Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Tuesday, April 30th, 12:23 pm

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)- The Occupational Safety & Health Administration has cited Halekulani Corp. with 17 safety violations after a routine inspection of the Waikiki hotel - and hints that it suspects other hotels may also have violations were they to be inspected.

"The hotel industry is one of the biggest employers in Hawaii, and it's critical that owners and operators have strong safety and health programs," said Galen Lemke, director of OSHA's Honolulu Area Office.

OSHA called 14 of the violations serious, which in agency parlance means the potential for death or serious injury. Those violations, OSHA said Tuesday, involve personal protective equipment use and availability, fire extinguisher maintenance and inspection, and the provision of appropriate equipment for electrical work.

Police charge man in connection with suspicious backpack in Waikiki

Submitted by HawaiiNewsNow W... on Saturday, April 27th, 12:33 pm

WAIKIKI (HawaiiNewsNow)- Honolulu Police have charged a man in connection with a suspicious backpack that resulted in the shutdown of a block of Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki.

Trenton Christenson, 28, was arrested and charged with second-degree terroristic threatening, a misdemeanor. He has no local address. Bail was set at $2,000.

According to Honolulu Police Capt. Ryan Borges, the man was seen leaving the backpack in front of the Cartier store at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center at about 2 p.m.

Police evacuated that part of the shopping center and closed Kalakaua Avenue between Lewers Street and Royal Hawaiian Avenue as a precaution during the investigation.

A remote-controlled robot was used to X-ray the backpack. Shortly afterward, a bomb squad technician wearing safety gear examined the backpack and determined that there were no explosives inside. Police then gave the all-clear and reopened the area at 5 p.m.
