Hossana, I could not agree with you more. I have for several years continued to increase my donation to Na Koa, I will be there for two games and the contribution comes with game tickets…..no thanks I will pay my way. I support this program and this team passionately and will continue to do so. Every little bit helps and the ease of doing it on line makes it simple…..lets pick this thing up and get it going in the right direction—-Go Warriors

RE: #56

ST — your worker description reminded me of K.K. Kaumanua’s 1960’s comedy job description of the “water boss”. His job was to bring a cup of water or two to the stevedores working the holds of the old cargo ships. I can’t find a video of the Water Boss skit, but here’s a sample of the legendary pidgin english comedian…

# 55…you remember…them dudes got caught with their hands in the cookie jar at the airport…with kickbacks in contracts etc….for me…this smells like the same thing…maybe your paper can investigate…

7 million can wipe out a lot of debt…maybe it was the plan all along…put 4 workers n stretch it out a few years…hope 4 another bowl game…. away…then jump on th gravy train…he he he possible…believable ??

Fact: construction costs have gone through the roof over the past 24 months. 20%+ on the West Coast. Some of the ineptness was caused by the market. If this were a market rate project, one could point to the increased rent, NOI thus helping to absorb the higher costs with a higher valuation. However, this was a public facility that doesn’t make any money, so no good. New stadium would need higher ticket prices, if this logic follows.

#42 mr. bpiccolo…spot on….however the problem ends there…after that it is a great big black hole…that no one will ever find out whose responsibility it was to see that project to fruition n on time…

Seems to me mr. BJ tried to look at the plans…or something of that nature…or look into the whole thing…but was denied…wish sumone correct me on this…..see the same problem….mr. anonymous rears its ugly head…n so it ends…who denied and or rejected him…does he/she have name…we can’t correct ne thing unless we know where to go or who to see…

We worst then the Malaysian government…not even knowing where to look…same with us….cuz…he (BJ) was turned away…(please correct me if wrong) as it was the best of my recollection on that matter…

It wouldn’t be so annoying except we all got to stare at three, maybe four, workers not do too much for a long time. Every rainy practice in the fall, we’d watch the project. And not much was happening.
On the other hand, go to the third-story parking deck at Ala Moana. Then look at the area that used to be Sears and the ewa parking lot. They must have 100 workers on that project. I saw one guy whose only job was to sweep dust that blew on the steel plate. Because dust is light and there’s, you know, wind in Hawaii, that guy spent a long time just sweeping a small area. But at least he was out there.

I was really surprised that the Ching complex jumped from $10 million to $17 million. With Ching’s initial $5 million investment, what was the interest on that deposit? And was the interest used to pay off other projects (i.e. debts)? I can see cost overruns of a million, maybe — MAYBE — two million. But $7 million? Really? Did the cost of concrete go up that much? It can’t be the labor, because they took their sweet-ass time putting the thing together. And am I the only one who thinks the complex isn’t that aesthetically pleasing? I guess they could get some paint. Hmmm. Anybody selling paint for $5 million?
