thursday to rebuild quake-devastated central Italy amid mounting soul-searching over why the seismic-prone country has continually failed to ensure its buildings can withstand such catastrophes.
A day after the deadly quake killed 250 people, a 4.3 magnitude aftershock sent up plumes of thick gray dust in the hard-hit town of Amatrice. The aftershock crumbled already cracked buildings, rattled residents and closed already clogged roads.
It was only one of the more than 470 temblors that have followed Wednesday’s pre-dawn quake.
Firefighters and rescue crews using sniffer dogs worked in teams around the hard-hit areas in central Italy, pulling chunks of cement, rock and metal from mounds of rubble where homes once stood. Rescuers refused to say when their work would shift from saving lives to recovering bodies, noting that one person was pulled alive from the rubble 72 hours after the 2009 quake in the nearby town of L’Aquila.
“We will work relentlessly until the last person is found, and make sure no one is trapped,” said Lorenzo Botti, a rescue team spokesman.
Worst affected by the quake were the tiny towns of Amatrice and Accumoli near Rieti, 100 kilometers (60 miles) northeast of Rome, and Pescara del Tronto, 25 kilometers (15 miles) further to the east.
Many were left homeless by the scale of the destruction, their homes and apartments declared uninhabitable. Some survivors, escorted by firefighters were allowed to go back inside homes briefly Thursday to get essential necessities for what will surely be an extended absence.
“Last night we slept in the car. Tonight, I don’t know,” said Nello Caffini as he carried his sister-in-law’s belongings on his head after being allowed to go quickly into her home in Pescara del Tronto.
Caffini has a house in nearby Ascoli, but said his sister-in-law was too terrified by the aftershocks to go inside it.
“When she is more tranquil, we will go to Ascoli,” he said.
Charitable assistance began pouring into the earthquake zone in traffic-clogging droves Thursday. Church groups from a variety of Christian denominations, along with farmers offering donated peaches, pumpkins and plums, sent vans along the one-way road into Amatrice that was already packed with emergency vehicles and trucks carrying sniffer dogs.
Other assistance was spiritual.
“When we learned that the hardest hit place was here, we spoke to our bishop and he encouraged us to come here to comfort the families of the victims,” said a priest who gave his name only as Father Marco as he walked through Pescara del Tronto. “They have given us a beautiful example, because their pain did not take away their dignity.”
Italy’s civil protection agency said the death toll had risen to 250 by Thursday afternoon, with more than 180 of the fatalities in Amatrice. At least 365 others were hospitalized, and 215 people were pulled from the rubble alive since the quake struck. A Spaniard and five Romanians were among the dead, according to their governments.
There was no clear estimate of how many people might still be missing, since the rustic area was packed with summer vacationers. The Romanian government alone said 11 of its citizens were missing.
As the search effort continued, the soul-searching began.
Premier Renzi authorized a preliminary 50 million euros in emergency funding and the government cancelled taxes for residents, pro-forma measures that are just the start of what will be a long and costly rebuilding campaign. He announced a new initiative, “Italian Homes,” to answer years of criticism over shoddy construction across the country, which has the highest seismic hazard in Western Europe.
But he also said that it was “absurd” to think that Italy could build completely quake-proof buildings.
“It’s illusory to think you can control everything,” he told a news conference. “It’s difficult to imagine it could have been avoided simply using different building technology. We’re talking about medieval-era towns.”
Those old towns do not have to conform to the country’s anti-seismic building codes. Making matters worse, those codes often aren’t applied even when new buildings are built.
Armando Zambrano, the head of Italy’s National Council of Engineers, said the technology exists to reinforce old buildings and prevent such high death tolls when quakes strike every few years. While he estimated that it would cost up to 93 billion euros ($105 billion) to reinforce all of the historic structures across the country, he said targeted efforts in the riskiest areas could be done for less.
“We are able to prevent all these deaths. The problem is actually doing it,” he told The Associated Press. “These tragedies keep happening because we don’t intervene. After each tragedy we say we will act but then the weeks go by and nothing happens.”
Some experts estimate that 70 percent of Italy’s buildings aren’t built to anti-seismic standards, though not all are in high-risk areas.
Funding shortfalls and bureaucracy are obstacles to making the country’s buildings quake-resistant. A new law tries to encourage homeowners to make their homes earthquake-proof by reimbursing 65 percent of the cost over 10 years, but it isn’t enough to push Italians, who are facing years of economic stagnation, to put up the cash to make the upgrades.
Compounding the problem, many of the oldest and most vulnerable structures are in remote villages inhabited mostly by retired Italians getting by on pensions with no cash to spare. In the cities, upgrades are stifled by the condominium-style rules of buildings requiring the agreement of multiple owners for such investments.
“We’re among the best in the world in managing emergencies,” Renzi said, praising the men and women, many of them volunteers, who jump into action when crises hit. “But it’s not enough to be in the vanguard in emergencies.”
Geologists surveyed the damage Thursday to determine which buildings were still inhabitable, while Culture Ministry teams were fanning out to assess the damage to some of the region’s cultural treasures, especially its medieval-era churches.
Italian news reports said prosecutors investigating the quake were looking in particular into the collapse of Amatrice’s “Romolo Capranica” school, which was restored in 2012 using funds set aside after the last major quake in 2009.
In recent Italian quakes, some modern buildings — many of them public institutions — have been the deadliest. Those included the university dormitory that collapsed in the 2009 L’Aquila quake, killing 11 students, and the elementary school that crumbled in San Giuliano di Puglia in 2002, killing 27 children — the town’s entire first-grade class — while surrounding buildings survived unscathed.
Major quakes in Italy are often followed by criminal charges being filed against architects, builders and officials responsible for public works. In the case of the L’Aquila quake, prosecutors also put six geologists on trial for allegedly failing to adequately warn residents about the temblor. Their convictions were overturned on appeal.
In Pescara del Tronto, rescue crews were looking Thursday for three people believed crushed in a hard-to-reach area.
“The dogs from our dog rescue unit make us think there could be something,” said Danilo Dionisi, a spokesman for the firefighters.
Emergency services set up tent cities around the quake-devastated towns to accommodate the homeless, housing about 1,200 people overnight. In Amatrice, 50 elderly people and children spent the night inside a local sports facility.
“It’s not easy for them,” said civil protection volunteer Tiziano De Carolis, who was helping to care for the homeless in Amatrice. “They have lost everything: the work of an entire life, like those who have a business, a shop, a pharmacy, a grocery store.”

Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard visited three East Hawaii farms and met with agriculture researchers Monday as part of a statewide tour during Congress’ summer recess.
Morning sessions at the Komohana Research Extension Center and the Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center focused on current key crops such as coffee, future prospects such as breadfruit and the ongoing fight against Hawaii’s numerous invasive species, particularly the coffee berry borer and the fungus that causes rapid ohia death.
“Invasive species are extremely costly around the country,” Gabbard told a group of extension agents and researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources after all gave brief overviews of their projects. “Hawaii’s on the front lines of this fight.”
Last year, Gabbard introduced legislation that would create an Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management system. Integrated pest management focuses on long-term solutions and prevention, typically through biological control or habitat management, as opposed to short-term solutions such as pesticide.
“That helps to deal with a whole variety of the invasive species,” Gabbard told the Tribune-Herald. “What we’ve found is coffee berry borer is obviously still an issue, but it feels like every year there’s a new invasive species that’s affecting (Hawaii), whether it’s macadamia nuts or coffee or ohia.”
The AIPM act was introduced to ensure support for “sustainable, natural solutions to a lot of these different pests, that local farmers can access,” Gabbard said.
Representatives from Maine, California and Puerto Rico joined Gabbard in introducing the bill. All are Democrats.
The bill was referred to the House Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture and Research. In February, Gabbard encouraged more members of the House to cosponsor and pass the measure.
“We’ve been trying to find Republican colleagues whose districts are affected by invasives,” Gabbard said.
Florida and California face many of the same problems as Hawaii.
Gabbard said her No. 1 priority after returning from recess is voting for passage of a bill to fund the government for another year. For the past four years, while the bill has been passed, it funded government at the same levels as the previous sessions.
“The problem with passing continued resolutions is it doesn’t allow for funding more programs,” Gabbard said.
That makes it difficult for researchers, she said, because they don’t know how stable their funding is or whether they can begin new work.
“This is directly related to (agriculture), but generally speaking, unfortunately a lot of folks don’t give much thought as to what’s happening out in Hawaii, which is the foremost job I and (other Hawaii representatives) have … to make sure they understand the unique environment, culture, agriculture, economy, et cetera, that we have here.”
Gabbard later visited Akatsuka Orchid Gardens, Matsui Farm and the Ka‘u Coffee Mill. She also hosted a “Tulsi in Your Town” meeting in Pahala, speaking with Ka‘u residents. Similar talk-story sessions were hosted in Wahiawa, Oahu; Lihue, Kauai; and Kailua-Kona.

5 reasons to make family travel more of a priority
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
Whether you take advantage of last-minute travel deals or organize a shared experience, make a family trip a top priority.
Here are five reasons to plan now.
1.Time is of the essence
Sure, things are heating up at the office. Deadlines loom. Projects are underway. And, of course, the family budget might be stressing the seams. But what could be more important than time away with the ones you love? Your plans need not be elaborate. Consider nearby festivals, camping, house trading, hiking or biking trips.
2.Things change
Kids grow up. Cousins move away. Grandparents age. Before you know it, that family reunion that sounds like fun, the lake you long to fish or the resort that captured your attention will have somehow altered and will no longer be possible or appealing. Make plans now to capture the memories unique to this era in your family’s evolution.
3.There is always something to learn
Do your kids yearn to learn to surf or sail? To know more about space? Or science?
Do they love art? Or are they eager to fly-fish? Perhaps they want to know more about their own family history and the places that forged the bonds of your clan.
Whether you opt for magnificent museums or nature’s classroom, give them the gift of knowledge by taking advantage of their current curiosity. Who knows where it will lead?
4.Create a “first” memory
Many adults can readily recall a “first” they experienced while on vacation with their own families: a first glimpse of the Grand Canyon, the towering skyline of New York City, the White House or a majestic fourteener. Often, that moment will be recalled as life changing.
Consider sharing such a moment with your own children. Talk about it. See what renders a sparkle in their eyes. Then, make it happen.
5.Share an experience
Shared experiences make for powerful memories.
Consider changing someone else’s life through a volunteer vacation.
Take on a challenge together such as running or walking in a 10K in a neighboring town.
Horseback into the backcountry.
Plan to raft a river or paddle a canoe through a wilderness area.
Travel the Oregon Trail or explore Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail and spend time talking about what it means.

Madeline getting closer to Big Island

Hurricane Madeline continues its trek toward Hawaii Island.
At 5 p.m. Monday, Madeline was a category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. The storm was about 575 miles east of Hilo moving west-northwest at 10 mph.
A hurricane watch was issued at 11 a.m. Monday by the National Weather Service, which means hurricane conditions are possible in the next 48 hours. The weather service also issued a flash flood watch for the island for Wednesday and Thursday.
Madeline is forecast to pass south of the island Wednesday and Thursday. Landfall remains a possibility.
By Thursday, the cyclone is expected to weaken to a category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.
Farther to the east, Hurricane Lester continues to churn toward the island as a category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph. It was 1,525 miles east of Hilo as of 5 p.m. Monday.
Lester is forecast to pass the island Saturday to the north, though a direct hit remains possible.
It’s also expected to weaken to a category 1 hurricane as it nears the island, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.

