CORRECTIONS
In our June 21, 2007 story "The Drama of DU," we mischaracterized the status of state House Bill 1452, which deals with depleted uranium testing. The bill stalled in House/Senate Conference on April 27, and hasn't been seen since. Also, we should have identified the speaker of the quote "The military is the biggest unregulated dirty industry polluting our planet today" as Lindafaye Kroll. Oh, and in our June 28, 2007 10th anniversary issue, we got the name of former contributing writer Elaine Gast's company wrong. She owns Four Winds Writing, Inc. |

SO DRAMATIC
Congratulations on 10 years of independent reporting on Maui! I am writing to especially thank you very much for the recent excellent article your writer Mira Allen wrote about depleted uranium [DU] and the play Ten Fingers, 10 Toes ("The Drama of DU, June 21, 2007) which we sponsored on Maui. |

WRITER CARRIES HC&S WATER
Somehow, it seems, Anthony Pignataro has missed the obvious in his piece, "Water for HC&S" (The Maui 10, June 21, 2007). Warren Watanabe didn't say small Upcountry farms "would not exist" because he was trying to make nice with HC&S; he was simply stating the facts. As Anthony pointed out, HC&S founders Henry Baldwin and Samuel Alexander built the original ditch of what would become the East Maui Irrigation (EMI) system. Then they built all the rest of the ditches and tunnels that bring water from as far as Nahiku to the dry Upcountry area. The company has maintained and operated the system for more than a century, right up to the present day. |

| “A shell crashed ashore. In the dun-colored houses along Kahului’s waterfront, stevedores and their women heard the gun again, like a door slamming, and again the crash of the shell. The Jap fired ten rounds in all. Then the submarine disappeared in the night. Announcing this attack on an undefended, unimportant cane-&-pineapple port, the U.S. Navy reported: no casualties, negligible damage.”
-From “Dusk in Kahului,” Time Magazine, Dec. 28, 1941 |
