Jet noise will spike Tuesday
A Honolulu Airport runway will be closed for maintenance Tuesday afternoon, and state officials say downtown and Sand Island residents should expect an increase in aircraft traffic. The reef runway, 8R-26L, will be closed from 2:30 to 4 p.m., according to a state Department of Transportation press release. The rerouting of aircraft means people downtown and on Sand Island will experience a possible increase in aircraft noise, the state release said.
NEW YEAR'S WISHES
Readers, tell us about 2007
THE tick of the clock from December 2006's last second to January 2007's first is really no different from any other. Nonetheless, it marks a turn of time regarded as a genesis -- a beginning.
The Star-Bulletin would like readers to submit their thoughts, ideas and hopes for 2007. Tell us what you would like the year to bring or what you expect 2007 will be like. Feel free to get the family involved -- we'd like to hear from our younger readers, too. And you're welcome to express your feelings in a photograph or drawing rather than words, if you prefer.
Comments and observations may be personal or global, material or spiritual -- whatever is on your mind. We will publish your words on New Year's Day, along with some photos and other artwork you send.
E-mail us at newyear@starbulletin.com, or send mail to Editorial Dept., Star-Bulletin, 7 Waterfront Plaza, 500 Ala Moana, Suite 210, Honolulu, HI, 96813.
We look forward to hearing from you!