You know the drill: Big Islanders batten the hatches in preparation for Hurricane Madeline

The National Weather Service still was expecting the center of Hurricane Madeline to pass just shy of South Point today in a forecast issued Tuesday evening.
But the cyclone could deliver more than a glancing blow.
Tropical storm conditions will arrive as early as this morning, with heavy rain and hazardous wind and surf slamming much of the island through early Thursday. Hurricane conditions could be seen this evening.
The weather service said Madeline will pass “dangerously close” to the island today, likely as a category 1 hurricane, and its counterclockwise motion will ensure windward areas aren’t spared.
Windward areas could see some of the heaviest rains, potentially creating flash floods and mudslides, according to Hawaii County Civil Defense. Damaging surf also could hit east-facing shores by today.
The weather service said Hilo has a 4 percent chance of experiencing hurricane conditions. That jumps to 16 percent at South Point.
“You really should be prepared now,” said Leigh Anne Eaton, weather service meteorologist, Tuesday afternoon. “It will be heading on the doorstep (today).”
Shelters opened Tuesday evening at 14 schools on the island after Gov. David Ige issued an emergency proclamation.
Some areas could see winds as high as 60 to 80 mph — strong enough to cause widespread damage and turn loose outdoor items into projectiles — with higher gusts possible, the weather service said.
Rainfall of 5 to 10 inches is expected with isolated amounts of near 15 inches. Surf will peak tonight at 15 to 25 feet with storm surges of 1 to 4 feet.
Water could reach 1 to 3 feet above ground if peak surges occur during high tide.
The arrival of Hurricane Lester, expected to pass north of the island Saturday, could frustrate efforts to restore power knocked out by Madeline, said Rhea Lee-Moku, Hawaii Electric Light Co. spokeswoman.
“Do we repair things right after Madeline and then only to have them damaged by Lester again?” she said. “That’s something we evaluate.” Safety for employees also is a major concern, Lee-Moku added.
Ed Teixeira, the county’s Interim Civil Defense Administrator, said he was hoping Friday will provide enough of a break between the storms for recovery efforts.
Coastal areas might not get a break from Lester as it also is expected to bring heavy surf to the island. What’s not clear is whether it will pass close enough to also bring more heavy rain and wind.
“Surf could be another factor of Lester,” Eaton said. “It has ramped up as such a strong storm.”
Lester was a category 4 hurricane Tuesday evening with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph, but it is expected to weaken to a minor hurricane by this weekend.
Lee-Moku said HELCO spent $14 million on tree-trimming since Tropical Storm Iselle in 2014, which should reduce damage to its transmission lines.
She said power outages or fallen power lines can be reported to HELCO at 969-6666 or via Facebook and Twitter.
The state Department of Transportation said it was preparing to close the Umauma Bridge on Highway 19 as a precaution.

Hawaii tops in women’s equality? Some question rank because of study’s lack of analysis
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
A recent study ranks Hawaii No. 1 in the country for women’s equality. But some women’s rights advocates have doubts.
WalletHub, a Washington, D.C.-based personal finance website, identified the most gender-equal states in the country in observance of National Women’s Equality Day on Friday.
The company scored states using 15 measures, including gender gaps among lawmakers, worker pay disparity, unemployment rate differences and educational attainment gaps.
Hawaii has the smallest pay gap in the nation among male and female workers, according to WalletHub.
The study doesn’t provide additional analysis. However, an April report from the National Partnership for Women and Families shows women in Hawaii are paid an average of 86 cents for every dollar earned by white males, though that number is lower among Latina and Asian women.Nationally, women earn about 79 cents for every dollar earned by white men.
Hawaii also scored high in “political empowerment” — defined as the gender disparity among elected officials. WalletHub similarly didn’t provide specific numbers. However, information on the state Legislature website shows about 47 percent of 2016 state senators and 35 percent of House representatives were female. And this month’s primary election results revealed the incoming Hawaii County Council will inevitably contain six women and three men. Currently, there are five councilmen and four councilwomen.
Some women’s rights advocates question the WalletHub study for its lack of analysis. Kathy Ferguson, University of Hawaii women studies professor who contributed to a question-answer portion of the WalletHub study, said she’d like to see more information about the jobs sampled and “what life is like for the people who actually do them.”
“If it’s contract labor, with no benefits, that’s the needed context for data like this,” Ferguson said.
Farrah Marie-Gomes, chairwoman for the Hawaii County Committee on the Status of Women, said she wanted to know if Hawaii’s cost of living was factored into the pay gap score. And she said there are other issues just as important as the pay gap — for example, low voter turnout statewide. Women’s Equality Day was originally established to commemorate female suffrage, she added.
On Friday, more than 350 women ranging from college students to stay-at-home moms to working professionals attended the second annual Hawaii Island Women’s Leadership Summit at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.
Marie-Gomes, chairperson for the summit, said it was a chance to “empower women through knowledge, strength and equality.” Attendees took part in workshops throughout the day and heard from a keynote speaker.
“I take these kinds of results with a grain of salt,” Marie-Gomes said. “… I do know we have made some gains in Hawaii; I wouldn’t call them significant gains, but they’ve been steady gains, and it’s something we need to stay focused on.”
Lawmakers mulled a bill earlier this year that would have amended the law in an attempt to close the state’s gender pay gap even more. The bill would have required employees performing “substantially similar” work to be paid equally and prohibited prospective employers from requesting a job applicant’s prior wage or salary history in the job application process. The bill died in committee.
WalletHub ranked Alaska No. 2 in the study, followed by Maine. Utah came in last.

Kapaau man sought in sexual assaults of minors

Police are seeking the public’s help to locate a 22-year-old Kapaau man accused of sexually assaulting two minor girls.
Jesulito Juan was indicted Aug. 8 by a Kona grand jury on two counts of first-degree sexual assault. According to the document, on Feb. 8, 2015, Juan twice “knowingly engaged in sexual penetration with a person who was less than fourteen years old.”
A police spokeswoman said the alleged assault occurred in Honokaa.
A bench warrant was issued for Juan’s arrest, setting his bail at $50,000 and ordering him to have no contact with the girl or her family.
At the time of the indictment, Juan was free on $17,000 bail in another sex assault case.
The complaint in that case alleges Juan “knowingly engaged in sexual penetration” with another minor at least 14 years of age but younger than 16 between April 10, 2015, and March 26, 2016, and he was more than five years older and not married to the minor.
Juan also is accused of second-degree custodial interference for “entic(ing), conceal(ing) or detain(ing)” the girl between May 8, 2015, and March 26, 2016, as well as providing liquor to her on April 10, 2015.
The police spokeswoman said the alleged offenses occurred in Waikoloa.
Through an Ilocano interpreter, Juan pleaded not guilty to those charges Aug. 2 before Kona Circuit Judge Melvin Fujino.
Fujino ordered Juan to appear for trial at 9 a.m. Nov. 29 before Kona Circuit Judge Ronald Ibarra.
First-degree sexual assault is a Class A felony punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment upon conviction. Second-degree custodial interference is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, and providing liquor to a minor is a petty misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail.

Scams & waste loom as charity millions donated after Orlando
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com

The more than 430 fundraisers posted on the GoFundMe website after the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando have exposed weaknesses inherent in these popular do-it-yourself charity campaigns: waste, questionable intentions and little oversight.
The fundraisers — an average of more than four for each of the 49 killed and 53 wounded — include travelers asking for cash, a practitioner of ancient healing, a personal safety instructor who sells quick loaders for assault rifles, and even convicted identity impostors.
“There was a deluge,” said Holly Salmons, president of the Better Business Bureau for Central Florida. “It was almost impossible for us or anyone else to be able to vet.”
The crowdfunding sites operate outside traditional charitable circles and often beyond the reach of government regulation. Appeals can be created in minutes by almost anyone and shared around the world.
The officially sanctioned Equality Florida campaign raised more than $7 million via GoFundMe, but another $1.3 million went to smaller appeals — mostly set up by people with little or no charity experience.
The Associated Press examined 30 campaigns chosen from throughout the lengthy list produced by a GoFundMe search for “Orlando shootings.” Within a month of the June 12 shootings, they had raised more than $265,000.
Half said donations would be used for legitimate-sounding purposes: to cover funeral, medical and other costs. Some campaign organizers were relatives of the dead or wounded. A high school basketball coach raised $15,297 for the family of Akyra Murray, a star player who had just graduated before dying in the attack.
But most campaigns lacked key details, such as exactly what the donations would cover or even who was asking for them. Only nine of the 30 organizers agreed to interviews.
One man wanted money for travel costs to Orlando to shoot independent news video. He hadn’t raised anything two months later. Another organizer raised just $25 for travel money to hold a community healing ceremony inspired by ancient shamanic rituals. She dropped that plan in favor of sending painted rocks with an inspiring word of support.
Jackson Yauck of Victoria, British Columbia, put up a lighthearted appeal to let the highest donor burn a pair of skimpy gold-colored shorts he wore to gay-pride events. He had created the appeal on Jan. 1 on behalf of other charities and when he tried to switch it to benefit the Orlando victims, GoFundMe froze his account for at least a week, he said. He agreed to transfer the donations to Equality Florida, and GoFundMe let the appeal go forward.
Yauck said he knew all but one of his 11 donors personally and didn’t feel a need to tell them of the switch. “It was just for fun. If you look at the bigger picture, we raised $600 off a pair of underwear,” he said.
Several businesses asked for contributions. One appeal raised $1,375 from 14 donors within two months to keep open a hair salon run by partners killed in the attack. A counseling center raised $150 to subsidize services to victims but closed its campaign when it found grant money elsewhere. GoFundMe helps make refunds when contributions go unused.
Efe Atalay, of Clermond, Florida, raised $1,145 from 81 donors to buy security wands for nightclub entrances, but didn’t say which clubs and spoke vaguely of lobbying politicians to require such security measures. He didn’t respond to emails sent to his GoFundMe address.
Florida charities law generally requires no filings by crowdfunding campaigns meant for particular victims or their families or in support of other established charities. That accounts for the vast majority of appeals. Other states apply a patchwork of laws.
Yet, crowdfunding campaigns can distribute aid more quickly than large bureaucratic funds. And they have less overhead than traditional charities, with only 8 percent of donations on GoFundMe going to the website and credit card fees.
Several big funds have joined forces in an official centralized campaign that raised more than $23 million, including the $7 million from Equality Florida’s GoFundMe campaign.
In one crowdfunding campaign, friends Guardini Bellefleur and Demetrice Naulings asked for $25,000 to set up a vaguely defined foundation in memory of Eddie Justice, a friend of Naulings killed in the shootings. They said the money would pay for Justice’s funeral and victim counseling.
Six people donated $253.
Wilhemina Justice said no one consulted her about the appeal in her son’s name or made arrangements to give her proceeds. “To me, it’s fraud,” she said.
Florida bars anyone convicted in the past decade of certain crimes, including identity fraud, from running a charity. Yet, court records show Bellefleur was convicted in 2012 of buying $3,570 worth of furniture by impersonating the son of an account holder, and Naulings was convicted in 2008 of giving police a false name and driving with a suspended license.
“We’ve all done some bad things that we would want to change, but this was my moment to change,” Naulings said.
Naulings acknowledged he never consulted Justice’s mother or helped pay for his funeral, but said, without offering details, his future nonprofit would someday help her.

