WASHINGTON >> Former U.S. security officials issued scathing rebukes to President Donald Trump today, admonishing him for yanking a top former spy chief’s security clearance in what they cast as an act of political vengeance. Trump said he’d had to do “something” about the “rigged” federal probe of Russian election interference.

Trump’s admission that he acted out of frustration about the Russia probe underscored his willingness to use his executive power to fight back against an investigation he sees as a threat to his presidency. Legal experts said the dispute may add to the evidence being reviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller.

In an opinion piece in The New York Times, former CIA Director John Brennan said Trump’s decision, announced Wednesday, to deny him access to classified information was a desperate attempt to end Mueller’s investigation. Brennan, who served under President Barack Obama and has become a vocal Trump critic, called Trump’s claims that he did not collude with Russia “hogwash.”

The only question remaining is whether the collusion amounts to a “constituted criminally liable conspiracy,” Brennan wrote.

Later today, the retired Navy admiral who oversaw the raid that killed Osama bin Laden called Trump’s moves “McCarthy-era tactics.” Writing in The Washington Post, William H. McRaven said he would “consider it an honor” if Trump would revoke his clearance, as well.

“Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation,” McRaven wrote.

That was followed late today by a joint letter from 12 former senior intelligence officials calling Trump’s action “ill-considered and unprecedented.” They said it “has nothing to do with who should and should not hold security clearances — and everything to do with an attempt to stifle free speech.”

The signees included six former CIA directors, five former deputy directors and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Two of the signees — Clapper and former CIA Director Michael Hayden — have appeared on a White House list of people who may also have their security clearances revoked.

Trump on Wednesday openly tied his decision to strip Brennan of his clearance — and threaten nearly a dozen other former and current officials — to the ongoing investigation into Russian election meddling and possible collusion with his campaign. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump again called the probe a “rigged witch hunt” and said “these people led it!”

“So I think it’s something that had to be done,” he said.

The president’s comments were a swift departure from the official explanation given by the White House earlier Wednesday that cited the “the risks” posed by Brennan’s alleged “erratic conduct and behavior.” It marked the latest example of the president contradicting a story his aides had put forward to explain his motivations.

Attorneys said the revocation appeared to be within the president’s authority. But they noted the power play also could be used to reinforce a case alleging obstruction of justice, following the president’s firing of former FBI Director James Comey and his repeated tweets calling for the investigation to end.

Patrick Cotter, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York and a longtime white-collar defense attorney, said that while a prosecutor could argue that Trump’s targeting of clearances was intended as a warning that “if you contribute to, participate in, support the Russia probe and I find out about it, I’m going to punish you,” it is likely not obstruction in itself.

But, he said the move would be a “powerful piece of evidence” for prosecutors as part of a pattern to demonstrate an intent to use presidential power in connection with the probe.

Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor agreed.

“What it shows is that the president is fixated on the Russia investigation, he’s angry about it, and he wants to do everything he can to discourage or slow down the investigation,” he said.

Special Counsel Mueller and his team have been looking at Trump’s public statements and tweets as they investigate whether the president could be guilty of obstruction.

“I don’t think it advances the criminal obstruction case, but I think it’s factually relevant,” said Mark Zaid, a national security attorney. “I think it shows the state of mind and intent to interfere or impede any unfavorable discussion of his potential connection to Russia.”

Former CIA directors and other top national security officials are typically allowed to keep their clearances, at least for some period. But Trump said Wednesday he is reviewing the clearances of several other former top intelligence and law enforcement officials, including former FBI Director Comey and current senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. All are critics of the president or are people who Trump appears to believe are against him.

The initial White House statement about Brennan’s clearance made no reference to the Russia investigation. Instead, the president said he was fulfilling his “constitutional responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information,” even though he made no suggestion that Brennan was improperly exposing the nation’s secrets.

“Mr. Brennan’s lying and recent conduct characterized by increasingly frenzied commentary is wholly inconsistent with access to the nations’ most closely held secrets,” Trump said.

Just hours later, his explanation had changed.

“You look at any of them and you see the things they’ve done,” Trump told the Journal. “In some cases, they’ve lied before Congress. The Hillary Clinton whole investigation was a total sham.”

“I don’t trust many of those people on that list,” he said. “I think that they’re very duplicitous. I think they’re not good people.”

The episode was reminiscent of Trump’s shifting explanations for firing Comey and the evolving descriptions of the Trump Tower meeting between top campaign aides and a Kremlin-connected lawyer — both topics of interest to Mueller.

And it underscores why the president’s lawyers are fearful of allowing Trump to sit down for an interview with Mueller’s team, as Trump has repeatedly said he is interested in doing.

In announcing Comey’s firing, the White House initially cited the former FBI director’s handling of the probe into Democratic rival Clinton’s emails, seizing on the FBI director’s decision to divulge details of the probe to the public during her campaign against Trump.

But a few days after Comey was dismissed, Trump told NBC’s Lester Holt in an interview that he was really thinking of “this Russia thing” when he fired Comey.

Trump later changed again, tweeting that he “never fired James Comey because of Russia!”

Early this month, he admitted in a tweet that the Trump Tower meeting, which was arranged by his son, Donald Trump Jr., “was a meeting to get information on an opponent.”

That directly contradicted a July 2017 statement from Trump Jr. — written with the consultation of the White House — that claimed the meeting had been primarily about adoption.

The Lanikai Pillbox trail is set to reopen Monday after a 60-day closure for repairs to the two observation stations, more commonly referred to as the “pillboxes,” state officials announced this evening.

The state Department of Land and Natural Resources asked that hikers stay off the trail on Ka‘iwa Ridge while final work is completed this holiday weekend.

