Surf up to 40 feet high is forecast for Oahu and other major islands today and Tuesday.

A high-surf warning, in effect through at least 6 p.m. Tuesday, also extends to the west shores of Kauai, Niihau, Oahu and Molokai, the National Weather Service said.

“A large north-northwest swell will build rapidly Monday, bringing warning-level surf to exposed north- and west-facing shores of Kauai County in the morning,” the agency said on its website Sunday. Oahu and Maui County will be hit during the day, and Hawaii island in the evening, forecasters said.

Surf in the 30- to 40-foot range can be expected on the north and west shores of Kauai, Niihau and Molokai and the north shores of Oahu and Maui. Waves from 20 to 30 feet are predicted for the west shore of Oahu and north shores of the Big Island, the weather service said.

The weather service predicted “very strong breaking waves and strong longshore and rip currents.” Navigating harbor channels also could prove hazardous, the agency said.

Ballot includes 2 elections for 1 seat

The death of a Hawaii congressmen has led to an unusual ballot that might be confusing to voters in urban Honolulu.

Voters in the 1st Congressional District are being asked to vote twice — on the same ballot — for candidates running for the same seat.

That’s because someone has to fill the late U.S. Rep. Mark Takai’s seat for the next two years, beginning in January, and also the two-month unfinished term. The latter will be decided Tuesday in a special election.

In the general election for the two-year term, there are four candidates, including former U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, and all are running in the special election. But in the special election there are 10 candidates, including four additional Democrats.

Takai died in office in July.

Komoda Store & Bakery celebrates its centennial

MAKAWAO, Maui >> A mom-and-pop bakery is celebrating 100 years in business.

Komoda Store & Bakery dates to 1916 when it opened as T. Komoda Store in Makawao. What started as a general store — with merchandise ranging from fabric to groceries — is now known for its stick doughnuts and cream puffs.

The Makawao History Museum is hosting an exhibit based on the anniversary, the Maui News reported.

In 1932 the family purchased its current spot along Baldwin Avenue in Makawao. As World War II loomed before the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, Takezo and Shigeri Komoda anticipated the loss of what they had because they were not U.S. citizens.

So they transferred the property and business to Takeo Komoda, their oldest son, and his wife, Kiyoko, who were citizens, according to museum researcher Gail Ainsworth. The store founders had eight children, all of whom participated in the family business at some point.

“We can’t believe it lasted this long,” said Betty Shibuya, daughter of Takeo and Kiyoko Komoda. Her ancestors would be surprised the family has kept the business thriving for a century, she said.

Her husband and the business’s chief baker, Calvin Shibuya, joked that he feels like he’s 100 years old, even though he’s 73, because of a workday that begins at 11:30 p.m. and ends at 4 p.m. Two other employees begin their day at 1:30 a.m. to help with the baking.

He promises to keep the business going for as long as possible, churning out goodies such as butter rolls, pies and buns.

“I’ve always said we’ll (be open) as long as we stay healthy,” he said.