The GOP’s Trumpian deflation
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump. Would that it were unnecessary to mention his name except, say, as a Viagra pitchman.
Despite such casting perfection, this isn’t intended as a personal metaphor for the man, though it is for the GOP. Cue sound of balloon losing vigor. The erstwhile party of Lincoln has rendered itself impotent by its clammy-handed embrace of the sad clown who made everybody laugh — for a while.
But the enchanted evening Republicans fantasized when they nominated the biggest goofball ever to enter the Oval Office sweepstakes is over. The clock has struck midnight, the carriage is ablaze; the golden-haired prince is a bloated chimneysweep ranting at rooftops. The party’s footmen, blind mice begging for scraps of mercy, scatter in search of cover.
Even Rep. Mark Sanford, the disgraced former governor of South Carolina, took to the quill, writing in a New York Times op-ed that he might no longer support Trump if he doesn’t produce his tax returns. Knowing with 99 percent certainty that this won’t happen, Sanford has carved a tiny escape hole in the baseboard for himself.
At the same time, talk radio hustlers who’ve more or less directed the GOP platform the past two decades or so, beginning with the Clinton administration, seem to be coming undone, floundering in the full-circleness of their anti-Clinton credo. Rush Limbaugh, to be precise, recently dissolved into a fit of giggles as he tried to pronounce the stupidity of Trump’s “softening” on immigration.
“Poor Ann,” he rasped, referring to Ann Coulter’s new book, “In Trump We Trust.” Anti-amnesty Ann, now on what she says might be the shortest book tour ever, has had to dial back her support for the GOP nominee if he doesn’t return to his hard-line deportation promise.
Quelle situation! The very “policy” undergirding Trump’s campaign suddenly became a negotiable talking point. Draconian Trump suddenly became Care Bear Trump: We need to be fair and maybe some should stay, he said. Then, just as suddenly — feeling the heat from his courtiers — he was back to dear old Draco. But of course he’s going to send them all back. Then, when they come back legally, if they do, they’ll have to pay taxes.
Because every ordinary billionaire does?
Trump was never going to build a wall, this columnist wrote. He was never going to deport 11 million people, she said. How exactly does one do this without sending armed forces to arrest Madre in the kitchen and Padre on the phone while their citizen-children watch in horror? Think back to the 2000 image of Elian Gonzalez’s “rescue” by masked, armed men, brought to you by the Clinton administration, let the record show.
For many of us scribes, Trump’s true nature and character were obvious from the start, not to mention 20 years before that. No degree of fleeting niceness (which, ahem, I gamely recognized in a recent column written for sport in response to a challenge) was going to make Trump less repugnant or more appealing for long. Predictably, he couldn’t sustain it. A person can only fake who he is for so long before the interior self emerges. Trump’s nice side, you can be certain, isn’t what appeals to members of the Ku Klux Klan or other white nationalist groups who find his ideas in sync with their own.
Trump’s calling Hillary Clinton a bigot when he is the bigot’s candidate should be viewed as the last gasp of a desperate nominee with no one left to insult. African-Americans, previously ignored, are now in the sights of the flaming eye of Sauron.
This dark fairy tale was bound to end, if later than many expected. Sure, droves will vote for Trump no matter what. His fans aren’t crazy or stupid, one is bound to say, and might justify their votes with concern for the future composition of the Supreme Court or for some variation of Trump’s shifting immigration policy.
But the truth is, most will be voting against Hillary Clinton, whom they dislike with such ferocity that they’d rather vote for Mickey Mouse — or even Donald Trump, master puppeteer and ringmaster of the Freakiest Show on Earth.

Prudent spending
Wow! The headline reads, “The state sits on a record $1 billion surplus.”
Great! Perhaps now we can earmark the surplus for unfunded liabilities such as retirement and medical benefits for present government employees.
But wait!
The state has contract negotiations pending with government employees, and “big pay raises for government workers are a given,” according to the unions.
Really?
Why should a cash balance in the state budget have anything to do with pay raises for government employees?
It would seem prudent instead to fund the unfunded liabilities. (But that’s just a taxpayer’s opinion, for what that is worth.)

Lipstick on a pig
A recent letter writer complained about the Tribune-Herald’s negative cartoons and articles about the presidential candidates and wants something “positive” printed.
This is at least naive on several counts
First, it’s not the media’s job to print “positive” articles about the candidates — that’s what all that PAC money is for. They are supposed to report the facts, and the facts in this election are pretty negative: two of the most unliked candidates in history, a majority saying they will vote AGAINST somebody instead of FOR somebody (and a significant minority wants to end civilization so nobody wins), record-low approval rating for Congress (the Communist Party beat them in one recent poll) and the general rage of the voters with the corrupt status quo.
Positive? I thought the cartoon about Harry Kim outrunning Wally Lau’s money was pretty positive.
Positive on the national election? I tried to think of one major positive thing about either of these political hacks and failed.
There’s an old saying: You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a … politician

How to use surplus
Would you consider that the best use of the $1 billion budget surplus is to 100 percent fund all pension and health care obligations within the state, if possible (I would hope it is enough).
These unfunded debts are a blight on our posterity and weigh on prosperity.

Increasing operations involving U.S. Special Forces in Somalia raise serious risks for Americans at home.

Expect reaction to US military action in Somalia
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
Increasing operations involving U.S. Special Forces in Somalia raise serious risks for Americans at home.
The United States has been dabbling militarily in Somalia since late 1992, when then-President George H.W. Bush, in response to what was evolving into a tragic humanitarian crisis, during Thanksgiving agreed to put U.S. forces into the northeastern African nation to try to stabilize it to permit the delivery of food, medical and other assistance.
Somalia had not had a government in place in its capital, Mogadishu, since January 1991. Bush’s successor, Bill Clinton, withdrew almost all U.S. forces from Somalia in 1994 after the fatal “Black Hawk Down” incident, with the departure of the rest occurring in 1995.
Somalia still does not have an accepted, elected government in place. Elections are supposed to take place this year, but continuing circumstances of insecurity suggest that, if they take place, they will be very indirect elections, with Somali clan elders selecting delegates who will then choose a president and members of parliament. Whatever government emerges from these maneuvers will resemble the current one, chosen out of the country by clan-based delegates with uncertain popular mandates.
In the meantime, the United States, in the form of the U.S. military Africa Command, has continued to expand a base in Djibouti, the former French Somaliland, bordering on actual Somalia. The installation in Djibouti includes thousands of U.S. troops, fighter bombers and a drone station.
Press reports indicate American forces, as recently as Aug. 17, participated with Somali forces in an attack on the forces of the externally imposed Somali government’s opponent, Al-Shabab, at Saakow in southern Somalia, killing some.
There are at least two problems with this action and comparable operations carried out against Al-Shabab. There is, first of all, the question of the wisdom of continued U.S. efforts to determine governance in Somalia, after 24 years of expensive, unfruitful involvement.
Second, it is important to understand Somalis in general, many of whom have now settled in the United States, particularly in Minnesota but also even in Washington, D.C. Somalis as a people have a strong sense of family and clan loyalty, which includes obligatory revenge for killings. If a member of a Somali family or clan kills a member of another, either a reciprocal killing or carefully negotiated financial compensation is automatically required.
Given that many Somalis now live in the United States, and some have traveled back to Somalia to participate in combat on the side of Al-Shabab, Americans at home — on the basis of U.S. Special Forces’ actions in Somalia — risk the required retribution taking place on American soil.
That reality calls either for changing policy and letting the Somalis work out their own destiny and governance, free of U.S. military action, or bracing Americans for likely, even imminent, revenge exacted on U.S. soil.
The situation is dangerous, and it is not clear that Washington understands what is at stake.

Hillary Clinton attacked her rival Donald Trump last week for his cozy relationship with a new political movement, the Alternative Right, or Alt-Right. The Alt-Right rejects American democracy as did the American communists of the 1930s and the New Left of the 1960s. The main challenge to our way of life today now comes not from the radical left, but the Alt-Right.

‘Alt-Right’ is real and it’s dangerous

Hillary Clinton attacked her rival Donald Trump last week for his cozy relationship with a new political movement, the Alternative Right, or Alt-Right. The Alt-Right rejects American democracy as did the American communists of the 1930s and the New Left of the 1960s. The main challenge to our way of life today now comes not from the radical left, but the Alt-Right.
Starting in the 1960s, anti-Semites, overt racists, and John Birch Society adherents were cast out of the political mainstream. These outcasts lay low for a while, but they didn’t just disappear. Now their ideological descendants are trying to take over the Republican Party (as well as the country).
The Alt-Right supports the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and protectionist trade policies. It opposes feminism, diversity, gay rights, globalism, gun control and civil rights.
But it is the underlying ideology of the Alt-Right, rather than its controversial policy positions, that is truly sinister. Alt-Right thought is based on white nationalism and anti-Americanism. The Alt-Right holds, in essence, that all men are not created equal, and that as racial equality has displaced white dominance, America has declined and no longer merits the allegiance of its white citizens.
Alt-Right leaders, unlike Neo-Nazis or KKK supporters, are intellectually and rhetorically sophisticated. Jared Taylor, editor of the American Renaissance website, holds degrees from Yale and the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris. On his site, Taylor published “An Open Letter to Cuckservatives” — the Alt-Right’s insulting term for moderate conservatives — laying out his beliefs.
In the letter, Taylor denies the notion that “the things you love about America … are rooted in certain principles.” Rather, “they are rooted in certain people.” That is, white people: “Germans, Swedes, Irishmen, and Hungarians could come and contribute to the America you love,” Taylor says. “Do you really believe that a future Afro-Hispanic-Caribbean-Asiatic America will be anything like the America your ancestors built?” White nationalism is more important than inalienable rights because “Even when they violate your principles, white people build good societies. Even when they abide by your principles, non-whites usually don’t.”
Richard B. Spencer of the National Policy Institute, who went to the Universities of Chicago and Virginia, is openly anti-American. In an interview last July with the New York Times he said: “America as it is currently constituted — and I don’t just mean the government; I mean America as constituted spiritually and ideologically — is the fundamental problem … I don’t support and agree with much of anything America is doing in the world.” He despises “cuckservatives” because “we’ve recognized the bankruptcy of this ideology, based on ‘free markets,’ ‘values,’ and ‘American exceptionalism.’”
In short, this new strain of reactionary thought goes beyond the garden-variety racial prejudice of yore — which certainly was bad enough — to a root-and-branch rejection of American 21st century values. The Alt-Right represents the first new philosophical competitor to liberalism, broadly defined, since the fall of Communism.
Is anyone listening to the Alt-Right? Yes: Key Alt-Right websites the American Renaissance and VDARE — named after Virginia Dare, “the first white child of English parentage born in America” — both received more web visits last November than Dissent and Ms. The National Policy Institute and its Radix Journal together had many more visits than the neoconservative policy journal National Affairs.
So the Alt-Right has an audience — and in Trump, it has a candidate. Trump’s rants about Mexican rapists charging across the southern border, his attacks on an American-born judge of Mexican descent, and his calls to ban Muslims from entering the country, are all in line with Alt-Right ideology. Accordingly, Alt-Right organizations made robocalls for Trump in the Iowa, New Hampshire and Utah primaries.
VDARE declared in July: “We are all Donald Trump Now.” And the website’s editor, Peter Brimelow, wrote last week: “Trump is the best presidential candidate on immigration that we’ve ever had. That’s not saying a lot, goodness knows — but it’s a YUGE advance.”
But VDARE isn’t the Alt-Right flavored publication most closely associated with Trump. That distinction goes to Breitbart News, whose former chair, Stephen K. Bannon, is now the Trump campaign CEO. Bannon has described Breitbart as a “platform for the Alt-Right.” The site even published a helpful “Guide to the Alt-Right” which explained that “young rebels” are drawn to the cause “for the same reason that young Baby Boomers were drawn to the New Left in the 1960s: because it promises fun, transgression, and a challenge to social norms they just don’t understand.” Those norms apparently include tolerance and the concept of racial equality.
The Alt-Right is the first explicitly anti-American political movement to attach itself to a major-party presidential candidate since 1948, when Communists supported the Progressive, former Vice President Henry Wallace. All schools of American political thought — and especially mainstream conservatives — must reject this dangerous ideology.
Thomas J. Main is a professor at the School of Public and International Affairs, Baruch College, CUNY. He is writing a book on the Alt-Right and American politics. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