Work began June 21, and consisted of concrete spall repair at the “pillboxes.” The contractor, Tokunaga Masonry Inc., also installed new, steel flange roof supports, and applied roof sealant to the World War II-era observation structures to protect them from further weathering.

The project, at a cost of about $248,000, was originally planned for March, but delayed pending Federal Aviation Administration approval of the contractor’s flight plan to transport materials and equipment.

Known for its scenic vistas and iconic structures, the trail has become a popular bucket list destination due to social media and online outlets, according to the state. It is popular among both residents and visitors alike.

To address concerns about trail capacity, visitor safety and comfort, the state, along with planning consultant firm, PBR Hawaii, is developing a master plan for the trail. PBR Hawaii held a public meeting in January, and conducted an online survey, which closed in June.

Future work at the trail will include debris removal by helicopter in September, according to DLNR, which will require another one-day closure. The state is also surveying the trail alignment and developing a strategy for graffiti removal.

Survey findings and updates on the master plan will be posted at this link.

Division of Conservation Resources Enforcement Division (DOCARE) officers arrested for contempt of court the 57-year-old owner of a sailboat that burned and sank Monday night at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor.

Department of Land and Natural Resources’ DOCARE issued a citation to Salvatore Di Amore for mooring without a permit since at least September. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear in District Court over that citation. He was arrested at 11:05 a.m. today, and his bail was set at $150.

Since Di Amore did not have insurance, DLNR’s Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation likely will have to recover the sailboat, a DLNR spokesman said.

“Scofflaws be aware, we will hold violators accountable for their actions and physically arrest them if necessary,” DLNR Deputy Enforcement Chief Jason Redulla said in a written statement.

DLNR said on Wednesday it started the impound process for six out of roughly 18 to 20 boats illegally moored at the harbor, including the one that burned and sank.

After four years of documenting the abuse of the posted rules prohibiting animals in Ala Moana Beach Park, my pictures show dozens of violations — no dog license, dogs unleashed and running free on the beach, ocean swimming, dog poop not picked up, dogs on paddleboards, dogs in place for hours and not traversing the park.

My very favorite picture is of an owner smoking a cigar, playing flying-Frisbee fetch with his unleashed dog — four violations in all, and no enforcement.

There should be no dog park in Ala Moana Beach Park (“Give input on Ala Moana park plans,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Aug. 12). Some dog owners are knowingly and willfully ignoring the posted signs. Having a dog park will not deter the abuse. Not every dog owner is dishonorable, but there are too many abusers for us to just leap with faith and hope a dog park will magically stop the abuse or change the current lax, enforcement practices.

Vote Republican in general election

It was reported there are close to 742,000 registered voters in the state of Hawaii. Obviously not everyone voted in last Saturday’s primary election. Only supporters for the Democratic Party of Hawaii showed up at the polls, like they do every election year.

I do hope every registered voters, especially those who did not vote in the primary election, will show up for the general election this November and vote every Democratic incumbent out of office. The Democrats have been in power since 1959. They are responsible for the high cost of living in Hawaii, resulting in the exodus of hundreds of born-in-Hawaii residents moving to the mainland.

In addition, I would like to see Hawaii send conservative Republican Cam Cavasso to the U.S. House of Representatives. The last time we had Republicans on our island congressional team were U.S. Rep. Pat Saiki (1987-1991) and the late and great U.S. Sen. Hiram Fong (1959-1977). He was my longtime favorite U.S. senator.

Ige isn’t ‘nebbish’; he gets things done

For the first time in my life, I’m writing a letter to the editor. I just had to disagree with the University of Hawaii professor who called Gov. David Ige “nebbish” (“With women losing major races, some question role of gender bias,” Star-Advertiser, Aug. 15). I do not see the governor as “pitifully ineffectual.”

He is quiet and low-key, but he does get things done. Of course he hasn’t solved every state problem; no governor has. I would think Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim also is writing a letter to disagree with the professor. Gender bias might have had some effect on the outcome, but I don’t think it was a major factor.

Hanabusa didn’t have anything to say

U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa would have been a fine governor for Hawaii. She certainly has the experience, the intelligence and the heart.

What Hanabusa did not have was a campaign that actually said anything, and I can agree with John Hart’s general assessment (“With women losing major races, some question role of gender bias,” Star-Advertiser, Aug. 15).

Hanabusa’s campaign was just as vague as Hillary Clinton’s failed attempt in the last presidential election campaign.

The idea that gender bias is a deciding factor in elections in the 21st century is simply “sour grapes.”

Voting should be a patriotic act

Another election is over, and it doesn’t seem to matter if it is a primary or a general, a state or a national — we can’t even get 50 percent of registered voters to vote. Why is this? Let’s see a statistically significant poll to discover the roots of the failure of the majority to vote.

I feel I did my part for many years as a high school teacher of U.S. and world history, practically begging my students to take the responsibility of voting seriously, as their critical duty, once they could register.

I also emphasized critical thinking in the evaluation of candidates. Perhaps I should have emphasized that they consider being candidates also. Or has all of politics become too controlled and tragically tainted by big money and personal attacks?

Perhaps we as a nation need an infusion of truth, justice and honor — genuine American patriotism — by voting, not just flag-waving or standing or kneeling during our national anthem.

Neighborhoods can’t belong to tourists

I so disagree with the gentlemen who said that restricting lodging would put the economy and jobs “at risk” (“Isles’ economy, jobs at risk if lodging restricted,” Star-Advertiser, Island Voices, Aug. 12). It is a real scare piece and equates future jobs with the downturn of the economy.

