Time’s up for some 90 canoes, catamarans and other vessels tagged on Friday as illegally parked on Lanikai Beach. State officials issued notices to apparent scofflaws — asserting that if owners are unable to secure a permit to park on the beach, they must vacate within 72 hours to avoid vessel impoundment.

The state provides permits for overnight storage, such as for canoe clubs that use their boats regularly. No permit, no stay. That policy seems straightforward. Enforcement is another matter as some of the boats in last week’s lineup had been stored illegally for years. Here’s hoping for more elbow room on the public beach’s sand today.

Radar at Kaena Point or Kahuku? Weigh in

The public doesn’t usually give much thought to what overlooks Kaena Point — the quiet of that outcropping is what makes it attractive for hiking. In fact, there is a military satellite tracking station on the ridge above — and now comes the possibility of adding a Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii near there or at the Army’s Kahuku Training Area.

An environmental impact statement for the radar is being prepared, and the first public meeting will be at 6 tonight at Sunset Beach Elementary School. Bring questions tonight — or to 6 p.m. meetings Wednesday at Keehi Lagoon Memorial, and Thursday at Waianae High School.