BIIF football Game of the Week: Fresh off early test, Konawaena rolls into Hilo
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
It didn’t take long for Konawaena to feel the pressure of having a Big Island sized target on its back.
Playing in their first game of the season last weekend against a physically imposing Saint Francis squad, the Wildcats overcame a fourth quarter deficit and clawed back to escape with a 23-22 road victory.
“We knew they were a very legitimate opponent, just from what they returned from last year and how they had progressed,” Konawaena head coach Brad Uemoto said. “Going in, I felt they were a top three team in Division II state-wide.”
The Saints will likely be in the running for the ILH DII title this season, so the tight score was no surprise. Instead, four interceptions by standout junior quarterback Austin Ewing were the unexpected. For comparison’s sake, he had just six total last season.
“Everybody forgets as good as Austin is, he’s still young,” Uemoto said of his QB. “At one point I pulled him aside and talked to him. I told him our defense was playing well and we just needed one good drive in the fourth quarter to win the game.”
Ewing, not rattled by his mistakes, continued to hang in there. Eventually, it led to senior running back Micah Laban finding the corner and scoring the go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Ewing’s stat line: 30 of 54 for 330 yards with two scores and the four picks — a day most high school quarterbacks would call a resounding success.
“I was very proud of all the boys for hanging in there,” Uemoto said.
The game might have been dubbed preseason or non-league, but it was actually much more than that. If the Wildcats do end up winning the BIIF, the result would surely play a role in the seeding process for the HHSAA state tournament — impacting things like home field and opponent.
“Like I told these kids, you can call it what you want, but if you plan on competing for a state title, those are the games you have to win,” Uemoto said. “When they start seeding teams, they are going to look at that game as a measuring stick. We went there to win it.”
Konawaena will face its first league test when they head to Hilo today. Last week, the Vikings were walloped 49-7 by ILH powerhouse Saint Louis.
Uemoto admitted it’s hard to take away anything from watching that tape, but he still has praise for the reigning BIIF Division I champs.
One drive that stands out came in the second quarter, when Hilo went on a 14-play scoring drive against mostly Crusader starters that took eight minutes off the clock. That’s quite the feat against a Saint Louis squad littered with potential college talent.
Traditionally, the Viks have boasted a bigger team than Konawaena — in sheer numbers and physical stature.
This year it’s a little more even, but Konawaena proved last week that size is something they can deal with.
“Hilo might be a bigger team than we are, but I think Saint Francis helped us prepare for that,” Uemoto said. “We understand the challenges Hilo gives us. The way we are going to succeed is adapting to what they do.”

Why the campaigns are coming to get you now

WASHINGTON — Who’s that at the doorbell this sleepy August? It could be supporters of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, eager to pounce well before what used to be the traditional Labor Day start of a general election campaign.
Thirty-seven states, including the swing states of Florida, North Carolina and Ohio, now have some sort of pre-Election Day voting, and that means no hot-weather letup in the push for votes.
What it most means is “hand-to-hand combat,” said Scott Jennings, a political veteran who ran Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s 2012 Ohio campaign.
The campaigns know how to find you. Republicans “score” voters and know who’s most likely to support or oppose them. Clinton’s campaign has been working since April to get people out to vote. Volunteers are standing by, ready to address any concern.
“It certainly changes the way people campaign,” said Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams, whose office oversees that state’s elections. Colorado mails ballots to every eligible voter, and opens early polling places in October.
While anecdotal evidence shows that in many states, Democrats stand most to benefit from early voting, Bob Hall, executive director of Democracy North Carolina, a nonpartisan voting rights advocacy group, said the pre-election-day voters tend to be those most enthusiastic about a candidate. In North Carolina, that meant more African-Americans were likely to vote early in 2008 and 2012, when President Barack Obama ran.
But in recent off-year elections, it was the white Republican voter who were more drawn to cast ballots early.
This year, it’s tough to tell who will get the early voters. Both Clinton and Trump have solid cores of support, polls find, but their negatives remain at historically high levels.
The first debate, scheduled for Sept. 26, is crucial to the early voting push. “By the time of the third debate, the percentage who was persuadable was way down,” Jennings said.
For the campaigns, that means planting in viewers’ minds impressions of both their candidate and opponent so they’ll be strongly reinforced in that debate.
Backing it up: volunteers going door-to-door, now or very soon, reminding voters of those points.
The Republican Party identifies voters nationwide with scores ranging from zero to 100. Among the items rated are whether the voter is likely to support a Republican and what issues matter most.
Republican volunteers from each neighborhood are dispatched to get in touch with the potential early voters. Starting in June, they visited their homes or made phone calls. If controversies about Trump arose, the GOP volunteers were ready to discuss.
They pay particular attention to trends in the scores over time — the scores are updated every two weeks. Volunteers will return, usually in the evening, when party officials have determined is the best time to reach voters. So far this election cycle, they’ve already knocked on at least 244,594 doors in North Carolina and 403,726 in Florida.
Among Democrats, Clinton’s campaign has been working in swing states since the late April primaries, devising a plan to take advantage of all the methods a voter could use to vote.
They’re using their research to identify early voters, then contacting them to urge signing up for absentee ballots or be aware of early voting procedures.
In states such as North Carolina, Florida, Nevada and Colorado, the Clinton voter protection team is working with county officials and local governments to be sure there are early voting locations. Next, they contact voters to tell them where those locations are.

A man and a woman are being charged with theft and other offenses stemming from a purse-snatching incident Friday afternoon at a Waimea restaurant.
At 2:30 p.m. Friday, a 64-year-old Paauilo woman reported she was at a restaurant in a shopping center on the 67-1100 block of Mamalahoa Highway when a man grabbed her purse off the table and fled to an SUV in the parking lot being driven by a woman.
The victim followed and grabbed the driver side mirror of the SUV.
The SUV left the parking lot, causing the victim to fall to the ground. She was treated at North Hawaii Community Hospital for minor injuries and released.
Witnesses to the incident were able to provide police with the license plate number of the SUV.
Shortly before 4 p.m., officers spotted the vehicle as it pulled into the parking lot of a store off Highway 190 in Kailua-Kona.
Police arrested the driver, 38-year-old Linda Chong Tim-Castro, and a passenger, 35-year-old Gary Paulaau, both of Kailua-Kona.
A second passenger, 20-year-old Scott Vasconcellos-Rego of Waimea, was arrested on a bench warrant for violating terms of release on bail.
At 1 p.m. Sunday, Chong Tim-Castro was charged with reckless endangering, accessory to theft, theft/forgery of a credit card and unauthorized possession of personal confidential information.
Her bail was set at $10,500.
Paulaau was charged with theft, theft/forgery of a credit card, unauthorized possession of personal confidential information, promoting a dangerous drug, possessing drug paraphernalia and contempt of court.
His bail was set at $50,200.
Vasconcellos-Rego was charged with violating terms of release on bail.
All three remained at the Kona police cellblock until their initial court appearances, which were scheduled for Monday.

An Ocean View man is being charged with seven offenses after authorities found him in a stolen county vehicle.
On Thursday, officers responded to a 6:38 a.m. report of a burglary at an office of the Department of Public Works on the 81-6300 block of Highway 11 in South Kona.
Responding officers learned that the building was forced open and keys to a 2003 Ford F350 truck were taken and used to remove the truck from the base yard.
On Friday, officers found the truck in Ocean View and arrested the driver, 25-year-old Noa Mamala of Ocean View.
During his arrest, he was found to be in possession of methamphetamine.
Mamala was charged Sunday with illegal use of a government vehicle, driving a stolen vehicle, promoting a dangerous drug, possessing drug paraphernalia, failure to appear and two counts of contempt of court. His bail was set at $32,300.
His initial court appearance was Monday.

Big Island braces for Madeline; Civil Defense urges residents to make storm preparations now
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com

Hurricane Madeline is expected to make her presence felt to Big Islanders, perhaps as soon as today, according to the National Weather Service.
“Potential impacts with high surf and heavy rain could start as early as (today) with high surf and rainfall beginning on Wednesday,” Eric Lau, a forecaster in the weather service’s Honolulu bureau, said Monday afternoon. “The cone of uncertainty lies within the Big Island; that’s why there’s a hurricane watch up in effect.”
At 5 p.m. Monday, Madeline was a category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. The storm was about 575 miles east of Hilo moving west-northwest at 10 mph.
A hurricane watch was issued at 11 a.m. Monday by the NWS, which means hurricane conditions are possible in the next 48 hours. The weather service also issued a flash flood watch for the island for Wednesday and Thursday.
By Thursday, the cyclone is expected to weaken to a category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Madeline is forecast to pass south of the island Wednesday and Thursday, but landfall remains a possibility.
“Storms like this don’t really like mountainous terrain and once terrain starts interacting with the storm, the tendency is for the storm to weaken,” Lau said.
Ed Teixeira, the county’s Interim Civil Defense Administrator, said his agency was in meetings Monday with state Civil Defense getting ready for a worst-case scenario.
“This is no joke. It is a hurricane watch,” Teixeira said late Monday afternoon. “You know, we were hoping for a much better situation. We’ve still got a day, maybe a day and a half to start preparing ourselves across the island. And that’s where our focus is — preparing, preparing, preparing.
“We’re going to be making some house-to-house notifications beginning (this) morning with our volunteers, especially in the lower Puna area. And the high-surf estimates are going to be pretty high, about 20 feet for east-facing shores. We’ve been in touch with the Waipio Valley community already because they’re very flood prone.”
Teixeira said he’ll meet with community partners and go over matters such as the possible opening of evacuation shelters, if and when schools will be closed, and other closures that might become necessary as the storm approaches.
Teixeira reminded citizens to “be looking at their storm readiness, their families, their properties.”
“If you’re in a flood-prone area, do what you need to do to make your home flood-proof. If you need sandbags, the county is prepared to assist you with that,” he said. “If we’re unlucky and it hits us as a category 1 (hurricane) or a strong tropical storm, we may be unlucky and see the affect of flying debris. So, we need to be thinking about trees and thinking about your furniture on patios and what kinds of steps that we can do for ourselves.”
A second storm, Hurricane Lester, also still poses a potential threat to the Islands. At 5 p.m. Monday, Lester was 1,525 miles east of Hilo with category 4 maximum sustained winds of 140 mph. The storm was moving west at 15 mph.
“Sometime around the Labor Day weekend, we could start seeing the impacts of Lester. It is taking a more northerly track as compared to Madeline, but being that far out, it’s still too early to make an educated guess at that,” Lau said.
Lester is forecast to pass the Big Island on Saturday to the north, though a direct hit remains possible. It’s also expected to weaken to a category 1 hurricane as it nears the island, with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph.
“The main focus right now is making sure the residents of Hawaii County are prepared and have their supplies on hand, medication for their families, pets and everything else,” Lau said. “We just want everyone to stay vigilant, be aware of their surroundings, and be prepared to evacuate if necessary.”

