Police officer to be remembered at service
A candlelight memorial service will be held for police officer Garret Davis at 8:30 p.m. today at New Hope Leeward Church in Waipahu.
Davis died the night of Jan. 21 after he pulled over to help a motorist on the H-1 freeway in Aiea. A truck hit the squad car in which Davis sat.
The service is being put on by Davis’ friends. The church is in the Waipahu Town Center, 94-050 Farrington Highway.
The Police Department is also holding a service, tentatively scheduled for Feb. 7. Details will be announced later.
Hannemann takes in $538K for his run
Former Mayor Mufi Hannemann has taken the lead in raising campaign funds in the race for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, but his rivals kept pace in the last quarter of 2011.
Hannemann’s campaign reported Friday raising $538,000 for the race overall, including more than $231,000 in the last three months of 2011.
City Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard previously reported raising $203,000 in the last quarter and $352,000 for the campaign to date. Hawaii island attorney Bob Marx’s report filed with the Federal Election Commission shows he raised $214,000, including $50,000 of his own money.
Former Office of Hawaiian Affairs chief advocate Esther Kiaaina raised $23,000 through the end of September.
Her most recent report was not available Friday. Honolulu attorney Rafael del Castillo also had not filed. They have until Monday to file reports for the last quarter of 2011.
Candidates are seeking to succeed U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono, who resigned to run for the U.S. Senate.
