Repairs extend Arizona Memorial closure

The National Park Service says the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor will be closed to visitors for an extra two days while its dock is replaced.

The Park Service had planned for the new dock to be finished Sunday, but it now says it won’t be complete until Tuesday.

Visitors are taken on a boat ride to a spot near the memorial while the replacement work is underway, but they aren’t allowed to disembark and get on the memorial. The memorial will reopen to visitors Wednesday.

The memorial is built over the Arizona, which sank after Japanese planes bombed the battleship on Dec. 7, 1941.

Sharks sighted in Hanalei Bay

Lifeguards closed Hanalei Bay to swimming Friday after two sharks were seen near the pier at about 1:30 p.m.

Lifeguards posted “No swimming” and “Shark sighted” signs along the beach, a Kauai County spokeswoman said in a news release.

Beachgoers were advised to stay out of the water until further notice. Lifeguards on Jet Skis monitored the area.

Ocean safety crews were to assess the situation this morning to determine whether the beach should be reopened.

Maui winds spur advisory

Strong tradewinds in Maui County have prompted a small-craft advisory for Maalaea Bay and the Pailolo and Alenuihaha channels.

The National Weather Service said Friday that winds from the northeast and east were blowing at nearly 30 mph, and seas were at least 10 feet.

Those conditions are expected to continue through this afternoon, the weather service said.

Also a high-pressure system north of Kauai will continue to generate moderate to breezy tradewinds into next week.

Big Isle budgets to hire arborist

The Hawaii County Council has added $120,000 to the budget to hire and equip a professional arborist.

At the request of Puna Councilman Greggor Ilagan, the Council voted 7-2 earlier this month to add the position of county arborist to the Department of Public Works at a salary of $80,000. The budget will also provide another $40,000 for equipment, the Hawaii Tribune-Herald reports.

He said the arborist would be invaluable in helping the county get a handle on its hazardous-tree program and curb the spread of rapid ohia death.