Amano denies protective order for Ige, BLNR officials
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
A proposed order seeking to prevent Gov. David Ige from testifying in the Thirty Meter Telescope contested case was denied Monday.
But the motion could resurface during a review of potential witnesses in the quasi-judicial hearing covering the observatory’s conservation district use permit application for Mauna Kea.
Riki May Amano, a retired judge overseeing the contested case hearing, said challenges to witnesses are better heard later in the process.
“I’m aware the Supreme Court (remanded the permit) because of failure to follow the process,” Amano said during the hearing at Hawaii Community College. “For that reason, I’m reluctant to support anything out of process. It’s just not worth it.”
The court remanded the permit after ruling in December that the state Board of Land and Natural Resources violated the state Constitution by voting in favor of it before having the first contested case hearing in 2011. BLNR will use Amano’s recommendation to decide whether the $1.4 billion project, which faced large protests from Native Hawaiians last year, can move forward.
State attorneys sought the protective order, which also would have covered BLNR Chairwoman Suzanne Case and BLNR member Stanley Roehrig, after an attorney representing six parties in the contested case placed them on their proposed witness list.
The state attorneys argued executive privilege should prevent Ige and Case from testifying.
Roehrig, they said, should be dismissed since the board will have to decide the project’s fate.
Deputy Attorney General Harvey Henderson called it an “end run” to disqualify them from overseeing the approval process.
But questions also were raised about connections between Roehrig and a nonprofit operated by Keahi Warfield, who leads the pro-TMT Native Hawaiian group, Perpetuating Unique Educational Opportunities Inc. PUEO, formed earlier this year, is a party to the contested case.
“It’s more than just a casual relationship,” said attorney Richard Wurdeman, suggesting a conflict of interest.
Wurdeman, who represents the six petitioners who participated in the original contested case, noted Keaukaha Youth One Development, which Warfield operates, rents property from Roehrig.
Warfield told the Tribune-Herald that Roehrig was one of Keaukaha Youth One Development’s founders and the group leases property rent free from a trust belonging to Roehrig’s family.
He said Roehrig stepped down from the organization before joining the Land Board and he was not involved in forming PUEO.
Still, Warfield noted he considers Roehrig a “mentor” who showed him how to operate nonprofits.
“I’m not going to deny it either,” Warfield said.
Dwight Vicente, one of the approximately two dozen parties to the contested case, also weighed in on having Ige testify, but for different reasons than some other participants.
Vicente said he wants Ige to address his nationality. Because of the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, he claimed Ige, who was born and raised in Hawaii, is a Japanese national.
“You can’t call someone governor who is not qualified,” Vicente said. “He’s a foreign national.”
Amano responded: “Mr. Vicente, you’re off point.”
Several parties also discussed with Amano issues they think should be covered in the contested case.
She directed PUEO to file a motion and other parties to respond with challenges.
Some of the issues mentioned include eight criteria for building in a conservation district, Native Hawaiian cultural and religious practices, TMT’s sublease for the mountain and the project’s management plans.
Lanny Sinkin, representing the Temple of Lono, another participant, also proposed the hearing address claims that the Hawaiian Kingdom still exists and an allegation he made that TMT has hidden military capabilities.
He said he could present evidence for both.
Amano will host a site visit Sept. 26 on Mauna Kea.
She intends to have evidentiary hearings in October.

A war crime convict: Destroyers of cultural heritage are on notice

An Islamic extremist this week pleaded guilty before the International Criminal Court in The Hague to destroying 10 tombs from the 14th century in Timbuktu, Mali. This case sets two important precedents.
The first was that it will be the first conviction of an Islamist, in this case Ahmad Al Faqi Al Mahdi, 41, a Malian, for a war crime of this sort. The second is that it will be the first successful prosecution by the ICC of someone who has destroyed pieces of cultural heritage.
Al Mahdi is subject to a sentence of from nine to 11 years for this 2012 crime. He may be tried for other war crimes as well; he was a leader of Ansar-al-Dine, an organization affiliated with al-Qaida as it occupied Timbuktu and other northern Malian cities, inflicting harsh, sometimes deadly, rule on its inhabitants until forced out by French military action.
Some of the destroyed monuments in Timbuktu, an ancient trade and education crossroads in the desert, have been rebuilt by UNESCO, although security there remains uncertain and sporadic.
Perhaps the most important aspect of ICC prosecution of Al Mahdi and his guilty plea is the precedent it sets for people in a position to damage or destroy other cultural monuments in the world’s many ongoing wars. In March 2001, the Taliban of Afghanistan destroyed ancient statues of Buddha in Bamiyan.
Islamic State forces have destroyed parts of Palmyra, Syria. Croatian forces shelled into pieces an Ottoman-era marble bridge over the Neretva River in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, during the 1990s wars that surrounded the disintegration of Yugoslavia.
The Al Mahdi trial should serve as some protection for cultural monuments in other areas of warfare, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, with the potential for eventual accountability looming, but there is no guarantee for them whatsoever. The United States has not adhered to the ICC, partly from fear of being held to such account.

Filipinos seen backing Duterte despite rising drug killings
| null | null |

MANILA, Philippines — On the day he was sworn into office, President Rodrigo Duterte went to a Manila slum and exhorted residents who knew any drug addicts to “go ahead and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful.”
Two months later, nearly 2,000 suspected drug pushers and users lay dead as morgues continue to fill up. Faced with criticism of his actions by rights activists, international bodies and outspoken Filipinos, including the top judge, Duterte has stuck to his guns and threatened to declare martial law if the Supreme Court meddles in his work.
According to a survey early last month, he has the support of nearly 91 percent of Filipinos. The independent poll was done during his first week in office, and no new surveys have come out since then.
National police chief Ronald dela Rosa told a Senate hearing this week that police have recorded more than 1,900 dead, including 756 suspected drug dealers and users who were gunned down after they resisted arrest. More than 1,000 other deaths are under investigation, and some of them may not be drug-related, he said.
Jayeel Cornelio, a doctor of sociology and director of Ateneo de Manila University’s Development Studies Program, said he suspects only a few of Duterte’s supporters are disillusioned by the killings and his rhetoric because voters trust his campaign promise to crush drug criminals. They also find resonance in his cursing and no-holds-barred comments.
Duterte’s death threats against criminals, his promise to battle corruption, his anti-establishment rhetoric and gutter humor have enamored Filipinos living on the margins of society. He overwhelmingly won the election, mirroring public exasperation over the social ills he condemns.
Economic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia has said the killings “may be a necessary evil in the pursuit of a greater good,” a sentiment echoed by a deluge of comments by Duterte supporters in social media deriding his critics and defending the brutal war on drugs.
“The killings are OK so there will be less criminals, drug pushers and drug addicts in our society,” said Rex Alisoso, a 25-year-old cleaner in Manila. He said people have gotten used to the way Duterte talks and voted for him knowing his ways.
Kim Labasan, a Manila shopkeeper, said she does not like Duterte’s constant swearing, his “stepping on too many toes,” and his decision to allow late dictator Ferdinand Marcos to be buried in the Heroes’ Cemetery. But she supports the anti-drug war despite the rising death toll because, she said, she has personally seen the effects of drugs. Addicts in her hometown north of Manila have ended up with “poisoned brains” and even robbed her family’s home.
“A battle of moralities is being waged right now by this administration — before, if you were a human rights advocate you are a hero of the country, now you are seen as someone who can destroy the country,” Cornelio said.
He said that Duterte fosters “penal populism” — identifying a particular enemy, a criminal, and then hunting him down to death. Because the results are visible, tangible and people feel it, “it becomes more important than many other things to the ordinary person.”
Duterte has said drugs were destroying the country. In his State of the Nation Address last month, he said “human rights cannot be used as a shield or an excuse to destroy the country.”
He also lashed out at U.S. Ambassador Philip Goldberg, calling him gay in derogatory terms, after he criticized Duterte’s rape comments during the presidential campaign. He threatened to pull the Philippines out of the United Nations because of U.N. comments condemning extrajudicial killings, saying he did not “give a s---” about the consequences. The following day, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay said the Philippines was not leaving the U.N. and Duterte made the comment only because he was tired, angry and frustrated.
Phelim Kine, Human Rights Watch’s deputy Asia director, said Duterte “is steamrolling the rule of law and its advocates both at home and abroad.” The killings suggest his aggressive rhetoric advocating extrajudicial solutions to criminality has found a receptive audience, Kine said.
“His supporters are cheering him on, but wait till one of them is killed,” said Ferdie Monasterio, a driver of a ride-sharing company who doesn’t support Duterte. “He is no different from Marcos and it looks like he wants to establish a dictatorship.”
Cornelio said the death toll is not the clincher in turning public sentiment against Duterte, because a lot of people look at them as justified killings. He said that Dutere’s first year will be crucial since he promised quick action.
“I think the threshold has to do with the delivery of the promises,” he said.

HVO monitoring another lava breakout
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
A new lava breakout emerged from Kilauea’s Pu‘u ‘O‘o cone, potentially robbing the Kamokuna ocean entry of its supply.
The large breakout started Monday morning at the start of the 61G flow on the cone’s east flank, according to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory.
HVO spokeswoman Janet Babb said the breakout still was active Tuesday but was not flowing as vigorously.
If it continues, it is expected to follow a similar path toward the ocean as the 61G flow.
Babb said the breakout could have been caused by an influx in magma in the volcano or a blockage in the tube system.
If it continues, it’s possible it will divert the supply from the 61G flow and extinguish the ocean entry in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park that started in late July. That likely would be a temporary break as another ocean entry could develop from the new flow.
“Ocean entries are very sporadic,” said Babb, adding that a similar pattern was seen in the “Peace Day” flow that started in September 2011.
That resulted in several ocean entries, the last occurring in August 2013.
As of Tuesday, no changes were observed at the ocean entry.

Sugar plantations dominated agricultural land use on Hawaii Island for more than 160 years, before that era ended in the 1990s. Many of the old maps, land records and other documents of those times are unknown to current owners of former sugarcane lands, but might contain information of use or interest to such landowners.

Sugar plantations dominated agricultural land use on Hawaii Island for more than 160 years, before that era ended in the 1990s. Many of the old maps, land records and other documents of those times are unknown to current owners of former sugarcane lands, but might contain information of use or interest to such landowners.
The Edmund Olson Trust Archive is a remarkable repository of documents from Hawaii’s sugar plantations, tracing an important part of Hawaii history from the 1850s through the 1990s.
Weather permitting, the Lyman Museum is hosting an encore presentation from 3-4:30 p.m. Friday by John Cross of the Olson Trust Archive, who will give a tantalizing peek at these relics of bygone days that are still in use today and describe how to tap these irreplaceable historic resources for current purposes.
Call the museum at 935-5021 to confirm if the museum is open.
The presentation is part of the museum’s Saigo Public Program lecture series. Admission to this program is free to museum members, $3 for nonmembers. Space is limited; first come, first seated.
The nationally accredited and Smithsonian-affiliated Lyman Museum, at 276 Haili St. in Hilo, showcases the natural and cultural history of Hawaii. The museum’s regular hours are 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

This summer, city sidewalks are clotted with people gazing in store windows, dodging bikers and skateboarders, and … bumping into each other. Or colliding with lampposts. Or tripping over curbs. Or wandering into crosswalks against the light. Or, in one case we witnessed, stumbling over a startled beagle’s rump, midtail-wag.

