Last week, businesses and county officials were busy preparing for the ordinance to take effect.

Jerry Masaki, general manager at Pukalani Superette, said he has banners hanging outside his store along with posters inside and employees wearing buttons to remind customers of the change and to encourage them to bring in their recyclable bags.  Read More

What a classy, brave and thoughtful individual John Green is – father of the 9-year-old girl murdered by Jared Loughner – Green contradicts the distasteful rush to exploit Saturday’s tragic events as a vehicle through which to eviscerate the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

Speaking to Fox News, Green labeled Loughner’s rampage a “random act” and said that the death of his daughter should not be exploited to revoke freedoms.

Speaking on the subject of how travel became a nightmare after 9/11, John Green said, “We don’t need any more restrictions on our society,” as a consequence of the shootings, and said that tragic events such as those that led to the murder of his daughter was the price Americans have to pay for freedom.
