UH research lab gets some of its funding

Gov. Linda Lingle has released half of the $2 million earmarked for designing a research laboratory building at the University of Hawaii's Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.

Current plans for a new lab and visitor reception area include office and wet laboratory space with navigable water access. The facility on Coconut Island will also have its own sea water intake, field equipment storage and mooring for small boats.

Library closed until the end of October

Hawaii Kai Public Library will be closed from today through the end of October for re-roofing and other renovations.

The book drop will also be closed. Library users may visit neighboring libraries such as Aina Haina and Kaimuki.

In addition to re-roofing the 31-year-old library, renovations will include repairs to the central air-conditioning system and replacing interior lighting with energy-efficient fixtures.

Man who allegedly tried to hit officer is charged

A 23-year-old man who allegedly tried to run over a police officer in a stolen car last month near Turtle Bay Resort was charged Wednesday with two counts of auto theft.

Police arrested Edward W. Marshall Tuesday on suspicion of first-degree murder in Kaneohe, but he was not charged with that offense.

Police arrested Marshall at 6:40 p.m. near 45-596 Kamehameha Highway along with a 23-year-old woman. Police said the woman was not involved in last month's case, but was arrested for traffic warrants.

On Aug. 17 a suspect in a stolen vehicle sped up and drove toward a police officer who was approaching the car on foot.

The officer in the case fired four shots at the vehicle, and the suspect got away, police said. Police arrested another suspect who was in the car later that day but charged him with auto theft.