Look out! Why texting and walking don’t mix

This summer, city sidewalks are clotted with people gazing in store windows, dodging bikers and skateboarders, and … bumping into each other. Or colliding with lampposts. Or tripping over curbs. Or wandering into crosswalks against the light. Or, in one case we witnessed, stumbling over a startled beagle’s rump, midtail-wag.
Why? Because the walking wanderers’ eyes are riveted to the smartphone, paying absolutely no attention to obstacles looming right in front of them.
We would like to warn of the hazards of texting while walking with a clear conscience, secure in the knowledge we have never done such a thing and never would. But we can’t.
Confession time: Like many Americans, we have found our eyes glued to the screen when … oops! … we almost collided with someone else.
So, yes, we understand the mesmerizing power of the glowing cell screen. This summer, Pokemon Go beckons. That adds to the usual distractions: texts and emails from friends and family that must be answered right now. Facebook posts that just have to be viewed. Positively urgent tweet threads. Breaking news alerts. And so on.
Texting and walking simultaneously might seem as simple as breathing and walking. But it’s not. As one doctor said, “When you’re texting, you’re not as in control of the complex actions of walking.”
Witness the rising number of reported accidents involving distracted pedestrians who increasingly wind up in the doctor’s office or emergency room.
Long hours of texting also can take a toll on you. Physical therapists report a rising number of teens complaining of “text neck” — back and neck pain caused by the strain of hours of hunching over a phone.
Last year, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons launched a campaign to warn of the dangers of what it dubbed digital deadwalking. The academy released survey results indicating 78 percent of adults in the United States think distracted walking is a “serious” issue. Trouble is, only 29 percent admitted they did it themselves.
Can cell-addicted Americans kick the habit? Sure. It doesn’t take 12 steps, just two: Stow the phone. Resume your life.

Suddenly unsure on immigration, Trump trying to clear it up
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — It’s been the driving issue of Donald Trump’s campaign. Build a wall along the southern border. Make Mexico pay for it. And expel everyone living in the U.S. illegally with the help of a “deportation force.”
Ten weeks before the election, however, buffeted by conflicting advice from aides and advisers, Trump has seemed to be in full indecision mode.
At a Fox News town hall tall taping last week, in the face of pressing questions, he proceeded to poll the audience at length on the fate of an estimated 11 million people.
Trump is now planning a major speech on Wednesday, during which he’s expected to finally clarify his stance. Supporters are hoping for a strong, decisive showing. But for critics, many already disposed to vote against him, his wavering on what has been his signature issue, seems like a warning that he’s unable to handle a central element of any president’s job — making decisions.
It also underscores how little his Republican campaign has invested in the nitty gritty of outlining what he would do as president, especially when compared with the more detailed plans of his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
Clinton proposes plan to address mental health treatment
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Hillary Clinton rolled out a comprehensive plan to address millions of Americans coping with mental illness, pointing to the need to fully integrate mental health services into the nation’s health care system.
Clinton’s campaign released a multi-pronged approach to mental health care on Monday, aimed at ensuring that Americans would no longer separate mental health from physical health in terms of access, care and quality of treatment.
“We’ve got to break through and break down the stigma and shame. We’ve got to make clear that mental health is not a personal failing. Right now it’s our country which is failing people with mental health issues,” she said.
The Democratic presidential nominee’s agenda would focus on early diagnosis and intervention and create a national initiative for suicide prevention. If elected, Clinton would hold a White House conference on mental health within her first year in office.
Clinton’s proposal would also aim to enforce mental health parity laws and provide training to law enforcement officers to deal with people grappling with mental health problems while prioritizing treatment over jail for low-level offenders.
In other news from the Clinton camp, Huma Abedin, an aide to the candidate and vice chairperson for the campaign, is done playing the good wife to Anthony Weiner. Abedin announced Monday she is leaving the serially sexting ex-congressman after he was accused of sending raunchy photos and messages to yet another woman.
“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,” she said in a statement issued by the campaign. “Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life.”
In Brazil Senate, Rousseff proclaims innocence, blasts VP
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff proclaimed her innocence on Monday, branding her vice president a “usurper” and warning senators that history would judge them harshly if they ousted a democratically elected leader on false charges.
Rousseff’s much anticipated speech to the lawmakers who will decide this week whether to permanently remove her from office was characterized by the same defiance she has shown throughout an impeachment process that has divided Latin America’s most populous nation.
“I know I will be judged, but my conscience is clear. I did not commit a crime,” Rousseff told the senators who listened intently, in contrast to the chamber’s usual raucousness.
In the middle of her second term, the left-leaning leader has been accused of breaking fiscal rules to hide problems in the federal budget. She has denied any wrongdoing, accusing her opponents of a “coup d’état.”
Rousseff reminded those in attendance that she was re-elected in 2014 by more than 54 million votes, asserting that at every moment since she has followed the constitution and sought to do what was best for the country.
Quake survivors erupt in anger at funeral plan; gov’t relents
ROME (AP) — Italian quake survivors rebelled in anger Monday because of the government’s plan to have a state funeral for their loved ones in an airport hangar in a distant town, where scores of bodies are being kept in refrigerated trucks, and let them watch it on screens from near their emergency tent camp.
One relative of 7-year-old twins who perished in central Italy’s Aug. 24 quake was so upset by the announcement he could barely speak, holding up seven fingers when explaining how old the children were. The mayor of Amatrice, the hardest-hit of the three medieval towns flattened by the quake, was also upset.
“Give us back our dead!” yelled one man in the crowd of several dozen survivors.
Sensing a public relations disaster, Italian Premier Matteo Renzi’s government quickly reversed course, and he said the latest state funeral will take place Tuesday in the devastated Apennines hill town.
So far, 231 of the quake’s 292 victims have been found in Amatrice, with the death toll rising by two Monday afternoon when two bodies were extracted from rubble.
FAA forecast: 600,000 commercial drones within the year
WASHINGTON (AP) — There will be 600,000 commercial drone aircraft operating in the U.S. within the year as the result of new safety rules that opened the skies to them on Monday, according to a Federal Aviation Administration estimate.
The rules governing the operation of small commercial drones were designed to protect safety without stifling innovation, FAA Administrator Michael Huerta told a news conference.
Commercial operators initially complained that the new rules would be too rigid. The agency responded by creating a system to grant exemptions to some of the rules for companies that show they can operate safely, Huerta said.
On the first day the rules were in effect the FAA had already granted 76 exemptions, most of them to companies that want to fly drones at night, Huerta said.
“With these rules, we have created an environment in which emerging technology can be rapidly introduced while protecting the safety of the world’s busiest, most complex airspace,” he said.

One-man street sweeper: Hilo resident takes pride in picking up opala along Mohouli
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
If you frequent Mohouli Street between Komohana Street and Kaumana Drive, you’ve surely seen Charlie Walters.
More than 6 feet tall, the Hilo resident usually is armed with a trash grabber, take-out bags and a trusty pair of headphones. Rain or shine, about 4:30 p.m. most afternoons, the 55-year-old Walters can be seen hard at work — carefully combing the 2 1/2-mile stretch of road picking up trash.
Walters doesn’t have any particular motive. His doctor encourages him to get exercise, but mostly he said he enjoys keeping the area clean and the sense of accomplishment from completing the task.
“It sounds weird, but I get a lot of satisfaction when I drive away and see that it’s clean again,” Walters said Thursday evening as he combed the Mohouli shoulder with cars whizzing by. “It’s getting it clean and being able to take pride. (Knowing) at least this little section of road is clean. I get satisfaction in that.”
Walters has been picking up trash in the area for about 12 years. He started in his own neighborhood, but about four years ago, he began cleaning Mohouli, which he said is more heavily frequented and contains more rubbish. The process takes about an hour. He gets the job done while listening to his favorite blues tunes, and humming along quietly, as he explained jokingly, so that passing bike riders don’t catch remnants of him singing.
Through the years, he’s seen just about everything. Most commonly he collects empty plastic bottles, food containers, cigarette butts and trash that’s flown loose from moving vehicles.
But he also sees sanitary items, used cotton swabs, even personal floss picks — “I can’t believe how many people drive around and throw those out the window,” he said with a laugh.
He’s had some big finds, too. Once he found an iPhone in pristine condition. He returned it to the cellphone carrier store where it found its rightful owner. He also once found a commemorative silver dollar, which he also attempted to return through Craigslist.
Walters has never asked for recognition. But longtime Hilo resident Takao Shikuma, who lives near the extension, sent the Tribune-Herald a letter earlier this month asking for the longstanding volunteer to be recognized. Shikuma’s wife, Elaine, said Friday they’ve noticed his efforts for years.
“He’s just so pleasant,” Elaine Shikuma said. “It’s his involvement trying to beautify the areas. He should get that recognition for that. He’s always doing his job.”
Occasionally cars driving by will honk in support, Walters said, or other pedestrians stop to chat and thank him. Among them, is Mayor-elect Harry Kim, who regularly bikes along the extension and always stops to extend gratitude, he said. When contacted by the Tribune-Herald on Friday, Kim said he’d been wanting to find a way to acknowledge Walters for a while.
“I’m telling you he’s such a special guy,” Kim said Friday. “He’s such a person of warmth and friendliness and that’s why I make a point to talk to him just to say, ‘Thank you.’ He’s just such a super person.”
Walters said he hopes his efforts encourage people to litter less. He operates by a theory called the “broken windows theory” — the idea that, if a window is left unrepaired, those walking by will assume no one cares.
“My thought is, if there’s rubbish all over the road, people will think nothing of throwing another piece out,” Walters said.
“But if they see it pristine, hopefully they look and say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to be the first guy to throw a piece of rubbish out there.’ So, then maybe they don’t throw it.”

KEALAKEKUA — A dream has come true at the Aloha Theatre.

APAC purchases Aloha Theatre: Deal secures permanent home for performing arts organization

KEALAKEKUA — A dream has come true at the Aloha Theatre.
The board of directors of the Aloha Performing Arts Company announced the organization purchased the Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu, where it has resided for most of its history, thus securing a permanent home for the company.
“The purchase of the Aloha Theatre has been an APAC dream for as long as I have been involved,” said APAC Artistic Director Jerry Tracy. “It has always seemed like an impossible dream, and now that it has come true, it is practically surreal.”
Creating a stable home for APAC’s live theater presentations and performances by other community groups was the primary reason for pursuing the purchase, the organization said. APAC also is concerned with preserving the historic building that is an important part of the cultural fabric of Kona.
“Aloha Theatre is a grand old lady, but showing her age a bit,” Tracy said. “The mana in the place is palpable. If the walls could talk, what stories would come tumbling down from them!”
The building is steeped in Kona history. Completed in 1932 as the Tanimoto Theatre, it was an active movie house and a chief source of entertainment for residents of Kona, especially coffee workers. The name was changed to Aloha Theatre after World War II, and ownership of the property changed hands many times through the years. A stage was added in the 1980s and live community theater performances began to complement movie showings.
It’s not an easy task for a nonprofit organization such as APAC to take on the caretaking responsibility of a major community landmark, the company said in a news release.
“We evaluated every aspect of the transaction, and the board concluded that this was a strategic opportunity that couldn’t be ignored,” said APAC Operations Director Melissa Geiger.
Through the generosity of the previous owners, Len and Sue Welter, the parties were able to structure the purchase so APAC can be assured a stable location and an improved financial position. APAC also acknowledged the professional assistance of Patricia Henderson, representing the Welters, Darl Gleed of Darl Gleed &Associates, and Vonnie Razo of First American Title Co. Inc.
In coming months, APAC will turn to its supporters to help fund the next chapter of Aloha Theatre history. The goal will be to raise money not only to help with the purchase, but also to protect and improve the building and its contents.
“I hope we will apply lots of loving care to the building to make sure future generations will be able to experience the joy and growth I have derived from it over the last quarter century,” Tracy said.

