Aerosmith agrees to do Maui show

WAILUKU » Aerosmith has agreed to perform on Maui to settle a class-action lawsuit fans filed against the band after it canceled a sold-out concert on the Valley Isle in 2007.

The new concert date will probably be sometime in the fall.

Brandee Faria, an attorneys representing the jilted concertgoers, said everyone who bought a ticket to the original concert will receive a free ticket, and all out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

The settlement was reached Wednesday after two days of talks. Those who bought tickets to the canceled concert will be notified of the settlement and procedures to claim free tickets and cash reimbursements.

T-shirts blamed for clogging pipe

City officials blamed T-shirts for causing a 1,425 gallon sewage spill yesterday in Kalihi.

At about 8 a.m., the shirts clogged an 8-inch pipe, causing sewage to overflow from a manhole at 1709 Fernandez St., a city news release said.

City crews recovered 300 gallons of sewage before it reached a storm drain that empties into Kalihi Stream, but officials estimate about 600 gallons of sewage entered the stream. The remainder of the sewage dissipated in thick vegetation, the city said.

The Department of Health posted warning signs at Kalihi Stream and parts of Keehi Lagoon.
