The square building on South Beretania is the most interesting structure on Oahu. Its open-air design is appropriately shaped like twin volcanoes surrounded by a reflective pool filled with tilapia frolicking in and out of a few wellplaced foundations.

Government And The Work Force

Workers in America are fortunate compared to many others around the world. That’s a wellknown fact. One of the reasons is our government, management and labor leaders are constantly trying to improve workers’ environment.

Lt. Leigh Cotterell, spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard, had the quote of 2012. He was speaking about a 66-year-old Seattle sailor who was reported missing in the Pacific Ocean while attempting to sail from Kauai to Oahu.

Mr. Kawamoto, Kokua Hawaii

I was amused by the state’s announcement that it is cracking down on property owners whose landscapes encroach on public rights of way. The opposite is usually the case, isn’t it? The public encroaches on the property owners.

Don’t Be Driven By Fear Of Failure

Failure is probably one of the most-feared words in Hawaii’s fragile economic environment. Too many people seem to be afraid to try new ideas or dump the old ones that haven’t worked.

Hawaii has a lot to offer the world of business, although there are many people, including those in office in Washington, D.C., who insinuate that Hawaii is not a place to engage in serious business. For that reason I believe people who work in Hawaii’s resort community have developed a unique pitch for doing business here. There are many examples, but a couple have achieved top ratings over the years.

Don’t Believe Everything

There are a lot of things to believe in this time of year, but there are a lot of things not to believe in as well.

The Season Of Beautiful Lights

Hawaii produces a lot of great spectacles during the holidays.

Drowning In Water Main Breaks

I’m sure nobody is counting, but water main breaks are becoming a daily routine.

APEC Winners And Losers

Larry Price — 2011-11-23T10:00:34+00:00

To the amazement of many residents, the APEC summit went off without a hitch. And while the organizers are still talking about what a great deal it was for Hawaii, a lot of residents disagree.