I like the mayor’s plan to really crack down on rentals in residential areas. Who says that everyone has to have a “Hawaiian experience” at the cost of our neighborhoods, housing for our own citizens at more reasonable prices, and the ability to park at our own beaches and in front of our own homes?

Who will be left in Hawaii to serve all of these tourists who are staying in houses owned by mainlanders or people who own multiple houses?

We are losing what we love about Hawaii and what I assume tourists come for. We can’t just keep expanding the tourist industry, especially into residential- zoned areas.

Griping about bags a waste of time

Regarding the 15-cent bag fee and the complaints it has generated: It seems to be that writing a letter bemoaning the law takes far more time and energy than just carrying one’s own bag to the store.

Using and reusing your own shopping sack is a simple way to do yourself and the planet a favor. How hard is that?

Anahola, Kauai

Unlike in other states that host parades and other grand celebrations, statehood day for Hawaii is a low-key affair. Today is Statehood Day, observed annually on the third Friday of August in honor of Hawaii becoming the 50th state of the Union in 1959, and it’s a state holiday that gives most folks the day off. But over the years, growing awareness of indigenous rights and Hawaii’s unique monarchy history have tamped overt celebration. We’re rightly proud to be Americans, with all the opportunities that brings, but in this land of aloha, respect for culture and diversity continues to loom large.

Another day, another hurricane

Here we go again. A familiar narrow cone shape, reminiscent of a baseball bat, is computer-drawn on maps, edging scarily close to Hawaii island.

It’s a long way off, but winds reached hurricane force Thursday afternoon. Don’t be fooled by its mild-mannered name: It’s always the quiet types you’ve really got to watch.

Hurricane Lane.

From the looks of it, it could follow a path like that of Hurricane Hector, and just brush below South Point. The weekend will be telling.

Let’s prepare for a big blow — get the supplies we forgot to buy last time — and hope this one stays in its Lane.

Here’s one way to describe the Hawaii Community Development Authority mission: Grasp the reins and try to steer the redevelopment of land-use zones through a state of transition.

The most well-known of these wild-horse regions is Kakaako, an old light-industrial area now in mid-transition to a more residential-commercial mix. Less known among its charges: Kalaeloa, the former Barbers Point Naval Air Station; and Heeia wetlands in Windward Oahu.

Now in charge is Aedward Los Banos, 39, who has been on staff almost continuously since 2014, except for a six-month stretch as chief financial officer at Catholic Charities. Before coming aboard, he worked as chief operating officer for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

It’s been a bit unsettled at the helm of HCDA since the retirement of longtime executive director Anthony Ching in 2016. Los Banos served as interim ED for almost a year until Jesse Souki took over, but then Souki resigned Nov. 30.

In the meantime, Los Banos said, HCDA’s board of directors has become more settled and many of the outstanding project issues resolved (the latest being the go-ahead for Koula, the latest tower being built by Howard Hughes).

So when the top job came around again, he said, the timing seemed right.

“I could see realizing the potential of the agency, really,” Los Banos said. “The board is open to pursuing improvement district projects … where we put the infrastructure, lay the groundwork to create incentives for development.”

The Kamehameha Schools and University of Hawaii alumnus’ educational background is in accounting. He lives with his wife and their two young children in a more old-school neighborhood, in Pacific Heights.

Fun fact: The spelling of his first name happened because one side of the family had a tradition of giving the kids “A” names, he said, while the other side wanted to honor a namesake, Edward.

Question: Understanding that a lot of the discussion happened before your appointment: Do you have any opinions about the new affordability rules the board approved?

Answer: The rule amendments were necessary to address the reported speculation with future workforce housing projects. Like reserved housing, our workforce housing program provides favorable pricing for income-qualified buyers. As we’ve seen with re-sales at 801 South Street, the difference between this price and prevailing market prices can amount to a significant windfall upon re-sale.

By applying the shared equity requirements included in the amended rules, a portion of the windfall is remitted to the HCDA. Historically, the HCDA has reinvested these funds to create more housing at deeper levels of affordability, like Halekauwila Place.

Ultimately with the state’s housing challenge, it’s our responsibility to take measures to curb abuse of our programs and ensure that qualified local residents that need housing are served.

Q: What about the “micro-housing” tower? Do you think there are more opportunities to replicate that?

A: It will take innovative solutions and the production of inventory at all levels and prices to solve the state’s housing crunch. Innovation was the focus of Nohona Hale, a remnant land parcel acquired by the HCDA with its Cooke Street improvement project. Nohona Hale features 110 affordable rental units on only 10,000 square feet of land. The density and optimization of a parcel this size makes this project really unique.

If zoning and infrastructure permits, finding a 10,000 square foot parcel of land is not a significant barrier to replicate such a project. Micro-units are a relatively new housing product for Hawaii, so I think the market will determine if and when the project is replicated. …

Q: How much reserve housing and affordable units are built now in HCDA’s Kakaako area, and how many more will there be?

A: In the past five years, this construction cycle generated 3,821 new units in Kakaako, a 65 percent increase. Of those units 1,620 units or 42 percent were reserved or affordable. Currently there are 2,686 new units either permitted or currently under construction, 1,014 of those units are either reserved or affordable.

While the increase is alarming, urban density is the solution to prevent urban sprawl. To meet the existing shortage and growing demand for housing, vertical development is essential in keeping other areas of the island pristine.

Otherwise, as long as our rules stand, approximately 20 percent of all new development in Kakaako will be within range of local residents earning between 120 percent and 140 percent of area median income (AMI). If it’s a workforce-housing project, this number goes up to 75 percent and affordability drops as low as 100 percent of AMI.

Q:What is the remaining residential/commercial mix planned for Kakaako? How much of the existing industrial space will stay, for the near term?