BIIF football: Defense leads Honokaa to rare win over Kealakehe
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
KAILUA-KONA —As the final seconds ticked off the clock at Waverider Stadium, Honokaa counted down.
“3-2-1,” the Dragons roared with helmets in the air.
Just moments earlier, sophomore Kainalu Swift jumped from the rain soaked turf of Waverider Stadium with his second interception of the night to seal the Honokaa’s 12-7 victory over Kealakehe (0-1 BIIF, 0-2 overall).
The win over the Waveriders was the first for the Dragons since 2009.
Honokaa (1-0, 2-0) quarterback Ocean Guerpo-Beamer exited with an injury early in the second half, but led the way with 146 yards and a touchdown strike on 9 of 21 passing. Ryon Kunishige-Aikau had a TD catch, and Kelvin Falk went over the 100-yard mark receiving.
Kealakehe quarterback Bryton Lewi was 6 of 19 passing for 93 yards through the air, adding 54 yards and touchdown on the ground.
Defense was the name of the game, especially in the first half of the BIIF opener for both teams.
For Kealakehe, the problems stemmed from execution running the read option and drops from wide receivers.
Honokaa had bigger problems — literally. The Dragons ground game had no luck getting around the Waveriders stingy D-line duo of BJ Mareko-Berdon and Hiram Anakalea.
The highlights included timely interceptions by Honokaa’s Kainalu Lau and Kealakehe’s Ismail Souza and a battle for a fumble on a muffed punt.
It seemed only appropriate the first score of the game would come from a Honokaa safety.
Then the rain stopped and the downpour of points began — at least for a little.
Late in the second quarter, Lewi evaded some Honokaa defenders in the backfield and outran the rest for a 54-yard touchdown to put the Waveriders up. The scamper nearly doubled Kealakehe’s offense up to that point.
It seemed like the perfect momentum boost before half, but Honokaa had other ideas. Guerpo-Beamer connected on a long strike to Gene Ansagay and finished the scoring drive on a 29-yard pass to Kunishige-Aikau, wrestling away the lead before half.
The offensive outburst didn’t carry over to the second half. At one point in the third quarter, the teams combined for three fumbles on four plays.
Honokaa’s offensive woes originated from injury trouble, with both Guerpo-Beamer and starting running back Kealakai Lindsey sidelined with injuries.
With Guerpo-Beamer out, the Honokaa game plan had to be adapted, and it took some time. Junior Sheltyn Carvalho took over the quarterback duties and missed on his first three passes. But the routes got shorter and the gains became longer. On a simple screen, Falk ran 80 yards before getting tackle inside the red zone.
The drive, however, nearly turned into a scoop and score for Kealakehe on a blocked field goal, as Richard Manuzzi picked up the ball around his own goal line and ran it to midfield.
Kealakehe’s ensuing drive last just two plays before an interception deep over the middle by Swift — the Waveriders fourth turnover of the second half.
Despite the turnovers and lack of offense, Kealakehe was still just one big play away from taking back the lead as the fourth quarter ticked away. That play seemed to come on middle screen from Lewi to Dallas “Malosi” Laasaga that put Kealakehe just five yards way from pay dirt.
The Waveriders came up short on three opportunities, and the rain-soaked, offensive-starved crowd awoke for a 4th and goal from the 5-yard line with 2:47 left on the clock. From shotgun, Lewi looked left, then threw right to an open Laasaga. But the ball bounced just short, and Honokaa took over on downs.
Kealakehe got the ball back with 1:18 left, but Swift’s second interception and a few quick QB kneels ended the game.

Vul volleyball hopes bad chemistry doesn’t revisit

At the end of a 2015 season that hadn’t gone well, UH-Hilo volleyball coach Tino Reyes began to look for transformational talent he might be able to recruit to the Big Island and his search took him to a couple of players in Bulgaria.
From Bulgaria to Hilo sounds like a bit of a stretch and, in the end, it was for Reyes, who got the school down to the final two in consideration for a pair of lanky twins — 6-foot-2 and 6-0 — that could have made a major difference in the program.
“It was one of those things that, when you see the kind of talent they have, you think you should reach out just to see if there’s a chance,” Reyes said. “Then, I could tell there was actual interest, they liked the idea of coming here, and I knew it was an extreme long shot, but as it went along, I didn’t sense the interest going away.
“They were the highest level players I’ve ever recruited,” he said. “They were both all-conference first team in ability, at the least.”
At the end though, the twins settled on a school in Florida and Reyes was left without a recruiting class to speak of, though some walk-ons have showed him some surprising potential.
“It’s not depressing (to lose out on the twins), because we have a pretty good group and our issues last year weren’t so much a lack of talent as they were just giving away points like we did,” Reyes said. “The unforced errors killed us, you give away four or five of those and you lose a game by three points and it kind of sends a message.”
The Vulcans finished with an 11-12 record that suggested a break or two here or there could have resulted in a winning season.
Another way to judge a season is on a pass-fail basis, which gets back to the common sense proposition of whether a team played to its potential, never mind the record.
The first is the customary method of appraisal, the second, perhaps, a more enlightened view, but neither one sits well with the leaders of the 2016 team.
“It was really discouraging,” said outside hitter Marley Strand-Nicolaisen, the senior from Naalehu who led the Vulcans with 328 kills. “We had talent but we could not come together, we couldn’t jell and play together. Discouraging, frustrating, all that.”
At the end, UHH lost its last four matches at a time it had an 11-8 record and a chance to take a step forward. Instead, the last four defeats were so convincing — the Vulcans won only two games in those matches — it left a sour taste to chew on all offseason.
“It’s bad to think about,” said senior Sienna Miller. “The chemistry was bad and it just got in the way and kept us from being as good as we could have been. There were cliques away from the team and whatever the personalities were, it was just the case that not everyone had the same responsiveness to each other, it just made it all tough.”
Distasteful memories are quickly replaced when present moments become agreeable and that seems to be the case at UHH, which opens the season at home a week from Monday with a non conference match against Cal Poly Pomona.
“It’s definitely a better feel (this year),” said Strand-Nicolaisen, “the chemistry is good and it seems like people are ready to be accountable, ready to get better.”
Part of that process comes from accepting leadership from the seniors, something Strand-Nicolaisen is geared up to provide. She was the conference’s freshman of the year and now she would like to close out her Vulcans career as a comprehensive leader and contributor to a winning team.
“I like being a leader,” she said, “we all need to be responsible to each other and ourselves, we need to understand how to play together and leaders need to hold everyone accountable. I’m pretty excited about our team, to be honest.”
Miller also senses a more conducive environment for the tasks ahead.
“This is the best feeling I’ve had (starting a season),” she said, “I think we have the talent to compete hard, everyone seems open to learn and grow — even the seniors — and that sort of puts us all together, it makes everything feel better.”
Yes, they both heard stories about the Bulgarian twins.
“I didn’t know if it was real or what,” said Strand-Nicolaisen, “but yeah, that would have been great.”
“I was totally open for it,” said Miller, “they obviously would have been a big help, but you can’t feel bad about it not happening, because we have a good team here, working together.”
That’s about as good a place to be as you can ask for with the start of the season right around the corner.

The ‘Alala Project invites the public to attend a blessing of a new mural on the Kress Building in Hilo with a 30-minute ceremony starting at 1 p.m. Sept. 8.
The mural, located on the Kalakaua Street side of the building, was designed by Oahu artist Patrick Ching and painted with help from fourth-grade students at Connections Public Charter School.
The ‘Alala Project is working toward the reintroduction of ‘alala (Hawaiian crow) to the wild. A group of captive-reared juveniles will be released in November.
The project is a collaboration between the state Department of Land and Natural Resource’s Division of Forestry and Wildlife, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the San Diego Zoo.

BIIF eight-man football: Medeiros-Dancel scores every which way for Ka’u
| null | null |
www.hawaiitribune-herald.com
|
PAHOA – The eight-man football game plans featured by Ka’u and Pahoa on Saturday did not favor a wide receiver/defensive back such as the Trojans’ Kainalu Medeiros-Dancel. Not at all.
Ka’u was content to run the quarterback again and again, though one of its few completions was a long touchdown pass to Medeiros-Dancel.
The Daggers were just as likely to try a pooch kick or an onsides kick than kick deep, but when they did, Medeiros-Dancel came up with a electrifying return for a score.
Pahoa didn’t attempt to establish its passing game until a potential game-tying drive late in the fourth quarter. Wouldn’t you know it? – that’s when Medeiros-Dancel came up with a game-sealing interception.
Smash-mouth football seemingly left little room for a gamebreaker to make his mark, but the senior broke open the BIIF season opener anyway, pushing Ka’u to a 26-18 victory on the Daggers field.
“I just kept my head up and looked for openings,” he said. “Whether I’m blocking or running, they just tell me to fire off the line hard.”
Starting their third year of eight-man, the Daggers looked in prime position to grab their first victory when quarterback Justin Castro powered into the end zone on keeper from 5 yards out to give Pahoa a 18-12 lead with just more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter.
On the ensuing kickoff, the only player to make good contact with Medeiros-Dancel was teammate John Kalahiki.
“He almost tackled me,” Medeiros-Dancel.
While Kalahiki hit the ground after a collision and two Daggers appeared to let up on the play, Medeiros-Dancel raced down the right sideline on a 82-yard return.
“That got everybody pumped up,” said quarterback Buddy Flores, who rumbled in for the two-point conversion, the only successful one by either team, to give Ka’u its first lead.
“This means we have to push harder next practice,” he said. “Now we know what we are up against, and it’s time to work harder.”
Flores ran and passed for a score as the Trojans overcame three turnovers.
Most of Ka’u’s plays involved either Flores or Zachary Kai lining up in the shotgun and simply taking it left, right or up the middle.
Flores ran 21 times, finally getting loose on a 46-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, finishing with 88 hard-earned yards.
Both of the Trojans’ completions went for scores. Kai and Kalahiki connected for a 30-yard score in the second quarter. Kai ran 14 times and gained 64 yards.
“Every game is a different game plan,” coach DuWayne Ke. “Today the plan was to let them have fun.
“Kainalu stepped up for everything, but it was team win.”
Pahoa played in front for most of the first three quarters.
The Dragons took advantage of a fumble and a fourth-down stop deep in Ka’u territory as Josiah Anderson-Letreta and Duane Correa compiled short touchdown runs in the first half, and Kaniala Harris led the ground-heavy attack with 85 yards.
Castro completed 5 of 15 passes but finished with negative yardage on his 19 runs thanks to botched snap that lost 31 yards. Harris cleaned up the mistake with an interception.
“My line did good and the defense was doing all right until (Flores’) run up the middle,” Daggers coach Chris Midel said. “I like how we run the ball, we just need more protection up front.”
For most of the game, Pahoa met the physical challenge, but injuries took a toll. The Daggers played most of the game with out their best defensive player when William Stinnett injured his knee.
“A lot of positives,” Midel said. “We’ll work on some things.”
Fourth-quarter sacks by Manu Kalau-Keliikoa and Kaimana Davis helped preserve the win for Ka’u, which has a quick turnaround and plays Kohala on Thursday night at Keaau High. After calling his own number so many times, a tired Flores figured the Trojans have their running game down.
“So the next game we’re going to work on our passing,” he said.
Ka’u 6 6 8 6 – 26
Pahoa 6 6 6 0 –18
First quarter
Pahoa – Josiah Anderson-Letreta 3 run (kick blocked)
Ka’u – Kainalu Medeiros-Dancel 64 pass from Buddy Flores (pass failed)
Second quarter
Pahoa – Duane Correa 2 run (run failed)
Ka’u – John Kalahiki 30 pass from Zachary Kai (run failed)
Third quarter
Pahoa – Justin Castro 5 run (pass failed)
Ka’u – Medeiros-Dancel 82 kickoff return (Flores run)
Fourth quarter
Ka’u – Flores 46 run (run failed)

Dozens of East Hawaii teachers, principals, complex area administrators and community members gathered Wednesday to discuss ways to improve Hawaii’s education system. The town hall meeting was among several scheduled around the state this summer to compile input on the Every Student Succeeds Act. The new federal education law is replacing No Child Left Behind.
Members of Gov. David Ige’s “ESSA team” — a group of education leaders largely from Oahu — led the two-hour meeting at Waiakea High School.
Proponents of the new ESSA law say it will give states more flexibility when creating standards. The law will be implemented for the 2017-18 school year.
“There’s a lot of hope,” said attendee Jenifer Tsuji, a teacher at Mountain View Elementary School. “They seem to be quite open to wanting to hear from us. The fact that they have reached out to the community to meet our needs looks really hopeful. This is a lot more hopeful than I’ve felt in a long time.”
The state is drafting a plan to submit to the federal government that will describe how Hawaii will meet requirements of the new law. It’s also drafting a separate “blueprint” — essentially a “larger picture” look at the state’s education system, members of the ESSA team said.
The state Department of Education is also currently updating its Joint Strategic Plan which outlines goals to help Hawaii students succeed.