A: The decision to redevelop is up to the landowner; the HCDA’s mission is redevelopment and its community plan and rules apply only when a decision to redevelop is made. The future development and ultimate mix of commercial, residential, and industrial is open to those landowners.

With its tools provided by statute, the HCDA does work to create incentives for landowners to redevelop by enhancing the land entitlements like density and improving existing infrastructure. A lot of the development that has occurred during this cycle and is currently in progress are focused on and around these incentives.

Q: Are you in any discussions with the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation over its route and rail stops?

A:The way our statute is written, HCDA’s purview is generally limited to its community development districts and Kakaako is the only district affected by HART. To date, I think HART has briefed the authority twice now on the planned route through Kakaako.

Otherwise, the HCDA has been cooperating with HART and its requests to perform the necessary due diligence and utility relocation work ahead of the elevated guideway through Kakaako. There has also been some discussion with HART over HCDA-controlled parcels that will be directly affected by the project.

There are a few parcels that HART has acquired and is currently staging on in central Kakaako but most prominently, there is the vacant strip of land next to Keauhou Place that HART and (developers) Stanford Carr and Kamehameha Schools set aside for a future rail station. I think it will integrate nicely.

Q: Any updates for Kalaeloa? What’s the status of electricity service there?

A: Phase 1 of an energy and telecommunications infrastructure improvements along Enterprise Avenue is expected to be completed by the end of the year with Phase 2 to immediately follow. This infrastructure will provide firm power to the downtown area of the district. The HCDA is otherwise currently studying viable alternatives to provide reliable energy throughout the district, including the planned capacity at full build-out. …

HCDA is also surveying the planned right of ways through the district. Beyond vehicular transportation, roads are critical to the distribution of utilities. While it may sound basic, these steps are essential to the implementation of the Kalaeloa community development plan.

Q: Any changes for Heeia?

A: Last year, the entire Heeia community development district was included as part of a larger area designated as part of the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, or NERRS. As a part of the NERRS program and to restore the wetlands, funding was received and used towards the removal of mangrove, an invasive species. If you have driven by the Heeia bridge on Kamehameha Highway, the impact has been remarkable.

At the HCDA level, we have been working towards developing a community development plan and rules for this district. Founded in community input, the community development plan will not deviate much from the existing values of agriculture, conservation and preservation that currently guide HCDA stewardship of the district.

The work we do in Heeia really defies what people initially think when asked about HCDA; we’re not only about urban density.

It’s just one of many beaches that will be prey to rising sea level and erosion, two of the worrisome byproducts of climate change, an existential threat to this island state and coastal communities across the globe.

And not all the fixes applied this week at Sunset Beach will be appropriate at all points around Oahu; topography changes, ocean currents move along shorelines with varying effects.

But at a minimum, the start of a phased plan to restore what erosion stripped from the famed coastline is a welcome demonstration by the city. It exemplifies Honolulu’s promise to address climate change effects as they happen, and anticipate them in its planning process.

Crews began work this week to restore a sand dune that had eroded, undercutting and damaging the bike path along Kamehameha Highway. The broken bike path asphalt is being removed, sand will be moved to build up the dune. The public is invited to plant the dune with native coastal plants, helping to hold it in place.

In addition, special matting will be placed to create a pathway across the dune to the beach. Encouraging beachgoers to stick to the path is a necessary part of the plan.

All of this is aligned with a directive issued last month by Mayor Kirk Caldwell, a mandate that city departments and agencies take action to meet the impacts of climate change and sea-level rise.

In short, managers have the imperative to propose revisions to shoreline development rules and construction standards, taking other steps as needed to protect Oahu from the changes expected.

In the July 16 directive, Caldwell uses as the basis the findings of the city’s Climate Change Commission, which painted a dire picture of outcomes residents should expect from the extreme natural processes.

With no action, a projected sea-level rise of 3.2 feet by mid-century would damage or permanently flood 9,400 acres of land, over half of which is designated for urban use.

It would wipe out $12.9 billion in structural and land values, including 3,880 structures and 17.7miles of major roadway. An estimated 13,300 residents would be affected.

Obviously, action is required to head off losses of this magnitude. And all city departments and agencies are called on to incorporate new elements in the work they do. These would include looking for ways to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which have been faulted for causing temperatures to rise.

The commission’s guidance, a seven-page document, lays out the belief that in the later decades of this century, sea-level rise will nearly double to 6 feet.

Those findings are endorsed by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources. Its leadership implored county governments to plan for such an outcome, anticipating wave over-wash, groundwater inundation, erosion and drainage backflow.

In addition to the commission, the city now has an Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency, and making sure all targets are met is its function.

There is now officially no excuse to see the issue of climate change recede, along with the beach sand, in consideration for Oahu’s future. There is a whole new bureaucracy that is supposed to act as a prompt to keep the issue on the front burner — and its primary responsibility is to become agents of change. Residents of Oahu and the rest of the state also should examine their own actions for ways of reducing their “carbon footprint” and of conserving the natural coastal beauty.

At Sunset Beach, surfers and organizations are enlisted in educating the public about protecting the fragile dunes. Concern for coastlines is global, but Oahu’s North Shore seems a fitting place for Hawaii’s contribution toward their protection to begin in earnest.

I rented a beautiful, three-bedroom house at the top of St. Louis Heights when I was in my 20s. At the bottom of the hill was a P&P Superfoods market, Kyle’s Drive Inn and a Chico’s Pizza. City Mill occupies the site today.

Chico’s was one of my favorite hangouts because it had these newfangled tabletop things called video games. My favorite was Space Invaders and I spent hours playing it.

I didn’t know it at the time, but Chico’s was part of a mainland chain. With 9,000 square feet, the owners, Frank Nomura and Bob Kiriu, said it was one of the largest pizza parlors in the world. Wigwam Department Store previously had occupied the site, beginning in 1959.

Chico means “small” or “boy” in Spanish. I could not find who started it and why that name was selected. Do any readers know?

One side of Chico’s was reserved for teenagers and could hold 200 of them. The other side, with a glass-wall separation, was for adults and children. It had small, red tables and benches.

The owners said it was a “family-type operation with no honky-tonk music; just good pizza, chicken and frosty tap beer in chilled mugs, for the adults.”

Chico’s benefited by being close to University of Hawaii, Chaminade University and Saint Louis School. The chain began in Portland, Ore., around 1965 as Chico’s Pizza Tavern. When it opened in Kaimuki in 1967, it had grown to 15 locations in Oregon and Washington. Today the only one left is in Lynwood, Calif.

Chico’s served 21 types of pizza, including a seafood pizza with shrimp, oysters, tuna, anchovies, olives and mushrooms. Small pizzas from noon to 4 p.m. were just $1.

Four pieces of chicken were just $2, and they came with coleslaw and a roll. A bucket of 16 pieces was $5.75. A large pitcher of beer was $2.

Dale Machado says he has many fond memories of Chico’s Pizza. “It was one of my first jobs in 1969. I was going to UH and working there part time. I remember watching the moon landing on the bar TV set!

“Chico’s was famous for its thin-crust pizzas but maybe even more for its fried chicken and thick-cut fries. The fries were covered in the same coating as the chicken and cooked in a pressure fryer. It was the best-tasting chicken and fries ever!

“I started as a delivery driver,” Machado recalls. “We had International Harvester trucks that ran on propane. They had ovens in the back to keep the pizzas warm. Most deliveries were in the Kaimuki area but could be from Nuuanu to Aina Haina.”

After doing that for about a year, Machado took a food prep job inside. “I cut the pepperoni, mixed the sausage with spices and grated the cheddar and mozzarella cheese together.

“I also made the sauce. The owners mixed the spices in a barrel in private from a secret recipe! I then blended in gallons of tomato sauce and tomato paste.

“The restaurant was like a giant barn, with high ceilings and glass windows. It was like an echo chamber! When it was full the noise was deafening.

“The owners, Frank Nomura and Bob Kiriu, were local Japanese guys in their late 40s, I’d say. Frank would like to yell, in fake Filipino, ‘blang blang bitoy’ as he walked by us in the back.

“We would yell back, ‘mapu tangay no.’ I have no idea if that really means anything, but it was kind of a fun thing to do.” My Filipino friends tell me it’s meaningless.

Dave Leatherman says he and his wife Karen’s favorite hangout was Chico’s Pizza. “Their broasted chicken was awesome as was the pizza.”

Steve Okamoto says Chico’s had the best fried chicken but also liked Kyle’s Drive Inn, “where you could get one of the best plate lunches on the island for 85 cents.” Kyle’s Drive Inn was there from 1962 to 1971.

P&P Superfoods opened in 1966 and closed in 1983. It had a second location on School Street in Kalihi until 2004. Today, Kokua Kalihi Valley occupies that site.

City Mill moved into the Kaimuki site in 1984 and has been there ever since.

The word “pizza” is Italian and may be 1,000 years old. But baking cheese, oil and herbs on bread can be traced back at least 3,000 years.

Tomatoes were from South America. Aztecs called them “tomatl.” They didn’t reach Italy until the 1500s. Modern pizza can be traced to Naples, about 150-200 years ago.

Pizza became popular in New York in the 1930s, and one chef from there, P. Fred Rocco, moved to Hawaii around 1946 and began selling it here.

Rocco owned several restaurants: Filoni’s (736 S. Beretania St., now a C.S. Wo store), Rocco’s Farm House (McCully Street and Kalakaua Avenue), Rocco’s Drive Inn (Ena Road) and Little Joe’s (1067 Alakea St., now 8-1/2 restaurant).

Rocco also was a Southern fried chicken specialist. He took over the Ranch House in Aina Haina in 1951.

Hawaii has been blessed with some other notable pizza parlors and chicken joints, including:

>> Magoo’s Pizza. Gilbert Sakaguchi opened the first Magoo’s Pizza in 1967. At his girlfriend’s suggestion, he named it after a Hollywood, Calif., pizzeria. Surprisingly, Magoo’s licensed 20 franchises in the Philippines, China, Guam, Las Vegas and Dubai.

>> J.J. Dolan’s is named for two people — “J.J.” is John J. Niebuhr, and Dolan is Danny Dolan. They opened their New York-style pizzeria downtown in 2008.

>> Da Big Kahuna’s Pizza ’n Stuffs on Paiea Street near the airport is Hawaii’s only Zagat-honored pizza. It was founded in 1994 and makes the dough for its pizzas, subs and garlic cheese balls (OMG!) fresh every day.

>> Shakey’s Pizza — founded in Sacramento, Calif., in 1954, by Sherwood “Shakey” Johnson and Ed Plummer. Johnson’s nickname resulted from nerve damage following a bout of malaria suffered during World War II.

>> Hawaii had Shakey’s on Keeaumoku Street and in Kaneohe, Waipahu, Waimalu, Pearlridge and a few other places.

>> Pizza Hut. Wichita State University students, brothers Dan and Frank Carney, founded Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kan., in 1958. It has over 15,000 stores and more than a dozen in Hawaii.

>> Domino’s began as DomiNick’s in Michigan in the early 1960s.

>> Little Caesars Pizza was founded near Detroit in 1959 and called Little Caesar’s Pizza Treat.