New hunting procedures at PTA

Hunters are required to register online with new hunting requirements at Pohakuloa Training Area.
Under the new procedures, prospective hunters are required to register for an account on the iSportsman website at pta.isportsman.net. From the website, hunters will need to obtain a background check, view a safety video, pass a short quiz and register their firearms.
Background checks will be performed by the Army with no additional cost to hunters. Once all the requirements are met, hunters are then eligible to purchase their hunting permits on the website.
Paper check-in forms at hunter check stations will no longer be used. All hunters should read and familiarize themselves with the new PTA Hunting Policy, which can be found using the Regulations tab near the top of the website.
“As hunting remains closed due to ongoing training at PTA, hunters should take advantage of this time and register themselves and obtain a hunting permit on the iSportsman website,” said John Polhemus, PTA game manager. “Once hunters meet all the requirements, they will be vetted and ready for hunting when it opens back up.”
Those who wish to participate in shotgun game bird hunting this winter or the spring turkey season will need to submit a firearms registration form, along with copies of their county registration for each firearm they plan to use on PTA.
All permits are good through June 30, 2017. Each individual should select the permit that best fits their hunting activity, as only one permit is allowed per account. Nonhunter permits are available for those who wish to accompany permitted hunters, but they must also create an account and complete the background check and safety brief requirements.
Nonhunter permit holders can assist in recovering game, but cannot actively participate in any hunting activity, and cannot be in possession of any weapon or ammunition at any time.
For additional questions, contact the PTA game manager at 315-1545 or email pohakuloa.hunting@gmail.com.

Real-life CSI coming to Kona

Call it “CSI: Kona.”
No, a new television series is not coming to West Hawaii, but “Introduction to Forensics: Real-Life CSI” is an upcoming class in Kailua-Kona being offered by the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s College of Continuing Education and Community Service.
Classes will take place 5-7 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 13-Nov. 22, at Kealakehe Intermediate School (room TBA), with no session Nov. 8. Tuition is $150.
The textbook “Criminalistics: An Introduction to Forensic Science, 8th edition” by Richard Saferstein is required.
This noncredit class will introduce participants to the field of forensic science. Evidence collected at a crime scene can often tell the story of a criminal act if properly interpreted. Detection and analysis of DNA traces, fiber, hair, body fluids, fingerprints, footprints, toxic substances and illegal drugs are fundamental to the forensic scientist’s craft.
Instructor is Dr. Kristal Uhl-Blacksmith, an environmental engineering consultant and former mortician, who has taught biology, anatomy and forensics.
For more information or to register, contact CCECS at 932-7830 or visit hilo.hawaii.edu/ccecs.

Isle under hurricane warning

Hawaii Island is under a hurricane warning as officials prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Madeline.
The warning means hurricane conditions are expected Wednesday into early Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
As of 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Hawaii County was considering opening emergency shelters.
Ed Teixeira, county interim civil defense director, said shelters could be opened as early as Tuesday if the call is made.
Asked what his main concern is, Teixeira said: “It’s not weakening fast enough.”
Madeline remained a category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph. It was 370 miles east of Hilo and moving west at 10 mph as of 11 a.m.
The weather service said it expects Madeline to slowly weaken as it encounters vertical wind shear but remain a “dangerous hurricane” as it passes just south of the island late Wednesday and early Thursday.
The hurricane is forecast to have maximum sustained winds of 105 mph Wednesday morning and 80 mph Thursday morning.
Hurricane Lester was 1,275 miles east of Hilo as of 11 a.m. with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph. It’s forecast to pass the island to the north Saturday.

Beware the company you keep: EpiPens and pharma bro Martin Shkreli

In 2015, the so-called pharma bro Martin Shkreli vaulted to the top of America’s Most Despised list. How? By crowing about how his company hiked the price of a vital drug by more than 5,000 percent.
Cue the lightning bolts — congressional inquiries, media scrutiny and a pitchfork brigade of customers who demanded a rollback of the price hike.
Long story short: Shkreli lost his job and was busted on unrelated securities fraud charges.
You would think, having watched Shkreli’s tumble, that CEOs across America would steer clear of such controversy. After all, what company seeks to become an internet meme for greed? Or the first item that pops up in a Google search on price-gouging?
Enter drugmaker Mylan and its blockbuster EpiPen. Every parent with a child who has allergies knows about the pen. It’s a spring-loaded syringelike device that delivers a dose of epinephrine to quell breathing problems, swelling and other severe allergic reactions. Parents stash them everywhere — in kids’ backpacks, in desks, at home, in the car. Adults do the same because if you have an allergic reaction, seconds count. The pens come in packs of two and must be replaced every year.
Nine years ago, when Mylan acquired the EpiPen, a two-dose package cost around $94. Today, the average cost has spiked to more than $600. That price hits people without insurance or those with high deductibles hardest.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress demand Mylan cut the price. An internet petition to Congress, called “Stop the EpiPen Price Gouging,” has gathered more than 121,000 signatures, and the tally is rising fast.
On Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called the EpiPen price hike “outrageous.”
On Thursday, Mylan said it would boost programs that help patients pay for the EpiPen but would not reduce the price.
Stay tuned for Capitol Hill hearings and investigations.
Mylan, welcome to Shkreli-Land.
Among the defenders of Mylan’s pricing is … you guessed it: Martin Shkreli.
“Mylan is the good guy,” Shkreli told CBS News. “They had one product where they finally started making a little bit of money and everyone is going crazy over it.”
We don’t begrudge Mylan its profits. And no, we can’t say if the price of the EpiPens is too high. That’s for the market to decide.
What we do know is that when Shkreli spiked the price of his company’s drug, Daraprim, competitors emerged to offer similar drugs at lower prices. The same could happen here. That’s the way the market works. It may already be working:
In Illinois, emergency medical workers will soon be allowed to use epinephrine injected via syringe rather than EpiPen. The new law takes effect Jan. 1.
If the price of EpiPen continues to rise, we’d expect to see more of that, and more pressure on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to clear competitors’ devices for sale.
Meanwhile, Mylan is free to charge whatever the market will bear. It makes an excellent product that can save lives. That’s extremely valuable.
But so is a company’s reputation. And its customers’ good will. Because the market reward and punishes according to those attributes too.
Bottom line: Companies that care what the world and their customers think of them don’t relish being mentioned in the same breath as Martin Shkreli.

Kickboxing throwdown in Waimea features local youths

West Hawaii Today
KAILUA-KONA — Josh Wong, as tiny as a speed bag, wants to even the score.
Wearing boxing gloves as big as his head, the 9-year-old worked a hanging target inside Sonny Westbrook’s gym in round-like intervals, pouring sweat like a pro.
“Hands up, hands up,” Westbrook, a Golden Gloves boxer, star bodyguard and teacher, called out. “Push.”
A horn sounded, and Wong rested. Then the horn sounded and he was back at it.
“His dad, tells me, ‘Oh, these kids, man, if they don’t go to the gym, they get upset,’” Westbrook said of Wong. “You know, I’d rather see them come down to the gym than go somewhere else.”
Somewhere else means ending up nowhere good. Wasting time, finding trouble, that sort of thing. And not just Wong, anybody. It’s the reason Westbrook is still running his gym of 24 years, the no-frills Kona Boxing Club at Old Kona Airport Park.
Westbrook likes offering an outlet where kids learn discipline, hard work and respect for others, which comes from honing the craft of boxing and kickboxing.
“Not all the kids are football players, not all the kids are basketball players. They all find different interests,” said Westbrook, who earned some national fame body-guarding in the realty show, Dog the Bounty Hunter. “That was my thing. And boxing was my thing that got me out of trouble. It made me learn how to take care of myself, and not be afraid of things.”
While he’s been coaching keiki for two decades — boxing himself for 50 years with 170-some bouts to his credit — Westbrook is reaching into a old, new bag of tricks by resurrecting boxing matches for kids. The club is holding its first kickboxing event of the year today at Thelma Parker Gym in Waimea. Fights start at 6:30 p.m. and features fighters from 7 to 17 years old, from Kona, Hilo, Waimea, Kohala, and Honolulu.
It’s been years since tournaments were routinely scheduled but Westbrook wants to give something that will give kids a focused goal — all the more incentive to train. Kona Boxing Club hosted Fight Night last year, and Westbrook and assistant coaches Kaleo Padilla and Bodie Paahana, wants multiple events a year.
Which is where Wong comes in.
He has a score to settle. His fighting record is 0-1 — but that first fight was a while ago when he was still new. Now, with over a year of training under his belt, he’s ready to get his first win on the board.
“It just tells me to worker harder, try harder for this fight,” he said about what he took away from the loss, adding that he’s a little nervous because his opponent today is 3-0.
But he knows what he needs to work on and where he excels.
“I think I need to improve on my breath, cuz I’m usually pretty tired,” he said. “But I think I’m really good with my kicks and moving around.”
Olivia Santini just turned 18 so she will take part in the exhibition matches. Santini works as a security guard and has absorbed all the lessons kickboxing has imparted: Discipline, respect for others and confidence.
“I mean, I’m a girl and I do security but really, if anyone came up to me …,” she said. “He’s taught me so much. I’m like, I’m not scared of anyone. I know how to handle myself.”
Same with Ademar Herredia, 16, who’s learned all the same things and whose confidence was clear.
“I want to win,” he said. “I’m confident I’m going to win.”
It’s exactly what Westbook wants to get across. He’s watched so many former pupils learn, grow, leave, come back, and bring their own families back into his gym. That’s the best part.
“Generation by generation,” he calls it.
Which is the best part.
“It helped me a lot, so I want to pass it on, you know what I mean?” Westbrook said. “I can’t take it with me, I got to pass it on to the kids.”
Tickets: Fights will be for kids 7 to 17 years old. Tickets at the door for ages from 7-12 are $8 and for and 13 years old to adult is $12. Fights will be for kids 7 to 17 years old. Exhibition bouts will take place for those 18 and up.