>> Popeye’s Chicken began in 1972 in New Orleans as Chicken on the Run. It added spicy chicken to the menu and renamed itself Popeye’s Famous Fried Chicken in 1975. The founder, Alvin C. Copeland, said he named the chain after the fictional detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle in the movie “The French Connection.”

>> Church’s Chicken started in San Antonio 1952. It was founded by George W. Church and served original and spicy versions of its fried chicken. Reader Joe Harding thinks it was the “gold standard for chicken joints.”

>> KFC was established by “Colonel” Harland San­ders (1890-1980) as one restaurant-motel in Corbin, Ky., in 1930, where he perfected his fried chicken recipe (a blend of 11 herbs and spices). The military title was honorary. Their motto was “finger lickin’ good.” With his first $105 Social Security check, Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1952. Today KFC has about 20,000 restaurants in 118 countries with sales of $23 billion annually.

>> JoAnne Yamamoto asked about one of her favorites, Pioneer Chicken. It began as Pioneer Take Out in Los Angeles in 1961. Pioneer opened in Hawaii first in Salt Lake Shopping Center in 1973. It soon expanded to Kahala Mall, Waianae, Waimalu, Temple Valley, Aikahi, Wahiawa, Kaneohe, 1240 S. King St., Waipahu, Lahaina and Hilo. They all closed after the parent company went into bankruptcy in 1988 and again in 1991. They had about 250 locations nationwide.

>> Huli-Huli Chicken — Ernest Morgado and Mike Asagi launched Pacific Poultry in 1954. In 1955 Morgado marinated chicken in a teriyaki sauce his grandmother created and barbecued it between two grills. The cook would shout, “Huli,” Hawaiian for “turn,” when one side was cooked. That led Morgado to call it Huli-Huli Chicken. Local nonprofit groups raised millions of dollars selling Huli-Huli Chicken.

Whew! That a lot of pizza and chicken. I think it’s time for lunch! Where shall we go?

Division of Conservation Resources Enforcement Division (DOCARE) officers arrested for contempt of court the 57-year-old owner of a sailboat that burned and sank Monday night at the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources’ DOCARE issued a citation to Salvatore Di Amore for mooring without a permit since at least September. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear in District Court over that citation. He was arrested at 11:05 a.m. Thursday, and his bail was set at $150.

Since Di Amore did not have insurance, DLNR’s Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation likely will have to recover the sailboat, a DLNR spokesman said.

DLNR said Wednesday it started the impound process for six out of roughly 18 to 20 boats illegally moored at the harbor, including the one that burned.

Kevin Hart adds second Oahu event

Comedian and actor Kevin Hart has added a second show for his return to Hawaii in November.

Tickets for his second “Irresponsible Tour” show, set for 7 p.m. Nov. 30 at Blaisdell Arena, go on sale at 10 a.m. today at ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000. Ticket prices are $59.50 to $150.50.

The Philadelphia native had a series of hit comedy specials, including “I’m a Grown Little Man” in 2009, “Seriously Funny” in 2010 and “Laugh at My Pain” in 2011. That was followed by several starring roles in major feature films, such as “Ride Along” in 2014, “Get Hard” in 2015 and “Central Intelligence” in 2016.

He also starred in 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” which was filmed in Hawaii and co-starred Dwayne Johnson. He’s also known for bringing his comedy to sports events and rap music.

Former Maui police officer Chase Keliipaakaua is going to jail for four months for taking part in a scheme to bribe a witness against a fellow officer.

Senior U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor handed down the sentence Thursday.

Keliipaakaua, 31, will begin serving his sentence next month.

At the end of the jail term, he will be under probationlike court supervision for three years. Gillmor ordered that for the first four months, Keliipaakaua will be under electronically monitored home confinement.

Two other former Maui police officers pleaded guilty in the case. Keliipaakaua is the first to get sentenced. The other two are Anthony Maldonado and Walter Ahuna.

The Maui Police Department fired all three after they pleaded guilty. Maldonado will be sentenced next week. Ahuna is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

A fourth person, Damien Kaina, Ahuna’s cousin, also pleaded guilty. U.S. District Judge Leslie E. Kobayashi sentenced Kaina, 39, Thursday to two months in jail followed by four months of home confinement. Kaina has six weeks to turn himself in to begin his jail term.

Keliipaakaua and Kaina benefited from sentence reductions for cooperating with the government.

The target of the witness tampering is a motorist from whom Maldonado stole $1,800 during a traffic stop in September 2015. The witness speaks little English and at the time was on crutches. Maui police arrested Maldonado after the motorist reported the theft.

U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division lawyer Mary J. Hahn told Gillmor that Keliipaakaua advised Maldonado how to carry out a bribe to get the witness to withdraw the theft complaint and that the witness should go to the Lahaina Police Station, where Keliipaakaua would be the one to take the witness’ statement.

Hahn told Kobayashi that Maldonado gave Kaina an envelope containing $5,000. The government said Kaina went to the witness and refused to leave unless the witness took the envelope. Kaina is at least twice the witness’ size and at the time worked as a nightclub bouncer. The witness took $1,800 and Kaina pocketed the rest. Ahuna then picked up Kaina.

The witness never withdrew the theft complaint and instead reported the bribe attempt to police.

Hawaii County police announced Thursday the arrest of a 44-year-old woman on suspicion of second- degree murder in the death last summer of a 3-year-old Big Island boy, who was covered in bruises.

Chasity Alcosiba of Honokaa was served Wednesday with a warrant for arrest on suspicion of second- degree murder in the July 25, 2017, death of 3-year-old Fabian Garett-Garcia. She was released from custody pending charges.

Jeffrey Foster, attorney for the boy’s family, identified the woman as the boy’s foster mother, under whose care Garett-Garcia was prior to his death.

Two different forensic pathologists performed the autopsy and concluded that the manner of death was nonaccidental head trauma, so police opened a murder investigation.

The first autopsy results were received Feb. 22 by the Hawaii County Police Department, seven months after Garett-Garcia’s death, but the manner of death was undetermined. It initially was taken two days after his death, police said.

The final autopsy results prompted police to initiate a murder investigation. Police arrested Alcosiba at 9:50 a.m. Wednesday at her Honokaa home, where she provided foster care.

The 3-year-old’s medical records show he had bleeding to his eyes, bruising around his right eye, right forehead, left eyelid, right cheek, left chin, neck, right forearm, both knees, left shoulder blade and left flank.

Hospital records show he had been under the care of the foster parents since January 2017.

The foster parents told police that he fell July 12 while wearing a virtual reality headset and suffered a fall and injuries to his face and head. But they told police that he was not taken to the hospital for his injuries.

They also told hospital personnel that the they found him facedown in his own vomit.

The boy’s parents, Juben Garcia and Sherri Garett, are under a gag order not to speak to the media. Foster said in March they did not abuse their children, but temporarily had lost custody for other reasons and have since had their other children returned to them.

More people signed the petition against an out-of-state restaurant trying to kapu the name “Aloha Poke” than voted for David Ige in the primary.

Over 169,000 signed the online petition while Ige, the top vote-getter in any office on the primary ballot, got 124,528 votes.

Voter turnout was awful. Shameful. Not the worst ever, but definitely in the “Aw, c’mon you guys!” zone.

Aw, c’mon you guys.

The abysmal turnout certainly is not because casting a vote requires great personal effort or a big commitment of time. Recent changes have made voting so ridiculously easy. Back in the day, newspapers would do stories about people who were unable to drive, unable to walk, lying in their deathbeds or living in drastically remote areas somehow finding ways to get to the polls to vote because doing so made them feel vital. Now you can become a registered voter on the day of the primary. That’s an amazing convenience, like being able to get on a plane the very same day you decide to fly.

You can also skip the nonexistent lines and vote before Election Day, either in person or by mail. You can sit at your kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a voters’ guide and take your sweet time deciding how to cast your valuable vote.

Because a vote is valuable. Josh Green’s friends at the Super PAC Be Change Now dropped over $1 million to make sure he gathered enough votes to come out on top of the LG pile on the Democratic slate.

I don’t think it’s because people don’t care. People do care. You can strike up a conversation about politics with anybody in the elevator or in line for their latte and get everyone’s blood going like a spin class. Hawaii residents are not apathetic. They have a lot to say about the condition of the roads. They care very much about the horrible traffic jams. The homeless people living in squalor in public parks and roadsides make people so upset and frustrated.

Perhaps it’s that Hawaii residents don’t feel that politicians have the answers to anything. Or they wonder whether the things they truly care about matter at all to politicians, who, especially during election season, seem to be more about photo ops and taking credit than doing the quiet, humble, hard work of truly improving the community.

Maybe it’s preferable to sign an online petition than cast a vote because there’s a better chance of making a change when citizens deal directly with an issue rather than pin their hopes on a posturing politician. Maybe it’s more satisfying to paint a protest sign and stand with other angry people because there’s the sense that something might actually happen if we work together and do the politicking ourselves. Going alone behind the voting booth curtain with an uninspiring ballot can feel solitary and ineffective.

The thing is, we used to be really good at this. We used to be fired up about voting. Turnout for Hawaii’s 1959 election — the first time Hawaii elected a governor — was 92.9 percent.

Former Tropical Storm Lane intensified into a hurricane Thursday afternoon and is expected to continue building in strength as it approaches the Central Pacific.

Lane, the sixth hurricane of the 2018 Pacific season, was 1,780 miles east-southeast of Hilo and moving west-northwest at 15 miles per hour as of 8 p.m. Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds increased to 75 mph from 60 mph earlier in the day. Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 15 miles, tropical storm-force winds up to 60 miles.

The storm is expected to intensify into a Category 2 major hurricane (96 to 110 mph maximum sustained winds) by the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

>> Pearl City won the U.S. Little League Championship in 1988. The year was inaccurate in a list of title teams from Hawaii that ran with a story on Page C1 Thursday about the Honolulu team that will be playing in the Little League World Series.

Three batwing B-2 stealth bombers are in Hawaii for their first deployment to the state, Pacific Air Forces said.

The bombers, which are capable of carrying nuclear and conventional weapons, flew into Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Wednesday from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri.

“The three B-2s and respective aircrew, maintainers and support personnel will use this short-term deployment to conduct training sorties designed to demonstrate U.S. commitment to the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and enhance regional security,” Pacific Air Forces, headquartered at Hickam, said in a statement.

The Air Force said B-2 Spirits regularly rotate through the Indo-Pacific region “to conduct routine air operations, which integrate capabilities with key regional partners.”

In the past, however, bombers have flown over Hawaii, practiced bombing runs at Pohakuloa Training Area on Hawaii island using dummy bombs, and returned to mainland bases.

Air Force bombers also have stopped at Hickam on their way to Guam or Japan, and also flown from Guam to Hawaii and back to Guam.

But this is the first B-2 deployment to Hawaii, Pacific Air Forces said.

Retired Navy Capt. Carl Schuster, a former director of operations at U.S. Pacific Command’s Joint Intelligence Center and a professor at Hawaii Pacific University, said he thinks the Hawaii rotation is part of Defense Secretary James Mattis’ “effort to make us more unpredictable strategically.”

“Training and operating out of Hawaii implies we are preparing or becoming ready for short-notice staging of those aircraft in Hawaii,” Schuster said.

Training in Hawaii increases the ability to move rapidly and complicates hostile nations’ efforts to anticipate U.S. moves, he said.

If done routinely for training and presence, the United States can increase its bomber presence in Hawaii without it appearing to be in response to a particular incident, thereby increasing deterrence, Schuster said.

Deploying to Guam “sends a strong signal,” Schuster added, but training and operating in Hawaii for periods of time “puts them 12 hours closer to North Korea and the South China Sea.”

The more than $1 billion B-2s have a crew of two pilots and are about the size of a cargo van inside. They can carry a 40,000-pound payload.

The B-2’s stealth is derived from a combination of reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual and radar signatures, according to the Air Force.

In its fiscal 2019 presidential budget request, the Air Force said it planned to update the B-52 Stratofortress bomber fleet and continue with B-1 Lancer and B-2 modifications while also acquiring new B-21 Raiders that also have a batwing configuration.

The Raider is expected to be fielded in the mid-2020s, while the B-52 — which first flew in 1952 — is slated to have a nearly 100-year service life through 2050 with upgrades, according to the Air Force.

In February, Gen. Robin Rand, head of Air Force Global Strike Command, noted that in 1991 at the end of Operation Desert Storm, the Air Force had 290 bombers.

“Today that force has dropped to 157 bombers at five bomb wings and 15 total force bomb squadrons,” Rand said at the time. “That’s a 46 percent decrease in our bomber force while we have conducted continuous combat operations.”

Honolulu police arrested a 36-year-old convicted felon who allegedly walked away from a residential treatment center while awaiting sentencing in connection with the 2015 armed robbery of a soccer mom at Kapiolani Park.

Police and deputy U.S. marshals arrested Phillip A. Osuna in Mililani at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday on a $250,000 bench warrant after he prematurely left Habilitat, a substance abuse treatment center in Kaneohe where he was ordered to complete the program as part of his supervised release.

Osuna was charged in September 2015 with first-degree robbery, kidnapping, fraudulent use of a credit card, second-degree identity theft, attempted second-degree theft, unauthorized possession of confidential personal information and credit card theft in connection with the robbery of a 46-year-old woman at the park. She was sitting in her vehicle as her daughter practiced when Osuna allegedly entered her car from the passenger’s side and wielded a handgun.

A 30-year-old homeless man was sentenced to one year in jail for his attack on a female tourist in Waikiki who tried to stop him from injuring a second homeless man.

Preston K. Smith, who faced charges of third-degree assault, criminal contempt of court and revocation or modification of probation conditions, was given the maximum sentence Wednesday by Judge Darolyn Lendio for his July 8 attack on Ashleigh Andreasen, a 28-year-old hairstylist from Mesa, Ariz.

“What you did has no aloha,” the judge told Smith.

Smith had 10 prior convictions, including second-degree robbery and third-degree assault, said Honolulu Deputy Prosecutor Elizabeth Murphy, who prosecuted Smith for his attack on Andreasen. At the time of his arrest in the Andreasen case, Murphy said, Smith was part of Hawaii’s Opportunity Probation with Enforcement (HOPE), a probation program started in 2004 by Circuit Judge Steven Alm which aims to reduce probation violations by drug offenders and others at high risk of recidivism.

Murphy said she was pleased Smith received a maximum sentence, which is rare for a misdemeanor charge.

“Typically the sentence for misdemeanor assault in the third degree is about 30 days,” Murphy said. “The judge was really moved by the victim, and we are thankful that she recognized the severity of the crime as well as the victim’s injuries.”

The Honolulu prosecutor’s office paid for Andreasen to return to Hawaii to testify against Smith.

Waikiki Neighborhood Board member Jeff Merz praised Andreasen for coming back for the trial.

“Visitors are often targets, and criminals count on them being unwilling to come back and testify against them,” Merz said. “God love this woman. She’s amazing.”

Merz said the swift prosecution and strict sentencing will send a message that “this kind of behavior is not going to be tolerated in Waikiki.”

Andreasen said Thursday that she decided to come back and testify in Smith’s trial because the senior whom she defended, who goes by “Richard,” had very little, and she was heartbroken at the thought of allowing someone to take away the things that he held dear. Smith was throwing Richard’s belongings into the road when Andreasen stepped in to stop Smith, Andreasen said.

Andreasen also said she came back to testify because of the seriousness of the incident, which is still keeping her out of work and causing her to depend on her parents for financial support.

“I feel that he (Smith) definitely got the time that he deserved,” Andreasen said. “I hope that he will sit and reflect on his life and what he’s doing and how he can better it. I hope that the year really helps him find himself.”

Andreasen said she doesn’t regret standing up for Richard.

Andreasen said she remembers telling Smith, “It’s not nice to throw someone’s belongings into the street,” when he punched her twice in the face. Andreasen said she passed out from the force of the blows, which knocked her into a palm tree. That day she was diagnosed with a concussion and bruises to her lip, jaw and the side of her ear. Once she returned home, Andreasen said further medical tests indicated that the assault had torn the ligaments and tendons in her jaw.

“I had to visit a maxillofacial surgeon, and I’m having surgery on Tuesday,” Andreasen said.

Andreasen praised the Honolulu Police Department for arresting Smith the day of her assault. She said she appreciated the assistance that she received from the nonprofit Visitor Aloha Society of Hawaii. Andreasen said she also was grateful to the Honolulu Prosecutor’s Office for its swift prosecution and effective conviction.

“I still love Hawaii and I would still come back,” she said. “Hopefully, Smith’s sentencing will help slow down the fighting and all the assaults. I hope this will help bring the aloha spirit back.”
